Chapter 5

ALYANA'S POV

I wake up to the sun shining through my curtains, I slowly open my eyes to find myself in Colby's arms. I'm wrapped up in one of my sheets and he is only wearing his boxers. I look up his chest to see him still sound asleep, but my movement in the bed makes him stir.

"Good morning," I giggle as he squints his eyes open.

"Good morning, Lane," He smiles rubbing his eyes.

"Lane? Where did that come from?" I smile, that name brings back so many memories.

"I don't know, I thought it was cute,"

"I like it, my dad used to call me that," I start to smile, but it quickly goes away as I start to miss my dad.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't have to call you that," He says apologetically.

"No, please do. I miss being called Lane."

He pulls me closer to him and places a gentle kiss on my head.

"Oh, by the way," I say looking up at him meeting his eyes with mine, "I like you a lot too. I know I never said it last night, but I was hoping you would catch on."

"You didn't have to say it," He laughs thinking back to last night, "You showed me enough."

He reaches over and grabs his phone off of the nightstand to find a bunch of texts from Sam.

Sam: Dude you left like an hour ago where are you

Sam: Either you're still with Alyana or you're dead

Sam: Just let me know that you're not dead

Colby: Not dead, I'll be home soon

He closes his messages and goes to Snapchat where he takes a picture of the back of my head laying on his chest and posts it to his private story.

"I should probably get going," He says removing his arm from around me, "Do you wanna come over later?" He begins walking around my room trying to find his clothes.

"Yeah, I'd love to," I reply as he slips his shirt back on.

"Okay, I'll see you then," He reaches down to the bed and gives me a soft kiss.

"Goodbye, Colby."

"Goodbye, Alyana."

I listen to him walk down the stairs and out the door before I get out of bed and into the shower.

COLBY'S POV

"Dude, where in the world have you been?" Sam asks when I walk into the door.

"I texted you not long ago," I sit next to him at the table as he edits our new video.

"Yeah well I texted you like a hundred times last night. What happened?"

"I stayed at Alyana's," I say trying to not sound too excited about what happened.

"Obviously, but why did you stay there. Come on dude, I want the details!" He waves his hands around.

"Well, when we got to her house I told her how I felt about her and uhh she showed me how she felt about me," I explained putting emphasis on the word 'show'.

Sam almost chokes on his water, "So you slept with her, slept with her?"

I just nod and smile.

"I'm proud of you brother. When are you gonna make it official with the fans? With the new video coming out tonight they're going to see you holding her and get suspicious."

"Oh shit," I stood up from the table, "I completely forgot to make it official with her."

"So you just fucked her, slept in her bed and left making her wonder what you guys are," Sam says making me feel even more bad.

"Yes, I mean no, I mean, I told her how I felt and she told me how she felt. It wasn't just meaningless sex," I practically try and convince myself that I'm not a bad person.

"You just didn't put a label on it and left her wondering what she is to you?" He says trying to make me feel worse, but in a joking way.

"Dude stop, she's coming over later. I'll do it then."

In the shower I couldn't stop thinking about Alyana and last night. How amazing being with her felt. How waking up to her made me smile harder than I have in a while. I just can't get her out of my head.

ALYANA'S POV

After my shower I slip on a pair of sweats and a tee shirt and sit on my bed with my phone. I go on snapchat to see the picture of me laying on Colby's bare chest on his private story. I screenshot the picture and just look at it for a while. I wish he didn't have to leave in such a hurry this morning. I wanted to lay with him longer, maybe figure out what we are. I mean yeah we both admitted our feelings to each other, but after the fact, nothing was said about us. He held me throughout the night and kissed me goodbye, but what are we. I laid on my bed for a bit on my phone and I got bored of it so I decided to go over to their house now.

"Alyana!" Katrina says surprised opening the door for me.

"Hey!" I hug her.

"Colby's up in his room I think," She winks at me. I'm guessing he told them what happened.

"Okay thanks," I laugh and start to head up the stairs.

When I got to his room I heard faint music coming from inside. I knock quietly, but there was no answer. I slowly open his door to see him laying on his bed wearing gray sweatpants and a black tank top. His hair was damp and messy like he just got out of the shower.

"Alyana, hey," He smiles getting up from his spot on the bed.

He walks over to me and pulls me in for a hug.

"Hi, sorry I should have told you I was coming. I just got really bored," I say hugging him back.

"No, I'm so glad you're here. I actually wanted to talk to you," He said leading me to the edge of his bed.

He wants to talk to me. Any other time a guy says they want to 'talk to me' it ends with my heart getting broke. Him saying that made me nervous.

"What's up?" I ask trying not to sound worried.

"Last night," He starts, "It was absolutely amazing. Every moment I spend with you is amazing and I want to spend so many more moments with you. I've never been good with relationships and sometimes I go through these phases where I just want to be left alone, but I want to make us work. No matter what the fans think, or what anyone else thinks. I want to be with you."

My worry instantly goes away and I start to blush, "Are you asking me to be your girlfriend, Colby Brock?"

"Yeah, I am," He smiles and looks at his hands.

"Good," I slip my hand into his as a yes to his question.

"Good," He repeats back.  

"Hey," He pulls his hand away from mine and puts it down on the bed beside him, "My friend, Brennen is having a party tonight and a bunch of my friends are gonna be there. I would really like for you to meet them. Will you come with me?"

"Yeah of course," I smile up at him. He wants me to meet his friends.

"Great! Do you wanna get something to eat in the meantime?"

He drives to Chipotle and we leave my car at the Trap House. While we eat he tells me about the other places him and Sam have been to over the years and all the crazy experiences they've had. Seeing his face light up talking about it made me so happy just like it did him. We decided that it would be easier for him to take me home now and then pick me up in an Uber for the party.

"Thanks for dinner," I say when we pull up to my house.

"Stop thanking me," He laughs, "I'm your boyfriend now, I'm supposed to do this."

"Okay fine," I laugh, "I'll see you at 7." I lean over the console between us and place a gentle kiss on his lips.

"I'll see you at 7."

For the party I decide on wearing a light blue, lace bralette top and a pair of black ripped skinny jeans. I put a black and gray flannel over top of it, but leave the buttons undone. I did my makeup with a smokey eye and winged eyeliner. I put on some lip gloss, throw the tub in my bag and head downstairs to wait for the Uber to arrive. After about 10 minutes of sitting there I hear a car door shut and then the doorbell ring. I open the door to find Colby wearing black skinny jeans, a black tee shirt and a leather jacket with red accents on it.

"My god you look incredible," He grabs my bare waist and rubs it with his thumbs. He pulls me in closer and puts his forehead against mine.

"You don't look half bad yourself," I smile up at him and bringing my body closer to his.

"Hmm maybe we shouldn't go to the party," He smirks hovering his lips over mine.

"No, we're going to the party. Come on let's go," I quickly pull away teasingly and grab his hand leading him to the car.

I climb in the back seat with Colby before the Uber drives away. About 20 minuets later we pull up to a big house that was lit up with multi colored lights from the inside. In the back there was a pool and just from the outside I could tell there were hundreds of people.

"Thank you," Colby says to the driver slipping him a tip.

He grabs my hand and leads me inside. Walking through the door I see a guy that was a bit shorter than Colby with longer, dark curly hair. Colby lets go of my hand to hug him, but grabs it right back to introduce me.

"Brennen, I would like you to meet Alyana."

"Hi, nice to meet you," I smile at him.

"Nice to meet you," He smiles back, "You were in Sam and Colby's recent video right, the medium?"

"Yeah, that's me," I laugh.

"Bro was she the one on your story?" Brennen whispers to Colby and he nods his head.

"Nice one," He gives Colby a high five.

"Well, you guys help yourselves to drinks," Brennen walks away and gets lost in the crowd.

On our way to the drinks we find Sam and Katrina. Kat insists on me meeting a few of her friends, so I break away to go with her. With Kat I meet a shorter girl with dark hair, her name was Tara and she's Jakes girlfriend. I'm surprised I haven't seen her at the house yet. Then we ran into a girl with the coolest name I've ever heard, Xepher. She had half pink and half black hair and amazing makeup. I also met Stas, Cassie and Devyn, who is Corey's girlfriend.

"There you are!" Colby shouts over the music grabbing my hand, "Come take shots with me."

He pulls me through the crowd once again to the bar. He pours us both a shot of Absolute and points to Jake holding up his phone for a video.

"3,2,1!" We cheers, slam the glass down and pour the vodka to the back of our mouths.

"Woah," Colby says as I go for another.

"You're way ahead of me, Brock. I gotta catch up."

I take a few more shots before following Colby around to meet more of his friends. As I'm meeting everyone I start to feel the alcohol and all I want to do is dance. I grab Colby by the wrist and pull him back into the crowd of people. As the loud music blares through the speakers I dance against Colby. After dancing for awhile I decide that I want another drink, so I find my way to the bar and pour vodka and juice into plastic cup.

"Wait up for me," Colby laughs getting up to the bar with me, "Looks like someone is having a good time."

"Yeah I am," I smile taking a sip, "Thanks for bringing me,"

"Now what did I say about thanking me," He raised his eyebrows at me and all I could do was laugh.

Just then one of my favorite songs came on over the speakers, Sex on Fire, by Kings of Leon. I down the rest of my drink and pull Colby back into the crowd. As the song plays I yell it while we dance.

We throw our hands up and scream the lyrics in each others faces with the biggest smiles.

If it's not forever, if it's just tonightOh, it's still the greatest, the greatestAnd you, your sex is on fire

When the song ends with the last guitar riff, Colby grabs my waist like he always does, but he knows I love it, and slams his lips into mine. Even with the hundreds of people surrounding us, it felt like only us two in that moment. His grip on my waist tightens as he rocks my hips to the beat of the music.

"God, you're so fucking hot," He whispers in between the kiss where I can taste the alcohol and lust coming from his mouth.

"If you think that we're going to leave this party, Colby Brock, then you are wrong," I tease him.

"Damnit," He groans.

Throughout the night I kept downing more and more drinks until I could barely see and keep myself on my feet. Colby was pretty drunk too, but he acted sober enough to take care of me.

"Come on, Lane, the Uber is here. It's time to go home," He says helping me outside.

"I want to stay with you," I drunkly pout.

"I'll be right with you, okay. We're going home."

I wasn't sure if he was taking me to the trap house or my apartment, but it didn't matter. He was going to be there and that's enough for me

"Colby, I'm dizzy," I whine in the backseat.

"I know, we'll be home soon," He helps by putting his arm around me.

Before I know it we were pulling up to the trap house. Colby ran over to my side, opened the door for me and helped me inside. He carefully led me upstairs and into his room. I fall straight onto his bed when he opened the door.

"Come on, let's some comfier clothes on you," He grabs a hoodie out of his closet for me.

He sat me up a bit and started by taking my flannel off and then my top. I didn't have a bra on and it surprised him. I couldn't help but to laugh at his facial expression. He slips his large hoodie over my head and gently kisses me once my face pops out of the hood. Going into Sam's room he comes back with makeup remover and slowly wipes my face. He's so gently. I started to get uncomfortable in my jeans, so I take them off leaving me in my underwear.

"I'm sleepy, Colby," I whine once again as he gently takes my fake eyelashes off.

"I know, we can go to bed soon babe."

Babe. The word keeps playing over in my head as I watch Colby so close to my face taking off my makeup. Babe.

"Climb in," He pulls back the blankets to his bed and I slowly get in, "Get cozy, I'll be right back."

He walks over to his closet and starts undressing himself. I watched him as he only puts on a pair of sweatpants, leaving his shirt off. He walks back over to the bed and slowly climbs in beside me. Wrapping his arms around me, I move over and lay my head on his chest just like last night.

"I'm still so dizzy," I complain for the last time.

"I know what will make it better."

He brings my head closer to him and holds it steady with his other arm, applying minimal pressure. Instantly I start to drift to sleep in Colby's arms.
