Wednesday came and we left for London. I spoke to Mom once I'd calmed down and then we talked it out. Dad spoke to me about everything too and now everything's okay. Trey already knew about it which annoyed me but I let it pass.

"It's so cold here." I said while pulling Cody's hoodie over my head. "Cody, pull me!" Lilly gave him the handle to her Trunkie and sat on it. "Hold on!" He said and started pulling her around the parking lot. Mom and I laughed at them. "When is Auntie Julie gonna get here?" I moaned. "She's supposed to be here now." Mom checked her phone.

"Ring her." I said. Mom rolled her eyes and pressed on Auntie Julie's number. I sat down on the edge of the curb and watched Cody and Lilly playing. "She's just around the corner." Mom told me. "Is she alone?" "Yes." "Good." I smiled and stood up. The car pulled up in front of us and Mom went to hug Auntie Julie who was getting out of the car.

Cody came over and started packing the cases in the trunk. "Come here, superstar!" Auntie Julie came over and hugged me. I hugged her back. "And you must be the boyfriend?" She asked Cody. "That's me." He grinned and hugged her too. We all got into the car and she started to drive.

"Where am I sleeping?" Lilly asked Mom as we went into the house. "Ask your auntie." "Where am I sleeping, Auntie Julie?" "You will be sleeping in the guest room with your mom." "What about me?" I asked. "With Rhianna." "Wha-" "Lauren!" Mom stopped me before I could refuse.

"And Cody, you'll be sleeping on the couch. We don't want anything going on between the two of you, do we?" She winked. "Trust me, I will be down here in less than half an hour." I whispered to him which made him laugh. "You'll stay where you're put." Mom told me. I rolled my eyes and walked further into the house.

"Come up to Rhianna's room with me." I pulled Cody up the stairs. He carried my case for me. I went into the room to find it empty. "Where do I put this?" "Next to the couch." "Is that where you're sleeping?" "It pulls into a bed. So does the one downstairs but we'll both be sleeping down there." I kissed his lips.

"Where is Rhianna?" "I think she's out. I don't know." I said and left the room. Cody followed me. "Hey, Lauren!" My uncle Mark hugged me. I hugged him back. "Hey." I smiled. Him and Cody shook hands. "How are you?" "I'm doing good." I nodded with a smile. "Good." He smiled back.

"Do you know where Rhianna, George or Will are?" I asked. "George is in the living room and Will and Rhi are out." "Okay, thanks." I smiled and brought Cody through the house. "How old are the other two?" "Will's your age and George is four." I said and went into the living room. "Hi, Gee!" "Lon!" George ran to me. I picked him up and span him around.

"What's up, munchkin?" "I missed you." "I missed you too." I kissed his head. "Who's that?" He whispered in my ear while pointing to Cody. "That's Cody." I said. "Hey, mate." Cody waved. "Cody, play leggo with me." Lilly pulled him over and sat down. Cody sat down with her.

"She likes him, huh?" Auntie Julie asked me. "So much." I smiled at the pair of them. "Are you gonna play leggo with them?" I asked George. I set him on the floor and let him walk over there. He stared at Cody for a while and then came back. "What's up, man?" I laughed. "Come with me?" He asked quietly.

"Is Cody scaring you?" Mom laughed. George looked at her and smiled which made us laugh. "I'll come protect you from the big bad guy." I crawled over and sat next to Cody. George sat next to me. "Grrr." Cody teased. "Make a house." Lilly told Cody. "Why me?" "Because you have to." She got up and sat in his lap. "On this with the yellow bricks." She said.

"You find me some yellow bricks and I'll build you a house with them." "Okay." She jumped up and started sorting through everything. "I want a house." George said. "What color?" Cody asked him. Gee looked at me and then back to Cody. "What color?" I repeated the question. He stood up and whispered to me.
