My Journey

Pre-Work Out

11/09/2017

Today was the day.... I am going to work out with Ethan and Grayson. I don't know what they're gonna make me do, but I do know that they are gonna make me work my butt off. I am not gonna be able to move my body when I go back to Spain... I don't even know why I agreed to do this, I knew what I was getting myself into...
Ethaaaan are you ready for tonight?
Me obviously not
Ethaaaan why?
By the way I've managed to convince Gray to let me go out you wherever you want to
Me why did you do that?
Ethaaaan you don't want to?
Me of course I do
But you both can't go a long time with out each other and I feel bad for him
Ethaaaan true
But he isn't the person that will most likely end up being my girlfriend
That's you
Me aaawww
So sweet
Okay I agree
Where do you wanna go?
Ethaaaan didn't you read one of my first texts, you idiot?
Me yes, of course I did you knobend
Ethaaaan hey that's offensive
Careful with my heart
Me okay I decide where we go
But if you don't like the place I want it won't be my fault
Ethaaaan deal
I'll go pick you up now
Me alright see ya ☺

I didn't really trust Ethan when he said he convinced Grayson to go out with me, I wanna see if it's true.

Me hey Gray!
Grayy hey what's up
Me nothing much
One thing
Did ethan told you about going out with me today? Now?
Grayy no why?
Me just slap him on the back of his head for me please thanks
Grayy why would I do that?
Me just do it
If he goes to hit you back tell him it was me
Grayy okay....

Ethan's POV
"Graaaayy!"
"Yeah?" He said coming out of the room.
"I'm going out with Alba." As soon as I said that he came closer to me and slapped me on the back of my neck. "What the fuck, bro?" I went to slap too, but he grabbed my wrist.
"Alba asked me to do it. You didn't convince me to let you go with her."
"I know, you wouldn't have let me otherwise." I said as I hit him in the stomach with my other hand. "Bye Gray!"
"Wait, what am I gonna do?" Too late, I had already walked out.
When I got in my truck I started thinking. I started thinking about what my mom said before we left New Jersey: 'I like her. Keep her.', she hasn't said that about any of the girls I had brought home and she only knows her from 6 days, as we were constantly out and about and she was working. To be fair Alba is quite an interesting girl. She's crazy, but sweet and loving. That's something I haven't found in a girl so far, and I am loving it from her. She's gorgeous too, those deep green eyes, perfect smile... What else can you ask for? I mean that as- personality. She has a great personality. Yeah. And every time I see her I can't help but wanting to kiss her so bad. I don't know what she's doing to me, but since our trip to New Jersey we've become even more comfortable around each other. She's just incredible. No other word could describe her. Thinking about all of this made my trip to hers shorter and quicker. I grabbed my phone from the passenger seat and called her.
"Hey E, are you here already?" She asked
"Yeah, I'm in my car. You coming?"
"Yeah, on my way."
"Quick, I want to kiss you now."
"Alright E... Calm down, I'm getting out of my apartment."
"Alright, bye. Be quick."
"Sure." And she hangs up. How dare she?
I get out of the car because she 100% isn't out of her apartment. She's a liar, a bad liar.
And I was right, two minutes have passed and I'm just waiting next to my car, on my phone.

Alba's POV
I see him. There he is, on his phone. His not looking towards me. Time for revenge. Time for a jump scare.
His car was right in front of the entrance to my complex so I decided to go to the other side of the car so if Ethan looked to see if I'm getting out he won't see me. Don't wanna ruin the surprise. When I was passed the door I quickly ran to him as he was checking if I was there and jumped on his back.
"FUCK!" He screamed as he grabbed my legs so I wouldn't fall to the ground, almost throwing his phone to the floor.
"I did it!" I said as he let me go and put me in the ground.
"Why did you do that? You greet me like this when we haven't seen each other since we came from New Jersey." Ethan said as he turned around.
"I needed revenge."
"For what?" He said annoyed.
"At the beach... You wouldn't let me down... Does that ring any bells?"
"Nah, not really..." He said ironically.
"You dick!" I started to hit him and he grabbed my arm pulling me to him and kissing me. "Now you have what you wanted." I said as we pulled away.
"Yeah, and I'm not mad." He said before a little pause, but we were still looking at each other.
"I can't get over how good your hair looks like that. It gives such 2015 vibes." I said as I touched the back of his head. "But I felt you were gonna let it grow back. Maybe not get the strand of coloured hair, but grow it out at least."
"Takes twice as long to take care of, I like it better shorter."
"As you will. Shall we go now?"
"Yeah." He said as we went to sit in the car. "Where do you wanna go?"
"I don't know. I haven't really thought about it. Oh wait! I have never been to the Santa Monica Pier."
"Really? It's a bit less than an hour away tough."
"You like adventures, I like adventures. Why not go on one just us both?" I said looking at him with puppy eyes.
"Don't look at me like that." He said as he started the car and looked at me. He didn't start driving yet.
"Why not?" I said getting closer and leaning on the middle part from between our seats.
"Stop!" He said throwing his head back.
"Do you wanna go?" I said putting one of my hands on his thigh. "Come on, it'll be cool."
"Uhg, okay. We'll go. But we won't be able to stay for a very long time. Grayson slapped me in back on my head and I feel like that is because we doesn't want to be alone for long." When he said that I started laughing and so did he.
"You know why he hit you. Don't lie."
"Yeah, because you told him to, which I don't appreciate."
"You lied to me! You said you convinced him to let you come with me!" I started to laugh again.
"I told you that.... I was gonna tell him anyways. But then he slapped me." He said as he started driving. "I was gonna hit him again but he stopped me and told me you asked him to hit me."
"I did tell him. Right after you said you were coming I texted him. I didn't trust you."
"Really? We need to have trust in this thing we got going on."
"Oh come on! What's more trust than going to the middle nowhere of New Jersey with out Gray or Cameron?" I said that and he looked at me from the corner of his eye and smirking. "Are you serious?!?!?! I wouldn't have trusted any of my siblings and then I trusted you."
"That's a different type of trust."
"Oh yeah? Sibling trust and?"
"Girl-ummm... More-than-friends trust." Did I just listen the beginning of girlfriend? I feel like I didn't, but I definitely did...
"Oh... Sure..." I said and just decided to ignore him for a little bit.
"Come on! Don't be mad, I know you trust me. And I trust you. And so do Cameron and Grayson. And my mom and dad. You've got my family on the bag." He looked at me but I was still ignoring him. "And you're the first girl." I turned to look at him.
"First girl?" I said surprised but confused.
"Yeah. You wouldn't be my first girlfriend, but you would be the first one that my mom has said 'I like her. Keep her'. And I'm pretty sure my dad feels the same way. I mean you guys teamed up on me."
"That was fun. Your parents are the best. I wish my mom could meet you..." I said as I looked down and put my elbow in the middle part between the seats.
"She is looking after you and in the future she'll also look after me too, us." After saying 'us' he grabbed my hand. I looked at him with eyes slightly filled with tears.
"Don't cry, I told you she will love you, your siblings and your dad forever." He said as he held my hand with a stronger grip, making me feel better.
"I know. I just can't help it." I said whipping the tears off my cheek.
"Alright. Wanna make a promise?"
"Depends on what it is about."
"Just listen. You won't cry ever again unless I do something horrible to you." He looked at me as we were now in a stoplight.
".....Okay. But only if you promise that too." I said looking back at him.
"Pf, deal. We can make it. You're the greatest girl I've ever met." He let go of my hand as he now had to have both hands on the wheel.
"I can say that about you too, you're the only guy that's given me this much support on my mom ever. Apart from Lucas and Mario, and you're really close to the support level they've given me."
"And I'm proud. I really care about you, Alba. And I plan on doing what my mom said. Keeping you close to me."

•••••••••••••••••

And we've arrived. The Santa Monica Pier. Of looks so stupidly cool, I can't wait to go in and do everything I can.
"Are you ready to smash this place?" Ethan said as we got out of the car, which we got so lucky to park as Ethan found a space right next to Pier.
"Is that even a question?" I said looking at him and giving him the 'are you serious' look. "Let's freaking do this thing, and if we find some haters, DAB ON 'EM!"
"Okay, okay.... That's enough roasting..." He said as he laughed, but deep down I know he felt the same way.
"Come, on. Let's go!" I said grabbing his hand and dragging him to the entrance.
"What do you want do go on or do first?"
"I don't know. Shall we start with some arcade stuff?" I suggested.
"You want a stuffed animal, don't you?"
"What makes you think that? Non sense..." I said ironically.
"Alright. And you want me to win it for you too, I'm guessing."
"If you insist..." When I said that he rolled his eyes and we started walking to the first arcade game we could see. It was your typical throwing a ball to some cans and try to knock them off. He grabbed those three balls given to him and sure enough he knocked all the cans. This gave me the freedom to choose the bigger stuffed animals, and I was not gonna complain.
"I think that deserves something..." He said opening his arms, so I did not think any of it. I went to him kissed him and hugged him.
"What a beautiful couple..." The guy from the parade said.
"Thanks, I know right?" He said wrapping his arm around my shoulder, looking down at me and smirking.
"Shut up..." I said grabbing his hand that was on my shoulder.
"Which one do you want?" The guy asked me.
"Uumm... That Simba one over there." I said and the guy took it down and gave it to me.
"Good choice young girl. Wish you the best, guys." He said as we waved and walked away.
"Byee!!" We both said going towards the fun place.
