We spent the whole day out on the town. As promised I took Cody to all the common tourist sites in London. We visited Westminster Abbey, the Tower Bridge, and Buckingham Palace. Besides that we just walked around the city spending time together. Big Ben struck as we passed it making us vibrate from the sound. Cody enjoyed his time but I had saved the best for last

Once it started getting dark I took Cody to the London Eye. It was one of my favorite places in all of London and I was excited to take him there. We waited in line but it wasn't boring. There was hardly a time when we were just standing and the street performers nearby kept things entertaining. I was seriously impressed with the muscle strength of the people statues. I was sure I could never be able to do that. My version of a workout was walking from the couch to the kitchen.

"Come on, we're next" Cody said pulling my arm in. Surprisingly we got a capsule to ourselves. There weren't many people in line today, probably because it was a weekday. We got on and soon enough the wheel turned, slowly lifting us up. It was beautiful, the London sky at night. I had been on several times before and I still loved coming here.

"It's beautiful isn't it…" I said dreamily as I stared at all of London

"Yeah…" Cody answered but something in his voice sounded off. I turned around to find he was looking down at me, his expression distant. "I think I'm going to like living here." He laughed a little to himself as I smiled back. We spent the rest of our time watching the skyline in silence. Every once in a while I found him looking down at me but otherwise we just enjoyed our time in the capsule. Once our time was up we left the London Eye to go to a park near my home. After crossing the River Thames we arrived at Green Park.

There were very few light posts lighting the path in the park. We were sometimes caught in the darkness between but eventually went back to the light. I would have never walked here alone at night but with Cody I felt safe. He wasn't a very goody-two-shoes kind of person and I had seen what he could do in a fight. With him next to me I had nothing to worry about.

"Wanna sit down?" he asked motioning to a bench nearby. I nodded and fell onto the seat. The bench was cold and it felt good against my skin. Today had been a hot day, or at least as hot as it can get here. I leaned back on the bench and wiggled uncomfortably against the stiff metal

"Here" Cody said, leaning my head forward. He put his arm on the back of the bench and leaned me back, resting my head on his arm. I could feel his muscles flexing under me, he had so many. Even with those it was soft and very comfortable. "Better?"

"Yeah" I nodded and smiled up at him. It made me laugh a little how short I was compared to everyone around me. Niall was about five inches taller than me and Cody was at least eight. I tried to remember a time when I may have been taller than one of them but I couldn't. I had always been short and I just had to accept that. I was brought back from my thoughts by Cody's laughter next to me

"So, you come here often?" he commented making me laugh

"Sometimes but never at night" I replied. I knew his words had only been a joke but I had a habit of answering questions, no matter how silly they were.

"Good. A girl like you should never be out at night alone."

"What do you mean a girl like me?" I asked but instead of answering he smiled to himself and looked around the park. It was mostly deserted, besides the two of us. Every once in a while I would see a shadow a little ways away but I never saw an actual person. A breeze hit us, making me shiver. It had gotten a little colder than I had expected and I hadn't brought a jacket with me. It didn't occur to me that we would spend the entire day out and now all I was left with was a tank top and goosebumps.

I heard Cody chuckle next to me and turned to see him shaking his head at me. He had mentioned several times through the day that we should go back home and get me a coat before it got too cold. I had insisted several times that I was fine and that I wouldn't get that cold. Obviously I had been wrong. I stuck out my tongue at him making laugh even more.

"I told you so" he mocked taking his arm from behind my head. I was going to make a snide comment, or at least as snide as I can get, before I saw what he was doing. Cody took off his Chocolate hoodie and held it out to me. I didn't even bother denying it since he would've argued with me until I took it. I liked guy jackets; they were actually designed to keep them warm. Girl jackets were made to be pretty and a lot of the time they didn't even help me against the cold.

"Thank you" I told him and put it on. His hoody smelled just like my favorite cologne. I had given it to him for his last birthday, Bleu de Chanel. It was the best thing I had ever smelled and it made my head swim, the fact that he smelled like that too. I rubbed nose against the long sleeves to make it less obvious that I was smelling him. Thankfully he didn't seem to notice.

For a long time we just sat there, talking about random things. We spoke of our hometown and all that I had missed. Cody made a point to tell me it wasn't much. I asked him what his plan was, now that he was moving to London. He had the same idea as Lexi; get a job and maybe go to a few classes at a local Uni. But first, he wanted to find a flat. I told him he could stay with us as long as he wanted and he smiled very thankful. Eventually we made our way back home, having done more than enough for one day.

Once we were back home we were both spent. Still, I wasn't tired. Cody turned to the TV while I went up to my room to change. First thing I did was take off my shoes. The cold floor against my bare feet made me shiver but with the weather being a lot nicer than outside I didn't mind. I put myself into some sweats and a different tank top. It had originally been a t-shirt but I cut the sleeves off and some of the neckline. I folded my clothes and neatly put them on top of my dresser before hurrying downstairs to Cody.

"You're shirt's on backwards" was the first thing he said. He started laughing at me as I looked down. He was right. I puffed a cheek in protest which only made him laughed harder.

"I happen to like it this way" I lied, walking to the couch. Cody was skipping through channels looking perfectly at home here. I smiled. "You tired?"

"No" he shook his head and smiled back. "You probably are though" he mentioned looking at my shirt again. I laughed and slapped him on his shoulder. He stopped on a sappy romantic movie, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days. He turned to me with a smile plain on his face "Wanna watch?"

"Sure" I laughed and turned to the TV. Unlike most people Cody understood my indifference towards romantic comedies. He never tried to make feel like I needed to take it seriously even though I knew he did. He always denied it but I knew deep down the boy was a romantic.

We sat on the couch and laughed as the movie came to its obvious end. Everything was good in their world and they all lived happily ever after. Once it was over Cody went back to flipping channels and once he settled on something a little less sappy he asked me if I was hungry. I nodded. Neither of us wanted to cook so we settled for ordering a pizza. As he did I decided to text Niall back. A lot of time had passed since this morning but I felt bad that I hadn't said anything. What was worse is that I had been too distracted with Cody to even think about texting him…
