Tears slid consistently down my face as I explained what had happened to Colby. I left out the kissing part. It meant nothing to me and would only upset Colby.
"How did he get up here?" Colby asked.
To be honest, I hadn't thought about that yet.
The lift requires a passcode so he'd need to know that.
Jasmine.
I didn't want to see her. I feared the worst. If she has involvement in Connor finding me, I can't deny that it fits. Perhaps her rushed, unexplained trip was more than I thought.
"I don't want to see Jasmine," I shake my head as more tears resurface. Colby pulls me into another long hug.
"Hey, we can stay here for the night," he suggests and I nod against his shoulder. "Use the time to clear your head."
I didn't want to let go of him but I did.
"I'm going to go get some sleep," I told him, standing up. I wanted some alone time.
Once inside my bedroom, I change my clothes and brush my hair out. Keeping occupied seemed like the best thing to do until I was able to fall asleep.
"Ella," Colby whispers from the door. I see him behind me in my mirror. "You are so damn beautiful."
What?
Awestruck, I turn around to look at the real him. I was literally just dressed in an oversized white t-shirt and underwear.
Holy crap I need pants on...!
My eyes dart frantically around the room in search of my jeans but I'd already stuffed them in the bag I'd put over by my door. I gave up as Colby got closer to me. He neither seemed to mind nor let his eyes drift below my face.
It fell silent for amount and I feel tension begin to accumulate; the white colour scheme of the room no longer making it feel so spacious. I spoke before the air got too thick.
"Um... need anything?"
"Uh, not really. I'm just scared to take my eyes off you now" Colby admits, diverting his gaze.
I stifle a smile. He's so sweet.
"Well I'd offer to uh," I glance at my bed, "but it's probably not big enough for the both of us"
"It's a king single. We can squeeze" he compromises.
I nod, glad that he wants to cuddle. I don't think I'd be able to survive the night alone. Well, I wouldn't have survived at all here in LA if it wasn't for Colby.
