A/N: In this chapter, a boxer by the name of Pete Sampson will be mentioned. This is a fictional character, not a real boxer. I hope you guys enjoy!

The next morning, Cody woke up with a smile literally plastered on his face. He felt Erynn's kiss on his cheek, and was hoping it would be a break through for them.

As he got up and started making breakfast, he saw a half asleep Erynn appear in the kitchen. "Morning," she said groggily.

"Good morning. You look beat."

"I'm so tired. I worked way to late," she said as she accepted the cup of hot chocolate from Cody.

"What time did you get in?" Cody asked.

"It was right about midnight," she said as she looked Cody in the eye. "By the way...you know that the party for Pete Sampson is tonight, right?"

"Yeah, I read that on the wall calendar. So, that means you'll home late again right?"

"Yeah...but I was kind of thinking...maybe you could, you know be my date?" Erynn asked hopeful.

Cody looked up from his frying pan, with a look of surprise across his face. "You want me to be your date for tonight?"

"I mean, if you don't want to you don't have to. Some of my co-workers know about you, and you could see what I do on a dai-"

"Sure, I would love to be your date," Cody interrupted. "You just tell me what time to be ready, and I'll be ready."

"Ok. Ummm...I have to be at the hotel ballroom around 7, so we should be out of here by 6:15."

"Alright, I can be ready by then."

Erynn spent the rest of the day getting last minute details ready for the party, and before she knew it, she was checking over her outfit for the party. She thought the white halter top and black pants made her trim figure stand out. Smiling, she went out to the living room to see if Cody was ready.

When she walked out of her bedroom door, she wasn't prepared for the sight in front of her. There was Cody waiting for her, looking handsome in black pants and a blue dress shirt. "Do I look alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, you look ho...I mean good. You look good." Erynn said as she started blushing as she grabbed her black jacket. She couldn't believe she was about to say he looked hot!

About 45 minutes later, Cody and Erynn walked into the hotel ballroom that would be promoting Pete Sampson, and his upcoming match. There were white Christmas lights hung appropriately and candles burning on the tables. "Wow Erynn, this room looks really nice," Cody said as he gave her a quick squeeze.

"Thanks," she said smiling and then noticed a figure walking their way. "Cody, that is my boss walking our way."

"Erynn, you did such a great job with Pete's gala," the woman said, sounding very pleased and then noticed Cody. "Who is your friend?"

"Thank you very much, and this is my husband Cody," Erynn said proudly. Cody beamed once she used the word husband. It was the first time she used that word.

"Cody, its nice to meet you. My name is Anita Haythorne, Erynn's boss," she said as she extended her hand.

"Its nice to meet you as well." Cody said politely.

The party soon got underway, and Cody was just in awe of Erynn. He was just amazed how well Erynn interacted with the other people. She looked like she was at home.

They left the hotel and were soon on their way back home. "Did you have fun tonight Cody?"

Cody turned to look at Erynn in the passenger seat and smiled. "I had alot of fun. You look like you really enjoy your job and were so natural at it."

"I do enjoy it. It may have long hours sometimes, but I like it."

"I never really knew you could do so much for a client. I never knew a person in Public Relations could do so much."

Erynn only smiled as Cody pulled into their apartment complex and parked the car. They walked to the apartment in comfortable silence, but half way to their destination, Cody slipped his hand into Erynn's. He was surprised she didn't pull away.

"I don't think I have ever been so tired in my life," Erynn exclaimed as they walked into the apartment and both of them instantly kicking off their shoes. "I think a nice hot bath is calling my name."

Cody was sitting on the edge of the couch, just smiling. Erynn couldn't have looked so beautiful than she did at that very moment. He was even more surpised that she walked up to him, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"What's this for?" he asked, the two of them still hugging.

"To thank you. I know that you really didn't have to come tonight, but I was glad that you were there with me."

"It was my pleasure," he whispered as he stood up, and looked down at Erynn. He then placed a finger underneath her chin to draw her closer, and softly placed a kiss on her waiting lips. Cody was surprised she kissed back.
