Meant For Each Other (Wattpad Version)

Love is in the air

Coop

The doctor released Cody from the hospital, and his injuries limited him on what he could do. Since it was Valentine's Day, I spent the evening with him.

"Okay, I brought movies, snacks, and beverage," I said, showing Cody what I brought. "Since you're incapacitated, I figure we can chill."

"Do you mean Netflix and chill?" Cody asked.

My expression changed as I stood there, speechless. Cody chuckled softly.

"Relax. I couldn't do anything if I wanted to with my injuries. Plus, you're not ready," Cody told me.

"I could be ready," I reasoned.

"Okay, take off your clothes," Cody suggested.

My eyes widened.

"You're not ready," Cody reasoned.

I exhaled.

"Coop, don't rush sex. No one says you need to lose your virginity before you graduate," Cody explained.

I walked over and sat down on Cody's bed. "I know, but we'll have it at some point," I mentioned.

"The mere fact that you can't say sex means that you're not ready. It shouldn't be an issue if you are," Cody reasoned.

"It's unnerving how you can read me," I commented.

"It's not difficult. It took me months to get you to date me. You thought I was playing a game," Cody mentioned.

"Well, you had a reputation," I reminded Cody.

"One that people started with a rumor. I don't even know how the rumor got started. One day, I minded my business, the next, I'm some player. I'm not into flings. I prefer more intimate relationships, which means communicating," Cody explained.

"I can do that," I agreed.

"Good, now come here and lie next to me while we watch a movie," Cody coaxed.

I moved over and laid down next to Cody as he pressed play on the remote control. That was the thing about Cody; I didn't feel pressured today anything I wasn't ready. Sex is a big deal.

Casey

What do you do for a girl on Valentine's Day when you never dated? Well, I will tell you what Larissa and I did. We played board games. Yeah, I know, unromantic, but it wasn't for us.

I moved my piece, landing on one of Larissa's properties.

"Ha, you owe me five hundred big ones!" Larissa exclaimed.

"You're such a crook," I retorted, handing her money.

"Yes, but this crook is rich," Larissa remarked, sticking her tongue out at me.

"That's mature," I commented, rolling my eyes.

"What can I say? I have the maturity level of a nat," Larissa responded.

We kept playing as Larissa took all my money. I suck at board games.

"So, when do you think it will happen?" Larissa asked as I rolled the dice.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I dropped the dice on the board.

"You know, it," Larissa said, emphasizing the word it.

I stopped and looked at Larissa. "Define it," I said.

"Well, sex," Larissa said.

"Oh, that it. Well, uh, are we sure we need to discuss it? I mean, why do we need to talk about it? What's the purpose of discussing it? Do we know for sure?" I rambled, avoiding the topic of sex.
