If You Wanna Be Loved

20: The End: It Is Official

I woke up sometime early, but I decided not to look at my phone and go back to sleep. This happened a few more times until I felt my stomach starting to tie in knots, and I remembered it was about that time of the month. I rolled out of bed to see it still dark out, so I assumed it was still the middle of the night. I went to the bathroom and sure enough I got my period.

I could feel how bloated I was and my cramps were terrible.
I went and curled back in bed after taking some ibuprofen, and I tossed and turned for a long time. I felt awake and I couldn't get back to bed, so I checked my phone to see it say 5:23am.

Well I did go to bed before 7, which means I had slept like over 10 hours... no wonder why I wasn't tired.
Still, I just laid in bed for a while in silence in my thoughts, going in and out of sleep, or daydreams.

When the sun finally came up I got up and made myself some raspberry tea and curled up in a blanket on the couch. This was going to be one of my relaxing days.

I drank my tea and put some youtube on the tv, and I watched for a couple hours. It was about 8 o'clock when I checked my phone, and I realized i never opened the Snapchat that Colby had sent me. I opened it and he had sent another picture from the balcony and added "I'm about to head to bed too, I'm tired. I hope you sleep well."
I smiled and replied in the chat "so I slept for over 10 hours, must be a new record for me 😂"

Not even a minute later Colby opened it and messaged back.
"Haha same I just woke up like an hour ago. What are you up to today?"
I smiled and sent him a picture of myself snuggled on my couch. "It's a do nothing day, gotta love my time of the month."

I wasn't shy about my girl problems. I had never really brought it up to him before unless he was wanting to do something sexual and I had to turn him down, but he always understood. He replied in the chat: "oh no, not feeling too good?"
I replied: "no not really, the first day is always the worst. Good thing I don't need to do anything today."

I sent it and set my phone down. What a boring day. So much for wanting to work out today. About twenty minutes passed and I checked my phone to see Colby had opened my message but never replied. He probably got busy. I watched a couple more YouTube videos, I was watching some cut videos, like the video Colby had based his off of the first time we kissed.

In the middle of one of the videos I heard my phone buzzing, and I picked it up to see Colby calling. That was weird, he never called me... I hit answer.
"Hello?" I said though the phone.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked. He was too sweet.

"Well to be honest I feel like shit, how are you?" I asked. I heard him chuckle.
"I'll be better once you come open the door."

Just then I heard a light tap on my front door. I jumped a little but immediately starting to smile as I got off the couch, my heart skipping. "Colby..." I said through the phone suspiciously as i walked to the door. I took the chain off and opened it to see Colby in front of me.

One hand dropping the phone from his ear and the other holding a single yellow rose and a bag full of something I couldn't see. I slowly took my phone away from my ear as my eyes went from the flower to his blushing face.

"I don't know if you want company but I figured I could try and make your day better.." he said softly. A big smile formed on my face as he held out the flower. I took it from him and stepped back from the door so he could come in.

"Colby this is so nice, thank you" I said as he walked in and set the bag down on the counter.

I set the flower down next to it and walked into him, snuggling my head into his chest as his arms wrapped around me. When we pulled away Colby reached over to the bag.
