Suite Life On Deck

Bailey Belle

I DO NOT OWN SLOD OR ANY CHARACTERS

The night continued on and that soon turned into morning. Bailey couldn't sleep all night as Cody held her close in his arms. She just silently wept. She disguised it though so Cody would not be able to recognize how sad she was too lose him, she consistently told herself to be unselfish. She wanted to be selfish though...She wanted him, but she knew what he wanted should come before her needs. The thought that there were just hours before he heads off into the open seas haunted her mind. That soon would be their last farewell for six months . Time wasn't on their side anymore. Bailey adjusted her body so he was able to look at him when he was sleeping. Cody groaned a bit when this occurred, but it didn't disturb him enough to wake him up. She placed her hand on his smooth soft skin on his face. He was like a sculpture, a dazzling sculpture. A sculpture that could take away any beings heart. He took away her heart the instant they met. His bangs fell over his closed eyes as he took in slow steady breaths. His chest rising and falling. There was no one else in the universe she would give her love too besides him.

"I am going to miss you so much..." Bailey whispered under her breath. She loved him, but if you love something...you have to let it go... this was their time...at least for now. She just watched him for several of the approaching hours occasionally wiping her eyes. The flow of her tears were getting onerous to deal with. Her eyes were turning red and her eyelids became heavier. She thought about all the conclusions about how this one trip could turn out. Some were not as pleasant as others. She pushed them away though. This was the time for him to have his moment. To follow his dreams. He was creating his own destiny. She was willing to give him up if she had to for his future. He was important to her and all the moments they shared together would never be forgotten. She just wanted to have her wish to be together through any circumstance's to be granted. He was the only man she truly felt for her entire life. They could understand each other's ideas and comprehend on the same level. Just by the simplest communication, they knew they belonged with one another.

Cody eventually had his eyes flutter open and saw Bailey laying in front of him on her side looking at him intently. He just gazed back at her and then he noticed her face was wet. As hard as she tried to mask it, anyone could see how clear it was. She was saddened. So was he. Cody despised the sight that was in front of him. She was torn to pieces and he did not know what to do to heal them.

"Bailey..." He said grabbing one of her hands kissing it. She put on a smile though and pretended. Cody knew all the cards Bailey played. He knew she was acting he knew she didn't want to see him go. Cody wanted her. He would give up everything for that.

"Good morning, Cody. Have good dreams?" Bailey said trying to uplift her mood and his. Trying to think of something else. Bailey was stubborn this way. She would deny anything. Especially her feelings. She didn't want to make anyone feel down so she always put on that smile and tried to lighten up the mood. Cody knew if she asked her how she was truly feeling she would deny it. She would pretend that there were never any traces of that emotion over a specific situation. When she had an opinion she stuck by it.

"Dreams? I am next to the girl I am head over heels for, I thought this was a dream. That's weird." This time she didn't smile because she felt like there wasn't any other choice, she smiled because she felt happy. Cody knew Bailey inside and out. It was complicated for her to open up to people, but to Cody, they were like magnets. Instantly fine with each other's existence. Cody leaned in and planted a long passionate kiss on her lips. Cody would kiss every part of her skin that was left unclothed. He finally made it up to her neck and started sucking and biting at it and she made no attempt to discontinue this action. She moaned as she pulled him closer lifting her head making him have better access. She wanted to feel his lips on her skin constantly. He made his way up to her lips and they kissed harder and harder. Bailey hands felt his chest as they continued to kiss. Finally they decided to discontinue there actions. Both were still restless a little bit. As the sun shined through the windows they both dreaded it. The sun meant a new day. A day that meant farewell.

"Sweetheart, why were you crying?" Cody said finally bringing the topic up. Cody knew the answer, but he wanted Bailey to admit to it. She was hesitant to answering. Cody knew she always tried to be strong and have a strong head on her shoulders.

" I am not. Why would you assume something as spurious as that?" Bailey said burying the emotions that were placed inside her. She did not want Cody to know so she wouldn't be the reason that prevented him from going.

" Bails, listen, if you are upset about me departing, you are allowed to tell me... Because I am going to miss you more than anything..." Cody said and now he was getting a little worked up. He wanted her to take this step with him. Bailey recognized this action.

" Of course I am going to miss you, silly. I can not hide that.." Bailey said finally opening up. Cody was the more sensitive one in the relationship, but that was one of the things that attracted her to him.

" Bailey...please...come with me." Cody said pleading. He kissed her hand over and over wanting to receive a comforting response. Bailey just looked at him her mouth now opening to talk, but her look told him everything. " I shouldn't of asked you. I was well aware of the answer you were going to give. Why set myself up to get hurt?"

"Cody-" Before she could finish Cody cut her off. Cody was hurt and she knew that. She could see it in his crystal blue eyes. Cody understood the message that was being sent by her facial expression.

"You know, I think I should get going." Cody hastily got up and started changing. Bailey just looked at him her head tilted.

"Cody, don't do that. Please, get back here." Bailey said attempting to calm him down. He felt as if his heart was just ripped out of his chest. He did not understand why she was so unwilling to go with him. He thought what they both had was special...

" Cody, I did not intend to offend you...you know why I can't go...I can't just get up and go with you and leave everything behind. I am going to be there when you get back... when you do, I will be more than glad to see you." Bailey said getting out of the bed wrapping her arms around his neck trying to make him resist the temptation of leaving. "Cody, we talked about this. I know this day is adding a lot of pressure to you, but don't get stressed about it. I will be here to assist you in anyway that I can."

" Either way I should probably exit. I need to collect my belongings. Will you meet me by the docks?" Cody looked at her with pleading eyes. Those were useless though. She wouldn't miss it for the world. That look in his eyes was not needed.

" Cody, that is a question that is not even worth asking about. You shouldn't have any worries about me not attending. Wild horses couldn't keep me from seeing you walk out of my life for six months..." Bailey said and as those words slipped out of her mouth she felt a little...depressed. The image of Cody gone for six months with barely any contact...was...unbearable. She just kept thinking about it and her feelings worsened. Cody gave her a kiss on a cheek before leaving. Cody and Bailey disconnected eye contact and it already felt like they were saying goodbye. Like it was already over.

Cody approached his room at his house and gathered his bags and other utilities he would need. He then saw something on his desk and the light was bouncing off of it. He approached the item on the desk and picked it up. It was the pocket watch Bailey had given him days ago. He kept rereading the message that was engraved. That gave him the confidence that everything would be fine and that their would be no regrets about leaving. Yes, he would miss his beloved, but she wanted him to do this...maybe he could make it through those six months. Maybe Bailey would still love him when he returned. He knew that she would. When he thought of her with another man, it weakened his heart, but he put her trust in her. He would always do that. Cody then heard a knock on the door and he turned his attention towards the noise. There was his brother.

"Brother, I think we should get going. It's getting late and the seas are getting rough I heard. We should hurry up if we should arrive on schedule. Only you would possibly think of creating a schedule to travel the world to different locations..."

"Right, I apologize for my tardiness. I will be right outside." Zacharry then exited Cody's room. Cody quickly stuffed the pocket watch inside of his pocket and fetched his bags. He ran outside of the room and his mother and brother got inside of the carriage and took the road towards the dock. As said Cody saw Bailey outside on the docks with London and Maddie. Cody frowned...his hours turned to minutes. Soon he would be parting all of them...all the ones he loved.

The doors to the carriage gave an opening and the driver got him his bags along with Zacharry's. Cody abet his mother out of the carriage carefully. He did not want her to fall on the ground. Zacharry informed his brother that most of the men were already there on the boat and ready to go. Zacharry came early in the morning and checked in the ten other men who were helping them along the rough seas and put them to work. Zacharry made his way over to Maddie first to say goodbye. Maddie and him were more close knit and had a great friendship plus, he did still have his childish crush on her. Cody approached his mother first.

" I can't believe my little baby boy is leaving me...Oh, I am going to miss your presence at home...you really are becoming an independent man."

" I have been for years now, mother...Even though I am more independent doesn't mean I would not need my mother. Who knows what mess Zacharry could drag me in..." Cody said with a chuckle and his mother gave him a big bear hug.

"I am going to miss you so much...I have one rule though for you to follow by." Cody's mother said releasing the embrace. Cody looked at her trying to think of what that meant. "Do not listen to Zacharry."

"I never do anymore. I love you, mother." Cody said smiling at her. His mother was the one of the biggest parts in his life. She supported him and whenever Zacharry and him would get into a fight she was there to give him the advice when he was younger.

"I love you too." Cody then picked up his bags and continued towards his other friends. Zacharry and Cody approached London at the same time and before they got a word out she hugged both of them at separate times and said the opposite twins name. Cody was about to correct her, but he stopped himself.

"I'm going to miss you too London, thank you for being a mentor and friend of us for these past years." Cody said sincerely. He was going to miss her even though they had their altercations in the past.

"Yes, I agree with the words my younger twin just said, thank you, it was more than appreciated." Zacharry stated, but London wasn't too friendly with Zacharry anymore. She still was quite suspicious of him. Zacharry was a schemer and London knew that. Zacharry made his way over to Bailey his last victim to say goodbye too who wasn't his mother.

"Zacharry." Bailey said smiling putting her arms around him giving him a long, but simple hug. Zacharry did not want to let go of her body, but eventually she did pull away to Zacharry's dismay. Cody said basically the same thing he said to London to Maddie. They both were there for Cody and he loved them for always being a good friend. Maddie was always the smart relatable one he could rely on.

Cody saw his girlfriend unlatch from Zacharry and Cody kept staring at her. He could feel his tears start forming in her eyes. When Cody and Bailey saw each other, they both could not prevent the painful emotions. They just embraced each other tightly. Cody did not want to pull away. Cody saved Bailey for last because he wanted to delay their goodbyes.

" I do not want to say goodbye..." Cody said into her neck. Bailey nodded back choking on the words she wanted to say.

"I don't want to say farewell either...but sometimes it's for the best, I don't know how I am going to be able to cope, but when I see your face and hear your stories, I know we made the right choice." Bailey wanted Cody to accomplish his dreams so when he got back, the baby wouldn't be able to interfere with it. She just hated the thought of his reaction when he saw her pregnant six months from now.

" That doesn't make it any less hard." Cody said pulling away looking into her eyes. Oh, those eyes that would soon disappear from his life...those big brown eyes...

" I know, Cody Kitten." Bailey said pressing her hand up against his heart. Their hearts started to beat fast. Cody thought that would be the last time for a half of a year to be called that sweet name that made his heart melt.

"Please, just come with me, I can't live without you..." Cody said asking over and over. Bailey was still sticking to her decision she would not give in.

"Cody...I just can't. I love you, but I can't. You know that..."

"Then I will stay here." Cody said wanting her. He could only imagine a life without her. That life was cruel and unsatisfying. His heart broke thinking of it.

"Cody, this is your time to shine, follow your dreams. Discover something you haven't discovered anymore." Bailey then looked down and she noticed the pocket watch chain falling out of her pocket and she reached towards it. She held it up to his face.

"Cody, I forgot to tell you another reason as to why I got you this watch that day." Bailey said placing it in his hand. " You know how that even though the days end, the clock hands keep ticking, it never stops. Just like our love for each other. Our love is endless just like the love we share." Cody gave her one last look taking in everything about her. He looked deeply into her eyes.

" I love you..." Cody said and they just stared into each other's eyes which seemed like an eternity.

"I love you too...that will never end." Bailey and Cody then leaned into each other's lips. The kiss was sad, but they tried to release all the passion they could. Cody wrapped his hand tightly around her body pulling her closer. They then released the kiss and they both gave each other a long hug. They didn't wanted to freeze time and just stay there...when they pulled away Cody wiped away one of Bailey's tears.

"I'll see you soon...Bailey Bunny." Bailey was holding back her tears, but it was so difficult. Tears would run down her cheeks. She watched Cody and his brother walk down the dock and onto the boat. Cody turned and gave her one last smile and a wave. Then before they knew it, the boat was off...Cody disappeared as the boat started to make it's way off. Bailey was a mess. When she watched him go off that was when all the tears held in started to flow.

Zacharry on the other hand was jealous of how in depth Cody and Bailey's relationship was. Cody and Bailey had this big moment and all Zacharry got was a hug and his name. He wanted more than that. He wanted Bailey to realize. Realize that they were perfect for each other. Meant to be together. She was blinded by his brother though. She just wouldn't admit it...Zacharry's thoughts just got worst and worst...
