Chapter 17

---

I pulled into the parking lot of the hotel Liam had said him and the boys had been staying in and quickly found a parking space. I turned the keys out of ignition and grabbed my bag.

I shivered when the cold air hit my bare skin. Next time out, I bring a jacket.

"That's what you get." Maddy laughed tugging on her jacket.

I rubbed my arms trying to generate heat on the short walk to the hotel. I wave of heat hit me when I opened the doors and I sighed in relief and as we made our way to the elevator.

"What floor is it again?" I asked.

"Eighth." She said, but it sounded like more of a question.

I pressed the eighth floor button and the doors started to close, but a hand shot in between them making them opened again.

"Sorry ladies." Sounded a perfect Australian accent.

"It's okay." I said looking for his eyes but they were focused to the left of me.

"Hi." Maddy said.

"Hey." He said. "I'm Cody."

"I'm Maddy." She replied blushing. Her nostrils flared momentarily which meant she knew she was blushing, she didn't know why, and she was am she was doing so.

I laughed mentally.

"This is Abi." She said pointing to me.

"Hey." I said. "Floor?"

"Um," He shook his head thoughts rolling back to him. "Tenth."

I pressed the tenth floor button and pulled out my phone pretending not to listen to the conversation they were having together.

"What brings you to Ireland?" She asked.

"I'm going to visit my mate in England. But I'm early. The flight there is in two weeks so I'm just hanging out in Ireland with my other mate until then. Plus there's a little set of shows over here. So looks like I'll be here a while." He said.

"That's really cool." She said.

"Hey, ya'know. I could use a little but of showing around if you're interested?" He asked.

"Uh, yeah sure." I glanced over for a second in time to see him fishing his phone from his back pocket and her smiling.

The bell dinged I exited the elevator leaving Maddy behind. When I heard the doors close I turned around.

"I. Just. Met. My. Idol." She said.

I just looked at her. "What?"

She ran up to me and jumped.

"That was Cody! Cody Simpson!" She almost yelled.

"Cody Simpson." I said. "Woah, woah, woah, what. The Cody Simpson. The Cody Simpson that you listen to 24/7." I said.

She nodded excitedly.

"Wow. You met your idol. And have got his number? Um is this going happen to me or?" I looked passed her. "Is Justin Bieber staying here as well? Am I going to get some digits?"

"Stop." She giggled. "You have Niall. Or will."

I rolled my eyes.

"Not with Della around."
