"I've got to say I like that outfit a lot better than yesterday's"
Cody's voice spooked me, making me jump. I had forgotten he was here. From the couch he continued to smile at me as I self-consciously realized what I was wearing. It had gotten a little hot last night so I ditched the sweats and t-shirt for boxer shorts and a tank top. Since it was usually only me, my mum, and Lexi here I never had to think twice about the clothes I wore. Maybe Niall had been right to freak out after all…
"Morning" he added when I still hadn't said anything
"Morning" I replied and rushed to kitchen. Once there I tried to steady breathing while I was still alone. Cody hadn't given me the same courtesy as last night. Today he was shirtless and I was pretty sure that he had borrowed a pair of my sweatpants. Why does he have to be so attractive?
"So," he said turning the corner into the kitchen, making me jump again. "What's for breakfast?"
"Umm I don't know. What do you want? We have cereal or I could make you something…" I spoke trying not to stare. Just from one look it was evident that Cody worked out, a lot.
"Would you?" he said sounding excited. "I haven't had your cooking in forever!"
"Sure. You wait in the living room while I get started" I said hoping he'd get the hint. If he had he ignored it.
"No I wanna help!" he whined.
"Fine" I sighed and walked over to the fridge. He happily joined me.
For breakfast we decided to make something basic. I put Cody in charge of cooking bacon and sausage links while I made the pancakes and eggs. He wasn't much of a cook but he didn't burn anything. I had a feeling that all guys had special skills when it came to cooking meat. I, on the other hand, almost burned myself a few times. It's not easy cooking next to a really attractive boy you're basically in love with who just happens to be shirtless and standing very close to you…
Once we were done with that I put Cody in charge of setting the table while I served our plates and drinks. At the table we ate and laughed and had a pretty good time. I was used to eating breakfast by myself and I had to admit this was nice. When we were all done with our food Cody even offered to take care of the dishes. He was such a sweetheart
"I'm going to get changed"
"'Kay!" Cody called as I walked up stairs. I walked through the door and locked it once I was inside my room. It's not like I thought he'd peek at me but just to be sure. I groaned slightly when I saw that he had already turned my room into a pigsty. The drawers I had emptied for him were both opened with clothes spilling out over the top. The floor was covered in clothes too, and shoes.
"Boys…" I shook my head and walked towards the closet. I picked out some acid washed jeans and a band tank top since it was still pretty hot. After I put on the clothes I went to my bathroom to wash my face and put on just a little bit of makeup. Looking in the mirror I started to see that for the past few days, except for when Lexi picked out my clothes, all I seemed to wear were band tees. "Huh…"
On my way to the door I tripped on one of Cody's sneakers. Again, I groaned at the mess and I couldn't help myself. I started cleaning up. The clothes were folded and the sneakers were neatly set aside, against the wall where they couldn't hurt anyone. I made the bed too. Once I was satisfied with the room I nodded to myself and walked out. In the hall I found Cody leaning against a wall outside my door.
"Well no wonder you took so long" he commented looking inside the room. I could tell he was suppressing a smile and he wasn't doing a very good job at it
"What happened in there?" I exclaimed and he laughed, not being able to control himself anymore. He walked past me and went to the drawers for some clothes
"You know I'm not much of a neat freak." He put on a tank top that reminded me a lot of the one I was wearing. I had to admit though, I was a little sad about seeing him with clothes back on... He looked over me and smiled. "I'm gonna take my pants off now. You can stay and watch but –"
"Bye" I said and closed door behind me. His muffled laugh rang through the hall. I went downstairs and saw that unlike in my room he'd really cleaned here. I sat on the couch, waiting for him to come back down as my phone started to ring. Lexi was calling me
"Hello?" I answered
"Hey babe, how's it going with the sexy skater boy?" she giggled and I had to admit that was a perfect description of him…
"It's… it's going." I said and glanced at the stairs.
"Is he being a gentleman?"
"Yeah, he is actually. Wait, shouldn't you be working?" It should still be time for her shift.
"I am… sort of. Anyway what are you two going to do today?" she changed the subject.
"Show him around London I guess. I can't think of anything else…"
"I'm sure he could think of a few things he wants to do with you" I could hear smile the in her words
"Why do I get the feeling that you're thinking of something inappropriate?"
"Because you know me so well" she giggled again and I heard footsteps. Cody was coming back downstairs
"I'll call you later okay?"
"Sure, sure. Have fun" she teased and we hung up
"I'm back" Cody announced when he reached the final step. "So what's on the agenda for today?"
"Well I was thinking I could show you around London. To all the touristy placed and such, since this is the first time you've been here." I honestly couldn't think of anything else to do.
"Whatever you want is fine by me. I'm all yours." He smiled and I did too
"Alright, well, let's go then." I said and we headed to the door. Cody reached for his Chocolate zip up hoodie and I got a text. I shook my head expecting a suggestive comment from Lexi. But it wasn't her text, it was from Niall.
Hey Kitty, good morning. Forgot to tell you last night but I got a new phone. Text me whenever. Sorry about the way I acted yesterday you know how it is with us. Hope to see you soon. –Niall
"Who is it?" Cody asked leaning in trying to see my phone
"Lexi" I lied and put my phone back in my jeans. "I told her about my plan. She just wanted to recommend a few places."
"Okay…" Cody said a little suspicious but just shrugged it off. He walked to the door and held it open for me, bowing and smiling at the ground. "After you, milady."
I giggled and he followed me out the door.
