CHAPTER 3: Settling In

Gabby's p.o.v:
The next morning...

I woke up bright and early, for a minute forgetting where I was. But by the view outside my window I remembered almost instantly. The palm trees swayed in the gentle sea breeze and I could see the sun beginning to rise over the water. It's was incredible! I turned and snatched my phone off the nightstand "6:14" lit up on the screen and I decided that I should wake up ella and we should go to the gym. I snapped a picture of the window view and opened my suitcase pulling out my workout gear as well as my earphones. I got dressed and put my phone and headphones on my bed. I decided to see if Ella was up because by now it was 6:30. To no surprise she's still asleep.
"You're kidding" I chuckle looking at her sprawled out over her bed. I run full speed at the bed and at last second leap on top of her
"WAKE UP DUDE!" I yell as I bounce on top of her. Ella startles awake before shoving me off.
"WHAT THE HELL GABBY! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME?!"
"Maybe." I  shrug with a smirk. She flips me off before laughing and sitting up in her bed
"Can you tell where we're going?" I ask. She groans, and I laugh before lifting her suitcase up and putting it on the bed, I quickly unzip the bag and rummage through it, ripping out her Nike leggings and a cut off tank top that's had the print "not a morning person" on it. I pulled out her Nike joggers that she always wore when we went to the gym and I threw it all on her bed (I left the underwear to her).
"There, I did all the hard work for you, now get your ass up we are leaving in ten minutes because later we're going grocery shopping" I said as I walked out of her room.
"Yay.", she said sarcastically. I walked into the kitchen and Ella got changed, she walked out, hair now in a messy ponytail, same as me. We grabbed the keys and walked out of the apartment, down the elevator and into the sunny streets of Los Angeles.

A few hours later...

Ella's p.o.v:
"I cannot....believe.... we actually ran.... 5.... freaking....miles" I said puffed out.
"It was good plus the workout" Gabby said breathily. We flopped onto the couch.
"Imma go have a shower!" I say jumping up and running to the bathroom before Gabby because I just knew she'd use up all the hot water.
"God damn Ella.. Alright, hurry up because I have to shower too and then we have to go to the store!"
"Okay." I said before closing the bathroom door.

Gabby's p.o.v:
Ella was singing as soon as she got in the shower belting out 'Mercy' by Shawn Mendez. I chuckled menacingly picking up my phone and taking a video of the bed sheet with her singing in the background . I laughed captioning it "no better way to wake up in LA" with a set of heart emojis and the laughing face. She came out wrapped in a towel hair still damp. With a bored tone she said
"Hurry up so we can get this shopping over and done with." "Agreed." I said and raced into the bathroom.
When I got out Ella was ready and I had gotten changed in the bathroom so I was ready too. We put on our shoes and Ella grabbed the keys.
"Are we FINALLY ready to go princess?" She huffed,
"yup" and off we went.

Ella's p.o.v:
We were driving to the store rocking out to the radio when I felt my tummy rumble, I was hungry (as always) and so I turned to Gabby "hey gab" she hummed letting me know she was listening "I'm hungry man"
"me too" she said as she let out a sigh and dramatically rubbed her tummy pulling a pained face.
"You look constipated dude" we burst out laughing and we decided after shopping we would go to a cafe we saw whilst driving there.

An hour later...
We were done shopping and were on our way to the cafe, it was cute and on a street corner near the pier, it was modern and definitely a place gabby and I could see ourselves chilling at on a usual basis.
"I'm really feeling this place" Gabby said as we sat in a booth and picked up our menus.
"Me too" I said with a warm smile. Gabby walked up to the counter and ordered for us, we went back to chatting about random stuff when Gabby out of the blue asked me
"hey did you get a text this morning?"
"Um, no? Should I have?" I shrugged confused. She smiled a small smile and her cheeks flushed a deep scarlet.
"Well.. I got a text from Ethan"
"OMIGOD REALLY!!" I said a little too loudly, she giggled and nodded her head showing me the message that read "morning gorgeous" she let out a little squeak as she looked at me, I slammed my hands down on the table
"god damn it Gabby, we've been here not even 2 days" I say laughing hysterically. She joins in on my laughter and it's then I notice someone else come through the door..
"Oh. My. God." I breath out.
"What's up with you?" Gabby asks me, frowning as she studies my expression. Two boys walked through the door, skateboards in hand. It was the twins from last night. Gabby finally caught on and followed my gaze, when she saw them I heard her gasp.
"oh." . They were mesmerising. The one with the long hair and purple stripe, Ethan. He had on a black tank top and ripped black jeans. Grayson... Grayson was looking hot as hell. He wore a black snapback with a white shirt that clung kinda tight to his toned body, khaki shorts and black skater style vans. He was smiling and messing around with Ethan- god I loved that smile.
"Holy hell they look good" I'm snapped out of my thoughts by gabby practically drooling over Ethan.
"We don't even know them gab" I say, my smile fading.
"I feel like that's about to change" she says nodding towards the boys. I turn back to them and it's then Grayson's eyes meet mine and I feel myself smile, he nudges Ethan, and Ethan looks straight at Gabby. They start to walk over when "GABBY! ORDER FOR A GABBY?" The barista calls. Gabby and I stand and that's when Ethan calls out
"Hey girls" him and Grayson swiftly coming up to us, we keep our composure..
"hey" gabby and I both say.
"That accent man" Grayson says chuckling "what's wrong with our accent" I say half serious
"nothing.... It's perfect", Ethan says sending gabby a wink and a smirk,
"smooooooooth" I say with a chuckle, both Ethan and Gabby blush and Grayson and I just look to each other holding back our laughs, within seconds we're all clutching our stomachs laughing and go grab our drinks, we begin to head back to the booth when we realise we're being followed. We sit and they sit in the booth with us, Ethan next to Gabby and Grayson next to me.
"You never answered our message" Ethan frowns looking at me then back at gabby
"sorry we went to bed" I say apologetically,
"it's cool" Ethan says with a warm smile.
"really we should hang out though" Grayson gushes. Before I can say anything gabby is already in
"sure, I'm down" she says beaming and looking back at me. "Um yeh" I say chuckling.
This should be interesting...
