"What are your plans for after school?" Cody asks and I sigh.

"I want to become a traveler. It's been a dream since I can remember... I love other cultures and traditions, learning amd experiencing new things from different places is really amazing and I want to tour aound the world and see it all." I say and he sighs.

"So you've got it all figured out." He says and I frown.

"Yeah, I guess... what about you?" I ask. Right now I'm laying on his bicep while gazing up to the sky. A few hours has passed and we made out a couple of times and we talked as well.

He placed a matress shaped as the cab of his truck and we just layed there, talking.

"Well, my father wants me to do something I have no interest in but I want to play football for a living." He says.

"Why does he do that?" I ask.

"He always had this dream of me becoming a big shot in law but I really don't want to do that for the rest of my life." He says and I sigh.

"Can't your mother help you?" I ask.

"She tried to talk to him but be is stubborn." He sighed.

"That is tough." I say and look him in the eyes." He gives me a sad smile and I sigh.

"Yeah but I'll figure it out soon enough, I have applied to some of the collages near but I still I want to do my own thing. The scout will be at the game against St. Peters High School so I have to be at my best." He says and I nod my head.

"Looks like you have the begining settled?" I say and he nods his head.

"Yeah, where do you want to go?" He asks.

"I'm going to travel after school for about three years before going to university." I say and he nods his head.

"I wish I can go travel. It has always been an idea in the back of my mind but I never actually considered it." He says.

"Why don't you take a year off and travel with me?" I ask and he shrugs.

"Sounds fun but I don't think it'll happen." He sighs

"Yeah... But I just want to say follow your dreams. It won't let you get lost... At least I hope not." I breathe out. I don't know what the future will hold and I can't get my hopes up for something that isn't going to happen. His phone rings and he grunts while pulling it out.

"Yeah... I'm busy... Why... It isn't that late... Don't start again... Whatever." I hear the one sided conversation and frown.

"Everything okay?" I ask and he runs a hand through his hair.

"No, I have to get home." He says and I get up. He follows and we get into the truck and he drives back to the town. I fell asleep along the drive and when he stops at my house he climbs out and opens my door.

"Come on Miss spy." He picks my up bridal style. I'm half awake and half asleep but he walks to the door and he grunts.

I wrap my arms around his neck and hug him.

"Thank you for today." I say and he hugs me back, letting go of my legs and wrapping it around my waist.

"Thank you Miss spy, you made the day more fun than any game ever was." He says and buries his head in my neck.

I let go and he smiles as I go in and he walks to his truck.

I stay by the door and wait till he drives away.

I close the door and walk to the living room and see Alex laying on the couch.

"Don't you have a life?" I ask and fall so that my head lays on his lap and my body on the couch.

"I do have a life! Just not tonight... tommorow I'm going to go play paint ball with the boys." He says and I chuckle.

"Nice." I say and close my eyes.

"Yeah." He says back and claps his hands together.

"Let's do something." He says and I look at him questionably.

"What?" I ask.

"Go see a movie?" He offers and I nod my head.

"Yeah... let me go get ready." I say and get up.

"I'm only waiting twenty minutes." He says and gets up too.

I went up, took a quick shower and did my hair in a normal loose style and applied a little make up, I'm wearing a pair of washed out jeans and a black top with converse sneakers.

We drove to the cinema in the town and we got some snacks and watched the movie. Afterwards we went and got some take out.

We ate it at the house while sitting in the living room while watching some cartoons.

"Oh, congrats on the win Alex." I say and he smiles.

"Thanks." He says and I smile and return to watch the cartoon.

"Did you enjoy your day?" He asks and I nod my head.

"Yeah, I had fun today." I say and he smirks.

"Why is that?" He asks.

"Because it was warm, I watched the game and had Cody as company." I say.

"Is that so?" He says.

"Yeah... why do you ask?" I ask.

"Just curious." He says and a few minutes of silence follows.

He is going to ask-

"Soo... do you like him?"

"I knew it!" I shout and glare at him.

"Answer the question Sil." He groans.

"I guess I do Alex." I say and feel my cheeks heat up.

"Awww! My Sil has a crush on Cody!" He talks like he is talking with a puppy and I groan.

"Whatever!" I stand up and walk past him.

"Does he know?!" He yells after me while I walk up the stairs.

"No!" I reply.

"Are you going to tell him?!" He asks.

"What? No!" I say.

"Why not?" He asks.

"Good night Peter." I say and step into my bedroom but keep my door just slightly open so I can see him.

"Tell me why not!" He yells.

"Night." I smile and he crosses his arms while I close the door slowly and get ready for bed.

While in my bed I lay down and sigh, today was really the best day in a long time.
