Why do these things always happen to me?

Chapter: 3

”Sure” Colton answered my question. My eyes widened, Out of all people I didn’t think Colton would want to.

   I felt a slight rush, flow through my veins as I realized I was going to have to be alone with him. Part of me was happy at the idea, another part scared. What if I say something stupid and he laughs at me? What am I going to even say at all for that matter?

   I was brought back from my thoughts as I felt a million pins and needles shoot up my arm; it was the same sensation as when I cut. I turned to see what had caused such an amazing feeling, but felt my stomach drop as I came face to face with Colton.

   “Are you coming?” he asked me sweetly flashing a killer smile.

   “Obviously” I replied smiling sweetly as I followed him out the door to the stairs. I walked casually down them trying to play it cool.

   Once at the bottom, I was greeted by Colton holding the door open for me.

  “Thanks” I said quietly.

  “No problem” He said calmly. I watched him place a smoke between his lips, he patted his pockets lightly. Looking for a lighter I assume. Before I knew what I was doing I held out my lighter, as the flame flickered he smiled slightly before taking a pull lighting the cigarette.

   “Why thank-you” he said in a melody like voice.

   “Anytime” I replied as I lit my own smoke.

  “I’ll hold you to that” he said while sending me a wink.

As I was about to say something I was cut off by the sound of the song Payback by Attila. I watched Colton pull out a cell phone and answer it.

”Hey” He said coolly. I couldn’t hear the voice on the other end. But Colton replied to the scratchy sound of someone’s voice.

”Yah, Uh huh… No I can come tonight, staying at Skylar’s…Of course. No I’m fine. Love you too” he finished as he snapped his phone shut.

He noticed me staring so he shook his head lightly,

”Boyfriends now a days eh?” My head sunk as he said than… Was Colton gay?!

”Boyfriend?” I questioned while raising an eyebrow.

”Yes? Aha, I’m bisexual. So yes I do date boys.” He said shyly while looking down.

   A siring pain pricked my finger, looking down to see that my smoke was done I threw it to the ground. After what I had just heard I really didn’t know what to say. I was disappointed at the fact that Colton wasn’t single... but yet turned on a thought of him kissing another guy.

   “Shit, you aren’t one of those people who hate gays?” he said looking slightly scared.

   “No of course not!” I yelled slightly taken back at my sudden shoot of energy.

  “Okay good, because even if you were you’d have to learn to put up with me, considering I’m here almost every day.” He laughed.

   The sound of his laugh made me smile. It was pure happiness not the bullshit kind I’ve been hearing the past few days. Looking at my shoes, not wanting it to seem like I was staring I felt a rain drop hit my nose.

  “Can we go inside now please” I begged with pleading eyes.

”Sure, I was waiting for you anyways” He smiled at my helpless looking face.
