Chapter 6: Dancing With Wolves
A/N: Hehe, interesting title, right? Well, it's significant to the chapter, so don't forget about it. This one shall be the start of Cody's...problem. There's also some language in this, and it's a little worse than what I've been using. Just a little warning for the young people. Well, actually, people who are too young probably shouldn't be reading this, because it'll be much more "mature" shall we say, in the upcoming chapters. No graphic sex, just some violence and grusome things.
Disclaimer: I only own Marisol and Francis.
Chapter Summary: While having dinner with her family, London gets asked to dance...but by who? And who exactly has Zack taken a liking to?

London's POV
I'm so glad I came back to Boston.
This was the only thing I was thinking as I sat at the mahogany Purple Lobster dinner table with those I was closest to. We were laughing and joking around. Maddie and I were telling them what we'd been up to over the past year, and they were doing the same. Life was good in these moments. Zack elaborated on, in Maddie's opinion, the entertaining end of his relationship with Lauren. She giggled through most of it. She is seriously in flirt mode, right now. I was seated next to Cody, as he'd insisted that it be that way. I'm flattered that he wants to spend so much time with me before I leave.
"Hey. These old geezers are actually playing a good song!" Zack said, a bit too loudly.
"Zack!" Carey exclaimed. I giggled to myself. I missed watching Carey yell at Zack and Cody. The main thing about it that I had missed was when I was standing there, and instead of listening to Carey's lecture, they'd laugh and make funny faces at me.
It was then, out of the corner of my eye that I spotted a pair of the most gorgeous blue eyes I'd ever seen. They belonged to a guy with dashing good looks and jet black hair. He was staring right at me. When I gazed over at him, he smiled. I smiled back, in a flirty way. I rarely say this about guys anymore, but he was WAY hot. Just then, he got up from his table and began making his way over to ours. I suddenly got really nervous. I noticed he had a younger female in tow. When he approached me, all I could do was stare, transfixedly, into his eyes. I felt Cody shift in the seat next to me, but I couldn't tear my eyes away.
"Hello, may I ask your name?" This beautiful stranger asked me, in the most adorable British accent.
"L--London," I stammered in a broken voice. Great. I'd made a fool out of myself in front of some gorgeous guy who seemed interested in me.
"Lovely name. It's a pleasure to meet you, London. I'm Francis Wolfe, and this is my sister Marisol," He said, kissing the back of my hand softly, then motioning to the girl next to him.
The girl had shoulder length chestnut brown hair, which was pulled back in a half-pony tail, with a set of ocean blue eyes like her brother. She was very pretty, and seemed very polite.
"Nice to meet you," she said, shaking my hand.
"I came over to ask if you'd like to dance, London," Francis added. I gulped and looked toward the dance floor in the center of the restaurant. I said nothing, and took his hand, allowing him to lead me there.
Maddie's POV
Hehe, go London...
She hadn't been here half-an-hour and she'd already snagged a complete hottie. Francis' sister, Marisol, kind of stood next to our table awkwardly. I tore my eyes away from her for a second and glanced to my right. Cody looked extremely hurt that London had went to dance with Francis, and he almost looked like he was thinking evil thoughts. Like he was plotting Francis' death. I felt Zack get up from beside me, and I instantly turned my attention back to him.
Zack's POV
That Marisol girl is kind of cute...
Well, I see a perfect oppurtunity to raise the stakes in my little game with Maddie. She's gonna be so jealous, hehe. I got up from the table slowly enough to get Maddie's attention, and I reached my hand out for Marisol's.
"Hi, I'm Zack," I said.
"Nice to meet you," she giggled back at me.
"Would you care for a dance?" I said in a confident voice. She nodded excitedly and off we were to join Francis and London on the dance floor.
Maddie's POV
I can't believe he just did that right in front of me!
He's doing it just to make me jealous. And he's doing a good job of it. This game just got a hell of a lot more serious to me. He might think that what he's doing is cute, but I'm not fucking amused. If he wants to play it like that...I can do it better.
Cody's POV
Why do I have the urge to rip out this guy's intestines and shove them down his throat?
All of a sudden, I'm feeling very protective of London. I love that girl, and if I can help it, dancing is as close as Mr. Wolfe is getting to her. Even that is making my blood boil. I notice Maddie is looking everywhere but the dance floor with her arms crossed firmly. She certainly looks pissed off. Probably because Zack ran off with that girl a few minutes ago. But, no offense to Maddie, the only person I'm worried about right now is London. For some reason, I just keep picturing Francis driving along in his car happily, and suddenly driving off a cliff, screaming for someone to help him. This thought makes me smile, and my head plays it over and over. I also like where a huge black wall with red eyes painted on it is devouring him like a monster. Why do I feel violent and angry? Why do I just wanna fucking rip someone's head off? That guy better not say a damn word to me, or he'll get what's coming to him.
A/N: I know, too short, but at least it didn't take me a year to update this time! xD -happy dance- I hope you guys like a little preview of Cody's downward spiral in to madness. Love ya lots! Ciao!
