Life & Love of the Tormented

Chapter Thirteen

  The day passes fairly quickly and before I know it, Uni is finished and I'm heading to my car.

Wednesday's are my long day and my last class didn't finish until close to 6pm. I'm tired as fuck but today was a good day. I learnt so much. I learnt a little more in depth about how to use my camera more effectively. I learnt some new camera functions and how to manipulate them to get a desired affect. I'm just loving everything I'm being taught.

I pull out my phone to call Taya and there's a message notification on my home screen I didn't even realise I'd received.

  'Hey! How are you? I'm back in town tonight. Would love to swing by and see you! It's been far to long! Colton xo'

  OH.MY.FUCKING.GOD!!

'Omg Colt! Welcome home! Would love to see ya! Come past about 8pm? A x', I send back.

  *Ding Ding*

  'Can't wait! I'll bring us a bottle 😉 x'.

I roll my eyes, typical Colton wanting to hit the booze hard in the middle of the week.

'Haha, I can't go to hard dude, I have Uni tomorrow', I reply.

*Ding Ding*

'Uni!? Well look at you! Knew you'd go far kid! You can tell me all about it tonight xo'.

  Colton is an older guy I used to have a casual thing with about 12 months ago. There were no feelings involved what so ever. He's in his early thirties and still acting 21 and loving it and I don't do feelings. He's just a great mate that I occasionally used to have sex with. He's been away in Western Australia working on the mine sites there for about a year. I haven't seen or heard from him since he left, well other than the odd 'How ya going?' text here and there...

I call Taya like I had intended and to not let her know about our out of town visitor that's coming over tonight. She informs me that she's out tonight. Finally catching up with 'the guy from the bar'...

"God I hope he's worth the wait", I say to her, laughing before hanging up.

  I arrive home kinda buzzing. Colton is such a good friend, I've missed him so much and I'm looking forward to catching up with him. I make myself a chicken salad and take it with me to my room to freshen up.

Once I've eaten and showered, I fix my hair into a messy bun, redo my makeup and get dressed. I've chosen my favourite black jeans with slashes mid thigh and at the knee and I've paired them with a long sleeved black and grey camo print tunic. Cute, comfy and not to colourful. Perfect.

  I'm laying on the couch with music playing over the speaker at a medium level, scrolling my phone.

*Knock Knock Knock*

I jump up to answer the door.

"Hey You", Colton says when he sees me.

"OH MY GOD HEY!", I say leaping forward into his familiar arms for a hug.

Fuck, he's still as hot as always.

Colton looks like the crew cut, 30 year old version of M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold. Including both arms being covered in a sleeve of tattoos. His hair and features are dark. He has broad shoulders, big arms and a perfectly short and well groomed goatee. He has 2 holes in his lower lip and one in his eye brow where his snake bite piercings and eye brow ring used to be. He's wearing a typical Colton outfit, gun metal grey graphic muscle tee, black cargo pants and black timberland boots. And my god does he smell good.
