Love Drunk (Completed)

Chapter 39

New Jersey 2 a.m.
Y/n POV -

The night sky is full of stars. I look at the main house from the guesthouse window. Lights are off in the main house and it seems like the world is fast asleep. Grayson is running me a bath. I walk into the bathroom and see a naked Grayson turning off the faucet. It's like I'm seeing him for the first time over and over again. He is perfect in every way and my heart feels electrified.

"The warm water will help with the soreness.." he says. He gets into the bath and sits up straight against the back of the bathtub. He reaches out his hand. "Get in.." he says kindly. I slowly lower myself into the bathtub and sit down between his legs. I lean with my back against his chest. The warm water relaxes my tense muscles. "It helps." I breathe. "Good.." he responds as he kisses the back of my head.

"I'm sorry." He continues. I sit up and turn around. "Gray.. stop it!" I say. "You're the best I've ever had, in every possible way. You being rough on me.. I need that, I want that!" I tell him. A faint smile appears on his face. "Okay." He says. "Now sit back and relax." He adds. I sit back and feel his strong hands on my stomach. I feel so safe and comfortable in his arms. He traces his fingers around my belly button and I tilt my head back to rest it on his chest. "When will I see you again?" He suddenly asks me. This question hits me like a ton of bricks. It closes up my air pipe and I feel a sudden sadness overwhelming me.

"I don't wanna be away from you.." Grayson continues. "Me neither.." I whisper. In 5 days I have a flight home. I mean, a flight to London. It doesn't feel like home anymore. Being here in Grayson's arms feels like home. "But I have to go to London." I tell Grayson. "I have to move out of Mike's and mine home." Our newly bought countryside home, I think to myself. "And my boss expects me back in the office again in a week." I add. "So that technically means we'll only be able to see each other when I fly to London, or you take time off from work and fly to L.A.?" He asks. "Technically.." I answer sadly.

"Yeah.. that's not gonna happen!" He all of a sudden says. I sit up and turn my head to see his face.  His jaw is clenched. He looks determined and confident. "I know it's soon.. but move to L.A... move in with Ethan and me." He says. My jaw drops. "You work in PR. It's a job you can easily find here if you don't want to work for us. And Ethan loves you!" His words float through my mind. Besides my family I have nothing that keeps me in London and my heart is in L.A. it's wherever Grayson is. Not so sure if Ethan would be happy about me moving in though.

"We really need to talk to Ethan about that.." I say. A huge smile appears on Grayson's face. "Is that a yes?!" He enthusiastically yells in my ear. "Yes.." I say smiling.
