Invisible.
Chapter One:
"This is going to be perfect." basked Cody, twirling around in our small living room. He was wearing his usual cream sweater with the red and blue stripes horizontally crossed over his chest, and his jeans. He plopped down beside me on our loveseat and wrapped his arms around my waist singing, "We're getting married."
Smiling, I put my arm around his shoulders and squeezed him, beaming in my wealth. Although we weren't very wealthy money-wise, we were the richest couple alive through love. Before I had met Cody, I would've never believed anything of such, being so skeptical and hard to convice. But love came to me and handed me the greatest gift, and in less than a day, he was to be mine forever and always.
"Aren't you excited, Noah?" asked Cody. He could hardly retain his happiness. He was vibrating with joy, his emotions were bouncing off the walls, lightening the atmosphere.
"Of course." I replied. "I'm just jumping for joy."
"Don't sound too excited." he said nudging me, and I suppose an idea sprung to his mind because then I was pinned down on the sofa and he was tickling me. Or, at least, he was fruitlessly attempting to tickle me.
I gripped his wrists, grinning. "Not ticklish, remember?"
He cocked an eyebrow, then a Cheshire Cat smile formed on his face. He flipped his leg over the side of the sofa and the turned his back to me.
"No!" I protested as he began untying my shoes, and threw them at the front door of our apartment. "Cody, don't!"
"Not ticklish, eh?" he asked, the smile was dominant in his voice. And then I felt it. The rippling sensation of such a torture it provoked laughter! He becan clawing his nails at the soles of my feet, and laughed like a manaic as I unwillingly giggled to the feel of my feet being tickled.
Consistantly protesting almost as fruitless as Cody tickling my sides. He went at it, tickling my feet and I started kicking and tried pulling him back by the back of his shirt.
"Cooooooooooodyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" I wailed, tears streaking down my face from laughing so hard.
Finally, I pried him away from my feet and he fell on his back on my stomach. He rolled over to lay flat on me: stomach on stomach, propped up on his elbows, smiling down at me. He smiled, a smile that would beat Justin's smile by a longshot, with that gap between his teeth, but warm and welcoming.
"I love you." he said, gazing down at me with those beautiful eyes.
"I love you too." I replied, reaching with my mouth for his. It was hard, sinch he had me pinned with his elbows, so instead I freed my arms, then pulled his face to mine, having his lips melt with mine in a sweet kiss.
When we pulled apart, he was still smiling, but then his face dropped when he saw my saddened look.
"What wrong?" he asked concerned.
I pulled my arm up in front of his face to show the time reading 8:30 p.m. "I should get going." I said, sighing. "I'll meet you at 11:30 tomorrow to be united with you forever in front of all of our friends and family."
"Promise?" he asked, pouting like a puppy.
I kissed him again. "Promise." I agreed, then slapped my hands twice against his thighs. "Now get up. Up, up."
He smiled and sat up, falling over the side of the couch to our rugs, and laughing. I grinned, and rolled my eyes. "Smoothe, Code, smoothe." I said, chuckling lightly. I stood up and headed for the door, grabbing my coat from the coat rack, and opening the door. "Night."
"Don't foget me!" he called out, holding his hands out as he kneeled on the floor. He was still grinning wide. "And goodnight."
"Hehe, how could I forget you." I said, shaking my head. Then I shut the door behind me as I exited our apartment. I would go to sleep that night Noah Sanchez and then soon become, the next morning, Noah Halliwell.
Realliy liking the ring of that "Noah Halliwell", I practically skipped all the way down the hall to the elevator, and out of the building to my car. Imagine that! ME skipping! I howled out a laugh at the thought of that too. Well, much had changed since Cody and I first admitted our love.
Sure, I still loved reading, and sarcasim was the only sport I was good at, and I was almost always right, but I was also fun-loving, easy-going, and uttermost deeply in love. He was the other half of me, he was my life, and would officially become my life after we said "I do".
Getting in my black Sudan and putting the key in the ignition, I started the car, pulled out of my parking spot, and headed on my way to Izzy's house, where I would be staying this evening. She had made sure that she was my only hope for a place to stay the night before the wedding. Possibly, Izzy was the happiest one for Cody and I, although I'm pretty sure that was only to satisfy some crazy fetish of hers, but either way, support was great.
Actually, Izzy was the first of anyone to know of Cody and I, officially. Running from the law for some illegal act, she stumbled upon our apartment, since it was under my name in the Yellow Pages. And then, to degrate herself even lower than running from the law, she peaked. Yep, she mimicked the infamous Katie and Sadie twins and "Eeeee"-ed. That's how mostly everyone found out. No,,not from running from the law, but from Izzy and her big mouth. That Izzy, she's a wild one, but after getting to know her better, I love her like a sister. That's why she's my Maid of Honor.
Her home wasn't too far away from our apartment complex, and just around the bend from the Hall where Cody and I were to wed at.
Suddenly, my cell phone began to ring the song "Your Gaurdian Angel" by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, notifying me that my Cody was calling.
"Hey, hun." I greeted. "Is everything allright?"
"Did you have to leave?" whined my Cody, in such a pleading tone, I wanted to drive back home.
"It's bad luck." I stated in my know-it-all tone.
"Since when are you suspersticious anyways?" he asked, returning my tone.
"I'm not, but I know you are." I gloated. "So I'm doing this for you."
"Ugh," he groaned, and then yawned. "But I don't care."
"Yes, you do." I stated. "Now, how about you go to bed. We don't need you falling asleep when we're exchanging vows. Goodnight, baby, I love you."
"Fine. Love you too."
I shut my phone and snug it back in my front pocket, shaking my head. "That man..." I spoke to myself. "How much I just love that man..."
Then, just as I had put my phone away, the caller tone for anyone calling, "Viva la Vida", played. An exastperated sigh excaped my lips, as I reached back into my tight pocket and pulled out my Moterola Crazr phone, reading the caller ID.
"Hey, Iz." I greeted right after I flipped open the phone.
"Noah! Heyy! What time you think you'll be getting here?" Izzy's hyper active voice rang through the whole car. Funny part was, my volume wasn't even all the way up.
"I'll be there in like...let's say 5 minutes." I replied, trying to estimate the miles and time limit along with speed limit, all at once.
"Alrighty then!" exclaimed Izzy. 'See ya there! Here!"
"Yeah see ya-OH MY GOD!"
