1Suite Life on Deck

Bailey Belle

I DO NOT OWN SLOD OR ANY CHARACTERS

The sun streamed into the room illuminating it. Cody had his arms protectively wrapped around Bailey the entire night. They found a sense of pleasure and warmth. Their bodies clung onto each other and it felt like the most natural thing in the world. They of course didn't notice how close they were because they were in heavy slumber. Even if they were conscious though they would not have a care. They loved each other and immensely and loved sharing sweet tender moments. The path of light interrupted Cody's sleep and his eyes were heavy, but he forced them to open to the exposing sun light. Cody looked at the sleeping beauty that laid her head on the pillow beside him. He just smiled. She was so peaceful as she slept. It was like nothing could harm and disturb her. He wondered if she was in the REM state yet. All her hoped for was her to be blessed with the best of dreams. She didn't want her to have any fears in her sleeping state and he certainly didn't want her to arrive to her fears in reality. It would be a lie to say he did not wonder what happened the other night. How she got locked inside...All these wild ideas would flash inside of his head signaling him to be more careful and on his toes to make sure she was in complete safety. He knew there were many possibilities, he was just being paranoid.

Eventually Cody decided to wake her up after a little while. He moved in closer to her and start placing kisses on her neck and cheeks. She would stir a little bit. He slowly traveled his way up to her lips and kissed them. This got a full reaction. Her eyes start to flutter open beginning to realize the atmosphere that surrounded her.

"You stayed?" She said smiling up at him fully happy with herself. Cody just looked down into her big brown eyes. Every time he looked into those two perfect eyes he knew no one in the world could be as beautiful as she was. Cody grinned down at her stroking his hand against her cheek.

"Of course I did...There's no one I would rather be with..." Bailey then leaned up and placed a kiss on his mouth. She was exhausted from last night. She then remembered what happened last nigh and groaned in displeasure. The unbearable and unnatural noises she heard that was moving around in the closet with her. The rats crawling around in the room... "What is troubling you?" Cody said looking down at her still. She looked into his blue eyes and was comforted to some extent, but what happened was still bouncing around in her mind.

"I think you know that answer, Cody. I yen to forget..." Cody immediately knew what she was referring to when she groaned, he just wanted to see if she would admit to how upsetting that whole occurrence was.

" What's on your mind about it, if you don't mind me asking? If you want to keep the idea's that the wheels are creating in your head you do not have to tell me. I only wish for your happiness. If talking about it does not make you happy I also have a desire to forget." Cody said showing his concern and carefulness about this delicate topic.

"I just don't understand..." Bailey did not finish her sentence which made Cody wonder more and more.

"You don't understand what, Bails?" Cody said with his curiosity getting the best of him. Cody held Bailey's hand and kissed it trying to make her feel mor e comfortable in talking to him. Her being comfortable wasn't the reason why she was so hesitant to tell him.

"I don't understand how I got locked inside...I remember as I walked down the hallway. Nobody was around..."

"Maybe it wasn't a somebody...Maybe it was the wind..." Cody said offering one of his guesses to the table. He knew it was a slim chance it was true, but he wanted Bailey to forget that event. Pretend like it never existed. Like it was a spec of dust.

" Cody, you don't honestly believe that, do you? I mean, there isn't even a window or any opening in the Tipton's hallway that could of form a gust of wind like that." Bailey said having a serious tone obviously getting frustrated over the matter. Cody sensed this. Her mind was spinning trying to think of something...Someone had to close that door in on her.

"Bails, maybe it could of been some sort of creature. The doors were opened to the Tipton house so it could of crawled inside without anyone noticing." Bailey was still against that idea. It just all didn't add up to her. One piece did not correspond to the other.

" I don't think an animal could of used that much force...Cody...Do you think quite possibly it was someone?" Bailey said off in her own little world. She was thinking of every possibility and the odds were not looking good to her. Cody on the other hand knew she wasn't herself.

"Bails, whatever it was or whoever it was, it's over. You are safe. That's all that matters." Cody said trying to convince her, but she wasn't one to take people's words so easily. She knew she could trust Cody, but she had a problem with trust... She had people make promises to her life when she was younger all the time...those promises were empty though. Words were just words.

" I know, but whoever it is could still be out there...Why would they want to do something like that to me anyways? I would like to consider myself a friendly person. Do you agree?"

"Of course you're a friendly person, I don't think that was ever in question. Maybe it was an accident. Someone could of hit it unaware that someone was located inside the room." Cody just wanted to relocate Bailey's mind. He did not want her to think of things along those lines.

"I guess...But there is no way to be absolutely positive of that assumption you just created."

"And how do we know that someone would purposely lock you inside? If you keep thinking about that situation how do you expect yourself to get over it and be free from it? That little event that happened last night is the cage and you are allowing yourself to be the animal inside it. Don't think about it and be free." Cody wanted to encourage her. Remind her that you have control over your own life and where your destiny leads you.

" How should we be sure it wont happen again?"

"Because I wont let it." Cody snapped at her right off the bat. Bailey finally took a chance to absorb in everything Cody was discussing to her about. She knew when he was like that he meant his words. He no longer had a smile on his face, but a serious expression. His words were not like venom, but they were like the antidote. He made several points, but something was picking at her. She just nodded to him in understanding. She was wordless.

"Okay..." She choked out. She knew Cody would do anything for her and she was just being paranoid.

"Is it okay if I depart from you for a little bit?I don't want Zacharry to think I spent the night doing something other than sleeping. Not that it's any of his business, but you do know how he loves to tease."

"Of course it is...I'll see you later on." Bailey said still shaken up a little bit. But Cody had never lied to her and have always been honest so she should trust that he would be there for her through anything. Cody kissed her on the cheek and then ran out of the house.

A/N I know, short chapter...I stink...I just couldn't really think of anything...And I felt bad for not updating in two days...I am so on writers block for this part of the story and I apologize for that...This chapter is not my favorite to be honest...I have a few ideas, but I'm still plotting it all out in my head. Sorry for the horrible chapter! I hope the next will be better and far more interesting... ):
