Chapter 11 I might like you a little

• Rachel's POV
• When I came home earlier I was so full of positive energy that I had to do something with it.
• So I cleaned the house, cooked dinner, and made dessert.
• I did it all in a blink of an eye.
• Now that I was waiting for Mason to emerge from the shower I had nothing to do, somI thought to myself, why not.
• Let's get a bit dolled up.
• I hurried into my room and for the second time in a span of 24 hours started digging in my closet for something nice.
• For a change, today's evening was pretty warm.
• So I decided on a nice blue summer dress with green stripes.
• It reached my mid thighs, was strapless and allowed almost no cleavage to be displayed. But the back was another story. It had a low cut that reached almost all the way down to my ass.
• Now this I call fancy but still casually.
• I paired my outfit with nice blue flats and fixed my make up a little.
• Now I guess I was ready.
• I came out of my room and spotted Mason right away.
• He was bent over the kitchen counter trying to steal some sauce.
• I faked a cough but it didn't even startle him.
• He stayed in his position when he spoke.
• "I was wondering if I was supposed to prepare anything or just start eating. Whoa. Are you going out or something?"
• In the middle of talking he turned my way and shock was obviously written on his face.
• I giggled at his statement.
• Wait. What the fuck?
• Since when did I become a giggling high schooler again?
• Get a grip woman!
• "Is it too much? I just wanted to look somewhat nice. After all, we are celebrating."
• E was still looking at me with shock but shook his head a moment later and just like that he was back to Mason I knew.
• "Nah it's ok. We are just two frenemies eating a celebratory dinner together. And you are right. You do look nice. To be honest you look beautiful."
• Wait. Was that a compliment?
• I finally checked him out as well.
• Well, well. It looked like we had the same idea.
• Because he stood in front of me wearing jeans that hugged his ass in a perfect way, and he paired them with a light blue button down.
• I chuckled under my breath before I answered him.
• "Well thank you. You don't look so bad yourself. I can't believe we even managed to coordinate our colors. Would you mind helping me set the table and then we can eat?"
• He showed me with his hand that I should lead the way, and I did it gladly.
• Once we got the table set we started with our dinner.
• I was waiting for Mason to take his first bite, so there was no chance I'd miss his reaction.
• And I wasn't disappointed.
• As soon as he took his first bite he moaned, and it was not a good sound for my body.
• Especially since I wasn't wearing a bra and his moan made my nipples harden in an instant.
• "Damn Rachel. I can cook, but this is something completely different. Where'd you learn to cook like this?"
• I gave him a soft smile.
• "It's one of my grandma's recipes. I don't make food by her recipes so often anymore, because they take a lot of time, since everything is made from scratch. But when I cook by them, it is usually when I am celebrating something."
• "It's amazing. But you better dig in or you will be hungry, because I won't have enough if I eat only what is on my plate."
• I chuckled but dug into my dinner.
• It tasted the same as when grandma made it for me when I was younger.
• It was like my own teleporting machine to go back in time.
• We ate in silence and once we were finished Mason threw me out of the kitchen with a glass of red wine in hand.
• He said I am not allowed to wash the dishes since I cooked.
• So I obeyed and sat in the living room.
• I was drinking my wine and enjoying some TV time.
• He joined me in half an hour, once he cleaned the whole kitchen.
• We were just watching some tv when suddenly I started drifting off.
• But I tried to keep my eyes opened because it felt nice.
• "You can lean on me if you want to take a nap. And I can wake you up once the movie is over."
• He shocked me but I was tk tired to care.
• So I just moved closer and leaned on him like he suggested.
• And in seconds I was out like the lights.
• *************
• I woke up because someone was shaking me.
• "Rach? Come on, let's get you to your bed."
• But my brain was not ready to cooperate with my body and it felt like my legs were not willing to move.
• "Nooo. Want to sleep."
• He chuckled and lifted me bridal style.
• It felt somehow familiar but I had no idea from when.
• Mason never carried me before tonight, right?
• Nah I would sure remember those muscles under me.
• We reached my bedroom and when he tried to move away I pulled him down on the bed next to me .
• "You are not going anywhere. I am not ready to say goodbye to my pillow. Did anyone tell you that you're a really soft pillow even though you have all these muscles?"
• He laughed lightly.
• "You are a very chatty person when you are half asleep. Has anyone ever told you that?"
• I had to smile at his comeback.
• "Guess we both lived in the dark because no one told us these important facts."
• "Goodnight Rachel. Sweet dreams."
• I could hear a smile in his words and at that moment I realized I might even like my roomie a little bit.
• With those thoughts running around my head I drifted off to sleep.
• I will think about it in the morning.
