JUST A DREAM
CHAPTER 1
I woke up exhausted for some reason. I turned my head to peek at the clock. Good only seven o' clock, I thought. My eyes widened in fear. I started to wiggle free from my beloved's embrace. He woke up startled, flashing me this horrid look.
"Bailes, what's the matter? What is going on?" Cody asked me. He was now looking at me with a confused expression. The laugh he had started to bellow at me was highly annoying me. I folded my arms across my chest and poked out my mouth; making it known that he was agitating me.
"Why are you laughing? Are you mocking me?" I asked frustrated with him.
"Sweetie, I am not mocking you the slightest bit. Bailey it is Saturday, we don't have school this morning. Now come lye back down for a bit won't you." Cody patted the empty space next to him where I had just been. I stood in bewilderment. How could I have not known it was Saturday? A crooked smile spread across my face in embarrassment.
I crawled quietly back into Cody's bed, careful not to wake up Woody. His breath was still minty fresh from the night before. I buried my face into his chest, listening to the rhythm of his heart beat. This had to be the best thing in the world. Me snuggling with my boyfriend; whom I loved so dearly. We had to be sneaky though, otherwise people would start to get suspicious about us. Especially Zack, he always had his mind in the gutter.
I often would think to myself how it would be if I were with Zack and not Cody. It seems as if Zack gave up on "us" the day we were at Parrot Island searching for London. Yes, I was very content with Cody; it's not like I really had something for Zack. I mean just the thought of him disgusted me. His unhealthy, immature habits and rude comments were atrocious in my mind. Cody he was sweet, polite, loved me, made me happy, made me laugh, allowed me to be myself; he accepted me and my corny southern ways of living.
Once I had come back to my senses, I realized Cody was holding me a bit closer than usual. I remember that we loved to cuddle, but we had our limitations set with that. I peered up into his crystal blue eyes. They were so mesmerizing. You could see the little green specs, embedded inside of the blue that glinted in the sun light.
He slowly ran his fingers across my cheek, stroking it lightly. He whispered into my ear, "You are so beautiful." A smile outlined the width of my face; I could feel my face slowly turning a bright red. I leaned up for a kiss. He gave the best kisses, whether they were long and romantic or quick and short. His face turned a light pink and he pulled me even closer. I was at loss for words.
He made me melt. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. He shook his head at me, and then kissed my lips again. How could I be so lucky to have a guy as wonderful as him? I didn't deserve that; to be treated like a queen. To Cody that is exactly what I was. I was everything to him and then some. I had known that he loved so much; words couldn't even begin to tell you really.
I laid there for a few more minutes. I was so thankful to have my guy right there next to me in that moment. To be in his arms gave me this weird sensation. Just for him to call me his girl gave made me the happiest woman on Earth. I was enjoying his company; that was until we heard a knock at the door.
"Psst, Cody are you in there? Cody, come here man!" Zack yelled on the other side.
