Never Letting Go - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 10

After the award show we all met in the lobby before going to get into the car. Alli and Lilly both fell asleep. We stopped at some traffic lights and Cody placed his hand on my leg. I flinched at first but then left it. He struggled to hide the smile on his face yet the car was still silent. A beautiful kind of silence.

I slid my fingers between his and lifted his hand to my lips. Cody watched me kiss his hand and then looked back at the road. I placed our hands back in my lap. "You did good today." "Thank you." "Not everyday a girl walks away with all the awards they were nominated for as well as doing a performance like that." "You liked the performance?" "Very much." He nodded.

"So what did Dad mean earlier? Arrangements for tonight." "You and Lilly are sleeping at ours. I'm taking you both to school tomorrow as well." "How come?" "Your parents don't want you home alone all night." "Where will they be?" He gave me a blank look. "Work." I answered my own question.

Cody lifted our hands to his lips and kissed them. "You're never alone, no matter what. I'm always gonna be here. Even when you don't want me." He told me. "What?" "I know how you feel. They're hardly ever there but I'm here. I'm here to stay." I smiled at his words. "You're never gonna be able to get rid of me." "I want cake." I announced. Cody laughed.

"You're being serious? It's almost twelve." "I want cake." "We're making a detour." He said and flicked his indicator before turning left at the next turning. "Chocolate cake." I imagined it. Cody watched me with a smile.

We stopped in the parking lot of a Walmart. "Wait here." He instructed and out out of the car. "What are we stopped for?" Alli woke up. "Cody's getting cake." "Why?" "He's my bitch." "Whipped." "You know it." We both laughed. "I'm going back to sleep." She said and got comfortable again.

"Your cake, my lady." Cody handed me a bag with a box in it. "Why thank you." "Don't get it in my car. I will murder you." "I'll eat it when we get back." "If you get it in my bed you'll be in even more trouble." "Who says I'm sleeping in your bed?" "I do." He locked our fingers again and placed them back where they were.

Cody carried Lilly inside the house. Alli carried the dresses. I carried my cake. Problem? I went to Cody's room with my cake and two forks. "I thought you weren't sleeping in here?" He came into the room. "I'm undecided." "Fine by me." He shrugged and got undressed. Well he had underwear on.

"This is good." I mumbled with cake in my mouth. "Lemme taste?" "I got you a fork." I pointed. "You're actually sharing your food?" He acted shocked. "I'm feeling kind." We ate the whole cake and relaxed on the mattress.

"I've never been so full in my life." Cody said. "I think I'm gonna explode." "You've still got jeans on too." He realized. I unbuttoned them and kicked them off before taking off my shirt too. "Do you want one of my shirts?" "I'm okay." I cuddled up to him. Cody's hand brushed over the scars on my leg.

"Every inch of you is beautiful, did you know that? Not just your face or your body. The inside is beautiful too." "I wish others would realize that. It's like all guys notice is ass and boobs, the occasional guy will compliment my eyes but that's it." "You wanna know my absolute favorite two things about you?" "I do." "Your smile and your flaws."

"My flaws?" "Your imperfections. They make you perfect to me." I hid my face against his arm. "You wanna know my favorite thing about you?" I gently ran my nail up and down one of his v-lines. "Mhmm." "You. Everything about you. Your sense of self. But mostly the way you make me feel. You're the only guy who can get me in my underwear without saying a thing." I told him.

"And I feel comfortable about my body around you. I don't feel like your eyes are all over my body. They rarely are. And when they are, you have a reason for it. You're a gentleman and you respect girls. You're not one to dribble over a show of flesh and it makes me feel comfortable. When you get mad. It's scary but I know you'd never lay a finger on me. You'll never hurt me yet you can scold me in a way that makes me listen."
