Brianna reached the door and unlocked the small opening in the door and held out two brown paper bags.
"It's food. Don't worry. They're not poisoned. I need the two of you alive." Brianna said
Cody went over to take the food from her hand that was holding the food. Brianna smiled at him before locking the door of the small opening. She blew him a kiss before skipping up the stairs. Cody shuddered and so did Jasmine as he walked back over to her. He handed her the one with her name on it before sitting down next to her. They both opened their respective bags at the same time.
"Wow. I'm having garlic bread for dinner. What about you?" Jasmine asked
"I got pasta. Two huge sets of it and a cup of milkshake." Cody replied
"Yeah… Feed the soon-to-be husband and starve the pawn. Smart move, stupid blondie." Jasmine muttered, sarcastically.
Cody chuckled as he heard what Jasmine was muttering. He took out the pasta and the milkshake and put it on the floor. He handed one set of the pasta to Jasmine as he took her bag away.
"Why are you handing me your pasta?" Jasmine asked
"We can share. I don't want you to starve here. I need the company. Besides, we have some unfinished business." Cody replied
Jasmine blushed as she accepted the pasta shyly and Cody smiled.
"You know, you're really cute when you get all shy." Cody said
"I-I'm not shy!" Jasmine said
Cody merely smiled and handed her the fork. The two of them ate the pasta and shared the garlic bread along with the milkshake. Jasmine was a little hesitant about sharing the milkshake because they both took sips of it and indirectly, they both shared their saliva. Cody noticed her staring at the straw and decided to tease her a little.
"You know… We just indirectly kissed." Cody said
"Wait, what? No… We didn't." Jasmine said, pretending to be unaware of what happened.
"We did. A lot of people said that if you shared your saliva with a person of the opposite gender that you're not related to, you indirectly kissed that person. In this case, we indirectly kissed." Cody said, smiling.
Jasmine pretended not to hear what Cody said and continued eating. After they finished, she put away the boxes and rubbish, putting it by the door. As she walked back over to her spot, she realized that Cody seemed to have dozed off. She chuckled lightly to herself as she sat down quietly next to him, so as not to wake Cody.
Thinking that they were going to have to sleep with the lights on, Jasmine figured she should just make the most of it. But, just as she was getting used to the lights, they suddenly switched off, bringing the whole basement into darkness, excluding the moonlight coming in from the basement window just opposite them. Even with the faint moonlight streaming in, Jasmine could see the staples that Cody received at the side of his head. She reached over and lightly traced the staples with her finger. She had to admit, when Cody got clocked with the bell, she was worried. Yeah, she didn't like him but he is a good-looking WWE superstar and she didn't want to see any of the superstars get hurt. She was lost in her own thoughts for a while until she felt Cody's hand touch hers, which brought her back to reality.
"Oh! Sorry… I didn't mean to touch your injury… and wake you at the same time." Jasmine said
Cody chuckled, "You didn't wake me. I was just resting."
"It's nasty, huh?" Cody said
"Does it hurt?" Jasmine asked
"It did… At first. But, I was unconscious when they stapled it up. And now… It doesn't really hurt." Cody replied
"I'm sorry…" Jasmine said
Cody laughed a little, "Why are you apologizing to me? It wasn't your fault. It was part of the storyline. I guess Randy thought to give it his 110%."
"You don't blame him, right?" Jasmine said
"Nah… It wasn't his fault. He was just adding to the drama. Besides, he did apologize about it for a whole week." Cody said
Realizing that her hand was now in Cody's hand, she didn't know what to do. Jasmine wanted to take her hand away but Cody's hand felt so warm and she didn't want to let go. Cody took this as permission from Jasmine and held her hand a little tighter. He brought her hand down from his head and placed it back on her lap before he brought both of his hands up to take off his mask.
"What are you doing?" Jasmine asked
"Taking off my mask. We won't be getting out of here so soon, right?" Cody replied, taking the mask off.
He placed the mask on the floor and Jasmine looked at his face.
"You look much better without your mask on." Jasmine said
"I do, huh?" Cody said
"Yeah. At least now when you smile, I won't think that you're plotting to kill me." Jasmine said
Cody laughed and reached over to tug a stray hair behind her ear, which made Jasmine blush and stiffen up. Not wanting Cody to notice, she quickly thought of something to direct his attention to.
"So, uh… We need to find a way to get out of here if you don't want to get married to Psycho Brianna." Jasmine said
"What are you suggesting?" Cody asked
"Let's try calling for help." Jasmine replied, taking out her iPhone.
She searched for Barbie's number and hit the 'call' button but it didn't go through.
"I can't get Barbie… I'll try calling Stu." Jasmine said
Just as Jasmine was about to hit the 'call' button, Cody took the iPhone out of her hand.
"You won't be able to get anyone at all even if you called each person a hundred times." Cody said
"What? Why?" Jasmine said
Cody pointed at the top of her iPhone screen, to the service icon area.
"No signal." Cody said
"Oh… Crap. She planned this whole kidnapping thing really well." Jasmine said
"When you're a psycho like her, that's something you got to know." Cody said
Jasmine nodded and sighed before saying, "We're never going to get out of here now…"
"That's fine with me… I won't mind being stuck in here with you, forever." Cody said, earning another blush from Jasmine.
"Really? Cody, no offence, but you don't really know me. For all you know, I could be a schizophrenic with a tendency to kill good-looking wrestlers." Jasmine said
Cody laughed, "Well, if you were that, Barbie and Stu won't still be around, right?"
"Shoot. There's no stopping you with your flirting, huh?" Jasmine said
"Why do you have such a defense?" Cody asked
She looked at Cody and said, "Because I've never had a boyfriend before… Not even a boy who likes me so my defense is up most of the time to prevent guys like you from hurting girls like me."
"What do you mean guys like me?" Cody asked
"Guys like you… With all the looks, the body, the charisma… The perfect boy that makes all the girls faint with excitement." Jasmine replied
Cody looked at Jasmine, "Really? I seem like that to you?"
"Well... Yeah. To be honest, I won't be surprised if you're just hitting on me cause I'm the only sane girl here." Jasmine said
Cody chuckled, "True… But, I'm hitting on you cause I've been wanting to do this for a long time."
"What do you mean?" Jasmine said
"The first time I saw you. I wanted to talk to you but you were always so busy, running around the backstage area. You wore your favorite dinosaur t-shirt, the one with the friendly-looking t-rex on it that said 'I'm not mean'." Cody said
Jasmine looked at him a little surprised, "You remember that? Goodness! That was like a year ago!"
Cody laughed and said, "I know. But, that was the first time I saw you and from then onwards I tried to get close to you but… You were either annoyed with me or busy."
Jasmine laughed a little, unsure of what to say. She had to admit though, her heart did flip a little when Cody laughed.
"So why do you like me?" Jasmine asked
"Because you're real. Unlike the other divas in the WWE roster... Nothing about you is fake. You have a genuine personality that only made me fall for you even more." Cody replied
Jasmine was smiling to herself with every word that Cody said. No guy has ever told her such things before and if she were honest with herself, she was starting to fall for Cody too. Sensing that this was the right time to make his move, Cody leaned in closer to Jasmine. And when she looked up, Cody kissed her on the lips. They broke apart after a while and he smiled.
"I've been wanting to do that since the first time I met you." Cody said
