About the Boy || Cody Bellinger

Nineteen

Cody's POV- July 2017

"Can I at least throw you a ball?" I asked.

Maddy smiled as she lifted her Catcher's helmet to drink water.

"No because you can get hurt"

She reached over to gently pinch my cheek when I frowned at her.

"It's for your own good"

"So are we done here?" I wondered.

We both turned towards the baseball field where Cole, Nate and Noah were making their way over.

"Ready to head out?"

I stood up when they nodded.

"Are we still going to the beach?"

Maddy nodded as she set her helmet on the bench and began to take off the rest of her gear.

"Yeah, after we drop off Nate and Noah"

Both twins began frowning.

"The birthday party you were invited to, remember?"

I raised an eyebrow, a party on a Monday?

"Oh right"

"Who has a birthday party on a Monday?" I wondered.

Maddy lightly shrugged before putting away her gear.

"I can carry it"

"I don't mind helping" I told her as I reached for the duffle bag.

Cole laughed.

"Maddy, let Cody be a good boyfriend"

She sighed and I reached for the bag.

"If he gets injured, it's his fault"

"I'm sure I won't get injured carrying a duffle bag" I informed her.

She looked down at her phone as I put my free arm around her shoulder. I gave her a gentle kiss on her forehead and watched as Nate and Noah walked ahead with Cole following.

"So my dad booked my flights"

I looked down at the screen of her phone to see that she had a flight to Phoenix for Sunday morning. My guess is that her flight scheduled Sunday afternoon to Miami was with her family. That was when I noticed something.

"You're going to Toronto after?" I asked.

"Yes, I got my visa approved so I have to go finish doing that"

I nodded.

"How long will you be gone?" I wondered.

"Two days"

Two days was not too long.

"I'd be back before you even get back from Chicago"

"So you're spending your birthday in Toronto?" I questioned.

"No"

That was when she lifted her phone a bit so I could see the date/time for her flight to Toronto...from Miami.

"Sunday, July 19" I read out loud.

I looked at her when I realized she would be in Miami for her..our birthday.

"My dad got me tickets to Friday and Saturday's game. I will be sitting with Mady, cheering for the Dodgers"

I smiled and kissed her cheek.

"You're the best" I told her.

She smiled.

"You're easy to please"
