Kelly woke up the next morning with a really bad hangover; she stumbled out of her room and into the bathroom.
She couldn't help but throw up, and as she sat on the floor next to the toilet there was a knock on the door.
'Come in' she managed to groan, as the door opened she seen Cody walk in, he laughed.
'Don't laugh, I'm really sick' she mumbled.
He handed her a glass of water and two paracetamol, before pulling her hair away from her face. She took the pills and drank the water, thanking him. He helped her to her feet and they both went and sat on the sofa, recounting last night's events.
Ted walked out of his and Amy's room about half an hour later and grabbed some water and painkillers ready for when she woke up.
'She awake yet?' Cody asked. Ted shook his head.
'I can't imagine she's going to wake up feeling great though' he said, 'what time is your shoot today Kel?'
Kelly put her head in her hands at the thought of the photo shoot and interview and suddenly regretted drinking last night.
'Not until 3pm' she said, thankful that it wasn't an early start.
'What time are you guys going to FCW?'
'Text from Stephanie said to get there for 4.30, she thinks we'll be there about 3 hours or so' he said as he walked back to the bedroom. He crept back in, careful not wake Amy. He climbed back into bed to try catch abit more sleep. Amy felt Ted getting into bed,
'Junior?'
'You okay missus?'
'I think I drank too much' she said sounding sorry for herself.
'You need anything?' he asked her. She nodded her head, but still hadn't opened her eyes.
'You.' she said rolling over into his arms.
They both woke up a few hours later at 11.20am, Amy took the painkillers Ted had bought in for her and sat in bed while she drank her water.
'I didn't embarrass you in front of Brett did I?' she asked looking at him guiltily.
'Of course you didn't, he thought you were great. He can't wait to hang out with us again' he smiled at her.
After half an hour she had drank her water and managed to drag herself out of bed.
'I'm gonna go have a shower' she said to Ted. He just smiled at her. She walked out of their bedroom and Kelly and Cody, who were both dressed were sitting in the breakfast area with a coffee.
'Didn't you wake up feeling like crap?' Amy asked Kelly who was looking fine, as she made her way to the bathroom.
'I did, but I've been awake for 3 hours' she said,
'I'll sort out some food for when you get out of the shower.' she smiled.
Ted walked out of the bedroom and sat with Cody and Kelly, Cody poured him a coffee.
'I'll take it you two didn't have 'the talk' then' he said making finger quotes as he said the talk. Ted shook his head.
'You seen the state she was in, I'm gonna try do it later though.' he smiled as he sipped his coffee, Kelly made food for them all and when Amy came out of the bathroom in a red bathrobe she sat down next to them. Cody poured her a coffee which she sipped slowly.
'So what's the plan for tonight?' Cody asked as he ate some toast.
'We probably won't be back till about 10 so I think we just eat and then have an early night, I'm definitely not drinking tonight either' Kelly said.
'I definitely agree with her' Amy said taking another sip of her coffee.
'So are you guys going to stay at mine for the five days we're in North Carolina after the Greensboro show?' Amy asked as she picked off and ate small pieces of the toast Kelly had made for her.
'Are you sure you don't mind?' Kelly asked her.
'Yeah of course, I want you all there.' she grinned.
'So the plan is we're gonna fly straight into Greensboro on the 27th? We'll stay there that night, the next day we're free so we'll fly back into Wilmington and stay at mine, and then it's just five whole days of free time before we've got the taping in Greenville on the 2nd, so we'll stay in Greenville that night and fly out to wherever we need to go the next morning' Amy said as she finished off her toast.
'As long as you're sure you don't mind us being there' Cody grinned.
'Course I don't!' she said again.
'I'm not sharing with Randy' Cody said quickly.
'You won't need to, I've got five bedrooms. So me and Junior will be in my room, Kelly will have the other en suite. Then there's three other double rooms, one for you, one for Randy and a spare' she said as she poured another coffee.
'Can I bring my Xbox?' Cody asked her with a big smile.
'Bring whatever you like' she told him with a smile. She noticed that Ted was being pretty quiet.
'You okay Junior?' she asked him. He nodded.
'I'm fine, just tired.' he yawned.
'We'll have an early night tonight' she smiled at him. She stood up to go and get changed, she and Kelly would be leaving in just over an hour. She stood behind Ted and wrapped her arms around him resting her head on his back before she walked off to the bedroom to get ready.
'You better tell her tonight!' Kelly said as soon as Amy shut her door.
'I'll try, it's not that easy though' he said hoping to avoid the subject.
'What isn't easy about it?' Cody said sarcastically.
'She's my best friend, and I'd rather have her as that than nothing. I don't know what she's going to say if I just turn round and tell her all this time I've actually had feelings for her' he said, starting to doubt whether he should say anything at all. Kelly and Cody looked at each other wondering if they should say anything.
'Look, DiBiase. I can guarantee you, you have nothing to lose' Kelly said trying to reassure him. Amy came out of her room 45 minutes later.
'We'll leave in 10 minutes' Kelly said as she cleaned up the kitchen area.
Ted was now sitting on the sofa and Amy went and sat on his knee.
'We didn't have that talk last night, so tonight?' she smiled at him. He hoped she knew what he was going to say, and the fact she wanted to talk was a good sign. But he couldn't help but feel worried.
'Yeah we'll talk tonight' he said looking into her eyes. She smiled at him,
'Good stuff' she said as she kissed him on the forehead.
'You'll be great to today missus' he said as she was about to stand up. She sat back down and leaned into him, he wrapped his arms tight around her and squeezed.
'You will be fine' he reassured her.
'I'd feel better if I hadn't of woke up as hung over as I did, I've got to do a cover shoot for a magazine and I look like crap' she said looking sad.
'As if you could ever look like crap' he said kissing her on the shoulder. She smiled at him. She couldn't wait to get back just to speak to him.
'You ready to go then babe?' Kelly asked as she grabbed her car keys. Amy nodded and stood up; she kissed Ted again on the forehead.
'See you later mister, love you'
'I love you missus, have fun' Cody and Ted waved the girls off before making their way back inside, they didn't have to leave for another two hours.
'You are going to tell her tonight aren't you?' Cody asked Ted as he sat down. Ted looked at him disapprovingly.
'Yeah, I think so. I am gonna try.' he said. Cody just smiled at him. Ted hoped Cody and Kelly were encouraging him so much because they knew she felt the same. He didn't want to risk losing her as a friend. He and Cody decided to play some Guitar Hero before they left to go to FCW.
When they arrived there, they were escorted into a training class, there were a couple of people there that they had met before. They were asked questions about the WWE and then watched the talent and offered advice.
When Amy and Kelly arrived at the studio where they were doing their shoot and interview they were escorted by a young girl to hair and make-up.
They spent nearly three hours having their hair and make-up done. They were then introduced to the photographer, Megan. She was very nice and made the girls feel comfortable straight away. She told them the ideas she had and made sure the girls were comfortable with it all. On the cover they were going to be wearing red velvet halter neck bikini top, and a short red velvet skirt with fur trim and black belt and a Santa hat. The girls would be sitting back to back on top of two giant presents. They would also be posing kissing each other on the cheek under mistletoe, decorating a Christmas tree and sitting on a bed in Christmassy underwear unwrapping gifts for pictures that would be used inside of the magazine with their interview.
They spent about two hours posing for photos and then got to see them all. They were really happy with them and couldn't wait to see the magazine now. After looking through all the photo's they changed back into their jeans and then headed over to another room where they would be having their interview.
They were asked so many questions, and they knew not all of them would be featured in the magazine but still had fun answering them. They were in the interview till 9pm. When they were leaving all the staff hugged them and thanked them for their time. They wished them well and said that they would love to have them again for the February issue for Valentine's day.
Kelly drove them back to the villa stopping at a Chinese takeaway on the way knowing that Ted and Cody would be hungry, as per usual. As they drove they discussed the photos and how happy they were with them.
'I'm so tired' Amy yawned.
'I'm pretty tired to, can't wait to have an early night. Without alcohol!' Kelly said as they pulled into the driveway, they went into the house and hugged the boys before handing them the food, which they were very happy to have.
'So did it all go well?' Cody asked.
'Yeah, it was amazing' Kelly grinned.
'It was great, I can't wait to get a copy of the cover photo' Amy said as she got herself a glass of water. 'How was your day?' she asked them.
'Yeah it was okay, we just gave a lot of advice really' Ted said.
After they finished eating they sat down and watched some TV and at 11.25 Amy said she was going to go to bed soon.
'Come to bed soon Junior?' she asked him as she yawned. He nodded. Just then her phone started ringing. She answered.
'Hey Randy…Junior I'm gonna go get ready for bed so just come whenever you're ready' she smiled as she walked towards her room.
'Yeah today went really well, the shoot was amazing. Aw thanks Randy.' she disappeared into the bedroom.
A few minutes later Ted stood up and took a deep breath.
'Wish me luck then' he said to Kelly and Cody.
'You don't need it' Kelly grinned at him. He grabbed a glass of water and drank it before he went to the bedroom. As he walked into the bedroom he could hear Amy in the bathroom brushing her teeth. She was still on the phone,
'I miss you so much….I wish you were here…..I can't wait to see you….I love you so much to…I know, it won't be long now till I see you…..Okay, well I gotta go cos me and Ted are going to bed now but I'll see you soon….Love you'
Ted's heart was racing, he felt sick. Was there something he didn't know about her and Orton, clearly there was. Amy walked out of the bathroom and smiled at him. He knew he wasn't going to tell her now. He didn't want to make things awkward for her, he felt like crying. In fact when she smiled at him he thought he was going to, but he didn't want to leave the room in case she realised something was wrong.
'So what was this thing you were going to tell me?' she said as she climbed into bed. Ted took off his jeans and climbed in beside her. He turned off the light, so he could avoid eye contact with her.
'I just wanted to tell you…. I just wanted to tell you I think you and Randy would make a really good couple' he struggled to get the words out. Amy couldn't believe what she was hearing, there she was thinking he was about to tell her he likes her and then he goes and tries to pair her off with his mate.
'Oh' was all she managed to say.
'I just think you'd be really good together and I just wanted to say I'd be really happy for you' he said, he wanted to just walk away. He was desperately wishing he had never introduced the two of them.
'Thanks' she said turning her back on him and rolling over to try sleep. Ted's heart was racing, he'd told her what he thought she wanted to hear, but he knew he wasn't going to be happy for them, at all. They lay in complete silence, even though they were wide awake, and when, what felt like hours later, Amy knew Ted was asleep she crept out of bed.
Cody was sitting on the sofa when she walked out of her room.
'You okay?' he whispered. She just shook her head and started crying. He jumped up and ran over to her pulling her into a hug.
'Is Kelly in bed?' she sobbed. Cody nodded.
'Can I sleep in your room tonight?' she asked him. He turned off the TV and led her to his room with his arm still around her.
'What's happened?' he asked her, growing more and more concerned at how upset she was. She climbed onto his bed and he sat next to her.
'You need to tell me what's happened?' he said pulling her into a hug.
'You... You said... You said he liked me' she sobbed.
'Ted? Ted does?' he said in confusion. Amy shook her head.
'He doesn't, he told me he thinks that I should be with Randy' she said trying to stop herself crying.
'What the fuck? Are you sure? Why would he say that?' he said now even more shrugged. She had stopped crying.
'I just want to go home' she said burying herself into the blankets.
'What happened, like, from the second you walked into that room till the second you left?' Cody said getting under the blankets and turning off the lamp.
'Randy called me, I went to our room. He asked how the shoot had gone, I spoke to him for a few minutes. Then I got changed, and then I called Sophia and brushed my teeth while I spoke to her. I said goodbye, came out of the bathroom. Ted was there. I asked what he wanted to talk about, we got in bed and he said he thinks I should be with Orton. I didn't know what to do so I just lay there till I knew he was asleep and then I came to see you. That's it. That's all that happened.' Cody pulled her into a hug.
'I'm sorry. I don't know what's going on, but he likes you I know he does.'
'It doesn't matter anymore, I don't care' she muttered as she felt herself falling asleep.
