Lucky

16

I woke up to Daisy singing in the shower, which would usually annoy me but today it was actually a blessing.

I wanted to be awake, and I couldn't wait for what today was going to bring.

I reached for my phone as I rubbed my eyes, checking my texts.

Unknown number: Good morning, Vi. It's Colby. Let me know when you're awake. Can't wait to see you today 🖤

I felt my cheeks heat up as my heart started beating out of my chest in the best way possible. I still couldn't explain this feeling, and I don't think I ever would.

I didn't care though. I was happy.

I quickly texted him back and saved his number then checked my other texts.

Jarrod: hey, work has been boring without you. Miss you, V.

Shit. I forgot about Jarrod. He really was a good friend to me, but I knew he liked me. If I would have randomly went on a trip and came back with a boyfriend he would be crushed.

Colby wasn't my boyfriend though. He was just a fling.

I didn't respond to Jarrod because I didn't want to lead him on in any way.

When I got out of bed Daisy was coming out of the bathroom, "hey! You're up!" She said with a smile on  her face. "Good morning." I said then stood up and stretched.

"How'd you sleep?" I asked and went over to my suitcase. "Pretty good, what do think I should wear today? I want to look hot for Colby." She said as I sucked in a small breath. "Oh! Uh maybe just wear some merch. I think they would like that." I said and pulled out a black sweatshirt and some yoga pants.

"Okay yeah, you're right." She said as I walked to the bathroom to get ready.

I looked in the mirror and started taking my braids out so that my hair would be wavy. I brushed my teeth then got dressed, throwing my hood over my head. I decided to do some light makeup just because I knew I would be on camera.

When I finished getting ready I opened the door so I could go back to the bedroom. "Good morning, Vi." Sam said as he and Colby waved to me. "Good morning." I said then walked to my suitcase.

As I walked by I noticed Colby subtly looking me up and down causing me to blush slightly. "So, we were thinking about getting iHop. That sound good to you?" Sam asked as I nodded. "Sounds good! What else are we doing today?" I asked and sat on the bed next to Sam.

"Well I'm a dumbass and forgot I needed to film a video for my personal channel. So we have to do that today if you guys are down for it." Colby said as I shrugged.

"Yeah, what were you thinking?" I asked and put my hands in my front pocket. "Well, how good at makeup are you?" Colby asked as I shrugged, "I know a thing or two." I said as Daisy rolled her eyes.

"Vi, you're so good at makeup!" She said as I shook my head, "Daisy is much better, what kind of makeup were you thinking?" I asked as Daisy finally sat down next to Colby.

"Halloween makeup, like spooky as fuck, I'm gonna haunt your dreams type shit." He said with a bright smile which made my heart skip a beat.

Damn I was falling hard.

"That's gonna be soooo fun!" Daisy said and put her hand on Colby's as I looked over at Sam. "Are you getting your makeup done also?" I asked as he laughed, "of course I am. Halloween is my ish." He said as I nodded. "Partners?" I asked and held my pinky out to him. "Partners." He said and linked his pinky through mine.

We ended up going to ihop and getting some breakfast while we planned out the video.

"So Daisy will do my makeup, Vi will do Sam's and we let the fans decide who wins." Colby said and put a piece of toast in his mouth.
