Drumming up love

*Chop, chop*

Listen to the song while reading ⬆️

I walked over to the door slowly, trying to imagine who could be there, but when I opened the door I immediately regretted it.

"Hey Al, can I come in?" Cody stood there wearing my favorite sweatshirt of his, and all I could do was nod my head, and let him in.

"So, you're in a sorority now?" Why is he here?

"Ya, how did you find this place anyways?" I stood by the door as he stood inside the house staring at me.

"I have my ways." He finished with a wink and a smile, and proceeded to the couch.

"Can we sit? I want to talk again, Al." Cody was always one to talk things out; I loved that about him. But I don't love him anymore, or at least I think I don't.

"You can sit on the couch, but can we make this quick, the other sorority sisters might be back soon." I didn't have the heart to be rude about everything right now.

"How is your sister?" Cody was very close with Bree and she loved him.

"That's not making this quick Cody, but she is good, she just started 8th grade." I let out a small smile.

"Wow, wasn't she just in Elementary school?" He looked at me and smiled, I missed that cheeky grin.

"That was a long time ago. Ok what do you want to talk about." I practically clapped my hands and said *chop, chop* because I wanted him to say what he needed and to not be here when the girls come back, I don't want them getting the wrong idea.
When I talked to Cody at the café, I told him to give me time, here he is not even a week later talking to me again, reminiscing about old times. I haven't even given him a thought since I saw him at my door just now.

"The only reason we broke up was because of the distance right? Me living in Boston, and you here." Wow, I just knew that's why he came here.

"Cody, is that the only reason you came here to talk to me. I told you to give me time to think and you show up here saying all these things, trying to pull me back in." I didn't even know what to do at this point, kick him out or let him finish?

"Allie, I just can't stop wondering about how different everything would be if I stayed. Hell, maybe if I had stayed you would be having coffee with me instead of that other guy." Well, I guess I'm going to let him finish, I have nothing better to do.

"There is no way now to know what would've happened, all I know is that we broke up and I'm trying to move on." I don't even know if I'm trying or if I had moved on, but standing in front of him, trying just got blurted out.

"At least you're trying to move on, but I can't." I wish he didn't say things like that.

"Cody, I think you should go, maybe it's time for you to think things over."
I stood up and walked towards the door to make him leave, I don't know why I keep pushing him away whenever he tries to talk to me, but I just can't handle it. I feel like if he continues talking to me I'm going to get back with him and it's going to end badly. So I push him away for now.

I noticed him stand up and walk behind me. I opened the door and moved to let him out. He turned to face me and with one swift movement I felt his strong hands wrapped around my waist pulling me to him. I don't know why I let him do it but I couldn't bring myself to leave. He leaned his chiseled face towards me and we locked eyes. Before I could blink, his all too familiar, soft and plump lips brushed against mine in a delicate motion.
I stood there with my hands at my sides as he deepened the kiss.
I quickly came back to my senses and pushed him away. But as soon as I did that I looked behind him and saw the one man I was hoping showed up first.

My dimpled, ice blue eyed, coffee date,

Jesse Reynolds.

I'm sorry for all the short chapters, next one will be short too, but after that they get longer and more detailed. I'm so excited for you all to see what's to come in this book! Did you have a feeling Cody was going to do that? Did you think Jesse was going to show up? Let me know in the comments, and don't forget to vote💖 (Also I know the singer up top is not the real singer I just love his version☺️)
