Chapter 8

"Will you go out with me Saturday night?" Asked Squib.

"Um, no I can't sorry." Cody answered softly.

"Why is something going on?"

"No. It's just that, I'm not aloud to date. Sorry." After saying that she left the car and made one last wave before entering the house.

Squib, never in his life got rejected by a girl. This was the first time, ever. Everything was different with Cody. He really, truly loved this girl. He wanted to have a chance. The next day he decided to go see Mr. Myers in his office.

Knock. Knock. Knock. Was the sound on Mr. Myers door when Squib knocked it. Ha-ha. Mr. Myers made the hand signal to tell him to go in. Then he pointed at the chair in front of his desk.

"Mr. Myers, I'm wondering if I could ask your daughter out on a date Saturday night."

"That's not possible. Now would you make your way out the way you entered."

"I want you to rethink your choice."

"I already did, sorry Mr. Furlong. Now please exit."

Squib stood there for a few minutes. "You know I'm just asking the same thing every professional guidance person would say. That would be, give kids a chance because they are the next future."

Mr. Myers just looked at him head to toe. Finally he decided to say yes. Once Squib exited the office, he quickly gave a call to Cody to tell him the good news.

Saturday came faster than the both of them expected. It was around 6:00 and Squib arrived at Cody's house. He rang the door bell and went back to his car. Once he saw Cody, a quick smile formed on his face.

"So where are we going?" Cody asked.

"You'll see!" Squib said. He wanted to surprise her. The plan was: Dinner, and then something really special.

Once they arrived at the restaurant, they ordered there food.

"This is really pretty, are you sure your ok with this?" asked Cody. She was worried. She actually never had been to a restaurant that pretty. It was outside, facing the ocean. The sun was setting and there was a music band and a dancing area.

"Yeah, this is cool, don't worry about it."

"Alright"

As they ate there appetizer, main course, and just finished dessert, Cody asked a question. "Do you want to dance?"

"Um, sorry no, I don't do dancing."

"Everyone knows how to dance. They might not be the best at it, but yeah. C'mon." Squib just loved the way Cody said her words. They both stood up, hand in hand, they walked towards the dance floor. Cody laid her arms around Squib's neck and Squib laid his hands around her waist. Cody laid her head on his shoulder.

"So what's your number one?" asked Squib. Cody just shook her head slightly. "Well, my number one is getting out of Beauport."

"I don't think getting out of Beauport is hard, it's wondering what your gonna do once your out of Beauport." Explained Cody. She was right. Squib just stayed silent, thinking about what she said. They danced for a few more minutes, went to there table and paid.

They walked hand in hand towards the car. Squib blindfolded Cody so she wouldn't see where they were going next.

"Squib this is so crazy."

"Yeah well, let's hope it's worth it."

After 45 minutes of driving, they arrived in an unusual place with a big sign. Squib loosened the blindfold and walked slowly towards the sign.

"Alright put one foot there." Squib pointed at the area. Cody shook her head and did what she was told. "Now put the other foot there." Again, she did what she was told.

"Your acting like a crazy person, what are you doing?"

"Remember when you said your to-do list in life was to be in 2 places at once?" Squib asked. Cody shook her head replying a Yes. "Well your strangled in a state line. Your in 2 places at once." Squib smiled at her and looked through her blue eyes. Cody put on a smile no one has every seen before.

Cody was so happy. She started laughing and ran to Squib and jumped into his arms. The cars headlights were pointing to the sign that said: Welcome to Virginia.

While they were in the car for surprise number 2, Cody said how happy she was so spend the night with him. The car stopped at a beach facing the ocean. It was a pretty view. They got out and walked towards the sand. They both took their shoes off and sat down.

"So remember, you said in your lifetime you wanted a tattoo?" Cody shook her head again. "Well, choose, Heart, Butterfly, or flower." Squib was holding 3 sheets of temporary tattoo papers.

"I'm guessing tonight, it's a night that all my wishes will come true will it? I don't know, you choose." Cody was happy. Really happy.

"Alright, Butterfly." Squib said holding up the sheet. He gently ripped off the butterfly, "Were do you want it?" he asked.

"Um how about," Cody moved her hair, and slightly pulled down her shirt revealing her collar. "Right there."

Squib looked at her. He gently put the tattoo on her, soaked it with water, and gently peeled it. Since there were still a few hours ahead of them, he blew it. Cody felt tingles going up her spine.

They walked the beach for a few more minutes, then arrived on a deck.

"I'm having a really good time tonight. Thanks a lot Squib."

"No problem."

Cody let go of his hand for a moment and walked in front of him a little bit. "You know, I have this feeling. Love is like the wind, you can't see it, but you feel it." After she said that, they arrived at the end of the deck. Cody turned around and then they were facing each other.

Squib couldn't help himself; he thought this was the perfect time.

" Cody, I Love You."
