To Catch A Star

Chapter Twelve

(Home Visits)

Colby thanked Renee and Jon before shutting the door and entering his home. He was greeted by his dog, Kevin, who was yipping and wagging his tail excitedly,

"Hey boy, how're you doing? Missed you buddy".

He picked him up, making his way to his kitchen where he knew his parents would have put the mail for him. Junk, junk, bill, junk.... Nothing of importance. He grabbed a drink (his mum always made sure his shelves were stocked for when he came home) and took Kevin to the sofa with him. Throwing himself down, he picked up the remote and decided to put some junk on the tv – to be honest a nap sounded great right about now. Planes always took it out of him. He settled with Kevin on his stomach and let the tv bore him into slumber.

Andi ran at her daughter through the airport like a complete maniac, Jason was chuckling whilst her daughter was hugging just as tightly back.

"Welcome home short stack"

Jason said ruffling her hair.

"Good to be home, how're you? How is everyone?"

She replied fondly. She was eager to see her family but her main focus was on her daughter who completely cut off her conversation with Jason, retelling stories of school, her cousins and her grandparents. Andi shared an apologetic look with Jason, who merely smiled back in reassurance that he was not bothered by his daughters rambling.

They made their way through the airport and got to the car to go home, home. Andi couldn't wait to get there; she'd been looking forwards to being in a familiar space... Once there, Jason made drinks while Andi slumped on her chair, still listening to her daughter with rapt attention. A couple of hours later, she dozed off, obviously she needed the nap.

Colby woke from his nap feeling refreshed but in desperate need of a shower. He turned on the coffee pot to heat up before heading upstairs. He took his time, missing the amazing water pressure and heat that was missing at the complex... he'd have to talk to Hunter about that.

Going back down, he poured his coffee then took a deep drink letting it near-burn his throat before checking his phone. A couple of texts from his mum and Jon but a million emails about his school (Black and Brave), his personal fitness programme (DeadBoys Fitness) and from his boss. He sent quick texts back before looking through the emails, groaning at the sheer amount – boss first.

Once he got through a good amount, he collared up his dog to go for a run. As he ran, he thought back to the programme his bosses had assigned him to. At first his intentions were to train at the programme to keep his job whilst being on hiatus from in-ring wrestling but it had changed over the last couple of weeks. He now wanted to help these people, he wanted to be a part of their journey's and he knew that that was down to his new friend... Andi had become his confidant (along with Jon), a friend who made him forget his poor decisions and a distraction that was most welcomed. He smiled at the thought of her arguing with him, Seth Freakin' Rollins, about wrestling! She amused him to no end, and he was currently living to make her blush as much as possible – it was so easy!

Once Colby finished his run, his dog now tired out, he went back to his emails but planned to visit his other business ventures starting with DeadBoys...
