Gavin eyed hi where that came from "That came out of thin air" Pun intended Mason rolled his eyes and Gavin continued, "No…not really sure I want to, either"

"Let’s do it It’s a rush There’s nothing like the clarity you get on your life when you’re falling thousands of feet through the air You want to figure out your life, it’s one of the best ways"

For some reason, Gavin didn’t have to think about his answer The only way for hiet out and live it "Naone skydiving twice in his life, both tiht before he o when he found out he’d been lied to his whole life

He hadn’t planned on going again when he asked Gavin, but so about the way he’d spoken to Mason prompted the question Mason knehat it felt like for your life to suddenly seeh you didn’t really knohat direction to go He saw that feeling h he didn’t know Gavin well, he understood hi out of a plane was fun as hell, and he was actually looking forward to the chance to spend a little ure him out, and he couldn’t yet

They’d planned the trip for Sunday since it was one of the two days Mason took off at the bar Gavin had worked a few shifts during the week and see in well, which he was happy about Mason took Creekside seriously He’d always been soht his bar

Mason pulled up at Gavin’s house to see hi me up," Gavin told him as he climbed into Mason’s vehicle

They had about an hour and a half drive ahead of theh it wasn’t too early, they’d both worked late at the bar last night As Mason started to pull away, he spoke "No problem There’s coffee in the therar"

Gavin raised a brow at hi?"

"What? Get out" He stopped driving "No talk about fake coffee when you’re with me"

"Ah, don’t tell ood coffee?"

Mason started driving again "Did you just insinuate that ood bartender… You know, you ood at everything, ya know?"

"Fuck you My coffee and ood Don’t be jealous because I’m a man of many talents I’m not selfish I can teach you allagainst the seat as he turned to look Mason’s way His eyes looked tired, and slightly red He hadn’t shaved today, and Mason liked the dark hair on his jaw He wore jeans that hugged his legs, and a t-shirt pulled tight against his chest He had this innocence to him that Mason could practically feel, but at the same time Mason sensed more beneath the surface He wasn’t sure what exactly it was, but it intrigued hi to watch the road so we don’t kill ourselves before we get to ju to go there? With the ‘all h yet to flirt"

Mason shook his head and got his eyes back on the road where they belonged "Fucker" Still, he couldn’t help but smile

They were quiet for most of the drive and Gavin was thankful for it Not that he didn’t want to speak to Mason, but because it wasn’t every day that he jumped out of a plane

Both excitement and nerves made his muscles twitch and his body feel overworked Part of that was probably all the shit he had on his mind as well He hadn’t talked to his o He started working as a bartender, so since the day he was forced to walk away fro intensified it

"Second thoughts?" Mason asked as he killed the engine in the parking lot of the skydiving facility

Soon, he would be juo Which was exactly what he wanted in his life--to really live it and discover who Gavin Davis really was "Not a chance"
