Carli's pov:
I

walk back to Colby and set down beside him. I look around and see everyone gone. Where did they go?

"Where did everyone go?" I asked confused.

"Out to eat" he says still looking at his phone.

I lean back alittle and peak over and what I see breaks my heart. Hes texting some girl and is planning on going on a date with her. I look away and look down. I sigh. Maybe he didnt like me. Maybe he was just messing with my feelings, like every boy does. I look over and see hes smiling at his phone. I get up and walk to my bunk. I should have known. I then cry myself to sleep, not feeling like seeing everyone today.

***

I open my eyes and look around. I hear nothing. Its quiet. To quiet. I check the time and see its 3 in the morning. I sigh and get out of my bunk. I walk down stairs and to the kitchen of the bus and grab a water bottle from the fridge. I set down and turn my phone on and go through Instagram for a little while.

I then jump when I see Colby sleeping beside me. How did I not see him when I came down? Who knows.. I sigh and get up. I walk back upstairs and back to my bunk but instead of getting in I grab my fuzzy blanket and walk to Mavericks bunk and open his curtain.

"Maverick" I whisper.

"Yeah" he whispers back in a raspy voice.

"Can I lay down here with you?" I asked shy.

"Yeah, always." He says and scoots over. I lay down and face him. He opens his eyes and looks at me.

"So how did things go with Colby?" He whispers.

"Not good" I say back.

"What happened?" He asked concerned.

"I dont really want to talk about it right now." I say.

He nods in understandment. I close my eyes and lay my head on Mavericks chest. He wraps his arms around me. I smile a little bit and soon drift off into a peaceful sleep.

Colby's pov:
I open my eyes and look around and see I'm on the sofa. I stand up and stretch popping my back in the process.

I then proceed to walk up the stairs to the top of the bus. I then regret going up there. I see carli and maverick cuddling in his bunk. I clench my jaw. I grab my clothes and go to the bathroom and get dressed. I brush my hair and put my cap on backwards like usual.

I walk out but bump into someone. I look down and see carli.

"Hey carli, watch where your going" I say rudely and walk around her and out of the bus. I check my phone and see shae had texted me.

From Shae: ready for the photo shoot date?

To shae: yeah, on my way.

I slide my phone in my pocket and head to my photo shoot.

***

I put my hat back on and give shae a side hug and leave heading back to the bus. I check my phone and see I had a miss call from carli ands a message from her.

From carli: can we meet up and talk?

To carli: whatever. Where do you want me to meet you at?

From carli: Starbucks.

I put my phone in my pocket and start heading to Starbucks.

Carli's pov:
I walk into Starbucks and set down in the back, and wait for Colby.

I dont know what is going on with him today. He bumps into him and he doesnt even help me up. He just walks around me.

I get brought out of my thoughts by Colby walking in. He spots me and walks over with an annoyed face.

"What did you want to talk about?" He asks as he sets down.

"You." I say.

"What about me?" He asked.

"Why are you so pissy with me?" I asked kinda heart broken.

"Because of you" he says.

Me?

"Because of me? What did I do?" I asked confused.

"You were cuddled up with maverick this morning when I woke up" he says.

"So? Hes my bestfriend. We have been doing that for like ever" I say.

"Whatever" he says and crosses his arms.

"What about you? You were flirting with some random girl and planning a date" I say.

"You mean shae? She is my photographer" he says laughing.

I blush out of embarrassment.

"Oh.. i-im sorry" I say.

"Its fine. So are we good?" He asked.

"Yeah I guess" i say.

"I'm sorry that I was such a dick" he says apologetically.

"Its ok." I say.

He nods and touches my hand that was setting on the table. I felt electricity go through my arm.

"Carli, can I ask you something?" He asked.

"Sure" I say smiling.

"Will... will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.

"Of course" I say. He smiles and grabs both of my hands.

I swear, I might be falling for him.
