#trap house

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.

You've never been a dating app kinda girl but since you don't seem to meet people the normal way you tried it anyway. And your best friend Sophie kind of pressured you into doing it. She's sleeping over and you two sit in your pajamas on your bed. You just finished doing your account and you two are now swiping your way through.

"Maybe I'm being too picky," you said as you basically only swiped right to like two guys after what felt like hours.

She just laughed and nodded, "Oh, you definetly are. But that's alright. It's good you're taking this serious."

You just nodded as you looked at another profile. "I mean... it's hard when a guy writes 'The boss' in his bio. That's a no for me," you said swiping left.

Your best friend just laughed and nodded, "Yeah, no. That gives me the ick."

Nodding you looked at her not looking at the next profile yet. "Right. And it seems like none are my type. Like where are the cute, brown haired, tall guys at?"

Her eyes widened as she looked at your screen, her smirk growing as she giggled like an idiot, "Girl, look at your fucking phone."

You almost got scared, looking at it with confusion but that all dropped, your mouth widening. The guy on the screen was literally your type.

"Where have you been, Cody?" You jokingly said as you read his name and checked his profile. Everything written and every picture he had attached just spoke to you.

"He's perfect for you," your bestie said in a beat.

Laughing you nodded as your hands started trembling, "God, this feels too good to be true. So I just-?"

"Yes, you just swipe right!"

With a laugh you did, "Okay. Okay." Your heart was beating uncharcatically fast. But it went even faster as the screen showed that you two have matched.

"No fucking way. No fucking way, Y/N!", she exclaimed way too excited.

"He matched me," you said in a whisper as you looked at her.

"Of course he did! You two would look so cute together!"

You just giggled as you nodded literally freaking out with her. But then your phone signaled that you got a message. "Shit," you mumbled as you looked at your phone.

"No way, he texted. Open it!", your very supportive friend encouraged you.

With a deep breath you did.

Cody: "Heyy there! Glad to see we matched :D How are you?"

"Oh my god, he is so polite. Don't mess this up, girl."

You just groaned at her words as your hands were literlly shaking. After all you had no clue on how to do this.

Y/N: "Heyyy right back at ya! I'm glad about that too xD I'm doing good! How about you?"

His answer came almost immediately.

Cody: "I'm doing great! Thanks for asking back."

For a moment you looked at Sophie and feared the conversation was done but before you could say anything he send another message.

Cody: "I'm gonna be completely honest with you.. I literally just downloaded this app so I'm super bad at this, but I'd really like to get to know you... in person, if that's not totally too creepy or too early. I'm just more of a in person guy, y'know?"

You eyes lit up as you read his message. "Oh god, I might be in love already."

Your bestie laughed as she hit your shoulder, "Calm your boobs, girl. But... I get that."

With a laugh you replied.

Y/N: "Totally in on that with you. Just downloaded the app aswell! I'm all in for a personal meeting. Gotta make sure you're not a 50 year old weirdo and stuff XD"

"You did not," your bestie rolled her eyes at you.

You just laughed it off, "What? I'm serious." Sophie was about to say something when a message got back.

Cody: "Oh, totally! Gotta check the same, y'know ;)"

"Ha! See. We totally share the same humour."

She groaed as she rolled her eyes, "Of course. Actually glad he does."

That indirect compliment actually made you smile widely.

Y/N: "Absolutley. So, Cody. How did you imagine we should meet?"

Cody: "Good question. I didn't think that through honestly... But! I'm open for anything. Café, restaurant, a walk through a park or even the movies? You name it."

Y/N: "Flexible I see? That's good. Well.. technically I asked you but... I'll say either Café or a walk through the park."

Cody: "Fair. Then I'll say we do both."

"Oh my. He's good," your bestie was smiling. You instinctively joined her.

"He is."

Y/N: "Sneaky. I'm down."

"Should I ask him when?" you asked your friend as she nodded.

"I mean, yeah."

You were just about to ask but he was quicker.

Cody: "Amazing. I like that we can agree so easily. But I think that must be further determined once we actually meet... so.. you think tomorrow is too early or are you a straight to the point kinda girl anyway?"

Y/N: "Definitely. Straight to the point.. or desperate... whatever ya wanna call it haha xD"

Cody: "Ha okay XD your words though, not mine!"

Y/N: "Haha yeah ... maybe shouldn't have said that."

Your bestie literally winced, "Dude, you gotta stop."

"Calm down. I know what I'm doing."

"Sure you do," she said very sarcastically.

Cody: "Nah, it's fine. I like that you're being honest ^-^"

Your heart literally melted. He was perfect. With a big smile you basically shoved your phone in Sophie's face. "See! He likes that."

She just rolled her eyes, "That's insane. And I really can't believe you two made up a date within seconds."

"Well if the boot fits."

Cody: "I know a very nice Café near a park! I'll send you the address and let me know if you're in, ok?"

Y/N: "Sure thing!"

Within a minute he send you the address and you looked it up on maps. "That's actually very cute, my god," your bestie chimed in as she put her hand on her chest. And honestly. It was a very small, cute and cosy Café near a very beautiful park that must be blooming in this spring weather.

"He's romantic. I might have hit a gold mine."

"I wouldn't get my hopes up too high, but he does seem great," she couldn't deny that.

Y/N: "Oh, I'm in! But just to make sure... normal fit is okay?"

Cody: "Ha, yeah! Wear whatever."

Y/N: "Oh, don't give me ideas or I'll come dressed up as a minion or something."

Cody: "Oh, yeah? Then I'll come dressed as one too xD"

"He is willing to join?!? I'm lost for words," your best friend said as she collapsed on your bed. It just made you snicker as you texted him back.

Y/N: "I love your dedication to join me xD but don't worry... I'll be wearing something normal."

Cody: "Thank god. I'm not sure where I'd get a minion costume so last minute."

Y/N: "Oh, I'm sure you would have found something! But no need to worry about that."

Cody: "Good. Then.. I'll see you there tomorrow? Say does 3pm sound good?"

Y/N: "Yep. Sounds like a date ;)"

Cody: "Perfect! No minion fit though, right? xP"

Y/N: "Yeah. Normal fits! :P"

Cody: "Haha, great. Then... I'll see ya tomorrow!"

Y/N: "Yep. See ya tomorrow! <3"

"A heart?! Seriously?," Sophie basically jumped.

"What? I always do that."

"But not with someone you'll meet for the first time tomorrow!"

"Why not? He's cute, nice and funny. I wanted too," you tried to defend yourself.

She just groaned, rolling her eyes. "Yeah, no. That's not— you know what? Whatever. You do you."

You laughed as you rolled your eyes, "Thank you."

And with that the texting kinda stopped but you went on his profile again. You couldn't stop looking at the few pictures he had.

God, you were obsessed with him already. Nothing could make you think straight. "Sophie, I might not be able to act normal tomorrow."

She just bursts out laughing, "Oh, I know. That's why I need details of how it went down. Or better... I'll watch you two."

You laughed with wide eyes looking at her, "Oh hello no. You're not getting any near me and this cutie. Don't want you to ruin anything on the first date."

She put her hands up defenceless and laughed, "Okay, alright. Fair. But seriously? If you need anything. I'll be there within minutes."

You just nodded as you took one last glance at your phone before putting it on your nightstand. "Deal. Thank you for this."

"No need to thank me," she said nudging your side. "So... ya done looking for more matches?"

"Clearly," you said with a laugh. "I'll just see how this goes tomorrow."

She nodded as she layed down in your bed, you mirroring her move. "That's fair. He's really cute, Y/N. I know this will go well," she said as she looked at you.

With a sigh and nod you just replied, "I sure hope so."

And after some more chatting you both eventually went to sleep because honestly, it was very late already and you had a big day ahead of you.
