A/N: I'm BAAAACKKKK!! Here is Chapter 9. It's a good one if I do say so myself. There is a little curveball thrown into Cody and Kelly's relationship. You'll have to read to find out. Enjoy!!

Cody awoke the next morning with Kelly in his arms. He still couldn't believe that just a few hours ago, he became the WWE champion. He was snapped back into reality when he felt his RAZR vibrate. "Hello?" Cody answered groggily. "Cody, it's Stephanie McMahon." Answered the voice on the other line. "Hi, Steph." Cody answered. "The reason why I'm calling is that I've scheduled a meeting with you. Could you please come to my office?" She asked. "Of course." He answered. Cody snapped his phone shut and dressed quickly. He looked over at Kelly. He found some paper and wrote her a note telling her his whereabouts. He kissed her softly on the forehead and dashed out of the door.

Cody drove his Escalade to the WWE offices. Stephanie's receptionist led Cody into her office. He looked and saw someone else sitting in the other chair. It was Candice Michelle, the WWE Women's Champion. He then looked up at Stephanie. "Cody, Candice. I'm glad you both could make it. There is actually a reason as to why both of you are here." Stephanie said. Cody and Candice looked at each other. "As you know, Triple H and I were involved in an angle where he and I were married, on screen at least. And he and I were also WWE and Women's champion. I want to relive that, in you. Starting immediately, you two will be involved in a storyline where you guys will be in love." Stephanie told them.

Cody's jaw dropped. "Steph, you can't be serious." He said. Stephanie nodded. "Yeah, I am. I know you're with Kelly Kelly but this is too good to pass up. If you don't go through with this storyline, I will strip you of the WWE title." She said. Cody was furious. He couldn't believe that Stephanie would do this. "Look Cody I'm sorry but it's business." Stephanie told him. Cody sighed. "Ok, I'll do it." He said. Candice looked at him. "I'm sure Kelly will understand." She said.

"It's not like we're really going to be dating." Cody didn't know what to believe. He couldn't help but think that Kelly would be so hurt when she found out. He didn't want to hurt her; he didn't want to become another John Morrison to her. She meant the world to him. After he was dismissed. Cody got back in his car and drove back to the penthouse. When he arrived, Kelly met him at the door, wearing nothing but a little white tank top and pink Victoria's Secret boy shorts. "Hey." She said. "Hey." He replied. Cody wrapped his arms around Kelly's waist and kissed her softly.

"How did the meeting go?" Kelly asked. Cody sighed. "It was alright I guess. Candice was there." He replied. Kelly arched her eyebrows. "Candice was there? Why was Candice there?" She asked. Cody couldn't lie to her. He had to let her know that Stephanie McMahon had set up a storyline where he and Candice were to be a couple. "Stephanie wants me and Candice to start an angle where she and I have to act like a couple." Cody told her. Kelly's heart sunk.

She didn't believe the words that came out of his mouth. "What?" Kelly asked. Cody could see that Kelly was getting upset. "Kelly, I just want you to know that I'm still with you. This is just an angle. I love you and only you." He said to her. Kelly knew that Cody loved her but she couldn't shake the fact that this was bothering her. Just then, Cody's cell rang. "Hello?" He said into his phone. "Hey bro." Said John Cena. "Hey" Cody responded. "You haven't forgotten that today is the rehearsal dinner have you?" Cody shook his head. "Nah, of course not. Kelly and I will be there. See you tonight." Cody said then he hung up. "That was John, he was just reminding us about the rehearsal dinner tonight for he and Torrie. "Let's just get ready and we'll talk later." Kelly said. Little did Cody and Kelly know that a certain brunette diva was also invited to the rehearsal dinner.
