Enemies with the bad boy (Complete)

Chapter Eleven - I will always look out for you...

Jasmine 

I woke with a pounding headache and feeling like complete crap. Why did I drink so much last night? I don’t usually drink that much. I hate hangovers, and that is how I try to keep within limits, so I don’t get one, but last night those limits seemed non-existent. I would be suffering for the rest of the day. Thankfully I have no plans. I went to move, needing a drink, but I couldn’t move. What the hell? 

I was in my bed, in my room, so why is someone next to me? I know it isn’t my little sister because she is tiny, so even if she did have her arm around me, I would still be able to move. Surely, I didn’t bring some random guy home with me? No, I don’t do those things. Yes, I was wasted last night, but I would remember doing something stupid like hooking-up with someone. 

I hesitantly looked up to see who it was. What the f**k? 

“Cody, why the f**k are you in my bed?” I said, using all my strength to pull myself away from him. 

Cody shut up, looking like a dear in headlights because I startled him. 

“Because you asked me too,” He said. 

“I don’t think so. Why the hell would I want you in my bed? For any reason?” I asked.

“You did, but you know what Jas, think whatever you want,” He said, getting to his feet. 

I didn’t get a chance to say anything because he stormed out of my room. I pulled my knees to my chest and running my fingers through my hair. I close my eyes over, taking a few deep breaths and try to relax my mind, and hopefully, last night will come back to me. It took time, but it did start coming back to me. 

Cody got me home. He got me into bed and helped me into my pjs. He stayed with me because I asked. He tickled my back to help me sleep because I asked. He looked after me! Now I felt like a horrible b***h after I reacted to him the way I did. I should apologise. The thought of it was enough for me to roll my eyes, but I know I was the one in the wrong. 

I hesitantly got out of bed to go and look for him. I checked his room first, and he was there, sitting on the window ledge staring out of the window. 

“Cody,” I said softly. 

“Jasmine, go away,” He snapped, not even looking at me. 

“I am sorry I freaked at you,” I said. 

“Whatever, Jasmine, you can go now,” He said. 

“Thank you for looking after me, last night,” I said. 

He still refused to look at me. He was still mad at me. I don’t blame him. I sighed, shaking my head and left his room. I need a shower, clean pjs, coffee, and food. I am sure he will get over it at some point. I felt too rough to think about it. 

I went straight for the shower. I felt better after it. I pulled on sweats before heading downstairs in search of coffee and food. I could smell bacon cooking. Yes, that is what I need, nice greasy bacon. 

“Morning,” I smiled. 

Lilly was sitting eating her bowl of cereal, my mother sitting with her while my dad made breakfast. 

“Rough, sweetie?” My dad laughed. 

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

“Sure, you don’t, how you are feeling deserves you right,” He chuckled. 

I stuck my tongue out at him, grabbing a coffee and flopping down on one of the seats. 

“Where is Cody?” My mum asked. 

“Dunno, in his room I think,” I shrugged. 

“CODY! BREAKFAST!” Lily shouted.

I groaned, holding my head. That was not good for the hangover. My parents were finding it amusing. How mean of them! I hear Cody coming downstairs. 

“Yes, Miss Lily,” Cody chuckled.

“You don’t seem as rough as Jasmine,” My dad said. 

“That is because I didn’t drink as much,” Cody laughed. 

He made himself a coffee before joining us at the table. My dad was soon serving breakfast of bacon, eggs, sausage and toast. I have never been as glad to see food in my life. I dug right in, shovelling into my mouth in an unladylike manner. Everyone was looking at me. 

“What, I am hungry,” I said, glaring at them. 

They all laughed at me. I ignored them and continued with my breakfast. 

“How was the party last night?” My mum asked. 

“It was not bad,” Cody shrugged.

“I had fun,” I smiled. 

I still don’t quite remember everything, but I remember most, and I had a good night. 

“A little too much fun,” Cody said under his breath. 

What is that supposed to mean? Am I not allowed to have fun? 

“What does that mean?” I said, glaring at him. 

“Nothing, nothing at all,” He said, shoving a forkful of food in his mouth. 

My parents looked between us, both wondering what he was talking about. I don’t even know what it means. I did everything that I always do at parties. I don’t know his problem. Maybe he is pissed because he didn’t get laid because he was looking after me. I didn’t ask him to look after me. 

I didn’t even say anything else. I finish off my breakfast and excuse myself from the table. I washed my dish and headed to my room. I hear movement behind me. I turned to see Cody was behind me. Suddenly, I got the urge to find out what he meant with his snide comment. I turned to face him. 

“So, do you want to explain what that was all about?” I snapped, “What’s wrong, you made because you didn’t get laid,” I added. 

“That has nothing to do with it,” He said, “Do you know how stupid it was off you getting into that state, Jas? You didn’t see the way all of those assholes were looking at you. Some of them wouldn’t have thought twice about taking advantage,” He added. 

He wasn’t mad at me for c**k-blocking him. He was mad at me because he thinks anything could have happened to me last night. 

“Cody, I am not stupid, I can look after myself,” I said softly. 

“Jas, you could barely even walk last night,” He said, “You were up dancing on the table, letting them touch you,” He added. 

I was. I don’t remember that part. 

“Really?” I asked, and he nodded, “What happened?” I added. 

I think I have a feeling about what happened. Cody was watching after me. 

“I took you away from them, and brought you home,” He said, “Jas, I know I have turned into a complete asshole, but I will always look out for you,” He added. 

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

He nodded, smiled and then turned, walking away and headed back to his room. I was grateful for him. I stood for a moment, thinking about it all. He was right. It was not my brightest idea, getting into the state that I did. Thank God Cody was there. 

I don’t even want to think about it anymore. I headed to my bedroom and climbed back into bed. I need more sleep. I did have a good sleep last night, the best I have had in a while, and I have a feeling part of the reason for that was because Cody was next to me. 

Today has been a little confusing. Hopefully, tomorrow things will go back to normal.
