It had been a few days since Cody attempted to express his feelings for Jae. The two remained very close and there was no strain on their friendship. Jae personally believed it was due to their level of maturity. Cody thought it was because their friendship was able to survive anything. Whatever the case was, the two were still good friends. While Cody broke the disappointing news to his closest friends, Jae kept their conversation to herself. There was no use in humiliating him. All their friends knew about his feelings for her, and if people found out she "friend zoned" him, she knew he'd be the butt of all their jokes. Cody had to tell his friends about it, though. He was really upset and needed a boys night out. He had high hopes of finding another woman to capture his attention the way Jae first did.

Cody was upset. But he always believed in retaliation. If a relationship was supposed to blossom between the two of them, it would happen. Maybe it just wasn't their time. He couldn't just sit around and mope. He'd have to move on with his life. The connection they shared was very rare. It wasn't something that came around too often. He knew it was something special, so he would wait it out until she was ready. She had to love him the way he loved her. He was certain about it. She just needed time.

Jae had a plan. She knew Cody more than anybody else. He was special. She searched everywhere they went. Jae was going to find Cody a girl to love. She would look for the most beautiful girl with a personality to match. Jae didn't like to see Cody hurt. And she knew she hurt him. She had to fix his heart in some sort of way. Jae knew that any girl who had the opportunity to hold Cody's attention would be the most special girl. He would treat her like a queen. He would lend her his coat if she was feeling cold, he would lift her over any rain puddles, he would massage her back after a long day of work, he would cook her the best meals, and he would just simply give her all of his heart.

She just didn't realize she was that girl.

Jae felt the pain in her back as Natalya threw her into a sharpshooter. The ropes were only a few inches away, but it felt like miles. The pain ran up and down her entire back as she gritted her teeth together. The young brunette regretted not stretching her back out more before the match started. She should have remembered that Natalya was her opponent and she had a mean finishing maneuver. 'Rookie mistake,' she thought to herself. Jae was just trying to keep her mind off of the pain. But it was too much for her as Natalya stretched her out even more. The young woman wouldn't submit so Natalya threw herself all the way back, nearly breaking Jae into two. Jae screamed out in pain as she relentlessly slammed her hand against the mat.

"... And the winner by submission, Natalya!"

Jae stayed on the ground holding her back with one hand and pounding the mat with her free one. She yelled in frustration at her loss. Natalya walked over and offered her some help up, but Jae slapped the hand from her face. She perfected her heel character very quickly. Natalya put her hands up in defense and walked away. Jae got up and walked over to the side of the apron and yelled at her blonde opponent, "this isn't over yet!" The two were competing to earn the number one competitors position for the diva's title. It was a best two-out-of-three with each woman holding one win over the other.

She headed backstage and met up with Nattie at the gorilla pit, "damn, girl. I think you broke me into two." Jae said with a laugh as she rubbed the tender spot on the middle of her back.

"Sorry. You wouldn't tap out." Nat replied with a smile.

"She's definitely a tough one." A third voice chimed in. A smile appeared on the bottom half of Jae's face when she heard the voice. It was a voice that would always put her in a good mood. His tone was always positive whenever it came to Jae. There was no hint of anger, sorrow, or negativity. Ever. If she was ever having a bad day, she just needed to hear his voice, and she knew everything was going to be okay.

"Hey, Codes! Ready for your match tonight?" Nattie asked.

"I'm actually done. Me and Sandow just finished our promo, so I'm free to do whatever. That was a good match you two had out there. Your back okay, Jae?"

She didn't need to say anything. All she had to do was pout and bat her pretty eyelashes. Cody laughed. That face could make him do anything she wanted him to do. And in this case, he knew exactly what it was. He just shook his head and placed a hand on the middle of her back. "Nattie, we'll have to catch up with you later." She gave Cody a knowing wink and eyebrow raise before leaving the two alone. As she walked away, Cody led Jae to his locker room.

As they got in, Jae removed her wrestling top and covered her chest with one of his white towels. She moved her hair to one side and Cody couldn't help but marvel at her beauty. His palms became clammy and he felt sweat form at his brow. No matter how many times he's done this for her, it's always made him nervous. Here, standing in front of him, was his beautiful best friend. Half naked. She looked over at him and gestured at the ottoman lying against the wall of his locker room. He snapped out of his thoughts and adjusted the ottoman for her to lay face down on. He whipped out some lotion from his luggage and began to do work on her twisted back.

She groaned at his touch. It hurt but felt so good at the same time. The noises that escaped her mouth was sending Cody over the top. He knew he could make her feel good emotionally, but he wanted to show her how good he could make her feel physically. The thought of it, combined with her moaning, was something he could no longer handle. If he could just flip her over and kiss and suck and nibble at her gorgeous tan skin...

Control yourself, Cody.. He repeated the mantra in his head over and over again until the thoughts were out of his mind.

After a few minutes of massaging and rubbing she sat up and slipped into one of her best friend's t-shirt.

She groaned and stretched her back out a little, "god, Cody. You seriously have like the most magical set of hands. I feel so much better." Jae knew deep down there was nobody else out there like Cody. But there was no other job out there like the WWE. She couldn't afford to distract herself. And what if her and Cody did decide to begin a relationship? And what if it failed horribly? She would lose her best friend and she knew the break-up would break her focus from her job. She would not let anything get in the way of her and her dreams.

"Anytime, Jae. You sure you feeling better now?" It was a genuine question, but he was hoping she would give him a negative response. It would allow him to run his hands up and down her body for even longer.

She knew what his intentions were with that question, and she knew she had to change the course of their conversation. Jae had to kick her plan into action. "Yeah, Cody. Like I said. Magical set of hands," she laughed. "Hey, since you're not doing anything else for the night.. you wanna go out? Like for a drink? Or shoot, I haven't put my dancing shoes on in a while. We could hit up a club?" Jae was going to find Cody the perfect girl.

Cody smiled. Is she really asking me out? His insides were glowing at her question. Of course he'd love to go out with her. That wasn't even a real question. He'd love to see Jae dressed up to perfection. He always either saw her in her wrestling gear or in sweats and a t-shirt. She was beautiful regardless, but a dress and heels would drive him crazy.

"Sure, why not." He shrug his shoulders nonchalantly.

Jae knew she was going to find his perfect girl.

She had to be out there somewhere.
