Got Me Good (Sequel to All I Need is One)

These Days are the Worst

Cody’s POV

I came downstairs and looked around. No one was home. Weird. I thought Alli had the day off. She was here around four yesterday. I went to bed at five. Maybe she went shopping with Madison. Mum and dad had taken Tom to the water park.

There was a knock on the door. Oh great. The Queen has arrived. I opened the door and was greeted by my girlfriend.

“Hey, babe!” Taylor kissed me quickly before coming in. I closed the door behind her with a sigh. “Ready to go?”

“Almost. Let me go grab my wallet,” I told her and ran up the stairs to my room. I went into my room and searched for my wallet. I spotted it on my bedside table and picked it up. I opened it and I saw those blue eyes.

It was the picture of Kiara that I kept in my wallet. It was her school picture from years ago, the year we first started dating. Her blonde hair in her signature braid across the front and the rest down. I smiled and felt a pain in my chest.

I had hurt her so much over the past five years. I hated myself for what I did to her.

“Cody? Babe?” Taylor knocked on my door.

“Coming,” I said and walked toward the door. I ran a hand through my hair. I groaned and followed Taylor out the door.

She grabbed my hand, “So I was thinking that you should take me out tonight? Somewhere fancy?” She traced a finger down my chest as we walked to my car.

“Uhm, sure,” I said.

“Thanks, babes! You’re the best!” She smashed her lips on mine. 

I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. She pulled away and got in the car. She flipped down the mirror and fixed her makeup. I rolled my eyes and pulled out of the driveway. I drove us to Rodeo Drive and parked.

Taylor walked out of the car and across the street, without me. Typical. I hate this “relationship”.

I hated Taylor. I hated everything about her. Her brown hair. I loved Kiara’s blonde hair. Taylor’s high heels. I loved Kiara’s converse. Taylor’s makeup. I loved Kiara’s lack of makeup. I missed Kiara’s soft wavy hair and luscious lips. I missed her smell and her shortness. I missed her laugh and her smile.

I wasn’t happy without her, but she was happy without me. She had Alex, the model. She was most certainly better off with him.

I sighed and followed Taylor into Lacoste. “This one? Or this one?” She held up two similar looking dresses.

“I like...both of them?” I said.

“Cody! Oh my God! You are no help, what so ever! Ugh!” She stormed off toward the shoes. I groaned and stared at the ceiling. Remind me to kill my manager later.

If it wasn’t for my manager, I wouldn’t have been in that stupid movie. If it wasn’t for that stupid movie, I wouldn’t be “dating” Taylor. If I wasn’t for my “relationship, I would still be with Kiara.

I hated everything. I hated everyone. And everyone hated me. I deserved it.

Alli still hasn’t forgiven me for what I did to Kiara. She doesn’t trust me anymore. Tom still pouts at me. Mum and dad send me looks when Taylor comes over. I try to ignore these things, but they’re impossible to miss.

When I moved to L.A. to be a singer, there wasn’t anything in my contract about having to break your girlfriend’s heart and fake date an obnoxious actress.

“Codes!” Taylor said from the shoe section. I hated when she used Kiara’s nickname for me.

“Yes?” I walked over to her.

“Which pair?” She held up two pairs of heels. Oh God. I better get this right. “That one,” I pointed at the red ones.

“You are so smart! These are adorable! I love you!” She jumped into my arms and kissed me. She tugged at my hair and I hated it.

Every second I had to kiss Taylor, I thought of kissing Kiara. I would much rather be kissing Kiara right now.

Taylor pulled away and ruffled my hair. “Good boy,” She smirked and picked up her shoes.

“Let’s go!” She pulled me to the checkout. I swear this girl was bipolar.

“So where are you taking me tonight?” She asked. I put my hands in my pockets and shrugged. “I don’t know yet,”

“You don’t know?! Cody! You’re the one who asked me! You should know!”

Uhm, she was the one who wanted to go out tonight, not me.

“We’ll go to the Fudi Grill?” I suggested, not wanting to deal with a Taylor-diva meltdown. “Perfect!” She pecked my lips and took me to yet another store.

Only a few more hours, Codes, only a few more hours.
