Instagram strangers to lovers

Chapter 4

Eventually Colby, Sam, and I exchanged all social medias with each other due to my lack of being on instagram all the time. I walk downstairs to make coffee as I see Lily just as she says"hey so your talking to Colby right?"
"Yes why?"
"Just curious due to the fact Jake and I feel like you guys would be the cutest together..."
"Thank you, I really like him a lot honestly."
   "Your welcome maybe one day you can fly out to la to meet him in person."
   "That's sounds like a great idea honestly."
  She smiles walking to her room as  I get a snap from Colby:

   I smile as I snap back:

I caption it with 'good morning Colb.'
He soon messages me saying damn your so fucking beautiful....
  Grey: thank you, you not to bad yourself
  Colby: anytime, you know I'm surprised you don't have a boyfriend honestly. Your such an amazing person.
   Grey: awe🥲thanks boo boo and I don't see how you don't have a girl friend ya know. You would be a great boyfriend.❤️
  Colby: thank you so wanna video call later ?  Maybe actually talk on the phone.
Grey: yeah I need your number silly.
  We exchange numbers  just like Sam and I did the other day and I smile to myself as he says "you know I think I may be catching feelings... but not sure what kind.
  Grey: really? Same here but can't figure out how to process them.
  Colby: come to La sometime and maybe we can process them together ya know?
  Grey: I'll consider that.
  Colby: that's great! How's your morning been?
  Grey: busy af. I have to open up my business and my night crew left it mess😢 like trash wasn't taking out and everything nothing was out on our page like I am so annoyed.
   Colby: they should help you if you come in everyday to clean up...like don't leave it all for one person actually help.
  Grey: my point exactly like nothing was cleaned so I may have to clean the whole place up again😭
Colby: if I was there I would help you.
  Grey: I appreciate it
  Colby: no problem so just wondering, would you and Lily like to go to Chernobyl with us in a few weeks.
   Grey: yes that would be awesome! Lily would love that a lot she has always wanted to see it and so have I.
At that point he stops texting as I get a FaceTime call from my new contact Colbear❤️
   I answer it as he says"hey you"
   I smile chucking "hey what's up?"
  "Laying here on my bed editing this video..."
  "Nice"
I pick up the trash as he says"can I tell you something?..."
   "Yeah what's up Colbear?"
  "So I like this girl and I wanna tell her but it's more of I love her but I don't want her to run."
  "You may just have to tell her Colbs"
"True I will soon just not right now"
  "Good."
  "Also what's your real name and why do you go by Grey?"
  "My name is actually Greyson. What's your real name?"
  "Cole."
   "That's actually a cute name"
   "Really?"
   "Yeah and it fits you"
He smiles as my heart skips a beat again as he says "so how long have you lived in New York?"
"A few years now we was first living in South Carolina but we thought New York would be better."
"It's okay to make the change Grey, get out of your comfort zone what's stopping you from doing that?"
"Everything..."
"Like what?"
Well you seen I like this guy but I don't know if he feels the same or not. Overall kinda scared due to my last relationship being so fucking toxic.."
"I'm sure that person isn't like that all, you don't deserve any of that..."
I smile"thanks colby"
"Your welcome"
"I'm gonna be complete honest I wish I could hug you right now grey. I don't know why you look like you need a hug.."
"I do but it's okay I'm sure I'll see you soon okay"
"Okay I gotta get off here but hopefully I'll see you guys soon."
"Okay bye"
I hang up as I smile to myself as I call lily into my room.
"So we gotta go to la in a few months because...
"Why?"
"We are going to Chernobyl with Sam and Colby..."
She squeals as she says"omg I can't wait!!!!"
I smile as Colby snap chats me again.

I smile as I say"your so fucking cute Colby Brock"
As I send the picture:

He messages me back and says"damn your so fucking beautiful❤️
While blushing at his words, lily says "tell him sis."
