"Just Friends"

Chapter 8

"Colby Brock what is this?" "Dinner.." That word took me by surprise. Colby never cooks. Usually im the one that makes the food or we go to chipotle or something like that. But Colby cooking? Hard to believe. I sat down on the leather couch and brought my knees up to my chest. "You dont wanna eat?" He asked, dropping his fork and sitting next to me. "Is everything alright? Did jason do something?" Worry filled his eyes. "N-No... Jason's fine... Im just confused as to why you did this instead of chilling out and talking normally." "We can do that if-if you'd like..." "No..." I scooted towards the small table with the food displayed and picked up my fork. "So, Saffron..." He began. I didnt bother paying attention to him since I already knew where he was going with this. Oh saffron I love you. I was drunk and im sorry and I cant lose you Blah blah blah. I shrugged at nothing and continued eating my food.

"You've stopped speaking." "Because I knew you weren't listening to me. You're the one that told me to convince you and now you're ignoring me like you did when you were with your ex." "So you were jealous." Colby looked up and pushed his empty plate aside. "For the most part I was..." He chuckled. I pushed my plate next to his and sat with my legs crossed. "You may continue." I said, showing no emotion towards Colby whatsoever. "I know I fucked up-" "You think?" "Can you... please... let me finish..." He calmly said. I looked at him and shrugged again. "Guess im all ears." "Thank you. So as I was saying.. I ruined everything. Our special bond, our friendship. But thats not it. I ruined both our chances of being happy." He paused. "How so..." I whispered. "Im getting there..." He softly replied. I layed on the couch, head on the edge and my right leg hanging off the side. My leg was shaking. Amd every now and then it would lift off the ground and slam back down. Colby picked up my leg and laid it softly on his lap. He was so gentle. So caring. It made me want to slap him yet kiss hin viciously at the same time. His words calmed me. He scooted closer to where most of my legs were hanging off his. He pulled me up and onto his lap. "I want you to know that... if you do decide to move out, I completely understand and respect your decision... and if you chose to stay... I wont get in your personal bussiness or love life or anything... and we can go back to being best friends again because I miss you..." A tear softly rolled down his cheek. I gripped his face in my hands and looked him in the eyes. "You've done good, Colby. Im convinced. I'll stay... But I never said we had to stop." A smile spread across his face as he pushed me down on the couch and began kissing me violently. He pulled off my shirt and rubbed my sides. I hugged his head, feeling as he wrapped his hands in my hair and softly stroked it. "I love you so much, Saffron." He whispered. I rubbed his hair and smiled. "I've always loved you Colby Brock." I pecked his lips again and hugged him. Everything felt natural. Our bodies pressed against eachothers. All peaceful. There was no sound. Everything was quiet.

His hands softly explored my body.

Squeezing at my hips.

Then softly rubbing once he got farther up. I stand up and pull colby beside me. He sweeps me off my feet and.kisses me, struggling to carry me up the stairs while his lips are connected to mine. He breaks the kiss and rushes upstairs to the living room. He removes his shirt, eventually joining me on the couch and squeezing my thighs, going higher as time progressed. I moan softly at his touch, wondering what He'll do next. My legs begin to squirm as he kisses down my stomach and down my thighs.

I sat up against the headboard and looked at the time. It was only 8. "How... how long was that?" I asked, taking deep breathes. "We fell asleep you ding dong..." He says, poking my nose. "Really? Oh..." I groan. I felt a sudden warmness on my back. I look behind me and see Colbys arms wrapped tightly around my waist. "Dont leave..." He whined. "You know I should be doing this to you." I said, struggling to take his arms off me. "Then hop to it woman." I gave him a look. "Im just kidding. I love you.. hug me? Please?" I roll my eyes and chuckle. "I guess." Colby sits up, allowing me to slip under the covers and squeeze colby. "Are you cold?" He asked. "What type of- No im not cold..." "Oh... I am." "Why in the.... Nevermind you're colby... anything is possible.." I said, sticking one leg out of the blanktes. "The fan is on... its giving me chills." I glance up at him and shake my head. "Is that a hint?" "Can you turn it off pleassee?" He begs. I roll my eyes and grab a shirt that was at the egde  I put it on the slip on my underwear. I reach up and turn off the fan. "Thank youuu..." He croaks. "You're just lazy." I groan. I layed back down next to colby, cuddled under his arm and check my phone. "Oh shit..." I whisper. "Whats wrong?" He asked. "Um... I have to go do something." I look at my phone again, seeing I have 5 missed calls from Jason and 3 text messages I instantly call him back

"Saffron?"

"Whats wrong?"

"Oh god I thought something happened."

"Oh no..."

"What were you doing."

"I was uh... Just... chillin..."

"Why do you sound kind of.. out of breath?"

Shit I say under my breath.

"I was uh... I went for a jog with Colby."

"Mh..."

"..."

"..."

"So why'd you call?"

"I wanted to know if you were still free tomorrow at 8?"

"Uh 8?"

"Yea.. 8 Why is something wrong?"

"Uh... no lemme check..."

I put my phone on hold and ran back to the room. "Go ahead..." He mumbled. "Im so sor-" "No its fine... I said I wouldnt get in your way.." "But we can-" "It might be late..." "You dont wanna-" "Would be nice but if you're busy then I dont really care." Colby showed little to no emotion. I walked back to my phone and finished my conversation with Jason.

"I got a tight schedule... how about... Saturday at 6?"

"Saturday... Thats fine"

"Okay I guess I'll se you then!"

"Yea see ya..."

I hung up the phone and walked back to the room, finding colby standing before me. His lips pressed against mine as he gripped onto my hair and waist. "I love you so much." He said. "Mh." I simply replied.
