"Best Friends" Is A Choosy Label
Chapter Three
"Cody...?" Sierra sounded confused and concerned. She couldn't understand why he would just stop and why he stood up so quickly, as if not wanting the kiss anymore. Her heart beat loudly against her chest as she waited anxiously for him to say something, do something. This couldn't possibly ruin the progress she had made between her and Cody, could it?
Cody stood silent, debating on leaving the room or trying to stick things out and spend more time with Sierra. He was bound to see her again. She was his stalker after all. And if she didn't already know his address, which she probably did, he had already planned on writing it down and slipping it into her pocket when she was asleep. It would be a nice surprise to her if she didn't know it. He subtly shook his head to rid his mind of distracting thoughts, trying to figure out which option would be best.
"Did I do something wrong?" Sierra's voice sounded sad as she asked the question. Cody was happy he wasn't looking at her. He could only imagine the face she was making. He let out a sigh before turning to face her.
"No Sierra, you didn't do anything wrong." He walked over to the bed, sitting at least two feet away from her. He looked at the floor briefly before looking up into one of his, now, true best friend's eyes. "I'm just a little confused is all." He stopped speaking for a moment and realized he had made Sierra assume he was done talking.
"What's there to be confused about? We kissed, we liked it, then you stopped it for no reason!" As Sierra spoke, her tone sounded pouty, though to her it was a very serious matter. She wanted Cody to like this. She had thought he did enjoy kissing her, considering it lasted a few minutes. He would have never have allowed it before, and he would have surely thrown up if it were a few weeks ago. She was more confused at that instant than she had ever been in her life time.
"That's exactly what I'm confused about." He looked at her with an expression to match his thoughts. "I need you to make another promise with me real quick, okay?" He hoped that she would instantly agree, but he didn't think she would do otherwise.
"What is the promise?" She asked, curiosity now laced in her tone.
"Promise you won't attack me after the things I have to say leave my mouth. That also includes that you won't attack me later for it either." He had a worried look as he slightly backed away from her, preparing for breaking the news to her.
"Before I promise, what kind of attack are we talking her?" She looked at him skeptically, thinking the worst as worry flowed through her body and she thought of how abruptly he had stood after ending the kiss.
"Any kind of attack. Just promise Sierra." He looked at her pleadingly, knowing she wouldn't refuse.
"I promise, but only because it's so hard to say no to you when you look so cute." She smiled at him, thinking it was adorable that Cody had looked at her in such a manner.
"Okay," he spoke lightly yet exasperatedly, happy that she finally said it. He took a deep breath before continuing. "What I am really confused about is why I am being so stupid." He sighed, looking down. "I don't like to admit this, but I don't know why I keep chasing after Gwen. She's never going to like me no matter how much I want her too. Then there's you. It's obvious that you want to be with me and that you aren't going to stop trying." As the sentence left his mouth, his gaze at the ground seemed to intensify. He stopped talking for a few minutes, with Sierra remaining silent due to the fact that it looked as though he was deep in thought.
"I guess what I am trying to say is I don't want you to stop trying. I was just shocked when we kissed." He shrugged, acting as though what he was saying wasn't that big of a deal. He wasn't sure how he should act around Sierra at that moment, let alone what he should say to her. And he was sure he had already said or done something wrong. After his shoulders dropped his eyes met yet again with Sierra's, preparing for her reaction.

Heather and Alejandro finally ended their long make out session when the need for a break overpowered them. They weren't sure how long it went on for, nor did they care as they basked in the bliss they were feeling. After mere moments Heather's careless and happy look quickly disappeared as she looked at Alejandro with an irritated expression.
"I don't like and crave your cheesy lines, f.y.i." Heather smirked at him smugly, acting confident in her words. "I could live without them." She spoke with attitude, though it didn't seem to faze Alejandro. She glared at him as a smirk grew on his face.
"The longer you lie to yourself, the more you fall in love with me." He smirked as he tried to lie back on the bed. He looked like an idiot struggling, though it hurt him to sit up. Alejandro had already been sitting up for several minutes and it was exhausting, it took away from the fun of the conversation. He saw Heather frown as she watched him, then got pissed when he heard her laugh.
"Something funny?" He glared daggers at her, the volume of his tone dangerously low.
"No," a smirk grew on her face, "not at all." Heather sounded amused as she laid her hands on Alejandro's shoulder, helping him lay back. She looked him directly in the eyes, seeing that he wasn't as mad as he was putting on.
"Then wipe that smirk off your face." He gave her a look that told her to listen. The only reactions he received were a dismissive 'psh' sound and his woman of interest standing to get something on the nightstand.
"I'll smirk at you if I want to. You're not going to stop me. I'd like to see you try." Her smirk grew more as her gratification grew. She grabbed the burn ointment that lay on the nightstand where she had tossed it, taking the few steps to sit next to Alejandro.
"You're lucky I can't really move my arms and legs right now." He warned her.
"Sure I am. Now shut up so I can put this on your face." She did a quick scan of her hands, deciding they were clean enough to apply the ointment herself. She put a little of the burn ointment on a few spots on his face and slowly began to rub it into his skin. She was sure it wasn't a pleasant feeling, but she wanted to try to make his face heal so he could look normal again.
"There." She said as if she didn't care, tossing the tube back onto the nightstand she got it from. "On a side note, I need to get to my room soon." She nodded to him, confirming what she had said. "It has to be midnight by now." She wanted him to ask her to stay, to try to sway her to stay.
"Then go ahead. I'm not stopping you." He smirked deviously at her.
She had to admit that if you could get past the awkward patches of hair, the baldness, and his temporarily bad burns, he was still very attractive when he had that devious look about him. Heather was pissed that he wasn't trying to get her to stay though. She had no idea why he wouldn't attempt to. He just didn't want to admit that he wanted her there more than she wanted to be there. Who could blame him though? The last time he had admitted anything to her, she had betrayed him. She rolled her eyes at the thought.
"Alright." She stood, stretching with a yawn as she stood next to the bed. "Have fun being stuck in a bed by yourself." She mocked him with a grin as she turned on her feet.
"I'd rather be in it by myself than in it with you." He shot back, his own defiant confidence building. So he was stuck in his bed? He could still get to Heather and piss her off if need be.
"Sure you would." She turned to face him, her ego growing. "Cause without me that's the way it'll be forever." This was territory she didn't want to step into, though it seemed there was no other option. She was just as hated as Alejandro. The hatred the other contestants felt towards Alejandro was fresh, recent hatred, that's the only reason she wasn't seen as the most hated at the moment.
Alejandro wasn't surprised that Heather would say something like that. It barely affected him. He knew that women would be skeptical of him if they had watched Total Drama World Tour, but he would have nothing to use other women for. He also knew Heather wanted to sleep in his bed with him. He knew Heather wanted all of him, no matter how she tried to act like she doesn't. Plus she herself said what she said atop the volcano wasn't fake.
"I can assure yours would be much lonelier than mine 'mi angel.'" Knowing that he was always more liked than Heather, excluding the part of his life that was specifically involved with the group of people known as the Total Drama contestants, plus Chris, Chef, and Blaineley, he grinned with satisfaction. She would always come crawling back to him, he was sure of it.
"Now that I've said what I needed to," he spoke it kindly, just to dig it in deeper for her, "don't let the door hit that beautiful culo of yours on the way out." He was triumphant. He had beat Heather at her own game that she had tried to win. He watched with satisfaction as she huffed irritated, and walk towards the door.
"Think whatever that thick ass head of yours wants to." She spoke angrily as she walked out of the room, closing the door loudly behind her.
Alejandro laughed with amusement at how she had reacted. She was funny when she didn't try to be. He knew she would be back that night. So he closed his eyes to rest them, waiting patiently for her to come back. He knew she had his key card in her pocket.
Heather shook her head half of the way to her hotel room as she quickly swiped her card through the door. She pushed the door open rather roughly, stopping it before it hit the wall. As she closed it she knew what she would do. She would make Alejandro regret saying that he didn't want her in his bed.
She began to look through her items of clothing, finding a cute lacy black bra with a matching pair of lacy black boy-short underwear. She found that there was a white tank top and black pair of sleeping shorts that she had packed in a small backpack in case something happened to their normal luggage. She jumped in the shower, cleaning herself as quick as possible. In ten minutes she was showered, dried, dressed, and blow drying her hair.
With a confident stride, she made her way to Alejandro's room, both their keys in hand. Without knocking or warning, she slid the key card as quietly as possible, trying not to open the door loudly. She made her way in the room, a smirk stuck on her features.
"I knew you'd be back." Alejandro started talking before he even turned to look at Heather. He wished he would have never glanced over at her, being as the first thing he saw was her bra through her shirt. He knew she was taunting him, teasing him. It wasn't fair because he couldn't really touch her. She was such a bitch when she wanted to be.
"Oh did you now? I just wanted to show you what you were missing," She placed her hands on her shorts, giving a wiggle of her hips. Her smirk was flirty as she sauntered closer to the bed, though making sure the way her hips moved was alluring. She knew she had won when she saw Alejandro's eyes brighten with curiosity and what looked like lust.
"So I think it's time to get comfortable. I can finally sleep how I used to before this stupid show." Her smirk grew devious as she pushed her shorts down to the floor. She reached down, picking them up as if being in her underwear in front of him didn't phase her one bit. She assumed to some people this might seem a bit slut-ish, but she knew she was playing the right cards. He would want to see more, he would want her in his room, and she would make sure of it. This wasn't the thing she would normally do, but he couldn't move. She had to tease his sense of sight since touch was basically out of the question, he could barely move.
"So I'm going to make a deal with you." She grinned, moving the last few paces to sit on the bed alluringly next to him, shorts in hand. "If you admit you want me in your bed," she leaned down, to look him more directly in the eyes, though it was to give him a better view of her chest, "I will stay in here with you."
"Heather," Alejandro started to slowly lean his head up a few inches. How he was moving was agonizingly long and slow to him, though it was to decrease the distance between them as slow as possible, "I really want you to," he stopped less than two inches from her lips, "get off my bed." He smirked knowing he had caught her off guard.
"What?" Was the only response Heather could come up with. She thought for sure this would work. "You know what Alejandro?" She stood, turning to face away from him, quickly sliding her shorts back on. "I will not be back in this room." She started to walk towards the door, hoping now more than ever that if something good was to ever happen to her in her life, that this be the moment that it did. All he had to do was stop her from leaving that hotel room.
"It's the last night we'll see each other for a while. Just stay Heather." He sounded the total opposite of amused as he watched Heather turn back around to look at him. He could tell she didn't want to leave. He had pushed too far. He wanted more than anything for her to stay. If she would have walked out the door that time she wouldn't have come back. They weren't even sure when they would see each other next.
She looked at the ground as if considering. She bit her lip, though could tell from her peripheral vision that he was confused why. Her eyes met his as she walked towards the bed. She purposely climbed over him, though tried not to actually brush against his skin. She lay in the bed next to him, pulling the covers over herself. Before she let her head hit the pillow, she leaned over to give him a tender kiss on the lips. It only lasted seconds but it was all she needed to know things between them were established at that moment.
"I knew you didn't want to leave," he spoke against her lips with the smirk obvious, kissing her again for multiple seconds.
Heather was happy that she had decided to tease Alejandro one last time. If she wouldn't have come back in the room she wouldn't have been spending the night with Alejandro. She didn't want the kiss to end as she adjusted her position so half of her upper body was leaning over him, not once thinking if it would hurt him. If it did, he didn't mind. She continued kissing him, deciding words weren't necessary knowing what they were going to be doing most of the night.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Sierra grinned as she leaned in closer to Cody, hoping her mind wasn't over analyzing what he had said. What else could he have possibly meant other than he was willing to develop feelings for her? That was more than a breakthrough to her!
"That depends on what you think I'm saying?" He let out a confused, awkward chuckle. He wasn't sure what was going through her mind. He hadn't expected her to react in such a way. He was starting to worry about himself. He was also starting to regret his decision. He shouldn't have ever made the agreement to go in her room in the first place. Was it much of an agreement in the first place if she pulled him down onto her lap and wheeled him into the room?
"You're telling me that you want to give 'us' a chance to happen! You're actually open to liking me, liking me?" Sierra's grin only grew farther as she continued to look Cody dead in the eyes. Her eyes sparkled with a happiness that Cody had never seen in her eyes. It had even out done the sparkle that was in her eyes when she had proclaimed they were married and when he had said they were 'best friends.'
Cody pondered over what she had thought for a moment. If he had told her yes, he could get out of actually telling her he liked her. Things would still remain semi normal, but they would just be a little closer. Best friends could kiss, one have secret feelings for the other, and one of them be obsessed with the other, without it ruining the friendship. It was possible. She couldn't make him like her that much in one night. It wasn't possible. Cody was sure he couldn't be swayed so easily by Sierra.
"Yeah, you're right. I'm open to, if it happens to occur in the future, liking you as more than a best friend. But that doesn't mean that you up the ante of some of the things you do. What you do right now is enough, believe me." As the words 'believe me' left his mouth, he sounded disturbed by some memories. He watched Sierra giggle as the words left his mouth and her move instantaneously leg to leg with him.
"But you liked kissing me didn't you? We can kiss as much as you want Cody! I don't mind at all. I assure you that you can kiss me as many times as you'd like and I won't do any different than I normally would." Sierra tried to control the elation that was fiercely on the rise with each passing second. Her heart pounded against her chest as her mind went a million miles an hour. She couldn't believe this was happening. She actually had a chance with Cody?
"I guess there isn't anything wrong with kissing your friend for just enjoyment, is there?" He laughed lightly, starting to feel more comfortable with his current situation. The smile stayed on his face as he felt Sierra's arms wrap around his neck. She leaned in closer to him, mere inches away from his face. He reached out, placing his hand on her hip that was closest to him. In an instant, Sierra closed the distance between them, connecting their lips.
Cody didn't wait long to allow Sierra's tongue access to his mouth. Their tongues danced together as her fingers lightly grazed his back alluringly. Cody felt as though his hand had a mind of its own as he started to caress Sierra's side, enjoying every second that their lips were connected.
Sierra noticed that she and Cody were sitting far enough back on the bed to give her space to maneuver to sit on him straddled. Without breaking the kiss, and with all the effort she could put into it, Sierra adjusted her position, placing herself straddled over Cody's legs. Another hand was soon placed on Sierra's hip as she grinned into the kiss. It was hard to hold herself up due to her injuries, but she didn't want to stop the kiss for any reason until Cody decided to pull away. She felt the hat be pulled from her head, hearing it hit the floor with a soft sound. She realized they would be kissing for quite some time.
Since she was taller than Cody the position she was in was more than uncomfortable as she was hunched over to continue to be mouth to mouth with Cody. Feeling as though there was only one option to fix her current predicament, she placed her hand teasingly on Cody's chest. She giddily traced lines up and down his chest before lightly pushing him to lie back on the bed, still leaving his feet flat against the floor and their lips connected.
Cody made a surprised noise into the kiss as he tried to wrap his mind around what was happening. He had never imagined kissing Sierra before, but he thought it would be an unpleasant experience the times she had tried. Even the times she did before it had disgusted him. But that was when she had totally freaked him out. Once you got to know her, she really wasn't all that bad. He knew he couldn't blame her for liking him because he knew nobody could control who they liked. Instead of pushing away her affection as he had before, he wanted it because she was willing to give it. It wasn't something he had received much, though he would never say that.
He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and began to glide his fingers along her spine. He felt the chill that rippled through her body, then realized she was holding herself up with her forearms. He now smiled into the kiss, forgetting any guard that he had put up to keep Sierra out. After a few more minutes, Cody pulled away in need of a break. He opened his eyes to see Sierra grinning like crazy and a blush clear on her cheeks. He watched her move off of him to sit next to him, leaving their legs touching.
"Wow Cody. You're such a great kisser! It's better than I could have ever imagined." She looked at him dreamily, grinning away. Nothing could shatter Sierra's happy mood. She glanced at the clock to see that it was almost ten at night, now hoping Cody wouldn't look at the time and decide to leave.
"You're not too bad yourself." He could have smacked himself on the forehead for saying such a thing. He could have given her a better response than that, though he didn't think when the words left his mouth. He was in a blissful high that he hadn't ever experienced, and it had thrown off his judgment for a moment. It didn't seem to bother Sierra as she giggled, causing Cody to smile all the more.
"You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you say that Cody-kins. Feel my heart, it's beating like crazy." She reached out, grabbing Cody's hand lightly and placing it right below her left collarbone. She knew by the small blush that creeped onto his face that he could feel it too. Though the blush could have just been because his hand was on her chest.
"It is. My hearts beating a little fast too, but it's calming down a lot." He told her the truth of how he was feeling. There was no harm in opening up to Sierra. He was glad that he had discovered this fact. She really was a good person. He was becoming happy that he had decided to say all the things he had to her, otherwise he was sure this never would have happened. The kisses they shared and now the small moments they could share. He began to wonder if this is how a relationship with Sierra would be every day.
"I like it when you make my heart race." She spoke in a flirtatious tone, hoping Cody would make a move for once. She knew this was a make or break thing. If he made a move, then she had a chance of winning him over by the end of the night. She watched Cody's smile turn into a small smirk, causing her to assume that Cody was thinking the same kind of things that she herself was.
Cody let his hand slide down her chest as he dropped it down onto his own leg. He noticed that his hand had grazed over her breast, but that was why he had done it. He knew she wouldn't mind. It was obvious she didn't when a big smile appeared on her face. She turned to face Cody, folding the leg closer to him onto the bed. This way she was able to directly face him and place her hands on his thigh.
"I think you should stay the night. It's not like Chris is paying attention or that he'll even care." Sierra gave a small nod, hoping Cody would give in. She grew worried when Cody was silent for a second and didn't reply instantaneously. However, all worry was washed away when she heard the next spoken sentence from Cody.
"I might. I don't see what would be wrong with it." He gave her a happy lopsided grin, surprised at himself that it didn't take him long to make a decision. "But if you go overboard I am leaving the room. Okay?" He gave her a small warning, but made sure there was a tone of tender sternness as he spoke. He knew she'd agree. She was really predictable sometimes.
"I promise I won't do anything I normally wouldn't do Cody. We went over this before." Sierra sounded amused. She couldn't help but to be. "I just want this time with you before we go home. But don't worry, I'll visit you as much as I possibly can." They smiled at each other, agreeing that was the best thing for them after they left Hawaii.

Courtney glared as she watched the two of them walk away. She had really expected Duncan to try to stay there. She didn't plan on chasing after him. That would affect her already bulletproof ideas. She knew he'd be back around her eventually that night; she just had to be patient. With that in mind she closed her eyes, enjoying the heat of the sun on her skin as she tapped her fingers to a tune in her head.
Duncan and Gwen held hands as they walked down the beach, each step carrying them farther and farther away from the hotel they were staying at. Gwen swung their hands lightly, playfully, enjoying the moment of peace she was able to share with Duncan. She looked over to her boyfriend, smiling at him.
"This is much better. Don't you think so? I don't feel like Courtney's staring us to death anymore." She chuckled lightly, earning a laugh from Duncan.
"Yeah. I'm with you on that one." He shook his head, letting out the last of his quiet laughter. "This beach is nice anyways. Never thought I'd get to go to Hawaii. It was never in my plan for spending my money." He laughed, though it seemed more forced the genuine.
"It is really nice. I don't really like being in the sun too long. I mean, you've seen how I burn." She laughed as well, looking over to the horizon to see that the sun would be setting in at least an hour or two. "Maybe we should go in the water?" She suggested with a flirty grin on her face, hoping he'd want to have a little fun.
"Yeah you burn bad. That was amusing though." He chuckled and shook his head at the memory, using it as an excuse to glance back at the hotel for a split second. Something in him told him to go back and see what Courtney was up to. Though he may be carrying a conversation with Gwen, his mind was only on Courtney at the moment. It was like she was getting him infatuated with her all over again! He was sure it was dangerous territory, and the thought only made him grin internally. When had he ever passed by dangerous territory? Duncan was always one to enter it.
"Yeah yeah. You're one to speak with the amusing things that have happened to you." She mocked back, playfully jabbing him in the side with the pointer finger of her free hand. She looked amused when Duncan abruptly stopped, thinking he was going to do something she found funny or cute.
"Before it gets too dark I think I'm going to steal a camera from the gift shop in the hotel. It'd be awesome to take some pictures home." He motioned with his thumb to point behind himself towards the hotel. "I shouldn't take that long." He smiled at her, giving her a quick peck on the lips before turning in the blink of an eye. He started off towards the hotel, trying not to look as though he was rushing back. He wanted to know what Courtney was up to.
Gwen watched Duncan walk away suspiciously. He hadn't even listened to the last thing he said. He disregarded a playful and enjoyable talk between the two of them. She couldn't believe it, though she had a hankering she knew why he was acting strange. Waiting a few minutes, Gwen started off towards the hotel, already knowing she was going to sneak towards the pool area.
Duncan approached the pool area, smirking when he saw that Courtney was still in the lawn chair. He made his way leisurely over, sitting down on the chair next to hers.
"Well well well, what have we here? Sunshine soaking up the sun?" He joked, unable to contain the cocky smirk that grew. He thought his mouth would be stuck as the smirk as he watched Courtney sit up and turn on her chair, placing her feet on the ground to face him.
"What do you want?" She asked, irritation obvious in her voice. She was ecstatic that he had actually come back as she had planned he would. She knew him better than he thought. It almost made her laugh. Though she was good at acting, so she had to look and sound irritated, which wasn't hard.
"I couldn't help but notice you rubbing that tanning lotion on you earlier," he started, leaning in closer to her by placing his elbow on his knee. "And I think someone wanted to catch my eye."
He sounded so smug, it made Courtney want to smack him. She rolled her eyes, looking at him as if he were crazy.
"Ah, hello? It's called putting tanning lotion on. I didn't want to catch anyone's eye. You looked yourself you pervert." She turned her head away from him, acting as though she were disgusted in him.
"No, I'm pretty sure you wanted to get my attention there sweetheart." He let out a pompous laugh as he lifted his bottom, just enough to pull his chair a few inches closer to Courtney's.
"Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend?" She knew she sounded more pissed than she wanted to admit she still was, but she could have cared less at that moment. "You're such a pig!"
"Shouldn't I be with my girlfriend? You're the one who was making loud noise just to make me look over, to see you bent over with your ass halfway in the air. How is that not going to get my attention? Let alone you sitting there rubbing that lotion all over your body the way you did. I can see right past your plan Courtney." He knew he was victorious. There was no way she could talk or argue herself out of that one. Duncan had her right where he wanted her. He had turned the tables. Even if he wanted nothing to do with her a week ago, she was a very alluring young woman. She was a ten in a lot, if not most, men's books.
"Could you be any more egotistical? I was moving a chair into the sun, I dropped my sunglasses, and I had to put the tanning lotion on so I didn't burn and I'd get a nice tan. Since when is this any of your business?" She crossed her arms angrily, looking at him with a pissed off expression. It was something Duncan was used to though, and found attractive, so it really didn't faze him when Courtney looked at him the way she was.
"I could be more egotistical. Yeah," he chuckled lightly. "I know you want me back." He grinned wildly as he knew he was pushing her buttons.
"You are such an ass! You know that? I'm glad we aren't together anymore, so stop trying. You're a pervert, you're unhygienic, you still have that stupid mohawk and that stupid eyebrow ring. Do you know how bad I want to rip that thing out? I have no desire what so ever so be with the likes of you ever again."
"You think I want you back? Hah! You're hilarious Courtney." He laughed hard, making it seem as though she was a total joke. "Why would I want a stuck up, prude, controlling, bitch to be my girlfriend? Been there, tried that. And guess what? It was fucking unbearable." He mocked her, starting to actually grow angry.
"You say those things about me like they're bad. News flash! Not everyone does things that are bad, has sexual interactions any chance they get, or lacks any respect or decency for themselves in public. You sicken me. You and your pale, freak, gothy girlfriend." She leaned closer in anger, spewing the words before she had time to even think them over.
"News flash to Courtney! I don't give a fuck!" He spoke the last sentence slowly but loudly, leaning in closer and closer with each word. Their glares were more intense than they had ever been at one another. Courtney wanted to slap Duncan in the face, Duncan wanted to push her backwards off the lawn chair. Instead the two went with the next most natural thought and reaction. Their lips slammed together in a heated kiss.
As they both awkwardly leaned off their chairs halfway, their tongues danced in fury, trying to drown out the anger. Both knew they would still be pissed at one another, and both knew they shouldn't be kissing, but neither cared nor stopped. Duncan reached out, pulling Courtney over to him, sitting her on his right leg, allowing her legs to dangle in between his.
Courtney's hands roamed around Duncan's shoulder blades, neck, and the back of his head, occasionally gliding across his mohawk. Duncan's hands possessively moved their way around Courtney's sides, abdomen, and lower back, trying to get as much of it as he could before it ended. He knew she wouldn't let it go on too long.
He was surprised yet pleased to feel her fingers lace into his mohawk, giving it a moderate tug. Duncan moaned into the kiss, letting his hands fall to her thighs. At that Courtney stood up, taking a step back.
"You're such a neanderthal!" She turned on her heels, starting back towards the hotel. When she knew Duncan couldn't see her face, she finally smirked the smirk she had been holding in. Her idea was working!
"And you're a bundle of flippin' joy!" He spoke angrily as he watched her walk away, mumbling "a sexy one at that," as he watched her hips move 'til she entered the hotel. He stood quickly, ignoring his pounding heart as he raced to the hotel gift shop to steal the camera he had left his girlfriend earlier to 'steal.'
Gwen quietly and slowly approached an area she could spy on the pool from. No more than ten meters away from where she had known Courtney was moments before. She was shocked and utterly disappointed to find her boyfriend passionately making out with his ex, each leaning from one lawn chair to connect their lips. She frowned as she moved away, quickly making her way back towards the beach. There was no need to wait to see what happened, she had already seen enough.
She sat down, wondering how long Duncan would keep her waiting. She was more than annoyed when he didn't come back for another fifteen minutes. She could have only imagined what had happened in that time, at least with Courtney she knew it wouldn't be much. Though Gwen knew it wasn't like she and Duncan had really done anything too intimate either. She stared out at the ocean as Duncan walked over to sit down next to her, placing his arm around her shoulder.
"I got us two so you could have one." He leaned over, kissing her cheek lightly. He felt her pull the camera out of his hand, though snatched from his hand seemed to be more like it. He looked at her curiously, noticing then there was something wrong.
"What?" He looked at her, worried she may have seen something or heard something. He couldn't understand how she could have though.
"I saw you kissing Courtney, Duncan! I am not going to let the same thing that happened to Courtney happen to me. Don't even try to defend yourself because I saw it myself." She stood, not even looking at Duncan. "We're done." It wasn't something she wanted to say. It actually made her feel like shit to say it. But she didn't want to lose Duncan the same way Courtney had lost him, to Courtney herself. It was too ironic. Karma really was a bitch, wasn't it? She turned on her heels, taking a few steps. "I need time alone." With that, she walked away, happy that she had her own room so she could have some peace and quiet. She briskly made her way to her room, accidentally slamming her hotel room door shut in the process.
Duncan watched Gwen walk off, unsure if he should even try to follow her. He knew she was really pissed off, even if she didn't show how pissed off she really was. He sighed as he mentally evaluated the situation he had gotten himself in.
"Are you happy Princess? I'm sure you got what you wanted, sneaky bitch." He shook his head at himself as he stood and made his way back to the hotel alone.

"I was actually wondering if you'd come visit or if you even had my address. But I was sure you would so I decided not to ask." Cody shrugged as he pulled himself more onto the bed, laying his head on one of the pillows. Sierra lay down next to Cody, making sure their bodies were inches apart. Cody felt her movement and turned his head to look over at her, seeing her do the same. He felt her hand against his own and allowed her to lace their fingers together.
"I try not to be away from you for too long Codykins." She nodded, turning completely onto her side to get into a comfier position. Her free hand was now able to rest on Cody's stomach, which she took full advantage of. Her hand moved from hip to hip, over most areas of his stomach.
"I figured that out." He joked, lightening the mood more. It was nice to have this kind of time. It was fun, it was relaxing, it was pleasant.
"You'll have to come visit me sometime and meet my mom! She'd freak out if she sees that you actually came to my house willingly to see me. She totally supports me liking you. But I don't know how she'll be once I get home and make her take apart the Chris McLean shrine/guest room. He turned out to be such an asshole. I don't see how she still likes him." She sounded confused, amused, and happy all at the same time as she spoke. She wasn't even sure why she was rambling, but Cody was listening and smiling at her, so she couldn't stop.
"We are best friends, of course I'll come visit some time. As for Chris, you couldn't tell he was an asshole when you watched Total Drama Island?" He laughed lightly, though he was being completely serious about Chris at the same time.
"Oh I totally could. But I thought that since I was a huge fan of his and thought he was hot that he would go easy on me. And he was nice to me at first. Then he became an asshole like I purposely blew up the plane." She rolled her eyes at the thought. "But if that wouldn't have happened, who knows how things would have went. And I am happy that things are the way they are." Her smile was radiant as she kept eye contact with Cody. She stopped running her hand from hip to hip on Cody's stomach and opted to draw shapes and write words lightly across his abdomen.
Cody didn't ever expect that hearing Sierra say someone else was hot would bother him, though she rarely said it. But at that moment it briefly did bother him and he tried to shake it off. It wasn't difficult to shake it off as he felt the chills go through his body, due to the change in how she was touching his stomach. It was a very nice feeling that he hadn't experienced and he was glad it was Sierra. She was actually starting to make him feel comfortable.
"I am too. So I didn't win the million," he smiled as he began to run his thumb along her hand that was connected to his, "at least Alejandro didn't win. And knowing Chris we'll probably be tossed into another show at some point. So I'll get another chance for the million. I just hope you're there to help again, otherwise I'll never make it to the final three again." He laughed lightly, hoping Sierra caught the compliment and the confession hidden in his words. He didn't want to be direct about everything to her. Sierra was smart enough to figure some things out on her own.
"You really want me around now? Like a lot? Ah! Oh my goodness Cody. This is like my dream come true!" She sounded so excited as she leaned in to give him a few second kiss on the lips. She stopped moving her hand, laying it flat on the bottom of his stomach, right under his navel. "Cody, I know now more than ever that you will love me one day!" She sounded more sure than ever as she leaned in for several small kisses. She couldn't stop herself as the euphoria enveloped her. There was no stopping it now.
Cody kissed Sierra back the first ten times with a smile on his face. Then it slowly fell as he realized she was in one of her 'moments' now. When she went overboard, it was something that really creeped Cody out, but she was so happy that he didn't want to burst her bubble. She was the only person to wish him happy birthday that year. He could at least let her kiss him hundreds of times sweetly, right?
"Sierra, you're starting to overdo it." He tried to speak between kisses. He was relieved when she stopped and moved back to her original position lying next to him. They continued to hold hands as Sierra smiled at him innocently.
"Sorry." She let out a small giggle as her eyes twinkled. Cody thought at that moment Sierra looked more attractive than he had ever seen her.
"It's okay." He laughed lightly. It was then that he noticed they were still in their still damp clothes. "We came back here to change and we didn't. So let me go get dressed and I'll be back. You get dressed while I'm gone." He nodded, leaning in to give her a quick peck on the lips before he stood up. He hadn't even noticed he did it. He only noticed something was up when he heard Sierra squeal. He froze mid way to the door, realizing his mistake.
"Take my key with you so you can get back in. It'll be hard for me to get all the way across the room to open the door for you." Her grin looked painful it was so huge as she looked up and down Cody appreciatively. "See you in a few minutes Codykins!" She tossed the key card over to him, purposely making it so he had to bend over in front of her. She smirked to herself as she got a full view of Cody's bottom. She realized Cody was starting to become wrapped around her finger as he rushed out the door, seemingly to get back to her. She couldn't even imagine how things could get any better.
She slowly moved into the wheelchair to access some dry clothes. She placed a pair of pajama pants, underwear, and a tank top on her lap, wheeling herself over towards the bed. She moved herself and her pajamas to her bed, allowing her to remove her clothes easier. She started with her pants and undies, hoping to get them done before Cody came back. It took numerous minutes for the process to be complete since she couldn't put much weight on her ankles.
Cody held her key card in his hand as he rushed to his own room. He was glad it was close. He removed his own key card from his pocket, quickly swiping it through the door to enter. He placed both cards on the dresser before looking quickly through his clothes. He grabbed his pajamas and a fresh pair of underwear. It had only taken a few minutes to switch his clothes. He hung his old clothes over the towel rack in the bathroom. He knew he'd have to rush back early in the morning so nobody would see him leave Sierra's room in his pajamas. They would have known he had stayed the night, and he didn't want anyone to get any wrong ideas...Though would they technically be wrong?
He didn't care to think of it as he picked the cards back up, closing his door quietly behind himself as he exited the room. He was within feet of her door as he took a deep breath. He hoped something interesting would happen that night, but he was unprepared with what he was met with when he opened the door to Sierra's room.
Sierra gasped in utter shock, hearing her door open. She quickly pulled the tank top down over her head, which she had been in the process of when her door was opened. She was a bright red as she looked over at Cody, who slowly pushed the door shut behind him. She was a little relieved to find that he was red as well, though his mouth was partially open in shock and he was staring at her chest.
"I'm so sorry Sierra! I should have knocked first. I don't know what I was thinking." He looked to her face, his expression apologetic. He was sincere about what he was saying, but he didn't mind seeing what he saw. It would just be a little distracting to spend the night in Sierra's hotel room.
"It's okay Cody. I know you didn't do it on purpose, though I guess I don't really mind." She was a little more embarrassed than she would have liked to admit. She let out a small laugh as she watched Cody walk slowly over to her bed. With one quick glance up and down Cody's body, she was able to tell he was aroused. He sat down next to her, relaxing some after what had just happened.
"I think I'm going to get comfy, but I'm going to lock your door just in case someone manages to get a special key card or something. Who knows with these people. The last thing we need is someone bursting in here for whatever reason." He rolled his eyes, thinking about how so many people that were on Total Drama at some point wouldn't care to burst in someone's room unannounced.
"Go ahead, lock it. I definitely don't mind that at all." Sierra noticed her tone was naturally more flirtatious at the moment. It seemed to be working as Cody crossed the room in a few strides to lock the door, only to return just as quickly. Before he was able to lie down, she looked to the light that was on in the room. She knew a better mood could be set if it were darker. So she was thinking of taking advantage of the situation, who wouldn't? "Can you turn the light off too, before you actually lay down?" She laid back on her bed, getting under the covers.
"Yeah I'll get them." Cody smiled as he moved from the bed one more time to turn the lights off. He blindly made his way back to the bed, having to climb over Sierra's body just to make it to the other side, though neither minded. The covers had already been moved back for him to get into, and he grinned, glad Sierra couldn't see he was happy about that. Though he wondered if she had noticed anything else he was 'happy' about.
"It's nice of you to agree to stay in my room Cody." She spoke softly as she shifted her body closer, making it so their bodies were centimeters apart. Parts of their bodies brushed against each other, though unintentional.
"I wanted to stay in here Sierra." He leaned in a little, leaning his forehead gently against hers. Their eyes had adjusted a little to the dark so they were able to make out the outlines of each other's faces. Both noticed that the other had been smiling almost nonstop with the other for upwards of an hour now. Taking in an unnoticeable, but deep breath, Cody moved the rest of the distance, connecting their lips for the second time that night.
