Long lost passion!!

Chapter Six

Miranda

I don't know why but there was this giddy feeling in my stomach. Kind of like butterflies. Hold it!!!! No butterflies!!! I might be 18, correction soon to be 19 but I shouldn't act like a mere teenager!! It was nearly lunch time. I already contacted Lawrence, she was so excited to meet me. It had been 3 years till I saw her. After her parents sudden death she moved in with her brother so she had to live in New York.

"Mason!!" I called Mason hoping he might be standing outside my door. Fortunately he was standing outside the door and came in because of my call.

"I would like to go meet my friend in a cafe so dress accordingly." I ordered him but when I looked at him my breath hitched. He was looking hella handsome.

'Oh boy how long has it been that my heart and mind fluttered like this??' My brain answered that it had been very long. Mason was standing there wearing a normal black t-shirt with ripped jeans and hair brushed backwards. Now that I looked at him carefully he was super tall like 6'2 tall and had a tanish complexion, Ocean Blue eyes. The way his t-shirt was hugging him his abs and muscles were screaming attention.

I heard him chuckling that's when I regained my senses and found myself gaping at him. Damn you boy!! He should have thought about my poor heart!!!

"I think I'm well dressed according to your reaction Miranda!!" No way he just winked at me, did he??

"Yess it pretty much screams attention. Do you have to be so handsome??" But when I realized what did I just say it was too late. My face was burning red and Mason was laughing throwing his head back.

"Fuck off. Just leave already. I'll change and come out." I pushed him outside my room but still I could hear his laugh through the corridor. 

This guy was way too dangerous for my heart. I thought he might be timid and shy but who would have thought he would turn out to be a devil disguised in an innocent face?? He was too much bad for my heart.

I wore a short maggie sleeved black crop top with an off-white midi skirt, black pumps and a black clutch with a simple 3 chain necklace. My super long hair was down because I loved my hair down. I put a light make-up on me. Well it was just a little blush touch and lipstick. When I was satisfied with my look I went outside my suite and found Mason standing infront of me with his back shown towards me.

"Let's go Mason. I'm ready." I told him with a bright smile. I don't need to put that mask infront of him because he could see through it. Because whenever he looked at me it felt like he was seeing my bare soul through that ocean blue eyes. Like he could read me clearly so I'll show my emotions happily infront of him without any pretence.

When Mason turned around—

"Holy mother—"

He gaped so loudly that my face turned red instantly. It was not my first time anyone reacted like that towards me but most of the time they did it because of my title. I know I'm not a zero figure nor I had those sexy model type figure which everyone died for. I had curves. I tried lots of exercises to have that petite figure but it never worked. So in the end I gave up and put my head on being fit with no fat attached to my body. You can call it genetical. Melisandre got mom's heavy curves which looked really sexy.

Guys in my class liked Amanda very much. She had that petite figure like model and was beautiful. Boys preferred her over my curviness. But Mason's reaction seemed so genuine that I couldn't help but blush.

"Is something wrong??" I tried to ask in a low voice.

"You can't go out like that!! How am I gonna protect you from people's eyes??" Mason was standing there wide eyed, hands on his hips and looking like a child whose lollipop got stolen just now.

I chuckled at his reaction. "You just have to save me from knives and bullets, which can kill me!! Now let's go." I grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the elevator.

At first he tensed because of my touch then relaxed a moment later. 'Oh my God!! Why is my face burning so much!! It feels like I'm going on a date  like a thief!!'

***

I was waiting at the cafe. Mason was really acting like an overprotective jealous bodyguard. Why a guy looked at me because of this he was ready to scratch his eyeballs out. It was really hard to control him from fighting every single guy who looked at me. I practically had to glued myself with him.

*Sigh* "People will look Mason. Don't act like a child." I sighed annoyingly. 'I mean seriously?? Who does that in 21st century.'

"They can look but not with those dirty intentions." Mason was huffing anger in each breathe. He was seriously reminding me of Roe. I really avoided going out with Roe because come on who would like to roam around with a discount version of Iron Man who basically blowed everything off which he didn't like. But it was definitely true I loved Iron man and still do.

"Mason. How do you know they were having dirty thoughts?? Let me tell you half of them didn't have any dirty intensions!!" I rolled my eyes at him. Could he be any more annoying?? I was the mind reader here not him.

"It is showing in their eyes. I shouldn't have let you leave the hotel like this. I should've changed your clothes!!"

Possessiveness was dripping from his face clearly. But I was super mad because of his statement. What was wrong with my dress??

"Mason don't cross the limit. You can't comment of my dress. I'm not like those mean girls who only wears mini skirt. My dress up is quite decent." That was it I was officially firing him but then he took both of my hands in his.

"I'm really sorry, Mir!! I didn't mean it like that it's just that you're really pretty and I hate when others look at you with such an awe. Specially boys."

That took me back for a second. What the hell was he saying. It felt like an love confession. I actually wanted to kick him in his gut and run away because I was so.....flushed?? What the hell was wrong with me??

"Excuse me!! Are you by chance Mir Roe Melisandre??" A stranger asked me. That was not the fact, the fact was her inner screamings about meeting me in person. How cutee!!!

"Actually I am!! How can I help you??" I showed her my most genuine bright smile and she squealed with happiness. Oh my that was a first!!

"I read your book. It was totally awesome. I would love to have an autograph of yours in it!!! Please can I??" That girl was practically jumping out of happiness.

It was my first time meeting a fan. I used to write stories but I couldn't remember why did I stop writing it.

"Of course. Do you have it with you??" I asked her holding my hand forward. She rummaged through her bag and handed me my book.

I looked at it for a moment then opened the page where author's note was written. At the bottom of the page I signed my original name. I handed over her book back and she read my sign.

"Mmcmillan??" She looked at me confused.

"That's my real name. Miranda McMillan. But don't tell anyone about it. Your my first fan who approached me that's why I'm telling you this secret." I winked at her mischievously and she blushed away.

Well, life of her age was surely very colorful. She was jumping with happiness and joined her friends after doing a pinky promise of keeping my secret. I looked at Mason and he was looking at me with awe.

"You're so cute. Why do you act of being spoiled and arrogant??" Mason asked me with confusion.

"Because she can!!"

I turned around at the voice who answered Mason. There was standing my most beautiful outstanding best friend Lawrence.

"Lawrence!!" I jumped of the stool I was sitting and rushed towards her. I hugged her so tightly that she had to tap my shoulders for time out. We both laughed at that.

But when I looked at Mason, he didn't look good. His complexion turned pale from glowing tanish. What's wrong with him??
