"Cora??" I heard ring through the room, causing my eyes to shoot open. Shit! I was laying in the bath tub still, which was now filled with cold water. My face mask extremely hard. "What time is it?!" I yelled out to the person outside the door. "It's 4pm" Colby's voice laughed from the other side. "Oh my god..give me a second." I said grabbing a washcloth and scrubbing the face mask off my face. So much for relaxing.
Once I got the face mask off I got out of the bath, drained the water, and wrapped a towel around myself. When I opened the door, Colby was leaned against the wall with a smirk. "Did you fall asleep?" I covered my face with embarrassment, "yeah...with a face mask on and everything." He smiled and pulled me closer to him, "you're the cutest thing I have ever seen." He grabbed my face and kissed me. I melted into the kiss and let him hold me.
Once we broke away I looked into his eyes. "Where are we going for this date?" He smirked, "you'll see." I pouted for a second before he grabbed both of my shoulders and spun me around, "go get dressed" he said smacking my ass causing me to laugh. "What should I wear?" I said walking into the bedroom. "The outfit on the bed" I turned around to look at him for a second, "what??" He smiled, "I got you a new outfit for the date, just put it on." I smiled and turned around to see a black dress and denim jacket sitting next to some new black vans. I closed the door and got changed.
I usually struggled with my body and hated when other people tried to dress me but when I looked in the mirror I felt like a million dollars. I quickly did my makeup and pulled my hair out of the bun it was in. My hair fell into natural waves around my face. When I opened the door Colby was sitting in the living room. I walked to him and sat on his lap. "You look gorgeous baby" he kissed me and I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I love you." I whispered, placing my forehead on his. "I love you too." We sat

like that for a minute until he stood up, lifting me with him. He set me on my feet and smiled, "let's go."
We drove to the restaurant, it was a cute Italian place with a beautiful patio. "When are the others coming?" I said as he laced his fingers through mine, "we are going to meet them at the bowling alley. I wanted you to myself first." I blushed and pushed my hair behind my ear.
We were sat outside, right next to an ivy wall. It was so beautiful. When I looked up Colby was staring at me with loving eyes. "What?" I said and laughed as he grabbed my hand, "you're gorgeous." He said and kissed my hand. "You're not looking too bad either." I said and bit my lip as the waitress came over. "Can I get you guys started with something to drink?" She said but didn't look at me. She only stared at Colby, and bit her lip seductively. I coughed slightly, "I'll have water please." I smiled fakely at her.
"Mhm. And you?" Her eyes still burning into Colby. He kept his eyes on me, "water. Thanks" I smirked at his disinterest in her. She walked away, "you're hot when you're jealous." He said and looked down at the menu. "She was literally eye fucking you, Colby. Of course I'm going to be jealous." I looked at the menu as the waitress came back. She placed Colby's water on the table then looked at me and leaned down so the cup on her tray would fall and spill on me. I got up quickly as cold water hit me. "I'm so sorry!" She said in a fake apologetic tone. "It's fine." I sighed out, trying to keep myself together. "I'll be back." I said and Colby looked at me with sad eyes. I turned before I let the tears fully form.

As I walked away I heard Colby yell at her, telling her he wanted a different server. I quickly walked to the bathroom wiping my face. I wasn't upset. Just embarrassed. And annoyed.
I grabbed paper towels and started drying off my clothes as tears rolled down my cheeks. An older lady walked in the bathroom, "oh honey are you okay?" She said and stopped to put her hand on my shoulder, "yeah.." she sighed, "I saw what that waitress did. She's just jealous that a beautiful girl like you got a handsome man like him. Don't cry sweetie, don't give her the satisfaction." I smiled at her kindness and nodded, "yeah, I'm just embarrassed I guess." I admitted and wiped my eyes with the paper towels.
"Don't be, everyone saw that she was the problem, hopefully the bitch loses her job." I laughed and she walked out of the bathroom. I took a deep breath and went back to the table. "Babe I-" I sighed, "it's okay Colby. Really." I smiled and sat back down. "Let's start over." I smiled as the corners of his lips went up. "Alright." He grabbed my hand again.
Once our food came Colby pulled his phone out and took a picture of me. "What are you doing?" I giggled. "I want to show you off." He smiled at his phone. "The fans don't know we are dating yet Colby" I said quietly as I pushed the spaghetti around my plate. "Well they are going to find out sooner rather than later..it's hard to edit around us in the new series. I won't post it if you don't want me to though." I took a deep breath. "No, it's fine..I'm just scared of them." He breathed a laugh, "I know. I am too. But if they aren't going to support you then they aren't really fans. We will get through this together." He smiled and pushed send on the story post.
"So after this we are going bowling??" I said and ate my pasta. "Yeah, is that alright?" I smiled, "yeah, everyone's gonna kick my ass though, I suck at bowling." He smiled, "I do too, we will lose together." I laughed, "that sounds perfect."
