About the Boy || Cody Bellinger

Twenty

Madeline's POV- July 2017

I watched as Cody walked away, leaving me and Auston alone.

"Well that was rude" I noted.

He had downright ignored Cody's handshake. Being the bigger person, I accepted his hug.

"What was rude?"

"You" I replied.

His hand that was on my back, slowly began to wander and I grabbed it before it reached my butt.

"And your wandering hand" I added.

I stepped back and crossed my arms.

"I was hoping we could talk"

I nodded.

"Of course, go on" I said.

He just looked at me before adjusting his bandana.

"So Willy let it slip that you would be at the beach. I thought you would be alone though"

"I came with Cody and his little brother" I informed him.

William was going to hear it from me.

"I have to admit, I'm surprised at how fast you moved on"

I smiled.

"There was nothing to move on from" I stated.

"So what we had was nothing?"

"What exactly did we have?" I asked.

I raised an eyebrow waiting for him to tell me what he thought we had.

"We never agreed to not see other people"

"I know, which is why I don't understand why you were a grade A douche when you learned I was talking with Cody. Tell me Auston, how many girls did you talk with during that time?" I wondered.

"Its different"

"Why's that? Cause you're a guy" I said.

He tried to speak up, but I continued.

"If it bothers you so much that we can't be more than friends, let's just not be anything at all" I reasoned.

He looked at me a bit surprised.

"What?"

"Let's just leave it at that, let's just not be friends. If you're going to act the way you're acting then let's not have anything to do with each other" I explained.

I don't think he expected this, and honestly neither did I. 

"You do realize you're going to live with two of my teammates. We will see each other, quite often"

I nodded.

"I know" I stated.

"I'm your best friend's little brother"

I knew that.

"When I tell Alex what happened today, who's side will she be on?" I questioned.

He stayed quiet for a few second before replying,

"Yours"

"You have a lot of growing up to do Auston. Till you do that, let's just not associate with each other" I suggested.

"If that's what you want"

He turned around and began walking away.

"It's not, but it's what you pushed it to be" I finished.
