Sam and Colby: The Penitentiary

13

I put on a pair of Colby's joggers and tied the bottom of his shirt that I was wearing so it wasn't halfway past my legs anymore, then turned to him.

                "Come downstairs?" I asked.

                "Sure," he said. He got out of bed and held my hand, leading the way down the stairs and into the kitchen. Sam, Kat, and Jake were all in there. They stopped talking when we walked in, their eyes moving down to look at me and Colby's hands clasped together.

                "Well that didn't take very long," said Jake.

                "What, you thought it would?" asked Kat.

                "They're the most stubborn people I know," said Jake.

                "Fair point," Sam said.

                "Hah! I told you," Corey said, walking into the kitchen with Tara and Devyn.

                "Yeah, yeah," Jake muttered.

                "Wait, what?" I asked.

                "Jakey poo owes me ten bucks," said Corey.

                "Are you fucking serious?" asked Colby.

                "What! I said it'd take at least two weeks and he said it'd take a max of two days," said Jake.

"You guys are terrible," said Tara.

"Hey, fuckers," Reggie said, walking into the kitchen. "Oh shit, that didn't take very long."

"Oh my god," said Colby.

                "Do you just live here now?" I asked.

                "No," said Reggie.

                "Yes. Yes we do," Kevin said, coming in behind him.

                "Okay, we don't sleep here," said Reggie.

                "And that's basically it," said Kevin. "When did that happen?"

                "Oh my lord," I said. "We're going to leave now."

                "Where are we going?" Colby asked.

                "I don't know, not here," I said.

                "Fine by me," said Colby. I grabbed my keys off of the table by the door where I'd left them and went out to my car with Colby.

                "Want to get some smoothies?" I asked.

                "Sure, whatever you want," he said.

                "Well I want a smoothie, so that's a yes," I said. We got into the car and drove a little bit before I parallel parked on the side of the road. Colby started laughing when I turned off my car.

                "What?" I asked.

                "You do that on purpose?" he asked.

                "What? Do what?" I asked.

                "This parking spot," he said.

                "What the fuck are you talking about?" I asked.

                "Let me remind you," he said. "Stay here."

                "Uh, okay?" I said. Colby hopped out of the car and then got into the backseat.

                "Hey. I'm Colby. Go," he said, smiling at me.
