An Angel Moved Next Door- Colby Brock

Chapter 20

WORDS: 1083

"Colby," Kat's voice called through before she entered. Colby looking away gave me the strength to look away too. Kat walked in wearing leggings and an old top. "Shouldn't you be getting changed?" She questioned, Colby looked down at his clothes before chuckling.

"Guess I should," He shrugged. He sent me another smile before getting up and heading out. I watched as he walked away and smiled as he turned around to smile at me a final time before leaving. Kat stood off to the side, opening the paints. I hurried to her side. She instantly stopped what she was doing to send me a smile. I grinned widely.

"I hate to say it but I'm falling for him," I explained quickly in a slight whisper. Kat gasped, and a bright smile stretched her lips.

"What?" She asked excitedly, a little louder than she intended. She quickly covered her mouth but squealed and jumped on the spot. I laughed at her joy before she wrapped me in a spine-crushing hug. I chuckled as I hugged her back. "This is amazing, I am so happy for you both," She explained and my cheeks instantly hurt from smiling so much. She pulled away from the hug and squealed. I chuckled as I shook my head. "What are you going to do about it?" She asked so I sighed slightly as I turned my attention to the paints and started opening the ones Kat had discarded.

"Nothing... yet. I just met him last night, I don't even know anything about him," I explained sadly, I'd give anything to know how it would feel to be loved by Colby, to wake up beside him every morning, to kiss him and hug him. I sighed as I pushed my hair out of my face. Kat sighed sadly for me.

"Going forward you should spend as much time with him as possible and when you're ready make a move," She explained making me smile.

"You're right I just-" I sighed. "Kat, I've never fallen for someone so quick and It's never this intense," I slumped on the couch with yet another sigh.

"Danni," Kat took a seat beside me. I smiled weakly. "We know Colby is head over heels for you, the scariest part is over. There's no way in hell he'll change his mind, you're amazing. As soon as you're ready make the move and he'll instantly reciprocate. He's probably upstairs telling Sam he's in love with you right now. You have nothing to worry about," She explained making me laugh occasionally but she had a point. I smiled as I nodded.

"You're so right, thank you," I hugged her happily. I, once again, mentally thanked every star in existence that I was lucky enough to move next to such amazing people.

COLBY'S POV:

I sent Danni a final smile before I left the room. God, she's perfect! I need to know if she likes me back, it's driving me crazy. If she does she'd tell Kat and Kat tells Sam everything. I ran as fast as I could to Sam's room.

"Yeah," He called through once I knocked on his door. I opened the door, stepped in and closed it behind me for some privacy. As soon as Sam noticed it was me, he chuckled and gave me his full attention, putting the camera down. I smiled to be polite as I sat on the bed behind the desk chair he was sitting in, he effortlessly spun to face me. I sighed.

"Has she told Kat she likes me? I need to know, it's driving me crazy," I groaned, ready to beg for information. Sam winced slightly. My heart sank. I flopped back on the bed with an overwhelming want to pull my hair out.

"She hasn't said the words but Kat is almost 100% sure she likes you," Sam tried but I groaned that's still not an answer. "She's probably downstairs telling Kat she likes you right now," He added but I rolled my eyes.

"We don't know that," I sighed as I sat up to look at him. "Sam," I struggled to find my words but I pictured her beautiful smiling face and my words came back to me. "I'm in love with her," I finally said it. It felt like a huge weight lifted off my chest. Even though he knows how much I like her, he still seemed shocked. In all the years we've been best friends he's never heard me say I love someone romantically. I genuinely believed I was A-sexual but Danni makes me feel warm inside. She makes me feel loved. It's not just a sexual thing either, when she changed in front of me, my mind wasn't just sex it was also full of wishes. Wishing to see her every day, to cuddle her all night while she sleeps, to kiss her softly, to know she's mine and no one else's. It hurts loving her so much and not knowing if she could learn to love me the same way but even if she was happy without me, a part of me would still be happy knowing she's smiling even if she's smiling for someone else. Sam took a deep breath, moving to take a seat on the bed beside me.

"Here's the plan, flirt more, make it so apparently obvious that she can't miss it. I'll get Kat to talk to her, and see if she can get anything out of her. As soon as I know I'll tell you. Try being alone with her as much as possible so if you're with her when I find out I'll message you with a thumbs-up emoji. She clearly likes you so try not to overthink it. I know it'll be hard but you've got this. I and Kat are always here for you, bro." Sam explained, he always seems to know what to say to help me.

"Thank you," I hugged him with a wide smile. "I hate this feeling, it's terrifying," I confessed with a sigh.

"Love is a scary thing but it's so beautiful too," I chuckled, nodding to agree with him. "Come on, let's get back to them," Sam added. I got up, thanking him again before heading to my room to change out of my Jeans.

 

SAM'S POV:

I headed to the camera, I grinned as I stopped the recording vowing to once again hide the footage like I did when she first arrived.
