Chapter 7: The Talk

Sam's POV

C: I'm so sorry babe. I love you. I went too far. I'm just upset that you left, and I miss you. read at 2 p.m.

S: I'm going to come over to talk if that's okay? sent at 2:15

3 p.m. No answer. Is he okay? I'm going over there.

I walk out of the guest room

"Sam, you alright?" Corey asks

"Yeah, I think. I'm going to talk to Colby." I get my keys and drive to our apartment.

10 minutes later, I arrive at our apartment. I unlock the door and proceed through the dark apartment to our room.

"Colby?" I call out. I see him laying on our bed. I turn on the light and he groans.

"Sam? What's going on?"

I fidget and say, "I got nervous when you didn't answer."

He yawns and says, "Sorry love, I fell asleep. what's going on?"

"I want to talk."

"Okay, about what?" I sit down next to him, shaking slightly. "What's wrong?"

"I'm-m scared," shaking even more now.

He moves to wrap his arms around me then hesitates. I look at him and nod. "What are you scared of?"

I mumble, "Getting married..."

"Getting married? Why?"

I start to cry then. "b-because what if it changes things? What if I can't leave when I need space?" I whisper.

"If you need time to yourself babe, just tell me," he said. "I will always give you space if you need it."

I whisper, "I also thought that you didn't want me anymore... because you were spending a lot of time with Brennan."

"I will always want you. I was working on a gift for you and Brennan was helping me."

"Oh..."

"I'm sorry that I made you feel like that," he says.

"I should have just talked to you," I whisper.

"It's okay love. I get being scared about being married. I am also scared but I love you and I want to marry you."

"You are scared too?" I ask.

"Yes. But I believe that we will make it. I believe our love is strong enough to make it." I hug him and let the tears fall. He wipes my tears and hugs me tightly, rubbing my back. I feel myself calm down. "Do you need to go get your clothes from Corey's?"

I shook my head, "I brought them with me. The bag is in my truck, but I don't want to move right now." He chuckles and pulls me closer. I cuddle up to him, feeling at home once again. Just then, my phone vibrates with a new text. I groan, not wanting to move.

"I'll check it," Colby says. He grabs my phone and tilts the screen so we can both read it.

Devyn: Did you talk to Colby? Is everything okay now?

Colby replies with my approval.

Sam: Hi Devyn, this is Colby. We talked and everything is okay now😊

Devyn: Glad to hear that😊 Have a good night you too 😉

Colby laughs. I smile, glad to hear him laugh. All was right again.

"So, what is my gift?" I ask.

He pulls open our bedside table drawer and takes out a framed photograph of us from our first date.

I smile, happy tears rolling down my face. He wipes them away and smiles as he kisses me.
