A few days have passed since I went to look at houses with Sam and Kat, and I was more than adamant about getting the last place that we looked at. It would honestly be heartbreaking to lose it to someone else.
I was relaxing in the hot tub by myself, as everyone was in the house recording a new video. It's hard to have 'me time' with this many people around, but I manage to make it work.
The night sky was clear, the full moon was giving a glisten of light to the objects, and my head was tilted up just gazing at the stars.
I just couldn't wait for my house to sell, to be able to uproot my life and bring it to the one place that I was always destined to be... it just took this long to truly figure out what was meant to be in my life. If it wasn't for all of the past instances in my life, I wouldn't be here right now. So even though those shitty things we go through in life truly do suck, you never know what is waiting for you down the road.
For my life currently, I'm forever grateful.
I was humming along to a song that was playing on my phone, and I went to reach for my glass of wine when my phone vibrated, alerting me that I had a text message.
Unknown: I'm about to give you what you always wanted.
I unlocked my phone and looked at the notification, not wanting to open the message. Frankly I had no idea who that was, or what the message truly even meant, so I just cleared it from my screen. I set my phone back down and took a swig of my wine, and relaxed back into the water.
"Soph?" I heard Colby call out and turned my head to see him walking over to the hot tub. He was in just a pair of swim trunks.
"Everything alright out here?" He asked, stepping into the water. "Oh yeah, just enjoying the night. Did you guys finish the video?"
"Yeah, we just decided to do a little would you rather game for Kat's video." He scooted over to me and wrapped his arm around my waist, and pulled me into his lap.
"I missed you, though." He said in a soft tone, cupping his hands on my cheeks. I felt them heat up slightly under his gaze, trying my best to not break our eye contact.
About fifteen minutes passed by and Colby had "Self Care" by Mac Miller playing, tapping his fingers on my thigh to the beat of the song.
I was humming along when an idea came to mind, almost perfect at that.
"How does an adventure sound?" I asked, slowly turning my head to look over at him. "What.. like right now?" He asked.
"No... but I could never see you saying no to a late night adventure." I said with a laugh and finished off the last of the wine in my glass. "True." He said, defeated by my statement.
"I have a connection, that could get us into a pretty sick location. They'll actually have it for an entire week to film there. I could get us in." A sly smirk formed on my lips as I watched his eyebrows furrow. Either in confusion or curiosity. Regardless, he looked pretty cute.
"Now you've really got my attention." I watched as Colby moved from the spot he was sitting in, and was now standing in front of me. He stood in between my legs and rested his hands on my shoulders. His gaze was locked on me already as I glanced up at him.
"Remember when we first met, and I told you about everything that happened when me and Angelina met Zak Bagans?" He nodded his head.
"They are being granted access to the Cecil Hotel for an entire week. He hit me up and said that I could come myself, or with you guys."
"Soph, that would be dope!" He exclaimed.
"We would end up making an appearance on the special they're filming, and they're even willing to do a special for YouTube. I know you guys are taking a break from paranormal on your channel, so I can post it for mine." I said.
"That would boost your channel like crazy, babe. Sam is going to freak when he hears about this! Can the guys come as well?" He asked.
"Of course. Only if they want to, obviously. But this is a once in a lifetime type of thing here. So I want to fly Angelina out here to be apart of it. Get our entire crew together."
"You're amazing, you know that, right?" He said with a smile, brushing his thumb along my jaw. I took my bottom lip between my teeth and shrugged lightly. "I may have heard once or twice."
"Let's get out and head to bed, we can talk to the guys in the morning and book Angelina her flight." He pressed a gentle kiss to the top of my head.
Colby got out first and then I got out, wrapping a towel around my body. I grabbed my wine glass and he grabbed his phone, and we headed inside of the house.
