Cody's POV- August 2017

I chuckled as I was pulled down and into a embrace.

"Cody, this is Alexandria. Alex, this is Cody"

"It's nice to finally meet you" I said as Maddy's best friend, Alexandria let go of me.

I stood up straight and smiled at her.

"You too! Maddy has told me so much about you"

"All good I hope" I replied.

Manuel stood up as I looked at him.

"All things are good?"

"They're great" I answered.

He gave me a one arm hug, and patted my back.

"That's good news, now let's eat"

I turned to look at Maddy who was hugging Alexandria. 

"He's even more handsome in person"

Maddy nodded before letting her go to hug Manuel. 

"Long night?"

She smacked his arm as he wiggled his eyebrows at her. I'm pretty sure it stung, but he just laughed at her.

"Did you two order anything?"

Both Manuel and Alexandria shook their heads.

"How was dinner last night?"

I took a seat next to Maddy and turned to look at her as I reach for the menu.

"It was nice, we had steak"

"And pasta" I added.

Maddy nodded as she looked down at the menu.

"Do you want to go halves on crepes?"

"Sounds good" I answered.

"You two are disgusting"

I laughed and looked at Manuel.

"We've done nothing" I pointed out.

"I didn't think it would happen, at least not this soon"

Alexandria nodded agreeing with Manuel.

"What?" I wondered.

"Maddy falling for someone"

I smiled a bit.

"I'm a lucky guy" I admitted.

"Don't screw it up"

Manuel shook his head as he looked at Alexandria.

"He won't"

I nodded agreeing. There was no way I was messing this up.

"So when Maddy goes to Toronto for school, you're doing long distance?"

We talked about this last night.

"Yeah" I replied.

Maddy and I agreed that when she left to Toronto for school we would continue being a couple. 

"That's so nice to hear"

I looked at Maddy who looked up from the menu she was holding.

"Banana, Nutella or Strawberries, Creme cheese?"

"Strawberries and Creme cheese" I told her.

She nodded.

"Did you two order already?" I wondered.
