"Okay. I'll see you tonight." Stephanie said to Cody and kissed him on the cheek before he headed up to his suite.
Maddie stood at the candy counter and watched the whole thing.
"Um, Steph, you know that was Cody right?" She asked making sure she knew what she just saw.
"Yeah. Isn't he cute?" Stephanie leaned on the candy counter when Zack came in. He looked like he'd been crying.
"Quick!" Stephanie said, "Let me hide!"
Maddie didn't ask questions. She just let Stephanie duck behind the candy counter.
As Zack walked closer, Maddie got a better look at him. "Hey, Zack." She said, "Are you okay?"
Zack looked at her and just asked if anyone else was around. Maddie looked down and saw Stephanie shaking her head no.
"No. I'm alone." Maddie answered.
"Okay, well, to you promise no to tell anyone?" Zack didn't want anyone else knowing he was heartbroken over a girl for once.
"Promise."
"Okay, well, as you probably know, Cody hooked up with Steph."
"Yeah. I noticed. But I thought everything was cool because you didn't like her."
"Well, at first I didn't. But then I started thinking about how beautiful she was and everything, and I realized I do like her. A lot. And then her and Cody went to the park together and I went to go spy on then and then I saw them kissing and I flipped out and she told me she'd rather be with Cody and, I don't know, everything just fell apart." Zack started to cry again.
"No, no don't cry, Zack." Maddie said as she looked down at her sister.
Stephanie just looked at Maddie. Then looked at the floor. She felt wicked bad.
"Zack," Stephanie stood up and said, "Look, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or anything. I just got the wrong idea about you. And Cody did ask me if I did want to be with you and I said no. But I realize I was wrong. I do want to be with you."
They both smiled. Maddie walked over to Stephanie and said, "I hate to ruin this moment, but its your shift and I have to go home and baby sit that brat of a brother."
"Okay. See ya Maddie." Stephanie called out after her.
"So," Zack said, "You would rather be with me then Cody?"
Stephanie didn't say anything. She just leaned over, and kissed Zack on the lips. He didn't argue. They were standing there kissing in the lobby when Cody came off the elevator looking for Zack. He found him all right.
He didn't do anything. He just ran back to the elevator and went back up to the 23rd floor. On his way up, he decided he was going to play it cool for about a week or two and see if Zack said anything. If not, then he was going to say something. Since it was Sunday, it was the perfect time to start the week.
