Chapter 10

"I think today is going to be just relaxing." "And packing?" I asked. "Yes." My mom comfirmed. "What time do we leave tomorrow?" Alli asked. "We are checking out at 6am." "What?!" I wined. "Early night." Brad said, I nodded.

"I have to get up at 5am." I said to myself. "Why so early? We would of packed and everything." "I have to shower and get ready." I told Cody and layed back on the sunbed. "You don't need to do that at all, if you have a shower tonight you just have to wake up and change."

"And put my makeup on and do my ha-" "You'll look beautiful without that." "Cody.." I started. "And if you really need to do that you can do it on the plane." "I guess so." I gave in.

"Do you want to go on the jet skis?" I asked. "Sure, let's go." We got up and jumped into the ocean. We climbed onto a jet each. "We need to take those back in a few hours." My dad told us. "We'll come back and take them all back together."

"Can I come with you?" Tom asked. "Not this time buddy." Cody said. "Please, Codes! You never let me go out with you." He pouted, I looked at Cody who clearly wasn't buying Tom's cute act. "I do, I'll take you out when we get home." He told him and started his jet, I did the same.

"We're even are we?" I asked as we slowed down by a small flat rock. It only just stuck out of the water, I got off my jet and swam to it. I climbed up and sat on the edge, Cody did the same and sat next to me.

"So who's going to be on the tour bus with us?" I asked. "Alli, Jake, Ju-" "Jake's coming?!" I asked with excitment. "Yup!" Cody smiled at me. "He's so sweet." "Don't tell him we're together, he still thinks we hate each other. Let him freak out when he finds out." Cody told me.

"Okay, that's fine with me." "Anyway, Alli, Jake, Justin Stirling and Flo." "Okay, sounds good." "Oh and Flo's recording more of the paradise series while we're there so tell him if you don't want to be in them." "I'm cool with it, I've been in a few before."

"We should announce our relationship while we're at our first stop, in Ireland. I have an interveiw to do there to promote my tour and things so, should I do it?" "I'm not sure." I became uncomfortable.

"Baby, they already like you." "They like me as Alli's best friend, not as your girlfriend." "They will like you as my girlfriend when they see how happy you make me." "Give me some time to think." I told him. "I can do that." He kissed my temple.

We talked, messed around and layed in the sun for a while. "I think we should go back for lunch." "Or we could stay here forever." He layed on me, I giggled. "Cody! Get off, you're too heavy!" "You won't want me to get off you soon." Cody flirted and sat up.

"Excuse me?" I sat up too. "You know what I mean."  He winked at me and nudged me playfully, I laughed and pushed him away. "Get away from me, man!" I laughed. I layed back down in the sun, Cody started to kiss my stomach.

"Cody, stop!" I pushed his head away. "Why?" He carried on doing it, I left him. I looked up at the cliff, there was some people up there with cameras. "Cody..?" "What?" He said against my stomach. "I think those people are taking pictures of us." I kept my eyes on the people.

Cody looked and then sat up. "Oh no." "What?" I asked, he was worrying me. "They're taking pictures becuase they're paps." He told me. "So there's going to be pictures of us everywhere?" "Most probably." I sat up.

"Is this bad?" "Well not really because in a few days I'll tell everyone but I don't want pictures of us all over the internet." "Why not?" "People miss interpritate." "Oh." I looked away. "Baby, it'll be fine." "Mmm." I hummed.

"I promise." "Okay." I faked a smile. "Let's go." Cody sensed I wasn't okay, he got up and got onto a jet. I watched him and then did the same thing.

"So shall we take these back now?" Trey asked my dad, he turned and looked at the four jet skis. "Yeah." "Cody, can you come and help?" Brad asked, Cody nodded. I watched them leave and then collapsed on a sunbed.

"I need to take advantage of this sun." "Why's that?" Lilly asked me and she copied the way I was laying on the sunbed next to me. "Because I'm going to a place where it's quite cold." "Where?" "Europe."

Lilly's face dropped, she looked devistated. "Without me?" She asked, her lip began to quiver like she was about to cry. "I'll call you and it won't be for too long, maybe you guys can come and see us for a while too." I told her.

She got up and got onto my sunbed, I sat up and held her in my arms. I felt a tear drop onto my arms. "You can't go, you're my big sister!" It broke my heart to know I made her cry. "You won't even know I'm gone." I tried to reassure her.

"But what if Amy and Jazmyn come for a sleepover? We won't have you to do our makeover and watch our catwalk!" She sobbed, I held her tightly and kissed her head. "What's happened?" I heard Cody ask.

"She just told Lilly about going to Europe." Angie whispered loudly,  I turned around and gestured for Cody to come over. "Hey, Lill. It's going to be okay." Cody said softly as he picked her up and cuddled her.

"I don't want Lauren to leave." She cried into him. Cody kissed her head and stroked her hair to comfort her. He sat down with her, she was holding onto him tightly with her legs wrapped around his waist as far as they could go.

Dad, Brad, Trey and Tom had all gone out and everyone else was asleep on a sunbed. Cody was sat on one of the chairs around the table, I went and sat with him. "Is she okay?" I asked. "Yeah, I think she's sleeping. Should I put her in her bed?"

"Yeah, want me to take her?" "Nah, it's fine. I got it." Cody smiled and walked away with Lilly asleep in his arms. I sighed happily and closed my eyes, after a while I felt someone kiss my forehead. I opened my eyes and looked up to see Cody smiling at me.

"Hey." I smiled as he sat down. "Did she go down okay?" I asked. "Yeah, I thought she was going to wake up but she didn't." "Should I change her?" I asked. "Why?" "Won't she be cold in just her bikini?" "She has blankets." He told me.

"What's the time?" I knelt up on my chair and leaned over to look at his watch. "Why ask if you're going to chek it out yourslef?" I laughed at him, It was 5pm. "12 hours and we'll be leaving this paradise." I said.

"I know, I don't want to leave." Cody confessed, I got up and sat on his lap. I had my back agianst the arm of the chair and my legs over the other arm, I leant against Cody's chest. "Me niether." "But then we go on tour so we'll still see each other everyday." 

"We won't see each other everyday when we get back from tour?" I asked confused. "Most days." "Why not everyday?" "We don't live close enough." "We can walk, it's only a ten minute walk." "I guess so." He smiled at me.

I kissed along his jawline gently, Cody groaned quietly. I smirked and moved my lips to his neck and started to leave wet kisses on him. "Don't start." He warned, I ignored him and carried on.

"Lauren.." Cody moaned. "Hmm?" I hummed as I moved my lips to his shoulder. "Stop." "No." I carried on, he pushed my face away from him. Once he let go I started again. "Lauren, I'm being serious now." He pushed me away again.

"Why?" I asked and pressed my lips againt his. "I love you." He said while kissing me. "You're not getting away that easy." I laughed into the kiss. "Yeah, I am." He said and got up, he picked me up while he got up.

I wrapped my legs around his waist as he went to walked inside, we didn't stop making out. "Where are you going?" I heard Trey ask we got to the doorway, we broke the kiss and Cody put me down. "Wh..what?" I asked. "Why were you going inside?" He asked.

I looked at Cody, he was looking at Trey. "I don't know, we just were." I said. "Don't get any ideas." Trey warned Cody and then turned around and walked onto the platform. I looked at Cody again.

"Wow." I tried brake the awkward tension. "What?" Cody broke his stare from Trey and looked at me. "He's going to get real annoying." "Hmm." He looked back to Trey. "Cody, stop. You don't need to watch him." I told him and walked away.

Cody came after me. "He was clearly watching us." "He's my brother, he's going to be protective." "He can't tell us we aren't allowed to go inside if we want to." "When it looks the way it did to him he can."

"And how did it look to him?" "We were kissing and walking inside, it was clear we were going to your room. You work it out." I told him and walked to the edge of platform, I sat down to dip my legs in the ocean.

"Why were you going to Cody's bedroom with him?" Trey asked me as he sat beside me. "Leave it Trey." "How can I? You're 15." "Nothing was going to happen! He's only 16." I stated "He's 17 in two days." "That doesn't change anything."

"Trey, you're being too over protective." "I don't want my little sister having sex with some random guy!" Trey raised his voice. "Excuse me?" Cody interrupted from the table. By this time everyone was watching us.

"Cody.." I started. "No, Lauren. I want to hear what he has to say." Trey stood up and walked over to Cody. "Why you were you taking her in there?" Trey asked. "Trey, stop!" I got inbetween him and Cody, Cody moved me out the way.

"I wasn't planning anything!" "That's clearly not true." I looked at my dad for help, he was too busy watching the boys. "What me and your sister do has nothing to do with you!" Cody raised his voice. "If you touch her I promise you'll regret it!"

"What will you do?" "I'll ma-" "Excuse me?!" I shouted, they both looked at me. "Who says I'm down to do anything with him? Since when were these decisions made for me? Leave each other alone." "Laure-" "And leave me alone!" I added and walked inside.

I walked into mine and Alli's bedroom and slammed the door, I collapsed on the bed face down. "Hey.." Alli said softly and sat on the bed, I rolled over and groaned. "They used to get along so well." I moaned.

"He's just trying to look out for you." "He doesn't have to fight with my boyfriend to do that, that's obviously going to hurt me." "He's a guy, he doesn't understand that." She smiled at me.

"I seriously thought one of them would hit the other." Alli confessed. "Me too to be honest, I could see it coming." "Like when Cody moved his hand I thought he was going to do it then." "You think Cody would of hit Trey first?" I asked.

"Yeah, he's not scared of him." "He doesn't like it when he gets annoyed at him." "That's normal, think of it this way though.. Would Cody of interrupted if he was scared of him?" "No but I know that Trey's stronger."

"Yeah me too, Trey would win the fight but Cody wouldn't be afraid to start it." I laughed at her, she laughed too. "Our moms took Trey and Cody out when you walked away." "Out where?" "I don't know they just said that they wanted them to sort it out."

"I want them to aswell." "Me too." Alli said as she layed down next to me and then Brad opened the door slightly. "Girls, can you help us with the food?" He asked. "Yeah." We said at the same time and got up.

"Done." I put a bowl of salad on the table to finish. "Thank you." My dad smiled. I felt someone come up behind me and wrap their arms around my stomach. "Hey baby." Cody whispered in my ear and then rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Hey." I unwrapped his arms. He grabbed my hand and spun me around into him, he wrapped his arms around me. "Are you still mad at me?" Cody asked cutley, I pushed him away from me. "Hmm." I hummed and tried to walk away.

Cody caught my hand and pulled me back into him. "Let me make it up to you." He put his forehead on mine. "How?" I asked. Cody smirked at me, I knew exactly what he meant. "You're asking for trouble." I pushed him away and laughed.

"It would be worth it." He winked, I rolled my eyes at him. "It's a shame that it's not happening." I told him and walked over to a sunbed. I sat down on one next to my mom. "How was your outing?" I asked.

"They were horrible." My mom told me, I laughed. "They were shouting at each other for the first 20 minutes." Angie added as she sat on the end of my sunbed. "It was like how you and Cody used to fight." "That bad huh?" I laughed.

"It was awful! We finally managed to get them to shut up and then made the mistake of asking what got them so angry." My mom said, I giggled and awaited for the next part of the story. "They were swearing at each other and blaming one another."

"What were they saying?" "Trey said the obvious kind of things." I nodded to show I knew what they meant by that. "Cody said Trey acted as if he was a guy you've only just met and that all he wanted from you was sex." Angie told me.

"He kind of did intend that." I remembered. "I know he did." "But I'm still mad at both of them." I folded my arms. "Still?" Cody wined as he sat next to my mom. "Yes and no amount of flirtatious jokes are going to change that."

"Are you sure it was a joke?" He smirked at me, I rolled my eyes and got up. Cody followed after me, I stopped and turned around in the living room of our villa.

"What?!" "Why are you so mad? I was just standing up for myself." "No, you were expecting things from me that you should never assume I would agree with." "I wasn't!" "You were, so don't deny it." I turned to walk away but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

"I'm not done." "I am." I twisted my arm to get him to let go of my wrist but he didn't. "Cody, please let go!" I begged, he let go. I stood there and waited for him to say something.

"I love you, Lauren." He pulled me close to him and kissed my head. "I'm not ready." I told him. "I don't care, you don't need to be. I love you more than anything and I couldn't care less about anything else." He leaned backwards and kissed my lips softly.

After dinner I got straight into the shower, I followed my normal routine and then went outside with my pyjamas on. "Has Lilly seriously slept this whole time?" I asked. "Yeah, she hasn't been sleeping well so I think she was very tired." My dad answered.

"Okay, well I'm going to bed." I smiled. "I'll be in after my shower." Cody told me. "No, no, no. She's sleeping with Alli tonight." Trey interrupted our conversation, I thought of a plan quickly. "Okay, that's fine." I smiled and walked inside.

"What? Why?!" Cody asked me. "Just go along with it, he won't know which room I'm in tonight." I said and sat on the couch. Cody kissed my head and then walked into the bathroom. "Lon?" I heard Trey's voice, I turned around.

"Yeah?" "I'm going to bed now." Trey smiled. "Okay.." "I was just telling you." "Alright.." I answered suspiciously, Trey smiled once more and then walked away. Alli walked in and locked our front door.

"Do the this one too." I told her as I pointed at the back door. "Only the others can get to it." "I know, just lock it." "Why?" "Just do it." I told her and walked into Cody's room. I got under the blankets and cheked my phone, which I haven't done in a long time.

"Hey." I heard Cody's voice, I looked up. He had a towel wrapped around his waist and wet hair. "Cody! Get dressed!" I giggled and pushed his away with my feet. "I'm just getting some sweats." "You should of took them with you." He laughed at me.

"Give me a kiss." He ordered and walked to the edge of the bed, I knelt up and kissed his chest. "No, right here." He pointed to his lips. I travelled my way up his chest and then lastly landed on his lips.

It turned into quite a long make out session. "You need to get changed." I said against his lips. "No, I need to stay here and do this." He dismissed and kept kissing me. I broke the kiss and moved backwards.

"Go, I'll still be here when you get back." I pointed to the door. "Fine." He pecked my lips one last time and then walked out of the room. After a while I heard shouting in the living room, I walked out there to find Cody and Trey shouting at each other again.

"What the hell is going on here?!" I shouted. "I might of not locked the door." Alli told me, she was stood in the doorway of her room. "It was just a kiss!" Cody shouted. "I stook by the door, I saw the whole thing!"

"It was nothing!" "So that's all my sister means to you? Nothing." "Oh come on man, you know that's not true." I zoned out and looked at Alli. "This is why I told you to lock it." "I'm sorry, I didn't think he would come back." "I knew he would."

"How?" "He came and told me he was going to bed, he never does that." "So how did you know he knew you would be in bed together?" "We weren't in bed together, we were kissing." "That's even worse!" Alli laughed, I laughed too.

"Oh well." "I never thought of him as being this protective." "Me niether, I really don't like it." "Me niether." "Do you think he's always going to be like this?" I asked. "I don't know, I hope not. It's almost as annoying as when you and Cody used to argue all the time." I laughed at her.

Alli looked over at the boys. "Oh my gosh!" She shouted and ran over to the boys, Cody had a bleeding lip and Trey's nose was starting to bleed. I pushed them apart and stood in the middle of them.

"Alli, go and get dad or someone!" I told her. "What are you playing at?!" I shouted at them. "He started it." Trey pointed at Cody. "You hit me first!" Cody defended himself. "You basically asked me to!" Trey shouted at him.

"Woah, woah, woah. What's going on here?!" Brad asked as he walked into the room, followed by my dad and then Alli. "Isn't it obvious?" I asked. "He feels the need to make out with my sister while wearing nothing." "I had a towel around me."

"Girls can you give us a minute?" My dad asked, we nodded and walked into the bedroom. "I'm not sleeping with him tonight." I said and got under the blankets, Alli did the same. "You heard Cody, Trey hit him first." "Yeah, but why? Cody must of said somehing to make him do it."

"How did we not notice?" Alli asked. "I have no clue." I giggled, Alli laughed too. We layed there in silence until there was a knock at the door. "Yeah?" We answered in unison. "Lauren? Can I talk to you?" I looked at Alli and then followed Cody out of the room.

"What?" "Are you coming to bed?" "Is that it? You ask me that like nothing's happened!" "So is that a no?" "Yes, of course it's a no." I tried to walk away but he stopped me. "I'm sorry." He tried to kiss my forehead but I pushed him backwards.

"Don't try that on me." "I really am sorry though." "You should of thought of that before you fought my brother." "He started it!" "I don't care who started it, you did it too so you're just as bad as him." I stated and walked outside.

I walked to a sunbed and sat down on it, I took in how beautiful the ocean looked with the moonlight on it. I layed down, it was calming to listen to the waves. It helped to clear my head.
