The Future

Stay Right Here

I let out a breath, looking up at Scott. "It feels good to be back in LA," I commented.

"Oh yeah," he agreed, wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Maybe next time I'm here longer, you guys can show me the good sights," Kirstin said, smiling widely on my other side.

"I wish your layover was longer than an hour," I said, looking at my friend.

"Yeah, but what can we do," she replied, shrugging with a smile on her face. "Next time, though, okay?"

"I'm holding you to that," I replied, bumping my shoulder against hers.

"Mitchie?!"

I looked back over the crowd, my smile growing even bigger as I saw Kevin rushing towards me.

Squealing, I rushed towards him, wrapping him in a tight hug. "Oh, I missed you so much!" He cried, squashing me against his chest.

"I missed you too!" I replied, smiling widely.

"God, I was so worried when I saw the news," He said, pulling away to look at me. "Ralph is a psycho, and I am so glad you left him when you did."

"I am too," I replied. "Are you okay, though? Nothing happened, right?"

"Oh no, nothing," He told me, shaking his head. "I was fine. I was more worried about you."

I let out a sigh of relief. "Good, good." I wished I could talk to my best friend more, because I always missed him. But he didn't have international roaming, and even though I did, his bill would still be huge, and I wouldn't do that to him. We emailed when we could, but we were both so busy it wasn't like we emailed every day.

"Kevin, how's the job?" Scott asked, moving to us.

"Great!" He cried, beaming. "I got a promotion!"

"Yay!" I cried, hugging him tightly again.

"Congrats," Kirstin said, moving to Scott's other side.

Pulling away from me, he gasped. "Oh my god, it is so nice to meet you!" Kevin cried, looking at Kirstin. "I mean, I know Scott, but I never thought I would actually meet you too!"

Kirstin laughed, holding out her hand. "Well, any friend of Mitch's is a friend of mine."

"Oh, come here then!" Kevin exclaimed, hugging her tightly.

"Ah, it's official now, Kirstin," I told her, wrapping my arm around Scott's waist, his arm doing the same. "Once you get a Kevin hug, you're a part of the friend group forever. Or, well, until you die or piss him off."

Scott laughed as Kevin rolled his eyes, pulling away from Kirstin. "Now, when does your flight leave?" He asked.

"An hour," she told him.

"Well, that gives us all an hour to relax then," He said, pulling her towards the nearest fast food place.

Scott and I followed, Kirstin looking back at us. "No, you guys don't have to wait with me!" She cried.

"Too bad," Scott replied, making me laugh.

I laughed, sipping my wine as the chick flick played in the background, Kevin and I just really catching up.

"Oh, Todrick sounds perfect," I said.

"No, Todrick is a great boyfriend," He replied. "Scott is perfect! Like, does that man have any flaws?"

I blushed, shaking my head. "No, not that I've seen. And...I don't know..." I shifted slightly.

"Hey, you guys have only been together a year," He said, placing his hand on top of mine. "Some guys are just great inside and out, and it's hard to see something wrong with them. And that's okay."
