Chapter 2

"Great!" Cody exclaimed before looking down at London and smiling mischievously. "We're going to make this guy so jealous he won't know what to do." He told her and London nodded, heart beating faster as she looked into Cody's intense eyes.

She gulped wondering what he had in store for her. Well she'd soon find out.

"What are we going to do?" London asked softly, looking up at Cody who was clad in a black wife beater and white shorts, as they began to walk again.

Cody looked up, watching as Coach Turner made his way out of gym, as usual, to take the attendance to the front desk and patrol the halls and yell at the freshman. He loved to do that. Coach Little wasn't in class that day because he was around the school running errands for the principle. He was always doing something for someone else. The gym was completely unsupervised.

'Great' Cody thought.

"Well first……we're going to hold hands." Cody said, slowly reaching down and grabbing London's hand.

London was slightly surprised by the sudden contact and how good and how right it felt to hold Cody's hands. They were so warm and not hard like Michael's were.

This was definitely surprising since he was very built and muscular just like Michael. Cody had better legs though. He had so much muscle down in his legs; this came mostly from him playing soccer. Yup, Cody played soccer and he was good too. It was no basketball but it was definitely a good sport.

Cody was equally surprised pleasantly by how good it felt to hold London's hand. Her hands were so soft and he enjoyed how they felt in his slightly bigger hands.

London silently told herself not to get lost in the feelings that Cody was causing her to have. She didn't want to have those feelings. She had pushed them away last week and she didn't need them coming back.

"Holding hands is something more intimate than just talking and walking side by side. This'll get "dear old Michael's" attention." Cody explained, looking down at London who nodded as they continued walking around the gym hand in hand.

They rounded a corner and began walking down the side of the gym that gave them a perfect view of Michael. Michael had been shooting hoops with some of the other members of the team but had stopped to glance at the two.

He had a puzzled look on his face and was simply wondering why his ex-girlfriend was holding Zack's brother's hand. He knew who he was because Zack was on the basketball team with him. He however didn't know why they were holding hands but he knew that he didn't like it.

"Wow" London said in surprise as her eyes met Michael's before he looked away and pretended to refocus on basketball. "I can't believe it! It's working. Michael was just looking over here!" London exclaimed in complete shock.

"Well don't sound so surprised! I told you it would work!" Cody told her while looking down at the surprised girl with amusement.

"Now let's step it up a notch." Cody said huskily, looking down at London.

London looked away, blushing at the sound of Cody's voice while nervously biting her bottom lip. She wasn't sure that they should go any further. On one hand she wanted to make Michael jealous. She wanted to make him regret what he had given up, but she wasn't sure that she should be doing this with Cody. It was just too risky.

London didn't want to get caught up. She didn't want to get carried away because she knew that she would only be hurt as a result. It would give her false hope and only make her fantasize about something she knew she couldn't have, and that hurt too much.

Cody was just so smart, nice, funny, and just great to be around; plus he was downright handsome. He had changed so much in one year yet he hadn't changed much at all. He had started to work out and lift weights after being tired of being "skinny" and basically made of skin and bones. He had grown taller, but other than that he was still smart and he was still very nice and considerate. He was also a lot more confident though.

Any girl in the school would be happy just to have a conversation with him let alone go out with him and that's what London wanted. She wanted to go out with him. She wanted to be his girlfriend. She liked him a lot and her feelings for him were slowly developing into something even stronger than like and that scared London.

It was painful enough to like a guy that you knew was completely unattainable, but to love someone would be just completely unbearable. London didn't want to make herself feel like that so she had settled with flirting which was not that bad, but having all this contact with Cody, like she was now, wasn't good and she knew that.

"I don't know Cody……" she started.

"Oh c'mon London we have his attention! C'mon we were just getting started!" he exclaimed with pleading eyes.

She looked into Cody's blue eyes and slowly brought her head down in thought.

'I know I'm going to regret this later.' London thought to herself, yet she couldn't help but be curious as to what Cody was going to do next.

"Fine" she sighed.

Cody grinned widely before looking at her skeptically.

"Are you sure London? Cause as much as I want to do this, I don't want you to do anything that you don't want to." He said looking down at her with concerned eyes.

He was just too sweet; always thinking about her feelings.

"I'm sure Cody." London replied, smiling at him reassuringly. And she was. She wanted to do this.

"Alright…..well now I'm going to put my arm around your waist okay? If there's anything that'll make a guy jealous it's seeing another guy with his arm around his girl." Cody explained before cautiously wrapping his arm around London's waist.

London couldn't help but sigh contently at the feel of Cody's arm wrapped around her. She just felt so good, safe yet in danger at the same time.

Her skin tingled in every single spot where they touched and London found herself laying her head on his shoulder as the two continued to walk around the gym at a very slow pace.

Cody sighed enjoying the feel of London's head on his shoulder as he subconsciously pulled her closer to him.

He inhaled her raspberry shampoo and wondered how it was possible for someone to smell so good. He enjoyed their close vicinity and enjoyed holding her, even if it was just with one arm.

They continued walking around the gym before one of the seniors opened up the closet with all the balls in it and started to throw them onto the court, signaling that they could now stop walking.

The two reluctantly broke apart before London looked up at Cody with questioning eyes.

"What now?" she asked.

Cody didn't respond right away. He looked straight ahead of him for a moment before bringing his attention back down to London.

"Wow you should see Mike! He can't take his eyes off of us!" he told her, a smile on his face as he chuckled softly.

"Really?" London asked.

"Yup" Cody nodded his head. "And to answer your question, now we're going to…….watch the volleyball game." He said, a huge grin marring his features.

London looked at him confused.

"Why?" she asked.

"You'll see" Cody replied, grabbing her hand and leading her over to the volleyball net, which was right in the middle of the gym. The two stood on the sidelines side by side before Cody spoke.

"This is totally going to set him off." Cody warned before moving slightly.

"What are you going to do?" London asked suspiciously, stopping Cody's movement.

"Do you trust me?" Cody asked her.

London looked at him for a moment before nodding her head.

"Then I'll show you okay." He answered before walking behind London and wrapping both of his arms around her waist. He pulled her close to him.

London gasped at the movement but then attempted to calm herself down but it was so hard. They were so close!! If her body was tingling before, it was on fire now!

London felt as if she couldn't breathe and that she might explode any second by being so close to him. She could feel his masculine chest against her back and she enjoyed the feel of his hands on her stomach.

Cody was loving this; absolutely loving this. His cheek was pressed against the side of London's head and he was holding her. He was holding London in his arms! Her intoxicating scent floated into Cody's nostrils in huge repeating waves and her soft hair tickled his cheek as he held her close, longing to run his hands through it.

He took a deep breath before lowering his lips, which were at level with her temple, down to her ear.

"You smell good." He whispered in her ear, causing her to shudder at the feel of his warm breath on her earlobe. Cody couldn't help the silly grin that made its way onto his face. He had made London do that.

London took a deep, calming breath before replying.

"Thanks" she spoke softly. She couldn't believe this was all happening. It seemed like a dream. London was now fighting, with everything she had, not to get caught up in the sensations.

Cody reluctantly released her. She sighed at the lost contact before turning around to face him.

For the first time that day, Cody was looking nervous and….anxious. She looked up into his blue eyes and felt her heart melt.

He looked into her brown eyes, getting lost in her endless pools.

"There's one more thing if you're up to it………." Cody spoke softly, looking down at her, all thoughts of Michael completely forgotten. Cody began to wonder if it had ever even been about the guy for him.

"What's that?" London whispered, not taking her eyes away from his.

Cody took a deep breath and licked his lips before he slowly began to move forward.

London couldn't believe what was about to happen. Cody was about to kiss her! She was so excited, but she was also scared because she pretty much knew that she wouldn't be able to control her feelings for him after this; yet she found herself leaning in to meet him half way.

"This" Cody whispered before their lips met in a searing kiss.

Cody was overwhelmed with happiness. He was kissing London. He never thought that this would be happening in a million years. He couldn't get over how soft her lips were and how they fit together like a perfect puzzle; his lips cradling her top lip and her lips cradling his bottom. He'd never felt this way when he'd kissed Barbara.

Sparks and fireworks seemed to be going off in London's head as she kissed Cody. It was even better than she'd ever imagined. He made Michael seem like nothing.

Cody broke away from her briefly only to meet her lips again in another kiss. London sighed contently at the contact and Cody smiled into the kiss before doing it once more.

London licked Cody's lip begging for him to deepen the kiss. Cody was basically cheering inside at the action and gladly opened his mouth to oblige. London wrapped her arms around Cody's neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

London let Cody control the kiss and couldn't believe what a great kisser he was. The two were soon completely lost in complete bliss and completely lost in each other as they explored one another's mouth. The two broke apart for air, both panting heavily. Cody had a big smile on his face and London had a look of utter shock as the two looked at each other.

Cody moved in still breathing heavily and kissed her briefly before moving away from her. The two were so lost in each other that they didn't even notice Michael walking, no marching, over to them.

The jock rushed over to them, roughly pushing Cody, and taking him off guard.

"What is this?! What are you doing with my girl?!" the guy asked angrily.

Copy stumbled back before catching his balance. He glared at the jock before rushing and pushing him back with equal strength.

"That's ex-girl punk!" he spat.

London watched the entire altercation in a state of shock.

"Cody you don't have to do this…." She started.

"It's okay." Cody said, giving her a reassuring look. "I've got this." He said before sending her a breathtaking smile.

She sighed not wanting to see a fight but decided not to interfere.

"That doesn't mean you get to kiss her!" Michael shouted. The two had quickly gained the attention of the entire gym and everyone began to circle around the two.

"Actually it does clueless! You messed up! You gave her up! That makes her a free woman!" Cody shouted back.

Michael fumed over Cody's reply before sneering at the guy,

"Wow. What a downgrade. She went from dating the star quarter back to dating some soccer chump." He spat.

"Well this soccer chump can kick your ass!" Cody threw back.

Michael chuckled evilly, shaking his head.

"No! I'm going to kick your ass for coming in here and disrespecting me like that!" he exclaimed before throwing a punch at Cody.

Cody dodged it with ease. He was pretty quick on his feet, an advantage of playing soccer.

"Dang man. You missed!" Cody taunted before a fuming Michael threw another punch at him at which Cody dodged again.

"Wow. Can you even hit me once?!" Cody said, smirking at the slightly bigger guy. London thought that Cody was ultra sexy right at that moment. He was just so tough and so good…and he was fighting for her. And it didn't hurt that he looked fine as hell.

The guy threw yet another punch at him and Cody blocked it before throwing a punch at Michael which successfully connected with his jaw.

The crowd "oohed" as Michael slightly stumbled back at the contact.

The angry senior moved forward again only to be pulled back by one of his team mates just as Cody's soccer friend Demetrius made his way through the crowd and over to Cody.

"Yo man ya'll need to break this up before coach comes back and you get suspended for the season!" Michael's team mate told a still livid Michael.

"Yeah Cody. Ya'll need to break it up. Besides he's not even worth it." Demetrius said the last part only so Cody could hear as Cody contemplated his decision.

"Fine" he said allowing Demetrius to lead him out of the crowd. London followed.

"All I want to do is talk to London!" Michael yelled out, stopping the three in their tracks.

"Can you talk to me London? Just for a second?" he asked. London turned around to see Britney at his side, arguing this suggestion, but Michael was ignoring her.

She turned around looking at Cody.

"You don't have to do it." he told her. She nodded before turning back to Michael. Something inside of her just wanted to hear what he had to say. She wondered what in the world he could possibly have to say. Her curiosity got the better of her.

"I'm just going to see what he has to say." London told Cody, pointing in Michael's direction before turning around and making her way over to him.

Cody sighed as he watched London's retreating form. After all they'd just done, she was still going to talk to him. Cody couldn't believe it but at the same time he wasn't too surprised. Demetrius patted him on the back sympathetically, as they made their way over to the bleachers and sat down.

"You want to talk about it?" he asked.

"Naw. Thanks man but I just want to be alone right now." Cody replied. Demetrius sighed, nodding his head in understanding as he got up, leaving Cody to his thoughts.

Cody berated himself for getting his hopes up and thinking that things could possibly have changed between himself and London. He scolded himself for getting lost in their pretend relationship. He should've known that London would never fall for him.

He had liked London ever since he could remember. Ever since he'd first heard her say "yay me" he'd thought she was beautiful, but until two weeks ago she had always been the forbidden fruit. The thing he didn't even bother thinking about because he knew she was impossible to have. But two weeks ago when London and him had started gym class and the two had naturally began to flirt, he'd thought that maybe finally she was seeing him as the man he was becoming.

He was tired of her seeing him as just "the little boy" or her "geeky friend Cody" who helped her with her homework. He didn't mind being referred to as a geek, which he actually wasn't any longer, he just wanted to be more to her.

He looked away from her and noticed Kelsey Taylor, a beautiful fiery red-head, making her way over to him.

"Hey Cody." She spoke, sitting down next to him. "That was really amazing how you handled Michael back there. You must be really strong." She said. Cody could tell she was flirting with him but didn't feel much in the mood to talk to anyone much less flirt.

Cody looked up at London once more before sighing.

'Oh well. It's not like London is an option.' He thought depressed as he turned his attention back to Kelsey and began to talk to her.

#

"What do you want?" London asked as she eyed Michael wearily.

"I just want to talk to you." Michael told her.

"Well make it quick because I have somewhere else I could be." London said impatiently.

"Oh. Well if you mean talking to your "little boyfriend", he seems a little occupied right now." Michael replied, pointing in Cody's direction.

London turned around and looked in the direction Michael was pointing in as her eyes landed on Cody who was talking to Kelsey who was basically the hugest flirt in the entire school.

London watched the two as an unsettling feeling came to her stomach. She didn't like what she was seeing. She didn't like it at all. Her heart clenched at the sight and her jaw set. No. She did not like this.
