Never Enough

nineteen.

Mia.

"Mom?"

"Mom?" Grayson and Ethan choked simultaneously.

"Sweetie! I missed you so much," she ran towards me, dropping all her luggage and bags at the door, leaving it wide opened.

"Why are you here?" I said, trying to make it sound as nice as possible.

"What? you didn't miss me?" she scoffed pulling away from me and crossing her arms.

"Well, I'm just a bit surprised. You didn't tell me you were coming,"

At this point everyone was just watching me and my mother from a far. Both Gray and E looked both scared and shocked and Maddi just looked annoyed.

I can't blame her. My mother can be very selfish and pushy at times and there's nothing I can do about it. I'm only 17 so it's not exactly like I can do whatever I want, yet.

"Really mom, what're you doing here?"

She rolled her eyes and sat down at the table.

"Well, I got you a job and we have a meeting tomorrow morning with a modeling agency," she blurted out nonchalantly.

My eyes widened and I stepped towards her. Becoming a model was one of my dreams, and I planned on applying for some agencies but I guess my mom beat me to it.

"Mom-"

"You can thank, Vince... this guy I work with. He has a connection to the head of this modeling agency and made a couple of calls," she explained.

I looked over and the boys and Maddi and they just stood there frozen, still watching us go back and forth at each other.

"Thanks, this means a lot to me," I smiled and hugged her for real this time.

"So, mom these are my friends. I mean- you know Maddi but this is Ethan and that's Grayson,"

When i said his name, Grayson looked up at me and stared me in the eyes. They started there and went down my body and back up causing a fire to spark within me.

I trembled under his intense stare and looked back at my mom. She seemed to be examining them; inspecting their every move and all their features.

"It's nice to meet you," Ethan said standing up from the couch and walking over to my mother to shake her hand.

Grayson followed suit and smiled at her while gripping her hand firmly and then stepping back.

"So, which one are you dating?" she smirked at them and brought her hand up under her chin.

"Oh- no- I mean," I stuttered.

"We're all just friends, ma'am," Grayson smiled politely.

I think this is the first time I've ever seen both of them act so proper and behaved. They're always so wild and inappropriate, it was almost foreign to see them like this.

The way Grayson stood, with his arm crossed and his back slightly arched; it was so hot.

His muscles seemed to be bulging from underneath his shirt and I could feel myself getting lightheaded as I stared at them.
