ALL A DARE (CODY SIMPSON)

Chapter 5

I slowly get up out of bed remembering last night. I hung out with Cody at the pool. I slowly open my window and set my feet on the window seal above my bed. I kind of just listen to the noises outside and how beautiful it sounds.

I hear birds and some singing. I roll off my bed and walk to my patio. I look around and see Cody in his room singing. I watch him sing his song. He is singing Pretty Brown Eyes but instead of brown he is singing blue. What? I wait form him to be finished.

"Yo Cody" I say.

His head pops up and he walks onto his patio.

"Yo Laura?" He says.

'Nice song but one problem"

"Yeah?" He asks.

"Blue?" I smile.

His cheeks go red and I know why.

"Love me much?" I laugh and go back inside.

I turn up my music all the way so even Cody can hear it loud and clear. I play Smack That by Akon. One of my favorite songs for some reason. I jam out to it and sing along to it. After the song ends Lolly with Justin Bieber turns on. I smile and sing while I wash my hair and body. I lean over and shave my legs and armpits. I know I'm hot. I get out with a towel around my body and one in my hair. I walk out of the bathroom while thinking about what to wear. I go to my closet and search around. I grab a Starbucks tank and a pair of tan shorts. I slip them on and go do my makeup. I do the same makeup everyday. White in the inner corner, gold eye shadow, long lashes, and black eyeliner. Its pretty basic looking and calm. I hum along to some of Austin Mahone's songs. I hear something behind me and I jump. I walk over to a ball. Something has been taped on to it, paper. I open it up and see Cody's handwriting. I read it. Something about meet him at the beach. I grab my phone and head to the water.

When I get down there I see Cody with a guitar and a blanket. I blush and drop my head to the ground as I bite my lip.  He takes my hand and we sit next to each other. He starts playing with lyrics that hurt my heart.

"I've been trying to find the right words

But they always seem to hit the page wro-o-u-wrong

You see I tend to fight words

You breathe 'em into life, and they're gone

I need some louder speaking actions

They do what letters could never do-o-o-o

You see, you are my addiction

I need more than words to show you

So listen

To-to-to-to me, so listen,

Li-li-li-listen to my heartbeat

I'd like to think you understand me

But I never really like to assume

So you never have to ask me

I'm a let my actions tell you the tru-hu-huth

For you-hu-hu-hu

There is nothing I wouldn't go through-hu-hu-hu

And if you need some proo-oo-oo-oof

You can find it in what I do-oo-oo-oo

Listen to me baby

And I could tell you everyday

Just how much I want you

I-I-I-I I've never been good with words

But I went and wrote this song for you

So listen, to-to-to-to me, so listen

Listen to my heartbeat

So listen, (Hey) to-to-to-to me (to me), so listen (Yeah, yeah)

Listen to my heartbeat

 So listen to-to-to-to me, (to me ohh) so listen

Listen to my heartbeat (le-le-le-listen to my heartbeat)

So listen (listen) to-to-to-to me, (to me) so listen (ooohh)

Listen to my heartbeat (listen to my heartbeat)

Listen to my heartbeat

Listen to my heartbeat "

Tears start up in my eyes and I feel so happy with him right now.

"Laura? Will you go out with me?" Cody asks.

"Yes" I almost scream.

Cody leans in and kisses my lips. Its one of those slow passionate kisses that make you cry in movies. I slowly let myself fade away to everything else. His hand lays on my cheek and the other on my waist. Tingles run through my body. I never want this moment to end, ever.

He pulls away and rests his forehead on mine. He looks into my eyes and I get lost in his. I just about die about how beautiful they are.  I slowly stand up and take him with me. I jump on his back and he grabs my legs. I scream as he runs towards the water. My phone and his guitar stay on the beach up top of the blanket. No one else was out so we had the whole beach to our selves. He run into the water and dunks me in it. I end up pulling him in with me. As I hit the surface his blond hair comes up. He grabs my waist and holds my body close to his. I stare at his lips. I only reach to his lips, me being short. His hands pull me closer and I take his face in my hands. I pull his face to mind and kiss his lips.

We stood in the water for what felt like hours. But we had to get out because it was late and dark. We got out and headed home. I once again jumped onto the patio of my room with my phone in my mouth. I waved goodbye as he did the same.
