"No one is meant for me." Its as easy as pie. Even though Sydney Michaels was a beautiful 23 year old woman, she has had her fair share of heartache. She barely knew her mom, and lived with her grandparents her whole life. Sydney's grandmother finally told her when she was ten that her father was WWE superstar, Shawn Michaels. The two met about a month later, and have been close ever since. In all of Sydney's 23 years, she has only seen her mother one or two times.
When Sydney was 20, she began an abusive relationship with Derek Capshaw. She knew Derek from college, and he was mean and abusive. Finally, about a year ago, Derek beat her to a bloody pulp and was eventually sent to prison. This made Sydney especially weary of men.
As she was walking backstage of the locker area, Sydney was looking for her dad. She was definetly not paying attention when she bumped into a young, good looking superstar.
"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry!" Sydney was sitting on the floor, very embarrassed hoping the good looking man would walk away.
"I should be the one who is sorry. I am the one who knocked you down", Cody Rhodes said to Sydney as he extended his hand to help her up.
"Thanks for helping me up", Sydney said with a smile. Suddenly she felt very shy. "My name is Sydney Michaels", and extended her hand.
"I'm Cody Rhodes. Its nice to meet you." Cody took her hand and smiled. He thought this woman was gorgeous. "I'm going to guess that you are Shawn's daughter, right?"
"Good guess." Sydney found herself joking with Cody as the two continued their conversation backstage. She was surprised how easy it was to talk to him. Before she knew it, a half hour passed by, and Shawn found Sydney.
"There you are sweethart. I was starting to get worried", Shawn said to his daughter as he pulled her into a hug. "Its ok daddy, I have been talking to my new friend Cody", Sydney told her dad as she smiled at Cody. Cody smiled back.
"Well I am ready to go back to the hotel if you are Syd." Sydney looked reluctant at her dad.
"If you like Shawn, I can take Sydney back to the hotel. We were actually just talking about maybe grabbing a bite to eat, weren't we?" Cody looked at Sydney and smiled. He made a face to tell her to agree with him, and she did.
"Yes dad were were. I can meet you back at the room later." Sydney gave her dad another hug and kissed him on the cheek. "Don't wait up."
"Alright you guys have fun. Be safe." Shawn headed toward the door, leaving Cody and Sydney in the hallway.
"Cody, thanks for that little save back there. I swear sometimes he still sees me as a little kid."
"Well actually Sydney, I am kind of hungry. Would you like to grab something to eat?", Cody asked Sydney hopefully. She had beautiful brown eyes, and gorgeous shoulder length brown hair to match. He was happy to see a smile come on her face.
" Yeah Cody, that sounds nice." Sydney's smile got even wider as the two walked arm and arm to the parking lot to find Cody's rental car. For the first time in a year, she felt completely comfortable around a guy. Maybe Cody was her Mr. Right. Only time would tell, but for once in her life, Sydney couldn't wait to find out.
