31|"i missed you so much"

| Iris |

It was 3:30 PM, I'm hella early. But, better to be early than late.

I sat in one of the seats right by the terminal Ethan told me he'd be exiting.

I was definitely going to tell him about the way Nate approached me. How the fuck do you assault someone and then greet them with a smile? I still don't have an apology from that douche.

Thinking of him makes my small fists clench.

I got so lost in my thoughts I didn't even realize how much time has passed. People from Ethan's flight were already coming out.

"Oh shit," I mutter to myself as I checked the time. It read '5:06'.

I stood up and rubbed my hands on my thighs while letting out a deep breath.

More and more people kept coming out the gate, none were Ethan.

I tapped my leg fast, I was anxious.

Then, I saw a face that belonged to him, oh shit, nevermind. It's just Grayson. But, that means Ethan is near.

Then, I actually did see Ethan.

Ethan was wearing a white sweatshirt with black adidas sweats and Nike sneakers. He was rolling a black luggage behind him.

Ethan was eyeing all the people in the airport looking for me. His eyes then connected with mine.

An instant smile formed on both of our faces.

I sprinted towards him, not even thinking. I just needed to feel his touch.

Ethan opened his arms wide and I jumped in them.

My legs wrapped around his waist while his arms hugged my back. My arms attached to the back of his neck. Both of our heads rested in each other's crook of our necks.

Ethan spun me around like we were in a romantic movie and their reuniting.

"Baby, I missed you so much," Ethan whispered in my ear.

An immediate warm smile appeared on my face, but he couldn't see. My face was hidden in the crook of neck.

"Is that Iris?" A female voice that I couldn't recognize said.

Ethan let me back onto the floor, but his arm was around my shoulder.

What stood before me was something I haven't seen in years. The whole Dolan family. I was 6 last time I had a conversated with Mr. and Mrs. Dolan.

I gave them all a warming smile, "Yes it is!"

Mrs. Dolan gasped and opened her arms up and hugged me.

She let go of me and admired my face, "Oh my! You're so beautiful! You grew up so much! Never in a million years I would expect you and Ethan to be together!" She said pointing at the both of us.

"Growing up you and Grayson only talked. Honestly I thought you guys were going to date when you got older. I was very wrong!" Mrs. Dolan laughed.

Grayson chimed in, "Oh no, Mom. Iris is one of my best friends."

Mr. Dolan is a little shy, but he joined in on the conversation, "Yeah, how did you guys all of a sudden start talking... and well... dating?"

Ethan looked down at me and widened his eyes. His parents don't know they always throw parties. Their always at work so they wouldn't know much.

Ethan was staring into my eyes, smirking, as he explained a fake lie to his parents, "Well, one day, Iris was on a run. And, her being a clutz, she ate crap. I was out getting the mail, and I ran over and helped her up. Then, we started talking and here we are." He raised his eyebrows at me.

I licked my lips and elbowed his side.

"Yup!" I fake laughed.

Cameron and Grayson both rolled their eyes knowing that it was complete bull shit, but the parents bought it.

"Well, we'll let you two sweet hearts go. Don't have too much fun!" Mrs. Dolan hollered out already walking away.

Grayson gave me a quick hug and then they left.

Now, it was just me and Ethan.

We held hands and I was looking down fiddling with his fingers.

Ethan took his hand out of my grip and placed his finger tips under my chin, making me look up at him.

He went down and placed a perfect kiss on my lips in the middle of the airport.

Fuck, I miss this so much.

I cupped his face in my hands and kissed him with passion. I wanted to just makeout with him all damn day.

But, he ended the kiss and looked at me with sad eyes while rubbing my cheek with his thumb. His touch made me feel safe.

Ethan licked his lips, "Back to your place?"

I grin and nod, "I just went grocery shopping so, I'll make you a homeade dinner!"

Ethan smiles brightens my eyes and he squeezed me into another hug.

The both of us walked out of the airport with our fingers interlocked. We acted as if nothing happened while he was away.
