Never Been Hurt (Cari) (Sequel to 'The Hate Factor.')

Ari's 20th Birthday.

Ariana's POV

Yay! Today was my birthday! I was twenty today. And I knew Cody would call me old since I made that mistake and called him old. I can't get away with anything.

We didn't have anything to do today, other than a soundcheck later on, so it'd be nice just to hang low today. The room next to mine was where the boys dwelled, which was awfully quiet. Usually they made so much noise in the morning that it was unbelievable. I wondered what was going on.

There was a delivery for me around eleven, so I opened up my door to see flowers addressed to me. I smiled, instantly knowing who they were from. A note on it said,

Happy Birthday!

Hope you like them, even though you think they are cliche. ;)

From Mr. Nobody. xx

One person knew I thought roses were cliche, and would even think to sign 'Mr. Nobody' instead of their name or, secret admirer. Cody. I texted him a thank you.

Me: Thank you for my flowers. :) xxx

Cody: I didn't send flowers. Though, that's a good idea. I'll concider that for your next birthday.

Me: Oh sure, how many people would sign, Mr. Nobody? ;)

Cody: Mr. Nobody would of course. :P

Ok, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. He is too funny.

Me: Well be sure to thank Mr. Nobody when you see him around.

Cody: He's outside your door. :)

I looked at the door, than peeked through the hole in it. I smiled then opened it to see Cody.

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to the best most amazing beautiful awesome amazing I already said that girlfriend by the name of Ariana Bolton." He sang very fast. I laughed the whole time, but still listened. "Happy birthday to you!" He finished.

"I didn't know you sang so well, Mr. Nobody." I joked.

"I'm quite surprising." He grinned back. "Happy twentieth birthday! You are officially old, like me."

"I knew you were going to say that. And thank you." I smiled back.

"Now, for your present. I'm taking you our for the entire day so you can do whatever your little heart desires." Cody smiled happily.

"You are the sweetest person I know." I told him.

"Why thank you. Oh, and look what I got trending." Cody opened his phone an showed me a popular hash tag of the day.

#HappyBirthdayArianaBolton

"This might possibly be the best birthday ever." I replied.

"I'm glad I made this your best birthday too. Shall we go?" Cody asked.

"Give me five minutes." I went back into my room and got my purse. My five minutes was to post something on twitter. I opened no notifications. No people were going to ruin my day. Not this time. Instead, I posted,

@Ariana_Bolton: Signed, Mr. Nobody. Hmm, I wonder who that could be...;) Thank you @Cody_Mason !!! xx

Ok, now I was ready. I grabbed my shoes and put them on before walking out. Cody was waiting for me.

"Where do you want to go first?" He asked.

"It doesn't matter."

"This is 'your' day Ari. You have to pick." He added, then grinned mischievously. Someone was up to something.

Cody's POV

Oh, I just wanna take you anywhere that you'd like.

We can go out any day, any night.

I decided to annoy her by singing Kiss You by One Direction.

"Oh great, not this song!" She complained.

Baby, I'll take you there, take you there.

Baby, I'll take you there, yeah.

She was a semi fan after the X factor, but this was one of their songs she still found quite annoying. Which is why I sang it to her.

"You know I hate this song."

"Which is exactly why I am singing it to you. Now choose quickly before I start again." I joked.

"Ok ok, lets go find a place to eat at. I'm hungry."
