Player 3.0 ♛ Colby Brock

Chapter 12 ♛ Sweet Escape

"Okay." I weakly smiled before gently kissing the top of his nose, "Let's head back to your place then." I said standing up from his lap.

He followed my movements as well, and then laced his large hand with my small one. I gently squeezed him, hoping I could give him some reassurance and comfort, but most of all to let him know that I was here and that I'm always going to be here for me.

"We are going to head home now." I announced to our friends.

"Are you two sure?" Corey asked.

"Yeah, we are sure." I reassured him.

Sam quickly got off the couch and gave Colby a needed hug, "I'm sorry." He mumbled to Colby, but it was very audible for all of us.

"I'm sorry too." Colby whispered back.

My heart sank deep into my chest from their little moment they were having. They feel like they both let each other down, but in all honesty they didn't and they didn't let anyone down either. But I wish they could just see that. All we want is for them to be themselves, but to be safe about the life they want to live.

I slowly leaned over the couch , "I will call you later." I whispered to Jake.

He gently nodded his head, "Okay, just make sure to watch over him." He whispered back.

"I will." I promised him.

Once Colby and I made our way back to his apartment, he went straight to his bedroom actually to his closet. I stood there underneath the doorway, watching as he pulled out two small suitcases from the far corner of his closet.

"What are you doing?" I asked, eyeing him.

"I want to go on a little vacation." He said, his eyes meeting mine, "So, get packing." He added with a weak smile.

"Colby, are you sure about this?" I asked as I sat down next to him on the floor.

"I am." He reassured me before gently pecking my cheek.

"Okay." I breathed before helping my boyfriend pack for our little sweet escape.

"Colby, stop!" I giggled as I protected my face with my hands.

"Come on, Appna." He chuckled as he continued to splash the pacific waters onto my face.

We decided to escape reality for the next few days and spend some time together near the shore. Being close to the coastline always brought us a sense of peace. Plus, staying in a small house on a private beach gave us reassurance.... reassurance that we won't be bothered by anything outside our little sweet escape.

"Fuck, it's cold." His teeth chattered indicating how cold the ocean waters were.

"See!" I shouted, "So, stop throwing it at me."

A evil smirk appeared on his face, causing my eyes to widen from the fear that settling inside my bones, because I knew Colby was about to do something stupid and I won't like it all.

"Colby, don't you dare do what I think you are...." But before I could even finish my comment he had me locked in his arms as he pulled us both underneath the water.

A pout formed onto my face as a playfully smile tugged on his. He started to swim towards me, but I pretended to be mad at me so I swam away from him. But, this boy was a lot faster than me so he obviously caught up to me without a problem.

He spun me around, letting my emerald eyes become fixated at his ocean eyes. Oh, how much I loved how they mimicked the one we were in. I gently wrapped my arms around his neck before sharing my first kiss underneath water with him and he was happy to be my first by the way he reacted to my soft lips being on his.

A small giggle left my lips once we were above waters again, "I love you." I whispered to him.

"I love you too." He grinned before reattaching our lips for a second.

Thunder roared above us catching our attention like wildfire. Both our eyes fluttered up towards the now cloudy, gloomy sky. Soon heavy rain poured onto the quiet beach, causing a warm smile to appear on my face. I gently closed my eyes and let my body enjoy the peaceful rain as it splashed onto our bare skins.

I could feel Colby staring at me with pure love and wonder. He was content in this very moment and I didn't have to look at him to know that. I could just feel it radiating off of him.

"Why are you staring at me?" I questioned, teasing at the fact I caught him without even having my eyes open.

"Cause you are so beautiful." He whispered with his signature smile.

I playfully rolled my eyes at his comment, "And so are you." I giggled, wrapping my arms around his neck again.

He held me close as our bodies swayed in the waters together. I rested my chin on his shoulder as he did the same with me. We quietly listened to the rain collide with the ocean's bed, not caring at the fact that we might get sick later on from this weather, cause all we wanted was to be with each other no matter how bad the weather was.
