Chapter eighteen

"Do you think I should..get going? Get him home..?" I asked Colby as the party got more quiet, looking over at my drunk boyfriend on the couch, dicks drawn all over his face, and a moustache. Colby pulled me by my waist and pouted, "Don't go."
I smiled and shook my head, "I can't have him wake up here in the morning and question where I am.."
"Fuck Iris. As much as this is fun. I think you should just break up with him." I looked around making sure Colby's voice didn't catch attention, there weren't many people in the room and the music was playing very softly.

"Don't start..telling me what to do Colby.." I scoffed, picking up my phone from my pocket. He grabbed it from my hands and sighed, "text him..so that way when when he wakes up in the morning he'll see it, tell him that you decided to go to Cass's because she called and was upset about a guy ditching her or something, and just apologize for leaving him here alone. That way he won't look for you in the morning." I nodded, "that's pretty good..he'll probably be mad but when isn't he...are we being too careless about this..?" I began to doubt us, as much as he was fun..and very attractive...maybe we were having too much fun.. Colby rolled his eyes and reached out for my hand, "I like you too much to care about the consequences. Let's go upstairs and watch a movie." I furrowed my eyebrows as he pulled me towards the stairs, "Watch a movie?"
"Yeah, a good one, and we can cuddle.." He mumbled, "You don't wanna have sex?" I asked with confusion as we stepped into his room, he shut the door behind us and I sat down on his bed.

"Of course I do, but right now, im super wasted and I'd like it if we spent some quality time together.." It felt different to hear this from him, it was the opposite of what usually came out of his mouth, it was nice..a good kind of different.
"But if you want to just keep using me, I understand.." he grinned at me, his gaze staring down at me, making me feel intimidated.
"No, let's watch a movie, or whatever.." I smiled, he immediately smiled and fell into me, causing me to crash back onto his bed, feeling him embrace me, my heart was speeding fast now.
"You're so pretty Iris. I mean that.." His slurred words reminded me of how drunk he was and it made me kind of upset he wouldn't remember this in the morning.
"You're sweet Colby.." I patted his back, he then rolled next to me, using his hand to hold up his head, staring at me, "I want to get to know you better..and not just sexually.." He reached out to my face, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear.
"What's your favourite colour..?" He suddenly asked,
making me chuckle, "forest green."
"Oh..nice, and how about your favourite hobby?"
"driving at night with the music blaring...is that a hobby..?" I furrowed my eyebrows, looking over into his eyes again, he smiled lightly, nodding his head, "It is to me."
"What you do when you're sad?"
"Listen to sad music..try and go out with friends..call you.." I grinned, causing him to smile widely,
"I like it when you call me unexpectedly.." He admitted, "I can't wait to go on more explorations with you Colby." I admitted too, he was letting out all his secrets, so why shouldn't i?
"Like one you said was far away, I can't wait to experience that with you. You make my life more..interesting.." He laughed, nodding his head again, "I bet i do. Hey..am I a good enough reason to leave your crappy boyfriend?" He asked directly..I felt myself grow more confused, does he like me like me? Want to be my boyfriend kind of like me..?
"What do you mean by that Colbs..?" I sat up, staring down at him, he leaned his head back, shutting his eyes as if he got comfortable.
"I don't know Iris. I think that you should just leave him. You and I and many people know that you can do so much better.." He finally sat up, his blue eyes reaching mine, "Are you what's better..?" I asked, nervously, he shrugged, "I could be."
"you're just drunk.." i laughed.
"I am, but I mean it. Come on, i could be boyfriend material..oh god am i scaring you? Im sorry.." he lifted his hand to his mouth and I reached to it, pulling it away, "No you're not. It's a good fantasy."
"It doesn't have to be a fantasy.." His eyes stared into me as if he could read every thought through my head and i began to grow even more nervous.
"I like you Iris. I want you to like me too.." He admitted, I sat there speechless, feeling my heart beat faster, he then reached to me, pulling me into him, kissing me softly, with care, not lustful kisses like all our last ones...we slowly fell back onto his bed, deepening our soft kiss. We slowly pulled apart and glanced into each other's eyes for a moment. I slowly put myself against his chest and shut my eyes, allowing his warmth to comfort me, his arm wrapped around my body now..I hadn't felt butterflies like these in a long time.

I awoke to an empty bed, feeling my head pound from last nights drinking, the sun from Colby's window made me throw his blanket over my head, I reached out for my phone and pulled it under with me, squinting my eyes at the messages on my phone.

12:34 p.m

Wren: okay, im headed home. Text me when you're up..last night was really cool..it felt nice to be like we used to be...

colby: i'm going out. Shower if you'd like, and have something from the fridge.

I got out from under the blankets, not responding to either of them..I guess Colby didn't remember last night like I expected, I sat up from the bed and got ready to head out of his place.
