Thank you to JLynn-Mizanin, Munchkin.x, and littlemisssunshinexx for reviewing! :)
I own the characters Ashley (because she is based of me), Carly, and Emma.
The song had changed to 'Faithfully' by Journey.
"May I have this dance?" Cody asked smiling, extending his hand towards Ashley.
"Yes you may. " Ashley said smiling back and grabbed his hand. He spun her around and then put his arms around her waist as she put her arms around his neck. She lied her head onto Cody's chest . She couldn't explain why, but she felt so right being in his embrace. She felt safe. Ashley realized she had never really felt that with any of her exes. She smiled enjoying this moment with Cody and hoped that it didn't have to end. Cody was thinking the same thing, he also didn't want this moment to end. Ashley felt so right in his arms but he couldn't come up with a reason why right away.
Nattie looked at the dance floor and saw Ashley dancing with Cody.
"TJ, look at Ashley and Cody." Nattie said smiling. TJ looked onto the dance floor.
"Wow, she looks happier than I've ever seen her with any guy." TJ said looking at Nattie then back at the dance floor. "He looks happy too."
"They are so adorable together." Nattie said. Nattie looked for the photographer because she wanted to capture this moment in a picture. She told them that they should take a picture of Cody and Ashley and then take pictures of the other dancers too, so it doesn't look like he's taking a picture of just them. The photographer nodded and walked towards the dance floor. Nattie saw where Carly was sitting with Randy and Ted. They were all looking at the dance floor. She walked towards them. "Hey. OK, is it just me or do they not look adorable together?"
"We agree with you, Nattie." Carly said. "I have never seen her this happy with a guy."
"TJ just said the same thing." Nattie said. "I made the photographer take a picture of them."
"That's going to be such a cute picture." Carly said. "You remember the words I said that I probably never hear come out of Randy's mouth?"
"Yeah, why?" Nattie asked.
"He said them." Carly said.
"No way! Who was it?" Nattie asked intrigued.
"Cody." Carly said.
"Oh my god. That has to be a sign!" Nattie said.
"I know I said the same thing." Carly said.
Cody looked towards the table and saw Randy, Carly, Ted, and Nattie all looking towards them.
"I think we're being watched." Cody whispered in Ashley's ear. Ashley lifted her head and looked at Cody.
"Who's watching us?" Ashley asked.
"Your brother, best friends, and Ted." Cody said looking down at her. She looked towards them.
"Damn it." Ashley said into Cody's chest.
"Is that a bad thing that they're watching us?" Cody asked.
"No. I'm just not going to hear they end of it with Carly and Nattie." Ashley said. "But whatever, I can handle them."
"Well, you won't be the only one hearing the end of it. I'll have Ted and Randy bugging me about it."Cody said. Ashley chuckled.
"Very true. I don't feel so bad about it anymore." Ashley said and smiled. Cody smiled back at her. Ashley lied her head back onto Cody's chest. She heard a soft noise coming from Cody. She could tell that he was humming to the song. She looked at him. Cody noticed she was looking at him.
"What?" Cody asked.
"Are you humming?" Ashley asked.
"Um... yeah." Cody said softly. "I can stop if you don't like it."
"No, you don't have to stop. I like it." Ashley said. The song ended and Cody extended his arm for Ashley to link arms with.
"They're coming back! Turn away!" Ted said.
"Why?" Carly asked.
"So they don't think we've been looking at them the whole time. Duh." Ted said.
"How the hell are we related?" Carly asked.
"Hey." Nattie said as soon as Ashley and Cody were at the table.
"Hey." Ashley said.
"Look, Cody doesn't look like he's going to go insane." Carly said. She looked at Ashley. "Our plan worked!"
"Yeah it did." Ashley said as they high-fived.
"Hey Ash. I need to ask you something." Nattie said.
"Alright. What about?" Ashley said.
"Not going to say here." Nattie said.
"Why not?" Randy asked.
"It's girl talk, Randal." Carly said putting her hand on his shoulder.
"Oh... Well, never mind then." Randy said remembering the last time he stayed for girl talk with them. That was a very bad decision he made that night.
"Let's go outside and talk." Carly said getting up and grabbing Randy's suit coat off the back of his chair before he could object. She kissed his cheek. Ashley walked back to the front table to grab her and Nattie's coats and put her shoes on. She walked back to the table.
"Ready."Ashley said. Cody sat back down and watched as Ashley, Carly, and Nattie walked outside. Randy and Ted looked at Cody. Cody turned his head back towards the table to only notice that Randy and Ted were staring at him.
"What?" Cody asked.
"You've fallen for her." Ted said.
"No I haven't." Cody said.
"Uh, yeah you have. You've fallen for my sister." Randy said.
"I shall say this again. No I haven't." Cody lied. He was afraid that Randy was going to kill him for liking his little sister.
"Dude, you cannot lie to me!" Ted said. "I've known you FAR too long to know when you're lying."
"Everyone could tell that you and Ash had a connection when you were dancing. My mom even noticed it, Runnels! You cannot say after that dance you just had with her, that you didn't realize that you were developing feelings for her." Randy said. "If you're afraid that I will kill you if you say that you like her, don't worry, I won't. You're probably the only guy I'll ever be OK with her dating. My parents already love you so you've already overcome that obstacle."
"Randy, you're making it sound like they're already dating." Ted said.
"I was just stating the facts, Theodore." Randy said.
"Oh, you did NOT just call me that." Ted said.
"Oh shut up." Cody said.
"Are you going to tell us the truth or are going to have to beat it out of you?" Ted said.
"If it shuts you up, I'll tell you." Cody said.
OOH! WHAT WILL CODY SAY?
Will he say yes?
Will he say no?
Well, you're going to have to read the next chapter to find out! :)
PLEASE REVIEW! WOULD MEAN THE WORLD TO ME!
