We emerge back into his apartment laughing and kissing, bags of Carl's Jr take out clenched in our hands. We leave them on the kitchen counter, continuing into his room, connected at the lip. My hands unbutton his shirt, pushing it off his shoulders. He sits me on the edge of his bed, bending to take off my Rockstuds. He proceeds to unzip my dress, letting it drop to the floor. He kisses me, before pulling my favourite of his hoodies over my head. The Balenciaga Sinners one. He gets into his tack pants too, meeting me on the kitchen floor where I'm already halfway through my burger. He chuckles, pulling his out of the bag
"Was it worth it? Not eating all day to wear custom Balmain?"
I debate it, and land on
"Not a chance in hell."
He chuckles, leaning forward to kiss me again. He asks me
"Was it everything you dreamed of though?"
I was the star, I had my end game love of my life there, my cousin- more like my sister, my best friends in the crowd of people coming to see us. Not having to worry about maintaining the best friends only image with Colby. It's was everything I have dreamed of, it was perfect, so stress free, all my dreams there and coming true.
"Oh yeah."
"Best night of your life?"
I would say it was the best night of my life, but the truth is, it wasn't. Only second to one
"No."
He furrows his eyebrows at me and tilts his head, grabbing at a chip. I shake my head
"It isn't. Because the night I stole Brennan's side of the booth at Tender Greens still beat it out."
He pouts
"That's the best night of your life?"
I hum, swallowing a mouthful of my drink
"Yeah... My first Tender Greens experience. Such amazing chicken."
He scoffs, tossing a chip at me I catch with my teeth. It's been a crazy year, being back in LA. Moving across the globe, relationships, friendships, auditions, trips away and filming. I've done a lot, but the main thing I wanted to do and have accomplished is making myself a home. In my own city untainted by bad memories. And I've done it. And I'm not talking about LA, I'm talking about this. Sitting with Colby on his kitchen floor, eating take out after a big night. This is home. And this is all I've ever wanted and more.
