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!"
Mason walked out the door without responding.
Blair struggled to comprehend what had just happened. She told herself there was no way he could have meant it. She told herself he was just talking in anger. He had never been able to resist her in the past, and that was never going to change. She felt confident he would come back.
Two weeks went by, and she hadn't heard a word from Mason.
His absence was overwhelming to her. In bed, she would fantasize about his chiseled athletic body. The way her head would rest on his chest. How safe she felt wrapped up in his embrace. The way she would rub up against his leg and get turned on.
She felt certain he must miss her. When in bed together, he was like a wild animal in his lust for her. The way his eyes would hungrily study the shape of her body. She only had to get him in a room alone, she thought, and he would be unable to resist her. She would lure him back in. She just needed some way to get his attention. Then she got an idea.
She went to the grocery store and picked up a carton of eggs. She drove by his house late one night and saw his car parked in the driveway. She got out and, one by one, flung each of the eggs onto the car. It was a huge mess by the time it was over. She drove home, confident that she need only wait for his arrival.
Sure enough, the next day she heard an aggressive knocking on her door. She opened the door, wearing a pink tube top and tight blue shorts. "Can I help you?" she asked.
"I know it was you that fucked with my car," he said. He struggled not to stare at her sexy attire.
