When the video was over, Sam and Colby were both back on a plane, headed to LA. Sam wanted to mention the kiss, he so badly did, but he could not be stuck thousands of miles up in the air if it went badly.
It's not like Sam didn't like the kiss, I mean who wouldn't. But all he could think about was the not talking and Gabi. And if Colby were to say it meant nothing, Sam would believe it, and he couldn't lose this chance because he mentioned it at the wrong time.
So he just didn't dare to look at him in the eye. He couldn't. And before they knew it, they had landed, and were already on the way home.
"Drop me off at Gabi's." Colby spoke, it wasn't harsh, more so cold and bitter, but it was also sad. Sam didn't object, trying not to start an argument that could make everything worse, he just continued driving.
When the got there, Colby pulled his spare key out of his pocket and fumbled with the door handle a bit before finally getting out of the car. Sam decided to follow after him, just to make sure he got in safely.
He stayed behind, but Colby noticed his tailing, deciding to ignore it. Once he finally got to her apartment he paused, he heard muffled noises. Nothing distinct, but definitely sounds, loud sounds.
He continued to unlock it, finally opening the door.
The door opened loudly, and the noises immediately stopped. After a few seconds Gabi's head stuck out from her bedroom. Fear covered her face.
"Hey, babe, what was that noise?" Colby asked sternly, walking towards her.
"Nothing! I'll be out in a second." Gabi squeaked  out, closing the door hardly. Colby didn't like the sound of that, rushing towards the door and banging on it harshly.
He heard the rushed sound of footsteps and two people whispering, and a door being closed. Then seconds later Gabi's door was wide open, her smiling face emerging, red and flustered. Her lipstick was smudged and her hair a mess. If Colby looked close enough, he could see light hickeys on her neck and collarbones.
"What the fuck Gabi!" Colby muttered, pushing her out of the way and barging into her room, heading straight(gay) for the bathroom. He didn't listen to her protesting, he flung the door open and there stood a stranger, a man, not too tall, dark haired, his shirt unbuttoned, most likely from being shoved into the bathroom in a rush.
"Gosh Gabi! I had my suspicions but this is just gross." Colby spat out, tears rolling down his cheeks.
Sam the whole time was standing right out side the room, holding Gabi back, while shocked at the whole situation.
"Hey, leaver her alone bro!" The man spoke, he sounded drunk, even though it was only three pm. He starting getting up, wobbling a bit, before fixing his stance and facing towards Colby in anger.
Colby couldn't even respond before a punch was sent his way, it was like a movie scene.
The man attacked Colby, all his body weight on one punch aimed right at Colby's jaw. It was so quick, he could barely respond before the others hand met his jaw. Â Propelling him backwards a few feet.
Colby took a second to react to the sudden punch, before feeling the intense pressure in his jaw as the exhilaration exited his brain. He cupped his injury with his left hand, attempting to balance on his feet again.
When he finally was able to regain balance and was brought back, Sam was by his side, yelling at the drunk guy, who had stumbled backwards, falling into the bathtub. Â Sam helped hold Colby up as they made their way back to the main entrance.
Gabi didn't have anymore words, and neither did the two, who simply flipped her off as they made their way out of the apartment. (Who r these DIVASSS)
Sam led Colby towards the car, helping him reach the passenger side, before going around and opening his own door.
"That was insane." Sam sighed, still in shock from the past moments.
"I should have known, I mean I assumed but I didn't want to admit it to myself." Colby spoke, hiding his face in his palms, avoiding his achy jaw, where a bruise was already forming.
"Dude, don't beat yourself up! You didn't do anything, it's completely her fault and you should be glad you found out, even if it sucks." Sam said, turning on the car.
"I guess your right." Colby mumbled, rubbing his jaw slightly, wincing in pain.
They spent the rest of the drive home in mostly silence, before finally reaching their house. They didn't even bother to unpack, they instead unlocked to door and crashed on the couch.
After a few moments, Sam got up and swiftly entered the kitchen, opening their freezer and pulling out a bag of frozen peas, the closest thing they had to an ice pack. He went back into the living room, and flung the icy bag at Colby, missing his chest and hitting him square in the jaw.
"AUGHHH! WHAT THE!" Colby shouted, grabbing the bag and squeezing it in pain.
"OH MY! I'm so sorry, oh are you okayyy!" Sam hurriedly rushed over to the other, who just stuck his other hand up to stop Sam. The blonde halted and decided to let him calm down, sitting at his feet.
they sat there in silence for a while, thinking. Sam specifically thinking about the trip. He so desperately wanted to mention the interaction that he'd been thinking about for days, especially after  Colby being newly single.
So he decided to go for it.
"About that kiss..."
