The Orchid (Colby Brock)

True Beauty (Chapter 19.)

- Brie's POV - 

I sat on the end of the bed nervously watching Colby flick through my sketches with a twinkle in his eyes. 

'These are amazing.' He said brushing his fingers across one of the many sketches.

'Uh, yeah something like that.' I muttered as I chewed the inside of my lip. I been to many art shows and seen so much art that mine kind of seemed basic and pretty boring. Colby's eyes drifted up towards mine. 

'Brie, these are awesome. Don't you do art shows or something?' I nodded. I painted a lot at home and have been in some art exhibitions but nothing major. 

'Yeah, a couple.' I said shortly. I didn't like the fact that Colby was looking through my art but I did lose a bet so what could I do?                                              

'Hey, you wanna do a video with me today?' Colby asked placing the sketch book down on the night stand. I shrugged. 

'Okayy, What type of video?' 

'Dunno got any ideas?' I smirked. 

'Yeah.' 

                                                                                              * * *

'Ok guys that's the video, I look amazing.' Colby said in his Colleen voice making me laugh. After Colby turned the camera off. He turned to face me, we decided to do the 'girlfriend does my makeup' challenge. He didn't look that bad apart from his left winged eyeliner where he decided to move and mess it up. It looked tragic. 

'I'm going to get the stuff off.' He getting up and heading for the bathroom. I sat alone listening to the tap turn on and the water begin to run. 

'Brieee! Why the fuck isn't it coming off?!' Colby screamed making me laugh. I walked into the pale white bathroom and grabbed my makeup remover and cotton pads. I proceeded to try wipe his makeup off. 

'Hold the fuck on.' He said grabbing my wrist and leaning his face backward to avoid my hand. I burst into a fit into laughter. 

'It's makeup remover you egg.' I said through my laughter. He let go of my wrist and let me take off the purple eye makeup, Colby was smiling at me. 

'What?' I said looking at him my eyebrows knitting together in confusing. 

'Nothing.' I rolled my eyes. 'It's just that you're so fucking beautiful.'  

'You're stupid.' I threw the cotton pad in the rubbish bin. He stood up and pulled me into him by my waist. My cheeked pressed against his chest. I felt so safe in his arms. 

'You find beauty in everything but yourself.' He said, kissing my forehead. I let out a sigh. 

'Suree.' 

                                                                             ***

I knocked on Kasey's door. I chewed the inside of my lip nervously. I had never been in this situation before or any sort of drama really. Shows how out going I am. 

Kasey answered looking sluggish and tired she was still in her pyjama pants she looked at me and rolled her eyes. 

'What?' She snapped. I blew out a puff of air. 

'Listen Kasey, I've come to sort things out. Will you come to dinner with me?' I looked at her with puppy dog eyes 'I'll shout.' I added winning her over. 

'Fine let me get ready.' She smirked. I helped her get ready and we headed out to the small cafe just across the road from the orchid. We sat in a small booth chatting about our situation while we waited on our lunch. I finally broke the news hat Colby and I were dating, praying she wouldn't get upset about it.

'I suppose I'm not to worried have you seen some of the boys around here?' 

'Yeah, real fit.' I laughed. I felt so good that Kasey and I had sorted everything out. We chatted the rest of the night away, laughing and giggling about all sorts of shit. We eventually went back to the orchid and ready for another day of bloody berry picking. I hugged Kasey goodbye and headed home. 

I walked home with a bounce in every step. I had gained my only friend back and she was completely okay with me dating Colby.
