Matt's POV
I wake up with Gracie cuddling into my chest. I have to go home today, but what she doesn't know is that she's coming with me. I check the clock and it reads 3:49 am. My plane leaves at six, so I have to get Gracie up now. Hayes already packed her suitcase, so she will be able to leave with me right away. "Gracie!" I shake her awake. She stirs opening her big brown eyes that I've fallen in love with. "What do you want, moron?" She smirks at me.
"Well, that wasn't nice!" I say holding my hand over my heart. She kisses me and if course I kiss back. She readjusts, so she's straddling me. I lick her bottom lip demanding for entrance and she smirks and opens her mouth. Our tongues explore each other's mouths while she tugs my hair. I let out a quiet moan and she releases. Her lips inches from mine teasing me.
"I-I'm not ready, Matt. I'm sorry," she looks at the ground. A tear fell from her eyes and she sniffles. I feel badly. She's been a little uneasy since the whole thing with Cameron. I tip her chin up, so her eyes are locked on mine. I lean in and so does she. Our lips connect and we kiss and she tugs my hair again. I shove her against the wall and begin kissing down her neck. I don't plan to go that far yet. I want to see if we last. I have a feeling we will though. We've only fought once and that was the whole thing with Cameron and Trevor. Trevor. What if he wants her back? Oh well. I continue to kiss her neck.
"Matt!" She whines and I smirk against her neck. I find a soft spot and bite it a little. "Shit, Matt! We have an audience!" She shoves me off of her. I blush and see Nash. He's standing there with his arms across his chest. "We didn't plan to go that far," Nash nods and leaves the room.
"Shit, Matt!" Mimics Taylor in a girly voice. I laugh at Gracie's cherry red face. "You two better get dressed! You've got a plane to catch!" I shoot Taylor a death glare. "Oh she didn't know? Suprise!" He says doing jazz hands.
"What's he talking about?" She looks at me with excitement. I can tell she understands what I'm saying, just wants me to say it.
"Well, umm I was gonna take you back to Virginia to meet my family. If that's okay with you!" I smirk and she laughs kissing me up the lips. I chuckle and we pull away.
"GET A ROOM!" Hayes shouts. Gracie slaps him and he chuckles, "Oh it wittle Gracie embarrassed?" He smirks and she continues to hit him. I laugh too.
"We have a room!" I protest. "Well, we have to get ready! Can you like leave?" I ask all of the guys directing my attention to Trevor. I would've directed my attention to Cameron, but he was kicked out.
"Uhh there will be no funny business, Espinosa! I'll be outside the door!" Sam shoots me a look and I bite my lip. Gracie takes some clothes out of her dresser and walks into the bathroom to change.
"Are you read-" she cuts herself off when she sees my shirtless and pants less. "Oh umm I'll just be-" she turns around and is about to leave when I grab her wrist.
"It's fine, I'm just in my boxers," she nods and I throw on some sweats and a t- shirt. I also throw in my black vans and we head out the door hand and hand. "I'm sorry I kind of forced you to meet my parents, it's just I-I really love you and my mom wants to meet the girl that I've never been able to shut up about, so yeah, but if you don't want to go, you don't have to," I say. She chuckles and kisses me on the lips.
"I can't wait! I've always dreamed if this day; the day I meet my boyfriend's parents," she kisses me again "I just wish I would've gotten more if a notice!" we head out to the car. Once we're both in, I put the key in the ignition and start the car. As I pull out if the driveway, I see all of the guys waving to us. In the car we jam out to Paradise by Jack and Jack.
"Some people all about the dollar bill that ain't how you oughta feel!" I scream at the top of his lungs. She laughs at me and I shut up when he realizes She's filming me. "Delete that!" I shout.
"Make me!" She smirks and I stop to think of what I could do to her. There are a lot. I smirk and She becomes scared. I smile and continue driving. We arrive at the airport and just as I thought, I'm swarmed by girls. I sigh and grab her hand leading her through security and to the gate. We wait for the plane by talking and ignoring fans. Finally, about 20 minutes after we sat down, the plane started boarding. I hand the lady our tickets and we board the plane. I fight Gracie for the window seat, but decide to be a gentleman and let her have it. She falls asleep on my shoulder and decide to talk a picture and post it on Instagram.
'Going home with @theofficialgracegrier ❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍' I smile to myself and tag her. Eventually I fall asleep myself.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up to the sound of us landing "Please turn off your electronic devices; we will be landing in Virginia a few minutes a head of schedule. I peck Gracie's lips and she stirs opening her beautiful brown eyes.
"Are we here yet?" She asks. I nod and she smiles, but it quickly fades. I look in to her eyes. Mine filled with concern. I pull her to my side.
"Are you okay?" I ask her. She sighs and tells me that she had another dream. "Wanna talk about it?" I ask. She hesitates, but nods.
"Cameron and I were at this party that you threw for Christmas and there was alcohol," I tense up, but she calms me down, "Don't worry this was like ten years in the future. He gave me some and I hesitated, but drank it anyway. Hayes and Nash were off doing something else, but told me not to go anything stupid. I told them not to worry about me. You and I had broken up when you cheeted on me and I came back to get you back. I walked into your room to see if you were there and saw you with her. You chased me and caught up to me planting your lips on mine, but they reeked of alcohol. I didn't care I kissed back and Cameron came up and pulled us apart punching you. You fell to the ground passed out and we took you to the hospital. They told us you were in a coma and most likely wouldn't wake up. Then I woke up," by this time, Gracie is in tears and I hug her. She sobs into my chest. I know I'm supposed to say something, but I don't know what.
"It's okay baby shh! Hey! The plane landed!" I say trying to cheer up. It works and she excitedly grabs her bag and skips off the plane holding my hand. We exit the plane and see the vast airport. How are we supposed to find my mom now? We wonder the airport. I try to call her, but she doesn't answer. Finally, we divide to go pick up our luggage and see my mom hiding a sign that read 'Matthew and Grace Espinosa'.
"Hello, you must be Mrs. Espinosa! I'm Grace, but you can call me Gracie, Grace Face, whatever you want I really don't care I can take a joke. Nice sign! Matt's cheeks turned about as red as it!" She nudges me and I blush harder.
"Hi and sweetie, you don't have to call me Mrs. Espinosa! We're practically family already! You can call me Sarah. It's so great to finally meet you! I've only seen pictures and heard him talk about asking you out for the past six months! Oh, Matthew! It's my job to embarrass you! Don't you blush!" Mom chuckles and I blush harder. "May I take a picture of the happy couple?" Mom asks.
"You may!" Gracie says. I look at her with a I-don't-want-to face and she responds with a just-do-it face. I sigh and pick her up bridle style and kiss her. My mom snaps the picture and we release. Gracie's cheeks are as red as can be and all I can do is laugh.
"That's not nice, Matthew! Do you want me to leave?" She asks fake crying. I shake my head and apologize. "You're too easy!" She chuckles and I pout.
"I'm hungry!" I whine. My mom chuckles and Gracie squeezes my hand.
"Babe, when aren't you hungry?" She jokes and I playfully punch her arm and pretend to cry. She rolls her eyes and pecks my cheek.
"Come on, kids! Let's go home and unpack then we'll go out when it isn't 5:58 in the morning," we nod and I laugh as Gracie struggles to carry her suitcase.
"Give it here! I can't stand to see you struggle!" I joke and Gracie refuses, so i just take it out of her hand. She just rolls her eyes and keeps walking. When we reach the car, I sit in back with Gracie so she won't be alone.
"Ugh! Why can't he just leave me alone?" She complains. "But I have to answer; it would be rude," I nod and she hits answer.
"Hey, babe!" Cameron says and Gracie rolls her eyes, "Aww, come on, babe! You know you still love me!"
"What do you want, Cameron? I'm kind of busy right now with Matt. I'm here in Virginia meeting his family, so make it quick," she orders.
"I like it when you're all assertive!" I whisper in her ear. "It turns me on," she rolls her eyes and faces me pecking my lips.
Cameron's POV
"I like it when you're all assertive!" Matt whispers to Grace. He's not a very good whisperer considering I could hear it. She turns to face him kissing his lips then returning to me. What was I going to say again?
"I was wondering if you maybe had met Matt's family yet," she shakes her head.
"No why?" She looks at him weirdly. "Is there something you're not telling, me Matthew? I'll have to call you back, Cameron. Bye!" She almost hangs up.
"Wait. Gracie I-" she rolls her eyes, "I love you!" She smiles briefly then hangs up. I sigh and sit on the bed of my hotel room. That's it! I have to see her. I'm flying down to Virginia to see her. I don't care how long it takes; I am going to see her and I am going to get her back. I grab my MacBook, book a flight for this afternoon at 3:30, and begin to pack up my room when I hear a knock on the door. I answer the door and see none other then Trevor Moran standing right in front of me. "What do you want?" I ask blankly, "did you come to yell at me too?" He shakes his head.
"I came to tell you that I'm done trying to get Gracie back and I think you should too, also Nash sent me to give you this," he holds out a piece of paper. I take it and unfold it. Is this a joke? It looks exactly like Gracie's handwriting. It says-
Dear Cameron,
I still love you and always will. I will always be on your team no matter what. I lost my verginity to you. You were and always will be my first love, but I'm with Matt and I'm happy. If you still love me, just stop trying to get me back and maybe one day I will.
Love, Gracie
I sigh, but smile knowing she still loves me. I just have to convince her that Matt's a douche and I can take care of her. Thanking Trevor, I close the door and continue packing.
I take out my cell phone and call Matt's mom's number. (Cameron- C Sarah, Mrs. Espinosa- S)
S- hi hunny, do you want to talk to Matt? He's with his girlfriend now, but I think I can get him off of the phone.
C- oh that's okay! Is it okay if I come down and spend a few days with you guys? Don't tell Matt I want it to be a suprise.
S- yeah! What time will you be here?
I smirk knowing that she doesn't know the growing tension between us. I wasn't coming for him, I was coming for Gracie; to get her back. She's MINE not his! I saw her first. Hell, I dated her first!
C- around ummm 4:30 your time I think. Can you not bring Matt though?
S- sure, Cam! See you then!
C- thanks bye!
S- bye!
I hang up the phone and resume packing. I assume it will only take my three days to get her back, so I pack the necessities needed for the three days I'm there. I pack my phone charger, MacBook, MacBook charger, clothes I had brought with me, and bathroom stuff such as toothbrush, toothpaste, brush, etc. I set $5 on the bed to tip the maids and head out the door to check out and head to the airport. I check out and get into the cab.
"Thank you, sir you have a safe flight!" The cab driver says with a smile as I get out. I hand him $25 and tell him to keep the change.
"You have a good day!" I say smiling at him as he drives away. Walking into the airport, I can't help but think about how I plan to get Gracie back. Should I set Matt up with someone else? Should I romance her? I don't know I'll think about it on the plane.
"FLIGHT 49-D TO VERGINIA! NOW BOARDING!" I hear over the loudspeaker. This is it. I stand up hanging the lady my ticket before boarding the plane. I eventually feel my eyes get heavy and I fall asleep.
Grace's POV
"So this is my house!" Matt says leading me into the ginormous foyer. My eyes widen. It's a legit mansion! "So, I could give you the house tour, we could go up to my room and go to sleep, or we could go up to my room and do other stuff; personally, I like the last one the best!" He smirks at me. I can't help, but want to last one, but Nash and Hayes would eventually find out and trust me, you don't want to go there.
"I'm tiirreedd," I whine. He smiles and picks me up bridle style carrying me up the long staircase leading to the last room on the left side of the long hallway; this must be Matt's. He opens the door and I'm struck my a blue room with filming lights. It's surprisingly clean for a stereotypical teenage boy's room. He throws me on the bed and crawls in next to me pulling me to him. "I love you, Matthew Lee Espinosa," I whisper in his ear.
"I love you more!" He says. His mint breath sending chills down my spine. "You cold?" He laughs staying quiet, so his parents won't hear him.
"I'm never cold and I love you has a better effect if you use the person's name," I inform him. He chuckles pulling me to his bare chest.
"I love you, Grace Lillian Grier; always have, always will. Now, may I kiss you?" He asks me. I smile and he leans in until our lips touch. I feel butterflies in my stomach again. He has an effect on me and I like that. Next thing I know, Matt's on top of me kissing my neck. My fingers trail his bare chest, but I come to my senses and pull away.
"I'm sorry, I'm just not ready yet. I'm still kind of paranoid ever since the whole Cameron incident," he nods and lays next to me. I kiss him passionately and release snuggling into his chest.
"I was waiting for you to say that," he whispers in my ear and I drift off to sleep to the sound of Matt's soft snoring. God I fell for this boy!
