anastasia has felt on edge the whole night, her real reason for being here being something that she’d kept putting off whenever she had the opportunity to speak to mason. excuses made, she has a lack of confidence and doesn’t wish to ask him what she needs and him end up telling her no, that it was weird she was asking him in the first place. she needs a fake boyfriend, hasn’t got the time to mingle and go through the tedious means of getting to know them and mason seemed like the perfect fit. they were friends, got on well and never seemed to be uncomfortable around each other ... she knew with him she could pull it off and make it look believable, it helped a lot that she did actually think he was good looking and not to forget he was the kindest guy she’d ever come across. but she’s worried he’ll tell her no, for all she knew he could be seeing someone else, she never really asked him stuff like that whenever they were together, would rather just enjoy the time. but it does also help that she knows her friend likes him too, hadn’t stopped going on about him and had even at one point mentioned that she was going to pluck up the courage to ask him on a date ... but then everything with her ex happened, finding out she’d slept with him a couple of days after the breakup and she knew they both weren’t to be trusted, that having them out of her life would be so much easier. but not until she’s had her own fun, thus for reasoning for needing to ask mason if he’d agree to go along with it, at least for a little while to make it look believable. they’ve all gathered at a friends house, takeaway, booze and films and so far the night was going well however when she spots him she’s quick to get up from her own seat and she heads in his direction, a smile instantly lighting up her features as she stood in front of him. ❛ hey, mase. ❜ she speaks, quickly glancing around them and the room and she knows it’s not the most appropriate place to be asking, couldn’t risk someone overhearing and ruining the whole thing for her. no, she needed to get him somewhere a little more private. she lifts a hand to grab ahold of his arm, giving him a look before she nodded out the door. ❛ can we go somewhere else? I really need to talk to you. ❜
