In Another Life

57

I finished drying my hair, and turned the blow dryer off. I wanted to straighten it so that it wasn't frizzy but I thought about Colby just sitting in there waiting for me to be done. Instead, I grabbed my makeup bag and went to walk out, but I voices stopped me. It sounded like Sarah. I heard my name so I leaned closer to the door to hear what was being said. Yeah, I know I probably shouldn't have but I was curious. "You don't have to cover your eyes Sarah. Terra is in the bathroom fixing her hair. We haven't done- it's not like that." I heard Sarah laugh before she started talking. "I told you nothing would happen! T is too much of a goody goody, with her morality and shit. No matter how much shit she talks on Twitter, she wouldn't just fuck him!" Who the hell was she talking too? "Okay! I was just saying, my man Colby usually gets what he wants and I know he's wanting to-" Brennen. She was talking to Brennen. He stopped speaking so I opened the door, only to see him thrusting his hips, his hands held out in front of him like he was...well, you get the point. "Bro, stop," Colby said, pinching the bridge of his nose with his fingers, but I saw the smile that formed on his face. "Eh Ehm," I cleared my throat to let them know that I was in the room. Brennen stopped immediately, but laughed. "Oh hi Terra, didn't see you there." Colby's head shot up, his eyes connecting with mine. "Terra, I'm so sorry. He's a fool. I swear I didn't-" I raised my hand to stop him before he started rambling. "Colby, shut up. I know you're all a bunch of perverts. I watch your videos, remember? Don't worry about it." I felt a surge of courage swim through my veins, though I'm not sure why. Maybe it was because I wanted to prove that I wasn't hiding behind a computer screen all the time, or I wasn't such a goody goody, as Sarah had put it. "Besides, morals or not, when I'm ready to fuck you, you'll know," I replied, my voice steady and calm. Oh my God, what the fuck did I just say? Why? The thirsty bitch from Twitter was escaping into the real world! I regretted it as soon as the words fell out of my mouth, but there was nothing I could do about it. Besides, the shocked look on Colby and Brennen's face made it worth it. Colby's mouth was hanging open, and I swear Brennen's eyebrows were in his hairline. Sarah busted out laughing, before she screamed "Yeesss Bitch! That's what I'm talking about! I knew you had it in you!" She walked over to me and threw her arm around my shoulder. "You are learning well, my child." I shoved her off of me laughing. "Get the fuck off of me, you crazy bitch." "Well, damn...I don't know what to say to that," Brennen said, his voice still full of shock. Colby still hadn't said anything, just staring at me like I was an alien or something. Did I go too far? My phone started vibrating, going crazy with notifications. "Jesus Christ, what the hell is going on?" I murmured, walking to the bedside table to pick it up. It was literally trying to vibrate off of the table. I unlocked it, and scanned my notifications. It was mainly comments on my last post, people screaming my name in all caps, and quite a few messages as well. "Everything okay?" Colby asked, clearing his throat. He still looked a little shocked, but he was recovering. I nodded, but kept my attention on my phone to see what was going on. I opened Instagram, and scrolled my notifications. "RAYNE COLBY LIKED!! CONGRATS BBY!!" "OMG RAYNE!!" Most of the comments were basically the same as this, and the messages too. Fuck. This wasn't the first time he had liked something of mine, but it was the first time while I was in his fucking presence. I went to the post that he had liked and read the caption. "Holy shit," I murmured, reading what I had put. The post was just an edited picture of Colby with no shirt on, but the caption...well, the caption was saying exactly what I wanted him to do to me, adding a please and thank you at the end. I knew my cheeks were flaming, but he didn't know it was mine. There was no way. He was just on Insta while I was in the bathroom. That's all. Luck of the draw. It was a coincidence. I scrolled the notifications further and noticed that a lot of random people had tagged me in someone that I didn't knows post. I tapped the screen, letting it take me to the post. "Oh my God," I exclaimed. My phone fell out of my hand and landed on the carpeted floor, but I just left it there. It was my turn to be in shock. The picture. It was a picture of me getting out of the pool, Colby watching me very intently. They knew it was me. The fandom was asking if it was me. Shit! What do I do? Ignore it? Say it not's me? "Terra? Are you okay?" I looked back up to Colby, seeing a smug little smile on his face. Why was he looking smug? There's no way that he knew that was my account. I cleared my throat, and ran my fingers though my hair again, before bending over to pick up my treacherous phone. "Yeah, I'm okay. Just some people wanting to talk about Playlist. It's nothing important." My phone continued to buzz in my hand, constantly, so I turned it on silent. Sarah noticed the look on my face and got a worried expression. "T, are you sure? Did they find out that you're with Colby? Do I need to start beating bitches ass's?" I let out a shaky laugh and glanced at Colby quickly. He was still staring at me, but the smug expression had turned a little worried. "No, it's fine. Everything is fine. What are we doing today?" I asked, wanting to change the subject.
