I Found Him On My Doorstep <3

Almost

Once I had finished conversing with my mum ny stomach rumbled so I went to go get some food. I walked out into the kitchen to see Cody and Alli cooking.

“What’s going on here?” I asked. I sat up on the bench beside the stove were Cody was frying some bacon. All he was wearing was his underwear and an apron. This boy is trying to kill me.

“We decided to make breakfast. Problem?” He looked up at me and smirked.

“Uhh Yeah. You shouldn’t be cooking with a cast on your arm.” I said concerned that he’d burn it off or something.

“Will you chill I’m fine. My arm is fine. The cast is basically indestructible. Trust me I’ve tried” He moaned

“Just remember I like my food well done.” I sighed.

“Well you’ve really got no choice. Every thing will be ‘well done’” He laughed along with me. I looked over at Alli who was making pancake mix. She was quiet.

“What’s up chick?” I asked her.

“Me? Oh nothing, I feel better.” She murmured. I knew that she didn’t though, it would eat her up more and more but I guess it’s something she has to get over herself. No matter how much Cody and I console her it won’t help. She poured some pancake mix into the pan and it began sizzling. I jumped down from the bench and set the table for all of us and got us all drinks.

I walked back out to the kitchen from the dinning room to see that they had set out all the food on plates. It looked so good. There was bacon, sausages, pancakes and fried eggs.

“Ohhh Cody I didn’t know you could cook so well.” I teased.  He blushed and set the food on the table. “MUM! ADAM!”

They came into the kitchen murmuring about the nice smell and moved into the dinning room to eat their breakfast. Once we had all began to eat my mum brought up Marisa Payne’s family again.

“Hey Cody, I’ve got some extended family coming to stay with us tonight and tomorrow night. I hope you don’t mind...” she asked although it wasn’t really a question more like I’m telling you this and you better be okay with it. Wait tonight?

“I thought you said it was tomorrow night?” I said accusingly.

“Yeah well there was a mix up and they are staying tonight and tomorrow night.” She said looking at me. “Which means you’re going to have to clean your room after this if she is for staying in there. You too.” She pointed at Cody. “I don’t want to give them an excuse to talk about us.”

My mum is starting to treat Cody like he’s not the guest anymore which is kind of rude if you ask me. She worries too much about what other people think of her. I got up from the table and put my now empty plate on the table. Cody and Alli followed me into my room after leaving their plates down. I looked around my room. It had gotten quite messy but I haven’t had the energy to clean it up after everything that has happened this week. I started picking up stuff while Alli and Cody flopped down on the bed. I threw a pillow at Cody.

“Hey, what was that for?” he shouted at me.

“This is your room too y’know” I hinted so that he would help me tidy.

“No it’s not, it doesn’t have my name on it.” He smirked quite proud that he got out of it. I walked over to my door and opened it to pull of the name tag that was on the other side. I threw it at him and stood with my hands on my hips with an amused expression. “Oh right, I don’t remember doing this...”

“That’s cause I did it. I kinda felt bad that it only said my name yet this wasn’t only my room anymore.” I explained.

“Aww that’s so cute” Alli piped up.

“Right you too” I ushered them off the bed “Help me please?”

“Sure” “Fine” they both said at the same time.

“THANK YOU!” I hugged them both.

It took us little under half an hour to get everything straightened out. Cody asked me about Marisa so that he would feel so awkward about sharing a room with her like it was with me on the first night. I told him that she was fourteen, she had long straight brown hair and blue eyes. She’s quite outgoing so it shouldn’t be any awkwardness. I don’t even know if that was true but I hoped that it was.

I walked out into the kitchen to get a drink and my mum was faffing about.

“Toni, go get dressed. Get Cody and Alli dressed too the Payne’s are coming even earlier.” She said puffed out. She was trying to get everything sorted out.

“How long till they get here?” I asked starting to panic. She’s got me doing it now.

“About an hour and a half. That should be enough time for all three of you to get showers and get dressed right?” she asked pleading for me to make it work.

“Sure I’ll make sure that we are fast” I said and went back into my room. “Cody shower now”

“What why?” he asked.

“We’ve got an hour and a half to get ready before the Payne’s get here so we all need to get ready. Shower now.” I demanded. He laughed at me and made his way to the bathroom. “Oh My God I could hit him sometimes”

“Preach it sister” She high fived me.  I sat down on the bed where Cody had been.

“Are you sure that you’re okay?” I asked her.

“Yeah I’m fine. It’ll take me a while to get over my own stupidity. I don’t think I’m going to forgive my mum very quickly for lying to me either.” She sighed.

“Don’t worry. If you ever want to stay here for a night or two just say and you can.” I calmed her.

“Thanks but I think I need to see why she did it first.” She said “She how she defends herself.”

Just as Alli finished what she was saying Cody walked through the door with nothing but a towel on.

“Seriously bro? You could have at least put underwear on...” she said. “My turn”

She got up and went to the bathroom. Cody lay down next to me while adjusting his towel.

“Oh no don’t do that on my account” I teased.

“Would you rather I took it off” he smirked at me. Just to tease me he started moving his towel slowly. I could almost see skin so I straddled of him so that she would stop. I don’t know if I could control myself if he went any further. He laughed at me and I blushed. I looked at him and he looked at me. I felt myself leaning in towards him uncontrollably. Closer and closer until my lips were inches from his. Was I really going to do this? I got even closer until there was barely any air between us.

“Okay Toni, Your turn” Alli barged into the room. “Oh was I interrupting something?”

“No Alli it’s fine” I reassured her although Cody let out an annoyed gasp. I got up off him and went to the bathroom and wondering what would have happened if Alli hadn’t have walked in.
