Cody's POV
Come on Cody,I kept telling myself. Just say it.
How was I supposed to tell Bailey that I loved her? It seemed so easy at first, but now when ever I try to tell her I get tongue twisted.
Maybe I could write her a poem saying that I love her. No, that won't work; it wouldn't be the same if those words didn't come out from my mouth.
"Cody! Earth to Cody!" Bailey exclaimed. I hadn't noticed her there. "What are you thinking about?"
"Uh…nothing," I lied.
Bailey knit her eyebrows and put her hand on my shoulder. "You know you could tell me anything," she said, making me want to tell her even more.
How hard can it be to say those three little words? I mean I can tell Mom that, but not the girl I love! Ugh! I am such a wimp.
"Then why won't you tell me what's wrong?" she asked. Bailey was so beautiful and smart. Must be why I love her.
It's now or never. "Well, I have to tell you something," I began. "I…"
"Hey Cody!" I turned to see my annoying twin brother Zack. I saw an eight foot churro in his hand. "I just found out that the Smoothie Bar sells churros," he said excitedly.
I frowned. "So you just came to tell me that," I said annoyingly.
"Yeah!" he said. "I brought you on." He placed the churro in front of my face.
"Thanks I'll pass," I said more sure than ever.
"Suit your self," he said trotting away. He gets so annoying sometimes.
I turned back to Bailey and held her hands in mine. "Um…Bailey," I began again. "I well…I…I…"
All of a sudden I felt Bailey's lips on mine. I felt like my body was melting at the second. The moment was memorable. I felt so alive.
I totally love her. She's the only reason I'm alive. Well, also 'cause Mom gave birth to me and…Well you know what I mean.
We finally broke apart, our foreheads touching. I could hear our constant breathing. "Cody…" she began, but got interrupted again by the sound of London's "Yay me's."
Bailey let go of me and blushed. She looked so cute. "What is it London?" she asked.
London gave us one of her million dollar smiles. "I'm going on a date with Luca," she said. It was that guy she met in Rome. "He told me that he traveled all the way from Rome and was on the ship. Yay me!"
Bailey got up from her seat and gave her a hug. "That's great London," she said sweetly. "I'm so happy for you."
London gave a happy laugh. "I know!" she exclaimed. "Come on! You have to help me get ready." And just like that, London dragged Bailey away from me.
I got to tell Bailey that I love her. I bet Luca can tell London he loves her but I'm not to coward to tell her that. That'll be the day, when I tell Bailey I love her.
