AN: Holla! Krazy 13 here! My chapter! Again!
I watched her as Cody shook her hand. I could tell she thought he was cute, Hun, he's not just cute. He is so goddamn hot! Yummy! Then Ted stepped forward looking swave as he does. I could tell she fancied the crap off him. I elbowed her in her ribs and she continued her sentence. I almost laughed. So did Cody. I could mentally tell he was thinking the same thing I was. They likey likey each other. Ted kept shooting me looks as we got changed. I couldn't stop smirking. As we finished up, I could tell Jordan felt a bit intimidated by us. We had our designer gear and she had her high street fashion. We seriously need to go on a shopping spree! That was all I was thinking about. I felt Cody elbow me. "What?"
"Look at her, Kai. She's so common. She's showing us up!" whispered Cody. I slapped him upside the head. "Ow!"
"Serves you right! Cody Garrett Runnels! You will not be a snobby, arrogant rich kid! You will treat her as you treat anyone else. Just like us. You will treat her with respect and like a human being or you will be excommunicated!" I waited for Jordan to finish her call and come back to earth. "So who was that? Your boyfriend." I tried to keep the curiosity out of my voice, but failed. She picked on it, I could tell.
"Eww that'd be like incest, but not. That was Frank AJ's best friend wanted to see how I was doing and congratulate me on my first match." She didn't have to point out she was single. It lit a candle of hope in Ted's head though. She could've told us later. "And I'm not actually seeing anyone right now, we er just broke up." I could tell that hurt her. Ted did too. Perfect couple! I will them too! Soon. Maybe.
"Hey we were all going to go out for dinner. Why don't you come with? It'd mean I wouldn't be playing third wheel to these two when they decide to suck each-other's faces off." I am going to kill this man. I elbowed him in the ribs, to show my point. I could see Jordan was giggling. Me and Ted acted like brother and sister at the best of times.
"We do not suck each-other's faces off, we make out. And I would appreciate not being the only girl in the group when they start talking Football." I answered defiantly. Cody pouted behind me. Jordan smiled at me for my last sentence. Beat that DiBiase!
"Sure Kaila I'd be up for that." I could tell something was wrong so I grabbed her arm and dragged her into the nearest room. We left the guys to argue amongst themselves. I saw she was uneasy.
"Are you ok Jordan? You seem a little I dunno, uncomfortable." I practically whispered.
"I uh, um just was wondering where we were going." I looked at her sideways. Yeah, she was making up for something. I knew she felt intimidated.
"It'll be a nice little restaurant why?" I answered, a little confused. Cody's point came back to me. Go away, Cody! Not the damn time!
"It's just that, I don't really have any super fancy clothes, I've never had need for them. I'm a country girl at heart so all's I really got is denim, denim and more denim." I grinned and sized her up, tryna tell if she was the same size as me.
"Well isn't it your lucky day! We look to be about the same size, I'm sure I have something you could borrow." I felt so mean and demeaning. I wanted to help her. We were soon at the hotel and I waved off the guys telling Cody to change in Ted's room.
"Now let me see what I've got..." I started, seeing the look on her face. "Don't look so worried. I tone down some days." She breathed a look of relief. I could tell she was worried. Nothing too posh and stick-up-the-ass, but nothing too countrified. I ended up chucking half of my wardrobe out of my suitcase before I finally found something. A red and black checked shirt with black skinny jeans and red studded pumps. "Get changed. We have 15 minutes. You can keep that lot by the way." I repacked my stuff as quick as I could and dug out my outfit. A black guys dress shirt, dark blue skinny jeans and white/cream bow heels.
"Thanks, you're a good friend." she gushed, blushing. Bless her.
"No problem. Now, I hate to sound like my mother, but are we standing here or are we getting changed?" I asked laughing. It earned me a giggle from the shy girl. I got changed in speedy time. 5 minutes flat. See that, Cody! I don't take half an hour to get changed! I grabbed my white purse and put in my shirt pocket. "Just in case." She laughed again. We made it down there just a little late. Better to turn up late than not at all.
"Do you think I look okay?" Jordan whispered in my ear before we met the boys.
"Hun, you gotta believe you look good. Cuz a) You look gorgeous and b) Ted will love you anyway." I winked at her. She blushed a bright fuchsia colour which made me smile. We walked over to the boys who were waiting in the lobby impatiently. "Sorry, boys. Hairdryer broke down, it's such a pain." I crossed my fingers behind my back and I could hear the girly snort behind me. Cody shot me a "WTF?" look and I could see Ted smirking behind me.
"Right, we leaving then?" He asked, still oh so skeptical of little old me. I smiled and nodded. I could see Ted looking at Jordan's outfit. I could also tell he loved it! Oh yeah! Miss Fashionista! Boom! Ted walked behind us with Cody. As soon he did, I started laughing along with JJ.
"He's thinking I'm a Krazy person!" I spluttered through the quiet laughter. "Ah, well. He knew what he was dating!" We finally stopped laughing and sighed contently.
"Kaila, how did you know I liked Ted?" She asked out of the blue.
"1) I can read people like a book, 2) You were quite obvious about it, hell even Cody picked it up and 3) I just do." I summarized, I am so awesome. We walked toward the posh but not too posh restaurant. "You coming boys?" I shouted to them at the back. They ran up and smiled. Cody opened the door for us.
"Ladies- and Ted." We giggled at that as we walked in. The waiter sat us at a table and we started up random chatter.
"Shall we tell our life stories for JJ's benefit?" Asked Cody, me and Ted groaned. Oh god. JJ didn't know what to do, bless the poor child.
"Cody, please. Save it. Don't bore the poor girl. Scratch that. Don't bore us!" I moaned. Cody ignored me and started anyway. I couldn't stay like this forever so I started pulling funny faces at Ted and JJ.
"You guys listening?" We sat up, biting our lips to stop bursting into laughter and mumbled yes. He carried on and the game continued.
"Cody, honey? Would you come with me for a second?" I got up out of my chair and slyly winked at Jordan. Cody, confused got up and followed me to the edge of the restaurant. "Cody, please. Look at them." I turned him round and showed him our friends. Jordan, blushing and Ted smiling like he hasn't for months. I hugged Cody's waist. "Please, Cody, can't you see something's blossoming?" I sounded like my mother again! He turned around to face me again and kissed me sweetly.
