About the Boy || Cody Bellinger

Twenty Three

Madeline's POV- July 2017

I quietly closed the bathroom door hoping I wouldn't wake Cody up. When I looked up, I was met by two pairs of eyes, neither were Cody's. 

"We got hungry, and we're out of waffles"

That made sense as to why my brothers were sitting on my bed. 

"No one answered when we knocked, so we came in"

I had been in the shower for the past 15 minutes.

"How long have you both been in here?" I wondered.

"Long enough to notice one of Cody's eyes is slightly open"

Noah glanced towards Cody's sleeping form.

"Should we close his eye for him?"

I know he meant good, but I couldn't help but smile at the thought of Cody being woken up to Noah touching his eye. The chances of Cody screaming were high, and as fun as that would be it would also be mean. No one should be punk'd on especially while they sleep.

"How about you two go change, and I'll meet you downstairs in twenty minutes" I suggested.

Nate frowned because he knew the order was directed at him.

"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"

"Well for one, you're not wearing any pants" I noted.

"Fine, the clock starts now"

And just like that, they both left the room. I made sure to lock the door before I climbed up on my bed. Cody was in fact asleep, and one of his eyes was slightly open as was his mouth. I smiled and reached for my phone. After taking a picture, I placed my hand on his shoulder and slightly shook him.

"Good morning" I greeted as he shifted on his back.

He hummed and took a deep breath.

"Morning"

He scrunched up his face as he stretched.

"Nate and Noah are hungry, so I'm going to make them something to eat. Do you want to get up and eat, or sleep instead?" I asked as he opened his eyes to look at me.

He yawned while sitting up.

"I'll get up and eat. I'm still trying to win your brothers over"

"You won Noah over already" I stated.

It was Nate who was being stubborn. Mom said it was because he was jealous of the attention I was giving Cody.

"I won your sisters over and I have nothing in common with them"

That was true.

"They just think you're pretty" I informed him.

"And I will gladly accept that, but Nathan hates me"

"I'll talk with him" I told him.

He shook his head.

"No, I will do this myself"

I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"He's just a jealous boy" I confessed.

"We can share though"

He leaned his head on my shoulder.

"What time is it?"

"11AM" I answered.

"Let's go eat Chinese food? I've been craving it since you snapped it at me"

I laughed as he pouted at me.
