Four months had passed. The Playboy with Joanna on the cover released today. She was in the hotel room getting ready for the day. Cody had to leave earlier that morning. Joanna couldn't believe that tomorrow was her and Cody's one year anniversary. She found it ironic that they were going to be in Orlando tomorrow where it all started. She could still remember there first date like it happened yesterday.

Flashback

Joanna and Cody were sitting in the ring at the WWE Performance Center. They'd just shared there first kiss.

"So how long have you been wanting to do that?" Joanna asked.

"Honestly, since the day we met." "After I learned about your divorce, I knew we had to take it slow."

"So, you like me?"

"Yeah."

"I kind of already figured that part out."

"How?"

"I know you haven't been coming down here all this time just to check up on me."

"You're right." "I know we've been friends for a few months but I'd like to go beyond that."

"Me to."

"I have to go to Topeka for a house show tomorrow but I was thinking maybe I could take a flight back after that, and take you out to dinner."

"Ok."

"Great."

"I'll text you the directions to my apartment and you can pick me up there."

"Ok."

The next night at nine o' clock there was a knock at Joanna's door. She answered it.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." Cody said. "Here these are for you." He said handing her a bouquet of roses.

"Thank you." "They're beautiful."

"Ready?"

"Yeah."

When they pulled into where they would be eating Joanna was a little surprised.

"Waffle House?" She asked

"Yeah." "I love this place."

"I've never been here before."

"Never?"

"Nope."

They went inside got a table and ordered there food.

"Jo, I wanna ask you a question." Cody said.

"Alright." "What?"

"Before last night did you ever think of me other then a friend?"

"At first, no." "That was only because I was coming out of a really bad time and I hated men." "The more I got to know you, the more sweet, kind and caring I realized you were." "And cute to." Cody smiled. "I'm glad you asked me out."

After dinner Cody walked Joanna back up to her apartment. They were outside the front door.

"I really had fun." Cody said.

"Me to."

"I'd like to see you again."

"I'd like that to."

"I know this is only our first date but I'd really like it if you'd be my girlfriend."

"Alright." She kissed him. He kissed her back. It quickly became passionate. She broke the kiss. "Cody." "As much as I like you." "I don't wanna rush into this part."

"I understand." He kissed her. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

End Of Flashback

Later that day Joanna arrived at the arena. She went into Cody and Dustin's locker room.

"There's my sexy Playboy bunny." Cody said.

"Hi honey."

"Hi." They kissed. "Will you sign this for me?" Cody held up the Playboy magazine. On the cover Joanna was on her knees facing front in a light blue bikini.

"Sure." She took the marker. She wrote.

To my amazing lover Cody. – Love Jo

"Thank you." Cody said.

"You're welcome." "I'm gonna go grab a coffee." "You want one?"

"Sure."

"I'll be right back."

When Joanna went to the catering table John was at it already making a coffee. She stood beside him and started making the coffees.

"Hi." He said.

"Hi."

"I saw the cover at a newsstand today." "You looked really nice."

"Thanks." "I've heard it's been selling like crazy."

"I'm not surprised." "Men like to look at a beautiful woman."

"I don't think it's my face they wanted to look at."

"Well I personally wouldn't look anywhere else."

"John, did you look through it?" She asked smiling.

"No."

"Did you want to?"

"No."

"What a nice couple days." "Today the magazine came out." "Tomorrow is mine and Cody's anniversary."

"You've been dating a year already?"

"Yep."

"Have any plans?"

"None that I know of yet."

The next morning everyone got a plane to Orlando. They didn't have to start working there until tomorrow. That worked out perfectly for Joanna and Cody. It was eight o' clock at night. Joanna and Cody decided to go out to dinner. When the pulled into the "Waffle House" parking lot Joanna smiled.

"Aw, Waffle House." Joanna said.

"I figured where better to celebrate our anniversary then where we had our first date."

"Great idea."

They just got done eating. They were sitting together in a booth.

"Well the food was just as good as last time." Cody said.

"Yes it was." Cody picked up his banana milkshake.

"I wanna make a toast." Joanna picked up her chocolate milkshake. "To us." "To the best year of my life and many more."

"Cheers."

They were back in the car.

"Ok you have to wear this blindfold now." Cody said.

"Why?"

"I don't want you to see where we're going?"

"Ok." She put the blindfold on.

They drove for about twenty minutes then the car stopped. Cody led Joanna inside somewhere.

"I'll be right back." Joanna could hear lights coming on. "Ok." "Take off the blindfold." She did. She recognized where they were. They were at the WWE Performance Center. It was dark except for above the ring that Joanna and Cody had there first kiss in.

"The performance center?"

"Yeah."

"Let's get in the ring." "I have a surprise for you."

Joanna got in the ring. Cody got something from under the ring and slid it under the bottom rope. It looked like the outline of a frame. He got in the ring. He picked it up.

"Look what I had made." Cody said. It was Joanna's Playboy cover blown up.

"I love it." Cody propped it in the corner furthest away from them. As he came back to the middle of the ring, Joanna saw him take something out of his pocket.

"I have one more present for you." He got down on one knee and opened the little box he was holding. A diamond ring was inside.

"Oh my god, Cody." She said with tears in her eyes.

"I love you." "I want to be with you forever." "You make me the happiest I've ever been in my life." "Joanna Grace Reese, will you marry me?"

"Yes." He put the ring on her finger. He stood up and they kissed and hugged.

"I love you so much Jo."

"I love you too."
