Chapter 2 – Not What I Expected
This was not how I planned my night, it was bad enough I was dressed up ready for a night out which I didn't even want to go out for, but now I was stuck in a lift with Cody Rhodes. Could things get any worst I thought? I looked over at Cody, he sat with his head rested against the elevator wall and twiddling his thumbs. It annoyed me how calm he was about this.
"How can you just sit there like you don't have a care in the world?"
Cody titled his head to the side to look at me. His blue eyes staring into mine. I'd never really noticed until now what nice eyes he had, I could feel myself getting lost in them. I quickly shook my head to get rid of the thoughts though. I needed something to distract myself, looking down I still had my Blackberry in the palm of my hands. I pushed down on a button to bring the screen on and smiled down on the picture.
"Never knew you had a kid" I heard Cody say
I looked over to him and laughed "No it's my niece Anna". I looked at my little niece saddened that I couldn't see her growing up and the closet I got to her was a picture on my phone. "She's 10 months old"
"You see her much?" Cody asked me
I shook my head "Not really, I think you should know how hard it is to see loved ones with a job like ours"
He nodded his head in agreement. "So do you ever see yourself having kids?"
I looked at Cody once more; he had a warm smile on his face like he was actually interested in what I had to say. But then again we were stuck in a lift and there was nothing else to do. I then began to think about the question myself. Of course I wanted to have kids, which woman didn't, but just not yet. I smiled back at Cody "Someday, just waiting the right man comes into my life. What about you? You see you and Eve having any children?"
Cody shrugged his shoulders "Never really thought about it" was all he said, after which the conversation died. There was an awkward silence for the next few minutes.
"Um so you and Eve how are you both?" I asked trying to restart a conversation with him.
"Were good" he said "What about you anyone in your life?"
I shook my head and laughed "No I don't have time for love"
"That's why you should date a colleague" Cody said
"Been there done that" I said referring to my previous relationship with the late Andrew Martin, also known as Test. "And I don't think I could do it again" I said remembering the arguments the two of us had, it was normally things like me wanting to spend time with the girls rather than him, or not wanting to do what he wanted. The main argument we had though was me not wanting to sleep with him. It wasn't that I didn't want to, it was because of a promise I had made to my father before he died. I had promised him that I would not have sex before marriage and at the age of twenty-three I had still kept that promise to him. Thinking about that got me thinking about how I'd never really been in a serious relationship with anyone since Andrew which had been well over three years ago.
"Were things that bad between the two of you?" Cody asked
"No they weren't it just didn't really work out, we both wanted different things. Not all relationships are perfect like you and Eve" I replied
Cody laughed "Me and Eve. Kelly me and Eve aren't perfect, far from it. I mean sure I like Eve and I openly declare I'm in a relationship with her, but I'm twenty five, I don't just want to be tied down to one girl yet." He then looked at me his face was now serious "Can we just keep what I said between us?"
I bit down on my lip, Eve was my friend. Could I keep something like this from her? I knew how strong she felt about Cody, she'd been planning out her wedding to him and deciding when and how she would give birth to his children. "I don't know" I said under my breathe "Eve's my friend"
"I wish I hadn't said anything" Cody said brushing his hands through his hair quickly regretting his actions.
Crossing my legs over I then turned myself around to face him "If you want the lifestyle of a single man, why are you with Eve?"
Cody raised his eyebrows "I have my reasons" he then folded his arms across his chest "Why? What's it to you? "
I sighed should I tell him what I was about to tell him "Cody do you know how Eve feels about you?"
He nodded his head "Yeah, I mean the about of times I've told her we're through and the way she begs me to take her back. Kind of gives it away"
This was not what I expected Cody to be like, from the way Eve had spoke of him it was like he was the sweetest, caring and loving boyfriend to ever walk the planet. But here I was sat next to him in an elevator thinking he was nothing but a pig.
"But then when you look like this. Come on which girl isn't going to want a piece." He smirked
Glaring at him and giving him a look of disgust I turned my back to him. Which I regretted almost immediately when I felt his arm around my waist. He then leaned in towards me. I tensed up a little what thinking about was he going to do. His hot breathe against my ear.
"Bet even you want a piece" he teased
I felt my mouth drop down and without thinking I turned around, raised my hand and slapped him across the face, leaving a red mark on his cheek.
"You bastard! Just you wait until I'm out of this elevator and I plan on telling Eve everything"
"Go ahead" he challenged
Just then the elevators lights started to flicker I looked at my phone for the time 21:00 it read. It wasn't even worth going out now as Michelle and Layla would of probably left by now. The lift then started to go down and after a few seconds the doors opened. Pushing myself up from the floor I dusted myself off.
"We are so sorry" a member of staff said running towards Cody and Me. "On behalf of the manager he said to order whatever you wanted and it will be free of charge"
"Okay well thank you" I said through gritted teeth. I had spent nearly forty minutes with Cody Rhodes, and all I got was a sorry and that I could have anything I wanted free of charge.
"Well I should think so" Cody shouted at the young hotel worker almost reducing her to tears.
I glared at Cody once more and walked up to the stairs. That was definitely not what I expected.
I 'm loving this fic, but I need your opinions on whether writing in first person is a good idea?
