Enemies with the bad boy (Complete)

Chapter Seventeen - Feels like the old times

Jasmine 

I was in bed, watching a movie on my laptop. Everyone else was in bed already. Today has been a good day. It felt like the old times with Cody and me. It was good to talk with him, laugh and mess around. I still wasn’t sure if I made the right choice giving Cody another chance, but I was willing to give him a chance. He messes up. He doesn’t get another chance. Everyone was happy to hear that we were going to try and be friends again, especially Grandma. 

I hear a knock on the bedroom.

“Who is it?” I asked. 

“Cody, can I come in?” He asked. 

“Yeah, sure,” I said, pausing the movie. 

He came in and smiled at me, and I returned it. He came over, sitting on my bed. 

“What are you watching?” He asked. 

“Clueless,” I giggled. 

“Really? Are you not tired of that movie yet?” He laughed. 

I discovered this movie when I was twelve, and it became one of my favourite movies, even though it was from the mid-nineties. 

“I will never get tired of this movie, and I am offended you would even ask me that question,” I said, faking shock. 

“I don’t even know why I asked,” He laughed, “Scoot over,” He added. 

“I knew you secretly loved this movie too,” I giggled. 

I scooted over, and Cody lay down next to me, and I placed the laptop on my lap. 

“I do not. I only put up with it because you liked it,” He said. 

“If that is the story you are sticking with,” I said, nudging him. 

Cody chuckled and shook his head at me. I smiled brightly at him and turned back to the movie, hitting play. I moved in closer to him and rested my head on his chest. Old habits and all. He froze for a moment but then relaxed and wrapped his arm around me. 

“This feels like old times,” He said. 

“It does, but you forgot your duvet to sleep on the floor,” I laughed. 

“Are you inviting me for a sleepover?” He asked, looking down at me. 

“Yes, to sleep on the floor,” I said. 

“I think we are old enough to share a bed,” He said. 

“Hmm, I don’t know. I think the floor sounds like a better option,” I said. 

“Oh, hush and watch the rest of the movie,” He said, prodding my nose. 

I laughed but did put my attention to the movie. Cody fell silent, and I sneaked a glance at him. Yes, he likes this movie. His face gives him away. He is mouthing some of the words. Busted! I will tease him later for it. I smiled to myself and found myself snuggling in closer to him. Cody didn’t seem to mind. He gently stroked my hair. I don’t know if he realised that he was doing it. It felt nice, though. 

                                                    ***

Cody and I watched the rest of clueless, and then another movie. It was getting late, and I was getting tired. There has been nothing else mentioned about him staying over, and he must have sensed I was getting tired. 

“I should get back to my room,” Cody said, going to pull away. 

“Or you can stay here with me?” I asked. 

“I don’t fancy sleeping on the floor,” He chuckled. 

“Um, you don’t have too. You can sleep in here with me,” I suggested. 

I think I wanted to keep him around as long as I can because I was scared tomorrow things would go back to how they were before we made up. Not only that, but I liked his snuggles, and I have missed them. 

“You sure?” He asked. 

“Yes,” I said softly. 

“OK then,” Cody said. 

I closed the laptop down, putting it away. I rolled onto my side to face him, and he did the same. He smiled, tucking my hair behind my ear. I closed my eyes over, sighing softly. 

“What time do you want to go to the store tomorrow?” He asked, quickly pulling away. 

“Not too early, about ten?” I asked. 

“Yes, that can work, not too early,” He replied. 

“Then it is sorted,” I said. 

He smiled and nodded. Neither of us said anything after that. The silence became a little awkward, but none of us seemed to be moving. 

“Jas, I promise I am going to try my best not to mess this up again,” He whispered, stroking my arm. 

“You better not, Cody, because if you do, we are done for good,” I said softly. 

“I know, sweetness,” He said, kissing my forehead. 

I gave him a small smile and moved to cuddle into him, burying my face in his chest. Cody wrapped his arms around me. His arms always had a way of making me feel secure even when we were young. 

“I missed you, Jas, and I really am sorry,” He said, “You are the last person I should have pushed away,” He added. 

“Yes,” I agreed. 

There was truth in his words. After all, I should have been the last person because I was the only one that knew what was going on and the one that has been in his life for close to forever. 

“Come on. We should get some sleep because we have a busy tomorrow,” He said. 

I had a feeling he didn’t want to talk about it anymore, and that was probably for the best, for now anyway. I hesitantly pulled away from him because I sleep the other way. 

“Goodnight, Cody,” I said, switching the light off. 

I turned my back to him, and I soon feel him shifting too. 

“Am I allowed to spoon you?” He chuckled. 

“I am sure I can allow it,” I giggled. 

I felt the warmth of his body on mine, his front to my back. He draped his arm over me, and I shifted myself back, curling into the curves of his body. Cody pulled the covers up over us. 

“Sweet dreams, Jas,” He whispered, kissing my cheek. 

“You too,” I say softly. 

He moves one of his hands away, but I feel his fingers on the skin of the bottom of my back. I closed my eyes over and feeling myself begin to drift off. It was one thing that always made me fall asleep quickly, and it only works when it is Cody doing it. 

“I am not going anywhere, again,” 

Those were the words I heard as I begin drifting off. I don’t know if he would still be here when I wake up. Then again, maybe he shouldn’t be in case someone comes into the room. I don’t know what everyone would think about catching us in bed, especially at our age: teenage hormones and all. 

That is something I can worry about when tomorrow comes. Tonight all I wanted to do was sleep and enjoy my cuddles with Cody in case everything goes to hell when tomorrow comes back around. 

Yes, I hope things go right between Cody and me, but if not, I would like them to stay good this weekend for the sake of everyone else, if nothing else.
