Chapter nine

Colby and I seated ourselves at the table with his friends, Cassie began talking with them and I kept quiet, Colby's hand found its way to mine and he inspected my wrist carefully, purple bruising began to show, I looked over at him and he shot me a comforting grin. "So he's a crazy ex..?" Colby asked me subtly and I nodded, "Technically."
"Six months and he's still tailing you. He has to be.."
"Colby I have to be honest with you.." I broke eye contact with him and fiddled with my straw.
"Wren and I had a fight a few days ago..technically I never broke up with him.." I looked over at Colby and his eyes were widened, "Wait what? You cheated on him with me?" Did I? I couldn't even consider it cheating.. "Can we maybe go outside..So i can explain it better..?" I raised an eyebrow, Colby shrugged, I slowly got out of my chair and began walking out of the bar, he followed from behind me.

Colby deserved an explanation, even if it was just casual sex..I didn't want him thinking he was my side whore..We both stood by the busy street and stared at each other for a moment.
"Wren cheated on me a few days ago..I walked in on him with another girl..that was the night we met, and I was interested in going to your place. I didn't think we'd see each other again, i'm sorry for dragging you into a mess.." I looked down at the floor and Colby poked my arm,
"hey, it's okay, we had some pretty good sex. When I asked you to come over, I didn't think i'd see you again either.." He admitted, it made me feel better.
"So..now that im in the mix. Planning on staying his girlfriend?" He raised an eyebrow, I shook my head, "No..I don't know..he's been my life for three years..he says it all the time..that I won't find anyone else..It's stupid. Now we know we won't have sex anymore.." I forced a smile at Colby, he rolled his eyes, "Fuck that guy, and not just because I like having casual sex with you, but because he's an asshole.." Colby made me chuckle, "Im serious."
His blue eyes shined under the street lights and he held a serious tone. "You can do much better."
"Thanks Colby. I'll think about it some more."
"Oh, and Iris.." Colby grabbed my arm delicately as I turned to go back to the bar, I turned to him, "yeah?"
"If you do get back together..and you decide you want to get back at him..don't be shy. Give me a call. We can do it on his bed." He winked, I felt my cheeks rise with heat, the thought made me grin.
"I'll remember that.." I nodded, we made our way back into the bar this time.

Colby and I didn't end the night together unfortunately..but we did have fun at the bar, and I becoming friends with everyone..I was hoping my secret didn't mess with his head too much..Instead my night ended with me and Cassie laying in her bed watching a horror movie. "Hey Cass?" I mumbled, "mhm"
"Do you think I should get back with Wren?" I asked suddenly, she turned to me with a look of disappointment and I shook my head,
"Let me rephrase..do you think I should get back at Wren." She shoved a chip in her mouth and furrowed her eyebrows, "what do you mean?"
"I mean, move back in, get back together. Have sex with Colby on our bed. Have sex everywhere.."
Cassie's eyes widened in shock,
"who even are you right now? Where is Iris?"
I put my hand on my forehead and sighed,
"It was a crazy idea..forget it.." I looked back at the movie. "Was it Colby's idea.." She questioned me,
"No, well..he said if I get back together with him and want to get some type of revenge..to call him."
"Wow..he is bold. And these are the thoughts you recollected from his comment?" She shot me a grin, I shrugged, "It's stupid. We both know i'm not like that at all.."
"You could be.." She mumbled.
