Chapter 11: 'What This Is?'

I still stood there with my mouth open, not knowing what to say or do. Daisy got up and walked toward me, waving her hand around.

"Georgia?... Georgia are you alright? Did you hear me?" I came to nodding, still feeling the dryness in my mouth. Do I crush her and tell her no he's mine? Except my problem being he isn't, well not officially anyway. I figured we'd discuss it tonight.

"Why?" was the only thing I could get out.

" I think It's time I get serious" I raised an eyebrow at as this her, trying not to laugh. Daisy… serious? "Of course he has liked me for some time now…" I wanted to throw something at her, was this another game to her? " Lets face it, were both undead, and he's not bad to look at" Daisy had to be the most arrogant, vain, and self centered person I'd ever met! " So…?"

" Why are you even telling me this?" I threw my hands in the air, and walked toward the bathroom, but of course she followed me. I started to brush my teeth, trying to ignore her as she just babbled on about needs, and before it got rated R I turned back to her.

" What makes you think he's available anyway?" She stopped and just stared at me, and of course it made me nervous. I turned back to her, feeling a little bit guilty that I said that. " I just mean that Mason is a great guy, and good looking" I stumbled with my words. "I just don't want to see you get hurt, but tell him, if you feel you need to" I didn't really like her, but she grew on me over the years. I really didn't want to see her get hurt ,and me end up being the reason why, even though I'm not sure what it means for me and my feelings for my best friend.

" I know I come off as shallow, but I can't help it if I'm pretty and every guy wants me" I rolled my eyes, and she engulfed me in hug. What is with everyone hugging me today? " I really trust your opinion, because I know how close you are with Mason." Great, make this harder for me. She quickly left the bathroom and I just stood there feeling even more like a schmuck.

I changed out of my work clothes and into a light blue tee shirt and light colored jeans, and sneakers. I decided on leaving my hair down. I never really cared about my appearance when I was alive, especially all that make up and accessories. I figured why bother, If the guy likes you, you don't need that stuff. I remember my dad telling me beauty was on the inside. Now I realize how corny that sounds and wishing I would have at least been a little into girly things.

I was nervous… actually nervous, and I didn't even know if this was a date. I always hang out with Mason, so why all of a sudden because of some stupid feelings am I afraid? I groaned , looking at the time, it was nearly 7:00pm. I grabbed my car keys and made my way to the car. It didn't take me long to get to Masons apartment, but I sat in the car for at least 10 minutes, trying to calm down.

Knock…knock…knock

When Mason came to the door he looked like he's just shaved, and smelled nice.

"George" he sighed and let me in the door. As soon as I shut the door Mason leaned up against me, backing me into the closed door. He put his arms around me, and slowly leaned down. I knew he was going to kiss me. I could smell his cologne, and my heart was beating so fast I could feel butterflies n my stomach again. He stole my lips into his, and I didn't want to fight the feeling any more. I wrapped my arms around his neck and returned his fiery kiss. He let out a small moan, and started leaving small kisses down my neck. It felt so good I didn't want him to stop, but I had questions. I pulled away.

"Mason.." It came out like a moan, and I felt the smirk on my skin. This time I pushed away. "Mason, wait hold on"

"Oh Georgie what is it?" I sighed trying to clear my head again, and ignoring his little pet name for me.

" What is this?" I realized how stupid that sounded, as we both walked over to sit at his small kitchen table.

" What do you mean?" He couldn't take his eyes off me.

" I'm still trying to figure out my feelings for you. It's not that I don't trust you but whatever this is, can we take it slow?" He smiled down at me knowing now what I was getting at, and pulled me in for a hug.

"Anything you want, you just have to let me know." I sighed a lot of pressure lifted off me. "I'm not going anywhere George"

After we talked a bit and things calmed down, we cuddled in his bed watching The God Father. This was one of Mason's favorite movies, and the whole time he quoted it, and I made fun of him. It was almost like nothing at changed, except now I realized how much he meant to me. Some time halfway through the second God father I fell asleep in his arms.

I awoke with my body in a warm sweat. Then I realized where I was. I had spent the night at Mason's apartment. I tried to sit up, but his arms were wrapped around me and I was up against his chest. I could feel his breath tickling the back of my neck as he breathed. I almost didn't want to wake him, but it was 6:00 am and we had to get the Der Waffle Haus, and I needed to get the work. I had a feeling it was already going to be a long day.

"Mason" I whispered hopping he would wake easily, but I knew better. He was a heavy sleeper. Then a thought struck me, and I knew how to get him up. I trailed soft kisses on his neck trailing up to his face. I stared at him for a moment taking in his features, and pressed my lips to his. This time I felt him smile, and returned the kiss, pulling me on top of him. I pulled off of him, seeing he was awake now. I sat on top of his hips, straddling him, with his arms around me in this compromising position, and got a bit nervous.

"That's one hell of a way to wake up!" he chuckled to himself, letting go of me to go into the bathroom.

"What can I say I'm creative before I had my coffee" I re-opened the bathroom door, and stood in the door way waiting for him to get ready so we could go.

I let him drive my car over, he was really the only one I trusted to drive me car, besides myself. I kept looking over at him, with one thing nagging at me.

"What do we tell everyone?" He looked to me again quickly not to linger to long off the road.

"About what?" I saw him grin.

"Mason, you know what about… whatever this is between us!"

"Do we have to tell them anything?" I bit my lip. "Rube is such a nosey bloke, Roxie never has anything good to say, and I don't think should tell Daisy" For a moment I wondered why not, then shrugged it off

"Your right, it's not of their business!"

"Exactly!" we finally pulled in, and we casually walked in like normal. It seemed like just another typical morning. Rube handed us all our assignments, I was glad mine was around when I took my lunch; Though with me being the temporary boss I really didn't need to worry about excuses.

Bleaker st.

I sighed stuffing my post it into my pocket, and then excused myself to go home and change real quick before work.

I put on a black pants suite with blue pin stripes, and my hair in a neat bun. I wanted to at least look the part with Dolores being gone. As soon as I got off the work elevators I saw more paper work on my desk. I decided to chip away at it. I took the first five resumes on the top of the pile and told Crystal to call them in for an interview. I was too busy to look them over, I just If I would have been paying any attention at all I would have noticed the name on the top resume.
