Isabelle woke up alone in bed, something that bothered her because she remembered falling asleep with Colby. She wouldn't be surprised if he left, everybody did. Him leaving would probably be the most reasonable thing he's ever done in their relationship. But that was the pessimist in her speaking.
"Hey, sleepyhead. I just ordered dinner." Colby greeted from the doorway and Isabelle sat up, staring at him with a smile. "What's up?"
"Nothing. I had a good nap." She chuckled as she got out of bed and he leaned against the doorframe, watching her stretch.
"I hope I made a good bed for you."
"Absolutely wonderful." She mumbled, kissing him softly. He smiled, wrapping his arm around her waist to hold her against him.
"You're wonderful, you know that?"
"You may have brought it up in conversation once or twice."
"I love you."
"I know." She spoke with a smile, pulling away and slipping passed him. He followed, almost like a lost puppy, sitting beside her on the couch and wrapping his arm around her shoulders. She leaned into him, smiling up at him and he pecked her lips.
"What happened with Allison? I you don't mind me asking, of course. If you don't want to talk about it, I understand."
"We broke up."
"I get that, but how?"
"She was being a bitch and basically dumped me. I'm still not sure how I feel about how I feel on that issue."
"Oh."
"Yeah..." She trailed off, drumming her fingers against her thigh. "What time do you leave tomorrow?"
"I don't want to talk about leaving." He muttered, taking her hand in his free one to cease the movements if her fingers.
"No?"
"I don't want to even think about it. If I could stay here with you forever, I would, Isabelle."
"Really?"
"Of course, pretty girl. You're my everything. Do you have any spring break plans?"
"Nope. What's up?"
"Do you want to travel with us while you're on break? I'm sure everyone would love to have you around. I know I would."
"If volleyball will allow it, I would love to spend my spring break with you."
"Really?" He asked, twirling her hair around his finger while she nodded.
"Of course. That's like two weeks with you, and everyone else, but I'd probably be with you most of that time."
"I like the sound of that." He said with a grin before kissing her nose. "You've got a cute nose." He observed just before there was a knock on the door. "That's probably dinner. I've got it."
"I'll pick out a movie." Isabelle volunteered, standing with him and heading for the bookcase with her DVD's on it while he went to answer the door.
"If a zombie apocalypse happened, would you stay here and wait for me to come to you?" Colby whispered into her ear and she shrugged from where she sat between his legs.
"If you asked me to, then I would... I suppose." Isabelle mumbled, stirring around the chow mein left in the container. "Do you want any more of this?" She asked and he nodded, opening his mouth so she could give him a mouthful before she turned back to the movie. A few minutes later he heard her yawn and smiled.
"Somebody's sleepy."
"Somebody wants to maximize her time with her boyfriend. I'll be fine."
"You sure?"
"I'm positive, Colby."
"Alrighty."
"If there was a zombie apocalypse, would you drop everything and hide out in Costco with me?"
"I'd leave in the middle of a match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to come to your rescue." He whispered in her ear and she smiled. "I'd bring Kevin and we would camp in Costco and shut out everyone else so we could be there until the apocalypse ended."
"And if it didn't?"
"We'd make a little Isabelle and a little Colby and we'd keep on going as long as we could. They'd be cute, too."
"It's a little soon for us to talk about kids, Colbs."
"Yeah, it is. Isn't it?" He mumbled into her hair and she nodded, leaning back into him. "Don't fall asleep on me now, pretty girl."
"I'm not. Just getting comfy. Don't you worry, handsome man."
"I'm not worrying. You relax, pretty girl." He kissed her head and she smiled, craning her neck to steal a kiss from him. She liked being with Colby. Having moments where all that existed in her world was Colby, and feeling like she was the only thing in his world. Of course, she didn't know what was going on in his head, but the way he looked at her made her feel like the only girl in the world. She loved that.
