Never Letting Go - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 9

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8." Nick counted us in. We're doing our final rehearsal today. The show is tomorrow, on a Sunday before school. Ugh. But anyways! "Yay!" Lilly jumped up and started clapping as I finished the last line of the song. "That's my sister." She told Cody smugly. "I know." He laughed and looked at me. I laughed too.

"Are you sure we're ready?" I looked at Nick. "It's perfect. Settle your nerves and it'll run smoothly." He replied. "One more time? Do we have time for that?" "One more time!" Nick announced. The dancers and I got in our places and Nick started to backing track.

"How many awards are you nominated for tonight?" Cody asked on the drive back. "Three. Best new comer, female hottie and favorite couple." "What are we gonna do if we win that?" "I don't know." I laughed. We were nominated for the 'favorite couple' and obviously we'd broken up since the nominations were made.

"We'll just own it." I looked at him. "Cody, I'm coming tomorrow!" Lilly said from the back seat. "I know, are you excited?" "Yes! I get to go on the carpet." She beamed. "Have you got a beautiful outfit to match your beautifulness?" "Of course I do." I laughed at her reaction.

"What are you wearing?" "A black dress." "Little black dress? Hmm." He rubbed his chin. "It's long." "Oh." "You can see it though." "Okay." "What color are you wearing?" "Black jeans and a black blazer." "Chest out like "hey look, I'm a hunk!"" I teased. "No, a white shirt too." He laughed at me.

"Lilly's wearing blue." "So is Alli." "We're all gonna match." "Made for each other." He cheesed. I could see Lilly in the mirror, watching us with a huge smile. When we got back we all went inside. "Come upstairs, I'll show you." I pulled Cody's hand.

"Oooh." Dad winked at Cody. Cody laughed and then followed me. "This is it." I opened my closet and went in. The dress was hung up. It's the dress that Selena Gomez wore to the Billboard Awards in 2011. "It's pretty." "Thank you." "What makeup?" "Natural." "I like red lips." "That's nice." "Please?" "No." I walked into my room.

"Why not?" "I'm not your doll to dress up however you want." "You're my doll to undress whenever I want." He pulled me close. "I'm not that either." "If we win tonight, you have to give me a little kiss." "Oh really? Who says that?" "I do. On the lips." He touched my lips and then kissed his finger.

"I told you. Don't rush me." "I'm not rushing you, I'm asking for just a little kiss." He shrugged. "If it's so little go ask the girl you used to get over me to kiss you." I removed his arms from my waist and sat on my window seat.

"I knew it wasn't long until you used that against me." He turned around and looked at me. "I was being honest with you. Would you rather me lie and tell you that you're the only girl I've been with? No because then you'll get mad when you find out the truth. I can't win with you, can I?" "I was joking." I laughed and opened my laptop.

"Cody? Are you staring for lunch, honey?" Mom came into the room with my clean clothes. "Uh-" He looked at me. "It's your stomach, not mine." "Yes, please." He smiled at Mom. She smiled too and left.

"If we win, you get a kiss but if we lose? You're taking me to that Italian restaurant for dinner." "So if we lose I get a date?" "It's not a date. It's Lauren being hungry and Cody paying for her food." "It's a date." He mumbled. "On dates you have a chance of getting some. You don't." "The media don't agree." "I'm not the media." I dismissed.

"Lunch!" Mum called before Cody could speak. "Come on." I got up and ran downstairs. "So what time are you going to the venue tomorrow, Cody?" Dad asked. "He's taking Lilly and I." I proposed. "Is he?" "Yeah, is he?" Cody looked at me in confusion. "Mhmm." I nodded and ate some fries.

"That's news to me." "If you want your prize, you're gonna have to." I shrugged. "You're trouble, you are." "What prize?" Dad asked. "You gonna tell him, Codes?" "Don't worry." He shook his head.
