Noah POV
I woke up to a beautiful morning on Playa des Losers, sense my sarcasm? But little did I know that this day was going to be filled with even more beautiful moments. As I walked down to the kitchen, I couldn't help but feel a little scared, knowing that I was going to spend the day with Cody.
As I arrived in the kitchen, I saw Cody already sitting at the table, eating breakfast. "Good morning sunshine," I said with my usual sarcasm.
Cody looked up from his plate and rolled his eyes. "Good morning, Noah," he said with a smirk.
I grabbed a bowl of cereal and sat down next to him. "So, what's on the agenda for today?" I asked.
"I was thinking we could go explore the island again," Cody suggested.
"Sounds like a plan," I said, taking a spoonful of cereal. "As long as I get to be the navigator."
Cody laughed. "Deal."
We finished our breakfast and headed out to explore the island. We hiked through the jungle, swam in the crystal-clear waters, and even found a hidden waterfall. And throughout the day, our playful flirtation only seemed to escalate.
Every time Cody would touch my hand, I'd feel my heart skip a beat. Every time he'd catch my eye and give me a smirk, I couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline. I didn't want to rush into a relationship with him yet. I didn't feel ready... I was too scared, yet he made me happier than I've ever been.
As the day went on, our flirtation grew more and more intense. And before I knew it, we found ourselves lying on the beach, looking up at the stars.
"You know, Cody," I said, breaking the silence. "You and I have been through a lot together, haven't we?"
Cody turned to look at me and nodded. "Yeah, we have," he said softly.
I sat up and looked into his eyes. "And I know we still have a lot to figure out, but I just want you to know that I care about you. More than most things, you know?"
Cody's eyes lit up with surprise. "Really?" he asked.
I nodded. "Really."
Cody grinned. "More than your books?"
I rolled my eyes. "Don't push it, Code-Miester."
He laughed. After that we just laid together on the sand, looking up at the sky.
Maybe I would be ready sooner than I hoped.
