Alex's POV
It had been a few months since I had started dating Cody and everything was going smoothly. It was spring break and my plane had arrived at the Boston Airport. Since Cody had spent Christmas with me, I decided that I would meet his family. Zack decided to stay on the ship with Bailey.
"So this is Boston." I said as I looked around the airport. The closest the ship had stopped to Boston was North Carolina. Ah North Carolina, a state where nothing ever happens. Good thing I didn't have to spend my spring break there. I looked over as Cody walked off the plane carrying the briefcase that I had bought him. I liked the fact that he was using it. We then went to baggage claim to claim our bags.
"How do you have more bags than I do?" I asked Cody.
"Well Southwest lets bags fly for free." Cody said trying to defend himself. "Anyway we should probably head down to the hotel."
"Shouldn't we find your car first?" I asked. Cody had someone bring the car that he shared with Zack to the airport.
"Right" Cody said as he took out his laptop.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I'm going to use the GPS to locate which lot the car is parked in." He answered while looking at the screen.
"Can you do that?" I asked. I wasn't aware that was possible.
"You can when you modify it." He explained.
So he used his computer to locate the car and we headed toward it.
"Impressive." I said as I looked over the car. It was just the kind of car that I expected that Cody would drive. I couldn't really see Zack driving it though. It had to suck having to share a car between the two of them. I didn't even like having limited use of the family car even though I really didn't drive that much.
As we arrived at the hotel we saw a limo pull up. That had to be London. Maybe we should have ridden with her. It would be a lot less crowded than that airplane. I also thought that I might have been going through magic withdrawal because I had gone a few months without using a spell. It was easier than I thought but I didn't exactly like it. How was I supposed to win the wizard competition if I didn't practice? Even though winning the competition meant that I couldn't marry Cody. Maybe we could do something like Gene Simmons and not get married. I wasn't exactly sure how the rules would work and what sort of loopholes there were. I was a master of getting around the rules.
"Alex, we're here." Cody said snapping me out of my thoughts. I opened the trunk and grabbed my bags before looking at the hotel. It put every hotel on Waverly place to shame. Well I don't know if you could what was on Waverly place a hotel. Anyway I walked inside and there was a red-haired bellboy waiting in the lobby.
"Bob, what are you doing here?" Cody asked.
"Needed a job." The guy known as Bob said. It said that on his nametag. "My man Esteban hooked me up."
I looked over to the desk and saw a fellow Latino in a suit at the desk. A blonde-haired girl walked over to him and kissed him on the lips.
"How long have Maddie and Esteban been dating?" Cody asked, startled.
"I don't know but he proposed to her last night." Bob said as he grabbed our bags and put them on the luggage cart. "You might be back in time for the wedding. So, are you Cody's girlfriend?"
"I'm Alex." I said.
"I should take you to your room." Bob said as he led us to an elevator. "You're still staying in the same suite, aren't you?"
"We don't have any money to pay for our own." Cody said. "So yes."
Bob took us to a room; apparently we didn't even need to check in.
"Here we are, suite 2330." Bob said as he dropped our bags. "Do you still have your key?"
"Yup" Cody said as he took out his wallet and removed a keycard. He opened the door and I walked into the room. "I wonder if my mom is in."
"Yes she is." I heard a woman say. She must have been his mom.
"Hello Mrs. Martin." I said politely.
"Call me Carey." The woman said.
I looked around the room, it was definitely bigger than my room on the boat. I don't know why it wouldn't be since it was a suite where the student cabins were more like regular hotel rooms.
"If you think this is big, wait till you see London's penthouse." Cody said. "I kid you not, she literally has a congressmen for it."
That sounded like something London would do. I wondered if she had any control of what the congressman did. "So where can we go for a date in this city?" I asked.
"Well I went and purchased some tickets for a Yankees and Red Sox game. I know you're more of a Mets fan but they don't play at all this year." Cody said.
"How do you know that?" I asked.
"I checked the schedule." Cody said.
"Okay I'll go. I would love to see the Yankees lose." I said. As a Mets fan, I hated the Yankees. I think the same could be said about pretty much everything other Mets fans.
"That makes two of us." Cody said.
"So maybe we should leave early so I can get a jersey." I said.
"The game's not until tomorrow." Cody said. "I think we can wait a little while."
"Well then maybe we should go somewhere tonight. Since you paid for the tickets, I'll pay for us to go to the restaurant." I said. "So what are some good places to eat around here?"
"I know of a good sushi place." Cody said.
"I was thinking of something that's less expensive. Maybe an Applebee's or something." I responded. "I know you're into fancy dining but something cheap would be good too."
"Well how about Boston Market?" Cody suggested.
"There's a restaurant called Boston Market?" I asked.
"Yeah there's a bunch of them all of the country." He replied. "They even sell some tv dinners in supermarkets. I think there is even one in New York City. But yes there is one here in Boston."
"What kind of food do they have?" I asked.
"They have a lot of chicken and a bunch of other stuff." Cody said.
"You could go to TGI Friday's." I heard Carey say.
"Mom, have you been eavesdropping on our conversation?" Cody asked.
"Well if you wanted to have a private conversation you should go to your room or at least not in the doorway." Carey said as she ushered out of the doorway. "Anyone I need to get ready for my show and then I'm meeting Arwin."
"TGI Friday's sounds good to me." I said once she had left. "Why don't you make a reservation while I go get changed."
Cody left to go find a phonebook while I grabbed my suitcase and went to the bathroom. "At Friday's we won't be missed. Let us be first on the list." I said.
"I just called and they said I was the first one to call." Cody said through the door. "That's kind of odd considering it's a Sunday night."
"Well maybe everyone was going to church or something" I lied as I pulled on a dress.
"Yeah that's probably true." Cody said. "I'm gonna go dressed now."
As soon as he left I stepped out of the bathroom. I think it was about time that I told him my secret. After all Harper was able to keep so Cody should have been able to do as well. He would probably be surprised being such a scientific person. It was something I had told any of my boyfriends before, not even Dean. Actually the only mortals who knew my secret were Mom, Harper, and Ms. Majorheely or Jenny as she goes by now. But I felt like I could trust Cody.
So we went to TGI Friday's for dinner and then returned home. Carey had cleared off the couch for me because she didn't want me and Cody sleeping in the same bed or room for that matter. It was like she thought we were planning on having sex. Okay we were planning on having sex and we did it while she was at her show/date. I didn't have to worry about getting pregnant because the wizard council cast a spell preventing any current wizard from breeding with a mortal. Dad had already given up his powers after Justin was born.
We went to the game and it was amazing. The Red Sox pitcher threw a Perfect Game. No one had ever done that against the Yankees before. I didn't even do anything to cause this. I wasn't going to use my magic to help out total strangers. I didn't meet the guy until after the game. He had to be the first rookie to throw a perfect game.
Once we were in the car all alone, I turned to Cody.
"Cody, I have a secret to tell you. You can't tell anyone this. Not even Zack." I said.
"I'll tell you the same thing from the day I met you, as long as it's not a felony, I won't tell." He said.
"It's not against any laws but if you would told, it would be. Well not any Mortal laws but we would both be in a lot of trouble." I explained.
"I don't understand. What do you mean mortal laws?" He questioned.
"I'm a wizard." I said.
Okay so I have two more chapters of this story planned. After I'm done with this one, I have another story planned but it's not the Boston, We Have a Problem Sequel or A sequel to this story. Keep reading and reviewing.
