Meea More // My GBF

Chapter 4: Hold Me Closer

I woke up in Emit's room.
"Plane leaving is 2 hours." He says. I rolled over and wrapped my arms around his neck.
"Nope."
"I'm sorry B."
"Emit don't go."
"I'm launching my career, I'm gonna call every day and you know I love you."
"Meea more." I squeezed him.
"Ok I feel your boobs stop." I let him go.
"Don't be mad."
"I'm not mad Em, I'm sad." I put my sweatshirt on.
"I'm gonna need that back."
"I need something of yours."
"I'm pretty sure half my closet is in your room."
"I have work." My hands rolled in my shirt.
"Then go."
"I'm taking you to the airport, Mama will just have to deal with it."
"Then let's go."

"You have to let me go."
"But I don't want to." He dragged his thumb across the bottom of my eye, wiping the tears away.
"I love you."
"Meea more beautiful. Meea more." He kissed the top of my head as I took in one last breath of Emit and Brin. One last taste of our duo. One last hug of us.
"Kiss for the journey?" He asked. I nodded and he just barley pecked my Lips.
"That was weird let's not do it again." I say.
"Agreed." I watched him turn his back and start an adventure. Without me. With out the Emit and Brin duo. He turned around one last time.
"Meea more!" He called. I smiled and wiped me eye.
"Meea more." I whispered.

I walked into work.
"Morning B."
"Morning mama." I walked behind the counter with out kissing her cheek.
"Brin."
"Yes?"
"Did he leave?"
"I don't want to talk about Emit today or tomorrow. Or next week." I put my apron on.
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok it get it he's pursuing his dream. No more solo concerts he's lifting up and taking risks."
"Yes." She smiled.
"Now we have a new employee I want you to be nice hold in your sadness and...what do you say...chill." I laughed.
"Alright mama."
"That's my girl."

"What can I get you?" I asked a customer.
"Need a cake."
"Alright let me get you our cake designer."
"Alright." I walked into the back.
"Hey Ty.." I saw the new guy.
"Hey?"
"Came."
"What?"
"Cake! Cake. I said cake."
"Oh ok. B this is Greyson."
"Hi, I'm Brin." He had soft brown hair.
"Greyson. I just moved from Cali."
"Can I ask why?"
"New opportunities." He shrugged.
"Is Sarah here?"
"Red red hair?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah she's in the fridge." I opened the fridge.
"Well hey B, I'm just...getting some cream."
"Neil go home."
"Yes ma'am."
"New employee." I say.
"Right." We walked out and I shut the freezer door.
"Greyson this is Sarah."
"Hey."
"Hi." She put some hair behind her ear.
"I'll show you how to use the register."
"Ok." He walked away.
"Be professional."
"You know what emit would say?"
"Stop it."
"Yummy."
"Sarah Anne!" She laughed.
"Go make something." I shoved her into the back.
"I think I got the hang of it." He says.
"Ok. Perfect. Have you seen mama?"
"Mama? Your mom?"
"No Scarlett."
"Oh she had to pick up some fruit."
"Right it's Thursday." My phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey girl."
"Hey."
"How's it going."
"It's been a couple hours I'm fine."
"We still got like 3 hours left but I missed you."
"I miss you too."
"I got to go."
"Make my proud."
"I will, love you."
"Meea more." I hung up. I took a rang and started wiping down tables.
"Meea more?" Greyson asked.
"Like me more I guess."
"That your boyfriend?" He flipped a pen in the air.
"No, my best friend."
"Emit." Sarah says.
"Really?"
"Best friends since 2nd grade but I kinda beat him we have been friends since kindergarten."
"He seems very nice."
"He is." I brought the rag back.
"How are you feeling?" Sarah asked.
"Little bumbed."
"Here." She handed me a letter.
"He wrote you letters for your feelings."
"Typical emit." I opened the card.
"So your unhappy? Just know that I'm here for you and I love you. And damn girl you look hot today work that ass. Give that homeless man on 8th a burger. You killin it, Meea more, Emit the greatest."
"Awe." Sarah says.
"Is he.."
"Gay? Yes."
"Awe GBF." He says.
"Yeah."
"What is it you always say?" Sarah asks.
"Til death do us part." We laughed.
"That right there is awesome." Greyson smiled. He had dimples too. My phone rang again.
"Hello?"
"So umm.... Did you say no the indoor hot tub?"
"Finnegan!"

I got out if the elevator.
"Fin." I groaned. The floor was soaking wet.
"How much do you think this is gonna cost?"
"A lot."
"Why did you even think this was a good idea?"
"Hot tub= ladies. No balcony no problem."
"Stupid brother= pissed off sister."
"Clean it up." I slammed the door.

I walked Into the bakery.
"That asshole." I say.
"What did he do?"
"Indoor hot tub."
"Are you kidding me?"
"That's awesome!" Greyson says. I folded me arms.
"I mean totally not cool bruh."
"Jack the doorman is gonna kill me."
"No honey he's gonna kill Fin."
"I could say at Emit's."
"Emit moved." I walked I got the back. I slid down the wall and cried into my lap.
"Brin." Sarah say next to me.
"He's been gone all of 4 hours and I'm falling apart! He's my best friend! He completes the Emit and Brin duo!"
"I'm know." She rubbed my back.
"I miss him so much."
"Sweetie misses you just as much. Don't act like getting on that plane wasn't the hardest thing he's done."

I went home that night a mess.
"Brin?" Kendall asked. I didn't say anything, I went to my room and laid on my bed. I felt a lump by my leg. Under the covers was a old band shirt. I held it. Trying to keep his sent forever. But it slowly slipped away leaving just me. I cried into the shirt wishing he was back home to kiss me goodnight and tell me Meea more.
