Thirty-Three

Rayna's POV

I laid next to Brendon in my bed and let out a sigh of relief. I missed Brendon so much. He meant more to me than anyone would think, even though we had only known each other for a short amount of time. After some time, I rolled over and grabbed my phone, and then recoiled back to my position. I was so warm and cozy next to Brendon's half-naked body. I rested my head on his bare shoulder and scrolled through my phone as he played with my hair. I realised I'd left Priya on a weird note, and decided to message her and update her.

Rayna: Hey, babe. I'm sorry I was odd the other day on the phone.

Priya: It's all good. How are things?

Rayna: Good. So good, in fact, Brendon is here.

Priya: NO WAY!? What happened? Did you make up? Tell me everything!

Rayna: I'll tell you over dinner tonight. Come stay the night.

Priya: Yep! Be there at 6!

I smiled at her response and then went to Instagram. I scrolled for a bit and then sighed, giving up on social media for the moment, there was nothing new going on. "Hey, Rayna?" Brendon asked, clearing his throat. "Mhm?" I said, looking up at him and pressing a kiss to his shoulder. "Uh, I was just wondering, what are we now?" He asked, stuttering a little bit. I pondered on the question at hand and sat up a little more. "Whatever you want us to be. You make me happy, but your happiness is all I care for." I admitted, running my hand over his arm. He blushed and smiled at me, then leaned forward and pecked my lips. "For the second time, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked cheekily. "Of course." I said, giggling and pressing my lips to his multiple times.

I pulled away from Brendon after a moment and got up, throwing my shirt back on. I checked the time and noticed I had 3 hours before Priya would show up, so I quickly gathered up some clean clothes and walked to my en suite. "I'm going to shower because Priya is coming over for the night." I said to Brendon as I grabbed a towel.

I got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around my body and started doing my routine- deodorant, perfume, clothes, hair, then makeup. I put minimal effort in to my hair and makeup, but I still put a little on just to make myself feel better. I walked out of the bathroom and found a note on my freshly made bed.

I went home while you were showering. Thank you for accepting my apology, I missed you so much. I love you, Rayna. Don't forget that. -Brendon

I put the note on my desk and smiled. I was so whipped. I've never had feelings like this before. I continued to clean up my room a little, and put my clothes in my laundry hamper. I noticed Brendon had left one of his rings behind, so I picked it up and slid it gently on my middle finger. It fit perfectly, so I decided to keep it on until I saw him next.

The doorbell rang and I instantly ran to the front door, and flung it open. "AHH PREE!" I squealed, excited to see my best friend. She laughed and ran towards me, hugging me. "How've you been?" I asked as we walked to my room. "Oh amazing. Jessica and I are going so strong, and everything just feels perfect." She said, and I saw a glint in her eye when she mentioned her girlfriend. I smiled and felt the heat rush to my cheeks. I knew the exact way she felt, because I felt that with Brendon. "Now. Spill the beans about you and Brendon." She said, waiting patiently for me to start talking. "Oh god. Okay. So he came over earlier and he was like, 'can I come in please', so I let him in, and he started talking about how he misses me and loves me, and I told him that I thought it and I believe that everything happens for a reason, and if that hadn't have happened, I may not even know him. I told him I missed him too, and then we both cried a bit and then I kissed him, and that kiss lead to... well, things..." I explained, heat rushing to my cheeks.

"Wait what!? So that wasn't the first time you two.. you know?" Priya exclaimed, her jaw dropped to the floor. "Shh! No, it was only the second time but it's not a big deal!" I said, giggling and waving my hands around. "Oh my god, why didn't you tell me the first time!" She said, shocked. "Because it's personal!" I said, laughing harder. "So!? We are best friends!" She said jokingly and leaned her head on my shoulder. I laughed along with her and thought about how perfect things were right now- I had my best friend, she had her girlfriend, I had the apprenticeship, and I had my amazing boyfriend back. Everything was just right.

A/N: hey y'all I am so sorry the updates have been slack. I missed writing so much. Lots of love,
