Esme stood outside Ted's door and took a breath in. She raised her fist to knock on the but it opened before she had a chance to.
"Es! Oh thank god your okay", Ted pulled her into a hug. She smiled against his chest. He was such a sweetheart. She pulled away and Ted closed the door. Esme smiled awkwardly at Ted. This was weird. She didn't know what to say to him. Ted sat down on the couch while Esme just stood near the door not moving.
"So you and Cody didn't kill each other then?" Ted chuckled. Esme shook her head at him and went to sit next to him on the couch.
"No nothing like that. We just erm didn't really talk at all.." Well it wasn't much of a lie. They hadn't really done much talking. Esme looked at Ted.
"We really need to talk about what you told me Teddy. We cant just forget about it.." Esme moved a piece of her hair behind her ear. Ted turned to face Esme and gave her a slight smile.
"Look Es im sorry if I scared you off. I don't want to put things awkward between us. You're my best friend and you will always be that. You probably wouldn't want anyone like me anyway. Im like what? 8 years older than you. You probably find that weird. So please just forget about it okay and lets just carry on as normal", he sighed and raked his hand through his hair. Esme looked at him and smiled.
"Je t'aime bien", she batted her eyelashes at him.
"English would be better Es. You know me and French don't work well together", he chuckled a little.
"I like you", she grinned at Ted who looked confused. He realised what she said and pulled a face.
"Seriously?", he was still confused.
"Yes Ted. Im sorry I ran off I just totally freaked out. I felt really terrible for just leaving you there." Esme got up and sat on Ted's lap and put her arms around his neck.
"I expected you to freak out. Don't worry about it. Well what do you want to do then? Ill leave it for you to decide.." He wanted to be with Esme more than anything but he wasn't going to pressure her into it. He could wait until she was fully comfortable with him.
"Lets just see where it takes us", she removed one of her arms from Ted's neck and place her hand in his and laced her fingers with his.
"What about the age difference though? What about Randy and Maryse?" Ted looked at their hands and smiled.
"Age is just a number Teddy. As for Randy who cares? Maryse has been waiting for this to happen from day one so its safe to say she'll be over the moon", she gave him a smile.
"What about lover boy Cody?" Ted joked. Esme's heart skipped a beat. There was no way Ted could find out what she'd done with Cody. He would go mental. Ted noticed that she didn't look very happy at the mention of him. "Forget Cody then. Hey Es?" Esme came out of her trance and smiled at him.
"What?", she blinked at him and he grinned.
"Well do I get to kiss you now or what?" he winked at Esme and she leant into him and kissed him on the lips. Ted smiled into the kiss. Once they pulled away Esme started to blush.
"Wow. Ive wanted to do that for so long" Ted smirked at her and she smacked him playfully on the arm.
"Calm down Dibiase. Anyway I better get going to bed. Im absolutely knackered. Ill no doubt be seeing you in the morning" She stood up and Ted followed. He walked her to her room on the 4th floor and stopped when they got outside. Ted pulled her in for a hug.
"Ill see you tomorrow then beautiful" He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and walked off to his own room. Esme opened the door to her own room and walked in. She leant against the door and sighed. Was she doing the right thing?
TEDS POV
I woke up with a smile on my face. I had just one more reason to get up today and that was because of that beautiful best friend - no wait - girlfriend of mine. I actually thought when she came to my room that she was going to tell me to get lost and wanted nothing to do with me. How lucky was I? I got up and changed and headed to her room. I couldn't wait to see her. I had a spring in my step. I saw Cody walking down the corridor.
"Sup man" We had one of those manly hugs.
"Dude im knackered. I had a pretty insane night last night" Cody smirked. Oh so he got lucky last night then.
"With the way your smirking im guessing you got laid last night" I saw his eyes look away from me and then back. Strange. Cody was always a strange one though.
"Yes. Yes I did" He smirked again. He never really gets many girls so I guess its sort of an achievement for him.
"Nice dude. Anyway move out the way im off to see my girl" I grinned at Cody and he cocked his head at me and gave me a confused look.
"Since when did you have 'a girl'?" I just grinned at him.
"Since Esme and I had a little chat last night" Cody looked shocked. I saw his eyes flash. I dunno what that meant. Jealously? I always thought he had a thing for her.
"Well good luck with that then" He walked off and I shrugged my shoulders. I knocked on Esme's door. I seriously hope I hadn't woke her up. She was terribly moody in the morning. I heard her grumbling and open the door. She rubbed her eyes and looked at me. I looked her up and down. She looked hot. Black boy shorts and an hello kitty tank top. She had amazing legs. Seriously just wow!
"Ted my eyes are up here" Oh crap I was staring at her boobs. I looked at her and smiled. She was rubbing the back of her head. She looked like she had just woke up. Oops!
"Sorry. Es im sorry if I woke you up I just wanted to see you" I smiled at her and I saw her eyes light up and she smiled back at me.
"No its fine Ted. Come in. Sit down. Let me go get changed and we can go get some breakfast or something" I walked in and sat down on the couch. I was probably one of the luckiest guys alive right now. I had my dream job and now I had a stunning girlfriend who was also my best friend. I know we're just going to see how things go but I seriously don't see how its going to go wrong because we're both so alike yet so different. We know near enough everything about each other. Life would be pretty crap without her. I was worried about what Randy would say though. I know Esme told me not to worry about it but its Randy Orton we're talking about. Im beginning to date his little sister. I know how overprotective he can be of her.
I dunno how long I was sat waiting for Esme to finish getting dressed but when she eventually had finished it was totally worth the wait. She looked beautiful. She had a pair of white shorts and a pink short sleeved hooded top on. Her hair was in a ponytail and her makeup looked phenomenal. Not that she needs makeup anyway. Ive told her many times before that shes beautiful with or without it but she still insists on plastering it on. Oh well. I cant stop a girl from been away from there makeup its just not possible. She grabbed my hand and we headed downstairs for breakfast.
We walked into the breakfast hall and I saw Randy and Cody sat eating. Now usually id go sit with them but I didn't know what Esme wanted to do. She lead me towards them. Okay now I was getting nervous. Randy looked at the two of us holding hands and looked from Esme to me.
"What is going on?" He looked at me. I guess I should answer. Oh no Esme's going to do that for me.
"Randy. Im dating Ted now. If you've got a problem with it I'll deal with it. Don't go hating on Teddy okay?" She could take on Randy. Id seen it many times before. Not physically of course. In an argument i mean.
"I think its great sis. Just look after her Ted otherwise I will kick your ass" Randy glared at me then smiled. Well at least he wasn't angry.
Esme and Ted were sat in catering at the arena. Esme was sat on Ted's lap giggling at something he had said. Cody came and sat down and glared at them.
"Hey Cody what's up?" Ted smiled at Cody.
"We've got a match in less than 10 minutes and you've done nothing but sit with your girlfriend all night. Don't you think you should sort your priorities out dude" Cody said angrily. He was annoyed. He was suppose to go through the match with Ted but instead Ted had been all smitten with Esme. Cody got up and walked out. Ted kissed Esme and stood up.
"Sorry baby but I gotta go before captain moody pants has a fit. Ill see you later" He smiled at her as he walked off.
CODYS POV
I slammed the door of the locker room shut and sighed to myself. Two things I was sure of.
One; I couldn't get Esme out of my head since the incident in the elevator and Two; I was completely jealous of Ted Dibiase..
