The Orchid (Colby Brock)

Cannonball (Chapter 18.)

'Be my girlfriend?' My eyes widened with shock.

I was happy but confused. Colby was biting his lip staring at me intensely. 

'Well what about Kasey and Emily?' I said. 

'Fuck Kasey and Emily.' Colby took my hand. I was so surprised by his comment. 'I don't want them Brie, I want you.' I couldn't help but smile and blush a little. I leaned in and pressed my lips against his, I felt a smile form on Colby's lips. He stopped. 

'So will you be girlfriend?' He asked going back to being serious. 

'Of course.' I smiled and got on top of him my bum just above his wound so I wouldn't hurt him. I kissed him again. Our kissing getting more and more passionate until I finally stopped. 

'I'm going to make breakfast.' I got out of bed and slid on my slippers not wanting to feel the cold kitchen. I felt so happy, I began to crack eggs into a pot. I was going to cook scrambled eggs bacon and sausages, the hangover cure for Sam.

I was just putting the last piece of bacon onto a plate when I heard a 

'Ughhh why did I drink again.' A zombie looking Sam came through to the kitchen. I laughed and held a plate full of eggs, bacon and sausages toward him. He smiled. 

'What would I do without you?' I shrugged in reply smiling and grabbed mine and Colby's plate placing Colby's on the table and sitting down at the opposite end. Sam plopped himself down on the spare chair grabbing a piece of bacon and shoving it in his mouth. I passed him a fork. 

'At least use a fork.' I said in a jokingly way, Sam rolled his eyes and continued to eat his hands like an idiot. Colby came out of the bedroom shirtless yawning. He looked so hot, I couldn't help but grin. 

After breakfast we got ready to go to the river again. I wore my black bikini with an oversized t-shirt over top, I slipped on my sandals and grabbed my soft pink beach towel. We headed down the usual track toward the river. Once we reached our destination Sam and Colby immediately charged into the freezing river like complete lunatics. I took off my sandals and then my t-shirt. I heard a low wolf whistle. I looked at Colby and rolled my eyes. 

'Idiot.' I muttered under my breath while dipping my toes into the freezing water, maybe I wasn't going to go in the water today Colby came out of the water and toward. 

'Um, what did you just say?' He said in a goofy tone. 

'You're an idiot.' I repeated louder. Before I knew it Colby had picked me up in the fireman position and we were heading straight for the water. I started wriggling around and squealing. 

'Put me down! What are you doing?! Are you fucking daft?!' Despite my attempts I felt the icy cold water submerge around me. When I hit the surface and took a breath of air. 

'Daft? I knew you weren't completely American!' Sam exclaimed as if he were a genius, I rolled my eyes I thought he would get that I'm half British. 

'Yes Sam, my Father was British my Mother American.' I talked to him as if he was a preschooler.  I never really liked to talk about my family, my Dad passed when I was young and my Mum really struggled from that point on.  

'Rightttt, so you say British words like, like-'

'Daft.' 

'Yeah that's it.' Sometimes Sam acted like a complete idiot sometimes. 

'So you do you drink tea.' Sam spoke in a high pitch British accent. 

'Fuck offfff.' I spat as I began to climb up onto a rock that we had been jumping off of last time we were here. I attempted to splash Sam whilst doing a cannonball; it failed. Colby burst into a fit of laughter at my shitty cannonball. 

'Oh, I'd like to see you do any better.' I said. 

'Is this a competition?' He replied quickly as he squared up to me. 

'Hell yeah.' I said puffing out my chest as an attempt to be intimidating and giggling. Colby climbed up on the rock and proceeded to do a giant cannonball, I wasn't going to lie it was pretty good but I was so going to top it. I hoped onto the rock and as I was getting ready to jump, Colby spoke

'Wait, if I win I get to see your sketches.' I groaned in response. 

'But if I win you have to buy me pizza.' I said with a proud grin on my face Colby nodded thinking he was going to win, but now I was determined to win, I ran up and leaped into the water. 

'Brie won.' Sam said quickly. I cheered in reply while laughing I was getting pizza. 

'Hey no fair!' Colby called in objection. 'Brie had two jumps!' It was true, shit he was going to go all out to see my sketches. I could see the focus on Colby and I knew I had already lost. I must've been showing it on my face because Colby stopped 

'Don't worry babe, I'll still buy you pizza.' He winked and proceeded to do the biggest cannonball I had ever seen.
