I awoke the next morning where I belonged.

In his arms.

I couldn't help but notice the way our hands were intertwined. It was as if the spaces in between our fingers were meant to fit into each other.

"Good morning, Angel."

I looked up to find Cody's eyes blinking slowly as he adjusted to the light. I reached up toward his face and pushed back a flawless curl that fell out of his perfectly messy hair.

Cody held onto my wrist and kissed it. He began leaving butterfly kisses on my arm as they trailed toward my face. I playfully tried to push him away, but he only held onto me tighter.

"Gross, you have morning breath." I teased, scrunching my nose in disgust.

Cody grinned at me. "If you find that gross, then you're going to find this absolutely disgusting."

He forcefully pushed his lips against mine. Unlike our romantic kiss from last night, this one had more passion and was a little edgy. Not that I'm complaining, though.

Our kiss quickly turned into a make out session. Cody and I had rolled over into a position that left me on top of him. My hands found their way to the back of his neck while he snaked his arms around my waist.

Cody licked my lower lip asking for an entrance, which I gradually accepted. Our tongues battled against each other as he pressed my body closer toward his. I let out a small moan, which he responded with a smug grin.

"You're so full of yourself, Simpson." I said in between our small breaks for air.

Cody's lips pursued down my neck as his hand rubbed up and down my back.

"But you like it, don't you?" He said in between heavy pants.

I let out a loud groan when he found my sweet spot, which he took to his full advantage. He bit down into my skin and nibbled on it. "I'm gonna take that as a yes."

"Sant--"

Cody and I quickly pulled away from each other as we stared at the door in shock. I let out a deep breath of air that I was holding in once I realized it was Alli.

She raised her eyebrow at us as she closed the door behind her. "If I didn't walk in on you guys just now, I could have been an aunt."

"Alli, we can expla--"

"That's okay, there's no need to. I don't know how many other girls Cody's gonna find that are just like you, so continue doing the dirty. Plus, I always wanted a little nephew." Alli gushed.

"I'm gonna show up to his Middle School wearing daisy dukes and two inch stilettos. All of his friends are gonna be like--dude, that's your aunt? She's so hot!" She continued. "But, I'm not gonna be young forever. The sooner, the better."

With that, she slammed the door shut. By now, I was blushing madly while Cody looked slightly embarrassed. He turned to look at me with a smirk on his face.

"You heard what she said, the sooner the better," he rolled over toward me but I quickly pushed him away.

"That's okay, a hot shower sounds a lot better." I grinned, climbing out of the messed up bed.

"A hot shower, aye?" Cody began, "it sounds like a regular shower, except with me in it."

"Can you guys bring out the pack of Popsicle sticks in the freezer I brought?" Christian called from the screen-door.

I walked toward the refrigerator and opened the freezer, scanning it for the Popsicle sticks. "I know what's for dinner tonight," I beamed, eyeing the packaged meal in the freezer.

"I don't think you're gonna make it in time for dinner tonight." Alli frowned, crossing her arms and leaning against the counter.

I took out the brightly colored box of Popsicle sticks and closed the freezer door behind me. "Simpson say what?" I asked, raising my left eyebrow.

"Since Cody's takin-- you don't know, do you?"

"It depends," I played along. "I probably know as much as you do."

Alli grinned. "Oh no, you're not gonna get it out of me this time. My mouth is staying shut." She pretended to zip her mouth close and throw away the key.

"Please, Alli." I begged. "Are you really gonna make me beg?"

Alli simply shrugged her shoulders. I sighed and walked toward her, dropping down onto my knees. "Please, Alli, please!" I cried, wrapping my arms around her leg.

Alli didn't even look in my direction. "Fine." I huffed. "You leave me with no other choice. I guess I'll just have to use my secret weapon." I stood up from where I was positioned and faced Alli.

I began pouting my lower lip. "You can't resist, Alli." I whimpered in my best baby voice. "You know my puppy dog face always makes you crack."

Alli's eyes widened as she frowned. Her knees began to shake as if she were going to crack any minute. I could get whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted with my puppy face.

"Alright, fine, bu--"

Alli's sentence was cut off shortly by Christian. "You two better be getting the Popsicles or making us sammiches." Christian teased, popping his head into the doorway.

Alli grabbed the Popsicle box and locked her elbow with mine. "We're on our way out." She called out.

"This conversation isn't over." I warned, pointedly narrowing my eyes at her.

As we reached the doorway, I stopped dead in my tracks. "I can't go out there!" I whispered.

Alli shot me a confused look. "Why not?"

"Greyson is out there," I reminded her. "I don't know what he'll say after what happened yesterday."

Alli had a guilty expression on her face. "Yeah, about that. . ." Her voice trailed off as she nervously bit her lower lip. "I have some explaining to do."

"That's great, you can explain while we're passing out Popsicles." I sarcastically replied.

Alli nodded slowly before opening the screen door and revealing a beautiful, clear day out in front of us. "We kind of planned out everything that happened yesterday." She said, loud enough for all three of the boys to hear.

"Who's we?" I cautiously said.

"Me, Greyson and Christian. I hated seeing you and Cody mad with each other, so I planned out something to make you guys admit your true feelings for each other." She explained.

"And then," Christian continued, "Alli let us in on the plan and Greyson and I went along with it."

"And after what I heard happened this morning," Greyson grinned, "I think our plan turned out pretty good."

The three of them gave each other a high five, leaving a very puzzled looking Cody and I.

"Please don't be mad -- they forced me!" Alli screeched.

He was first to speak up. "Thank you."

"Huh?" Alli said.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have been able to do this."

Cody pulled me into his chest by my arm as he pressed his lips once more against mine.

I could definitely get used to this.

"Oh, well, you're welcome." Alli smirked. "It was totally my idea."

- - -

"I wish you could stay longer, man." Cody sighed, patting Christian on the back.

I gave Christian a sympathetic smile. "We all do. If it wasn't for Cody's parents not knowing you're here right now, then maybe you could have."

Christian smiled. "Yeah, you're right. When you guys come back to L.A, we should all hang out." He suggested.

Cody and I nodded. "Sounds cool. Are you thinking of any specific days? I need to know if I'm free or not." I said.

Cody raised his eyebrow at me. "What do you have planned next month, miss thang?"

"You already know, silly." I teased.

Cody had a blank expression on his face. "No, I don't think I do."

"Then maybe you just need a reminder. Since you love me so much, you cleared up half of your schedule next month to take me out shopping everyday you aren't busy." I cheekily replied, hitting his chest playfully.

Cody smiled. "You're so cute when you think you're right."

I stuck my tongue out at him. "No, I'm cute all of the time."

Cody came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist as he rested his chin on my forehead. Christian gushed at the sign of us.

"You two remind me a lot about me and Alli." He adored.

"Gross, dude, that's my baby sister." Cody pretended to act disgusted.

I grinned at him. "You see? You do love Alli."

"Eh." He shrugged nonchalantly. "I kind of have to, we're family."

"Speaking of Alli," Christian mumbled, "where is she?"

I bit my lower lip at him. Alli was the kind of person who got emotional during things and probably couldn't bare the pain of saying goodbye to Christian.

I knew he wanted to see her before he left, and I wasn't going to be the one to break the news to him. "Maybe she's in the bathroom." I suggested.

"C'mon, man. We gotta go!" Greyson yelled from the bottom of the stairs.

"I have to go," Christian muttered, "our flight leaves in an hour."

Cody and I followed Christian into the guest bedroom where his luggage was. "When you see Alli, give her a big hug for me and tell her you love her."

"Gotcha." I said. "When I see Alli, I'll give her a hug and tell her I love her." I playfully added.

This cracked a smile out of Christian's face. He grabbed onto the handle of his suitcase and began wheeling it toward the exit. He stopped in his tracks and dropped the rolling suitcase which fell with a loud thud.

"That's strange," Christian murmured, "My luggage feels a lot heavier than it did yesterday morning."

The suitcase unzipped by itself revealing a tired looking Alli. "Are you calling me fat?" She tried to say in her best upset voice.

Christian's smile looked as if it were contagious. "Alli!" He shrieked, practically throwing himself on top of her.

Alli smiled and nuzzled her head into his neck. "Please don't go."
