Chapter 11

Mia's POV

We got back at 11pm and we were all dead tired. Today was absolute bliss for me..

We all jumped quickly into our PJs and said our goodnight, but I couldn't fall asleep.

Honestly, I'd miss this place. I'd miss its uniqueness and antic settings. Its home-ish feeling and it's warm and cozy atmosphere... I'm stuck between being happy and sad. I'm mostly sad because I would be leaving this place. This place that holds so much memories for me, and then there's Greg...

I looked beside me and saw his eyes tightly shut and his mouth slightly open, snoring lightly. He looks like an angel right now. I looked at him for many minutes. Memorizing every inch of him as I could. I would miss those eyes. Those soulful and deep chocolate brown eyes. I would miss his curly unruly hair and how it sticks to his forehead. I would miss that pointy nose that nuzzle my neck when he hugs me from behind. I would miss those lips that mutters my name in his sleep. I have never liked my name before, but I loved it when he says it. He calls me with so much gentleness and care. Those lips that I kiss goodnight. Those lips that form that cute cheeky grin. I would miss his goofiness, even his pervertedness. I would miss everything about him.

Ugh, here am I sounding like we'll never see each other again. It's so pathetic.

I finally fell asleep around 1am, but it was restless. I'm so worried that my parents would never accept Greg. That they'll keep us apart, but I won't let that ever happen...

I woke up with the sun streaming down my face. I turned and saw an empty space beside me. Did they already left? Oh no..

I got up quickly and raced down to the kitchen, not caring if my hair was like a bird nest or that I haven't even showered yet. I exhaled relieved to see all the bags of the Feders were still by the stairs. I looked to the kitchen and saw everyone staring at me.

"Good morning.." I muttered and shyly smiled. Greg got up and went to my side.

"What is it, babe?" He asked tenderly.

"I thought you left already..."

"I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye to you." He assured.

I smiled and told him I was gonna head back up and shower. Once I was done with that, I went back downstairs only to find my parents standing by the door.

"Mom? Dad?" I called out.

"Hey, sweetie." Mom smiled. Wait, my mom smiled? And she didn't have her phone glued to her ear and she dressed casually this time. She looked carefree and..young. She looked like her old self again before she had her big promotion.

"Hey, bud." My dad said. Bud? He hasn't called me 'Bud' since three years ago... What changed between them?

"Hey... How are you?" I asked awkwardly. I didn't go near them or even hug or kiss them. I wasn't used to that. Not anymore.

"We're good. The cruise helped us relax more.." Mom explained.

"Great..." I muttered. Not knowing what to say in this situation. Apparently, so does my parents when they coughed loudly and greeted the adults.

"Lenny! Look at you. All grown up. The last time I saw you, you had no body fat. Just plain bones." My mom joked.

"Well, that's what happen when you get old." Lenny laughed. "Look at you, looking even younger than before."
