for mason, it was a sleepless night once he had left oceane's. oceane consumed his thoughts. she had since the night they first met at the club. this was an entirely new feeling for mason, he had known oceane for less than a week. yet, mason couldn't shake the blonde, french woman from his thoughts. shockingly enough, mason felt something entirely new when they challenged each other at oceane's apartment, it was like electricity. he hadn't felt like this with anyone else before, nobody else captured him the way she did. but mason wasn't someone who found it easy to express how he was feeling. "jesus mase, you've known her for like a week, get a grip" mason thought to himself, mentally scolding himself before turning over attempting to get a few hours of sleep.
                          
unlike mason, oceane crashed moments after he left. not having any thoughts consuming her mind, but that's how she liked it, oceane was often a victim of overthinking but she promised herself that she wouldn't do that anymore. she already admitted to herself that she had an attraction to mason but she wasn't sure if he even liked her as a person. mason was definitely different. oceane knew he had to be a player of some sort, she had heard too many horror stories from other models regarding their relationships with football players and my god, they had a reputation for themselves.
                          
it was the one thing she promised herself, she would not fall for mason mount.
                          
oceane woke slowly, a groan emitting from her lips as soon as her eyes fluttered open. she had been so exhausted she had fallen asleep on the couch and never thought to shut the blinds or curtains. oceane sat up on her bed and the realisation hit her. it was shopping day.  oceane groaned mentally at the thought of it. food shopping? yeah, no thanks. today was definitely not the best day for her to be shopping, all she wanted to do was lie in bed all day and avoid being spotted by anyone but unfortunately,  oceane couldn't do that. if she didn't shop for food today,  oceane would have nothing left in the house. 

                          
oceane grabbed her phone from the coffee table and her phone was loaded with notifications. she furrowed her eyebrows as she scrolled through some, seeing friends and family sending her links to the articles written about the sighting of her and mason yesterday. oceane cleared her notifications, opting to call the girls once she had some more inspiration. she continued to scroll on her phone before checking her emails in which she found one from aja regarding the pr stunt.
                          
hello you two!
                          
i hope this email finds you well! attached you'll find the terms and conditions of your relationship and some do's and don't's. 
                          
as for how your 'relationship' began, tell anyone who asks that you were introduced by a friend while you were both in paris ( i cross checked, mason was in paris visiting while oceane was participating in her dior campaign ) and you've kept some communication since but you've seen each other more since oceane moved to london, and things blossomed from there.
                          
it's a basic story that should be easy to remember. if you're asked, answer vaguely with the details above and pretend that you're a 'private couple.' do not over complicate any of this by any means. this will only be difficult if you make it difficult.
                          
please let me know if you've received this email and please stick to the schedule.

                          
kind regards,
aja
                          
oceane sighed as she clicked on the attachment. she knew that a lot of aja was asking could be demanding and it was far too early for oceane to be dealing with a false relationship. it was something she had to do. "think of your career," oceane muttered under her breath as she began reading through.
