My Secret [Completed]

Surprise

Sam's POV

He helps me stand up and he starts to walk to the kitchen.

"Colby, wait..."

"Sam, are you okay?"

"I-I"

"Sam, whatever it is, you can tell me."

"Don't leave me." It's not what I wanted to say but I couldn't bring myself to say the words.

"It's you and me. Together, forever. I'm not going anywhere."

I smile, then say, "Let's go get some food."

We walk to the kitchen, holding hands. Corey dishes a plate of food for Colby, but I notice that it was too much food for him so I gesture to him and then Colby. He nods and hands the plate to me instead and dishes up a smaller plate for Colby.

"Thanks, Corey. For not giving me too much," he says.

"Thank Sam for that. He reminded me. I'm sorry that I forgot," Corey says.

"It's okay, Corey. I'm not mad," Colby says.

He squeezes my hand under the counter and smiles at me. Colby goes to use the bathroom after we eat.

"I'm glad you're happy Sam," Corey says.

"I'm just glad Colby is okay," I sigh.

"I'm more than okay, I'm happy. Happier than I have ever been," Colby says from behind me as he wraps his arms around me. "Thanks to you," he adds.

"I thought we said no sappy stuff," Corey says, laughing.

"He brings it out in me," Colby says, laughing too.

I just stare at them, shaking my head. He sits back down and rests his head on my shoulder. We finish eating and we walk to his room. He hands me a bottle of water and one of the pills.

"Thank you for taking care of me," I say.

"Of course, I always will."

He runs his fingers through my hair and I relax into his touch, feeling the meds starting to work. I fight the urge to sleep because I don't want to take my eyes off him. I stare at him, just taking him in. My eyes start to close but I force them open.

"Sammy, you need to rest."

"But I just want to stare at you," I say, pouting.

He chuckles and kisses me. "We have years for that. Sleep babe, I'll be here."

He runs his hands through my hair as I drift off to sleep.

Colby's POV

Sam curls up to my side and falls asleep as I run my fingers through his hair.

I can't believe he's all mine. Nothing will ever compare to this.

I hear a soft knock on my door and Kat enters the room.

"Hi Colby. How is he?" She whispers, sitting beside the bed.

"He's good. Getting better every day," I whisper back.

"And you?"

"I'm happy. He makes me so happy. But are you alright?"

"I'm glad. And yes, things changed. I'm just glad he's happy and healthy. You make him happy. He's loved you for so long," she says.

"You knew?"

"Yeah, I was the one who told him to tell you," she says.

"Thank you, Kat. And if you ever need anything, we'll be here."

"Colby? Kat? What's going on?" Sam asks.

"I came to check up on you," she says.

"I'm great," he says.

"I heard. Well I have to get going. I'll see you soon."

"Bye," we say together.

"Are you still tired?"

He kisses me, "Definitely not."

"Good, because I want to take you out on a date," I say.

"Really?"

"Yeah, if you're up for it?" I ask.

"Of course, I would love that!"

"Great, let's go then," I say.

He helps me get ready and we walk to his car. He helps me into the car and drives away.

"So where are we going?"

"You'll see."

I relax into the passenger seat, just happy to be with him. He drives us to a campground and sets up two chairs by a firepit. He helps me into a chair and starts to set up the tent. When he finishes setting up, he pulls out a bundle of wood and makes a fire. He sits next to me and reaches for my hand. I intertwined my hand with his.
