Marisol's POV- April 2018
I glanced away from the notes I had scattered throughout my bed, and at my phone that had chimed. Before I could even reach for it, my phone started ringing. Reaching over, I saw the call was from Cody.
"Hello" I greeted once I answered the call.
"Hey, did I wake you?"
"No, I'm actually looking over some class notes" I answered.
I liked to look through my notes to refresh my mind.
"Are you busy?"
I glanced at my alarm clock and saw it was almost 1 AM. That explains why my body was telling me to go to bed.
"I am not" I replied.
"Can I see you?"
"Sure, do you plan on spending the night?" I questioned.
Thankfully, one of my classes was canceled so instead of coming home I did my required hours that I normally did Thursday's today.
"Would your dad let me?"
"He's not home, so I'm sure he would not mind that I have company" I admitted.
"I can stay the night"
"Great, see you then," I told him.
I ended the call and groaned before looking at Bugs.
"I have to change" I complained.
Bugsy simply licked his nose and huffed. You see, the PJs I had on were pretty darn skimpy, and I was one who refused to wear a sports bra to bed. I changed into a pair of longer shorts and a loose fitting t-shirt.
"Fuck" I mumbled to myself.
I had forgotten to feed the strays, so I quickly rushed downstairs and outside where I was greeted by loud meows.
"I know, I'm sorry" I apologized to them.
It turns out Cody was a lot closer than I assumed he was because while I fed the kittens, he called me. Obviously, I did not answer the call because my phone was upstairs, but when I got to my room I noticed I had several missed calls from him. Just as I was about to call him back, my phone started ringing.
"Hey, sorry I left my phone in my room," I told him.
"It's alright, I was just calling you because I don't know where to park"
Makes sense, tomorrow was street sweeping and trash pick-up day on our side of the street.
"I'll be right out," I said.
"Okay, see you then"
"Bye" I replied before ending the call.
Once I was downstairs, I disabled the alarm system and grabbed my car keys before making my way out. Cody got out of his car as I approached the gate.
"Hey"
"Hi" I greeted.
Before I could open the gate, Bugs began to bark.
"Boy, come here" I called out.
Bugs made his way to me while barking at Cody. once he was close, I picked him up.
"I'm going to put my car in the garage, and you're going to park your car where my car was" I instructed.
Cody nodded and watched as I got into my car. After I set Bugs down, I opened both the garage and front gate with a push of 2 buttons. After I pulled my car into the garage, I stayed in the car until Cody was parked inside. Once he shut off his headlights, I closed the gate and opened the door when I heard the gate 'lock'. Bugs bolted out of the car to bark at Cody, whereas I took my time to get out. Cody was pulling out a duffle bag out of his car when I approached him.
