Hey you're back! Sit back and enjoy chapter eleven. Try to keep up. We're still going to be in Cody's point of view now. Just keep in mind that the Maria I am referring to is Hardcore Holly's baby sister. Sorry it took so long guys. I have MAJOR ADD, and I've been busy with school.

American Dream

I woke up, feeling strangely energetic. I rolled over onto my side to look to my right and there was the reason. I had forgotten that Maria was even here with me. I kissed the top of her head and watched a small smile appear on her face. I rolled back onto my other and gently got out of bed so I didn't wake her up. She looked so peaceful when she was asleep. I snuck some clothes out of my dresser, snuck into the bathroom and quickly got dressed. Ten minutes later, I emerged from the bathroom dressed and cleaned up. I snuck back around to the kitchen and started to make breakfast for Maria. Twenty minutes later, I slowly and carefully walked into the bed and gently placed the tray on the bed. She stretched and her eyes fluttered open.

"Morning Cody."

"Morning, beautiful. I made you breakfast."

"Aw, you didn't have to do that."

"I know. But I felt like doing it. I figured you could use something nice after what I did to you."

"Is this kind of like your apology?"

"Nope. No one thing can ever take the place of how sorry I am."

"Oh. Really?"

"Yes. You have no idea how sorry I am. I jumped to conclusions and I knew I shouldn't have. It's just sometimes when I fall for someone I tend to get possessive when we aren't even together-"

"Shh Cody." She put her finger to my lips. Even her skin was silky smooth, it was so tantalizing. "I know Cody. It happens sometimes, I understand. Are you telling me that you are falling for me?"

"Yes. Ever since I saw you, I was captivated. I knew right then and there that I wanted to be with you."

"Wow, Cody. That's really sweet." I just stared into her eyes, smiling. "What, Cody?"

"Nothing. There's just something I want to do."

"What's that?"

Without another word, I brought my face to hers and kissed her. She jumped a little but then deepened the kiss by bringing me close to her. I ran my hand up her leg, feeling every inch of her soft, smooth skin. She gasped slightly and I took the advantage to slip my tongue into her mouth. I heard someones phone start to ring and I groaned.

"Crap, that's mine Cody. I'm sorry." She kissed me lightly and ran to go get her phone. I flopped down onto my stomach, cursing whoever was calling at 10:30 in the morning. As she was walking and talking on the phone, I could tell she was talking to Bob. Now I wasn't really angry, just kind of disappointed I had to stop. I have no idea what it is but when I kiss Maria, something goes off inside me and I don't want to stop. While I was trying to figure out what it was, I didn't really notice that Maria had stopped talking on the phone. "Cody?"

"Yeah?"

"That was Bob. He was just wondering where I was. I told him I was with friends."

"Why didn't you tell him you were with me?"

"Do you not pay attention during matches? He said he wanted to seriously hurt you and put you in a hospital bed...and he wasn't kidding. That was real emotion. Cody, I don't want you to get hurt."

"Oh. I had no idea he was serious. I just thought it was really good acting."

"Yeah. So I want to keep our meetings on the down low, not a word to anyone."

"Mum is the word."

"Good." She leaned in to kiss me again and her phone rang...again. She groaned, as did I, and stood up to go get her phone. I gently grabbed her wrist and pulled her face to mine. I kissed her deeply and pulled away, leaving her breathless. As she stood there, I smiled at her reaction.

"Aren't you going to get that?"

"Yeah...I am." She grabbed her phone and I just leaned back with a huge smile on my face. Turns out, it was Vince on the phone. Business calls are a serious matter and I could tell it was going to be a while so I decided to sneak in a shower. I took off my shirt and was headed to the bathroom when I heard Maria tell Vince goodbye. "What are you doing Cody?"

"I was going to get a shower. That okay?"

"Yeah. There's just one thing."

"What is that?"

"Do you mind if I join you?"

Whoa...that was unexpected.

-FIN-

That's it for this part. Again, sorry it took so long. The next one will be out as soon as I can type it up. Message me any ideas!
