Colby-
I woke up to Cora in my arms. I smiled and buried my face into her hair. She smelled so good. I brushed my lips against her cheek.
"What are you doing?", she mumbled sleepily.
"Memorizing you", I whispered.
"Why?", she asked.
"I'm afraid you're gonna run away from me again", I said.
"I have to go, my flight is tonight and I have to pack. I didn't mean to stay the night", she said, sitting up.
I sat up too.
"No, stay with me a little longer", I said, kissing her neck.
"Colby", she sighed.
"How about a shower first?", I asked smirking.
"You're unbelievable", she said, rolling her eyes.
I kissed her.
"I have to go", she said.
"Then what about lunch?", I asked.
She nodded.
"Okay", she said.
"Yes baby, thank you. Wait you are gonna show right?", I asked.
"Yes Colby", she smiled.
I kissed her again.
"Now I have to go, I'll see you for lunch", she said.
"I'll be waiting", I said.
Cora-
Getting back to my room, my smile never leaving my face. I heard moaning from the room. Walking further in, Ryan and Chris were in bed together.
"What the hell?", I asked shocked.
Ryan moved away from Chris.
"I think I should go", he said.
"Damn right you should", I said angry.
I covered my eyes when he stood. He got dressed and left. I looked at Chris.
"What the hell Chris?", I yelled.
She got dressed and ran her hand through her hair.
"What about Joe?", I asked.
"What about him? For all I know he's doing the same damn thing", she said angry.
She sighed.
"Cora, I think its time I move on", she said.
"No, no your not because Joe's the one, I know it and you know it", I said.
"Cora, I'm done and I'm tired of being sad. I need to move on in order to be happy", she said.
She stood.
"I'm gonna take a shower", she said.
She walked into the bathroom and I heard the shower turn on. I pulled my phone out and dialed Joe's number. Hoping it would make him get off his ass and find her. Its been a while.
"Hello", a female voice answered.
I couldn't believe it.
"Hello?", the voice asked again.
"Sorry yes, I'm looking for Joe Anoa'i", I said.
"I'm sorry you have the wrong number", she said.
"I'm sorry", I hung up.
How could they just forget about each other? What if I let Colby in and he does the same thing? One minute we mean everything to each other and the next he forgets me. I brought my knees up to my chin, I was scared of getting hurt. I wasn't as strong as Chris, I couldn't take it. I wiped the tear that slipped.
Colby-
Ryan gave me their room number and I went down to see Cora. I knocked on the door and Chris smiled.
"Hey, come on in", she said.
I walked in and looked around.
"Its safe to say you didn't leave this time", I said.
She laughed.
"Yeah", she replied.
Cora came out from the bathroom, I exhaled softly. She was still here.
"Ready to go?", I asked.
"We need to talk", she said.
"I'll leave you two alone", Chris said.
"No, stay", Cora said.
Chris sat down and I went to sit next to her.
"This isn't going to work out", she said.
I looked at Chris and she looked just as surprised as I did.
"Cora, but I thought", she stopped me.
"You honestly think we could last? It's not", she said.
"It will if you give it a chance", I said.
She shook her head no.
"Ask her. People fall out of love all the time, they forget about each other and act like nothing is wrong", she said.
I looked at her sister, Chris closed her eyes.
"Cora, what happened between me and Joe is", she stopped her.
"He forgot. He told you he loved you and let you walk away. He didn't chase you and now he changed his number", she said crying.
"I know, Cora", her sister said.
"What?", Cora asked her.
Chris wiped her wet cheeks. She stood.
"I called him, well tried, but someone else answered", she stopped.
Chris shrugged.
"It's about time I move on too, but that doesn't mean that what happened to me is going to happen to you. Give him a chance", she said.
Cora wiped her cheeks.
"He is not Joe. He is chasing you and he's not giving up. Cora, he's your Peter Pan", Chris said.
Cora laughed and hugged Chris. I raised my hand and stood.
"I'm lost", I said.
They laughed again. Cora took my hand.
"You have to promise you won't forget me", she said.
"Sweetheart I could never do that", I said, while my thumb softly rubbed her cheek.
She smiled up at me.
"So can we go out to lunch now?", I asked.
She nodded. I looked at her sister.
"You're more than welcome to come to Chris", I said.
"No its okay, I still need to pack", she said.
I nodded. We were about to leave and Cora looked back at her sister.
"For all its worth Chris, I know Joe still loves you", she said.
Chris gave her a small smile.
"We still have the wedding, he'll show up", Cora said to her.
"I can't wait to meet him", I said.
They both looked at me and smiled. We left. Cora stood outside their room door.
"We can stay if you like. Your sister looked really sad and you look like you don't want to leave her", I said.
"No, she'll just bottle it up if we stay and then it'll be worse later when she explodes", she said.
I nodded.
"She'll be okay", I said.
"Yeah", she agreed.
"Come on", I took her hand.
