Never Enough

twenty seven.

Mia.

"We will be arriving in Los Angeles in about 5 minutes. There will be slight turbulence so please, put on your seat belts" the pilot announced over the intercom, waking me up from my 5 hour slumber.

I looked to my right and peered out the thick glass window separating me from the outside world. I've always loved planes and how it made everything look so small and put together. Things look so organized and neat and when you're in it, it looks completely different.

Once we landed I grabbed all my bags and headed towards the front of the airport to search for Maddi.

My shoulders were aching from all the luggage and I was still unbelievably tired even after that lifelong nap. The list goes on and on and the only thing getting me through this right now is the thought of my nice, comfy bed and of course, Grayson.

I walked down the stairs and passed the check-in where I began to search for my insane best friend. My eyes scanned the room back and forth until they locked with these beautiful brown ones that i've come to adore.

"Gray," I smiled and ran over to him, dropping all of my things and pulling him towards me tightly.

A laugh escaped his throat as he lifted me up and spun me around multiple times making my head go dizzy.

"I missed you so much," he kissed my temple, my cheek and then allowed his lips to linger on mine. His sweet smell filled my senses and I found myself cuddling deeper into his chest.

I hummed and embraced his body once more before letting go and picking up my bags.

"I missed you too, but I had a really hot islander boy to keep my company,"

His jaw clenched and his eyes darted down to mine for only a split second before pulling me close to him.

"He was so tan, and oh he really knew how to make me feel-"

"Mia," he growled. "That's not very funny"

"I think i'm pretty funny," I smiled and winked.

"Yeah, yeah. Get in," he motioned towards the front passenger side of his car.

I expected him to walk around to the drivers side but he climbed into the back seat and shut the door behind him.

"ETHAN," I screamed when his face appeared in the driver's seat. I missed this goof more than I thought I would considering the amount of times he annoys me in one day.

"MY GIRL," he shouts and leans over the middle consul to squeeze me tight.

"My girl," Grayson corrected pulling us apart and scooting his arms between us.

"It's good to be home." I scoffed jokingly and sunk deeper in my seat as Grayson leaned forward and kissed my cheek as if he was claiming his territory.

•••

"I really missed you," Grayson whispered softly in my ear as we lay side by side in my bed.

Ethan had dropped us both off here so I could unpack but we got a little off track and ended up snuggling, which is fine with me.

"So tell me. How was it? Was it everything you thought it would be?" he asked sweetly.

I closed my eyes and smiled as I reminisced on my fun weekend modeling. I thought of my 6 year old self and how much she adored all the models she saw in the magazines and billboards, and I knew she wouldn't believe me if I told her that that would be her one day.

"It was," I paused whilst sitting up slightly, "everything I expected, it's just- I missed you a lot and then I saw you and Lola-"

A deep frown made way to his lips as he looked at me with sorrow.
