Only the Lonely Survive // Colby Brock

chapter thirteen: she was so shy 'til i drove her wild

DAY 6/14

My breath was caught in my throat as Colby kissed me. It took me a moment to find my composure and unfreeze my hands from my side. Colby's one hand rested on my face, cupping my cheek softly. I slid my hand up his chest, grabbing onto his jacket.

His lips molded into mine as he stepped closer to me. Our bodies against each other, all I could hear was my heart banging against my rib cage.

Holy shit, he's kissing me!

I pulled away, pushing Colby back tenderly as I tried to slow down my breathing.

"What is it?" He asked, his lips slightly plump.

"Why..." I mumbled, "why are you kissing me?"

He smiled, looking away from me only for a moment. He slid his hands down to my waist, sending tingles throughout my body. "Because... I've wanted to kiss you since I met you."

I raised an eyebrow at him. "Wait what?"

Colby chuckled quietly and nodded his head. "Is it really that hard to believe?"

"A little bit." I replied, shrugging.

"Why?"

"I haven't exactly had a good track record with guys. I can't name really any that have liked me."

"Besides your ex." He mentioned.

"My wha- oh right. Yeah, him." I blushed, swatting my hand at Colby.

Smooth there, Skye.

A soft smile fell onto his lips. He slowly placed his forehead against my own, lowering his voice so only I could hear it. "Do you want to go upstairs to my room?"

"Why? What's up there to do?" I joked.

He bit his lip, leaning in close to mine. His voice deep, "I think we can think of something to do."

I gasped and pulled away from him, trying to hide the shiver that ran down my spine. "What kind of girl do you take me for?"

He sighed and rubbed his hands over his face. "You tease me too much."

"Like you don't do that to me?" I smirked.

He paused, his eyes going up and down my body. His eyes finally landed back on my face. "Would you please come to my room with me?"

I rolled my eyes and giggled. "Only because you asked in such a gentlemen way."

He slid his hand down my arm and into my hand, lacing our fingers together. We walked into the hallway, dodging people as we headed to the stairs. As we started to walk up, I saw Brennen and Casey leaving quickly out the front door. My mouth dropped open.

"What?" Colby questioned, looking back at me confused.

"Casey just left with Brennen." I answered.

Colby took me up the rest of the way and we walked to his room. I followed him inside and closed the door behind me, sliding my hand out of his. Suddenly, he spun me around, forcing me up against his door. His hands gripped my hips. I placed my arms around his neck.

"I think we're actually alone now." I uttered.

"Yeah..." He murmured.

I glanced down at his lips momentarily before leaning in. I raked my fingers through his soft locks, a hum coming from him. He ran one hand up my body, cupping my neck, while his other hand glided down my thigh and raised my leg up, pulling it around his hips. He pushed himself against me, making me gasp. He deepened our kiss.
