Never Letting Go - Cody Simpson Fanfic

Chapter 33

"We weren't doing what you think." Cody spoke after what felt like forever of silence and staring. "What do I think and what were you doing?" Dad raised his eyebrows. Cody looked at me and then back to my dad. "Lauren, can you get dressed please? We have a house to visit." "Mhmm." I got up and went into the bathroom.

"Okay, I think he hates me me." Cody said as he watched me get ready. "I think he was just shocked." I shook my head. "I'm not convinced." He picked up his phone. "Aren't you gonna get dressed?" "In a bit." "Can I see you after?" "If Daddy lets you." He smirked at me. "Oh would you quit it?" I rolled my eyes.

"Walk me downstairs?" I held out my hand. "Because you don't know the way." He laughed and got up. We walked downstairs together and went into the kitchen where everyone was stood, talking with each other. The second we entered the room, everyone's attention turned to us. I looked up at Cody, who was already looking at me, and then back to the others.

"Ummm.." I looked around. "Let's go!" Dad finally spoke. I followed him to the front door. "Call me later, okay?" "Mhmm. I'll see you in a few hours." I kissed his lips. "Love you." "I lov-" "Lauren!" Dad interrupted me. "Just go." Cody laughed and held the door open for me. I went out and got into the car with Dad.

"What did he do?" I asked after a few minutes of tension. "Nothing." Dad spoke sharply. "Father," I urged. "I don't mind knowing it but seeing it makes me angry." "Seeing what?" "There's only so much cool you can expect a father to have when it comes to his daughter dating an older guy who is also a celebrity." He kept his sharp tone. "We were just playi-" "Lauren, I'm not discussing it any further." He dismissed.

I sighed and sunk into my chair. "Your mother wants to take you to London when you get back from New York." "Why?" "To see your family." "My family? They're yours too." "Not anymore." "Dad, please don't say that." I looked at him. He looked over at me and then back to the road. "I'm sorry, sweetie." He squeezed my knee.

"Wow!" I gasped as I took a step into the house. It was a lot bigger than Mom's house. The hall had an arch which lead to a big living room, there was a door leading to a basement in there. On the other side of the hall was a kitchen which had an arch, leading to a dining room. In the dining room was a double glass door which slides open.

Outside there was a big pool with a small pool attached. There was a tree at the bottom of the yard and a small children's play area in the corner. Upstairs was six bedrooms. Three of them had bathrooms attached as well as balconies. A main bathroom was up there too.

It took a half hour to look around the whole house. I took another look around and took pictures while Dad spoke to the realtor. I sent the pictures to Cody, Alli and Trey to get their opinions and just to show them.

"Lauren!" Dad shouted me after a while. I came downstairs and stood by his side. "Thank you for showing us around." I thanked. "It's my pleasure." He smiled at me. I smiled back and looked at Dad. "Can you drop me off at Mom's on the way home?" I asked while getting into the car. "Sure." He nodded.

When I got home I was greeted by Lilly. "Hey!" I picked her up and span her in circles. "I missed you." She said and kissed my lips. I smiled and kissed her cheek. "I missed you too." I placed her on the floor and walked further into the house. "Hi, Ang." I greeted as I went out the back door. "Hey." She smiled. "Hey, Mom." I smiled and sat down at the table with them.

"When are we going to London?" I asked. "I wanted to talk to you about that. How did you find out?" "Dad told me. We just got back from a house viewing." "That man." Mom mumbled under her breath. I looked at her confused. "What did he do?" "He wasn't supposed to tell you." "Why not?" I questioned.

"I know you and Rhianna don't get along and I wanted to tell you before you rebelled." "Can Cody come?" I asked which made Angie laugh. "The famous question." She chuckled to herself. "Huh?" I looked at her. "Can Lauren come?" She mocked Cody's voice which made me laugh.
