Chapter Nineteen

Chapter song: I Dont Care by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber

Colby's p.o.v.

About ten minutes into the movie, I was still playing with Y/N's hair and noticed she was very still. I looked down to see her face, still and innocent. I guess she really was that tired. I pulled my phone from my pocket with my other arm, being sure not to move much. Sam and Jake had texted me.

Group chat: Sam and JakeS: brother where have you been?Jake: I thought u were gettin food...Sam: that was like four hours ago Jake. Didn't u realize by now. Jake: uh noColby: I'm at Y/N's apartmentSam: OOH LALAJake: I thought we were hanging out :(Sam: what are y'all doin?Colby: well I came over to eat, then she needed to go food shopping, then we came back and watched a movie, and now she's asleep on me so I can't leave...Sam: SHES WHAT. Brother I could tell she liked you. Jake: ohhhh Colby has a crushColby: we're just friends...Sam: huh okkkkColby: we are. Whatever I'll be home tonight.Jake: or maybe you won't ;)Colby: shut up >:(Jake: ...Sam: ...

I put my phone down next to me on the couch. I was watching the movie, but it wasn't very good. The remote was on the coffee table though, making it impossible for me to change it without waking Y/N. I watched it for another fifteen minutes till I felt myself drift off into sleep too.

Y/N's p.o.v.

I woke up and felt an arm holding my waist. I pulled my head off of Colby's chest. It seemed like we both fell asleep. I slowly got up, careful not to wake him. I walked to the kitchen and grabbed my phone off the counter. It was around 7:45 by now. I was really hungry so I looked around to see what I just bought.

I was throwing a pizza in the oven when I heard movement on the couch. I put the timer on the oven and looked back to see Colby running a hand through his hair. "What time is it?" He asked his voice all raspy from sleep.

"Around eight. I just put a pizza in if you're hungry."

"Oh sweet." He grabbed his phone and stood up walking over to the bar stools. I went over and joined him. "So what time do you need me to leave?" He asked and looked at me. I did have work tomorrow around 2 pm, but honestly I didn't want him to leave. I know that sounds strange since we are only friends but I really like him. He is so sweet, cute, and definitely my type. I think I was slowly developing a crush, but I knew I never had a chance. He was just a nice guy, that I happen to be friends with. My whole life I've liked guys that never like me back, reason why I've never had a boyfriend. "Uh... Y/N?" Colby was waving a hand in front of my face. I've been sitting there staring at him.

"Oh uh, well I got work at 2 tomorrow." I said, not really answering his question.

"So I can leave around nine then, so you can get to sleep..." he trailed off. It seemed like he didn't want to leave either, even though I knew that wasn't the case.

"Alright." I answered. He was texting someone on his phone and I scrolled through Instagram to avoid the awkward silence.

While we were eating our pizza I noticed Colby kept looking at me. And the reason I noticed this was because I was looking at him too. I think he saw a few times. I felt like my face was bright red from embarrassment, but he was just so dang gorgeous.

He finished his food placing his plate in the sink. I got up to walk him out. "I had fun Y/N, definitely need to hang out more." He said walking towards the door.

"Yes, one hundred percent." I answered confidently. "Just let me know."

He nodded and answered, "will do." I opened the door for him and he took a step into the hallway, before turning around to face me. He was taller than me by only a few inches so I didn't really have to look up to meet his blue eyes. I was surprised when he pulled me in for a tight hug, wrapping his arms around my waist. I returned the hug and wrapped my arms around his shoulders. He whispered bye into the crook of my neck sending chills throughout my whole body. I said bye too, just as he was pulling away. Our eyes held contact for a lingering moment, before he smiled and walked away. I went back into my apartment, shutting the door. How did I get so lucky to meet him. Being a third wheel, was now a blessing.

A/N: sorry I know it's kind of a filler but i need more time before rushing into things. 🙃-Sam
