Boss (GBD)

Bailey's POV
"I'm sorry Bailey."

"For what?"

"You looked kind of upset the other day when you left my office. Did I do something to offend you?"

"Oh no, it's just that- I wanted to spend some time with you but you have your trip with Ethan and you guys said assistants usually don't go."

"Do you want to go?"

"No no, I just want you to focus on work, I don't need to distract you."

"Are you sure?" He grabs my hands from across the table and starts rubbing the top of them.

"Yeah, I'll just stay home."

"You're coming."

"No Grayson, don't make me."

"C'mon I feel bad, just come."

"No, I don't need you feeling bad for me. I'm not bothering you and Ethan."

—

"Grayson! Stop!"

"Come on, our plane leaves in 5 hours."

"5 hours! Why are you bothering me now?!"

"We have to go get Ethan and you know how long getting through security takes." He grabs my arm and pulls me out of bed.

"Wait, how did I get here?"

"You slept over so we could leave faster."

"Are you sure about that?" I say with a smirk.

"Fine, I just wanted you to sleep over."

"That's right baby." I kiss his cheek and I finally get up.

"Jessica knows I'm leaving and she said she would kill you if you did anything to me."

"Noted."

"So, where are we going?"

"Florida."

"Florida!?"

"Yeah, did you pack a bathing suit?"

"Of course I did, I love pools."

"Well, I'm excited to see you in one." I blush to myself and I walk up to clean myself up.

—

"Ethan, can I please have your salted cashews?"

"Why, you have yours."

"Meanie, fine whatever." I look back towards the tv in the chair and I cross my arms.

"Do you want mine baby?"

"No thanks, I wanted to save it for your ice cream later."

"Just take it."

"Well if you insist." I grab his cashews and I rip open the bag.

"Thank you, I love you."

"What?" I look at him and I regret what I just said.

"I-I mean I l-love these cashews so much, thank you." I crunch on them a little harshly and I unbuckle my seatbelt.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom." Before he could say anything, I got up and left.

I get into the bathroom and I take out my phone. I dial Jessica's number and I pace through the cramped bathroom area.

She finally picks up and I sigh in relief.

"Jessica you need to help me, so I'm on the plane with Grayson and Ethan and the people gave us cashews. I ate mine so I asked Ethan for his, he said no and Grayson let me have his. I guess it just slipped and I said 'I love you' to him. He reacted kind of questionably so I fled into the bathroom where I'm calling you right now." I let out a huge breath and start rubbing my head.

"Well, hello to you too."

"Sorry, hi Jessica."

"Hello Bailey, so I think you should just go back. You don't have to talk to him, just ignore him for a little and see how he handles it."

"Should I fake sleep or something?"

"That would be good."

"Sounds like a plan, thank you so much Jessica."

"I love you sweetie."

"Love you too."

I exit the bathroom and I go back to my seat. I buckle myself in and closed my eyes.

After a few minutes, I occasionally open my eyes slightly to look over at Grayson. I can see that he's looking at me, I saw him try to say something but his mouth just stayed shut.

His hand then hovered over my thigh and his fingertips slightly brushed over it.

He finally places his hand on my thigh and squeezes it a little.

"I love you too Bailey." He leans in for my cheek but I quickly turn my head so our lips touch.

I grab his face and I kiss him more.

"W-wait, were you awake the whole time?"

"Yeah, I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry for not saying it back earlier."

"It's ok, I totally understand."

We go quiet for a little before we hear someone talk our the loud speakers.

"We are now arriving in Florida, please buckle up and get ready for the land."

I tighten my buckle and I grab Grayson's hand.

He smiles at me and brings my hand up to his lips and kisses it.

The plane finally lands and everyone gets up to grab their bags. Grayson grabs mine for me and we walk out of first class.

"Hey Bailey, wait up!" I turn around and Ethan is standing behind me.

"What's up?"

"What went down? When you went to the bathroom, I checked on Grayson's and he seemed kind of slumped."

"Well, I accidentally told him that I loved him, when he didn't say it back I left."

"Oh, well did he?"

"Yeah."

"Oh that's great, you guys are the perfect couple."

"You think?"

"I know."

"You're the best Ethan, I don't know what I would do if you weren't there for me to talk to."

"I guess you'd just be sad." I laugh and we walk out of the plane to see Grayson waiting for us.

—

"Here's our room!" Grayson opens the door and lets me into a beautiful hotel room.

"I-uh, this is beautiful."

"Does your room always look like this on your trips?!"

"Always."

"Wow, you're just rolling in the money aren't you?"

"It looks like I do, doesn't it?"

"Snobby boy."

"I just like to show off."
