I find myself standing in the airport with Sebastian, Eva, and Luca waiting for Jordy and Journee before I know it. I'm in a comfy white silk button-up with some buttons unbuttoned showing my black lace bralette and some matching silk shorts. I'm wearing my comfy black Burberry slides as my curly hair is pulled into a loose messy bun.

I wanted to see Jordy immediately when she arrived back in town, but she wasn't back until four in the morning, and it would've been weird for me to offer to pick her up separately when she has Journee.

Well, maybe not weird, but I don't want to cause suspicions.

We're sitting in the soft seats of the flight waiting area as the digital tv above us displays the flight departure to Miami, Florida. I can't help but think back to Jordy. S

he's constantly been in the back of my head since we've been apart.

I always wonder what she's doing or what she's thinking about; if she's thinking about me like I am her.

We texted while she was away but it was mostly just once a day to check in and make sure we were both okay.

"The party has arrived," Journee's voice echos throughout the busy airport causing me to turn around.

Journee is easily spotted as she rocks a yellow tight romper with black strappy sandals, and her loose curls are out framing her face.

Jordy appears behind her in a white beater tank top with Duke basketball shorts and all-white Gucci slides.

Her loose curls are pulled into a low ponytail highlighting her sharp features.

"I'm pretty sure we're the party," Eva says as she gestures to us causing Journee to let out a short laugh.

"Not without me you aren't," she corrects her, and Eva nods quickly.

"You aren't wrong," she admits and Journee flashes her a bright smile before winking at her.

Jordy rolls her eyes playfully at Journee as she walks over and takes a seat beside me.

I feel my heart rate spike as her familiar scent enters my nose.

Journee mimics her actions taking a seat across from Jordy and me beside Sebastian.

"So how's everyone been?" Jordy's smooth voice asks causing my stomach to swirl in nervousness, and I hear some say 'good', and others say 'amazing'.

Jordy turns to me slightly and I realize I didn't answer the question.

Her caramel eyes meet mine causing my stomach to fill with hectic butterflies.

"I've been good," I answer her questions as I try to keep my eyes remained on hers, even though I really want to look towards her lips.

"Jordy, do you mind switching seats with me? It's still first class I just want to be beside Sebastian," Journee interrupts us and I feel my heart do a leap.

Journee was originally beside me.

"I don't mind," Jordy says before the intercom comes on signaling our plane is boarding.

We all automatically gather our stuff before heading onto the plane.

As we walk onto the plane I search for my designated seat, once I spot it I open the overhead bin attempting to store my carry-on.

I feel a gentle hand place itself on the side of my waist, "Here let me help," Jordy says lowly as she uses her free hand to push my bag into the bin.

She successfully fits it in before closing, and I meet her caramel eyes before quickly looking back to the seats.

I slide into the row as she does the same before she sits down next to me.

I see Eva and Luca walk past us to their seats that are a few rows from us, and later passes Sebastian and Journee who head a couple of rows past them.

"I wish I could kiss you right now," Jordy admits lowly from beside me causing my dark eyes to snap towards her.

"Me too," I say honestly and her lips tug upwards in a slight smile.

"How was Duke?" I ask curiously and her smile turns bigger.

"Amazing I really missed my friends," she admits and I nod with a smile.

"How was it these past couple of days?" she asks and I shrug.

"Boring without you," I admit and she tilts her head at me slightly.

"But I chilled with Journee, Eva, and Luca basically the whole time, so it was still partially fun," I admit and Jordy's disapproval look turns into a small smile.

"Good I'm glad you had a partially fun time," she says and I playfully shake my head at her.

"I just can't wait to have some alone time with you," I admit and her caramel eyes gaze into mine before looking towards my lips.

"Me too baby," she says calling me baby again causing my heart to flutter.

"I like when you call me baby," I say addressing the sudden pet name causing her eyebrows to rise in a playful manner.

"I prefer Elle or Brielle since most people don't call you that," she admits and I smile slightly at her openness.

"You aren't wrong, but no one is calling me baby," I correct her and she tilts her head as she ponders the thought.

"Well someone's called you it before, but no ones called you Elle. Possibly Brielle." she analyzes it and It's one of the first times that I've seen her analyze anything at all.

My stomach warms at the thought of her really thinking this deeply into what she calls me.

"You're right," I say speechlessly as I analyze her beautiful features.

She raises a brow at my actions as she looks deep into my eyes.

"I'm sorry can you repeat what you just said?" she teases as she looks deeper into my eyes.

I feel myself suddenly flush due to her very direct gaze.

Also, the thought of her analyzing me only makes me blush further.

I can't help but smile at the fact that she thinks deeply about things like me.

"You're right Jor," I say challenging her stare and she smirks slightly at me.

"You know, no one ever calls me Jor?" she asks and I feel myself smile to myself.

"Really?" I ask her and she nods with a small smile.

Suddenly the pilot comes on the intercom announcing that we're preparing for take-off.

Jordy and I strap our seatbelts and prepare for take-off before I feel her gently grab my hand and pull it into her lap.

Her eyes look into mine, "I can't wait to sleep beside you for the next two weeks," she whispers and I shake my head as a smile forms on my lips.

"You're just..." I trail off not even knowing how to describe how amazing she is.

I look back at her meeting her hazel eyes, "Out of this world. Out of this universe actually, and I'm so thankful for you," I say gently causing her to smile so big that her beautiful white teeth show.

"I'm thankful for you too Elle," she says back as her hand caresses mine.

The flight is quiet but in a comfortable way.

We both have our AirPods in doing our own different things, but we're also enjoying one another's presence.

The flight lands quicker than I thought as we all gather our things and exit the plane.

The Florida airport is busy as ever with people all frantically getting to their next destination.

We order an uber making sure it's a Cadillac SUV so it can comfortably fit all six of us.

The driver loads our bags into the trunk as we gather into the luxurious SUV.

The driver heads to the condo that we're calling home for the next two weeks, and we quickly arrive within twenty minutes.

He pulls to the front of the tall modern glass condo before we all excitingly exit the SUV.

The driver helps unload our bags to the concierge as we all head up.

We exit the elevator on the thirty-fourth floor before heading towards the luxurious condo. J

ournee unlocks the door digitally before pushing it open.

We're met with an open concept living space combining the kitchen, living room, and dining room.

The living room sits to the right of us while the kitchen sits farther back to the left with the dining area beside it to the right.

The tall ceilings with the luxurious light fixtures grab my attention, but that was before looking out at the view.

The floor-to-ceiling windows leading out to a balcony that wraps around the condo immediately capture my full attention.

I silently gasp as I look out to the ocean, getting a full panoramic view.

Wow.

"Okay, guys let's pick out rooms," Journee's voice echoes through the extravagant condo. "There's two with a view and one without," she clarifies as we all make our way to the hallway beside the kitchen.

It has two doors to the right and one to the left.

"Brielle and I are taking a room with a view," Jordy demands as she walks into the last room on the right earning a groan out of Journee.

"You always choose that room Jordy," Journee yells after her as Sebastian heads into the first room on the right that has a view.

Eva and Luca end up in the room with no view as they head into the room on the left.

"You'll live Journee," Jordy calls from behind her and Journee rolls her eyes as she follows Sebastian into the room.

"It could be worse Journee," Luca says as he gestures behind him and she shrugs.

"I guess it could be worse, we could not be in Miami right now," She says excitingly as she goes to close the door.

"We're pre-gaming for the club at 8, so everyone in the kitchen at that exact time," she says as she points to us with narrow eyes causing us to all nod before saluting her jokingly.

She rolls her eyes playfully before fully shutting the door causing us to all disperse.

I meet Jordy in the grand bedroom seeing her sitting on the edge of the bed as she looks at her phone.

I take a minute to analyze the beautiful room.

As you walk into the room there's a huge king bed covered in white comforters to your left against the wall and the right wall is floor-to-ceiling glass.

It shows beautiful panoramic views of the ocean and leads out onto the balcony that's connected to the main one from the living area.

The wall that the bed is against has a door on each side, which I assume is a bathroom and a walk-in closet.

I walk over to Jordy who is still extremely invested in her phone before gently grabbing it from her hands as I straddle her.

Her eyebrows furrow as she looks up, and she reaches for it.

I jerk it back slightly as I analyze her for a second with narrowed eyes.

"Do you mind not being on your phone for a second?" I ask gently as I hand her the phone back causing her to get back on it immediately.

I let out a huff of frustration at her actions, this is so unlike her?

I get up from her as I grab my suitcase before unzipping it and picking out an outfit for tonight.

By the time I pick out my outfit, it's been around thirty minutes, and Jordy's still typing on her phone.

I try my hardest to brush it off knowing I can still have a good trip without her.

It's just we've been apart for two days, and she'd been talking about how bad she wanted to be alone with me.

To kiss me...

Then this is what she does?

I don't know maybe I shouldn't feel that way about it, but I do.

I'm not going to get mad or upset at her, but she won't be the main priority if I'm not hers.

That's honestly okay with me, but I'm disappointed in a way.

Either way, I'm giving the energy back exactly as it came.

"We're meeting in the kitchen at eight for pre-gaming before the club," I announce to her before heading into the bathroom without waiting for her reply.

I take a shower before getting dressed in a strapless red corset dress and brushing out my curls.

I put on a light foundation base before putting on concealer and bronzer.

I gel down my eyebrows before finishing the look off with red lipstick on my plump lips.

I exit the bathroom seeing Jordy on the same spot of the bed with her hair slicked back into her usual no-part hairstyle.

I see she's in a navy short-sleeve button-up with tan jeans, and matching tan Jordan 1's.

I tilt my head slightly, how did she get ready?

I walk out of the bathroom as I walk over to my suitcase and grab my silver heels that lace up my legs.

I lace them up my smooth legs, "When did you get ready?" I ask Jordy who's still invested in her phone.

"I got ready maybe thirty minutes ago, I used Journee's bathroom," she mumbles and I nod before finishing lacing up my heels.

I rise from the floor as I walk towards the door.

"Elle?" Jordy calls me back causing me to turn back around meeting her caramel eyes.

She continues, "Where are you going?" she asks curiously and I shrug.

"It just hit seven so I guess I'll take some pictures with Journee," I mumble back before exiting the room.

I hate that I'm acting this way when I want to hug her and kiss her, but It's not fair to treat someone this way and not expect it back.

I halt myself mid-walk as I come to a realization.

Communication.
