Soulmates

81

The next couple weeks were fairly uneventful since I've been on a more steady work schedule. I was excited to be back but there was also a little bit of vulnerability in going back.

I trusted everyone I worked with but since the Peter situation I felt myself being on edge while I was at work.

It was okay though, I'd be okay.

"Hey, V." Aisha said as she came into the locker room where I was going through my charts. "Hey." I said with a small smile as I read every inch of the paper.

"Interesting chart?" She asked with a laugh as she went to grab her water bottle. "I just don't want to get married again." I said with a small laugh then sighed and signed the chart. "Ah shit, V..I'm sorry." She said as I shook my head.

"Don't worry about it, it's a thing of the past. I have to admit it was clever." I said then moved on to the next chart. "He was a psychopath." Aisha said and shuttered.

"Yeah, I'm glad he's in prison." I said as she sat next to me and ate a snack. "Me too. Are you going home after you're done?" She asked as I nodded and signed the chart. "Yeah, thank god." I said and looked at her.

"What are you gonna do this weekend?" She asked and grabbed the finished charts. "Hmm, I don't know! Maybe just hang out with Colby. We don't really have any plans." I said with a shrug as I signed the last chart.

"Well don't have too much fun." She said with a wink then put her water bottle in her locker. "I'll talk to you later." She said and waved. "Bye Aisha!" I said then stood up and grabbed my stuff. "Bye, love youuuu!" She sang out as she skipped out of the room.

I got my stuff together then returned my signed charts and clocked out.

I was happy that the drive home wasn't too long because I was actually pretty tired from a full day of work.

When I got home I went to my room so I could get changed. As I got changed I heard my phone buzzing but I didn't bother trying to answer it, I was too tired to converse with anyone right now.

I sighed then threw my hood over my head and went up to Colby's room.

"Baby?" I asked and opened the door slightly. "Hey, how was work?" Colby asked as I walked into the room. "It was fine." I said then crawled onto his bed.

I noticed that he had his suitcase on the end of the bed along with a couple piles of clothes. "Are you going somewhere?" I asked and pouted my lip as he walked over and started putting the clothes in the bag.

"Sam and I have to go out of town for the last 25x25 video." Colby explained as I nodded. "Where are you going?" I asked and bundled my sleeves in my hands.

"Canyon Lake, Texas." He said as I frowned. "How long will you be gone?" I asked as he zipped his bag up. "Only 5 days." He said then tossed the bag on the ground and crawled into bed with me.

"I'll miss you." I said as I cuddled into his chest. "You can come with ya know?" He asked and wrapped his arms around me.

"No, I think it's important that you do the last episode with just Sam." I said with a small smile. "I can't believe it's almost over." He said with a sigh. "I'm so proud of you guys, it's crazy how much you've done in a year." I said and he grabbed his laptop.

"I can't believe I'm turning 25 next month." He said causing me to laugh. "Yeah, you're a grandpa." I said and watched as he checked into his flight for tomorrow. "Ha." He said with a chuckle.

"What did you want to do for your birthday anyways?" I asked as he closed his laptop and tossed it to the side.

"I don't really care as long as I get to be with you." He said causing me to laugh. "Okay then." I said then sighed and cuddled into his chest more.
