Angelina's POV

It was the next day. I was in my kitchen, washing the dishes. Colby was still asleep but he should be waking up soon. I already placed down water and Advil for him on the counter. He's definitely going to wake up with a huge headache. He's gonna be hungover.

I continued washing the dishes. I heard footsteps coming. I looked up. It was Colby, he was obviously in the same clothes as last night. "Good morning, sleepy head." I smiled. He smiled back as he held his head. "Morning." He said with his morning voice.

"Got a headache?" I asked him, turning off the water. He put his head down and groaned. "Yes, it hurts like a bitch." He said looking up and noticing the Advil. "Thank you." He said softly, taking 2 pills out of the container. "Anytime." I smiled leaning against the sink. He swallowed down the pills.

"This headache is killing me." He rubbed his face. "I bet, I can't relate to your pain cause I've never been drunk." We both laughed softly. "Yeah cause you only drink 1 beer and you're done." He chuckled. "Cause I don't wanna be put into that state you were in last night." I said taking out eggs, pancake mix, and bacon so I can cook breakfast.

Then it hit me. I remembered what he said last night. I had to ask him about it. I couldn't stop thinking about it. "Hey Colby?" I asked getting his attention. "Yeah?" He responded. "Um, so last night you said something. You said you were in love with me..." I trailed off, feeling my cheeks get hot. He just looked at me. "Oh yeah..I remember actually." He said.

"Yeah I just wanted to as-" He cut me off. "I meant what I said, Angelina. You may not believe me because I was too drunk. But it was a Sober thought and drunk words." He said looking at me. I looked back at him. "I really am in love with you Angelina. Even if you don't feel the same way."

But I do feel the same way. "I feel the same way, Colby." I said looking away from him. I felt his gaze on me. "Y-you do?" He asked softly. "Of course I do. I've felt this way for some time now. I didn't think you'd feel the same for me. Ever." I explained to him.

"How could I not feel the same, Angelina. You're different from these others girl I've met in Los Angeles." He said as our eyes met. I seen his eye pupil was growing. I guess he really does feel that way.

"Thank you. If that supposed to be a compliment." We both laughed. "Well you can take it as one." Colby chuckled. I started cooking the breakfast. I felt Colby's gaze on me the whole time. "You can't keep your eyes off me, huh?" I asked teasingly, still keeping my eyes on the pan, cooking the pancakes.

"Sorry." Colby said as he cleared his throat. I giggled. "It's okay, I was only joking." I said putting the cooked pancake onto a plate and handing it to Colby. I also grabbed the butter, syrup, and silverware for him. I placed it next to his plate.

"Thank you, Angelina." He smiled. "Anytime." I replied. "You're gonna eat yourself too, right?" He asked as he put syrup on his pancakes. "Yes, of course." I giggled. "Okay good." He chuckled.

After Colby and I ate breakfast he headed back to his apartment. Wow. I couldn't believe it. He actually feels the same way for me. We have feelings for each other. Just two best friends who caught feelings for one another. You know what they always say, 'You always fall in love with your best friend'. I guess that's true most of the time. But I don't know what we are now.
