Recovery {wRoNg sequel}

02

Grayson's dark hair was wet and he was wearing a black wet suit, clutching a surf board under his arm.

"Malika!" He yelled and pulled me into his arms, my chin on his shoulder and his damp body wetting mine. I was still in shock that I didn't even return the hug, my brain was still trying to process what was happening. My heart was pounding. I totally forgot that my hijab wasn't on properly and I yanked it back up.

"What are you doing here? Oh my God!" He said pulling away with his hands on my shoulders he looked at me and then hugged me tight again. This time I hugged him back.

He pulled away and came into realisation of what he was doing.

"Sorry, I'm just so shocked to see you here." He said smiling from ear to ear.

"It's-it's okay." I stuttered and smiled weakly. "Uhhh, Oh My God grayson, you look so much bigger."

It was true. He looked much taller and he got more muscular than the last time I saw him, but then again that was almost 2 years ago.

"What are you doing here?" I asked stupidly clearly seeing he had a surfboard with him.

"We're here surfing." He said lifting his surf board proudly.

"Wait we?" I said hoping he was talking about someone other than who I hoped he was.

"Hey Grayson, who are you talking to?" A voice called out from behind us and I looked up at Grayson on fear. His eyes widened too like he was afraid of what was about to happen.

He emerged from behind Grayson figure also wearing a wet suit. His black hair was now shorter and pushed back.

Ethan.

My eyes met his familiar hazel eyes, the eyes that made me weak and do things I regretted. I took in his features and realised he hasn't changed a lot, apart from his hair. He had also gotten taller but his body figure was still similar. No one said anything, Ethan and I just stared at each other in shock.

"Mal." He finally spoke. His voice made me weak.

"E-ethan." My voice croaked.

"Uh." Sandra's voice popped up from behind me.

"Sandra!" Grayson said happily walking over and hugging her.

"It's nice to see you bud. How have you been?" She asked him and they continued on with their small talk.

Me and Ethan stood there still staring at each other, but not saying a word. My eyes slowly welled up with tears, but I blinked them away. He then turned and walked away in the other direction slowly, like he was thinking. A piece of me broke.

"Hello, earth to Malika." I heard Sandra say, she must've been calling me for a while.

"Huh." I said when I finally snapped out of it. It was like all the memories of Ethan and I were all flooding in at once. The way I felt and how much he made me happy. All by seeing that stupid face of his.

"Holy shit we have to catch up." Grayson said, he was totally oblivious that his brother has walked away. "Give me your phone right now!" He ordered and instead saw it in my bag and grabbed it.
