Chapter 38. Acceptance
She smiled sheepishly as she read the texts and bumped into a girl in blond hair who harshly pushed her.
“Watch it bîtch!” She said rudely and left with two other girls.
“Don’t worry about that, she’s the real bitch” Cynthia came from behind.
“Oh, I wasn’t even paying any attention to her,” Skyler shook her head.
“Where are you heading to? Can we walk together?” Cynthia said with a smile.
“Oh no you go, my husband is coming to pick me up” Skyler replied and Cynthia nodded before leaving.
Skyler looked left and right before going to Mason’s office, she knocked on the door.
“Come in” he replied and Skyler stepped then closed the door behind.
He was leaning on his desk, it was like he was waiting for her.
“Come here” he called her.
Skyler scoffed and moved towards him, he pulled her closer by the waist and pressed his lips on hers immediately.
“I miss you” he said softly and arranged her hair behind her ears. “Do you miss me too?” He asked.
Skyler didn’t know why she was smiling too much but she nodded.
“Don’t nod, say it, I want to hear it from your lips” he said.
“Fine I missed you too” she muttered and he chuckled a little.
“Mason, you smiled!” Skyler’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Did I?” He frowned.
“Yes you did, don’t try to hide it” she cupped his cheeks and began expanding it.
Mason just stared at her without doing anything.
“You should try to smile more, you look extra handsome when you do that” she said and he smiled slowly.
“See, it wasn’t that bad” she chuckled at him.
Mason took his telephone and dialed Sunny’s line.
“For the rest of today, don’t step into my office by any means. If you have anything to say, pass it to Alvin” he ordered and hung up.
“Mean but it’s cool” Skyler smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck while he leaned closer to capture her lips in a sweet kiss.
Skyler didn’t understand how good she felt in having to taste his lips again after a week, she wasn’t shy. He was her husband and she had every right.
She pulled away to stare at his face.
“I saw Felix here,” she told him.
“And I took care of him,” Mason replied.
“To be honest I don’t care about him anymore. I’m glad I found his true colors. If not, I would have been suffering by now” she muttered.
“And I’m glad I found you” Mason replied and she looked at him.
“Why? Because you won’t have this company?” She rolled her eyes.
Mason chuckled and pressed her chin.
“More babe,” he replied.
“Like?”
“I won’t tell you, I have to work” he stepped away from her and went to the president’s seat.
Skyler pouted before going to sit on the big couch and watching him.

AIRPORT★
A black limousine stopped in the airport, the driver came down and opened the door for Edna and Zita.
“Where is he?” Edna muttered and looked around the airport.
Her phone began ringing and she checked the caller, she smiled and picked it up.
“Where are you?” She sulked when she asked.
“Turn around” the male voice replied from the other end and she turned around to see a masculine figure putting on a long coat and scarf.
She smiled widely and immediately rushed to him, she jumped on him and wrapped her legs around his torso.
“No, no, no! Edna you’re a star remember? You shouldn’t be seen being this intimate with a guy” Zita walked towards them and pulled Edna now.
He inspected the handsome guy from head to toes.
“And who is this handsome young man here?” He then asked.
“Hi, I’m Zach Millar” Zach replied and extended his hands for a handshake.
“Well my name is Zita, I’m single and I’m searching” Zita accepted his hands and Zach chuckled.
“Funny but I don’t go guys” Zach chuckled and took his hands off.
“Bummer, another guy gone” Zita shook his head and moved away.
Edna hugged Zachary’s arm to herself. “Let’s go then, my family have missed you, when are you gonna come visit them?” She asked as they walked back to that car while Zita just followed from behind.

JAMES PLACE★
It was getting to evening, James and Carson were in James room trying to learn some math.
“So here, you’d put the x into the middle and square it to get your answer” James explained as he solved but Carson kept looking at his face.
“So then you can add these two and that is how you’ll get your answer” James concluded and turned to look at Carson only to meet him staring at him.
“Hey, are you fine?” James looked a little worried.
Carson shook his head and sighed.
“You know, I figured out that I’m.. I’m..”
“Gay?” James helped him to complete it.
“Yes that” Carson pressed his lips together.
“Cool, I knew it!” James smiled.
“Was it obvious?” Carson raised one of his brows up.
“I just know, but now that you know what you are, what are you gonna do?” He asked.
“I don’t know, I mean my family might freak out if they hear this though my mom is okay with it” Carson looked at James again.
“How did your parents react when they heard?” He asked and James chuckled.
“My dad uhm.. he killed me out of his house and said I should only come back when I bring my wife along but you know I accept myself this way so anyone comments can’t move me” James rolled his eyes.
“How did you accept it?” Carson muttered.
James turned to stare at him before his eyes moved to his lips. Carson followed his gaze and his eyes widened.
“Don’t tell me that you want too..” he gulped a little and James nodded.
“I don’t know.. I mean I’ve never… With a guy but.. I-
James moved closer to Carson and slammed his lips on his, not allowing him to finish speaking which left Carson shocked.
James pulled away and Carson stared at him, he couldn’t blink.
“So what? Do you like it?” James slowly asked.
Carson blinked repeatedly before shifting closer to James, cupping his face and pressing his lips back on his…
