Made in the USA

Anastasia’s POV

Mason smiled when he saw me at the Airport.

“Would you look at that” he said noticing I had no carry on.

I looked up at him and smiled.
“Pretty flowers” he said.

I nodded and he smiled when he saw what color they were. The bouquet was mixed, it wasn’t just Lavender Roses, and the bouquet had white Roses.

“Well I see you got your Roses” he said.
I nodded and smiled.
“I cried for like an hour” I said.
He laughed and got my suitcase.
“I bet you did” he said.

“Where’s Polly?” I asked.
“Had work” he said.
I nodded and looked at him.
“You two kissed” I said.
He looked at me and his face turned pink. I smiled and he groaned.
“Let it go” he said putting my suitcase in the car…well truck
I laughed and we got into his Truck
“I will not” I said.

He rolled his eyes and he looked at me.
“I didn’t” he started.
I looked at him and he stopped at the red light.
“I didn’t kiss her. She kissed me and she caught me off guard and do you know how awkward it is living there?” he asked.
I rolled my eyes and looked at him as he began driving.

“you should have kissed her back” I said.
“I don’t like Polly that way” he said.

He sighed and looked at the road.

“I don’t really know anymore” he said.
“Why’d she kiss you?” I asked.
“I was having a panic attack” he said.
I looked at him and he glanced at me.
“Why?” I asked.

He gripped onto the steering wheel.
“I’ll tell you when we get home” he said.
I nodded and he glanced at me.
“How was the day with the cup?” he asked.

“It was nice. He wore these tiny shorts that morning and his family ripped him about it” I said.

He laughed and nodded.

“I know I saw his day with the cup video. You hid well from the camera” he said.

“Did you explore Chicago?” I asked.
“Remember I’ve lived here before” he said pulling into the house.
“True” I said.
We got out of the car and he got my suitcase and walked inside.
“Ok fess up” I said.

He rolled his eyes and walked to the kitchen. He walked back with two glasses of Lemonade and he looked at me. He sighed and sat down next to me. He leaned back on the couch and looked at me as he covered his face.

“Polly is my friend” he said.

I nodded and smiled because it sounded like he was trying to convince himself.

“Ok” I said.
He sighed and looked at me.
“How’d it happen?” I asked.
“Dad called me” he said.
I nodded slowly.
“Said he wasn’t going to help me pay tuition” he said.
I nodded.

“He hasn’t helped though” I said.
He nodded and looked at me.
“We got into an argument and he kicked me out of the house” he said.
His eyes got glossy and I put my lemonade and his on the table and pulled him into a hug.
“You got hysterical then?” I asked.

He laughed and pulled away.

“I’m not that bad” he said.
I smiled and looked at him.
“You kinda are” I said.
He rolled his eyes.
“Ok what happened?” I asked putting a leg under my butt so I could be more comfortable.

“Well I was hyperventilating” he said.
He sighed and leaned back.
“She kissed me” he said.
I looked at him and saw he was looking at the wall.
“She stopped your panic attack” I said.
He nodded and I hit him.
“Oww!” he said holding his arm.
“Polly likes you and you know that” I said.
He sighed and rolled his eyes.
“Don’t roll your eyes at me” I said.

“Polly is a gorgeous girl, I just don’t see anything happening” he said.
I nodded and smiled.
“Well when it does ill be the first to say I told you so” I said.
He rolled his eyes and the door open.
“Hey” I said as Polly came in.
She turned to me and smiled.
“Hey” she said walking in with some grocery bags.
“Didn’t know you were coming in today?” she asked.
“I thought Mason would have told you” I said.

“Aww who got you these flowers!”

I looked at Mason and walked into the kitchen. She looked at Mason and then looked back down at what she was about to put away in the fridge.
“How was Penn?” she asked.
“It was nice” I said.
She looked at the flower and smiled.
“He got you flowers how cute” she said.

I nodded and she walked around the kitchen and put them in a vase.

“I’m going out”

I heard the door close and I looked at Polly who looked like she was about to cry. She rubbed her eyes and huffed a little. I knew Polly was mad now. She never huffed, ever.

“What the hell happened?” I asked.
She bit her lip and pulled on her hair a little. She had a habit of doing that.
“I kissed him” she said.

I raised an eyebrow. Yes I needed to act confused because I needed both sides of the story.

“He didn’t tell you?” she asked.
I shook my head and she looked at me.
“He was about to have a panic attack and well I panicked” she said.
“Why was he having a panic attack?” I asked.

“He was talking with his dad. I know it was his dad because Mason never gets that angry” she said.

I nodded and she opened a bag of Lays and stuffed her face.
“And well I told him I was sorry” she said well mumbled out cause her mouth was filled with food.
I sighed and she looked at me.
“You don’t apologize” I said.
She frowned and stuffed her face with more chips.
“Let’s put this away and we can go be girls in my room” I said.

She nodded and I opened the bags. I laughed when I saw most of the food was junk food.

“Oh Polly” I said.
She frowned and I took the bag of chips from her.
“Where could Mason be?” I asked her.
She shrugged and I looked at her.
“How far are we from Millennium Park?” I asked.
“Pretty close” she said.
I looked at her and smiled.
‘Well you are going to stop sulking and lets go for a walk instead” I said.
She sighed and nodded.
“Ok” she said.
She ran to her room and I sat on the chair. I sighed and rubbed my forehead. This was going to be a very long whatever I had left of vacation.
