***Cody's locker room***
'-You still alive?' Cody asked me smirking.
'-With a little bit of help.' I said.
'-You know that Chris is gonna ground you, right?'
'-I know. So have you talked to him?'
'-In fact I did.'
'-And?'
'-Why you in such a hurry?' he asked.
'-Cody just tell me. I want the truth and fast.'
'-You sure?'
'-No I'm just fooling around. Of course I'm serious.'
'-Even if the truth might hurt you?'
'-Yeah. So let me guess. He thought I was some ring rat and he doesn't remember me, right?'
Cody started to laugh.
'-What's so funny?'
'-You. Always assuming the worse.'
'-So I was wrong?' I said hoping that I was.
'-Way wrong.'
'-Stop with the suspense and just tell me.'
'-Ok. I acted like you didn't told me about that nigh and I asked him if anything notable happened while he was on injury leave.'
'-Ok and?'
'-Well he told me about his parents blah blah and then stated to tell me about you. It was kinda hard to keep a straight face while he was telling me about me. He was like a lovesick puppy. He didn't understood why you left.'
'-Lovesick puppy? Cody try not to add lies.' I said.
'-I'm serious.'
'-Right.' I said not believing him.
'-Frankie I swear that I'm not lying.'
'-Fine. So?'
'-I asked him if he ever saw "that girl" again and he told me that you are. Of course I "looked shocked" and told him that the day you left him you got a call from me to come see me ASAP. I wasn't exactly lying because I did sent you text.'
'-You are the best.' I said and hugged him.
'-Wait there's more.'
'-More? Now I think I should be worried.'
'-Umm...He' s really into you. And when I say really I'm thinking of being in love.'
'-That's the funniest thing ever. He just saw me once or twice.' I said laughing.
'-There's a thing called love at first sight.' he said in a duhh tone.
'-I don't believe in that.' I said.
'-You should. Anyway what do you think of doing now that you know all this?'
'-I have no idea. I mean he doesn't even know that I'm not even 18.'
'-I don't think he's gonna be happy to know that you lied.'
'-I didn't lied. He only assumed that if I was in club I was definitely at least 21. Plus I was drunk'
'-Well, you should tell him.' he advised.
'-I will. Actually I'm suppose to meet him up in 45.'
'-What?' he asked.
I told him about the prank, and the hiding and the encounter with Ted and about the kiss.
'-You kissed him?' Cody asked.
'-Ummm, yeah.' I admitted Coyly.
'-You're so into him.'
'-Well he's hot.' I said laughing.
'-Typically Orton answer.'
'-Whatever. I'll call you later.'
'-Of course, I want details.'
'-I need to find Chris first and make peace. Or I won't be able to go anywhere.' I said laughing.
'-Good luck with that.' Cody said and I went to Chris's locker room.
Chris was getting ready to go back to the hotel when I stepped into his locker room.
'-Can we talk?' I asked and he didn't answered. Clearly he was pretty upset.
'-Fine I deserve it. I wanted to say that I'm sorry for stealing your clothes and hiding them.' I said and turned to leave.
'-What's with the apology?' he finally asked.
'-Well I don't want you to be mad at me.' I said.
'-I'm not mad at you but clearly I wasn't too thrilled when I saw that my clothes were gone.' he said.
'-Sorry. I promise I won't steal your clothes again.' I said.
'-Ok. You're forgiven.' he said and I hugged him. He was wearing cologne.
'-Going out?' I asked smirking.
'-How did you know?'
'-You're wearing cologne, duhh.'
'-Ohhh. So what are you gonna do tonight?'
'-I'm going to Starbucks in 35 and after that I don't know. Might ask Cody and Randy to keep me company.'
'-You're close to Randy, huh?'
'-Yeah. It's not his fault after all. '
'-You're a good kid you know?'
'-Really?'
'-Yeah, you do have your moments though.' Chris said chuckling.
'-Thanks. Do you think Adam is still after Randy?'
'-Knowing him probably he is.' Chris said laughing.
'-Need to bail him out. Any ideas?'
'-Ummm... Next time when you prank someone invite him to join you. He's still a kid.' Chris said laughing.
'-Will do. Now, I'll let you go. Have fun and I'll see you tomorrow.' I said and kissed him on the cheek.
'-You too.' He said and I left to find Adam. Apparently he was in his locker room too.
'-Can I come in?' I asked knocking on the door.
'-Is this another prank?' he asked.
'-No pranks or tricks this time.' I said, he opened the door, looked at me unsure then let me in.
'-So what can I do for you?' he asked.
'-Nothing. Came to say that I'm sorry for giving you a hard time lately and to invite you to help us with the prank next time.'
'-Really?' he asked and his face lighted up.
'-Of course. You're still my blondie.'
'-Awww, come here.' he said and hugged me.
'-Can I ask you a favour though?'
'-Ok.'
'-Can you let Randy off the hook this time?'
'-Why, you have a think for The Viper?' he asked laughing.
'-Aweeeeeeehhhh. No.'
'-Just checking. Chris would probably kill the guy who would try a move on you.' he said chuckling.
I looked shocked at Adam.
'-Please tell me that you're not seeing any superstars.' he said.
'-Ummm, no I'm not.' I said; not that I was lying.
'-Good. Because Chris will not be ok with that.'
'-What if he doesn't gets a say in that?'
'-He'll probably make that guy's life a living hell.'
'-Well thank God that I'm not dating anyone.' I said laughing but I was thinking at Ted.
'-What do you think about Ted?' he asked like he read my mind.
'-You just told me that Chris wouldn't like me to go out with one of his co-workers and now you're asking me about Ted?' I asked puzzled.
'-There's no harm in having an opinion.' he said but I could sense that there was something more.
'-Ummm, ok. You are weird.'
'-So what do you think?'
'-I don't know him very well but he seems nice.'
'-I don't mean like that.'
'-Than like what?'
'-Don't act like you don't know.'
'-Well he's a good looking guy but that would be about it.'
'-Then why were you kissing him?' he asked and I almost chocked with air.
'-Don't worry I'm not gonna tell Chris.' he added.
'-Thanks.'
'-So what's going on between you two?'
'-Well, nothing yet.'
'-Ohhh, there's a yet.' Adam said smkirking.
'-Come on. Do you seriously think that he'll go out with some who's not even 18?'
'-Why not. I mean you're hot and smart.'
'-Ummm..thanks?'
'-You know what I meant to say. But if you two decide to become a couple or whatever you have to tell Chris.'
'-Ok. Thanks for the heads up. Are you going out too?'
'-Yeah. Going to see Teddy?' he asked smirking.
'-Sort off. Then I'll ask Cody and Randy to come and keep me company. That if they don't go out too.'
'-Cody is not going. Layla's orders.' Adam said laughing.
'-Smart woman.'
'-You know that you're the only girl she trusts with Cody?'
'-I know.'
'-Well have fun and no swapping spit.' he jokingly advised.
'-Whatever. Have fun and don't let Frenchie and Jay get drunk.'
'-Let me guess, they have loud sex when they're drunk.' Adam said laughing.
'-Yeah and I need my beauty sleep damn it.'
'-Got it. See ya tomorrow.'
'-Yeah.' I said and left. I needed to get to the hotel and change. I had about 35 minutes to get to the hotel, get ready and go to Starbucks. I called a cab and went to the hotel.
Fuck only 25 minutes. I grabbed a black tank top, a pair of blue skinny jeans and some black, peep toe shoes and a leather jacket. 20 minutes later I was on my way to Starbucks. Every night before I go to sleep I'm having a latte macchiato from Starbuck so this wasn't something out of ordinary for me. Now I was preparing myself for the meeting with Ted. Let's hope it will go ok.
