Marisol's POV- October 2018
"What do you mean no one knows where Cody is? How can a grown man who is 6'4 disapear on somone?"
I mean, dad was right.
"Just give him some time, he'll come around when he's ready"
Bugs quickly bolted off the couch and started barking up a storm as he ran towards the front door.
"Looks like he's ready"
I stood up as the doorbell rang, and went to open the front door. Once I reset the alarm system, I opened the door. Cody stood on the other side, and his eyes were bloodshot red.
"Hey"
He still had smeared eye black grease under his eyes, which led me to believe he had not showered.
"Can I come in?"
I stepped back and closed the door once he was inside.
"My phone died, can you tell you let Ashli know I'm okay?"
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and sent his sister a text telling her Cody's phone was dead but he had just shown up.
"Did you not shower?" I asked.
He smiled.
"Glad your sense of smell is back"
I mean, he did not smell bad but he did smell like sweat and dirt.
"Do I not get a proper hug?"
"Of course you do" I replied.
I stepped forward and hugged his waist. As he wrapped his arms around my top half, he kissed my forehead.
"Today was shitty"
He gave me one final squeeze before letting me go.
"I should shower"
I smiled up at him.
"You said it," I said.
He chuckled.
"Do I have any clothes here, or do I have to go to my car to get my duffle bag?"
"You have clothes here" I confirmed.
"I'm going to go on up"
"I can heat you up some spaghetti while you shower?" I asked.
He smiled.
"You know I can never say no to your pasta"
I laughed and accepted the kiss he had leaned down for.
"Well go on up, I'll be right up in a bit," I told him.
He gave me another kiss before making his way upstairs. As I heated up his food, my phone started ringing.
"Hey, Ashli" I greeted once I answered the call.
"Hey, how's Cody?"
"He's upstairs showering" I replied.
"I know I shouldn't be asking you this since you're recovering from Pneumonia, but take care of him yeah?"
"Of course" I answered.
"I'll check up tomorrow"
"Why don't you and your parents come over for breakfast?" I suggested.
Even I was surprised to hear that come out of my mouth, but I guess anything to make Cody feel better.
"You don't need to do that, Mari"
"I don't mind" I assured her.
"Okay, should we bring anything?"
