Chapter eleven

I walked out of the apartment as texted me she here. I was hoping I wouldn't run into Wren on my way out, and as I stood at the elevator waiting for the doors to open, he surprised me from the stairs door.
"Where you going?" His voice made me turn towards him, "Out with my friend..Kat." He looked down at me, taking in my short skirt and my top, pursing his lips, "Not Colby? Right.." I shook my head,
"We haven't spoken since the night you pulled me out of the bar.." I lied, he smiled, "Have fun." He swiftly walked away from me and the elevator doors opened, I finally felt like I could breathe again.

"Hey pretty!" Kat shouted as I got into her car, I smiled widely, "hello!"
"Where are we off to?" I asked as she began driving. "There's this pub, me and the girls like to go to, they have really good food and really refreshing sangrias!" She said with excitement, "Great."

Kat and I got comfortable in the pub, ordering a bunch of appetizers and we were on our third sangria each, both of us enjoying each other's company. Then she began to talk about Colby.
"You know..I see why he finds you so attractive. You're such a beautiful girl.." She picked up a french fry, I felt myself get flustered, "Thank you.."
"Im serious though. You're different than the other girls in L.A honestly im not sure how you ended up here..the girls here all look the same..Colby's lucky you ended up in his bed that one night.." She chuckled, I widened my eyes, surprised by her forwardness. "But tell me, how was it dating Wren. We can talk about that right? If you mind we don't have to.." I shook my head, "That's okay..Wren was sort of...like a roller coaster I guess. One moment he was happy, very in love with me, and then the next he was screaming at me, getting overly upset.."
She gave me a look of sympathy, reaching to hold my hand, "He sounds like an ass. Honestly i'm not surprised..We've all heard so many rumours about him cheating on you for the past year, it's been disgusting..obviously we didn't know your face back then. But..Wren isn't a good guy. You can just tell.." Rumours? How many rumours..i-
"Listen Iris..I think you're better off without him. And just know you're welcome at our place anytime. I think we'll be great friends.." She smiled widely, sipping on her sangria again, I nodded, still curious about those rumours. My phone vibrated in my pocket and I pulled it out, hoping to not be rude.

colby: of course not. I've just been busy, how about you come over later, like nine?

Iris: see you later.

"So, tell me, what was it like living in Canada?" I asked Kat as i put my phone back down, she chuckled, "So different from living here..."

I thought it would be too awkward for me to ask Kat to just give me a ride back to her place, so once she dropped me off I got into my car and began making my way over to Colby's...I felt..wrong for going to meet with him, but it doesn't have to be a hook up..
I made my way to his front door and texted him instead of knocking. A few moments later the door swung open, Colby greeted me with a wide smile, "You could've just walked in you know.." He pulled the door open wider and I stepped inside,
"Definitely not. Your roommates could think i'm a murderer." Colby chuckled, "Next time. Walk in."
He insisted, I heard voices from the kitchen then saw Kat and Sam walk into the entrance.
"Oh hey again Iris. Could've just told me to drive you back here.." Kat grinned, "I'd rather have my car..hi Sam.." I smiled, Sam smiled back, "hey."
"Did Colby bring a girl over?" An unfamiliar voice came into the room and I glanced at the boy,
"Iris, this is Aaron. Aaron, Iris.." Colby introduced us, I smiled, "hi!" Aaron looked over at Colby then back at me, "Hi!"
"Okay, we're gonna head up to my room..don't bother us.." Colby grabbed my hand and began making his way upstairs, pulling me with him, Kat waved bye to me and I waved back.

I sat on Colby's couch as I entered the room, he shut the door and sat in front of me on his bed. Colby was wearing grey sweatpants, his hand laid on his thigh, I couldn't help but let my mind think of his rings touching me again.. "So, sorry for disappearing.." He began, I shrugged, "that's okay..i understand.."
"It's not because of what you told me or anything..don't worry.." He shot me a comforting smile. "So. Did you break up with him or..?" Colby raised an eyebrow, "I moved back in." I instantly replied with regret, Colby raised both his eyebrows now, a shocked expression on his face, "really?"
"Yeah..I'm not sure it was the greatest decision. I went into our old apartment today and it just doesn't feel like home..too many bad memories, I didn't realize how badly he treated me until now.."
"So if you're with him again..why're you here..?" I looked into his ocean blue eyes and I looked away, "I-I don't know." He moved onto the couch beside me, his hand placing itself on my thigh,
"I think you do." He said in a husky voice, I turned my gaze to his, his face an inch from mine, I felt his breath on my skin, I looked down at his lips and I nodded, "Maybe I do.." I looked back up into his eyes and he grinned, his hand reaching my cheek, pulling me into his lips carefully, he kissed me with passion. I kissed him back immediately, already tugging on his t shirt, he was too good to let slip from my fingers, I was obsessed with the way he made my body feel.. He took off his shirt, and I pulled mine off, he stood up and began unbuckling his belt, I slipped my skirt off and he began unclipping my bra, bending me over his couch, he kissed the back of my neck with hunger, his hands feeling the rest of my body, I moaned quietly, remembering the roommates downstairs..
