"There you are," Michael softly said your name as he carefully pulled you in by your wrist, making you unfreeze.

"I was starting to think Quincy was of no use," he added with a giggle as he looked at Quincy sitting in a chair.

"Hey, I told you to give it time," he said as he looked from the control board up to the two of you.

"Well looks like I wouldn't need to," Michael added as he let go of your wrist and looked to you. "So did it work?"

Swallowing you slowly calmed, smiling weakly. "It did. Thank you."

"No need to thank me."

"Thank me," Quincy suddenly chimed in. "Your old man was a tough nut to crack."

"You did it though. I can't remember the last time I saw him like that..," you said looking at him, "so thank you."

"You're welcome," he gave you a nod and then turned his attention to Michael. "Now give her a rundown so we can start."

"On it," Michael said, turning to face you. "So," he said your name, nudging his head towards the door of the recording room, "I want you to listen to the demos we have so far and just go with the flow, okay?"

You nodded, listening to him while walking into the recording room with him. "Okay... Should I just harmonize or-?"

"Whatever feels right. You can even change or ad lyrics. I want your whole opinion on it."

Your heart felt like exploding. He actually wanted your opinion. Yours!?! It felt surreal but you were more than happy about it.

"Alright," you eventually agreed as Michael gave you headphones once you stopped in front of a mic.

Calming your nerves, you closes your eyes and took a few deep breaths. Michael was standing by your side the whole time.

"Ready?", he asked softly as you shook off your whole body.

Opening your eyes again you gave him a nod with a faint grin. "Ready."

And with that Michael gave Quincy the go to start playing the track, putting headphones on himself so he could hear you. "Start with 'Baby Be Mine'," he added and Quincy did so.

As Quincy started the track started Michael quickly put the lyrics on the music stand in front of you. Giving him a nod of approval.

The melody started and you immediately started grooving to it. I was just rough vocals but still so beautiful. He simply had the most beautiful voice. And it was so contagious. You hummed and vocalised along, glancing at the lyrics every now and then, mainly doing ad-lips and such.

Michael seemed to love it completely. Not only what you did to his song but also what you did in general. Loving the fact you were constantly moving too. A habit he also had since he was a kid.

As the song progressed you tended to ad lyrics sort of like the girl who this song was directed to responded. It's a stylistic method you loved. Two lovers singing to another in a song. It's beautiful.

When Michael realised what you were doing he was almost starstruck. He never really considered that as an option to include to his songs, but he enjoyed that idea. A lot. Especially since it's coming from you.

The song eventually stopped and Quincy stopped the track. He didn't say anything because he knew to leave the moment to the two of you. He was definitely just as amazed as Michael was.

Carefully removing your headphones you finally looked at Michael. While recording you couldn't dare to do so.

Meeting his gaze your heart jumped for a moment. He was speechless. Like really. His eyes soft as he swallowed before talking.

"That... that was beautiful," he said before breaking into a soft laugh. "How you approached that. Sing from the girls point of view."

"You liked that?", you carefully asked as you turned to look at him.

Now he seriously laughed, "Liked?"

Your heart stopped for a moment as your head started spinning. Before you could react any further he added, "I loved it..." He softly said your name before stepped closer. "That was such a beautiful approach. I really really like that idea."

"You do?"

"Yes." His voice was soft and tender.

"Thank you," you mumbled as you turned your body to face him better.

"I gotta thank you."

You laughed, shaking your head, "For what?"

"For doing this."

"It's nothing...", you said with a wave of your hand.

The air was hot between you two, him unconsciously moving closer. Before anything could happen Quincy cleared his throat, making you two look at the window he was behind.

"Uh- great work honestly. I'm impressed. When Michael ecstatically told me about you, I thought he was just exaggerating. Turns out he wasn't."

Michael just rolled his eyes at that comment and you couldn't help but laugh. "Thank you," you replied a little shyly.

"So, you wanna go again?", Quincy asked you both.

Michael turned to look at you and decided to go back to business, "What do you say? Should we do this together this time?"

Your heart fluttered. He wants to sing with you. Together? In this enclosed room? "I- uhm, sure. Let's try."

Michael was more than happy. "Great," he said softly, putting his headphones on. "Quincy, could you play the instrumentals, please?"

Quincy gave him a thumbs up and did as asked. You looked between the two men and finally put your headphone on too.

Looking at Michael in the dim studio light made your heart beat faster. Everything about this felt so real. He stepped over to the second microphone which was basically next to you. Standing side by side now.

Reality hit you as the song started playing. Michael began to sing, his voice sounding so naturally soothing. God, you were obsessed with it. Flowing his voice and movements you started to vibe, just like before. If not even more.

Your voices sounded almost angelic together. Vocalising with him in live time was even better than just the recording. To think you were just singing to his songs yesterday and now you're here, singing with him. It was all too beautiful to be true.

While doing the female pov in the song, your attention turned to Michael, suddenly meeting his gaze. He smiled at you while singing so effortlessly.

Singing back and forth and together and towards each other was more intimate than you ever thought. Blush spreading your face naturally. But the same happened to him. Holding eye contact became harder meanwhile vocalizing together was easy by now.

The recording session ended faster than it did when you were recording alone.

"Amazing guys," Quincy said before you two took your headphones off.

Michael smiled at Quincy with a nod before turning to look at you.

"You're incredible," he said your name so softly, giving you shivers down your spine. The blush on your cheeks only getting heavier.

"I'm not-"

"Oh, no. Don't start that. You are. Incredible and very talented," he interrupted you softly. It was so incredibly sweet you already felt addicted.

"You're too sweet. Thank you." A simple compliment. But it made him blush as well.

A moment of silence went by where you two just blushed at each other with wide smiles, making your cheeks hurt.

"So you liked it?", you seemed to ask.

Your simple question made him laugh softly. He felt like the answer was the most obvious thing. And maybe it was. You just needed to hear him say it.

"Now you're being ridiculous," he shook his head. "Of course I liked it. I loved it. Your idea bought a whole new perspective to the song."

"Thank you, Michael."

"Don't thank me. That was all you," he somehow got closer to just casually nudge your shoulder with his hand. The subtle touch made you heat up.

"Yeah, but thanks to the opportunity you gave me," you vaguely pointed at him, not daring to nudge him back.

There was something so intimate about how close you two were standing. Probably a foot away, but still closer than before. The air was hot, mostly because of all the electricity running, but to you it was because of him. It made you feel dizzy.

All he did was giggle to your words. It's this delicate sound that made your head spin.

"I guess we're both equally participated in this."

Now you chuckled softly, "I guess we are."

Quincy took a while to rearrange some stuff, mostly leaving you two do your thing in the background. As he noticed the quiet from your ends he spoke up, making you snap out of it.

"You guys wanna listen to your first run?"

Giving each other a look, you two smiled and agreed with him.

"We would love too," Michael replied softly.

Making his way to the door separating the recording booth to the control room, he opened it for you to go through first. He was following behind closely.

Sitting down on the couch, you looked over at Quincy. "I'm ready," you let him know.

With a smile Michael leaned against the control board, looking towards you but also being able to look at Quincy, "Me too."

"Okay. Embrace yourself," he kinda teased before pressing play.

The song started playing and it felt like you were in that booth all over again. Okay, sure, that was literally just moments ago, but still. Hearing your voice play however was a sorta out of body experience. You realized you never heard yourself sing so clearly. The recording system was great. It did made you sound good.

As you two started harmonizing on the record Michael looked at you with a smile. He seemed so focused on the sound, but at the same time so relaxed.

Hearing you two sing together felt like a dream. You didn't even realize it but the smile on your face was unbeatable. For a moment you closed your eyes, to just relish the sound.

Feeling a slight shift on the couch made you open your eyes. Michael was sitting next to you now. Making eye contact he leaned closer.

"You like how it turned out?"

Nodding, you relaxed a little, "I do." Shifting to look at him better you added, "How about you?"

His face was soft and so close, it was merely distracting. "I do too. Our voices blend well together."

"I think so too," you immediately replied. "But I feel like my voice is a bit too overlapping at times."

"Really?"

Honestly at times he thought the same, but he was so starstruck by you, that he almost forgot you were supposed to be the background vocalist and not a feature.

"Yeah."

There was a lopsided smile on his face as he got over and talked to Quincy. You couldn't really hear them, due to the music still playing, but you could only imagine. The song came to an end and suddenly you could hear bits of their whispered talking.

"Yeah. Alright. I figured," Quincy mumbled as he pressed some buttons, "I see what I can do."

"Thank you," Michael said as he turned around and walked back to you.

"And?" you asked kinda curiously. With the bits you heard, you couldn't decipher what it was about.

"Let's get in try this again," his tone was soft and innocent as he held out his hand to help you up. "Different this time, okay?"

Hesitantly you took his hand and got up with his help. His skin was so soft, you never wanted to let go. But you had too.

"Okay," you quietly agreed.

"Don't over think it. Just go with the flow. We can mess up or figure stuff out as we go. That's the beauty in art."

His words always seemed work like magic. All of your worries flowing away.

"You're right. Thank you."

"You gotta stop thanking me," he whispered your name with a faint smile as you two walked into the recording booth.

His words made you giggle. Worries somehow gone. Letting you relax throughout the whole session.

This time you decided to try something else. Focus on being in the background but keeping your idea with being the other pov. You didn't overlap Michael that way and kept your position as agreed upon.

After recording you felt unsure of your performance.

"How did I do?", you almost sounded too nervous.

Carefully taking his headphones off, he turned to look at you, "Good. Very good." Thinking for a moment he tried to form his words carefully. "I noticed you tired to step back from being too loud or overlapping."

"Is that a bad thing?"

He shook his head, "Not necessarily." Pausing momentarily he shifted his weight. "I appreciate your concern and how you approached this but... you know Quincy can just edit the volume. And I don't want you to hide your talent."

Dammit, this guy. The redness was spread all over your face. You shifted your weight now.

"I just thought... you asked me to be your background vocalist and I'm being rather loud to be that."

He just laughed and shook his head, softly tutting your name, "It's adorable that you worry but you don't have. You did great in all takes. I just want you to feel comfortable and do it the way it feels right to you."

Adorable? Shit. You swallowed, taking a deep breath, trying not to blush even more, "Okay. Alright. I can do that."

"Good... you're ready to go again then?"

"Yes," you said as you put your headphones back on.

With an approving nod, Michael did the same. Signaling Quincy, he restarted the track. Exhaling deeply, you tried to relax and just do what feels right. You know he cares about that and you were in no position to dissapoint him.

The recording went pretty well. Doing just what you did before. And he seemed to be loving it. It was great fun, honestly. You were glad he let's you interpret this song so freely.

As the recording ended eventually Qunicy just have you two a thumbs up. Michael turned to you with utter adoration.

"That's more like it. You did good," he said your name, giving direct praise. It gave you a slight shiver actually.

"Thank you. I still can't help but feel like I'm doing too much," you confessed.

He nodded seemingly getting your point, "Right. I figured."

Without saying another word he looked at Quincy, making eye contact and probably saying something with it. Because before you know he looked back at you and spoke carefully, "Will you excuse me for a minute?"

Giving him an approving nod he went back into the control room with Quincy, heatedly talking about something you couldn't hear or decipher.

The anticipation was rising inside of you as you finally saw a wide smile on Michael face. It was the indicator for him to return to the booth with you.

Your nerves were burning, having no clue to what he was up too. As he joined you in the booth again he walked over to you. Tilting your head at him all curious he just laughed breathlessly.

"You're wondering what this is about?" It was basically written all over your face.

"Very much so, yes," you said with a similar laugh.

He nodded, a smile spread over his face. Michael made sure to stand face to face now, like earlier, a little over a feet apart.

"After hearing our recording together I had this idea. I had to run it through with Quincy and make sure this could work before asking you."

The anticipation grew inside you, everything feelsso real now. Not saying a word before hearing the whole thing.

"Do you want to be a feature on this song? It could be your debut if you want to."

You froze. Again. Not believing your own two ears. A feature? Me? You were utterly shocked.

"Are you joking?", was all you got out.

He laughed and shook his head, "I am most certainly not."

"What about my father?", was the next thing you worried about.

"Say the word and Quincy will convince him," Michael said and looked over to Quincy who was ready to get up and get it done.

Your eyes widen as you shook them in a x motion. "No. Not today. You already did so much."

Sighing deeply you looked back to Michael, "As much as I love and want to accept that offer I'm not sure if I can. This is all a lot."

Honestly? You were hating yourself for saying this but it was the truth. Michael knew to be expecting that.

"I know. No pressure. Just- think about it? Quincy will ready both versions. That will give you some time to consider and once they're done, we'll listen to it. Then you can tell us your decision."

Exhaling deeply you nodded, "That sounds nice. Thank you."

Your emotions suddenly got the best of you. Maybe it was because he was so close but you just hugged him. There weren't enough words in the world to express what you were feeling. You thought a hug did.

"Thank you. For everything. I will talk to my dad," you said, mumbling into his shoulder, arms wrapped around him.

Nodding he mumbled back, his arms slowly wrapping around your waist, "If you need help convincing, just let me know."

Giving him a nod back you slowly pulled away, his arms still vaguely lingering on your waist, "I will."

Reluctantly pulling away he seemed to be getting nervous. Maybe because of the lingering touch or of something he could possibly be feeling. Clearing his throat he spoke again, "Just uhm-", he reached into his pocked and pulled out a little card, "just give me a call or find me here."

Taking the card you looked at it for a moment and put it safely into your pocket. "I will," you replied again.

After some comfortable silence Quincy spoke up again.

"I think we are done for today. Thank you so much for joining us," he said your name as you gave him a nod.

"No problem."

"Hopefully we get to hear from you soon."

"I hope so too," you replied to the guy behind the glass before turning around to the one in front of you.

"I'll get back to you as soon as possible, Michael," you kinda hesitated, wanting to call him Mike, like everyone close to him does. But you didn't dare. He seemed to notice though.

Michael nodded with a warm smile, "You can call me Mike. If you want."

Pressing your lips together you kinda felt caught but you nodded anyway.

"I'll be waiting for your answer then." His tone was warm and his words giving you no pressure it all. It was more like a promise. And hope. Hope for you to green-lit the feature.

You knew it. And you wanted nothing more than that. But officially being on Michael's album. That's a big step. You needed to sleep about it, at least.

Slowly making your way out the booth you barely broke eye contact.

"Thank you for today..," you said turning around to fully face him as you reached the door. "I'll see ya then?"

Pressing his lips together it fainted into a soft smile, giving you a nod, "Absolutely. See ya," he added your name in a soft matter. Something he seems to do every time he says your name.

"Bye, Mike." Your voice was also soft, almost mirroring him.

As you turned around you also thanked Quincy and said goodbye just before leaving.

Michael followed you with his eyes until you were out of sight. Letting out a deep breath, he felt like he was holding his breath the whole time. He wasn't sure what it is, but there was just something about you that made him feel different. Good different, of course. He just wasn't used to it. And he wanted you to be featured in this version of 'Baby Be Mine' so bad. But he knew to give you space and time to think about it.

You just went back home straight ahead. You knew your dad would be to busy now anyway and you needed some time to let everything sink in. But you were more than sure: This could the beginning of something big.

But that all kinda changed when he met you. Somehow he slowly but safely stopped his whereabouts. But there was no big fuss about it. Sure, the girls he used to hook up with noticed, at least one or another, but it was whatever.

What the biggest problem was is that he couldn't seem to get your attention and you didn't bother to give it to him. You knew his reputation and wanted nothing to do with it. Besides, you barely know the guy. Even though you really wanted to. Like the real him. You just have a few classes together, where you barely speak to him and you sometimes clean the changing rooms of the football team he plays for.

Yes. Right. You do it to earn a little pocket money. Nothing special honestly. So you have bumped into him once or twice. Exchanging a quick "hi" or something but that's it.

Until he had enough of that. A few days ago he started to try a bit of small talk. "You again?" or "How are you?" or "Great to see a female face around here every once in a while" or something like that. You just seem to be unbothered. Answering shortly as you try to start cleaning the place.

But one day. Today. Things went differently. Your normal cleaning time was around 10pm. Which was usually the time everyone has left or was just about to. Today you came in a little late. Okay, just like 10 minutes or so, but you were sure everyone was gone. You had your headphones on, your Walkman blasting some hip-hop and rock songs, as you grabbed the broom and swept out the changing room. Before you finished though you remembered, you had to clean the showers as well today. So minding your business you thought about checking that first before continuing.

Sure you saw that the lights were on but thought nothing of it because they tend to forget things. Their deodorant, a water bottle, a sock, even turning off the lights. And your music was on blast so you heard nothing.

Unknowingly you went into the collective shower room. Looking at the ground as you move your head to the music, humming along, thinking you're alone. But then you saw water droplets fall to the ground which made your heart stop. You looked up thinking the shower might be broken but you were met with someone showering.

Wait- Derrick?!

You went flushed pink and turned around as fast as you registered what you saw, apologising yourself stupid, pulling your headphones down.

"Fuck- I'm so sorry. Oh god. I didn't check- my music was too loud- I'm so fucking sorry."

You apologise as you were turned to the wall. You expected him to yell at you, make a fool out of you, but he didn't. Well, he laughed, but rather humourless and maybe a little flustered.

"Hey, it's okay... you can look if you want."

Your eyes widened even more and heart started beating faster. Yes. You did caught a glimpse of his body and you'd be lying if you'd didn't say you liked what you saw. Or that you didn't want to see more. You did.

Hesitantly and carefully you took a double take over your shoulder, trying just to look at his face.

"W-what are you still doing here?"

He just scoffed as he looked down at him and then back up at you with a shrug.

"Taking a shower?"

"You can do that at home."

You spat back and he just scoffed, nodding as his gaze pierced into yours.

"True, but... there wouldn't have been a chance for you to see."

He said with an almost disgusting smirk. But somehow.. it wasn't. It was ... endearing. You hated yourself for that thought.

No! That's just what he does. Don't fall for it.

After unfreezing you just scoffed and rolled your eyes at him.

"You're disgusting. Just get done!"

You said as you sighed and turned around. He wouldn't have it.

"Wait- I- I need your help."

He almost sounded pathetically desperate. Maybe because he started to be exactly that. Desperate. He could have any other girl. But no. He wanted you. And he was so determined to get what he wants.

You just rolled your eyes at his comment. Not believing what you were doing. You actually stopped. Why were you being so curious all of a sudden?

"For what?"

He couldn't believe he got your attention. Derrick knew he had to play it cool.

"Could you just turn around and look at me?"

Everything inside you screamed no, to just go and leave him. But you couldn't. Not yet. So slowly you turned around, eyes closed at first, but then slowly opened one after the other as you met his gaze. The urge to look down was so embarrassingly strong.

"Now, what?"

He smiled softly as the water stopped and his hand was starting to made a very suspicious movement.

"What ar-"

You were just about to ask before he got closer and you, shamelessly, looked down.

FUCK-

He was actually jerking of and DAMN, he was hot and packed. His hard dick was bigger than you thought. But now everything made sense.

You looked up before he stopped in front of you, breath ragged.

He whispered your name which made you look up at him.

"I need your help-"

He started as he took your hand. You thought about pulling back. Heck, you even thought you did for a moment. But no. He guided your hand down to where his other hand was holding his dick. And you did nothing against it.

"-here."

Gasping lightly you wrapped your hand around his hard cock, working on it almost out of reflex, even though you barely did this before. Looking at what you were doing for a moment before you looked back up, seeing how he closed his eyes for a moment, whimpering softly. As he opened them back up he smiled at you. Before you could say anything, he did.

"I've been dreaming and thinking about this for a while now. Scheming on how to get your attention. I don't know what it is with you but oh, I want you so bad. And I know it's messed up. I was almost giving up on it, but then I had this plan. There was a high chance you would hate me even more after this but seeing, and feeling, what you are doing -"

You kinda cut him off without thinking.

"I don't hate you.."

He sucked some air in through his teeth, not only to your words but also because you were still working on him. Your pace actually quickening as you fist clenched a little.

"Fuck-... you don't? Then why do you ignore me all the time?"

He asked with a hoarse tone in his voice.

"Because-"

Suddenly you stopped. He actually softly whimpered because of the sudden loss of friction.

"- this! I didn't want to be one of the girls you fucked and moved on from! I want someone to care. Someone who's not gonna use me and call it a day. That's not me. But here I am. Literally touching you and then you're just gonna leave me—"

Derrick left you no chance to finish what you were saying. He just cupped your face and crashed his lips on yours. Finding yourself lost in it faster than thought, melting into his touch basically. As he pulled back he looked into your eyes, deeply and a bit dazed.

"I know I made some stupid decisions in the past. But I stopped ever since I met you. I really want you, Y/N. And not just for tonight..."

He basically spilled his whole heart out here. It was weird for him. To communicate how he feels for a girl that could easily reject him and make fun of him. But that wasn't the case. Well, you kinda scoffed at him as you shook your head.

"You're insane. You could have just told me otherwise."

You said as you look down at him and then back up with a smirk.

"Bold move, I know."

He said with a shrug.

"Bold and very stupid."

"Guess that checks out."

"Yeah... but it's also hot."

You added as you got closer again and kissed him. This time, almost desperately. The kiss got deeper and deeper as you finally touched him again, helping him get bigger once more. You never imagined him being a moaner but you were so happy about it. It gave you shivers down your spine, causing you to moan into his mouth as well. Tongues intertwining as you move even closer, chests just hovering against each other. As his wet and damp body touched yours you gasped softly. Derrick moved his hand to your shirt and softly pulled on it.

"Take this off.."

He said seductively. You hummed and complied, helping him get rid of your shirt, revealing your bra. Derrick's breath hitched as he saw you like this. Initially his hands moved around you to grab the clasp of your bra and with a practice *snap* it opened. Making you throw it aside just like your shirt.

"Fuck... you're even more beautiful than I imagined."

"You imagined me naked?"

You said with a breathless chuckle as you softly kept stroking him. He hummed as he bit his lower lip.

"All the time."

"Creep."

You said jokingly as you crashed your lips back on his. After a moment he pulled back again with a humm.

"Mhmm... take these off. I wanna see you completely."

Smiling you left his dick go and unbuckled your pants, taking them off effortlessly as he watched, stroking himself. Seeing you in your panties he left out a groan and pulled you closer by your hips with his free hand.

"You're a work of art."

You rolled your eyes at him.

"You're just saying that."

Derrick just shook his head with a smirk.

"No. I mean it."

Something in the way he said it told you he was being truthful. No bullshitting. And honestly? You belived him. Because you saw how he looked at the girls he used to kiss and hook up with. The way he looks at you though? Completely different. And it made your stomach feel warm inside. 

"Fuck this.."

You mumbled before basically jumping him, your hand tangled into his mullet as you pulled him into a deep kiss. Both of you moaned into it as you took over again, stroking his dick with a bit of strength, your thumb rubbing over the pre-cum on his tip. Derrick's hand moved to your clothed pussy, finger sliding from the top to bottum until he palmed you fully.

"Fuck.. you're so wet already?"

Derrick managed to mumble between kissed, happily and satisfied, leading you to groan. His kisses started moving down your jawline and neck.

"I just wanna feel you, Derrick."

Breath ragged and voice cracking as he pulled back, looking at you with a hunger.

"Well, that's all you had to say."

The smirk on his face made it almost split in half. With a swift motion he picked you up, wrapping your legs around his torso. Effortlessly he carried you into the changing room, next door, laying you down on the table. Looking up at him you felt your stomach twist. Reality hiting you.

I'm about to fuck Derrick Smart.

Or he is about to fuck you. Details do not matter. 

"Fuck.."

It suddenly slipped your lips as you realised you needed protection.

"You don't happen to have a condom with you, right?"

Wrong. Stupid question. Derrick just smiled as he pointed out his index finger, signaling you to wait. He then just hurried to his locker, grabbing a condom out of his training bag before rushing back. 

"Always prepared, baby."

A smile spread across your face at the nickname. Prepping yourself up on your elbows, you nodded towards his dick.

"Put it on."

He was loving your eagerness and wouldn't let you tell him twice. So he put the package between his teeth and swiftly opened it. Pulling the condom out as he threw the package to the ground. Stroking his cock a few times he smirked at you. A few water droplets still fall from his damp body.

"Look at you... so desperate for me all of a sudden."

"Shut up."

You grumbled through gritted teeth which made him laugh hoarsely.

"Fuck, you're even hotter that desperate."

Derrick grumbled before finally pulling the condom over his dick. His fingers hocking into the waistband of your panties before pulling them down, revealing your already throbbing pussy.

"Fuck!"

He exclaimed as he licked his lips.

"You're already throbbing? So fucking beautiful."

Getting closer so he could rub his tip along your folds, you groaned deeply.

"Hmm..fuck..I.. I need you."

It was hard to admit but so true. You needed him. Right about now. With a soft smirk he moved his thumb to you clit, circling it. The way he somehow almost immeditly found the right spot showed you he was experienced. You couldn't help but moan out.

"Yeah? Like that?"

His dick twitched against your entrance, making you prep up a bit more to reach out for him and stroke him, so he would stay hard.

"Mhhmm..yes..."

With a smirk he slowly removed your hand from his cock, gently pushing you down by your chest.

"Relax, baby. I'm doing the work, okay? You just enjoy."

You hummed with a soft moan as you layed on your back, watching him rub you.

"Tell me how you like it, baby. Slow or rough?"

The question made your heart stop and flutter faster as an adrenaline pump.

Fuck. He really cares about satisfaction.

You thought about it for a good moment.

"I need an answer.."

He said as he stopped circling your clit and teasingly ran his tip up and down your throbbing folds.

"I..mhmm.. I want it rough... like...now."

The smirk on his face was inevitable. Leaning down he cought your lips in a rough kiss.

"Good answer."

Without warning he pushed into of you, making you scream out a moan.

"Fuck."

The both of you said in unsion as a shiver ran down of your spine. 

"You're so tight."

"You're so big."

Saying everything in unsion made the two of you giggle.

"Fuck.. you feel so good."

Derrick growled as he started pushing back and forth. Making you moan and whimper as you bit your lower lip.

"So... do... you...ugh-"

You threw your head back as his fingers found it's way back to your clit again. It made you literally gasp, looking back at him. Your walls automatically clenched around him at the sensation. Derrick moved a little to anckle you better, making you spread your legs more, which was giving better excess inside of you.

"Holy shit-"

You gasped as he perfecly trusted inside you, hitting your g-spot.

"Just like that!...fuck-"

Moans and groans left your lips as he kept fucking you in a quick but steady rhythm. It was perfect.

"Yes.. you like that?... you like getting fucked by me?"

He grumbled as he moaned occasionally as well. He was different now. But in the best and hottest way possible.

"Yes... I love it.. fuck me.."

You almost pleaded. Apparently he wasn't the only one acting different during sex. But you couldn't care less. 

The way he held you tight by your hips, playing with your clit with the other. The way you held on to the table, knuckles turning white. The way he kept trusting inside you, hitting the right spot, getting faster. The water of his body almost completely dried by now. The two of you moaning and groaning, it echoed in the chaining room, along with the sound of slapping skin. It was somehow just perfect.

"Shit-... Derrick, I'm close."

Those words. They just fueled him more. Cleching his jaw he quickened his pace. Inside you and at your clit, making you gasp.

"Come for me baby... clench around my dick."

It was all you needed to make you push to your climax. He could feel you tighten, signaling you were just about to come.

"I'm coming... yes... Derrick."

You moaned out his name as you came and it was all he needed to come too. Moaning out your name he got even faster making your orgasm last.

"So am I.. I'm coming for you, Y/N!"

And so he did. Filling the condom to the rim inside of you, as he now held on to both sides of your hips. Filling the room with his moans and a few of yours. You shivered as he slowed down before eventually stopping.

"Holy shit.."

You mumbled out of breath as he pulled out of you, laying his chest on yours, resting his head between your boobs. His damp wet hair razing along your chin.

"Yeah... that was amazing."

"It was."

"The best sex I ever had."

Your eyes instictivley widened.

"What?"

A scoff escaped him as he put his chin on your chest looking up at you.

"You heard me. It's true."

Derrick reasured you with a lightheaded smile.

"But you had so many, probably more experienced girls-"

"Doesn't matter. Non of them were you."

Another shiver ran down your spine but now simply from a few words.

"What are you saying?"

You had a feeling. A strong feeling. But you needed reassurance. You needed to make sure this wasn't just a big mistake.

"I'm saying... I like you. Like a lot. And.. I only ever wanna do this with you. Like couples do."

Your eyes widen once more, slowly proping yourself up on your elbows, making him push himself up to.

"So.. you have feelings for me?"

Derrick let out a humorless laugh.

"Yeah-.. a shit ton of 'em."

That made you laugh now as well, humourless, that is.

"Fuck... so do I."

Now in return his eyes widen.

"You do?"

You nodded with a smile spread arcoss your face.

"I do... and... I would love to be your girlfriend."

He was too stunnded to speak for a moment.

This was really happening.

He had to remind himself. But so did you. Never did you thought that this would actually happen.

"Shit.."

He mumbled with a breathless chuckle.

"..I would love to be your boyfriend."

Next thing you know his lips collapsed back onto yours, catching each other in a heated kiss.

You couldn't believe what just happened. But you were more than happy about it.

That night changed everything. You had a boyfriend now. A very hot and funny one. And you couldn't be more happy about it.

Tomorrow you'll have another date with him, almost marking your first date anniversary. Yet you two haven't put a label on anything. You were hoping that would change.

"Don't put so much pressure on it. Just go with the flow. Let it all happen," Sophie told you over face-time. She was currently folding her clothes. You were just playing some game on your Switch.

"I know. And I will. But... you know me. And you know how much I like him-"

She cut you off, "Still. It will get you nowhere. You know him. He's usually direct, right?"

"He is."

"So- there you have it. No matter if he asks you to be his girlfriend or not... Don't push it."

You sighed deeply. You knew she was right. But you hated it. Yet you didn't say anything. Pausing the game, you finally turned your attention to her. "Okay fine. I won't push it. I still might cry about it to you."

"I can live with that," she said with a soft smile as she was done folding her clothes and started putting them away.

"Good. You have too," you said rather mock serious.

"Oh, I know," your best friend said with a laugh.

The both of you continued chatting over as many things as possible before you got a message from Cody.

Cody: "Heyy, Y/N!! Just wanted to ask if I should pick you up tomorrow?"

"Ay, he texted me!," you said happily as you tapped on the message.

"What he say?", Sophie immediately wanted to know.

"Just asked if he should pick me up," you answered while replying to his text.

You: "Very sweet offer, but no need too!"

"That's so sweet of him," Sophie said while you sent the message.

"I know. That's what I just texted him."

Cody: "Just making sure! You're still fine with poorly made spaghetti for dinner, right?"

You: "Yes, Cody. I told you it's fine. I'm sure it will taste amazing!"

Cody: "You're setting your bar too high. But I appreciate it."

You: "I'm not. Just having faith in you."

Cody: "You're too kind ^^"

"What he say?", your friend was getting impatient with the lack of information by now.

"Can you stop being so noisy?", you said with a groan.

You: "Just honest <3"

Cody liked the message you last send.

"No. I can't. Now tell me," she said very impatient by now. So with a sigh you gave in and told her. All she said after she was filled in was; "You two are too adorable, oh god."

Cody: "I'll see you tomorrow then :)"

You: "Yep. 5pm?"

Cody: "Exactly. Have a good night! <3"

You: "Thank you! Have a good night too! <3"

You closed the message app and returned to the call completely now. Sophie and you kept on talking for a while just before deciding to actually go to bed now.

Putting your phone on your nightstand you sighed deeply. Everything was getting to your head. The fact it's been a month now since you started seeing Cody. The fact you get along so well, but never went intimate. The fact neither of you dared to put a label on this. You were overthinking. So distracting yourself you played some more games on your Switch until you fell asleep.

The next day came and it was basically just functioning on autopilot, until it was time to get ready. And heck you did. Taking an everything shower and shaving every spot you felt like needed too. Well, you knew you wouldn't need too. But you still did it anyway. It kinda helped you feel more confident.

Anyway you just wore something comfortable and casual because for this date because you two decided to just hang at his place. Eat some dinner he made, watch a movie and stuff like that. His dad would be gone for work pretty long, according to Cody. So you could only imagine what that could mean.

Standing at the front door of his house you hesitated on ringing the bell. Suddenly becoming hyper aware of everything. You realised though; no matter what will happen... you want this. A lot actually. So your panicking has no point. But maybe... you were more panicking over the fact that he could just like you in a platonic friendship kinda way. Shrew that. You shook that thought off and finally hit the bell.

It only took a few seconds before Cody opened the door. The smile on your face wide as he said your name, embracing you in a big hug.

"Come in. You look great," he said as he let go of the hug, letting you in.

No matter what you were wearing, he always made sure to compliment you. Because in his eyes you were the most beautiful girl he ever met. He never put it straight into words like that but made sure he meant every compliment. You could only hope he wouldn't say that to every girl.

"You keep saying that."

"And I'll keep meaning that."

You couldn't help but blush as you took off your shoes and your jacket.

"Let me get that," he said as he took your jacket and put it away. "I hope you're hungry," he said as he walked over to the kitchen. You following behind.

"Oh, starving," you jokingly held your stomach pretending to be.

He just smirked, rolling his eyes, "Well.. Spaghetti is done and I already picked a movie. How do you feel about Tangled?"

Your eyes widened. He remembered. You once were talking about childhood movies and you said that you were obsessed with Tangled. "Are you kidding me?", your tone showed that you were excited.

He smiled mischievously. Knowing exactly what he did there. And of course he remembered. He seems to remember every little detail about you. How you always start fidgeting with something when you're nervous. How you tilt your head back when you're dying of laughter. How excited you get when you talk about your favourite things. He knows.

"No. I am serious. I don't joke about your favourite things," he said, trying to snap out of his trance but somehow it didn't completely work.

"I- I don't know what to say.... thank you," you said speechless.

He smiled warmly, low-key satisfied about the affect he has on you. "Don't."

"Too late," you said softly.

After a moment of looking at you he collected himself again. Walking over the dining table that was already made he pulled back a chair, "Here. Take a seat."

You followed him and did as he said, "What a gentleman." A giggle escaped your body.

He scoffed as you pushed you a tat closer before walking over to look at you, "That's what they call me."

"Cody the gentleman Seale?", you asked with a laugh and furrowed eyebrows.

He shrugged and smirked, "Got a nice ring to it, doesn't it?"

You laughed and rolled your eyes, "Maybe it does. But I'm sure no one actually calls you that."

He laughed now too, "Maybe. But maybe they should."

Shaking your head you smiled.

Putting his hands up defenceless he walked into the kitchen to get your plates with food. "It was just a suggestion, you know."

"Oh, I'm sure," you replied, watching him get back.

"One for the lady..and one for the gentleman. Ha! See- it just rolls off the tongue."

"You're unbelievable," you said jokingly.

The banter between you two was easy. Just back and fort. Not pressured but natural. It was great.

Cody got a glass of wine each for the two of you to go with the food. After he sat down you started eating.

"Mhmm- Cody. I kid you not. This tastes amazing," you said as you swallowed the food. You weren't lying. Sure it's a simple dish but it still did taste better than he was leading on.

"You're flattering me-", he tried to brush it off.

"I really mean that. Keep it up and you can be my private chef."

He laughed almost choking on his food, "Your personal chef? Does that mean i get to spend more time with you?"

"Oh, definitely," you said playfully going along.

"Hmm, then I might consider."

You laughed, shaking your head as you went back to eating. The casual conversation picked up again. Talking about all sorts of stuff.

After you two were done eating you helped Cody clean the table, so you two could get to watch the movie faster. Honestly you couldn't wait.

On the couch Cody started the movie and you turned to look at him.

"I hope you are fine with me singing along to every song."

He raised his eyebrows, "Oh, you're that kind of person?"

"Oh, you can bet your ass I am."

He laughed and shook his head, "Okay. Alright."

You jumped slightly and on cue began to sing along to the first song. Cody honestly enjoyed that a lot. Sure, you were no singer, but to him you had the most beautiful voice.

It made him overthink everything now too. He honestly wasn't sure if jumping into a relationship was the best idea for him. Especially not that fast. But you two have been going out for a month now and he does know a lot about you. Basically everything. And the other way around too. Heck he even told you what his dad does. Maybe.. it was time. But not now.

The movie went on. You talked about your favourite songs from the movie. Your favourite scenes as a kid. How the things Mother Gothel mentioned in 'Mother knows best' actually scared you as a kid. And so on. He loved every minute of it.

As the movie processed, you seemed to scoot closer to each other. You didn't even ask but you did it anyway. Neither of you seemed to be bothered by it anyway. Leaning your head on his shoulder, you got into a more comfortable position. Instinctively Cody put his arm around your shoulder. As soon as you felt his touch you relaxed. It just felt so natural and right.

The movie continued but you barely could pay any attention anymore. Every body part that was touching him was on fire. Your skin basically burning for more. Something inside you pushed exactly that. Your hand slowly moved up to rest on his thigh. Your hand slowly running up and down, starting just a tat above his knee and stopping at the middle of his thigh. You felt him slightly twitch at the first touch but totally relaxing after some strokes.

By now he didn't care about the movie either. Just trying to figure out what it was that you were doing. He swallowed as he finally put his hand on yours, just when it wandered off a little too high for his liking.

"What are you doing, Y/N?", he asked with a rough tone. It was mostly strained than anything.

Your heart started beating faster. "Uhm- stroking you?"

He scoffed as he let go of your hand and moved his up to cup your chin, making you look at him, "I can tell. But why?"

You wanted to avoid eye contact so bad but there was just no way you could. Looking at his eyes you tried to stay calm, "I- just wanted to."

"Is that all you wanted to do?"

His sudden question made you baffled. Your eyes slightly widened before you shook your head, looking at his lips without being able to stop.

Cody stopped the movie before saying your name again, softly this time. Looking up at his eyes again he spoke up again.

"Can I kiss you?"

Your heart jumped but you answered faster than you could think about it.

"Yes."

No one had to tell him twice. He just got closer, until your lips were finally connected. The warm touch of his plum lips made you close your eyes and lean into it immediately.

It wasn't just a kiss. It was so much more. Everything unspoken between you two became clear now.

His hand moved from your chin to your cheek, the other holding your neck now. You prepped yourself up by putting your hands on his thigh. You both humming into the kiss. It became more sloppy now. His tongue entering your mouth and yours shortly followed into his. With a groan you pushed him down on to the couch, climbing on his lap and carefully sitting down. A low groaned whimper escaped his lips and dammit did that turn you on.

Breaking the kiss you two grasped for air. You both looked at each other with a sense of hunger that needed no words. And frankly neither of you felt like being able to talk. So you just went for it. Taking off your shirt, he had to swallow hard. He prepped himself up by his elbows now to do the same. You both discarding your shirts on the floor.

Looking at your bra and bare skin made him want you even more, if that was even possible. "God, you're beautiful," he said, licking his lower lip.

You couldn't help but crash your lips on his. Without even thinking you started groaning and grinding against him. Groans followed him shortly after.

"Fuck-", he mumbled between kisses and you could feel him get harder underneath.

Mumbling your name he grasped for air, "Fuck. I need you."

"Yeah?", you breathed out as you sat back up straight.

He pushed himself up, "Yes."

With one swift motion he made you two switch position. You laying on your back now and he was on top.

"Then undress me..," you said as you buckled your hips up. Without questioning he did. Taking your pants off and discarding them on the ground. Looking at your body, in your underwear, with a deep hunger.

Reaching for the rim of his pants he smirked, taking your wrist, "Not yet. Let me make you feel good, okay?"

You swallowed and nodded, replying with a horse tone, "Okay."

He put your hand to your sides and reached behind to open you bra. Taking it off, he threw it away, taking in the sigh once more. Through gritted teeth he growled, "How are you so perfect?"

You just huffed out a laugh, biting your lower lip and not saying a word.

Carefully he grabbed your boobs, playing with your nipples between his finger as he kissed you again. More sloppy and more desperate. Trailing down your neck and chest before taking in one nipple between his teeth.

Eventually you started moaning, not being able to hold back anymore. He was twirling his tongue around, playing with the other with his fingers. The sensation was already making you wet and buckle your hips up.

"Fuck, Cody," you groaned, throwing your head back.

"You like that?", he asked as he switched nipples.

"Hmm, yes..", you whimpered as you looked down at him.

He smirked as he looked at you, focusing back on his task at hand. Continuing just a bit before releasing your boob with a *plop*. One hand moved down and carefully slid under your panties as the other held your neck to give you a deep kiss.

Cody palmed you completely, putting pressure on you. The teasing was making your head swirl, groaning into his mouth.

"P-please..," you whimpered.

He smirked as he pulled back, "You getting impatient now?" His smirk was slightly provoking.

"Honestly? Yeah-," you said out of breath.

He chuckled, "So you're being honest? I love that. I guess, I gotta be fair then?"

You nodded and he pulled his hand out of your panties.

He got up to pull his pants down but left his boxer on. Climbing back on the couch he got rid of your panties. Basically salivating now he groaned as he got down.

"Are you sure you want this, baby?", he asked almost impatient himself now.

You bit your lower lip while nodding. "Yes. Yes, I'm very sure."

"Good," he grumbled before moving even closer down, "'Cuz I won't stop now."

"Good," you replied.

And with that he went straight in. Licking between your fold he hummed. Tasting how wet you already were turned him on.

"Hmm- so wet already, baby."

He went even deeper, licking up and stopping at your clit to suck you. You couldn't help but groan and throw your head back, moaning as he grazed you with his teeth.

"You taste so good-"

You felt over the moon, not able to control the pressure as he picked up his pace. You were a mess, looking down at him as you met his gaze. Fuck. Seeing him like that was so hot. You knew, you couldn't hold back any longer, so you gripped his hair, holding on for dear live. He realised you were getting close so he stopped which made you wince.

You wanted to ask him why he stopped but you quickly realised. Cody sat up straight, making his hard and dropping dick noticeable through his boxers. Hooking his finger behind the waistband he pulled it down, making his big throbbing dick spring free. That was honestly the hottest thing you ever saw.

Groaning you looked at his cock and then met his gaze. With a smirk he made sure his dick was hard completely.

"Fuck- you're so hot," you growled out.

He just chuckled and leaned down to kiss you. "So are you," he said after the kiss.

With his free hand he reached behind a couch cushion and to your surprise he pulled out a condom.

"Did you-?"

"Just in case, you know," he said with a defenceless shrug.

You just laughed and shook your head, "God. Just get it on."

He chuckled deeply before doing so. Ripping the package open with ease and pulling it over his dick, you watched every move.

"I'm gonna go slow, okay?"

You nodded softly as you took deep breaths. His dick was definitely thick and bigger than any other you had before. Not that you had many, but still. You knew going slow at first was the right decision.

And it was confirmed once he pushed inside. He did made sure you were lubricanted enough, moving his tip up and down a little, making you whimper, just before carefully pushing in.

The sensation made you moan. But so did he. It was something between a growl and moan honestly. Giving you instant goosebumps.

Cody carefully pushed further inside making you throw your head back as you moaned. Once he was inside completely you gasped and looked back at him.

"Ssshit~," you hissed.

"You good?", he asked reassuringly. Which was so hot.

Nodding you swallowed, trying to stay collected, 'Y-yes. Y-you're just p-pretty big."

He couldn't help but smirk while tilting his head, "Yeah? You're not used to that?"

Shaking your head your digged your nails into his back, "N-no"

He growled, aching his back as he leaned closer with his face. "No? You think you can handle?" His ego was pushed now a little but still his question was more meant in a concerning way. After all he did really care for you.

"Y-yes. I'll be fine," you grumbled as you just hold him by his sides now. No nails digging.

"Good," he slowly moved his hips back before going back into your tight pussy.

You couldn't help but whimper at the sensation. Cursing under your breath as he kept trusting in and out of you, slowly.

"I'm gonna be gentle," he whispers into your ear as he nipped on your earlope.

You slowly started to adapt to his size and the heat of you was rising. Making you awfully impatient by now. Within a beat you pulled him by his neck to make him look at you.

"I-it's okay. You can go as fast as y-you want."

Oh, he was loving this. He still needed to make sure.

"And you're really sure?"

No matter how much you loved the fact he always wanted the reassurance you needed him to just do so.

"Fuck, yes, I am."

Cody just smirked, giving you a nod as he started pounding faster. Picking up the pace carefully but real good, thrusting in a steady rhythm as he got deeper and faster.

Just as you thought it couldn't get and any better he moved his thumb to your clit, drawing steady circles. You couldn't help but gasp out, moaning his name as you looked at him.

"Fuck, yes- say my name, baby," he groaned as he picked up the pace for real now.

The sensation made you a complete moaning mess, letting yourself go underneath his touch completely. And god, did he love that. Letting his desires take over him as well. Being led by pure need and lust for you.

He kept pounding in and out of you, filling the room with various sounds like skin slapping, moans and groans.

"Yes- just like that, Cody- fuck-", you mumbled between breaths and other noises you let out. Honestly you didn't even care how loud you were being by now. Just being taken by the pleasure.

So did he, breathing out deeply as he kept slamming his dick inside of you, holding you by your hips now. "Fuck-," he groaned out your name, "you're so tight for me- you getting close, baby?"

You nodded madly and he smirked, moving his index and middle finger to your clit, "Good- then come for me-"

Wanting nothing more than that you agreed in a heartbeat. You two moving in a rapid but steady pace, pushing you two so hard to the edge that you almost orgasmed simultaneously.

"I-I'm comin'- Cody-", you tried to let him know but as soon as you moaned out his name you were done for.

He was so close, wanting you to hold your high, he picked up his pace. "Fuck- yes- I'm coming too-", he moaned out your name until he released into the condom. Filling it inside of you.

After another trust he slowed down before eventually stopping, making you shiver. Pulling out carefully he got rid of the condom before he collapsed on top of you, which made you giggle.

"Fuck-", you mumbled, which made him look up.

"What?", he asked with a grin.

"Nothing. Just- can't believe we had sex before talking about what we are.."

He chuckled as he pushed himself up, looking at you, "Yeah? I thought that was pretty obvious."

Laughing breathy, you pushed yourself up too, "Really?"

"Yeah," he said as he sat up now. "Couldn't you tell that I like you?"

"No- I mean- Yes, I could tell but... I wasn't sure," you explained as you sat up now.

"Well.. I do. And.. I'd like for you to be my girlfriend.."

The sudden smile on your face made it clear. You wanted nothing more than that.

"Yeah?- I would love to be your girlfriend," you said happily.

Not being able to hold back he got closer to kiss you again. This time it was a promise. A promise to stay by your side and be the best boyfriend possible.

"I would love to be your boyfriend," he said after the kiss, leaning his forehead against yours.

Giggling you gave his lips another peek. Leaning back he smiled at you and slowly got up, reaching his hand out for you.

"Come on. Let's get you cleaned up."

With that he helped you into the bathroom to get cleaned up. Getting dresses again after you two went back to your previous activity. Finishing the movie as a couple now.

That night you stayed at Cody's place. With not a care in the world.

The morning came and Sophie and you almost woke up the same time. The mornings usually go quiet until you both washed your faces and made your way to the kitchen to get breakfast. Your mother always does the breakfast whenever she sleeps over. Yes, you still live home but it's easer this way. After all you still go to school, better said college, and there is no way you can afford living alone. Even with a job. Anyway, as you two were now all alone, enjoying the food your best friend finally spoke up. 

"You already know what to wear later?", she tilted her head at you as she took a sip of her coffee.

It was so sudden you almost choked on your drink, "God, no. I'm basically sweating thinking about it."

"I knew it. But don't worry. I got you. We'll just have to see what ya got."

"Sure. I'm taking any help I get."

"I know that's right," she said nudging you. 

You two continued eating and chatting about stuff. Once you were done you cleaned everything away and got back to your room. Luckily it was a Saturday so no school. And since you two slept pretty long it was already around 11am. Just a few hours to go.

In your room you two immediately got to your closet. Looking through your stuff, already picking out your favourite pieces.

"Okay, right. He said casual, right?", she asked looking through your stuff. You just nodded and she picked up a dress you picked out. With a laugh she held it up, "Then we're not doing this! That's too chick. But very hot. Maybe that's something for another date."

That comment just made you snort and roll your eyes. Putting it away you held up another dress, "How about this one?"

She sighed and snatched it out of your hands, "No way. Too short. And fancy. I don't think a dress is a good option."

You frowned, "Why not?"

"It's just... trust me, okay?"

With a deep sigh you just agreed, "Fine. How about this skirt?"

"Better. But you don't usually wear skirts that much. Same with dresses, so I don't think these are good options."

Putting the skirts and dresses away you nodded, "You're right. Casual. So... how about my favourite baggy jeans and a cute top?"

She nodded as she looked at your favourite jeans. They might be baggy but they're still chick and casual. "More like it. We don't wanna seem too desperate, y'know? And you should feel comfortable. Like always."

Nodding you smiled softly, "True. But don't say we... you're not joining."

With a roll of her eyes she turned to look through your tops, "Same same. You know what I mean."

You chuckled and sat down on your bed watching her look through your clothes. "Sure."

After some more chatting and looking at outfit options you finally decided on what to wear. You decided to take a shower before actually getting ready. Taking no risks and stuff.

While getting ready you were listening to music and trying to let loose a little while talking with Sophie. But it all hit you once you were done and looked into the mirror.

"Fuck, I'm nervous, Sophie," you said as you turned to look at her through the mirror. She was standing next to you, fixing your hair a little.

"Dude, don't be. You got this. Just remember to be yourself. And not too desperate, maybe."

The last comment made you scoff and roll your eyes at her, "Ha ha, very funny. I won't. I'll just be myself... yeah..."

You tried to wrap your head around that fact while checking the time. "Shit. I gotta go. Don't wanna be late," you said as you went and grabbed your purse. She just nodded grabbing her things to.

"Guess that's my cue to get home then," she said as she picked up her bag. Turning to look at you she added, "Remember. Call me when you need me. I'll be there in a jiffy."

You smiled faintly and nodded as you hugged her from the side, "I know. Thank you."

And with that you both left your house. Her going back to her home and you going to the Café where you'll meet Cody.

The way to the Café wasn't too long but long enough to make you overthink everything. Not even your music could distract you enough. Arriving like 5 minutes earlier, you hoped you'd have some time to look at the Café and maybe get familiar with it, but to your surprise Cody was already there. Waiting. That's when reality hit. It's actually him. And shit he looks good. Once he registered you, you were approaching him, his face lit up with a big contagious smile. Smiling back you got closer, trying to stay as collected as possible.

"Hey, Y/N," his body demeanour showed that he was just as equally nervous as you were. But he was probably better at hiding it.

"Hey, Cody," you happily greeted back.

You hesitated for a moment just before you stopped in front of him. "Is a hug appropiate?", you asked slowly expanding your arms. 

Luckily for you he just huffed happily and gave you an approving nod, "Of course. Glad to know you're a hugger."

You smiled at his words and the way he expanded his arms too, embracing yo in a warm hug. God, he felt so cosy and compfy, it was almost intoxicating. Letting go again you looked up to him, because damn he was tall, and smiling, faintly. "I'm glad to know that you're not some creep." It basically just slipped. But it was true. You were glad that you didn't got catfished. 

He just snorted at that comment and nodded, "Yeah, me too... You had any experiences with that?"

You just shook your head, "Luckily not. But I don't wanna start a streak or something."

He seemed totally amused and nodded, "Totally fair." His voice was warm and better than you could've ever imagined. Not like you did, but.. you know. He shortly looked over your apperance and it didn't go unnoticed. It made you feel fuzzy inside, in the best way possible. After a beat he cleared his throat and added, "I hope you're down for some coffee."

Watching his hand vaguely point at the Café behind him, you nodded with a grin, "Yeah, totally. I hope it's good."

"Oh, the best."

"I'll be the judge of that," you said with a sassy tone to it.

Your attitude made him smile, seemed like he likes that. And man he did. With a swift motion he opened the door for you. "Alright. Looking forward to your feedback then."

With a slight bow, you scoffed and thanked him for holding the door, "Thank you."

Cody smiled, following you inside. "So you got some fancy order for a coffee you always get ?"

You just scoffed shaking your head, "Oh, nah. I usually just get a latte or if I'm feeling fancy a caramel latte. But that's just about it."

He nodded with a smirk, "Good. I like that. Caramel latte? Not sure I ever tried."

That answer made you stunned, "What? Well today is your lucky day because you better try it."

He just snickered with a grin. "Yeah? Alright, then you gotta try my order."

Turning your head to look at him you got all curious. "Oh yeah? And what is your order?"

He scoffed as he pressed his lips together. Almost like he was regretting his words and shortly you would know why. "Just an Americano," he said almost too quiet but followed with a scoff.

You couldn't help but laugh at his words. He also knew that was no special order. "Seriously? An Americano? That's even less special than mine."

He couldn't help but put his hands up defenceless, "Okay fine. But it does taste very good here! You gotta try."

With a wide grin you nodded and agreed faster than you could realise you didn't even really like espressos. But sure, Americanos are different. Kinda. "Okay, I'll try."

"Great," he said smiling. He loved how willingly to join you were. Walking closer to the counter he suddenly stopped in his pace. "Oh- you want any pastrie to go with your coffee?"

You grinned with a nod, looking at their options. Eventually you decided to just go with something simple. "Oh, I think a chocolate chip cookie would be nice."

He smiled widely, "Good choice. I think I'll get one too." And with that he did. He got to the counter first. Ordering everything you two agreed on and payed without a question. It made you feel good and fuzzy inside. Sadly it wasn't that normal nowadays. But you were more than happy that he payed. Obviously.

You two got your things and sat down at a corner table near the window. You sat down on the bench against the wall and he sat down in the chair across from you.

"So you wanna try?," you asked as you pushed your drink towards him.

He looked down at the way you did that, a smile spread on his face. "Of course. You gotta try mine then though."

You nodded and took his drink after he pushed it towards you. Then simultaneously you both took a sip of each others caffee. Even though espressos weren't your thing it wasn't all too awful. And Cody wasn't a latte guy either but he liked what the caramel did to him. Or maybe it was just the fact it was your favourite way to drink it.

"Damn, that's surprisingly good. A little too sweet for my liking but still...," Cody said as he pushed the glass back over to you.

You couldn't help but smile widely. "See. I knew you'd like it." Pushing his cup back you then added, "And honestly? Yours tasted better than imagined. Still not really my thing though."

He waved his hand and took a sip of his coffee to wash the sweetness down, "That's alright."

You did the same with your drink -just to wash the bitterness away, of course- nodding, "Guess we won't be fighting over our coffees ever then."

He laughed and nodded, "Yeah, guess so." The fact he was blushing over your comment didn't go unnoticed, even though he tried his best to cover it. You knew better than to say anything though.

And with that the conversation continued to flow easily. You two asking each other questions like what you do in life, basic get to know each other stuff and so on. It didn't feel too much like a strict first date though. More like a hanging out. And you loved it. It was all you hoped for.

You two just seemed to click so easily. And as you two finished your drinks and cookies, you were quick to agree to a walk through the park.

"I never went to this park before, to be honest," you confessed as you two entered the park. Walking side by side with a fair distance.

"Really? I love to go here. It's not that crowded," he said as he looked around.

You were easy to agree on that. It wasn't a huge park. Not like the one in the city centre. Or not like the one near campus. Well the campus of your college. The one he goes to turns out to be not that far from yours either. The park kinda connects your college to his. So one can only imagine how full that one tends to be.

"I can tell... I'll definitely remember that," you said as you looked from the park towards him with a smile.

His expression always seems to be soft when looking at you. Even though you can tell there is something else. You two sit down a near bench and decided to chat more.

"What got you to download tinder?," you suddenly asked.

He just scoffed with a nod as his gaze wanders off. "Well... I made bad dating decisions in the past and wanted to try something new."

"So you downloaded a dating app?", you said with a disbelieving scoff, tilting your head at him.

"Yeah... don't question it. I'm apparently no pro at the dating life," he said with pressed lips as he looked back at you. Slightly holding back a laugh coming to think of it.

"You don't tell— Me neither," you said crossing your arms as you leaned back against the bench, a soft scoff leaving your lips. "We're a pair, huh?", you said sarcastically but with a warm undertone. Like you were meant to tell him you actually like that.

He caught that but didn't directly comment on that. He just looked at you with a warm smile and said: "Yeah... we are."

That slight and comfortable confession hung between you two. Cody quickly picking up the conversation again. "So, why did you download it?"

You scoffed as you shook your head, "My best friend, Sophie, basically pressured me into doing it."

He smirked softly and nodded, "Oh, the good ol' peer pressure."

You laughed, nodding at him, "Yeah. Usually it brings me no good but... I guess, I was lucky this time."

His cheeks initially got pink. You couldn't help but find him adorable like this. "You were," he couldn't help but say playfully as he looks to the side, to look at you.

His comment made you blush now too. God, he was so easy with it. You couldn't help but feel over the wall as you two continued talking and kinda flirting with each other. Ever so slightly getting closer on the bench. Your knees merely brushing against each other. The night slowly started to creep in and even though you were in no place to wanting to leave, you said it anyway.

"It's getting late," you didn't dare saying it directly.

He scoffed as his knee touched yours. "It is," was all he said at first. "We probably should head back home," he added getting what you wanted to say.

Nodding you replied, "We should... but... we should definitely repeat this."

He was eager to agree, "Oh, definitely."

You were more than happy that he agreed so easily.

Within a beat he looked at you and softly asked, "Should I drive you home?"

Your eyes slightly widen by the sudden offer. But you were quick to relax your face. "Uhm— that would be nice. Yeah," you eventually agreed happily. You were in no place to refuse a nighttime drive. Especially when it meant to spend more time with him.

After getting up Cody reached out his hand to help you. You took it immediately and got up. You couldn't help but notice that his hands were slightly rough but soft due to putting on lotion, probably. You felt like noticing every detail. How he smelled of sandalwood and his own special smell. How warm his presence made you feel. How tall and pretty he was. How his hair fell so effortlessly into the right places. How the dim sunlight made his eyes shine. Making his freckles noticeable ... Stop it.

Letting go of your hand he nudged his head towards the path in front of you two, finally making you snap out of it. "Then let's go," he said as he started to walk, you falling in line beside him.

The walk was peacefully quiet before he spoke up, "You live nearby or don't have a drivers license?"

You scoffed as you looked at the ground, watching your steps, "Both, kinda. It was like a 20 minutes walk and I don't have my license yet. I really wanna get on that though."

He smiled warmly, looking to you, "Maybe I could help you. I'm like a pro driver. Just ask my friends."

You couldn't help but smile too, now looking up at him, "You would do that?"

"Oh, absolutely," he happily added.

"Thank you."

"Don't thank me until I've actually done it."

You scoffed, nodding, looking back forward, "Right. But still... that's very kind."

Something inside Cody twisted, making him feel warm and fuzzy too. Something he didn't even feel during the unknowing beginning state of dating Teresa.

He didn't say anything. Not a comment coming out but a soft nod as he leaded you to his car.

In front of the car he opened the door for you, like the gentleman he is.

"Thank you," you softly said with a bow of your head, getting into the passenger seat.

"You're welcome," he softly said back before carefully closing the door and getting over to the other side of the car to get into the drivers seat.

Buckling up he eventually turned to look at you. "So, uhm- where are you headed?"

"Right," you said as you told him your address.

Starting the engine you watched him closely. Something about him driving made you even more attractive. He started conversation again, you easy falling behind. Everything seemed so easy with him. You were sure you wanted to continue meeting him.

As you eventually arrived at your house, Cody stopped at the front porch and stopped the engine. He was already unbuckling his seat belt when you made him stop.

"You don't have to get up. You've proven that you're a gentleman enough already," your tone was rather playful, giving him a grin.

He chuckled, nodding before deciding to say something, more calm and serious now, "You sure?"

"I am. Thank you tho. For everything really. I had such a good time."

Either you were going crazy with how fast your own heart was beating or you were sure he was blushing. "So did I.. maybe... we can go on another date soon?", he carefully asked. He didn't want to overstep or feel too eager but he just had to ask.

And you were glad about it. Because you wanted the same. "Of course. I would love too."

"Good," he said before swallowing and being able to say more, "Uhm- I'll text you then?"

You nodded, as you made sure you had all of your stuff, "Please do." The smile on your face was bright as you unbuckled and got out of the car. Walking around it you gave him a wave and walked toward your front door.

Something inside Cody stirred as he watched you walk away. His body working automatically as he quickly unbuckled himself for good and ripped the car door open. "Wait-", he called out your name, which made you stop in your track and turn around only to see him step out of the car.

"What?", you asked softly, almost to stunned to move.

He got nervous now, way to overflown with the realisation of the scene he accidentally created. But he tried his best to play it down. "You can't just go without a hug."

Your whole body relaxes at his words, rolling your eyes with a relieving scoff as you walked back towards him, "Ugh- you're so right. What was I thinking."

He laughed as he approached you, "Can't believe you almost got away with that."

You laughed as you stopped in front of him. "Yeah, I feel terrible." Your tone was a little playful as you looked up at him.

"And to think you were the one who wanted to hug me first," he said as he opened his arms.

Without giving it a second thought you opened your arms too, going in for the hug. Cody immediately closed his arms around you, holding you tighter than he did at the beginning of the meeting. You knew it was a good sign.

After a moment of lingering in each others arms he was the one to pull away. "Goodnight," he said, adding your name to make it meaningful.

"Goodnight, Cody. Get home safe," you replied with a warm smile as you stepped back again.

"I will," his voice was soft as he watched you walk to the front door of your house.

Opening the door with your keys you decide to look back at him one more time and giving him a wave before vanishing into the house. Of course he waved back before getting in the car now. The door of your house closed and so did the door of his car. Both of you exhaling deeply.

You couldn't believe what was happening. You just matched yesterday and had your first date/meeting today. And it didn't feel rushed. Not at all. Maybe because you two went along so easily but whatever that is. You didn't want to lose it. You knew you wouldn't.

As soon as Cody got home he made sure to text you.

Cody: "Just got home! Hope you're having a good evening."

Cody: "Damn, that made me sound more like a grandpa than intended, but you get it."

You couldn't help but laugh at his message. He was so easily funny. You liked that about him.

You: "It's okay, grandpa. Happens to the best of us."

Cody: "Ha ha :|"

You: "Sorry. Had to use my opportunity. But I'm glad to know you got home safe <3"

Cody: "Thank you."

Cody: "Maybe we can meet tomorrow again? Like after college or something?"

Your heart fluttered. You basically felt over the moon.

You: "Of course. That would be nice :D"

His text came back immediately. Maybe he was too excited but he didn't care.

Cody: "Great! I'll text you then!"

You: "Sounds good!"

Cody: "Perfect. Then... have a goodnight! <3"

Your heart jumped. A heart? Coming from him. Oh, that's gotta be good. Your reply quickly followed.

You: "Thank you! you too, Cody. Have a good night! <3"

You wouldn't know but Cody was just as much of a blushing mess as you were. Both basically starstruck by the other.

The night came softly, the two of you thinking about the other basically nonstop. In a comforting and warm way. You knew luck finally got to you.
