What the hell have I done.

I curled up in the passengers seat and ran my fingers through my hair for the billionth time in the past five minutes. After crossing paths, we all decided to drive to the Prices' and talk things out there. Colby took the wheel, I ride shotgun, Chelsea fell asleep in the seat behind Colby, and James has kept silent in the seat behind me.

"I can't take this silence" I mutter while turning on the radio to a random station.

I close my eyes and listen to the crappy over-auto tuned music. I moved to change the station but Colby was already changing it, one of my favorite songs came on and my ears perked up.

I closed my eyes again and bobbed my head to the music. Colby's hand stroked my knee soothingly for the rest of the ride and I couldn't suppress the smile that formed on my lips.

"We're here" Colby parked the car and his presence on my knee was gone, leaving me craving the warmth again.

We all got out of the car rather grudgingly. I wrapped my arms around myself and fast walked into the house.

"We have to talk" Chelsea said, looking flustered "None of this should've happened, I was drunk. It's all my fault, if I didn't ditch Colby he wouldn't have gone to Janine and I wouldn't have been with James"

"It's my fault too,I shouldn't have done what I did" Colby's face fell with every word "I'm sorry I took advantage of you Colby"

"Me too" he tugged at the ends of his curly brown hair.

"Okay if this is all sorted out I'm going to bed" Chelsea yawned

"Janine I can't deny how I feel about you, If you can forgive me we could be together" James took my hands in his.

"I-I'm not looking for anything serious, I'm sorry, but I'm not that girl anymore" I meant for my words to come out boldly but they sounded forced and unreal.

"Anymore?" Chelsea asked with a raised brow.

"People change" I said vaguely.

"Whatever" Chelsea redirected her attention to Colby who was leaning against the back wall with a somber expression on his face. "Colby I forgive you, and you've forgiven me"

I watched as she went to kiss him but he turned his cheek so her lips didn't reach his.

"I haven't forgiven you just yet" Colby said grimly as he trekked up the stairs to what I'm assuming is the guest room.

James followed suit and Chelsea and I walked to our respected bedrooms.

When I opened my bedroom door and strong arms wrapped around my waist and a hand covered my mouth. I looked up to see Colby's electric green eyes and a smirk playing his lips. He released me and I tugged my leather jacket off and threw it onto the floor next to my closet.

"Can I sleep here?" he asked with an innocent expression on his face.

"Guess so" I sighed and kicked my heels off "I'm going to go change into my pajamas"

"Nothing I haven't seen" he took his black tee shirt off and threw it at me.

I turned my back to him and removed the bustier and skirt and tugged his warm tee shirt on. I pulled my hair out of the shirt collar and crawled into the bed where Colby was stretched out on in only his boxers.

"Goodnight" I whispered as I turned the light off, I moved to the far end of the bed so I didn't have to touch him.

"Goodnight kitten" he whispered back while pulling my into his chest.

So much for my plan.

"Wake up" someone whispered

I groaned and turned around when my body collided with a hard surface. My eyes shot open and I was face to chest with Colby's toned, tan, and overall gorgeous chest. I squeaked and sat up straight.

"You scared the shit out of my" I swatted his hands away from me.

"Did you sleep well" he rasped with the sexiest morning voice I have ever heard. He lazily wrapped an arm around my waist and rested his head on my lap while I rested mine on the headboard and ran my fingers through his chocolate curls.

"We should stop this" I whispered as I fisted a handful of curls.

"We should" he kissed my thigh "but it feels too right"

"That's what scares me" I released his hair and squirmed until I could get off the bed. "You should go"

"Thanks for the shirt" I went to my dresser and pulled out a tank top. I motioned to take his black tee shirt off.

"Keep it" Colby placed a chaste kiss on my forehead and opened my bedroom door "I'll get one from Chelsea" he muttered the last part but I heard it loud and clear.

This is why we can't be.

"Goodbye"

"See you later" he flashed me a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

After he left, I documented last night's events in my diary. I took a long bubble bath and changed out of his shirt, which I folded and placed at the very back of my dresser.

I dressed in a cozy oversized sweater and black leggings. I let my hair down in its natural waves and swapped my contacts out for my black rimmed glasses. Today, I've decided I'm going to spend the day in the back garden. I put on my tan colored moccasins. On my way out of the room I grabbed my phone and shut the door behind me.

"Ani!" Only one person calls me that, one person I though hated me.

"Chelsea" I sighed and turned to see her running towards me wearing a aqua body con dress and clunky silver heels.

"I'm going out with James" she smirked "I hope you don't mind"

"Not at all" I forced a smile and continued walking until I was in my safe haven under a tall flower tree in the backyard.

I thought I was the one playing the slut.

Kind a filler chapter, but I have some information in regards to the questions i got because of the last chapter. JANINE WAS NOT A VIRGIN WHEN SHE SLEPT WITH COLBY. it was never stated that she was a virgin.

I'll leave you guys with a thought:
Why do you think Janine left Colorado?
