Moving on - g.d

T e n

Returning to my hotel room that night, I stared at myself in the mirror, after the vast amount of food I had consumed that day, I was undeniably bloated, however, it was in a way that didn't make me look fat, and therefore, I smiled at my reflection, I looked healthy.

The shoot didn't start until the next day and therefore I decided to relax in bed all night and dedicating my time to self care which I had realised, was something that I never did enough.
I smeared on a thick layer of face mask and turned on my TV, ready to get stuck into any American reality TV, such as America's next top model or keeping up with the Kardashians. I personally saw it as trash TV but it was the best kind of show.

I was getting engulfed into Tyra Bank's modelling tips when there was a knock of my door. My immediate action was a long, aggravated groan, who was here at this time? I hadn't ordered room service and Jack had told me that he wouldn't bother me for the night. Contemplating as to whether I should ignore them, they knocked on the door again- louder.

With a huff, I pushed myself from the bed and marched over to the door, less than impressed with whoever was on the other side of the door.

Swinging open the door, I was greeted with none other that my boyfriend. Grayson stood before me with his effortlessly windswept hair, his chiselled jawline, everything, was stood before me. Not saying a word, I jumped into his arms, wrapping my arms and legs around him like a monkey holding a tree.
"What are you doing here?" I asked happily, a large grin gracing my face.

"Well, first of all, I wanted to surprise you, because I knew for a fact that you wouldn't expect this, and I heard on the news about you going to IHOP and I was surprised but extremely proud of you." He smiled, before slowly lifting up my top, staring at my stomach with wide, excited eyes. "Gosh! How have you got you to look so healthy and perfect?" He asked as I giggled. I hated giggling but somehow Grayson always managed to receive one.

"Calm down, it's only bloated, it'll go back down after the shoot most likely, but that doesn't mean I want to stay how I was. I quite like being a bit more 'full'. I want to be healthy again." I told him and by the look on his face, it seemed like the best thing I could ever say to him.
"That's amazing! I'm so happy!" He laughed, spinning me round until a voice spoke up and broke the moment.

"That's exactly what I was waiting to here."
My head whipped round to be staring at Ethan with an even bigger grin. Thankfully, Gray put me and down and I ran straight into the arms of my best friend.
"I missed you and it's only been a day." He murmured and he held me close and protectively. The familiarity of his embrace caused tears to spill down my face.
"I missed you too..." I whispered, laughing at how pathetic I was acting right now.

With a smile, I pulled away and looked at the both of them, "Right, I'm gonna wash this off of my face, then we're all watching a film together just like we used to." I told them as they both held their hands up in surrender and nodded.

With a small squeal of excitement, I ran into the bathroom, washing off my face mask and applying moisturiser before jumping on both the twins who were laying on my bed.
"What film?" I asked excitedly, pulling up Netflix on the tv and flicking through the movies.

"Let's watch Clueless, you really like that one and I don't mind as long as we get to spend time with you." Ethan smiled softly, wrapping his arm around me, earning himself a jaw tense from my boyfriend that he didn't seem to notice.

I knew Gray was mad at Ethan for doing it but I didn't have the heart to shrug his arm away. I'd only just got Ethan back and I wasn't prepared to lose him again. Leaning close to Gray, I whispered in his ear.
"Don't worry, we're just friends babe. I love you and only you."
Eyes softening, he smiled at me, "I know, but he better remember." He replied, placing his hand on my thigh as though claiming me his own.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Ethan glance at his twin's hand, and I saw him bite the inside of his cheek to stop himself from speaking up. I couldn't help but realise I was glad about this, he didn't really have a right to, he was only my best friend, not my boyfriend.

During the film, I started to quote parts, making both the twins smile. I looked at the both of them and couldn't help but realise that I had missed the both of them in the short hours that I'd been parted from them. They had such a big impact on my life that it was honestly quite scary.

Both of the twins hadn't moved since the film started so I was still held by Ethan and claimed by Grayson and I could honestly say I had never felt more safe. Sure, there was tension between them but I know that they'd never fall out properly, they were too close and I was glad about that. I was also touched at their actions, they had travelled so far just to see me a couple of hours after I had left. I loved them both. A lot.
