Love Drunk 3.0 (Completed)

Chapter 8

Atlantic Ocean 1 p.m.
Grayson POV -

Ethan fell asleep as soon as we boarded the plane. I hear David, Kian and a bunch of vlogsquad members looking for their seats and getting comfortable once they find their seats. Ava is sitting next to me, answering one email after the other, on her iPhone. "Are you gonna work during the entire flight?" I ask her teasingly, emphasising the word 'entire'. "Why you asking, Grayson? Do you want to have long and deep conversations?" She replies just as, if not even more, teasingly.. without looking up from her phone. Her answer makes me chuckle. "Nahh.." I say. "Ethan is the one wanting the long and deep conversations with you.." I chuckle, while pointing at a sleeping Ethan in the row behind us. This makes Ava actually look up from her phone. Her brown eyes look questioning. She licks her lips and it makes her dimples appear for a second. Her olive skin is flawless. Would it be weird to ask her about her skincare routine? Her voice pulls me back to reality. "Why would Ethan want long and deep conversations with me?" She asks, raising an eyebrow and scratching her chin. Her playing dumb makes me laugh. "Well.. I have no idea!" I say laughing and shrugging my shoulders, trying to play along with her innocence. Her expression changes and her eyes are now sharp. "No, really.." she says serious. "Why?" She asks. I look at her confused. "Wait.." I say. "Don't you know?" I ask Ava. I can tell she's getting frustrated with me, which funnily enough intrigues me. "Don't know what?" She asks me, leaning in out of curiosity. "Ethan had the biggest crush on you, ever since we were 7!" I tell her and the shock on her face gives away that she really had no idea. "How did you not know?" I now ask semi confused. "You were his first kiss!" I say a bit too loud, but Ethan seems to sleep through it all. "His first kiss?" Ava repeats after me as I take a sip of water. "We've never kissed!" She now says with a raised voice and I lock eyes with her. Water comes out of my nose and I burst out in laughter. I see drops of water, water that have been in my mouth and apparently in my nose, drip down Ava's face. Her lips are pressed together and so are her eyes. Trying to keep the water out. But a faint smile appears on her face as she still hears me laughing uncontrollably. "Wait.." I say again as I try to stop laughing. Ava is now wiping her face with her sleeve. "You are telling me.." I continue. "That you and E have never kissed." I say, trying to suppress another laughing fit. Her mascara is down to her cheeks and I can't help to think she reminds me of a raccoon. It's not helping me at all trying to stop laughing. "I am telling you! I have never kissed Ethan!" She stresses. I sit up and turn around to look at a sleeping Ethan. "That little lying fuck!" I breathe.

It's been 5 hours since this flight took off. Majority of the people on board are fast asleep. So is Ethan. He has been having a hard time falling asleep ever since y/n left. So he's been trying to get through the days by taking naps. I look over at him and hope with all my heart that he soon will be reunited with his other half. His other half that isn't me. That he will feel complete and at ease again. I turn back around, close my eyes and try to get comfortable in my seat when I hear Ava, sneezing next to me. "Bless you.." I say before I look over to her. The black mascara streaks are still on her face and it looks like she smudged it even more in her sleep. I bite my lower lip to stop myself from bursting out in a hysterical laughter. "What?" She says fiercely as she catches me staring at her. I shake my head and quickly blink my eyes in an attempt to look serious. "Nothing.." I breathe as I turn my head the other way. David and I lock eyes. He gets up and walks over to me. "They are at the O2 arena in London." David says. "Shawn Mendes posted on Snapchat and Instagram. Y/n is in both posts." He says. "Fuck yes!" I say enthusiastically. "We are gonna find her!" I add determined. And this is the first time I actually feel confident about finding y/n. I look at the pics on David's phone when I all of a sudden hear him say: "Jesus Christ! What happened to your face?". And Ava looks up. That's it! Seeing that confused look on her face with those raccoon eyes is what pushes me over the edge and I, again, burst out in laughter. She quickly reaches for a compact mirror in her purse and opens it in front of her eyes. Her jaw drops as soon as she sees the black marks all the way down to her chin. She slowly turns her head towards me and her eyes shoot fire. "You.. dickhead!" She breathes in my direction.
