Enemies with the bad boy (Complete)

Chapter Twenty Three - Friend date

Jasmine 

Cody and I were grabbing ice cream after our dinner. We decided not to go see a movie. We chose ice cream, a walk and then a movie at home instead. 

“What kind do you want?” He smiles. 

“Hmm, bubble gum flavour,” I grin. 

He ordered me my choice and ordered himself a mint chocolate chip. I had enjoyed my friend date with him tonight. He has been charming. 

“Here you go, gorgeous,” He said brightly, handing it to me. 

“Thank you,” I respond, kissing his cheek. 

We headed out of the ice cream shop and went down the street. It was a lovely night. The streets were quiet because most places were closed already. I rested my head on his shoulder as we walked. He wrapped his free arm around me and kissed the top of my head. I smiled to myself, taking a bite of my ice cream. 

“Thank you for coming tonight,” He said as we walked. 

“I am glad I did,” I said, looking up at him. 

Cody grinned widely at me before we got back to our ice cream and walk. There was a comfortable silence between us as we did. 

“You want to sit down for a little while?” He asks. 

I nod, and we find a bench to sit down on. He kept his arm around me. I smile, snuggling into his side. I thought this would be a little strange, us going on a sort of date, but it wasn’t weird at all. 

“So, this was a friend date, any thoughts of going on a proper one?” He asked, nervousness evident in his voice, “If you aren’t ready to talk about that, this is alright too,” He added. 

A proper date couldn’t be much different from what tonight is. I wait a moment, not answering him. The longer I took, the more anxious he becomes.

“We could give it a try,” I smile. 

I watch relief take over his face when I say that. 

“Awesome! How about this weekend?” He suggests. 

“Sounds good,” I reply. 

Cody and I stare at each other, neither of us saying a word. I see his eyes dart down to my lips for a split second before meeting my eye again. I know what he was thinking. I was thinking the same thing too. 

“I will take one of those kisses now, as long as you don’t run away this time,” I said, giggling at the last park. 

Cody chuckles and shakes his head before scooting closer to me. He rests one hand on my cheek and the other in my hair. I swallowed hard because having him this close was getting to me. I wanted badly to feel his lips on mine again. He inched his lips closer to me, a small distance between our lips. I was quick to close the space and pressed my lips to his. We both groaned in sync the moment our lips touch. 

I snaked my arms around his neck, pressing against his lips harder. Cody removed his hand from my face, sliding it down to grasp my hip instead. Mmm, yes, this was more like it. I don’t think I have ever been kissed quite like this. 

Cody pulled away first, and it was probably a good thing because we both needed to catch our breaths. I lick my lips, slowly opening my eyes to look at him. He was already looking at me. The biggest smile spread across his lips. 

“Was that better for you since you said the last one was too gentle?” He chuckles. 

“Hmm, much,” I giggle, pecking his lips. 

He winks at me and pulls me in for a hug. I happily hug him back. 

“You wanna head back?” He asks. 

I nod, and we get up and head back to his car. Cody brushes his fingers against mine. He was trying to hold my hand but wasn’t sure if he should. I let our fingers link together, neither of us saying anything but smile at each other. 

                                                      ***

Cody and I were in my bedroom, watching a movie, well we were supposed to be. We were distracted by each other’s lips. We were too busy making out. It only started as a regular kiss, but I got slightly carried away. I couldn’t help myself. Cody didn’t seem to mind, though. He was currently on top of me, my leg around his waist. I had made out before, but not quite like this. It felt good, though. 

Cody pulled away, sitting up on my stomach.

“Baby girl, we should stop,” Cody breathed out. 

“Yes, probably best,” I snicker. 

Cody stole one last kiss, rolling off me before excusing himself to go the bathroom. He didn’t say why, but I had a feeling he has some re-adjusting to do because I could feel it press against me. I may be smirking to myself right now, but he doesn’t need to know that. 

I sit up, sorting my hair and clothes. I quickly got changed into my pjs while he was in the bathroom. Cody came back about ten minutes later, climbing back into bed with me. 

“Better?” I ask, and he nods.

Cody slips under the covers with me. 

“Maybe we should rewind the movie,” He laughs. 

“Yes, we missed it, and it was your fault,” I said, prodding his nose. 

“Me? I was only coming in for a kiss. You are the one that decided that wasn’t enough,” He laughs, “Not like I minded at the time,” He added. 

“I don’t know what you mean,” I reply innocently. 

Cody shakes his head at me and pulls me close. I rest my head on his chest, and he wraps his arms around me. I snuggle in, curling up to his side. He rewinds the movie to the start. We had missed more than half of it. I didn’t realise we had been making out for that long. 

“Now, do you think you can behave this time?” Cody questions. 

“I am sure I can,” I state. 

Cody chuckles and kisses the top of my head. He hits play on the movie. I put my attention on the film, trying to ignore how good he smelt. I was trying to ignore how much my body enjoyed having him close to me. 

Jasmine, get a grip of yourself! I need to pull myself together. I don’t think I have ever been this way around a guy. Then again, Cody isn’t just any guy, is he? 

“Will you stay in here with me tonight?” I asked softly, nuzzling his neck. 

“Sure thing, sweetness, but I will need to make sure I don’t get caught,” He replies. 

“I know, and you won’t,” I smile. 

I like him sleeping next to me, and I know he likes sleeping next to me too. I have no clue where this is going to go for us, hopefully in the right direction. It might work, it might now, but however it goes, it better not ruin us altogether because I don’t think we would ever come back from that again. 

I know I shouldn’t be thinking that way. I need to stop it, especially since we haven’t even had our first proper date yet. We are going to be fine, no matter what happens.
