Kevin looks up. “Gotta go.” Aliya smiles. “Jareth on the way back?”
“Yep, and I advise everyone to stay away from the hot tub unless you want sex.” He opened the door to the deck and began peeling his clothes off as he made his way towards him. The closer he got, he saw his face. “Baby? What’s wrong? What happened? Talk to me,” he said cupping his face.
Nicholas looks over to Kaden and then to Melanie. “So. Mel? You fancy a dip in the hot tub?” She looks up grinning. “Oh you are terrible.” He raises his eyebrows. “I’m sure Kaden would love to go.” She tilts her head. “Wait. You don’t want to go with us?” He makes his way across the room. “Yeah. I’ll be there, but I want her,” he says pulling Aliya close to him.
“Mason,” Gabby yells running out to him. He’s standing on her porch. “Gabby I can’t. I just can’t. Please don’t ask me why, but I can not go back there. Alright? Ever. If that means giving up Jareth, then I’ll do it.”
“Wait. You’re not staying away because of Jareth?”
“No,” he shakes his head. “Then what? You’re not making any sense Mason. He loves you. He wants you back. You love him. What’s the problem? Even Melanie is fine with what happened and sharing you. I don’t get you Mason Weathers! You’ve got people who fucking love you and want you, and you’re turning your damn back on all of them without an explanation! Do you know how stupid and selfish that is? Huh?! I’d give anything to have one damn person love me. You’ve got how many?!” He rushes over to her. “Ssshhh. It’s alright. Calm down.” He pulls her into a hug. “I’m here. Gabby, I’ll love you. Just give me the chance. Alright.” He kisses her softly.
