Ocean Eyes

Another lover

I went downstairs and greeted the odd stranger, while still getting everyone's reactions and opinions on my hair.

(a couple hours have passed)

Most of the people had left by now and I had started to clean up in the kitchen, gathering all the plastic cups, the only people who were still here were Sam, Kat, Colby, Jake and Tara. Corey and Devyn had left about an hour ago and had gone to Devyn's.

"Y/n, can I speak to you for a sec please?" Kat grabbed my arm and pulled me outside closing the door behind us. She stared at me in disbelief, which honestly confused me as I had no idea what she wanted to talk to me about. "What?" I asked sitting down on a deckchair by the pool, "what do you mean what y/n!" Kat seated herself opposite me while aggressively flapping her hands about in frustration. "Kat I'm going to be honest I have no clue what you are on about, so you are gonna need to tell me". 

Kat groaned and rolled her eyes, "Your neck" she said pointing to the hickey that Colby had left there. "Oh shit" I had completely forgot about it and I'm hoping no one else saw. "So what happened between you two?" Kat now folded her arms which made me feel as if I was being interrogated.

"Nothing" I felt bad for lying to Kat as we had become so close lately and it felt so wrong, "Y/n I'm not stupid you don't get hickeys from nothing" she raised her eyebrows intimidatingly. "Ugh fine, we may have made out in Colby's room"

It was all coming back to me now, his soft touch that made me shiver internally, his hot breath on my neck giving me butterflies that intensified with every exhale, his coconut scented hair that was so fluffy. 

"O-M-G!" Kat yelled in excitement, throwing her arms around my neck embracing me in a giant hug. "So like what is this? Are you official, boyfriend and girlfriend?" She returned back to her seat and relaxed.

"Nope, we haven't even been on a second date, or even discussed where we are at" An overwhelming wave of anxiety flooded over me, what if he didn't actually like me? What if he only wanted me once but doesn't anymore? What if this is all for a prank? My hands started to shake uncontrollably so I shoved my hand in between my legs trying to hide it. "Can we not talk about it right now please Kat?" I think Kat noticed that I wasn't okay because she looked at my shaking wrists before looking me in the eyes and nodding.

We both stood up and walked back into the house.

"There you are" Sam threw his arms up in the air "I've been looking for you". It was kind of late at this point, around 12:46, and I think we were all tired. "I think we should go to bed and tidy this up tomorrow" Sam said looking at the dirty plates in the sink, "Way ahead of you buddy" Jake shouted from upstairs, "I bet that him and Tara will be fast  asleep within two minuets" I said laughing, Sam and Kat both agreed.

"I better get going so that I don't wake my neighbour's" I pulled my car keys out of my pocket and did my coat up. "Ummm no, it's too late for you to be driving at this hour just stay here, I'm sure Kat has some spare pjs" Sam said looking at Kat who nodded in agreement to both statements.

"You guys sure?" I asked placing my car keys back in my pocket, "yes y/n!" Kat said handing me some pjs that she had run and got. "Thank you" I smiled at them both, "Quick question where's Colby?" I asked fiddling with the lilac pyjamas, "I think he left with some girl just after Corey and Devyn went" Sam replied.

I felt my heart stop, as pain coursed through my veins and my legs almost gave way. He left with some girl, I thought we had something special but clearly not. I tried to hide my feelings from Sam and Kat but I think they picked up on it, but they chose not to say anything which was honestly relieving.

"Lets go upstairs" Kat said grabbing my hand and leading me up the stairs with Sam following behind me, she lead me to the guest room. We said our goodnights and they both left and went into Sam's room.

I got dressed into the lilac pyjamas and let down my hair before wiping of the makeup that Kat had done on me earlier, I placed the makeup wipe into the bin besides the mirror, I got a glance of the mark that Colby had left on my neck earlier that night and tears pricked my eyes as a wave of self loathing hit me. 

I sat back onto the bed as the tears rolled down my bare face, my eyes reddening, I covered my mouth with my left hand trying to hold in my whimpers and not disturb the others in the house, I ran my right hand through my head trying to get a grip of the situation.

After about ten minuets I had stopped crying but the thought of Colby and another girl still raced through my head making me feel sick. My eyes began to grow heavier and it had begun a task to keep them open.

The light slowly started to fade and I slipped into a deep sleep.
