"Why did I agree to this again?" I asked Grayson again on the phone a few days later.

Ethans face never left my mind that day from the beach. The way he looked at me, the way he said my name.

"Because you want to move on and for us to go back to being friends again, That's why." He reminded me.

"I'm coming to drag you by your hijab at 2." He said and I giggled.

"Okay hijab snatcher, I'll see you then." He chuckled.

"Wait!" I said before he hung up.

"Yeah?"

"What did he say?" I asked.

"Ethan? What did he say about what?" He sounded clueless.

"When you told him I was coming over, dick face?"

"Oh, about that-"

"You didn't tell him!" I cut him off.

"I-"

"Grayson I'm not coming anymore!" I got up and raced into my bedroom and got into my bed.

"Yes you are!" He yelled.

"Too late. I'm in my bed." I told him.

"Well then, I'll just have to get in bed with you then." He said making us both laugh.

"When did you get so dirty Gray?"

"Wasn't I always?" We both laughed again. Gosh I've missed him.

"Please come Malika. I want things to go back to the way they were, well at least for us two though." He clarified.

"Okay. Fine. I will. You're not really giving me much of a choice." I smiled.

"Hello dog face." I greeted Grayson munching on a sneakers bar when I got into his car.

"Hello gorgeous, Ive missed you." He said puckering his lips.

"Fuck off." I pushed his face away and felt the stubble on his check on my palm. We both laughed.

"You need to admit that you've missed me." He said. His hair had gotten a lot longer and it fell to the side of his face. He was a whole lot larger than I last remembered, his biceps were very prominent through his shirt.

Grayson snatched the sneakers bar out of my grip and took a massive bite out of it.

"Hey!" I yelled and grabbed it back. "Good to know you're still annoying ."

"You've grow." I smirked at him.

"You've changed." He replied. "Is that a nose ring?"

"Yes dummy."

"You wear makeup now?"

"Yes."

"I like it. It makes you seem edgy." He said nodding while looking at me and I giggled.

"You are one strange guy grayson." I said and he took it as a compliment.

The drive was surprisingly short, their apartment was a whole lot closer than I anticipated. Grayson and I spent the time catching up and talking about their videos.
