Ainsley's POV
I looked around the room, uneasily. I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell Cody who Aspen is. "Ains?" I looked up at Cody. "Are you okay? You know, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." He said, concerned. I took a shaky breath in.
"N-No it's okay. I want to tell you." And I was telling the truth. I really did want to tell Cody. I trust him enough. Now is the time.
"Aspen is my ex-boyfriend. The way we broke up was kind of rough..."
(( Flashback ))
"Hey baby, want to go to the club tonight?" Aspen asked. I smiled and stood up, off the bed walking over to him.
"Sounds fun," I commented, putting my arms around the back of his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer.
"I love you," he mumbled, kissing my lips, softly. I smiled into the kiss, and pulled away after a few seconds.
"I love you, too babe." I said. Aspen smiled at me.
"I'll leave, so you can get ready for the club tonight. I'll come back around 8 and then we can go?" Aspen asked. I nodded. He gave me a small peck on my lips then left the room. I sighed happily, and threw myself back onto my bed. I picked up my phone to check the time. It was already almost 7 so I figured I better start getting ready. I hopped into the shower and washed up quickly. Once I got out of the shower, I dried my hair, and loosely curled it. I slipped on a body tight black fitted dress. It was long sleeved and came down to a few inches above my knees. I wanted to keep my makeup on the down low, so I applied eyeliner and mascara only.
"Ainsley? Are you ready to go?" Aspen called up the stairs. I looked in the mirror and smiled at my reflection. I looked fucking hot. I grabbed my black flats and jogged down the stairs, eager for the night to begin.
Once we got to the club, I couldn't believe how many people were there. I don't usually go to clubs to be honest, but this one was just crazy. People were dancing on tables, barely wearing any clothes. Aspen looked at the girls with barely any clothes on and licked his lips. I looked away, pretending not to notice even though it kind of hurt. Aspen grabbed my hand and dragged me to the dance floor. "Come on baby," he said, grinding against me. I grimaced, not really liking what he was doing. He's never done this before... He is usually the sweetest guy ever. He's never grinded on me before. I just kind of stood there and I could tell that was making him mad. He gripped my arm tightly and dragged me off to one of the bedrooms.
He pushed me into one of the rooms and sat me on the bed. "You little dumb bitch..." He said, chuckling. "You really thought I loved you? It was all a lie. A dare actually. Guess who's got $300 now. You're just an ugly, fat, too attached, bitch. No one will ever love you," Aspen spit out. My tears spilled out faster than the Niagara Falls. This whole time I thought he loved me. I was so foolish to fall for it. Aspen laughed once he saw my tears. "Awh the fat pig is crying."
Aspen took me by my arm again and dragged me into the middle of the dance floor. He threw me down and I ended up on my knees with my head down, everyone staring at me. "Do you all see this girl? This girl thought she could actually be loved!" Aspen laughed. Everyone began laughing at me. Some people even threw their drinks at me. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I stumbled trying to stand up, and ran out of the club, and all the way home. Not once looking back.
(( Flashback Over ))
I turned to face Cody. He had tears sliding down his face. I gasped. "Cody! Why are y-you crying???" I asked, very concerned.
"I can't believe anyone would do that to you Ains.. Listen to me. Everything he said, none of it was true. You are the most beautiful lady I have ever met in my whole 16 years of existence. You are not fat. You are tiny! You should probably try gaining some weight to be honesty! You aren't dumb, and you most certainly are not a bitch. And I need to tell you something. I love you. Not just as a friend. I'm in love with you Ainsley. Every time I look at you my heartbeat speeds up, my hands get clammy. I get all sweaty and nervous. I want to be with you. I need to be with you. You are everything to me and more. Please tell me you feel the same." Cody explained.
I looked Cody right in the eyes and grabbed both of his hands. "I am in love with you, Cody Herbinko." I said. Cody smiled so big and pulled me in for a kiss. I held his cheeks in my hands and kissed back, happily.
"I can't believe you actually love me too! I thought for sure I was going to get rejected. Thank god I was wrong! Ainsley will you be my girlfriend?" Cody said, excitedly. I giggled and nodded, happily. I knew Cody wasn't going to break my heart. He picked me and and spun me around, setting me down a few seconds later to hug me tightly.
Cody's POV
I can't believe this. I did it! I told her how I feel and now the most amazing woman in the world is my girlfriend. I couldn't be any happier right now.
When Ainsley told me what happened between her and that Aspen boy, it made me so angry and upset. I just wanted to hug her and tell her everything would be alright, but I also wanted to beat the shit out of Aspen. But right now, all I want to do is cuddle with Ainsley. She's finally mine.
I grabbed Ainsley's hand, and pulled it up to my mouth, kissing it softly. She blushed bright red and I chuckled, pulling her into a big hug. She buried her face in my neck and I rested my chin on her head. I am so happy to have her. "Cody you mean so much to me," she mumbled into my shoulder.
I smiled. "You mean a lot to me too baby girl."
God, how'd I get so lucky?
