Him. || Colby Brock

sixteen.

Rebecca's POV

-

The next morning, I wake up alone in bed. I sit up for a moment before looking around and rubbing my eyes. The smell of something burning slaps me in the face and I check the time on my phone, 10:57. Huh, he's up early. I grab one of Colby's shirts and pull it on as well as a new pair of underwear before walking toward the kitchen. When I walk through the doorway, the first I see is a shirtless Colby standing over the stove, cooking breakfast, but kind of failing. I walk up to him and wrap my arms around him from behind.

"Good morning," I say as I place a small kiss on his bare shoulder.

"Morning baby," he says and turns around to face me.

"How did you sleep?" He asks.

"I slept pretty good, I didn't have any dreams," I tell him truthfully and he hugs me.

"Good," he states simply and I pull away from him.

"So, I um.. I tried to make breakfast," he says scratching the back of his neck and I laugh at him.

"Yes, I see that," I tell him as I look behind him at the plate of burnt bacon.

"It's not that hard to make bacon Colby," I tell him with a laugh and he crosses his arms.

"Hey, at least I tried, it's the thought that counts," he pouts and and I giggle at him.

"Thank you," I say and a smile spreads across his face.

"You're welcome."

I unwrap my arms from around him and make my way over to the stove, taking the pan off of the top and walk over to the trash can, tossing the burnt contents. Colby sits himself on the countertop, watching me as a make our breakfast.

"What do you want to do today?" He asks as I pour the eggs onto the pan. I simply shrug my shoulders without turning around.

"I dunno," I state and he doesn't reply.

I finish the eggs and bacon shortly and he hops down off of the counter, pilling his plate with food.

"Thanks baby," he says as he places a kiss on the top of my head.

"You're welcome," I say as I smile up at him.

I follow him into the living room and we plop down, eating our meal on the couch. I turn on the tv, finally deciding on watching The Office. Colby and I don't speak up that much as we eat, only laughing a bit at the show.

"I was thinking about maybe hanging out with Brennen today, is that okay? I mean, you and I could do something if you want.." Colby speaks up after a few minutes.

"Yeah, of course. You should spend sometime with him, I don't want to keep you from hanging out with your friends," I tell him truthfully and he nods, getting up from the couch.

"Okay, well I'm gonna get ready. Thanks again for breakfast," he says, taking my plate along with his into the kitchen. 

"Okay, no problem," I tell him as I return my attention back to the show. Trying to plan out my day, I contemplate on the idea of just staying at home, doing nothing until Sam gets back from Corey's. Nah, that will just be really boring.

I finally decide that I will just run out and get groceries and stuff when Colby leaves.

As I wait for him to get out of the shower, I wash the dishes in the sink, putting them back in their place. I also pick up random little pieces of trash from around the house, throwing them away. These two never throw anything away. Men.

As Colby walks out the door with Brennen, I start getting ready. I hop in the shower, taking a short amount of time. When I get out, I just simply throw my hair up into a messy bun and start getting dressed. I throw on some black skinny jeans and a distressed Metallica t-shirt. I put on a light amount of makeup and throw on my vans before grabbing my things and heading out the door.

Since Colby left with Brennen, I take his car. I'm sure he won't mind. I make the short drive to the grocery store and find a parking place before heading inside and grabbing a cart. As I start walking down the aisles, grabbing the things we need, a strange feeling settles in the pit of my stomach. I look up and down the small section, not seeing anyone around me. I take a deep breath and tell myself that it's nothing, it's just a feeling.

As I make my way through the store, the feeling grows and the more I try to push it aside, the more it claws its way back into my thoughts. I notice a guy standing behind me, examining the shelf in front of me before pulling something off and throwing it into his cart. He's a pretty attractive guy, looking to be somewhere in his mid or late twenties. To any other person, he would just seem like a normal person, but not to me. He gives me weird vibes.

I soon find myself wishing Colby was by my side. I don't feel safe. I hurry through the store, most likely missing a bunch of things we need but I don't care. I hurry to the checkout, glancing around me as the cashier scans my items, looking for the guy. I don't see him anywhere, so I return my attention back to the cashier. She gives me my total, and I hand her the money. She gives me my receipt and I push my buggy, hurrying back to the car.

After shoving everything in the trunk, I put the cart in the buggy return and speed out of the parking lot. I initially planned on going to the mall as well, but I just want to go home. I can barely focus on the road, my mind being clouded with thoughts of that guy. Who is he? And why did he give me such a strange feeling?

I try my best to convince myself that he's just some random dude, and that I have no reason to be afraid of him. I tell myself not to worry because I'll never have to see him again but something inside, no matter how hard I try to ignore it, is telling me otherwise.
