Cody's POV:
I had never been nervous when it comes to girls but Elizabeth is something else. I literally had to rehearse before asking her out. And the courage that took!
I really like her. And I think she likes me too but I'm not so sure. I guess I'll have to ask her myself. Wearing some shorts and a white tee, I head over to pick Elizabeth up from a... penthouse? I knock on the door and a beautiful girl opens it.
“Angeline.” She says shaking my hand. “Nice to meet you.”
“It's very nice to meet you Angeline. I guess you already know who I am.”
She smiles and gestures for me to come in.
“Beth isn't done yet so you can wait in the living room.” she says leading me further into the house.
I take a seat on the couch and she sits across me.
I look around the house. Whoever owns it must be rich. It's well furnished with antiques and paintings and beautiful-
“What's your deal Cody?” Angeline asks all of a sudden.
I'm a little taken aback by the question.
“Excuse me? ”is all I manage to say.
“What's your deal with Elizabeth?”
“Well...”I chuckle nervously, “I think, no , I have feelings for her.”
“Really?” she asks beaming.
“Really. But don't tell her that. I'm planning to tell her myself.”
She just nods and changes the topic.
About ten minutes later, Elizabeth finally comes downstairs looking as pretty as ever in a long white boho dress. With no make up, her freckles were showing and she looked cute if anything.
“Shall we?” I ask getting up.
She just nods and walks out. We drive to the beach and we talk about her family along the way. When we get there we head over to the restaurant I rented out. We also make sure to go in one at a time.
Our food is already laid out on the table when we get inside as per my request. We mostly talk and eat a little. Lizzy turns out to be very funny and a joy to be around.
“So, I had no idea you are the CEO and founder of Sapphire jewels. You make the most gorgeous jewelry.” she says with a beautiful smile.
“Well why not bring joy to the world by supplying beautiful jewelry to the women of this world?” I grin.
After lunch we walk along the beach and talk some more.
Elizabeth's POV:
My date with Cody goes much better than I thought it would. I enjoy myself immersely and find myself opening up to him. Telling him about my family, my childhood and my dreams for the future. I finally ask him the question that's been driving me nuts.
“What's your relationship with Britney Grace?” I ask without giving a thought.
He smiles and laughs a little.
“She's my best friend.”
“Nothing else? I mean it's fine if you guys are...you know. I'm just asking."
Now I sound like an i***t.
“There's nothing else. I wouldn't be on a date with another girl if there was anything now would I?”
I look at the ground, embarrassed.
“But that trip to Alaska...”
Cody stops walking and turns to face me.
“Britney and a couple of friends of mine organized that trip to cheer me up. Because I wasn't myself. And you know why?”
I shake my head.
“Because of you Lizzy.” he says sincerely. “Because I felt all these things every time I saw you. Because I have feelings for you.”
I gawk at him, not knowing what to say or do. He moves closer and leans in. Then he kisses me passionately for about a minute but stops to check on me. I'm all red and flustered at this point. How do I tell him that I didn't want him to stop? Without thinking, I kiss him, and he's a little surprised at first but he wraps his arms around my waist pulls me closer to him. It's almost like I lost control of myself and my body had a mind of it's own. Finally, I break away from him. We both breathe heavily and just stare at each other. I smile weakly at him and he smiles back.
We go back to the car and he drops me back home. We don't really talk for the whole ride. Each lost in our thoughts. When he leaves, I rush inside to find Angeline. She's in her room. She beams when she notices me.
“I kissed him. ” I blurt out.
“Oh. My. God. You didn't! How was it? ” she gasps .
“It was great! I felt these sparks all over my body when he kissed me and then...he stopped. But then I pulled him in for another kiss!” I babbled happily.
“Are you gonna tell him that it was your first kiss? ” she teased.
“It wasn't!”
“Yes it was! You had you're first kiss with Cody Milore!” she laughs hitting me with a pillow.
“No I swear it wasn't! I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I had my first kiss with Brad when I was in the eighth grade!”
“Liar!” she says hitting me with her pillow again.
“I'm not lying! We actually kissed a lot of times back in highschool. Well before he met Jennifer in sophomore year.”
“Is that why you didn't like Jen back then?” she laughs.
I join her in her laughter and I know I'll never forget this happy moment for as long as I live.
Cody's POV:
Maybe saying I like Lizzy isn't enough anyone. I'm falling for her. I've met a lot of girls way more beautiful than her but something draws me to her. Something makes her the most beautiful girl in the world to me. I'm intoxicated by her. And that kiss...it was magical to say the least.
I think about her right before bed, I dream about her, she's the first thing I think about when I wake up and she's the only person on my mind during the day. Elizabeth Montague. What have you done to me?
Elizabeth's POV:
I woke feeling happy for the first time in a while. It's Sunday and usually I would just laze around the house and watch Romeo and Juliet but I had to get up early and get ready to go to see my mom and Victoria; who arrived a day earlier than they were supposed to. As I'm about to get into the car my phone rings.
“Hello?”
“Lizzy.” says a deep voice.
“Yes?” I answer, dumbstruck.
“I miss you.”
I don't know how to answer that. We're not even dating! Are we? No we're not. We went on one date and I've never had a boyfriend but I don't think that's how it works.
“But we were together yesterday. ” I say finally.
I get into the car and put the phone on speaker.
“I still miss you. When can I see you? ”
“Can't you just come to the office? ” I ask starting my car and driving off.
“Then I'd have to pretend that I'm just your boss's son. ”
“But you are my boss's son.”
“Is that all I am to you? ”
“T-That's n-not what I said.” I say stammering. “I'm just agreeing with the fact that you're mom is my boss.”
“So... ” he says expectantly.
I laugh at his childishness.
“You can see me as long as you have a solid plan. ”
“You can come over to my place. I'll make dinner. ”
“You can cook? ” I ask , surprised.
“Yes. And I'm actually really good. ” he says sarcastically.
I chuckle.
“I guess that means you have no idea how to cook. ” I say laughing.
“Thats exactly what I mean. By the way. You have the most beautiful laugh. ”
“Stop.” I say blushing.
“I mean it. It's beautiful. You're beautiful. ”
I grin but don't say anything.
“So my place tomorrow after work?” he continues, “I'll order takeaway. ”
“Ok. Let's do that.”
“Great. I'll see you tomorrow. ”
“Tomorrow.”
I hang up and grin from ear to ear. When I get to the hotel Cindy and Victoria are staying at , I go to the reception and then about 5 minutes later I find myself knocking on her suite.
Vicky opens the door and beams when she sees me.
“Beth!” she says hugging me tightly.
“Victoria! It's so good to finally meet you. ” I say hugging her back.
“Come on in.” she says pulling me inside.
“Esme! Look who's here! ” Victoria shouts in her strong British accent.
Victoria is 23 years old and so far, I think she's absolutely amazing. She's tall and has a cute pixie cut. She also has green eyes. You could easily mistake her for my sister.
Cindy comes from another room with her arms open.
“Beth my love.” she says hugging me.
“Its nice to see you too Cindy. How are you? ” I ask sitting down.
“I'm alright my dear. Would you like anything? Tea? Coffee? Juice?”
“I'll have some juice please.”
“I'll go get it.” Victoria says heading to the mini fridge.
I turn back to Cindy.
“I hope you aren't leaving soon.”
“I'll be here for about a week but Vicky will stay for longer.”
“She's always welcome to stay with me and Angeline. We would love to have her.”
“Really?” Vicky asks handing me a glass of orange juice. “Can I Cindy? Please?”
She almost sounds like a kid asking for candy. I guess she really values her sister's permission.
“Of course you can. If Beth wants you there, then there's no problem.” Cindy says getting up. “Well you girls can have your chat while I go out for a walk. Maybe I'll even get some nice stills.” She says showing us her camera.“See you later.”
“Bye” Both me and Vicky say as she leaves.
Vicky turns to me.
“Now. Finally just us girls. I want to know all about you.”
“Well I'm afraid there's not much to know. I'm just a normal girl works lives with her friend and works at the MFB. ”
“Wait a second. You work at the MFB? The Milore Fashion Building? No kidding?” she exclaims.
“No kidding. I'm Melody Milore's assistant.” I boast proudly.
“Get out of here! Are you serious?”
I laugh at her excitement.
“Yes. I'm serious. I can even introduce you to her if you want.”
“Really?! My friends would be so jealous! And I would be honored to meet her. When?”
“Tomorrow.”I take a sip of my juice. “You can drop by during lunch hour. Which is 1 to 2 pm. So be there by 12:45.”
“I can't believe this is happening! Thank you Beth!” she says hugging me excitedly.
Later that day, I give Vicky a tour of New York as it was her first time here. We went to all the places she had scene in movies like Grand Central and all. By the end of the day, I was completely exhausted so we had lunch in town then we went back to the hotel.
Back at the hotel, the three us play so many board games and have lots of snacks. At 8pm we order pizza for dinner. By this time, I'm quite tired so I decide to sleep over at the hotel. Me and Vicky share the bed while Cindy sleeps in the other room. Appearantly they booked two rooms for privacy and comfort. Early in the morning, I wake up and shower. I drive to the penthouse, change into clean clothes and head off to work.
I take a cup of coffee to Miss Milore as always and get on with my work. A few hours pass and promptly at 12:45, I receive a call from the reception saying Victoria had arrived. I went downstairs to get her and took her to Miss Milore's office.
“You're ready?” I asked before going in.
“As ready as I'll ever be. And bloody nervous.” she chuckles.
“You'll be okay.” I reassure her.
The door opens and we walk in. Miss Milore greets her with a warm smile. She gets up and shakes Vicky's hand.
“You must be-”
“You're biggest fan!” Victoria says cutting Melody off.
Melody just smiles.
“I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I'm just so stocked to meet you.” Vicky apologizes.
“Oh it's quite alright. Would you like anything to eat Vicky? It's lunch hour after all.” Melody says sitting behind her desk.
“No thank you ma'am. I already had lunch.”
I leave Vicky and Melody to talk and go back to my own desk. I have my lunch from the cafeteria and while I eat, Vicky comes out of the office with a huge smile plastered on her face.
“I owe you for this.”
“No not at all.” I say cleaning up my desk.
“She was even kind enough to take a picture with me. She's so nice. ”
“She is isn't she?”
Victoria leaves and the day passes by fast. At 8pm, I immediately leave the building and drive to Cody's place using my GPS and the address he gave me. I find my self walking towards a huge beautiful mansion.
He's waiting for me outside when I get to the main doors, holding a red rose. I walk up to him and kiss him on the cheek. He gives me the rose.
“You look great.” he says leading me inside.
“Thank you. So do you. And your mansion is just gorgeous.”
“Thank you.”
We go to the huge dinning room where there's lots of food sprawled out on the table.
“I'm just gonna ignore the fact that this was delivered because it looks freaking good.” I say sitting down at the table. He sits across me and I frown.
“What's wrong?” he asks confused.
“You're too far. Come and sit over here. ” I say pointing to a chair closer to me.
He laughs and my heart smiles. He sits next to me and turns to face me.
“Happy?”
I nod stuffing food into my mouth, which he laughs at.
“You're cute you know that?” he says wiping something from my mouth.
After we practically devour all the food, we talk for about an hour about our hobbies and interests.
“I had no idea you could dance. You don't look like you can.” I laugh.
“I can. Let me show you.” he gets up and puts on some music. "Dance with me.”. He says holding out his hand.
I take it and we gracefully dance across the room. Well not really ‘we.’ He leads me. With our faces close and our bodies grinding against each other, I could feel the s****l tension. Eventually I could feel the bulge in his pants against pressing against my body. That can't be very comfortable. I stand on my tippee toes and kiss him. He hesitates at first but kisses me back. To make it easier for me, he lifts he up and puts me up against a wall. With my legs wrapped around his waist and his hands exploring my body, we make out like crazy people.
I don't even realize we're in the bedroom until he lays me on the bed on my back. I start by taking off his shirt and then he slips me out of my dress. Then my bra and panties. I'm completely wet and I want him so bad. He kisses my neck and then moves to my breasts, sucking on my n*****s. I moan loudly in pleasure. Then he kisses me again and takes off his pants and briefs revealing a huge erection. He starts kissing me again all over my body and licking me in all the right places. How is he so perfect at this? Finally he prepares to put it in and as he thrusts in, I scream in pain.
“Ow!” Uncontrollable tears flow from my eyes.
He stops and freezes the when he finally realizes the problem he looks at me horrified and embarrassed.
“Oh Elizabeth, I'm so sorry... ” he whispers slowly pulling out. “I had no idea. ”
I take a few deep breaths.
“I don't want you to stop. Please, put it in. ” I whisper back at him. “Just take it easy and slow. ”
He hesitates but nods.
“I'll be as gentle as I can. I'm so sorry but this will hurt like hell.”
I nod fearfully. I burry my face in his neck and close my eyes.
“Im gonna put it all the way in on the count of 3. And Lizzy, we can stop if you want to. It's never too late.” he says stroking my cheek.
“One...two...three!”
He thrusts it in and I try not to scream to loud. It hurts really bad but it's the kind of pain you can tolerate.
“Are you ok?” he asks concerned.
“I'm ok. Go on.”
After a couple of minutes it still hurts a lot but it feels really good.
“Cody! Oh Cody...” I moan in pleasure. “Don't stop...”
He starts going faster and faster until he moans my name out loud and lies beside me spent.
When he finally catches his breath, he kisses me on my forehead.
“That was amazing. You were perfect.”
I offer him a smile.
“Are you ok?” he asks worried again.
“Yes. Just sore. But that...was fantastic.” I smile happily.
He moves closer to me and cuddles with me.
“Why do you have to be so damn perfect?” he whispers before falling asleep.
“You're the one who's perfect...”I whisper back.
