1Suite Life on Deck

Bailey Belle

I DO NOT OWN SLOD OR ANY CHARACTERS

Cody settled in his seat and tried to have his mind come back down to the ground. His thought process kept getting intruded by all his worries. He could not believe he gave in to lying to Bailey keeping secrets. It was so distant to who he truly was. Cody would always tell what was stirring in his mind, but with this it was unallowed. If he told her, everything they built together would go downhill. They were supposed to have this secure feeling around each other, but earlier it was like that disappeared. Like the love they shared was being torn away from them. When Zacharry said "Yours" something struck Cody. Was he the only one keeping secrets or was she also?

"Zacharry, are you aware of something that I don't know... About Bailey?" Cody said and Zacharry noticed how curious he was and how much the idea of Bailey hiding things from him developed.

"Why? Are you suspicious of her actions?" Zacharry said trying not to laugh at his brother's paranoia. He really thought Bailey knew something that he didn't.

"No, it's just that...I am convinced that there is something she is refusing to tell me. Usually we are always around each other, but now we are dodging each other. We aren't as close it feels like."

" Are you sure that's her fault though? Are you sure that it is not your lies that are restraining you back from the relationship?" Cody shook his head in annoyance. He was so oblivious to the things Zacharry had already figured out.

"I am not sure what to assume or evaluate as a fact or not. I just don't comprehend how things could get so complicated. When we are near we had never had any problems, but this quandary may destroy what we created. This small issue that all I have to solve it is just telling her." Cody said now tapping his hands against the table trying to find the correct option.

"If you do love Bailey and I am pretty positive you do, you and her have to talk, but still talking isn't going to solve everything. You two have to do something. Talking is obviously the first step." Cody knew he was right. You can always keep things buried for so long..."

"I know of that...I have been telling myself that all day long. It's just I am afraid of confronting her. I fear her reactions. I fear that our love for each other will turn against me. I fear that when I come back if I go...It will be over between us. That she would move on."

"Oh, Cody...They always do eventually" Zacharry said teasing him trying to hit Cody's soft spot. Cody was not in the mood for wasting his time on bickering. His mind was overflowing with all these possibilities. Then something came into his mind. He didn't understand why he did not think of it before. "What if she comes on aboard with us? She can still be apart of my life and apart of the journey! The answer was right in front of my face." Cody jumped out of his seat with excitement. He knew what he needed to be done. Zacharry hated that idea, but he put on an insincere smile acting as if he did care about his brother and the way he was feeling. Be proud of his brother because he made a breakthrough. Inside he was exploding with rage and he didn't feel like he could contain it for any longer.

" Good job, brother, but how can you be so positive that she would respond with the answer you would want to receive?" Zacharry said and that raised Cody's doubts again and the paranoia started to continue...Cody couldn't let that stop him though. He knew what he wanted and if he knew Bailey loved him just as much, she would say yes. She would want this just as much as she. She always wanted to travel the world also so that made him think the result would be better.

"I don't know...But like you said, talking isn't going to do anything, it's our actions. I know what is going to bring Bailey and I forward...together. Thank you brother for your advice. Right now I have to focus on making this anniversary the best one she ever experienced." Cody then ran off and Zacharry just sat there at the table and put his head in his hands. He felt powerless. He knew that with Cody out of the picture, Bailey wouldn't be able to commit to Cody and then he could easily steal her from whatever chump she was with...Now, there was no guarantees...And it was too late for plotting. That didn't mean he would not try though.

Days later Cody and Bailey's anniversary did arrive. This was a important day for both of them. They had to expose everything they had kept hidden. They had to answer every question the other had to ask. They both had to have strength. What they both were keeping hidden was information that would change everything. They both knew their choices and what they needed to do. There was no brushing it off until further in the future. They had to act now. They had to conquer the things that were haunting them.

Cody arrived to pick up Bailey at the Tipton mansion wearing a new sack suit. He made his way to the mansion in a horse drawn carriage. He had a few surprises up his sleeves and he would rather keep where they were going secretive. The man came around and opened the door revealing the sight of Bailey on the Tipton stairs to him. He held a rose behind his back ready to present it to her. He was sweating a little bit because he was nervous, but he was almost positive she would accept his invitation. He continued approaching the steps and once again her beauty stunned him.

She was wearing a lilac dress with ruffles edged with lace and a white satin belt with a black zipper. Cody was trying to keep a steady pace while walking forward her. He started sweating more nervously at the thought that he could lose her, but he kept it together. He wouldn't allow himself to fall apart yet since the plan was not even activated.

"Mr. Martin, how nice to be face to face with you again..." Bailey said traveling down the steps closer to him meeting him at the bottom.

"As well you, Ms. Pickett. I am wordless to how beautiful you look. You are like a million stars illuminating the night sky. You have the power to melt anyone's heart with your kindness." Cody said flirtatiously making Bailey giggle goofily in response. Before anyone could give an answer she grabbed the collar of his suit pulling him into her lips. Colliding together every thought erased. They were shaky about telling each other still though. They knew that it would come eventually, but they tried pushing the thought back. Cody was more determined and positive that the ending would be victorious. He knew that they would do anything to be together and any rejection from her would be a slim. Cody and Bailey disconnected and both felt their heart explode from their chest.

"Happy anniversary." Cody said bringing up the rose and she beamed up at him. She stole the rose out of his hand.

"Happy anniversary." She said back stealing a peck on the lips. Cody felt his heart beat speed up and so did she. One part was being together and the dominating part was the apprehension of explaining. Giving every detail. Filling in the missing pieces of the equation. They put on smiles though. They knew that today was important. Cody turned towards the carriage and put out his arm for her to take, she took is without hesitation. They both were secretly screaming on the inside. The man driving the carriage opened the door and Bailey walked in first and then he came quickly behind. Today was the day everything came out... If the other accepted it or not, it didn't matter...There was no going back after today...
