Stepping into the huge dining hall feels surreal. You've never been in a place as beautiful or expensive as this and you're in complete awe.
The high ceilings are adorned with impressively detailed diamond chandeliers. One side of the dining hall is a floor-to-ceiling wall of windows that overlooks the ocean. It's beautiful.
Colby leads you to a white table with a notecard marked "Brock" and pulls out the chair for you. You sit and thank him. He sits across from you and looks around for a second.
They start to do some announcements and things like that on stage but you're not really paying attention to what they're saying.
Colby's distracted by how pretty you look so he isn't really listening either. You catch him staring at you a couple times and laugh.
"I'm sorry, you look absolutely beautiful."
You can feel your cheeks start to get hot and hope no one sees you blushing. You smile at him, feeling a little self conscious for some reason.
You order a sparkling water but that's about all you really feel like having. You're not very hungry right now and neither is he.
After about ten minutes, when everyone was settled in their seats, they announce the first slow dance of the night. You look at Colby, nervous to be out in front of everybody.
"Can I have this dance?" He puts his hand out and laughs.
You find yourself nodding after a second or two and laughing as well. Both of you get up and make your way out to the dance floor with the other people.
They get the music going and everyone starts to dance. You hesitate before stepping out there but in the end follow him.
You find an open spot to stand and he puts his hands on your hips. You loosely put your arms around his neck and start to dance. He sees that you're kind of nervous.
"Don't be scared baby, I'm right here."
You look up and feel a smile forming. Even just looking at him, you feel calmer.
"Just so you know, they're all jealous of you. You look perfect." You kiss him and he smiles.
You look around as you dance and see that a lot of them are watching you and Colby. Many of them are commenting on your dress and hair and makeup.
Unexpectedly, he spins you around and dips you backwards. When you spin, the dress puffs out a little and a lot of the ladies say wow. You laugh as he pulls you back up and he smiles.
You dance for a minute or so more before the song ends and you go to sit down. Already, your feet are hurting a little bit but you don't want to take any of it off.
The whole time, Colby proudly shows you off on the dance floor and even just sitting at the table. Wherever you walk together, he makes sure you're in front so everyone can see. You smile and thank people who compliment you.
There's a few more songs to dance to but it's realistically only about an hour and a half before you start to get tired. A lot of the ladies were getting tired as well and some couples had already left.
Colby notices.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, just kinda tired. My feet are starting to hurt."
"I'm getting tired too. We can call it a night and head back to the room if you want."
"No, if you wanna stay longer we can. I'll be fine."
"There's not much else to do here really. We already danced and all that so I'm good."
You don't want to ruin his fun because he seemed to be having a really good time. You were too, but you were just tired.
"I'll be okay with it either way. I think it'll be really nice to get comfy though, this suit is hot."
You laugh at his comment and nod. You grab your wristlet and take Colby's hand. You say bye to a few of the girls there that you sort of became friends with. You had exchanged numbers earlier and they seemed pretty chill.
He lets you walk in front again and you lead him out to the lobby beyond the dining hall's doorway. You're limping a little bit because the shoes really are hurting your feet.
You make it to the elevator and then to your room and as soon as he unlocks it, you take the shoes off and admire them one more time before putting them in your suitcase.
You take off all your makeup and put your hair into a cute messy bun. You throw on a pair of comfy shorts and leave the crop top part on to go ask Colby for one of his hoodies. He's already changed out of the suit and hung it up in the bag. He's wearing black mesh basketball shorts without a shirt.
You walk out and he's standing at the sliding glass door, taking a picture. You wrap your arms around his stomach and lay your head against his back.
"Colbyyy..."
"Yeah baby?"
"Can I wear one of your hoodies tonightttt?"
He laughs.
"Sure. They're in my black bag out by the couch."
You practically run to go get one. You pick out the purple Champion hoodie and go change into it. It smells so good when you put it on.
You go back out to where he is and he smiles as he sees you.
You yawn and pick up your phone, checking the time. It reads 1:46 am.
He tosses his phone on the bed and sits down.
"I thought you wanted to swim tonight?"
"Yeah, I did..."
Colby laughs.
"You seem really tired. We can swim tomorrow if you want to. There's still 4 days left before we have to leave."
You really do want to swim but you're so tired from dancing all night.
"Yeah, that sounds better honestly. I'm about to pass out anyway," you say, laughing.
Colby nods and crawls under the covers. He's pretty tired too. He puts his phone on the charger and you do the same on the other side of the bed. You stand and stretch for a minute or so before you too get in bed. You kiss him goodnight.
You lay down with your back to him. It's incredibly comfy and as soon as you lay down you don't feel any more pain from standing.
"Night Colbs, love you."
"Love you too."
There's about a ten minute span of time where it's utterly silent. You're cozy in his hoodie and just happy.
Randomly, he pokes your shoulder. You turn around slightly.
"What?"
"Can we cuddle?"
You smile.
"Sure baby."
You lay on your back and he moves closer to you. He rests his head on your shoulder, up against your neck and wraps his arms around your waist. You put your arm under his head and play with his hair for a second before laying your hand on his cheek. You can feel him smile as he snuggles closer.
"Good?"
He nods.
"Also, I just wanted to say that you looked fucking perfect tonight. I felt like some kind of king when I was out there with you."
You feel your cheeks get warm again and smile.
"I didn't look all that impressive but I'm glad you liked it," you laugh.
"Whatever you say... you were the prettiest one out there by far."
He kisses your neck a couple times and you lean your head back.
"Just remember that even if you don't think you look amazing I promise that you do."
"Aww Colby..."
"I mean it. I love you beautiful."
"I love you too baby."
He hugs you tighter and you gently rub your thumb against his jaw. He falls asleep not long after and you do the same.
