The Adventure of My Dreams {Colby Brock}

Ninety

Anyone else ever sit back and think about how big of a blur life is between Christmas Day and New Year's Day? You don't know what day of the week it is, there's a consistency of leftovers to eat, alcohol to drink. It's as if the celebration never ends.

We all agreed upon ringing in the New Years in a laid back fashion at Sam and Colby's. Although it took Sam some convincing of Colby to not throw a party... his birthday was the next day and I was in charge of throwing an absolute banger.

Well, that day was finally here.

Today was in fact Colby's 25th birthday.

The plan was to take him to dinner with all of our friends. After the waiter brings out his slice of cake, everyone is going to leave and meet back at my house where the party was being thrown. Not only was the party a surprise, but the house too.

It was going to be nice to be able to have some place that was more private than his home, since four of them did live together.

The day quickly passes by and it was now 6 pm. I was getting ready at my house when there was a knock at the door. Kat was coming to pick me up. I was amazed we were able to pull these instances off without Colby picking up on anything.

I ran down and unlocked the door, pulling it open to reveal Kat on the other side. "Hey girl!" She came inside and pulled me into a hug. "Devyn and Tara took an Uber they'll be here any minute."

"Alright we'll just leave the front door unlocked for them and we can get started." We headed back upstairs to my room. "Did you bring an outfit or did you want to pick out one of my dresses?" I asked, walking over to my closet and grabbing the hanger my dress was on.

"I brought a dress from home."

I slipped off my t-shirt and shorts and tossed them aside, leaving me in my bra and underwear. I took my dress on the hook and unzipped the back, stepping into it, reaching behind my back to zip it shut.

It was a simple red silk dress that hung a little lower on my chest. Still, it managed to hug my curves perfectly. "Oh my god, Soph. Are you sure you aren't Colby's present?" I laughed and shook my head. "I promise."

Kat herself had her long black hair straightener, and she wore a light pink leather top and a black skirt. Her pink makeup matched her outfit perfectly.

"You are just the prettiest." I said, sloping on my red high heels. "Says you."

"We're here! Tara yelled out just before we heard my front door shut. "Be right down!" Kat yelled in response.

"Ready to start your surprise?" I nodded. "Yeah, I'll meet you guys out in the car." Kat nodded and grabbed her clutch, leaving the bedroom. I walked over to my vanity and opened a red matte lipstick and applied it, grabbing my favorite perfume and spritzing it over my chest. To really make my glow my appearance, I sprayed glitter body spray on.

I left my hair in my natural curly form, because Colby really favored when I didn't straight my hair.

I grabbed my purse and made my way downstairs and out the door, locking it behind me. I got in the backseat and buckled in.

"Oh my god, aren't you guys just so excited?!" Kat asked as she pulled out of my driveway. "I can't wait to partyyy!" Tara shouted.

"I can't wait to see Corey." Devyn said, a grin forming on her lips.

"What if Colby is upset that I bought a house?" I asked, looking around at the girls.

"Why would he be upset?" Tara asked.

"I don't know. Maybe he wax excited to have me stay with him a little longer?"

"Soph.. think of how much privacy you guys will have when he comes over. When you come to his place you have to deal with Sam, Corey, Jake; and literally any other random house guests." Kat said, glancing back at my through her mirror.

"If I'm being honest, me and Sam were talking about getting our own place before the wedding, so The Traphouse isn't going to last forever. We all have to slowly start moving on at some point."

"Jake is looking to buy a house." Tara stated.

"WHAT?!" We all said in unison.

"He just thinks it's best after everything that's happened. He feels like he's not on the greatest terms with Sam and Colby because of it."

"Shouldn't he like.. feel guilty for not listening to Soph and being the reason something has happened to her twice now?" Devyn said.

"I never said I agreed with it. I'm aware he's made some mistakes but that's his thing to fix and work on." She shrugged.

"Anyways. Colby could never be mad at you. If anything, he's probably going to come over and never want to leave you."

Within ten minutes we arrived at the restaurant and everybody was standing out front. My heart fluttered at the sight of Colby standing on the front walkway of the restaurant.

He had on black skinny jeans with a gucci belt, a black button up, where the top two buttons were undone. His silver chains ran from his back belt loop to the front, covering along the side of his left hip. The glasses, the chunky rings on his fingers. His freshly dyed black hair.

Sometimes she had a hard time believing he was really hers.

I unbuckled my seatbelt and pushed the car door open, slowly getting out. A smirk was plastered on my face as we made direct eye contact.

For a split second, it felt like nobody else was around us. "We'll meet you guys inside. The reservation is under my name."

We waited a moment before everyone went inside the restaurant.

"Happy Birthday, handsome." I said as he pulled my closer to his body, resting his hands on my ass. My hands gently cupped his cheeks. "Black hair really suits you. It's sexy."

"You're the sexy one." He said, raising his hand slightly and smacking my ass. "Babyyy!"

"I can't wait until you're mine later." He said in a lower tone, a smirk forming on his lips. "Then let's get this night over with already."
