Hey all! Well, I'm back a bit faster than normal. x3BiggestCodyRhodesFanEverx3 (better known as my good friend Becky) was dying waiting for this one. So I worked overtime to get it out. There are a few things in this chapter that surprised even me. When I started out writing it...didn't think some of this stuff would happen. But I like the overall outcome--it added some humor to life :)
Oh, and for those of you who look at it: my new myspace is still linked on my profile page. A couple of you have added ME as a friend and not the fanfic one. It's cool, just letting you know in case you meant the other one--cause that's the one with everything from here on it. And all of the wrestlers are hyperlinked to their homepage (or official website) now. So if you feel like checking those out, have a blastyblast!
A big thanks to my faithful reviewers: x3BiggestCodyRhodesFanEverx3 and 101mizzpoet101. You girls rock! Special thanks to: sideways anger, 101mizzpoet, and emmiline23 for naming this one of their favorite stories. I know I've said this before, but that's a big compliment. And to my favorite Cody Rhodes girl: x3BiggestCodyRhodesFanEverx3--thanks for the add to fav authors. Haha, even tho I think you're a bit biased? Maybe so? Haha, kind of kidding.
The title for this chapter is a song by Test Your Reflex. I hope you like the chapter (I know YOU will Becky, haha) and leave some reviews. Especially since I worked so hard to get it out quickly! ;)
Cody tried to roll over, only to realize Sarah had curled into his side at some point during the night. He smiled thinking about their make-out session. I'm falling for her—hard and fast. God, I wanted to last night. I just don't want her to think I only want her for sex. She's not just some ring rat. Cody was pulled from his thoughts when he heard Sarah moan into his shoulder. He looked down and watched her stir.
Sarah didn't want to wake up—she was having an amazing dream about Cody. She wiggled a bit and remembered last night. She snuggled closer to Cody as she replayed the late night events. Maybe he doesn't like me. I'm probably not good enough for him. Why else wouldn't he want to have sex? Sarah sighed and heard Cody laugh. She tilted her head up, raising her eyebrows at him. Cody started rubbing her arm slowly, "That tickled." Sarah smiled and started rubbing circles on his chest.
Cody couldn't take it anymore. "Sarah, I think I'm falling in love with you." Sarah leaned up on her elbow, "I'm pretty sure I'm already there." At this Cody pulled her on top of him and brought her face down to his.
Downstairs, Brittany started to wake up. She smiled realizing she was still lying on top of John and that his arm was draped across her. Brittany looked over to the loveseat, where Randy and Ashley were still sleeping. She carefully got off the couch and covered John back up with the blanket. He rolled to his side, slightly curling up. Brittany bent over and kissed his cheek before walking to the kitchen. She couldn't help but think about what had happened on that counter. Quietly, she got some juice and went out to the backyard, grabbing her book by the door on the way out. She went over to one of the deck lounges and got lost in her reading.
John woke up as his body told him Brittany had disappeared—he missed her warmth. Where did she go? Man, it felt so right holding her last night. I could do that for the rest of my life. He got up going to look for her. He went to the kitchen and didn't see her in there; he figured she must be upstairs and decided to try there. John joked at all the pictures of the girls on the way up. He was surprised to see a picture of the three of them with Dave Batista, Matt Hardy, and The Undertaker. Apparently they really do like wrestling. Smackdown fans as well…we'll have to get a picture of all of us to add to this wall.
He continued up the stairs and saw four doors. Luckily, the three bedroom doors were decorated with the girls' names, pictures, and whatnot. Brittany's door was open and he poked his head in, but she wasn't there. He smiled smugly when he saw a magazine poster of himself taped to one of the walls. John took a few steps in and observed the room. She had several framed photos scattered across the room, a poster here and there on the walls, and a bed that looked more comfortable than his at home. I feel so calm in here. She's so laid back—I love it. Apparently she can be high maintenance though? John just noticed the vanity by the window with products scattered over it. She doesn't look overdone. Why does she need all that? Women. He decided to go back downstairs to look for her before he got caught snooping. After looking a while longer he went back to the kitchen to get something to drink and noticed she was outside reading. John chuckled and went out to the backyard.
Brittany was so engrossed in her book that she didn't hear John come out. As he got closer, John noticed she hadn't look up yet and cleared his throat to get her attention without scaring her again. Brittany turned in his direction smiling, "Hey you." John was in awe of her. The sun was shining on her, and she looked unbelievable. "Good morning. Sleep well?" Brittany nodded as she closed her book and moved her legs so John could sit. They sat there a while talking and joking around before deciding to start breakfast. Brittany was surprised when John told her he could cook, and she couldn't wait to see what he could do.
Ashley woke up to Randy kissing her cheek, lips, and neck. Grinning, she opened her eyes, "Well good morning to you too." Randy didn't say anything but rather rolled her onto her back so he was on top of her. They stayed just like that, alternating talking and kissing until they heard John and Brittany in the kitchen. They decided to join them and figure out what was going on between the two of them.
Ashley stopped in the doorway with Randy right behind her. The couple grinned at the sight before them: Brittany was mixing what looked like pancake batter, and John had his arms wrapped around her waist, resting his chin on the top of her head. Randy started to say something but stopped when he saw John whisper something in her ear and give her a quick kiss on the neck. Ashley moved into the room, "Hey guys. What are you doing?" Surprisingly, John didn't move away from her but replied, "Making breakfast." Randy jumped, "Yes! I love it when John cooks for me!"
Ashley couldn't help but laugh, "Do you two want a moment? I didn't realize it was like that." Brittany, who was taking a sip of her juice, laughed and started coughing due to the liquid entering her lungs. Randy tried his best to look angry, "Very funny." Brittany smiled, "I don't know. There was that one gay segment you two had." John lightly smacked her butt, "Shut up. You know that was scripted. Besides, I told hi I didn't roll like that." Brittany winked at Ashley, "Yeah maybe. But the chemistry was undeniable." John stuck his finger in the batter, "Oh, you're gonna get it now!"
John smeared the batter on her nose but couldn't duck fast enough as she got his cheek. The playing quickly turned into a fight and Randy and Ashley joined in. The four were covered in pancake mix and had somehow contained the mess to the counter. Randy laughed, "So, I need a shower before breakfast now. Want to conserve water and take one with me, Ash?" She grinned and Brittany knew she was plotting. "No thanks. I will, however, race you." Brittany saw the nudge Ashley gave and turned to run with her, "Come on, Cena!" With that, the girls bolted out the door towards the pool and stopped to look for the boys. John smiled and ran after them with Randy not far behind. Brittany and Ashley screamed and jumped in, just barely missing getting pushed in by John and Randy. The two couples played in the water, never once wondering where Cody and Sarah were.
Cody and Sarah's make-out session had escalated, and Sarah was without her shirt now too. As she reached for his pants, Cody grabbed her hand. "Wait, Sarah. I don't want you to think this is just about sex because I really do like you." Sarah leaned her forehead to his, "I know, but I really want to do this too. We've established how we feel already. What are you worried about?" Cody smiled, "Nothing now." With that the couple resumed their kiss. Soon, all clothes were removed and scattered across the floor. Cody and Sarah made love for almost two hours before collapsing.
Sarah looked over to the clock and giggled, "I wonder if they're still asleep." Cody heard a scream come from outside, "I'm guessing not. We should probably go join them before they come up here." Sarah groaned, "I suppose you're right, but maybe we should take a shower first?" Cody looked down with a matching grin, "Well let's go then." He picked her up, carrying her to the shower for once more go before the couple made their way downstairs to join the rest of the group.
