"Bailey, please listen to me." Cody was directly behind her, looking at his most handsome in a tuxedo and glowing in the morning light.
Bailey blushed and tried to move round him. "Cody, I can't be here, you don't understand." Her promise to Reina weighed heavily on her mind and Bailey's conscience wouldn't let her forget it. A promise was a promise.
"No," he said, his voice strong and in control. Bailey stopped fidgeting and looked up at him. He reached for her hands, holding them securely in his large ones. His skin was cool and comforting to her.
"I know about your promise to Reina but I don't care. I have fancied you since I first saw you, Bailey, not when you were dressed as a boy, obviously," he smirked and blushed. "But I realised then that I wanted to be with you and I would so happy and so blessed if you wanted to be with me too." His hands still curled around hers and he smiled that lop-sided smile that set butterflies free deep inside her.
"But, Cody," she looked directly up into his eyes. "Why me? You could ask out any girl on the ship but you chose me. There are much prettier, funnier girls who don't speak about Kansas and farming, like me."
His mouth dropped the smile it previously held and paused in a straight line. He became disgruntled, almost angry. "Bailey, you do not obviously see what I and everyone else sees in you. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever met. You are so smart and so funny and I love, absolutely adore that you tell us all stories about your home life. I could not ask for a better girl because you are everything I am looking for."
Her eyes were shining and his hand reached up to stroke and hold her face. He leaned in closer, tipping her head back.
"Please, Bailey, be my girlfriend?" It was hushed, whispered through his hot breath on her face.
"Yes, Cody," she whispered back, before his lips met hers in their first kiss.
I know it's short but whatevssss. Enjoy!
