Mason is fixing dinner. I watch on from a stool at the counter because he won’t let me help. He’s nifty with a knife, slicing and dicing the ingredients for a stir-fry, prepping everything to within an inch of its life. I nibble on carrot sticks still wet from the tap, admiring his body when I should probably be focusing on his culinary skills.

It’s gone six, the sun has set, and I’m still here. It’s a first. We’ve never spent a whole day in each other’s company. Until today.

We even did cheesy couple things, like walking in the park and sipping outlandishly expensive coffees in the local coffee house. I’m waiting for the bubble to burst. I expect him to check his watch at some point and say something like, “Wow, is that the time?”

“What’s it like to be so intelligent?” I ask.

He gives thought to my question while scraping spring onions into a heavy blue bowl. I count seven of these bowls so far, each filled with chopped or sliced vegetables, including carrots, spring onions, red chillies and ginger. I’m salivating at the sight and smell before me.

“I don’t know what it’s like to have a normal IQ so I can’t compare, but for me, personally, it’s this insatiable need for knowledge. But only in areas that interest me. And, typically, I’ll discover everything there is to know about one subject until I get bored and move onto another. The app thing for instance. By the time I sold the company I’d had enough. I needed something new.”

“But property? And nightclubs?”

He smiles. “That was about having fun. Now I’m working on something else.”

“You are?”

“Yeah.”

“Where?”

He frowns, not understanding my question.

“Where do you work?”

“One of the bedrooms is set up as a work space.”

“And what are you working on now?”

“It’s software again. A programme for those with severe autism. It’s an interactive lighting and music programme that responds to touch. It’s pretty basic programming. The design and implementation are the more problematic areas.”

It’s the first time I’ve heard him speak about his work, never mind that I didn’t actually know what he did before yesterday. This is a little overwhelming. And yet I want to know more. I want to know the real Mason.

“Where did the idea come from?”

“I was talking to this guy at the club one night. A doctor. He was telling me about the existing software, how it doesn’t allow for progressive responses or user pattern recognition. I said I’d come up with a solution.”

“I’m guessing there are no profits in this,” I say.

He glances up from where he’s measuring spices, relaxing when he sees I’m merely curious, not greedy for money. “No. No profit,” he says.

And that’s when it happens.

Don’t believe the bullshit stories. There’s nothing magical about falling in love. There are no stars, no fireworks. It’s earthy, grounded in reality, in what’s standing before me, a handsome, sexy guy who’s as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. I know there’s still a lot to learn about Mason.
