Chapter 36
The next morning, Jessica woke up to knocking on her door. She got out of bed and opened the door. Mason walked right past her and into her room.
"What do you want this early." Jessica asked.
"Nothing, but we have to talk." Mason answered.
"About what." Jessica asked.
"I want to ask you out and you say it's simple to do but I can't do that." Mason answered.
"First let me get dressed and then we'll go down and get something to eat and talk then." Jessica said.
"Okay." Mason replied.
"Here's another thing you need to know about me. I have to be held in the elevator." Jessica said.
"You'll explain that to me, right." Mason asked.
"I will explain that as well as how I'm related to Mike but not blood related." Jessica answered.
Mason watched as she grabbed her clothes and walk into the bathroom. Jessica soon walked out and sat down to put on her shoes. When she got up, she made sure she had everything before she started towards the door. Mason followed her. They walked towards the elevator and got on. Mason held her. Once the doors opened, they got out. Jessica lead the way to the hotel restaurant. She waled towards and empty table away from the few superstars that were already up. A waitress soon came over and handed them each a menu. She then left.
"So why do you have to be held in the elevator." Mason asked.
"First I'll start at the beginning. I'm 2 years older then Mike. I was adopted that is why I'm related but not by blood. Our mom took up shopping when I was 5, Mike was 3 at the time. Anyway, we got seperated or I should say I did and managed to make it onto the elevator alone. It stopped between floors and it slowly moved like it was going to plummet to the basement. The just over the last 6 months it happened again only this time the cable snapped and it really plummeted to the basment. Mark, Rey and Glen rescued me from that and now you know the whole elevator fear." Jessica answered.
"Does it bother you that you have to depend on others." Mason asked.
"Somethimes it does but I just feel safter depend on them." Jessica answered.
"Okay." Mason said.
"So why is it so hard to ask me out." Jessica asked.
"Phil said that he wanted more from you then friendship and told everyone to back off." Mason answered.
"Phil and I would never work and second I don't want him." Jessica said.
"You have someone you want?" Mason asked.
"Yes." Jessica answered.
"Really, who." Mason asked.
"I'm sitting across from him right now." Jessica answered.
"Are you sure?" Mason asked.
"Very sure." Jessica answered.
"Alright, then will you go on a date with me." Mason asked.
"I'd be very honored." Jessica answered.
"So you have plans after breakfast." Mason asked.
"Yes but they can change." Jessica answered.
"Really." Mason said.
"Stop doing that. The only plans I had were to walk off breakfast in the hotel garden." Jessica replied.
The waitress returned and took their breakfast order. She then left.
"Tell me about you." Jessica asked.
"Exactly what do you want to know." Mason answered.
"Anything you fell comfortable telling me." Jessica said.
Mason proceed to tell her all about him from his childhood to now. They even continued talking as the waitress brought the food.
"You're not like other girls." Mason said.
"What do you mean?" Jessica asked.
"You actually eat more that salads." mason answered.
"Breakfast is usually fruit and waffles. Lunch and dinner are different." Jessica said.
"How much different." Mason asked.
"Lunch usually is when I try to eat my bacon and other breakfast things unless I really crave something. Dinner is usally after the shows and then it's when I get a salad, something else and then I spoil myself with either a milkshake or an ice cream sundae." Jessica answered.
"So now I know how to spoil you." Mason said.
"Yeah but that's not the only things I like." Jessica replied.
"You can tell me on our date." Mason said.
They continued eating and talking. Other superstars came in and Jessica finally finished eating. Her and Mason got up and Jessica paid for breakfast. Mason lead her out to the hotel garden. They walked around in silence. Mason took her hand and laced his fingers with hers.
"This is nice." Jessica said.
"It is." Mason replied.
"Don't worry big man, I won't tell anyone about this side of you." Jessica said.
"I don't care if they know. I just don't want anyone to use it against me." Mason replied.
"You wait till they catch you secretly sending flowers or texts." Jessica said.
"I can see flowers but I'd rather tell the person how I feel in person." Mason replied.
"Really I figured hanging around Phil and the others you'd have to be careful about that." Jessica said.
"I do." Mason replied.
"So I'll have to live with having you around when Phil doesn't need you." Jessica said.
"He only needs me doing the show." Mason replied.
"I know that but now that I'm part of Nexus, he'll find a way to keep up apart." Jessica said.
"Won't happed if we don't let it." Mason replied.
They continued to walk around the garden and little conversation.
"I should get back to my room before Mike shows up and throws a hissy fit." Jessica said.
"Alright, I'll go with cause Phil has us in the gym in half an hour." Mason replied.
They walked back through the hotel and over the the elevators. They waited a minute before the doors opened and they got on. Once the doors closed, Mason held her.
"I could get used to this." Jessica said.
"Me too." Mason replied.
Once the doors finally opened, Mason let her go and they walked to her room. Once Jessica had her door unlocked, Mason waited till she was safely inside before he left.
