The fall season is officially here. Sure September what, 21st was really the first day, but it doesn't REALLY feel like fall until the first or second week of October.

Ever since I was little my mom and I would go back to Canada to celebrate Canadian thanksgiving. The past few years I had gone alone to see my grandma and other family since my mom died. We'd celebrate and I'd stay there for a few weeks then go back to California.

This year I had planned on asking Ethan to come with me since we've been dating for about 5 and a half months. It takes me a lot to bring a guy home since I haven't ever really loved anyone, well, anyone except Ethan. He means the world to me. He has treated me like a queen, especially through our difficulties we've always been there for each other and I hope we always will. Even if we don't end up together.

Since I need to book a flight for next week, I need to ask Ethan soon. I had been working up the courage to do this for a week now and I can't seem to do it. No, I'm not afraid of rejection but the fact that he might not be ready. At least I'll know where he's at with our relationship, I mean we haven't really talked about it in a while and that scares me. All it's been for the past few weeks is:
Wake up
Go to work
Go to Ethan's or my place
Watch a movie/film videos
Sleep

Over and over. He hasn't even really touched me in weeks which is unlike him. Yes, Ethan means the world to me and I love him so much but, we haven't really had a good conversation in a while. I know he loves me but this feeling is all to familiar and I feel like him coming to Canada with me will give us a boost to where we were before. That's why I'd ask him today.

"Morning Grayson." I said as I walked into the kitchen to Grayson standing at the stove.

"Good morning baby." I smiled as I walked over and kissed Ethan on the cheek as he sat at the kitchen table reading his phone.

"Morning Bella." They both said.

I made myself a coffee and sat down next to Ethan.

"So Canadian thanksgiving is coming up..." Ethan looked at me as I said that.

"I'm going back to Canada for a few weeks." I smiled.

"A few weeks?" Ethan looked worried and disappointed.

"Yes. That's why I wanted to ask if you wanted to come with me!"

Ethan looked at Grayson who had a 'you should go' look on his face and then looked back at me.

"I need to check what I have. When are you leaving and coming back?" He said.

"I didn't book my flight yet, but I'll probably leave next Thursday the 4th and come back the 16th." I took a sip from my coffee.

"Okay." He said sighing.

"If you're worried about filming, Grayson can come too, so can James and Emma! Actually I'd love that!" I smiled.

Deep down inside I wanted it to be just me and Ethan, but what could I do? At least I'll be able to see my family.

His mood lightened up. Grayson turned around and smiled.

"Really? Are you sure?" His eyes widened as he said that.

"Yes. I'd love for you guys to come and see where I'm really from and meet my family!" I smiled.

All I need from this is to get that connection back. I just need to talk to Ethan.

"Alright. You in Gray?" Ethan said giving in.

A smile planted on Grayson's face.

"Let's book a flight to Canada!" Grayson yelled in excitement.

"James and Emma are in!" Ethan said as he walked into his bedroom, with me sitting on his bed. I was answering work emails. Things had gotten a lot less busy with having more employees and things being all finished.

"That's great!" I smiled.

Ethan sat down on the bed next to me.

"Whatcha doin?" He looked over at my laptop.

"Answering stupid work emails." I was annoyed.

"Oh. Do you want me to get you anything?" He said.

"Actually, can we go out for lunch?"

"Sure. I'll go tell Grayson to get ready."

Of course

"Actually Ethan, can we go just us? I mean I love Grayson but I need some alone time with you." I said nervously.

"Oh uh sure." And with that he walked out of the room without hesitation.
