Never Letting Go - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 11

"Lunch for my girl." Cody placed a plate in front of me. When we got home he finally gave in and made me lunch. We were sat outside at the table on the decking. "Chicken!" I cheered and shoved some in my mouth. Chicken salad with dressing.

"You like it?" He watched me eat. I nodded. Cody was on his phone while I ate my lunch. "Aren't you eating?" "I had some while I made that." "Right." I took another mouthful. "Who are you texting?" "Work." "You're texting work?" "Yup." "Who?" "I'm organising something." He stayed vague. "What are you organising?" "Work." He looked up and smiled. I rolled my eyes.

"You're not gonna tell me, no?" "Why should I?" "Beca-" "You're not my girlfriend so why do I have to mention every detail of my life to you?" He got up and went inside. "Where did that come from?" I asked myself but then carried on eating. Once I was finished I took my dish into the kitchen and left it in the sink before going to Cody's room.

"Cody, what wa-" "Get out!" "I didn't know you were getting changed!" I defended and went back downstairs. Cody came down after a few minutes. "I've gotta go do some things, where do you want me to drop you off?" "I guess I'll go back to school." I sighed at got up. "Who are you doing things with?" "No one." "I'm not stupid." I pointed out. "Just get in the car." He instructed.

"I hate it when you're private like this." I watched him while he watched the road. "I guess you'll have to live with it." "But why aren't you telling me?" "Why should I?" "I thought we were getting somewhere, Cody." "So did I." "Well why are you hiding this from me?" "Because you don't need to know." "Are you meeting a girl?" "Lauren!" He scolded and shot me a glare. I watched the road out the window.

The rest of the car journey was silent. I wouldn't call it awkward, more like full of tension. Extremely uncomfortable. Cody pulled up in his usual spot and waited for me to get out. I didn't say a word to him, he didn't seem like he wanted me to speak. I walked into the school and past the front desk.

"Miller?" "What?!" I snapped. "Where have you been all morning?" "Not here." I stated and went through the doors into the hall. "Hey." I smiled at Marcus who was talking to my old friend, Abby. "You want to talk to me now?" He looked me up and down. "I'm sorry for what I said." He looked back at Abby. "He doesn't want to know, Lauren. Go tell your boyfriend that you're sorry." She spat at me.

"Excuse me?" I raised my eyebrows and put my hands on my hips. "He doesn't like you." "Are you sure?" Marcus spoke up. "You said you were annoyed with her?" She looked at me. "Yeah well I still like her. Come on." He took my hand and pulled me away. "By the way, her, not a good choice." I said.

"What makes you so sure?" "I was friends with her before I started dating Cody. She kind of changed." "I got on the football team!" Marcus told me. "Exciting." I smiled. "How come you came back?" "I think I owe you an apology." "Hmm." He rubbed his chin and pulled me into an empty classroom.

"Tell me how sorry you are then." He sat me on the desk and stood between my legs. "I shouldn't of said what I said. I was tired and you and Cody annoyed me with your little stare out competition and he was already getting to my head. Then I guess I just snapped at you." "I accept your apology but you better be careful." He rubbed my cheek with his thumb the way Cody does.

"Why's that?" "I might not take it so easy next time." His eyes flicked from my eyes to my lips. "So are you guys a thing again or what?" "We haven't put a thing on it." "Would he mind if you were here with me?" "He doesn't need to know, he annoyed me and then he brought me back here." I watched his eyes as they watched my lips moving.

"Well I guess what he doesn't know won't hurt him." He smiled and pressed his lips against mine. I hesitated at first but then kissed back. He pulled my body closer to his and then cupped my face. I pulled away. "I think we better get to class." "I think we should stay here." "Come on." I took his hand and lead him through the school.
