Chapter 2 : Take my Breath Away

It had been a month now since Sofia and Cody became friends. They had become best friends and Sofia's team didn't like it.

It's a saturday around 2:00 pm. Sofia walks inside Starbucks and sees Cody waiting for her as usual. Smiling, she walks over.

" Hey Cody. Glad you can hangout."

" It's no problem. I like hanging out. So what do you wanna do today ?"

" Um, I was thinking we could go swimming at the community pool."

" Ok sounds good. Let's go."

They get in Sofia's car and drive to Central Seattle's community pool after going to get swimming clothes. Thankfully, hardly anyone is there.

After changing, Cody helps Sofia in the pool. Sofia looks at him in awe. It was the first time she had seen him shirtless. He obviously worked out.

She also noticed him looking her over. His brown eyes shimmering with thrill. Cody made her feel special and he is very special to her no doubt.

Sofia ducks under the water, and Cody follows. They play a game of chase underwater. Then come up laughing.

After swimming for about two hours, her and Cody get dressed again. Sofia's cellphone rings. It's Ashley.

" Hey best friend, wanna go hang out with me and the team ?"

" Not today Ashley. I'm with Cody hanging out. Another time."

" Sofia, you never hang out anymore. It's like he's more important."

" Right now, he is. Bye Ashley."

After hanging up, Sofia and Cody go to the bowling alley. Sofia ends up winning the game against Cody. Then they gets some burgers

and drinks.

Then Sofia takes Cody home. Getting to his house, he turns to her.

" Sofia, I had a great time."

" Me to Cody."

To her surprise, Cody leans in and kisses her. He blows her mind with his sweet lips. Ending the kiss, she smiles at him.

" Goodnight Sofia."

" Goodnight Cody."

He gets out and Sofia drives home. The next morning, Callie, Arizona, and Sofia go to church. Sofia invites Cody, and ten minutes later

he shows up. Sofia is amazed. Cody is wearing a black suit with a blue tie and looks very handsome. He takes a seat next to her and she

smiles.

" Glad you came Cody."

" Me to Sofia."

" Good morning everyone. Sofia Robbins Torres has something she wants to say."

Sofia walks up to the podium and drags Cody with her.

" Everyone, I want you to meet Cody Marquez. He's my boyfriend, and he just got here this year. He's a very sweet, caring man."

Cody waves and everyone claps in approval. Smiling, Sofia and Cody take a seat. Cody takes Sofia's hand, feeling confident.

Around 12:00 pm, service ends. Callie and Arizona invite Cody to eat lunch with them. He agrees and they go to eat at Pegasus pizza and pasta.

They are immediately seated and order their food. Callie is the first to speak up.

" Cody, you're a good guy. Me and Arizona are glad you're dating."

" Thank you Ms. Torres."

Then Arizona speaks up.

" You two seem very happy Sofia."

" Thank you Momma. We are happy."

After they eat lunch, they all go back to the Torres/Robbins house. Sofia takes Cody to her room then locks the door. She turns and kisses him with a passion.

They fall on her full size bed kissing. Sofia unbuckles Cody's belt. He looks at her worried.

" Are sure your ready Sofia ?"

" Yes, are you ?"

" Yes, but I need to tell you something."

" What ?"

" Sofia, I have HIV. I was born with it."

" I see...do you have a condom ?"

" Yes, here in my pocket. Let me put it on."

Cody sits up, and takes off his shirt, pants, and underwear. Then slips on the condom. Sofia then removes her clothes. They begin making love.

When they finish an hour later, Cody looks at Sofia then whispers.

" I love you Sofia."

" I love you too Cody."

Then they get dressed and Sofia unlocks the door. Both just thankful her moms didn't hear them.
