Chapter 14: Summer in LA

Colby and Sam ended up staying in Kansas for two weeks. By the time they returned to LA, it was summer. They are looking forward to spending time with their friends and preparing for their wedding. One Saturday, they went to get their tuxes.

Colby's POV

I wake up Sam with a kiss. He groans, "It's too early."

I laugh, "it's 11 am babe."

"Let's just stay in bed all day," he says, kissing me. I laugh and get out of bed to make food for us before we head to pick up our tuxes. As I am nearly finished making food, I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist.

"Morning sleepyhead," I say, leaning against Sam. We stay like that as I finish making lunch. I grab his hand and lead him to the table. We finish lunch and he grabs his keys to drive his to pick up our tuxes. I turn on the radio and he reaches for my hand. I interlace our fingers and smile at him. We arrive at the store and give our names to the owner. We grab our tuxes and head back home.

When we get home, Sam wants to try on his tux, so he heads to our room. After a few minutes, I open the door to our room.

"Colbs, you aren't supposed to see me in my tux. It's bad luck!"

"I'll risk it," I say, kissing him. I can't help it; he looks so handsome in his tux. "I love you, Sammy."

"I love you too," he says. I pull him towards me and kiss him. He deepens the kiss as I take off his jacket and shirt. I lead him back to the bed, falling on top of him. "Hold on," he says. He gets to hang up his tux and putting shorts on. "I don't want it getting wrinkled," he says. I chuckle and pull him towards me again. He tucks his head under my chin as I wrap my arms around him, kissing his forehead. He falls asleep so I text the group chat I created with the members of our wedding party minus Sam. I am planning a party tonight to celebrate our engagement with all of our friends.

me: hey everyone, ready for tonight?

Corey: totally! Devyn and I just finished getting the decorations and our present! We will be over soon to set up.

me: awesome! text me when you get here. I'll come and get you because Sam is sleeping.

Corey: will do!

Aaron: I just picked up Elton and Brennan. We are on our way over too.

15 minutes later, I get a text saying that Corey and Devyn are here. I carefully lay Sam on the bed and go to let them in. Aaron, Elton, and Brennan arrive just as I get downstairs. We all head up to mine and Sam's apartment.

"Just remember to keep your voices down. Sam is still sleeping, and I don't want to ruin the surprise." They nod in agreement and we quietly enter the apartment.

For the next hour, we decorate the apartment. Devyn and Corey leave for a short while to pick up the food and cake. As they finish decorating, I go into the bedroom to get ready.

"Hey love," he says.

"Hey. So, you up for a date tonight?" I ask.

"totally. Formal or casual?"

"Semi-formal," I say. We both start getting ready for the 'date' aka the party. He puts on a pair o black pants and a blue shirt that brings out his eyes. I put on a pair of black pants and a light blue shirt.

"Aww, we match," he says, smiling. Then my phone buzzes, It's Corey:

we're ready.

I grab Sam's head and pull him into the living room where everyone is waiting.

"Surprise!" They all yell. Sam covers his face and then smiles at them.

"What's going on, Colbs?"

"It's a surprise party to celebrate our engagement," I say. Our friends take turns hugging us as Devyn brings the food over. We all grab some food and sit down to eat, talking about the wedding. I sit down next to Sam, my arm draped over the back of his chair. After dinner, we sit down in the living room and talk while eating dessert. About 30 minutes, I feel Sam's head drop onto my shoulder as he falls asleep.

"Aww," Devyn and Kat whisper together. I pick Sam up and carry him to our room. He curls up as I pull the covers over him. I close the door and head back to our friends. 20 minutes later, everyone has left except for Devyn and Corey.

"So, Colby. How is Sam feeling? Is he still scared?" Devyn asks.

"I don't think so. I think talking about it with me helped as did going home to Kansas. I think that the fact his family knows now makes him more comfortable," I say. "And he was so excited to try on his tux when we got home. It was so cute."

"And how are you feeling?" Corey asks.

"Honestly, I'm ready. Seeing Sam in his tux today just made me realize that I'm very ready to marry him."

Just then, Sam speaks from the doorway of our shared bedroom, "Aww Colbs. That's so sweet." He walks over to hug me with tears in his eyes.

"Hey, Sammy. I thought you were sleeping," I say, blushing.

"I was. But I'm glad I could hear you say those things. I love you so much. I can't wait to marry you," he says. I kiss him and hear a squeal from the couch.

"You two are so cute," Devyn says.

We smile at them, arms wrapped around each other. Then Corey says, "Well, I think that's our cue to leave. We'll see you guys later."

"Bye," we say together. They wave and leave our apartment. I pull Sam close to me and kiss him. He wraps his arms around my waist and kisses me back.

"I could hold you forever," I say.

"Well, it's a good thing you never have to let me go," he says, smiling. I turn on some music and pull him close to me. The rest of the evening is filled with dancing, kissing, and cuddles. Just perfect.

One and half months later

Colby's POV

Tomorrow is our wedding day. Sam insisted on spending the night at Corey and Devyn's apartment because he thinks its bad luck to see the groom before the wedding. I know it's just one night, but I miss him. I text him.

C: hey Sammy.

S: hey Colbs. you okay love?

C: I miss you. I wish you were here.

S: aww, I miss you too. but I'll see you tomorrow.

C: I want to hear your voice.

As soon as I send that, my phone rings. I look at the caller ID, Sammy. I answer, "hey babe"

"hey love. ready for tomorrow?" he says

"so ready, you?"

"totally," he says. I smile then he says, "so, you miss me huh?"

"Yes, I want to hold you, fall asleep with you. I wish you were here beside me," I say.

"Aww. That's so cute. I want to be with too, but it's bad luck," Sam says.

"I love you," I say.

"I love you too baby," he says.

We talk until I notice that he is starting to drift off. "Sleepy Sammy?"

He yawns, "a little, but I want to continue talking."

"Go to sleep Sammy. I'll see you in the morning," I say.

"Okay," he says, falling asleep. I hang up the phone, excited for our wedding day.
