To Infiniti & Beyond

Chapter Forty-Nine

Brynn, Jaxon, and Grayson slept at my house last night. Only, we didn't sleep. Our flight's departure was at 3am, so we left for the airport at midnight deciding on pulling an all-nighter.

Jaxon brought his small vlog camera as he had decided he'd like to document this adventure - which is very sweet. He documented us loading our bags into Grayson's car, us walking into the airport, Brynn and I sleeping at the airport, us walking onto the plane, and us in our seats. Jaxon continued filming through our arrival to the Florida airport and the condo.

Since Brynn and I had last been here, my aunt and her spouse, as well as my mom and her boyfriend, have visited. The once bare condo now has a homey feel to it due to it now being completely furnished.

Grayson and I claim the master bedroom, but Brynn and I claim the master bathroom. Brynn and Jaxon take the second biggest room.

Once we're all settled, we reconvene in the livingroom to discuss where we'd like to eat lunch. The agreed upon verdict: burgers.

We order the uber then everyone goes to freshen up since being on the stuffy plane.

The chosen restaurant is a quaint local business, they seat us outside. The weather is nice and sunny in the high 70's. There is a slight buzz of people around us, but ultimately the local life is presumably working as it's Friday.

During lunch we decided that going to the beach until sunset prior to dinner would be a nice way to end the day. We take our time enjoying the delicious food, and then head back to the condo to get ready.

Brynn and I kick Grayson out of our room and banish him in the spare room to get ready, Jaxon remains in his and Brynn's room. Brynn and I gossip through the open bathroom door while we change. The topic of conversation is hushed, as they're in the same house as us.

A short while later, pounding on the door startles us, "are you guys done yet!?" It's Grayson.

"A couple more minutes!"

That estimated couple of minutes may or may not have turned into 20 more... What can I say? We're just two teenage girls!

Brynn and I emerge into the living room now transformed.

"Finally!" Grayson hops up from his spot on the couch. As he passes me, he stops to give me a quick kiss, then he squeezes my ass and I swat his bicep in reaction to the motion. He just chuckles.

Brynn grabs a beach bag from the utility closet and I grab beach towels from the linen closet. I instruct Jaxon that there should be water and personal chip bags in the pantry. We make a mental note to stop at the store before coming home.

Jaxon continues to film our adventure to the beach as well as some footage while we're there.

Brynn and I tan while the boys attempt to make a sand castle using toys they borrowed from the family nearby. The two little boys eventually came over and asked if they could help, seeing Jaxon and Grayson interact with the kids made Brynn and I practically go feral.

Their parents came to collect them a short while later, so the four of us made our way into the water.

The water was slightly chilly, the first thing Grayson and Jaxon did when they got in was go all the way under. As they made their way back to us, they mercilessly splashed us. Brynn and I squealed each time a new droplet coated our bare skin.

Jaxon grabbed Brynn's hands and started pulling her further out. It didn't take much convincing to get her shoulder's deep. She'd do anything for him and go anywhere with him.

I'm the same way with Grayson, only he didn't lead me out. No, he hunted me down, threw me over his shoulder, and walked me out there to join Brynn and Jaxon himself. Instead of placing me down, he dunked us both.

The sun setting behind us as we goofed off was cinematic. It made me feel like we were in a coming of age movie.

We dried off then as we made our way inland we researched nearby restaurants. A seafood joint that looked highly rated was a short walk away, so that's where we ended up. Walking hand in hand with Grayson, having Brynn and Jaxon walking hand in hand behind us, felt so surreal in the best way possible.

Dinner was fantastic. We ordered the uber as we waited for the check and everything came in perfect timing.

We had the uber drop us off at Walmart so we could pick up basic essentials for the next two days. In typical fashion, as we would've back home, the four of us remained unserious.

After stocking the condo, we went our separate ways for the night, desperate to catch up on sleep.
