Three days. That's how long we've been at the beach house now. So far, we're all having a great time. Jace was definitely right, it was indeed our last alone time when everyone went grocery shopping. During the day at least. Even though we're seeing each other all day long, I'm craving time for just the two of us. I look forward to being home with Jace again.

"Mila, are you ready? We're just about to head out" Sarah pulls me out of my thoughts. 

I realise that I'm sitting on my bed and have zoned out for a good ten minutes. "Yeah, sorry. I just need to grab my towel, I'll be right there" I smile back at her.

I don't want today's moodiness to bring everyone else down, so I pull myself together before heading down the stairs. Today we're having the promised girl day, and even though I'm slightly anxious this morning, I look forward to it. My throat is feeling a little tight, but I feel like I still have it under control.  Bree and Sarah have always made me feel safe, but it won't be the same feeling without Jace around. It sounds cheesy, but he really is like an anchor to me. I arrive in the kitchen wearing just jean shorts and my bikini top, to see everyone standing around, chatting about the upcoming day. 

"Morning everyone" I say into the round and stand right next to my boyfriend.

He wraps his arm around my waist right away and pulls me close. I sigh in content slightly while leaning into him. "You look good. Excited for your day?" Jace asks me quietly. 

I nod my head back at him. "Thank you. I am, but I missed you in bed this morning" I tell him, talking about the fact that he was up very early.

"Sorry babe, I couldn't sleep, so I went for a run on the beach" he says with empathy. 

"It's okay" I say, wrapping my arms around him too. I don't know why, but I just want to feel him close to me. 

"What's up with you? You're extra cuddly today" Jace states, chuckling slightly. 

"Is it weird that I miss you? Everything's just been so hectic" I say, not wanting to sound stupid.

Jace smirks at my statement, but kisses my head anyway. "How about I'll make it up to you tonight?" he whispers, so no one can hear him. My cheeks turn red at his statement.

"We should totally go clubbing tonight! What do you think lovebirds?" Bree pulls us out of our conversation before I can answer.  

She looks excited, so I don't want to ruin the fun for everybody. Jace smirks at me still, probably thinking the same thing I am. "Sounds good" I say, slightly disappointed about another lost evening with Jace. I really don't know why I'm so needy today, but I guess there's always after the club.

"Alright boys, should we head out?" Austin suggests. 

"What are you guys up to?" I ask, not knowing what's going on yet.

"We're headed out to play baseball" Jace says and my eyes light up. It makes me happy knowing he'll pick baseball up again after seeing him play on campus a little while ago.
