My sweet escape | cb

twenty-five

Kat and I were currently on our way to the airport to pick up Nate, Sam, and Colby.

This week and a half without Colby has been so long. I'm so happy he's coming back.

I'm excited to show him what we did to the house. When we get to the airport, we go to where we pick the boys up.

I sat down in the chair and started bouncing my leg nervously. I kept scanning the room for the three.

After ten minutes of waiting, I look to see my favorite brunette. I let out a gasp while getting out of the chair.

"Colby!" I yell out. Everyone in the airport was looking at me but I couldn't care less.

Colby had the biggest smile on his face. I ran up to him and jumped into his arms.

He grabbed onto my ass so I wouldn't fall. I kissed his lips, missing the feeling.

Our lips moved in sync for a moment, and it was an amazing feeling. Sadly, we had to pull away for air.

He places me down on my feet while admiring my face. "You have no idea how much I've missed you." He kisses my forehead.

I was so into the moment, I forgot we were in public. I looked over to everyone else.

Nate was standing there awkwardly so I went over to him.

"Nice to see you again." I smile towards him. He returned the gesture and looked at me.

"You too, Mahoney. I'm just glad you two can be together again so Colby can shut up about it." I laughed a little bit.

I looked over at the brunette to see he's blushing. "Don't listen to him." Colby whispered to me while shaking his head.

"Two days until I see Ashton again. I wonder what Ashton is doing." Nate mocked his best friend.

Colby swung and punched Nate in the shoulder, causing him to grab his shoulder.

"Alright, hulk. Damn." He said in pain while grabbing his shoulder. I just laugh and look at Sam.

"Glad to see you're back." He said the same to me so we started taking the stuff to the car.

We put their stuff in the back and then climbed in. Sam and Kat rode up front while I rode in the back with Nate and Colby.

I sat in between them and I actually didn't mind it too much. "So, anything exciting happen while we were gone?" Sam asked curious.

I started smirking towards Kat as she looked at me through the mirror.

"We could say something happened. How was the trip?" I ask changing the subject.

They started explaining it and telling us how amazing it was. Colby started showing me pictures of everything and it looks like they had fun.

I honestly couldn't wait to see the videos. When we pulled into the house, everyone was here.

"I didn't expect everyone to be here." Sam said a little surprised.

I had to come up with something fast. "Yeah, they wanted to see you all." I lie.

We grabbed their bags, Kat and I letting the three boys in first. They opened the front door, Kat and I trying to hide our laughter.

"What the fuck?" I heard Sam curse causing me to laugh a little bit.

They slowly walk in, looking around at everything. Once we were all inside, they looked at all of us.

"Alright, who did this?" Sam asked laughing. I could tell he wasn't mad or anything.

"That's a good question. Too bad my lips are sealed, mate." We all made a deal to not say who did what prank.

I helped them bring their stuff to their rooms so I could see their reactions.

They opened their doors at the same time and both cursed while laughing.

"You're lucky I'm jetlagged or I would beat all of your asses." Colby threatened which made me smile.

They think the balls are the prank. Too bad they don't know about their clothes just yet.

"You feeling okay?" I ask looking at Colby. He nodded his head while sitting his bags down.

"I think I'm gonna shower. You wanna chill in here?" He asked as I nodded.

I went over and laid on his bed. He went to his bathroom so he could shower.

I messaged the groupchat that doesn't have Sam and Colby in it and told them that Colby's about to shower.

When I heard it kick on, I couldn't help but snicker a little. I spent the whole time talking to my friends about their reaction.

After ten minutes, he comes out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist.

I couldn't help but look over at him. I could hear him chuckle a little. "How are the flies tasting?" He asked about my mouth hanging open.

I instantly close it while I watch him go to his drawer. If only he knew what was about to happen.

I lowkey started filming him so I can get his reaction. He opened his drawer while I tried to not laugh.

I could see the confusion flash all over his voice. "What the fuck?" He asked as I started laughing.

He looked at me with confusion all over his face. "You wanna explain why Sam's clothes are in my dresser?" He asked with laughter in his voice.

I just shrug while looking over at him. "I don't know, you're the one who put them there." I make up.

He looks at me like he doesn't believe me. "Don't you dare gaslight me, Ashton." I busted out in laughter.

"When my jet lag is gone, I'm so getting you back." He threatened. He went to Sams room to gather some clothes and changed.

We spent the next hour and a half cleaning up all the balls, putting them in trash bags.

Once done, I could tell how tired Colby was from the jetlag. It was almost nine o'clock once everyone had left.

"You wanna go lay down upstairs?" I ask him. He nods his head and follows me upstairs.

He goes over to his bed and flops down on his bed. "You don't understand how much I missed my bed." He mumbled into his pillow.

I laugh a little as I join him on the bed. "Oh so, you didn't miss me?" I asked him jokingly.

He turned his face over to look at me. "Of course I missed you, baby. I was worried about you everyday." He admitted.

"You were in another country, and you were worried about me?" I ask shocked.

"Of course, like what if some dude hit on you while I was gone and I couldn't be there to fight him?" He asked me.

I smile at the thought of him wanting to protect me like that. It shows how much he cares about me.

"Well, good thing that didn't happen." I tease him a little bit. I was honestly super happy that he's back home and with me.

It honestly makes me feel a lot better. Having Colby back was honestly amazing.

It felt like he took part of my heart with him when he left. And now he's back with the piece of me.

We watched Netflix while we laid on his bed. As I was watching my show, I could hear soft snoring.

I look over to see Colby asleep next to me. He looked so peaceful. I exhale a breath while turning the tv off.

I get comfortable and lay down fully. I look over at the brunette to see him peacefully asleep.

He looked so worn out when he flew back. As I was looking at him, that's when I realized my feelings for him.

I love Colby. He's the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. I don't want to lose him, I'm terrified of the thought.

Then again, it would be amazing to have my heart broken by him.

I'm just thrilled he's back.
