Cora-
Colby was more relaxed now. Chris didn't feel like coming out with us.
"I'm gonna get you back", he said, loud so I could hear him over the music.
"Why?", I asked.
"You made me think you were going out with another guy and I had to find a flight all the way here and miss training with Marek", he said.
"So you rather be wrestling than with me", I said pouting.
He smirked and leaned his forehead against mine.
"You know where I'd rather be babe", he said.
I smiled. His lips brushed mine. Someone bumped into him and he turned.
"Scott?", I asked.
"Oh hey Cora", he said smiling.
Colby looked at him and then back at me, rasing a brow.
"Who's this?", Scott asked, pointing at Colby.
Colby laughed.
"I think we both know who I am, that's why you bumped into me asshole", Colby said, standing toe to toe with Scott.
"Colby, please don't", I said, pulling on his arm.
"You think I'm scared of you", Scott said, pushing Colby.
"I think you're jealous", Colby replied.
Colby pushed back and then punched him. I pulled Colby and dragged him outside. He paced.
"Colby what the hell", I said.
"Who was that guy?", he asked angry.
"An ex", I said.
He shook his hand and looked at his knuckles. Blood dripping from them. I walked back into the club and grabbed some napkins. Colby walked back in too and started for Scott.
"Hold on big guy", I said, stopping him.
I pulled him back out and pushed him up against the wall. I grabbed his hand and cleaned off the blood.
"Stop being mad", I said.
"I can't. What happens when I leave? He's here and I'm not", he said.
"That doesn't mean I'm going to see him", I said.
He looked up at me and nodded.
"Come to Iowa with me? I have an apartment and you wouldn't have to work, I can take care of you", he said.
"I like working, I'm not meant to be a houswife", I said giggling.
"Don't knock it till you try it", he said smirking.
"Also, my sister needs me and I can't leave her", I said.
"Can't or won't?", he asked.
I kissed him.
"I have never left my sister's side, she needs me", I said.
"She's a big girl", he said.
"You don't understand", I said softly.
Colby-
Cora's grandparents had me in a guest room downstairs. I couldn't sleep, I wanted to see Cora. Thinking of how to get upstairs without them hearing. The stairs creak. Would her grandparents hear them? A soft knock at the door, then it opened. Cora came in smiling. I lifted the covers and she laid close to me.
"So about Iowa?", I asked.
"This relationship is still new and I don't want to jinx it by moving to Iowa with you", she said.
"I'd never do anything to hurt you kid", I said.
She kissed me.
"Please lets just see where this goes before we plan anything else", she said.
"I see us getting married and kids, I see us happy", I said.
She smiled.
"Speaking of marriage, Kat and Jesse's wedding is coming up", she said.
"Is that a hint to being your date for that day", I said.
She giggled.
"Maybe", she said.
"Of course I'll be your date, I'm your boyfriend", I said.
"Well boyfriend, are we just going to lay here all night or are you going to make love to me", she said.
"I like the second option", I said.
"Good, me too", she smiled.
Her lips hit mine.
Cora-
Colby and I have been together almost three months now. I still haven't gone to Iowa, work wouldn't let me. Colby came as often as he could. Today was Jesse and Kat's wedding. She had us in a light pink knee length dress and heels. Our hair in ponytails and bouquet of white roses.
"I hate pink", Chris mumbled.
I chuckled, she never liked the color. She kept biting her lip, a sign she was nervous.
"You okay?", I asked.
"He's not here", she said sad.
"Its only ten in the morning, there's still time", I said.
She took a deep breath.
"Is Colby here yet?", she asked.
"Yeah, he's sitting with Ryan and Marek", I said.
"I hate pink", she said again, brushing down the dress.
"Got it the first time you said it", I laughed softly.
"I thought maybe you'd fight her on the heels", she said.
"I was going too, but the look she gave me scared me a little so I dropped it", I said.
She laughed. Kat came into the room. She looked so pretty in her wedding dress. The music started and the wedding planner came in and ushered us out. Getting in line. I was walking out with my cousin Luis and Chris was walking out with Isaac.
Walking down the aisle, my eyes met Colby's. He was smiling and he winked at me. I couldn't help but smile. The wedding cermony went smooth and Jesse cried a little. Colby stood beside me.
"Nice dress kid", he said, lifting it on one side.
I brushed his hand away.
"You really look pretty, kiss please", he said.
I pecked his lips and watched my sister scan the room.
"Who is she looking for?", Colby asked.
"Joe", I said.
"Should we help? I want to meet this guy. What does he look like?", he asked.
"You can't miss him. Tall, killer smile that makes your knee's weak", I said.
"Got it, if my legs give out on me its him", he said.
I pinched his arm. I saw Joe's parents. They went up to Chris and hugged her tight. I went over and they hugged me too.
"We missed you girls. How have you been?", she asked.
"Good, happy", Chris said.
"That's good sweetheart. Any plans on going back to Florida?", his dad asked.
Chris stayed silent.
"We haven't really thought about it, but maybe. Chris is working on becoming a vet", I said.
"You always did love animals. How's Elvis by the way?", Mrs. Anoa'i asked.
"He's big and always hyper, runs around like crazy", Chris said.
They laughed.
"Well we are going to go say hi to your brothers, see you at the party later", Mr. Anoa'i said.
We nodded. Chris looked down.
"He might come later, there's still a chance", I said.
"Cora, just please don't. Not today okay", she said.
She walked away and Colby put his arm around me.
"He didn't come?", Colby asked.
"He might show up later, why doesn't anyone have any faith", I said.
I was going to walk away, but he held me tight.
"Listen, I don't know this guy like you do, but if you say he's going to show up then I believe you", he said.
"You'll like him, trust me. You'll be best friends in no time", I said smiling.
"Good, if we're going to be family we need to get along right", he said.
I kissed him.
"Lets get to the party, the sooner this is over with, the sooner I can get you out of this dress and into my bed", he said.
"Is sex all you think about?", I asked.
"We haven't seen each other in two weeks and I'm feeling it here", he said pouting.
I bit his bottom lip. He groaned.
"I love you, Cora", he said.
I froze, I was in shock. Did I hear him right?
"Did you hear me? I said", I stopped him.
"I heard you", I said.
"You don't have to say it back right now, take your time", he said.
He took my hand and we went to the party.
