To Infiniti & Beyond

Chapter Fifty-One

Our flight leaves at 8pm, which means we have to leave the condo by 5. We woke up early and the morning was spent cleaning and packing so we have the rest of the day to enjoy.

We've mutually decided to go to a new beach around noon after finding a spot for brunch. The goal is to be back home by 3pm so everyone has enough time to shower and get ready for the airport.

We were able to find a bar and grille in walking distance to the beach, so we'll be taking an uber there.

"Uber arrives in 15!" I call out hoping Brynn and Jaxon hear me through closed doors.

I walk to my laid out clothes on our bed and toss my phone onto the mattress beside them. I go to grab my shorts to put overtop of my forest green bikini set, but Grayson bear hugs me from behind - his forearms encapsulate my ribs resting slightly under my boobs.

My hands rest on his forearms. I tilt my head to look up at him. He smiles down at me before giving me a quick peck on the lips. I giggle joyfully.

"What?" He questions, still smiling.

"Nothing." I grin. "I'm just happy."

He chuckles before bringing his hands to rest on the front of my bare thighs. He starts to innocently kiss my neck, I instinctively tilt my head to the side to give him better access. My right hand snakes around his neck and I fiddle with the hair at the base of his head.

His fingertips skim under my bikini bottoms, and he adjusts them to rest higher on my hips. I turn to face him, his hands fall to my waist. I raise to my tip toes and give him a quick peck on the lips before returning my attention back to getting changed.

Lunch was phenomenal. I had the best chicken caesar salad wrap I've ever had. Brynn had a cheesesteak. The boys had intricate sandwiches that I've never heard of, so I'll assume they're the bar's creations.

The beach we've chosen to go to today is gorgeous. Honestly I think it's better than the first one we went to when we arrived. I'm bummed we won't get to spend very long here.

Brynn and I tan for a short amount of time before going to join the boys in the water. We all goof around and enjoy how refreshing the calm water is as the midday florida sun beats down on us.

When the time comes for us to get out and dry off, we all lay out in the sun instead of using towels. J. Cole's spotify radio plays from my phone laying between Brynn and I in the background.

All too soon we were back at the condo getting ready to leave for the airport. The boys let Brynn and I shower first because we "take too long." Agree to disagree.

While the boys get ready, Brynn helps me double check that everything is in order. The only thing left on our to-do list is the load of towels that we used today.

As the laundry runs, we settle down to watch TV. Jaxon starts to edit us a little video of all the clips he took during this trip and I'm excited to see the outcome.

The only thing keeping my spirits high walking through the airport dreading going home was the fact that I was with my people. When Gapplebees had started, I never would've thought that this of all things could've been a potential outcome. Yet here we are, and now I can't imagine it being any other way.

Flying home was chaos. Some guy two rows up from us wasn't abiding by the rules of keeping his dog in it's carrier, so our flight got delayed an hour. Jaxon and Grayson weren't happy because they've both got an early start to the day tomorrow. Brynn and I are fortunate enough to be in the position of being able to take days off without as much consequence as say either of the boys.

After that little hiccup, landing we were then instructed to stay seated due to the airport not having a terminal ready for us to disembark. What would've been a three and a half hour flight, now neared six hours. Not to mention the hour drive we had back to my place so everyone could unload their luggage from Grayson's car into their own.

By the time goodbye's were all said and done, it was nearing 3am. I felt bad for Jaxon and Grayson's situation. Maybe I'll surprise him with lunch at work tomorrow.

Walking through my front door I was greeted by Aston. Having a break from him was nice - as he's a troublemaker - but I'm beyond happy to be with my boy again. He follows me into my room, I drop my bags leaving the unpacking for tomorrow, and plop down on my bed.

Aston joins me in bed and I finally get to give him all the hugs, kisses, and attention he wants. When he's all calmed down, we settle in bed and I don't even bother to change my clothes - I'll just wash the sheets tomorrow. With that thought, I drift off to sleep in record timing.
