Always

Chapter 31

 I noticed that he kept looking over at Sam and Kat, while she kept looking over at us. Apparently this was working better than I thought. F****ck, I was nervous for this to happen. I looked over at Colby who was watching Sam and Kat at that moment. "Babe," I said, trying not to be too loud but loud enough for him to hear me over the roar of the water. He looked down at me, kind of like he was coming back to reality. "Huh?" I motioned to the waterfall. "I actually do want to go under. You coming?" He grimaced. "But it's gonna be soooo cold." He whined. I laughed. "Probably way too cold, but come on!" I grabbed his hand and pulled him up with me. We sloshed through the water till we got to the little cliff that under the waterfall. The cold water was frothy around our legs now, and the spray from the falls was freezing on our skin. "You ready?" I asked, holding up our linked hands. He stared at the falls and shook his head. "Not even a little." "Great. Let's go!" We ducked under the water and over the cliff, as fast as we could, ending up behind the falls. "OH SHIT!" I cried out, the freezing water almost putting me into shock. Colby started bouncing around. "Oooooo F*CK, MMMM F*CK," He kept repeating while he bounced. I started laughing when I was recovered enough to do so. "Are you good?" I asked, still chuckling. He stopped bouncing but he was still moving his arms back and forth and walking in place. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Trying to warm up. It's not working tho." I giggled at him acting crazy. "Maybe I need body heat." He growled, then snatched me around the waist and pulled me to him, pressing his lips forcefully to mine. I didn't have a chance. I melted against him, the cold no longer an issue. I didn't think about the upcoming prank, or my guilt, or anything besides Colby's body pressed up against my own. I brought my arms up around his neck, to the back of his head and tangled my fingers in his hair, pulling slightly. He groaned into my mouth, and tightened his arms around my waist, breaking the kiss so that he could start on my neck. About that time, I heard shrieks and other's coming through the waterfall. "I told you guys that they came back here to make out." Jake said, laughing. Colby raised his head from my neck and we looked at the group, still latched onto one another. I blushed, let go of his hair, and brought my arms down to my sides. "Well, if you knew then why did you come back here?" Colby asked, a little irritated. "Because we wanted to join in brotheeeer!" Corey said. Everyone had finally made it through and they all laughed. Colby kissed me and winked, then he took my hand and we stood up on the cliff, directly under the waterfall, letting the water beat down on us. It would've hurt if it had been any larger. Everyone took their turn, and then we left the caves an swam back to the dock, making our way back to camp. It was almost dark by then, so we changed clothes, and made dinner. We didn't speak a lot simply because all of the swimming and the sun had drained our energy. Jake busted out the liquor bottles so we took advantage and started taking shots. I controlled myself because I knew that the prank was going to happen. I didn't need alcohol to make it worse. I saw that Sam was not really drinking either, but playing along with the other guys to make it seem like he was. Soon enough, everyone was ready to pass out. I helped Colby to the tent because he couldn't walk very well. I tucked him, and kissed his lips softly, telling him goodnight and I loved him, but he was already asleep. I climbed back out of the tent, to find Sam waiting for me. He smiled as I walked up to him. "Okay, I didn't expect everyone to get as drunk as they did. I spoke with Tara and Jake earlier and they are going to help us in the morning because it will be easier and make more sense." I was confused. "What do you mean?" I asked. "I'm going to wake them before everyone else and they're going to go down the trail, just go walking for a bit. We're going to get in their tent and wait until we hear the others getting up, preferably Kat and Colby. Hopefully we can tell the difference. Then we'll start whispering loudly and pretending to get our clothes on. Stuff like that." He shrugged. "That's about it." I sighed deeply. "Okay. I'm going to go sleep next to my fiance while I still have one." I replied, laughing. He just smiled and shook his head. "It'll be fine. Goodnight." "Night." We went to our separate tents, and I snuggled up to Colby. I brought his arm around myself and tried to sleep. It didn't work very well. I had a very restless night, and was already awake when Sam whispered my name the next morning. "I'm coming." I whispered back. I crawled out and stood up next to him. Jake and Tara were standing by their tent. "Good luck with the prank!" Jake whispered, giving us a double thumbs up. Tara smiled and they walked off down the trail. Sam and I ducked into their tent, sliding into their double sleeping bag. He was shirtless, dressed in a pair of shorts, and I had on my tank top and pajama shorts. It felt weird being in the same sleeping bag as Sam, and I shifted trying not to touch him too much. We lay there awkwardly until I heard someone yawn. "That's Kat." Sam whispered very quietly. "Sam?" She called out quietly, trying not to wake the others. Then I hear, "Colby? Colby, wake up! Have you seen Sam? Where's Y/N?" "Wha-huh?"
