Jae knew Cody was going to see this as a date. She knew this the very second the question escaped her lips. As she headed back to the locker room she shared with the rest of the diva's, she found as many of his friends as she could. So far she got John Cena (as long as Nikki came), Bryan Danielson (as long as Brie came, as well), Randy Orton, and Mike Mizanin to join her and Cody tonight. She was not going to go for some drinks with Cody by herself. Jae knew Cody didn't drink too much, so she knew the night would consist of her drunk dancing and singing while he watched. She knew he only said 'yes' so he could spend some more time with her.

She entered the locker room and got ready after a quick shower. As she applied her makeup, a few diva's walked in. Cat whistling and hollering as they watched her apply on her false lashes. Jae shook her head as the Bella twins picked up the dress she was wearing for the evening. They both raised their perfectly shaped brows at the shorter brunette and gave her a quick wink. It was a rich burgundy, velvet dress with a deep and exposed back. The ladies in the locker room knew it would accent all of Jae's curves to perfection. She had the perfect thin waist with wide hips. Her mother always teased her and called them "child bearing hips." Jae embraced her shape, and she knew many others craved to embrace her.

"So, Jae.. John told me we're all going out?" Nikki asked with a sly smile.

She started laughing, "yes! Yes, we are!"

"What's the occasion?" asked an interested Brie.

"Just.. You know.. To all hang out.. You know.. With all our best friends?" Jae tried to convince them.

"Bullshit." Trinity laughed as she put away some of her wrestling gear.

"You do not put on sexy clothes, high heels, false lashes, and curly hair just for nothing, babe." Brie stated.

Jae groaned and released a sigh. "Look, I'm doing this for Cody."

"I knew it!" All the diva's exclaimed.

"Oh my god, it's not like that." Jae tried to explain.

"Then why are you getting all sexy for?" Nat asked with a growl.

"Can't a girl just get nice?" She asked. "Okay, here. I'm gonna tell you guys something, but please do not tell anybody! It's something I've been thinking about for a while."

"You're in love with Cody?" Nicole asked matter-of-factly.

"Nicole! No! I'm not!" Jae gasped. "I do not love Cody! I mean, I do! But not like that! He's my best friend, guys. That's it."

"Then what is it?" They all asked anxiously.

"So, I think we all know how Cody feels about me.." They all nodded as if it were the most obvious thing. "Well, a few days ago, he tried to tell me how he felt." The ladies began to lean in more, interested in the dilemma between the two friends. "I stopped him before he could say anything.. I told him that I wanted to be just friends. And I know he's really upset about it. I mean, nothing's changed between us, but I know that's just how Cody is. I don't want to see or know he's feeling upset. Especially if it has anything to do with me. So, I have this plan..." She paused plainly for dramatic effect. "I'm going to find Cody a girlfriend!" She exclaimed with a huge smile on her face as if it were the best idea in the world.

All diva's pursed their lips together and raised a brow at the brunette beauty.

"And you thought this is a good idea, why?" Ariane asked with eyes wide open.

"Because I feel like he needs to find someone else that makes him happy!"

"He did find somebody! You!" Nat said loudly, trying to get her point across.

"No! Not me! Guys, you don't understand! I love Cody, I do! He's one of the most important people in my life. Like, I've never met anybody that's made me feel as good as him. He's the greatest person I know. But I don't love him like that, guys. I feel like there's somebody out there that could make him more happy than the way he makes me. It's possible! I know it.." She began to trail off.

"Jae, don't you think that Cody is old and good looking enough to find a girlfriend on his own?" Trinity asked.

"You don't get it. If Cody has all these feelings for me, he's not going to try and find somebody else. And Cody?" Jae shook in disgust. "He doesn't have the best choice when it comes to dating. You've seen the girls he's gone out with!" She shook her head as the corners of her mouth dragged down into a grimace. "Yeah, that boy has a hard time finding the right ones."

Cody had an interesting dating history. He was such an attractive guy, and he could definitely hook and sink some of the most beautiful women in the world. He didn't gain the "dashing" persona because of his amazing personality. Even Jae couldn't deny how handsome he was. That was her first thought the second she met him. He was without a doubt one of the best looking guys she's ever seen. If they weren't such good friends, she wouldn't mind messing up some bed sheets with him a few times. But he became too good of a friend for her to have sexual relations with.

And Cody was a relationship type of guy. He wasn't the kind of person to try "no strings attached." In fact, Cody always got tied up in his relationships. The second any woman showed any sort of interest, Cody would devour her with his feelings. If he met any woman with potential, he would hear wedding bells in his head. He was a romantic and believed in nothing less than true love. Cody was a modern-day Romeo. All he needed was his Juliet.

"You think maybe he has a hard time finding the right one, because the right one is too busy setting him up on dates with the wrong ones?" Brie asked.

Jae stopped applying her lipstick and let that question sink in. She shook her head and continued with her makeup.

The group of friends all headed over to Randy's SUV once the show ended. Cody couldn't have been in a better mood. He had an easy night, he was surrounded by amazing company, and he had a beautiful Jae holding onto his arm. She looked completely outstanding. The dress she wore hugged her body in all the right places, her hair was curled to perfection, and her make-up accentuated her natural beauty. He knew many of his coworkers wished they were him in that very moment. He even noticed Mike stealing a few glances at the brunette. Cody smirked to himself as he helped Jae into the car. "You look so beautiful tonight." He said whispering into her ear as they got situated into their seats.

The second they entered the club, they ordered shots of Honey Jack all around. They all took their glasses and downed the warm liquid, except for John and Cody. The two didn't drink much, mostly because they were very focused on their personal fitness, but the two still knew how to have a really good time. Cody sat back in a booth with John and Randy as they joked around. Cody was less absorbed in the conversation, because most of his attention was focused in on Jae. He loved watching her have fun. She had the best attitude about everything and people naturally found themselves gravitating towards her. She waved her hands in the air and moved her hips to the music. He knew at that moment nothing was going to stop him from getting to her.

Not even Jae herself.

Jae took a few more shots, not knowing Cody was watching her. He was very cautious especially when it came to her safety. He knew Jae knew her limit but he wanted to be there for her if she took way more than she could handle. He counted every shot she took, and once she reached five, he would try to intervene. He knew she would be fine for now. As Cody watched her, she watched her surroundings. She looked around for a girl that might deserve Cody's affection.

But as the liquid began to settle into her system, the more she looked around, the higher her standards got. Not one female in that club deserved Cody in Jae's opinion. She had to admit, she didn't want any girl to be more attractive than her. The Honey Jack was slowly making her realize that she still craved Cody's attention. As much as she didn't want to be in a relationship with him, she didn't want another girl to be more important than her in his life. The girl she was going to find was not going to be better looking than her, funnier than her, or better for Cody than her.

She just needed to find somebody that would keep him occupied until she was ready.

Jae turned around and almost instantly, she found the right girl. She had a beautiful milk chocolate skin color, gorgeous hair that fell past her shoulders, dark plump lips and amazing light brown eyes. The girl wore a white strapless dress that showed her muscular physique. This girl was gorgeous enough to captivate Cody. She looked to be just his type. As Jae got closer to the girl and her group of friends, the more familiar she appeared.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" Jae asked, slurring her words. The familiar face smiled at the drunk woman in front of her and laughed a little.

"Yeah. I'm Brandi Reed. I was part of the developmental team of the WWE. I joined right when you got to the main roster." She said into Jae's ear trying to get over the loud club music.

"Ohhh! Girl, take a shot with me!" Jae smiled gesturing at the bartender. "Cheers to the WWE!"

... And that's five! Cody thought to himself as he excused himself from the guys.

"Coddles! Where have you been?" She slurred as she hugged her best friend.

"I was sitting with John and Randy, you okay hun?"

"Yeah!" Jae smiled, "I- I- hey, you. I want you to meet my best friend! He's seriously like the greatest guy I know. Coddles, this is Brandi. Brandi, this is Cody!"

Cody was holding Jae up with one arm and shaking the hand of another beautiful woman with his free one.

"Very nice to meet you, Brandi."

Jae was too drunk out of her mind to realize the mistake she was making.
