Cody and Justin took me out to a
restaurant, which I had no idea what the name of it was,
but the food was good. The conversation started out
awkward. Not knowing either of them very well made me
nervous. They were two of the biggest superstars, and my
two top inspirations. It was my opportunity to finally
get to thank them for everything. And I was chickening
out. I was quite a shy girl… so I understood why I
wasn’t talking, but I hated myself for it. I was
going to regret not saying anything. “So, I would
just like to thank both of you, from the bottom of my
hearts for being you. For um, just singing and sharing
your stories with the world! You two are what made me
keep singing, when no one supported me, I turned to you
guys, even though you didn’t know it, you helped
get me through a lot,” I said, taking another sip
of my diet coke. “Not a problem, Lilly!” Cody
said. “Yeah, Lilly, I’m so glad you told me
that, stories like yours keep me going as well,”
Justin added. “Well, I’m glad I got a chance
to thank you two,” I said. “I’m glad I
got a chance to meet you,” Cody said, starring
straight into my eyes. I nearly lost my breath. His eyes
were so… dare I say it, dreamy! Like the rare
color of aqua, I could get lost in them if I looked too
much longer. “So, what do you want to do
today?” Justin asked. I couldn’t believe I
was getting to spend the day with Justin and Cody too if
he was coming along. What girl in the world
wouldn’t want to be me right now? I laughed at
that. “We could go to the beach?” Cody
suggested. “I don’t have a bathing
suit,” I said, sadly… wishing I had brought
one. “Don’t worry, you can borrow one of my
sisters, we can make a stop at my house for a few
minutes,” Cody said. “Uh, bro, I don’t
have one either,” Justin said. “I would say
you could borrow one, but I think you’d be a
different size, isn’t there anywhere you could get
one? We could even go buy on at that shop,” Cody
said pointing to a small surf store across the road from
the restaurant. It sounded like Cody really wanted to go
to the beach! But I had no objection. I mean, beach
equals bathing suits, guys in bathing suits or trunks
equals shirtless. And to see Cody and Justin shirtless
would be quite a sight, even though it would probably be
the last thing I saw, because I’d end up
hyperventilating and fainting, but its all good, I
laughed to myself. It seemed I was having quite the
conversation in my head about this. Have you ever been in
a situation where you figure if anyone can read minds,
you’d be quite embarrassed? Well this is what I was
thinking right now. What If one of them could read my
mind? I looked up and no one looked suspicious. I laughed
at that silly thought. I was over thinking everything I
did. I didn’t dare move an inch in the chair
without thinking about it, thinking that maybe on of the
guys thought I was uncomfortable, or fan-girling, and
left. I had to keep my cool. “Yeah, I guess that
could work,” Justin said. We paid for lunch and
started walking to Cody’s house. Apparently it was
closer than I had thought. We got to the door, it was
bigger than my house to tell you that! we walked inside
and up the stairs to his room. He told his sister that I
was a new friend, which I liked the sound of, and asked
her if I could borrow a bathing suit. She agreed and
brought me into her room, and Justin followed Cody into
his. “So, Lilly is it? How did you meet my
brother?” She asked sitting on her bed. “Oh,
I was on Ellen today and…” I started.
“Oh right! Cody told me he was surprising a fan, is
that you?” She looked concerned. “Yup,”
“Well, it was extremely nice of him to bring you
home!” she laughed. “Yeah, well there was
nothing better to do than to go sight seeing today, so
Justin and Cody offered to take me around, It was really
nice of them,” I agreed. “So you guys are off
to the beach now? Mind if I come?” She asked.
“Sure, no problem! That’d be awesome,”
I agreed. I wasn’t trying to use Alli, I honestly
thought it would be fun for her to come along. But if I
became friends with her, I could become friends with
Cody. So many years of wishing I could just meet him! Now
I would get a chance to become friends with him? Alli was
two years younger than me, which meant she was my
sister’s age. They would actually get along very
well, I thought. So that made me one year older than Cody
and two years younger than Justin. I had figured this all
out before, but I was refreshing my mind. “Ah, you
need a swim suit, here pick from these,” She said,
pulling out a drawer with tons of bikinis and swim suits.
I was about 5 inches and 2 sizes bigger than Alli,
considering she was like 12, it was understandable.
“Hmm,” She said, and picked out a black and
white, polka dot bikini with hot pink strings, and handed
it to me. It was a strapless top. “I got this one
like 1 week ago, it’s a bit big for me, It should
fit you well,” She said, smiling and showed me
where the bathroom was to try it on. I waited at the
door, because someone was in there. Rushing out, we
collided. His bare chest rammed against me. I put my
hands out to block myself. I looked up at him. “Oh,
sorry…” he started, my hands still resting
on his skin. I didn’t say anything. If this had
been a movie, you would have said we were having a
“moment”.
