Noah's P.O.V
If I could leave this dreaded place, I fucking would. This entire thing is just completely pointless. How I let my siblings convince me to join this stupid show, is beyond me. The only reason I'm still here, is because Chris won't let me leave the damned place. The very thought of packing my things and hauling my ass out of here, was so appealing to me.
I walked out of the bathroom that I had in the suite I stayed in, and went to sit on my bed. I looked at the red silk sheets and ran my hand along it feeling the softness under my touch. A bored sigh escaped my lips as I looked around the room. It was fairly simple to me; black thick curtains that covered my windows, I burgundy book shelf that contained at least 50 of my most favorite books on the left side of the window, a small white bed side dresser that sat on the right side of the windows and directly next to my bed; which contained of red silk sheets and white feathered pillows.
My eyes wandered to the other side of my room, where I had my tall dresser leaning against the wall, only a few feet away from where the door was. On top of it, I had my television and a vase of in scents, along with a few pictures of my family right above my dresser. Next to my dresser, I had a desk that had one of my favorite book by Shakespear; Romeo and Juliet, and my black laptop on it, open to the main screen which had a picture of both Cody and I on it.
My eyes stopped and stared at the picture on the laptop. It was a picture of Cody and I. Cody as usual had that wide toothy grin plastered on his face. His arm was securely wrapped around my shoulders as I held a book in my hands. My eyes had looked up just in time when Cody took the picture on my camera. He told that if we're going to be friends that we have to make memories.
When I first came here I wasn't at all attracted to Cody, let alone anyone else at this overrated T.V. show. Cody came off as the guy who had flirted with every girl until they noticed him. They noticed him alright. Most of the girls shrugged him and wanted nothing to do with flirtations, but still wanted to be friends with him. After being turned down by every girl that was there, he tried so hard to try with the goth girl Gwen.
I admit that then, he had determination to get the girl. But he ended up helping his other friend Trent into getting him with her instead of himself. He then gave up after that. But the way he held his determination was very impressive. He was shot down every pick-up line, flirt or question for a small date. I'm sure he was crushed a bit. The day he got Trent and Gwen together, he had called me to tell me what he had done.
The two of us stayed on the phone for hours talking about how the entire thing went down. Of course I messed with him, telling him how his efforts had been shot down coldly by the girl he thought was the one. He whined over and over to tell me that I should stop. Though I didn't. I did it a few more times before he laughed and told me that if didn't stop, he'll purposely get kicked off just so he could beat me up. But we both knew that it was a joke.
A sigh escaped my lips as I let my body fall back onto the bed. I stared up at the blank white ceiling and thought about the true reason why I was still here on this dumb resort. And that was Cody. The way he smiles, laughs and talks captivates me more ways in one. He was just so amazing to me. His cerulean eyes found it's way to freeze me entirely. It was always so strange how just by looking at me, my body would tense and my heart would pound faster and harder in my chest.
The way his small frame is toned, it still shaped to resemble a young girls body would. His blonde hair fell slightly over those deep oceanic eyes of his and just slightly past his ears. Whenever I got the chance to touch that head of his, his hair is always amazingly soft and silky. The thing that got me the most was his voice. The way it sent shivers up my spine whenever he said or called my name. It was in a way erotic; whether he be yelling or whispering it.
Though at times I question his intelligence, then I come to see that I find it so damn cute. With other people having a lower GPA than me, would piss me off with every sentence they spoke, but with Cody it was just adorable. He was just so damned cute. I wanted to pull him in my arms and kiss him for the longest time. But for now I would have to keep my feelings about the other male to myself, until I gather the confidence, that I doubt I have to tell him how I feel.
With a groan I closed my eyes and felt myself slipping into a light sleep, when I heard a loud knock on my door. My eyes snap open and a groan slipped through my parted lips. I sit up slowly not caring how long I made the other person wait, and walked over to my tall dresser and opened a drawer, grabbing a pair of my boxers and a t-shirt slipping both onto me.
I sighed and walked over to the door opening it up to see that Izzy stood there with a smile on her face and leaned against the door frame. She looked at me up and down and shrugged. When I had enough of her staring at me I narrowed my eyes on her and let my question out.
"What in the world could you possibly want?"
"Oh!" Her eyebrows raised and her eyes lit up. She jumped slightly which caused me to step back a step or two. She saw this, and smiled at me. "Trent, Gwen, Bridget, Geoff, Heather, Le'Shawna, Eva, Lindsey, Tyler, Justin, DJ, Owen, Katie, Sadie and I, are all going to a photo shoot!" she said in just one breath.
I stared at her with raised eyebrows giving her a look that showed I completely didn't care. "And?" I asked, knowing that there was more.
"And, you, Ezekiel, Harold, and Cody will be staying here, since there isn't enough room in the limo to fit the last four of you. So you'll be taking your photo's tomorrow." she said using hand gestures, which weren't necessary.
I nodded not understanding why Chris couldn't call a cab to take the four of there to photo shoot, but decided that it would be better for him to not ask that question. I just looked up at her and nodded.
"Alright, Izzy." I say with a sigh
She nodded and waved as she ran off. "Later!" she called back before turning the corner.
Once she was out of my sight, I closed the door and sighed to myself. I walked over to the window and opened the curtains just slightly to peek out of it. Out of everyone, I had the best view of the entire pool area. I could see everything and everyone down and around the pool area. I noticed that only the people who were left here, were the ones that hadn't left to the photo shoot. And one of those people were Cody. I saw the adorable blonde relaxing in one of the lounge that were provided.
With a small smile on my face, I quickly changed into my favorite red swim shorts with a yellow star on the right pants leg and a white short sleeve t-shirt. I walked over to my computer desk and grabbed my book.
I made my way down to the pool area feeling happy that Cody wasn't one of the people who didn't have to go to that dumb photo shoot. When the elevator doors opened, I stepped out and made my way down to the pool where Cody laid in the lounging chair. Once I spotted him I began to make my way over to him.
I walked over to the lounging chair beside him and looked around, the gentle music of Harold playing his piano while he sat in a chair on the other side of the pool, and Ezekiel who had fallen asleep in the hammock that hung between two palm trees. I shook my head and looked at Cody before sitting down. He must have had his eyes closed, because the boy hadn't know my presence. With a shrug, I sat down next to Cody and opened my book up to the first page and began to read. Without finishing the first line of the romance/tragedy, I hear a small laugh come from the other male beside me.
Setting down my book I looked at Cody, seeing that gorgeous smile of his. But I looked at him questioningly and asked him what had been so funny. Next thing I knew, Cody had shot up in his seat taking off his shades to look at me. His cerulean eyes scanned my body from head to toe as if I were Justin, just getting out of the pool dripping with water. His gaze came to my face, and he quickly came back to Earth when I asked him to answer my question and quit staring.
"Oh! Sorry about that, I was spacing off…" He said nervously as blush crept up onto his cheeks.
"Hmm, when are you not spacing off?" I questioned with sarcasm dripping from my voice.
I lean back and began to read Romeo and Juliet. I quickly became engrossed in the book, but noticed Cody leaning forward towards me. My breath hitched slightly seeing how close his face was to my crotch. A small blush crept up to my cheeks and I closed my eyes letting out a deep silent breath. I opened my eyes and felt my blush fade away. I realized what Cody was really doing and that was trying to read the front of my book. With a sigh of relief, which went unnoticed by the boy, I told him that I was reading Romeo and Juliet.
Watching as he shot up, his face covered in a deep red with embarrassment and began apologizing about what just happened waving his arms around like a mad man. He quietly told me how he was just trying to see what I was reading. I just looked at him and sighed, irritated by the fact that just by his face being there, nearly gave me a hard on.
"You know you could have just asked me what I was reading…?" I asked him questioningly knowing I couldn't stay mad at the boy for so long.
He looked down embarrassed and nodded his head. "Y-yeah…" he said quietly.
I went back to reading my book, well trying to read it anyway. My mind was clouded with what had just happened a few seconds ago. Was it all my imagination? Did Cody really have his face that close to my crotch?! I could feel my breath began to grow slightly quicker as I thought about it. If I hadn't figured out what he was really doing and calmed myself, I would have gotten hard so damn quick, I would have to jump into the pool naked. Feeling the cool water, would probably shock me to my senses.
I heard Cody let out loud deep sigh and I turned to him. I guess he's upset about what just happened. I set my book in my lap and told him that everything was okay and it was all an accident. Looking adorable as ever and questioned hesitantly with water filled eyes, if we could still be friends. Me being, well me, decided to mess with him a bit. Sure it was wrong, but I just had to. So, I said no. that's when his eyes grew large and he began to spurt out that I told him that it was just an accident. He looked so cute when he was flustered.
"I was kidding Cody! Calm down." I say with a smirk on my face.
He crossed his arms and glared at me. "That wasn't cool Noah!" he exclaimed pouting.
"You are just too gullible Cody." I say shaking my head chuckling.
I watched as Cody crossed his arms over his chest and glare at me. Though seconds later his glare softened and he let his arms fall to the side of him and he rolled his eyes. I picked up my book once again and start to read again. It only took a few minutes for Cody to need something from me again, because I feel him tap on my shoulder. I try to ignore it and continued to read. The next thing I know, I'm shook and I sigh in annoyance and turn to Cody and asked him what it was.
I listened as he asked me where everyone was and I told him that they were all at a photo getting their photo's taken, and that ours would be taken tomorrow. After a minute or so, I looked back at Cody feeling as though he was going to say something else, but then it hit me hard. He looked hurt for some reason. I looked at him my face full of concern, wondering what was on his mind. Did I say something wrong?
Cody's voice broke me out of my thoughts, his soft voice speaking.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked softly.
"You look upset...what are you thinking?" I asked.
"Oh...um, why would they be having a photo shoot without us. Isn't it a group thing they're doing or something?"
That's when all my concern flew away and off of my face. I sighed mentally and lightly shook my head. I looked at him with a small grin. He was too amusing for me.
"It's not a group photo shoot dummy. It's a single shot photo shoot." I saw that he didn't say anything and sighed continuing. "Meaning, that they're taking the individuals that are here at this lame resort, and taking photo's of them, by themselves."
His eyebrows raised in understanding and he nodded smiling. "I get it now! Thanks Noah."
"Don't mention it."I mumbled, raising my book back up to my face and began reading it again.
I noticed Cody stand up and go into the pool. While he swam over to the bar, I watched as his lean body came up out of the pool, water dripping down that peach toned body of his. His back flexed slightly as he walked over behind the bar and bent down behind the counter. I groaned softly to myself slightly upset that he had disappeared behind the counter. A moment later, Cody popped back up holding a soda in his hand and I noticed that he was looking my direction. I quickly made it look like I was reading.
After a few lines of reading, my gaze returned back to the young boy who now had two sodas. I smiled shaking my head slightly. It was either he was really thirsty, or he grabbed one for me. I smiled behind my book finding it so sweet that he had done that. I watched as Cody dipped himself back into the water and floated on his back, gliding his body smoothly back to other of the pool. I smiled and began to read again.
Minutes passed and I jumped in my seat hearing Cody exclaim. This made me drop my book and stand up. From what I could see, Cody's blood began to delude pool water. My eyes widen and I start to yell Cody's name over and over again. He just hit his head on the edge of the fucking pool! I began to freak as I drew closer, seeing that Cody's eyes fell closed and his body began to fall beneath the water. I feel myself begin to panic, and I immediately jump into the water and opened my eyes under the water and saw Cody's unconscious body sitting at the bottom of the pool. I swam down near him and grabbed his arm and began to swim to the surface.
I gasp for air and hold onto Cody as I made my way to the shallow end where it would be easier to get us both out of the water. Harold must have called the infirmary to come down to the pool, because two men with a stretcher came rushing over to both Cody and I and quickly pulled Cody onto the stretcher. My mind still racing I look at Cody and watch as the blood began to soak the small pillow his head lay on.
Oh God, Cody...please still be alive.
