Exhale - Sabrina Carpenter

31

After a long flight, they finally land. Sabrina already texted James and told Sarah he is going to pick them up and notified her 'bodyguards.'

They are all walking out of the plane and into the airport. A few paparazzi are there but are quickly ushered away.

Sabrina catches up to Jenny and walks next to her.

"You wanna hang?" Sabrina asks her as they collect their baggage.

"Sure." Jenny replies.

"I'm gonna introduce you to my friend Griffin."

Jenny raises her eyebrows. "Oh wow okay." She smiles.

Sarah walks up to her. "You really think this is gonna work?" She asks her as they make their way to the exit.

"It's worth a shot." She shrugs.

"Sabrina!"

She looks up and sees James standing near the door, grinning.

Sabrina runs up to him in excitement and they embrace. She wraps her arms around his neck and his arms around her waist, lifting her off the ground slightly. They kiss.

"Missed you." James mumbles into her hair.

"Missed you too." She replies, grinning and pulling away.

So she does have a boyfriend. Jenny thinks to herself. She has heard rumors about Sabrina and boyfriends but never really payed attention.

Sabrina beckons Jenny and Griffin over. They both walk over to her.

"Griff, this is Jenny, Jenny, Griffin." She says.

Griffins eyes light up when he sees her and he smiles, and Jenny blushes and smiles.

She's pretty. He thinks.

Sabrina walks away to let them talk on their own, which they do.

"What's going on?" James whispers in Sabrina's ear, confused.

"I'll fill you in in bed tonight." She smirks. James smirks too, and slips his hand in hers. Sabrina smiles and they all walk out to James car, except for Griffin and Jenny, Griffin walks her to her car.

"Sabrina I made reservations for us at Papilles, a French restaurant, tomorrow, if that's okay with you?" James says to Sabrina. They are in Sabrina's back yard, playing with Goodwin.

Sabrina smiles. "That sounds perfect."

James smirks. "And, you'll get your surprise there."

Sabrina's eyes light up. She moves closer to him as Goodwin jumps up trying to get the toy from Sabrina.

"Then maybe after we can go back to your house and I can play with your di-"

"BARK." Goodwin barks, interrupting her. He is still trying to get the toy.

Sabrina and James both laugh.

"Play with your di-"

"BARK!"

"With your-"

"BAAAARK!"

Sabrina and James both laugh again. Sabrina throws the ball across the yard and Goodwin quickly chases it.

"You know what I mean." Sabrina smirks, pushing James to a laying position on the grass. James grins and Sabrina lays on top of him, connecting their lips.

Suddenly Goodwin comes charging at them with the ball in his mouth. He wiggles in between Sabrina and James making them pull apart.

"Goodwin!" Sabrina laughs and James smirks. They both laugh and Sabrina picks up Goodwin and sits in James's lap.

He runs his hands up and down Sabrina's waist and torso as she pets Goodwin. James burrows his head in Sabrina's neck and leaves small kisses there. Sabrina grins.

Sabrina picks up her phone as she receives a text from Jenny. She got one from Griffin too which she will check after.

Jenny: hey Sabrina. Just wanted to say thank you so much for introducing me to Griffin, he's amazing. I really like him.

Sabrina: glad to hear it! Just thank me at your wedding 😂

Jenny: lmao I will 😂

She exits out of Jenny's contact and checks Griffin's text.

Griffin: thanks for introducing me to Jenny, she's super nice and I really like her

Sabrina: no problem Griff!

Griffin: at first I was jealous. You and James are so happy together and so good together, and I wanted a relationship like that, and now that I may have a chance at something like that, I can't thank you enough

Sabrina: aw, don't mention it, you're a great guy and you deserve it!

Griffin: well, I gtg, thanks again!

Sabrina smiles to herself. She's proud of herself for thinking up this plan. She loves playing matchmaker.

She is sitting in the living room on the couch. She and James are the only ones at home, they have to take care of Goodwin while everyone else is out.

James enters the room carrying two plates of food.

"I made you mac and cheese." James grins at her.

Sabrina smirks. "You made me your favorite food." She laughs, taking the plate. James plops down next to her.

He smirks. "Oh don't act like you don't love it too." He laughs.

Sabrina smirks. "That's true I do." She laughs.

As they eat, Sabrina switches on Netflix and they watch Prank Encounters with the kid from Stranger things, Gaten Mattarrazo.

"That's so mean." James exclaims at the tv as they watch someone pretend to fall off of a balcony.

Sabrina nods in agreement. "Right! Why would you joke about that!"

They both shake their heads and Sabrina turns off the show. They are both finished eating and they stand up.

Suddenly Sabrina jumps up onto James back and wraps her arms and legs around him.

"Carry me upstairs to my room so I can suck your di-"

"BARK BARK BARK!" Goodwin comes running into the living room and looks at them.

"Okay what's with you and that word!" Sabrina exclaims, and her and James start laughing.

James runs upstairs to her room with Sabrina on his back. Sabrina shuts the door with her foot and jumps onto the bed.

"Now I can say it." She giggles, pulling down his pants and boxers.

"I'm gonna suck your dick." She says and does as she says.
