Y/N
I've loved my time here in LA with colby and sam and all their friends but i recently fell in a funk. I miss my family and my friends.
you were scrolling through your photos and snapchat memories of your time in your hometown and started to feel really homesick, you began to cry, you laid back on you side and cried.
you missed your mom's delicious cooking, how she would make handmade tortillas, or her salsa picante. you didnt have that here and nor did anyone make it, you didnt have any hispanic friends in LA. You would only hang out with sam and colby's friends
you liked them but they sometimes including colby didnt understand your jokes or references. it sometimes pained you that you felt out of place around them.
you connected your speaker in the room that was given to you when you first moved to their house, and a song that reminded you of your dad started to play; its your dad's favorite song, and you couldn't control the sadness that flowed through your body
you spent a good two hours just crying and eventually calmed down but you were puffy eyed and your breathing was skipped
you sat up to recollect your self before colby came home and would come in your room, until another song started to play from your playlist, a heart wrenching song that reminded you of your beloved parents.
you started to cry again, you leaned back to the head board and clutched your body as you were singing to the lyrics
Colby came in the room all happy and giddy until he saw you crying
"oh my god! y/n are you okay? are you hurt? does something hurt?"
he was panicking trying to figure out why you were crying.
"no... nothings wrong" you got up quickly and turned around to wipe your face. he also got up to try to look at you but you kept avoiding him until he grabbed you face and made you look at him
"y/n.. somethings wrong, please just tell me"
"you wont understand" "just try me"
you mustered up the courage to tell him the truth. you looked at him and started to tear up again
"i-i just feel... i just started to feel homesick, thats all" colby was relieved that it wasnt anything life threatening
"oh, well why is that?"
"i dont know... i just miss home, like i really do. my family and friends, my culture and the food, everything" you looked at how he felt hurt about how you were talking about missing your family and friends.
"dont get me wrong, i love being here with you, you make being here so bearable but i just miss my people.. thats all" you half smiled
"no.. yeah i get that, is there anything i can do to make you feel better?"
"no its fine, i just need a couple minutes alone thats all"
"yeah yeah sure... ill be downstairs if you need me alright?"
you kissed him and hugged him tightly, feeling so safe in his arms.
"thank you, i love you"
"i love you too" he walked out and closed the door, feeling terrible that you felt that way, he wished he could do something about your homesickness
COLBY
as i walked back downstairs to sit with sam on the couch, he noticed my upset mood.
"Everything alright dude?" "uh.. yeah its just y/n is feeling homesick and sorta on the verge of going back home"
"oh shit dude, i definitely know what she's feeling" " do you think we've made her not feel at home? you think I haven't made her feel like home?" " i mean we haven't really done anything to make her feel at home"
"shit dude youre right, we haven't, i feel like the worst boyfriend ever. cant even make my girlfriend feel loved or feel like this is her home"
i started to think about ways to make her feel at home, i can cook her favorite food? no its too late for that, its almost 8
"what should i do sam?" "how about you take her to the other side of LA, take her some place authentic, not might be like where she's from but its the closest thing we got"
"yeah yeah you're right, let me go tell her!"
i ran upstairs and came up to her door, softly knocked to let her know i was coming in, she was still there in bed listening to her spanish music.
"hey y/n.. how you holding up?" "hi.. im doing alright, still trying to get my breathing under control" she let out a dry giggle
i caressed her face admiring her glossy eyes and her stained cheeks, leaning down to kiss her on her forehead, " i was thinking-" she sat up "what were you thinking"
"how about i take you out to eat some place special?" "ehh im not in the mood to eat colby" "no cmon i know a place, trust me"
Y/N
he looked at me with pleading eyes, "sure why not"
"alright get reading in ten minutes" "okay" you smiled and got up to get ready, he left the room to let you get dressed
you wore some ripped jeans with your white Mexico world cup jersey, and some black platform converse. added some mascara and some lip balm before leaving you grabbed your purse
you went downstairs and was greeted by colby waiting for you at the bottom of the stairs. "hey y/n!"
"hey sam"
"you ready to go babe?"
"yes of course!"
"but before we leave i need you to put this on"
he was holding a blindfold, you looked at him confused and he went behind you to put the blindfold on, you were about to protest before he kissed your cheek and wrapped the blindfold around your eyes
"alright lets go, bye sam!"
you headed out the door, stumbling trying to remember all the steps to get to the car, colby opened the car door and helped you inside.
"was the blindfold really necessary?" "yeah babe, i want to surprise you"
"it wont really be a surprise if we go to in n out" he laughed at the assumption
"how about i put some music on?" "hmm yeah okay" colby connected his phone to the car's bluetooth and a song you recognized easily came on. you started to sing along to song. Colby created a playlist on your favorite spanish-speaking songs. He had to stalk your public Spotify playlist to be able to create the playlist.
"omg i love this song!!" you started to sing the song, pointing the lyrics to Colby not knowing how much of a distraction you are creating for him on the road.
still with the blindfold on you continue to sing all the songs that played, surprised how many spanish songs kept coming on
"omg how do you know these songs?!" "did you stalk my spotify?" you let out a laugh, "gosh y/n no I didn't" yes he did
you laughed at him, knowing well that this is from your playlist, or you thought it was just your playlist he started to play.
"are we there yet?" "no"
"are we there yet now?" "almost"
"what about now?" "actually yeah we are"
"why did it take you so long to drive to in n out if its only a 15 minute drive from the house?"
as you heard opening his side of the door, he rushed over to open your door, "well babe, we arent actually at in n out"
confused, wondering where else he would have taken you
"well.. where are we-" you started to smell the char smell of meat... taco meat.
"omg it smells so good.. where are we..?"
"well let me cross you over the street to find out" "what?"
you started to take off the blindfold until he stopped you, "ah ah ahh, no taking this off yet until i say so" "omg colby where are we"
he guided you across the street, smelling everything. it smelled like home almost, you started to hear the steam of a grill and the music that you grew up listening to. Hearing chatter among people.. in spanish?
"colby... where are we?"
colby finally let go of you and starting to take the blind fold off of you, you adjust to the light and rubbing your eyes a bit to clearly see the scene.
taqueros and vendedores making and selling snacks and meals. hearing them laugh, sing, and speak spanish.
"oh my god.." you said under your breath looking all over, small tears start to well up. "colby.. what is this?"
"i felt really bad that you were feeling homesick, and i hate seeing you cry, so i thought maybe i try to bring home to you... I know this isnt exactly home but i love you so much that i would do anything for you and to show you how much you mean to me, i dont want you to go home, i want to always make you happy y/n"
your tears finally fell, you fully realized how special and loving colby was, you felt so warm and loved.
"Colby... this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, you have no idea how much this means to me, and for you to actually consider this idea really brings me to tears, i am so completely in love with you"
you grabbed his head and kissed him, deepening the kiss and full engulf his lips. you let go and admire his big beautiful eyes.
"gosh.. well cmon lets eat something, what kind of tacos do you want babe?" "ehh i have no clue what to get, everything looks so good, how about you order me something"
you smiled at him, wondering how did you get so lucky to have someone so special such as colby brock
you turned over to the taquero and smiled at him, the man smiling back at you and asking what you what would you like to eat.
