Never Letting Go - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 18

A week went by and Alli and Lilly were due to land this morning with Jake due an hour later. I'm more than excited to see everyone. "You look fine!" Cody said in frustration as he paced back and forth. "I think I'm putting on weight." I slapped my thighs. "Stop talking nonsense." "But look!" I turned to face him. "You have a flipping thigh gap! What more do you want?" "To look like the models in the magazines." I looked back in the mirror.

"You can't photoshop real life people." Cody wrapped his arms around me. "You're gorgeous." He moved his hands from my waist and squeezed my thighs. "These leggings look nice on you." "Thank you." "Let's go pick up our bubba sisters." He kissed my cheek. I followed him to the car which was waiting outside the hotel.

"I can't wait to see Alli." I said as I looked out the window. "How come?" "I need to speak with her." "About what?" He grew interested. "Girl things." "Bleeding and stuff." He screwed up his face. I giggled at his reaction and shook my head. "Not that type of girl stuff." "What then?" "Just things." "Like..?" "Shh." I put my finger on his lips.

"Cody!" I heard a familiar voice scream. Both, Cody and I turned around to find Lilly running this way. "Alli!" I ran over to her and hugged her. "How was your flight?!" "It was good thanks." "She didn't annoy you?" "Nah, she slept for most of it and the other bit we just played some games." "Good." I smiled. "Hey!" Cody hugged Alli as we reached him and Lilly. "Let's go get Jake!" I cheered. "Hmm." Alli sighed and followed the three of us.

"What's wrong?" I walked beside her. "It's never going to be the same, is it?" She asked. "Look, Als. You won't know how it's going to be if you refuse to see him. When we get back to the hotel I suggest you guys talk out what happened." "I'm scared." "I know you are but Jake's a good guy. I'm sure he's got something to say for himself." "I hope you're right."

"You can put her down, Cody." I noticed Cody was struggling to carry Lilly. "It's fine." "She's not a baby anymore. She can walk." "Cody said it's fine!" She poked her tongue out at me. "Oi." Cody snapped his fingers. "Sorry." "Where is Jake's gate?" Alli asked. "Lauren?" Cody looked at me and waited for my answer.

"We said we'd meet him at baggage claim." I said. "Oh right." "But we can go get some food first because he's due in an hour." I said while checking my phone. "And that's why I keep her." Cody said to Alli. "Because she knows everything and you don't have to?" "Exactly." He nodded. "And she's hot." He whispered to Lil. "Excuse me?" I turned around. Lilly giggled at Cody.

"Oops." He grinned innocently. "You're lucky I love you." I laughed. "You take this.." Cody passed me Lilly. I put her on the floor. "I'll get us some food. You go find us a table." He said. Lilly sat on her trunkie which Cody was dragging along the floor. "Pull me!" "Do it yourself." I told her and went with Alli to find a table.

"Jake!" I ran to him and jumped into his arms. "Hey!" He hugged me tightly. "I missed you so much!" Jake placed me on the floor. "I missed you too." He kissed my forehead. "Alright, mate?" Cody came over and they did that bro hug thing. "How's it going?" "It's good." Jake said while looking at Alli. "Hey." He said quietly. "Hi." Alli reflected his volume.

"Why are you hiding?" Cody looked down at Lilly who was hiding behind Alli's legs. She shrugged and started sucking her thumb. Cody laughed and picked her up again. "You've met Jake before." "I have?" She asked. "She won't remember that." I shook my head. "When you were little you did." "I'm big now." "Yeah." Cody smiled at her. We waited to collect Jake's bag.

"Okay, let's get going." I suggested. I linked arms with Alli and walked ahead of the boys. "It's really awkward and he's only been here for like ten minutes." "Exactly. Ten minutes. Give it time, Als. Cody and I couldn't even talk to each other for two weeks." I pointed out. "But-" "No. There's no difference. We worked for what we have so you have to work for what you want." I dismissed.
