Blair was sprawled out on the couch, still half-drunk from the night before. She turned over sleepily, only for her head to bang into the empty bottle next to her. She shook her head and opened her eyes slowly and painfully. The light of the morning, though gentle, seemed oppressive to her.
Mason stepped into the living room and saw her coming too. He extended his hand to offer her a cup of coffee. "Here," he said, "This will help you come to your senses."
She sat up wearily and took the cup from his hand. "Thanks," she said as she sipped it. She looked down and noticed she was wearing a lacey black bikini. It accentuated the voluptuousness of her body, revealing much of the shapeliness of her breasts. It's dark color also matched the deep obsidian color of her long, cascading hair. "When did I put this on?" she asked.
Mason sighed and sat down, his eyes trying to evade her appearance. "You and your friends had a bet to see who looked the best in their bathing suit," he said, "You had the male guests vote on you all."
"Oh," she said, "I won right?" She started to take small sips of her coffee. Blair looked at him, and noticed his eyes would not make contact with her. "Why won't you look at me?" she asked.
Mason took a deep breath. The time had come. "I just can't do this anymore," he said, "I feel like we are just too different to make this work."
Blair felt her heart freeze up inside. "What do you mean?" she asked becoming unnerved, "What are you trying to say?" Deep down, she knew what he was trying to say, but didn't want it to be true.
"You are a lot of fun, and I'll always care about you," Mason said staring at his shoes.
"Are you breaking up with me?" she asked, her voice cracking slightly.
"I just feel like it is best for both of us," he said, "I can find someone to settle down with and you can find someone who is more into this wild party thing."
"I can cut down on the partying," Blair said in a panic, "I know I can be a bit much sometimes."
"You always apologize and promise to change," Mason said, "It's never going to happen. I'm not mad. I've just accepted it."
Mason stood up and started to walk out the door.
"You can't be serious!" she shouted, "We belong together. We always have!"
