Cody's POV- March 2018
Chris cleared his throat making me look away from the traffic, at him.
"Yeah?" I questioned.
He glanced at me for a second before turning his full attention on driving.
"I invited Desiree over"
"Cool" I noted.
"You don't mind?"
No, this was a pretty big deal actually. Chris was actually interested in a girl, a first I had seen.
"I don't mind" I replied.
It was late though.
"Is she spending the night?" I wondered.
I would not mind if she spent the night because it meant that Chris would be home. Yeah, I didn't like to be home alone. It's why I practically begged Chris to sign a lease with me.
"Yeah"
"Just don't be loud," I told him.
He chuckled and glanced at me.
"You're an idiot"
Desiree was waiting for us when we got to our place. Chris immediately greeted her with a kiss on the lips and a hug. As he opened the front door, she turned to look at me.
"Hi, Cody"
"Hey" I greeted.
To my surprise, she stepped forward for a hug.
"I was actually hoping to talk to you"
As I looked at Chris, she spoke up.
"I can assure you it has nothing to do with a threesome"
Fuck, looks like Chris tells her everything.
"I was joking" I defended.
She hummed.
"Sure you were"
"We can talk, just let me change," I told her.
I pointed at Chris.
"Behave" I warned.
He rolled his eyes and closed the door behind him.
"Go change"
I made my way to my room and swapped my jeans for a pair of basketball shorts. Desiree was waiting in the living room, whereas Chris was munching away in the kitchen.
"Come here and sit"
She patted the spot next to her, so I took a seat next to her.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I wondered.
She bit her lip before speaking,
"I'm just going to get straight to the point, okay?"
Before I could nod, she continued.
"Marisol is my cousin"
Wait, what? Actually...that made sense considering they shared the same fucking last name. Which meant one thing...her dad...and Marisol's dad...were siblings.
"I want you to start from the very beginning"
I sat up.
"Uh" was all I managed to say before the waterworks started.
I don't know why I cried, I was the idiot who fucked up what could be.
"Sorry," I told her as I wiped my face.
