Ocean Eyes

6

"Careful creature made friends with time. He left her lonely with a diamond mind. And those ocean eyes."

    I melt every time I see him. The days went by and we only communicated through text or his live streams. We haven't found the time to hang out again in person, neither of us were busy though. We both seemed to be doing nothing but he claims to be doing everything. I ask, he declines.

    As Colby talks to his fans in live, they ask what he's been doing. He shrugs and answers with, "nothing." In the most monotoned voice ever. My heart breaks. But I keep texting him, I keep talking to him over his lives because I can't seem to get enough. I can't seem to stay away from him. His voice, his smile, his hair, and oh god... his eyes. Even seeing them on a screen makes my heart beat faster and my stomach flutter with nerves.

    I miss him.

    As his live stream ends and the screen goes blank, I bit my lip and close my laptop. My heart breaks, wanting to meet with him again. I wanted to know him. I wanted to do everything and nothing with him. A tear slides down my cheek. I scoff and wipe away the sadness.

    "Why am I feeling like this?" I mumbled to myself as I leaned back on the grey couch and rubbed my face. My throat still burns from the hurt but I refuse to fuel my sadness. My phone bings then buzzes beside me. I look over at it on the other side of the couch. I watch the bright screen until it goes black. I sighed.

    Reaching over, I grab the device and see it's a text from Colby.

Colby:
Hey!
How's it been?

Sam:
Hello, it's been nice. How it been for you?

Colby:
Eh, same old same old

Sam:
nice

Colby:
So, I was wondering if you wanted to hang out tomorrow? Maybe get breakfast again then hang out for the rest of the day?

My eyes widened. My heart stops.

Sam:
Sure! When? Where?

Colby:
Same place at 8.

Sam:
Okay! I'll see ya at 8

Colby:
See you then!
Let's make this a thing.
Every Thursday let's go to IHOP at 8 and hang out.

Sam:
I mean, sure! Let's just hope none of our schedules collide on Thursdays then XD

Colby:
Let's hope!!
I'll see you tomorrow :)

Sam:
Yeah, see ya :)

I turned off my phone and laid back. A smile stretched onto my face and the giddy feeling came back in my stomach.

I was excited for tomorrow.
