Chapter 5

"How do I look?" Cody said to his mother and Zack and he checked himself out in the mirror and did a turn.

"Wow, honey!" Carey exclaimed. "You look fantastic!"

"Yeah," even Zack agreed. "You do look pretty good."

"This night is going to be the best!" Cody cried happily as he ran into his room to make any last minute imperfections perfect once again. He came out a few moments later. "Let's go, quick before something gets messed up!" he said, opening the door and flying down the hallway.

"Cody wait!" Carey yelled. "It's only six-thirty!" Still no Cody. "Oh great, he's lost his mind," Carey mumbled as she walked out closing the door behind her.

"And now I've got the whole apartment to myself," Zack said aloud and grinned evilly.

"Think again," Maddie said, opening the door, scaring Zack half to death.

"Be sure to call me as soon as the party is over," Carey said to Cody as he hobbled carefully out of the car. "And be a gentleman!" she cried as he walked off with glee.

This is going to be the best night ever, he thought to himself as he made his way up the long staircase leading to Serena's humongous mansion. By the end of the night, I'm gonna make sureI kiss Serena. He knocked on the door once, before it was quickly opened bya humble maid who led him into the guest hall. The room was filled with tons of people, many of them men in suites and ties with their wives and children. However, Cody couldn't find Serena anywhere.

"Ah, you must be Cody!" a man said with the same voice as the one on the phone the previous night. "I'm Serena's father," he introduced himself. "You can call me Arnold." He smiled warmly.

"Nice to meet you," Cody said practically beaming. This was good. Serena's father liked him. Guys- never get on the bad side of a girl's father. "Do you know where Serena is?" he asked politely.

"I believe she's somewhere around here with Blake. Probably upstairs in the game room. I'll have Mario show you where it is," he smiled. Mario, a co-worker's son, seemed pretty nice. He smiled at Cody as Arnold introduced them. They were both silent until they reached the elevator. As soon as the doors shut, Cody spoke.

"They even have an elevator? Wow.." He was pretty much still in shock of how beautiful the entire home was.

"Yeah, they're pretty rich," Mario agreed. "Her father owns an enormous stock company. My dad works for him."

"So who's Blake?" Cody asked randomly. The question was eating at him ever since Arnold said his name.

"Another extremely rich dude's son," Mario said. "God, I can't wait to get out of this stupid suit." He loosened his tie and shuffledit around his neck. "It's so itchy." He had slightly long black hair with a side-sweep toward the left of his face, partially covering his left eye. His skin was tanned, and Cody figured he was Italian, especially with a name like Mario.

"Does Serena hang out with him a lot?" Cody questioned.

"Usually at her dad's parties, yeah. Their families are really close so they're always over her and stuff."

Great, Cody thought. Now that Blake dude is gonna win her over. He felt like someone just punched him in the gut.

"You okay?" Mario asked. "You look sick."

"No, I'm fine," Cody said, disgust in his voice, still thinking about Serena and Blake. He hated this guy already and he never even met him!

"Right..." Mario said to himself as the elevator stopped and opened up into a huge room filled with games, a television, PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, and basically every other game system you could imagine, each with their own t.v. Huge cabinets werestacked with games. Bean bag chairs piled up all over. Arcade games lined the back wall. The bright colors of the room just added to its wonderous effect.

"Cody!" Serena cried when she saw him. Just hearing her beautiful british voice made Cody feel loads better. She ran up to him and flew her arms around his neck, giving him a squeeze. Cody could smell her expensive Bumble & Bumble shampoo and immediatly felt hypnotized.

Blake walked up to greet Mario and Cody slowly. He looked normal, anyway. Serena pulled away from their hug to introduce them.

"Cody, this is Blake, my father's co-worker's son," she paused and smiled at him. "And Blake, this is Cody, my...Cody." Her cheeks flushed a deep shade of red. Serena wore a short satin dress that was light pink with diamonds (not studs) makingtheir way down the center. Her hair was curled and rested gently on her shoulders. Cody thought she looked even beautitful than usual, which was pretty hard to beat.

"Nice to meet you,"Mario said, smiling and shaking Cody's hand. "I've heard a lot about you from Serena." He looked over at her and gave her a sneaky smile, like he knew a secret that Cody didn't. "Come on, Mario," he said leading Mario back into the elevator. "Let's give them some time alone." Mario gave him a weird look and Blake just returned it with the same sneaky smile. Cody pretended not to notice. Right then and there he changed his mind about Blake - he practically loved the guy for letting him be alone with Serena!

"So," Serena said, looking up at Cody and smiling. "When did you get here?"

"Just a few mintues ago. I met your dad and he told Mario to bring me up here."

"Was he friendly?" she questioned hopefully.

"Your dad? Very." She smiled. Music from downstairs overflowed through their sound system, allowing it to be heard all the way on the fourth floor, where the gameroom was located.

"Ooh! I love this song! Let's go dance!" she said to Cody, dragging him into the elevator. When they reached ground level, she pulled him out and onto the dance floor. The song was "Don't Cha" by the Pussycat Dolls, so it wasn't a slow song. She started moving back and forth to the beat, standing as close to Cody as she could humanly possible. They danced for a few other songs after that, too, until a slow song came up. They both stopped and looked at each other. "Because of You" by Kelly Clarkson began to play, and Cody had no idea what to do. He'd never slow-danced with a girl before, and little did he know that Serena had never slow-danced with a boy. She looked kind of upset about it and Cody couldn't stand to see her upset or disappointed. He placed his hands around her waist and pulled her close to him- so close they could feel each others breath touch their skin. She slowly smiled and closed her arms in a loop around his neck. Cody rocked back and forth to the beat of the song, taking Serena along with him. She was relieved when he decided to lead, since she had no clue as to what she was doing. Gently, she rested her head on his chest, since he was a little bit taller than she was.

Cody felt like he was dancing on a cloud. He'd never felt this way before, but everytime Serena would look at him and give him a reasurring smile, he felt the feeling grow even stronger. He knew right away, that night, that Arwin was right. It was love. The song felt like it lasted for a matter of 10 seconds, and when it was over, Cody wished he could stay there and hold Serena in his arms forever. She slowly pulled away from him, and looked up at him with a nervous look in her eyes. She took Cody's hand and led him back into the elevator. Wherever she was leading him, neither of them spoke the whole way there. Their hands were still intertwined and neither of them had any intentions of letting go. They stopped on floor #3, and Serena continued to lead him down a long hallway and out a huge glass door. They were on a balcony overlooking the river, its current moving very unrapidly and steady.

"It's pretty out here," Cody said softly, too nervous to break the lasting silence.

"Yeah," Serena nodded.

"Just like you," Cody smiled and noticed a gleam flash in Serena's beautiful eyes. This is it. Here it comes... Cody grabbed Serena's other hand, making sure both of them were held securely in his. He turned his body to face her completely and looked down at her. There was so much tension between them and Cody knew he had to break it. He lowered his head to hers and looked her right in the eyes. "Serena...I think I love you." And with that he pressed his lips to hers. The second they touched, their eyes both snapped shut and Cody felt her arms move into their position around his neck. Both their bodies together seemed to lift off the ground and hover slightly above the concrete.

"Cody..." she said once they both pulled away. She didn't look digusted, and Cody knew right away that was a good sign. Her face broke out into a huge smile and she hugged him. "I love you, too."

Cody heard her speak the words muffled into his shoulder, but he could still hear them. His heart rate began to speed up and he didn't think it was possible to stop it.
