Playing Pretend Just Got a Lot Gayer: Chapter 14
Authors Note: Wow, this was a crappy update. :/ Sorry it took so long and was so short. This should have been out a week ago but my computer, once again, crapped itself mid chapter. Anyway the way I'm seeing this is that there will be two more chapters counting the epilgue.
Also special thanks to my beta DarkMindedThinker89!
Now on with the story!
Cody's P.O.V.
The first thing I saw when I woke up was Noah lying in bed reading by book light. I yawned, sitting up and stretching.
"Good morning." I said as I rubbed my eyes.
"Well, I wouldn't exactly call it morning, but the implication still applies." Noah said shutting his book. I raised an eyebrow.
"I mean good morning even though it's not morning. I thought you were smart?"
"I'm math and computer smart, not big words smart."
He scoffs and smirks. "Figures."
"Like you could handle someone being smarter than you."
"Like anyone could be smarter than me."
"I'm just glad you don't have a big ego about your intelligence."
"Yes, that would be a shame." He says as he turns on a lamp.
"Dude! Bright!"
"Don't be such a baby."
"Don't be such an inconsiderate jerk!"
"I wasn't, but speaking of which, I talked to Heather today."
"You talked to Heather?!" I asked giving him a look that hopefully displayed how little sense that made. I mean Heather's evil! Why would anyone talk to her willingly?
"Calm down; she just had a little insight on Justin's plan. And when I say a little, I really mean a little."
"…So what'd you find out?" I'm still not sold on the whole talking to Heather thing, but I should find out what he found out before I make my judgment.
"That what she said to you at the party was part of his plan."
"So he's trying to… break us up?" I guessed.
"She doesn't know, but she's willing to find out more."
"And we're going to trust her?"
"Do I look like an imbecile?"
"You're kinda starting to sound like one."
Noah glares at me. "We have nothing else to go on. We don't have to trust her or do anything for her. We wait for her to give us information and then we decide what to do from there."
I have a bad feeling about this, but I can't really find a problem with what he's saying so I have no choice but to agree. "Fine."
"Good. Now let's go get dinner; I'm starving." Noah says standing up and moving towards his bedside table.
"That's strange; I thought I left my key on the table."
"You probably left it somewhere else. Come on, I've got your spare." I say grabbing his arm and pulling him out the door. What can I say? I'm starving!
Justin's P.O.V.
I'm fingering Noah's room key in my pocket when I see him and Cody walk out of the hotel.
I know this is the time to strike. I don't know how much time I'm going to have, but based on how much food Cody's putting on his plate I'll have plenty.
I quickly make my way to the hotel avoiding Sadie's gaze; a difficult task to pull off with someone as obsessive as she is. Of course, who can blame her? I am gorgeous.
As I ride the elevator up to Noah's floor I can't help but think how brilliant I am. I'm going to crush Noah.
I still haven't figured out why Noah's pretending to be gay, but I know that once I expose him, something bad will happen. And when something bad happens to Noah, it brings a smile to my face; and my smile is stunning.
The elevator stops on the correct floor and I walk to Noah's door and use the key to unlock the it. I shut and lock the door behind me as I begin to rummage through Noah's things.
I'm not sure what I'm looking for, but I know that I'll know it when I find it.
~15 minutes later~
I've looked through his draws and a suitcase and have yet to find anything useful. At this point I'm starting to think he is gay. The only other place I can think of looking in under his mattress.
…Jackpot. This is it. I've found it.
I lay his room key on the floor by the bedside table before locking his door and leaving his room.
Oh I've got you now Noah, I've got you now.
