I own my OC Phoebe.
Keep the reviews coming!
Cody finally breathed a sigh of relief as he and Phoebe boarded the plane to the next city. Ted had been cheerful the morning after their passionate encounter and therefore he was obviously clueless as to what had gone on under his roof. Although it was Phoebe who did the instigating, the young Legacy member suspected that he would take the majority of the blame should Ted discover anything.
He was still lost in his thoughts when Barbie took a seat next to him on the plane.
"Hey Cody." She muttered and flicked her blonde hair back.
"Barbie." He replied as he glanced out of the window.
"So, what happened to you two last night?" she asked him.
"We went back to Ted's." Cody replied, clamming up slightly at the mention of last night.
"Spill." The blonde told him, obviously eager for some gossip.
"There's nothing to tell." The young man shrugged.
"Yeah, and I'm a virgin!" Barbie giggled at her own joke.
"Just drop it Barbie." Cody turned and looked out of the window again.
The blonde smirked to herself as she glanced over her shoulder and spotted Phoebe sitting in between John Hennigan and Mike Mizanin. They were bound to get something from the brunette. If there was anything interesting to be heard, Barbie would be the one to make sure everyone heard it. Especially after the brunette ring announcer had dashed the blonde's hopes of adding Cody to her list of conquests at the party last night.
Later on at the hotel, Cody was eager to pick up where he and Phoebe left off in the privacy of their hotel room. The brunette was more than happy to oblige him and they tumbled into bed almost as soon as they had arrived in the room.
"Oh Phoebe…" Cody sighed as he allowed himself to fully lose himself in his feelings.
"Don't talk." She sighed and placed a finger on his lips to hush him.
The young man smiled as he pulled her onto him and grasped at her beautiful chestnut brown hair. She moaned softly as he laced kisses along her neck and collarbone. Cody was too lost in the beautiful brunette to think of anything else. They were both entangled in each other's limbs as they sighed and gasped in delight.
Unfortunately, their satisfied moans had attracted the attention of one devious blonde. Barbie stood outside the room with her ear to the door and smirked to herself. This was going to be very useful in her mission to snare the young Legacy member.
"Phoebe, can I tell you something?" Cody asked as they lay together in their afterglow.
"Mm, yeah." The brunette nodded as she rested her head in his neck.
"I love you." The young man blurted out.
"What?" she sat up and frowned, as if to check if he was kidding.
"I'm serious. I am in love with you Phoebe." Cody nodded decisively.
"Well, I don't know what to say…" the brunette shrugged.
"Say you love me too." He pouted.
"Do I really need to say it?" Phoebe asked him.
Cody nodded and smiled at her.
"I am in love with Mr Cody Runnels!" she laughed happily.
"That's good to know." Cody grinned and lay back down so that she could snuggle into him.
The following morning Cody awoke before the brunette beauty. He rubbed his eyes and glanced down at her sleeping form. She looked so perfect when she slept. Her lightly tanned skin glistened in the morning light underneath cascades of silky chestnut brown hair.
The young Legacy member draped an arm over her waist and his eyes drifted to the bedside table or more specifically, an item on the bedside table. It was something he was not expecting to see, because he had been pretty sure he had used it the previous day. It was a still wrapped condom.
"Oh shit!" he cursed as he ran a hand through his dark hair.
"Mm, what is it?" Phoebe stirred.
"I forgot something." Cody replied.
"Forgot what?" the brunette asked confusedly.
"The condom is still wrapped on the bedside table." He told her.
Phoebe jumped up suddenly. Her brown eyes widened with confusion and fear.
"You didn't use anything?" she gasped.
"I was distracted by you. Anyway, could you not tell?" he asked her.
"No. Now I'm gonna have to get a pill." Phoebe sighed.
"I'll come with you." The young man told her.
"What, and have the whole roster knowing?" the brunette raised her brows.
"I guess you're right." Cody shrugged.
Phoebe sighed and registered Cody's sad face. She leaned forward and captured his lips in a soft kiss. He smiled and stroked her hair. Cody felt like he had earned the right to protect her, but he had failed in this aspect.
"I'll go to the pharmacy after I take a shower." She told him.
Later on, Cody took Phoebe down to the hotel restaurant for some food.
Barbie was already there, scouting out her target. He was left alone as Phoebe went to the bathroom. The blonde weighed up whether it would be more beneficial to go after the brunette or just talk to Cody. She decided that he would be a good bet.
"Well hello Cody." Barbie smiled as she approached his table.
"What do you want?" he asked her.
"You." She replied instantly.
"Excuse me?" Cody almost choked on his drink.
"You're single, I'm single. Let's have a date and see where it goes." She added seductively.
"I'm not interested Barbie." Cody shook his head.
"Are you absolutely certain?" the blonde asked as she leaned over the table suggestively.
"I'm sure." Cody nodded and went back to his drink.
"Too bad." The blonde shrugged and walked away to her own table.
She watched Cody's expression and mannerisms as Phoebe arrived back at the table. He was obviously smitten with the brunette. The blonde smirked as the next part of her plan formed in her head. She was going to get Cody...
Were you expecting that?
