Did Colby and I just kiss?!

I sat there in his arms, bridal style, staring into his eyes.
"Did we just-" I stuttered, he interrupted, "We did."

I smiled and he did too. In that moment I didn't care about anything else but him and getting a house.

He put me down and we started walking back up to the car. We drove his house. The car ride wasn't quiet, we did talk. That wasn't awkward at all. We both like it. Both wanted it.

When we got there Elton stopped us, "Who's this?"
Colby answered, "Kathryn."
Elton laughed, "You're acting coversating with a girl?!" He kept laughing.
I looked up at him, and shrugged.

"Yes Elton. She's my..." I knew he had to saw friend, "Friend."
"Okay Colby you go have fun. But not to much fun." Elton responded walking to the gaming room.

I chuckled, "Let's just go."
"Agreed." Colby laughed, as we walked up the stairs into his room.

Him and I were talking as the hours went by. I decided on a house; the second one. The thing is I couldn't move in till next week, because the company is still working on the house. They said it will be done next week and I can move in.

I guess Colby saw how upset that made me, "Kathryn. This is just a suggestion but..you can..uh-"
"What?" I stopped him from stuttering.
He took a deep breathe then said, "Say with me, until the house..is finished."

"Colby." I have to make him feel comfortable around me, "I'd love that."
He smiled at me with his pretty, white teeth smile.

I decided to text Emilio and tell him what's going on:
(Me)
I'm sorry you had to worry about me today, but I've been looking for a house. I found one but I can't move into it until next week.
(Emilio)
Really? That's what you've been doing.
(Me)
Yeah. Colby has actually been helping me.
(Emilio)
Why are you with him all the time?
(Me)
Because. He's my friend.
(Emilio)
Hopefully Jake doesn't find out about this and tries to beat him up or something. Jake he's gotten really salty when it comes to you.
(Me)
I know.
(Emilio)
Do you like him?
(Me)
Jake?
(Emilio)
Well yeah, but not who I'm talking about. Colby?
(Me)
I like Jake as a friend now. Not as a boyfriend. And Colby, yes I like him. We might've..
(Emilio)
You didn't.
(Me)
We kissed.
(Emilio)
Thank god! I thought it was something else.
(Me)
Omg Emilio. No!
(Emilio)
I know now. Lol sorry
(Me)
I have to go. I'll text you later. Bye.
(Emilio)
Please don't forget!
(Me)
I won't.

"You talking to Emilio?" Colby asked, walking up to me, sitting on his bed.
I nodded, putting my phone in my back pocket, "Colby, Jake's either cheating on me or using me for clickbait, or..or.. both!"

I started to tear up to the thought of it. It doesn't help that I honestly just want to end it and I don't understand. If I'm not good enough, why are you dating me? Like honestly, if you will please just breakup with me so it doesn't hurt as bad as getting cheated on.

"Listen to me," he looked me in the eyes, "If he does that to you, I say you end it. Break up with him. I'm not just saying for myself either. I'm saying it for you."
I fluttered my eyes so the tears wouldn't fall out, "I'm going to. Not now.."
"Why? If he's hurting you so bad." Colby asked.
I answered with a stutter, "Because. I want to make sure."
"Then..you do that. If that's what you want." He's so supportive.
