"great be there at twenty"

Okay so maybe I was too excited that i had instantly put some pants and a cute top which was of course not knitted. And to my surprised I even arrived ten minutes early. Was it weird I had ran down thinking I was about to be late? Ha my bad then

How the hell did I even forget my bike?

Shrugging my shoulders, its not like I could go back and get it again. I was fine walking home late then. As long as I could see Connors face

With a smile I went in. I Smiled at old couples before turning towards the penthouse which to my surprise was quiet. It even looked empty

"Conner?"

Silence. And just when I was about to call him once again. To my surprise, Conner didn't come out but the fact that Cole came with a smug look only made me freeze in confusion.

"And she did come! ha, I just knew you would do anything for that golly old fart" He chuckled to himself while I still stood frozen. Not understanding one clue on what was happening until It slowly came into me that I was actually fooled

"Cole wheres Conner" I whispered. My head held down as I felt the embarrassment settle in the pit of my stomach. I could even feel the heat coming towards my cheeks as  my lips trembled in disappointment

"He got football. I seriously didn't think you would buy it since you got two football players as a roomie but I had to try right" Cole never stopped laughing. Instead, he was clutching on his stomach like his life depended on it before plopping down the cushion- clearly exhausted from his satisfaction of me looking like a fool

How could I even be so stupid? How could I, Colby forget that he was actually a rookie, a quarterback more importantly and I just acted like a crazy person who looked like he just found a cure for cancer. Without even realizing it, tears began to form on my eyes as the embarrassment settled in deeper to my soul. I could never forget this even if I wanted too. I just hope no one was here to see that.

And just when I felt the humiliation- anger had replaced them. Burning pain and irritation as I looked at the shock Cole who was instantly looking at me

"Shit, I made you cry"  I a second, he was at  my side then. Gripping my shoulders as I felt his panic when he began to hush me like a little girl who's candy just fell

Gosh why was I even crying? I mean although It was a joke, I couldn't really help but feel exhausted at how much energy I had put on myself for this shit

Instead of hitting him. I mumbled lowly

"I'm going home" With that, I tuned- taking all my stuff but Cole who was still shaking like he was the worst person on earth took my wrist before turning me

"Hey Colby it was a joke"

"You made me run" I grumbled in annoyance. I couldn't even look at him as I laid my head down- watching the floor like it was the most interesting thing I have ever seen. To my utter surprised, Cole's head suddenly pop. his body bending  just to see my tear stained face. Even to my horror, his hand touched my hair to slide it back behind my ear just to look at me

"hey" he called out "Okay so I may have took it too far to use your crush but I knew you would actually answer if it was an unknown number- much more if you knew it was me"

"Its so stupid" I whispered. Still not looking at him

"Has anybody told you you cry a lot?" He asked with a smile- as if it would make me smile when it only made me groan. Gosh- Conner may have told him then. After all, I couldn't even count how many time he had seen my cry especially during high school
