“You think so?”
“Yup. I do.”
“In that respect, I take after my dad.” His gaze went over to where his dad had his arms wrapped around his mom.
“I can totally see that. It sure as hell doesn’t run on your mom’s side.”
His brows furrowed. “Noah?” At my nod, Mason shook his head. “Deep down, he really isn’t a bad guy.” Intensity shone in his baby blues. “He just hasn’t met the right woman.”
Glancing away from Mason’s stare, I searched for Noah in the crowd. When I found him, I groaned.
“What’s wrong?”
“My dad.” Jerking my chin, I motioned to where Dad stood ridiculously close to Noah. At Noah’s pale expression and tense frame, I could only imagine what he was saying.
Mason snorted. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen Noah afraid of someone before.”
“It’s my dad who should be afraid. He’s acting like a total idiot about what happened in the elevator.”
“He’s just defending his little girl’s virtue.” He waggled his brows. “Or I suppose in this case, the lack thereof.”
Smacking his arm, I replied, “Hey now.”
Mason laughed. “Sorry. I had to go there.”
Tilting my head at him, I couldn’t help asking, “What do you think about what happened with Noah and me?”
“I’m not going to lie that I was pretty fucking shocked.”
“Because I’m not his type?” I questioned bitterly.
Mason stared at me in surprise. “No, it was morehewasn’tyourtype.”
“Maybe he’s growing on me.”
With a chuckle, Mason replied, “He is a charmer.”
“So you’re not going to caution me against him?”
“Knowing you as well as I do, I can say that I don’t worry about you starting something up with him.”
“Seriously?”
Bobbing his head, Mason replied, “You’re strong enough to guard your heart and put him in his place.”
“I hope so.”
As soon as the song ended, I smiled up at Mason. “I better go, and check on Noah.”
He nodded. “Thanks for the dance. But more importantly, thanks for helping bring me and Laurel together. I owe you.”
“You’re so welcome.”
After squeezing him tight and giving him kisses on both cheeks, my mood shifted as I stalked off the dance floor and over to where Noah was standing. “Let me guess. My dad was giving you shit a minute ago?”
Without meeting my gaze, Noah replied, “Um, no.”
“Liar.” I tilted my head at him. “He totally was giving you shit because you got as pale as a sheet.”
