Esme sighed and sat down in the locker room waiting for Ted to have his match against Randy. Ted and Esme had been together for over 2 weeks now everything was going fine except Esme couldn't really get used to it. Ted had been her best friend before they'd started dating and she still found it a bit weird but guessed it would pass soon. It had to.

Then there was the whole thing with Cody. He'd barely spoken to her since the elevator incident and she kept finding him staring at her then turning away. Things were getting too weird and she didn't like it. She was going to have to have a word with it about him. Ted still didn't know about the whole thing which is exactly how Esme wanted it. He would flip out if he knew that she'd slept with one of his best friends. Nobody knew apart from Esme and Cody. She had considered telling Maryse but with a mouth like hers the whole locker room would have known about it so she had decided against it.

There was something about Randy that was bugging Esme too. Every other time she had introduced a guy to Randy he turned into the over protective big brother and basically scared them off but he was been completely calm about the whole situation with Ted. Quite frankly it seemed strange to her. She probably would have to have a chat about it with him. Other than those few things everything was good in her life. She'd been offered a few modelling jobs and been helping around backstage every now and again. Getting superstars to their matches on time and that kind of stuff. On the side she'd been writing a few stories and poems whilst she'd be sat around waiting for everyone to finish their matches. That was the only probably with having a boyfriend, brother and sister who were wrestlers you were sat around a lot waiting for them.

Esme heard the door open and looked up to see Cody walking in. He'd obviously just come back from his match against Evan Bourne which meant Ted and Randy were up next. It wasn't a Monday night raw so nothing major was going on. Cody grabbed a towel and looked over at Esme and sighed. She was the last person he wanted to see right now. Not because he was mad at her or anything in fact completely the opposite. He couldn't get her off his mind and it was driving him insane because she was dating his best friend.

"What are you doing here?", he looked at her and sat down on the bench opposite her. Esme looked up from the WWE magazine she was reading and gave him a smile.

"Well I was waiting for Ted. I was going to go see John but then I got distracted by this magazine so here I am. Do you have a problem with me been here because I can always leave?", she wasn't been rude. In fact she was been very polite. She didn't want to argue with Cody anymore. There was just no point in it. Cody shook his head at her.

"No your fine. I'm erm just going to get a shower…", he picked his towel up and headed to the showers. Esme sighed. He was been really awkward. Maybe she should have a little chat with him to see what was bothering him? What if Ted and Randy walked in and saw them talking they'd think something was up seeing as they thought they were just completely ignoring each other? She carried on flipping through the magazine until she saw an interview with Cody. She smiled and decided to read it. She didn't really know much about Cody apart from the fact he was like madly in love with the Zelda games or something and that was it. She glanced and saw the picture on the other page. He really was a handsome guy. Esme shook her head as if trying to shake those thoughts out of her mind. She had a boyfriend. She shouldn't be thinking like that. She turned the page and saw an interview with Ted. She decided to read it but then turned back to the Cody interview. She just left it open on that page.

Cody came out of the shower fully dressed. He looked over to see what she was doing and grinned when he noticed that she was reading his interview. He walked over and sat down next to her.

"You seem like a really nice guy. I mean by reading this interview anyway. I barely know anything about you.. Why is that?", Esme looked up at him. He hadn't realised she knew he was there. He shrugged his shoulders at her.

"Because we were too busy arguing and yelling at each other all the time. I mean I barely know anything about you either.. Id like to though". Cody smiled at her. He wasn't lying. He'd love to get to her know her more. Maybe eventually they could become friends? Esme smiled back at him.

"Yeah me too.. It'd be weird to explain why all of a sudden we're talking though? Randy and Ted seem to think we came to blows with each other in that elevator and cant stand to talk to each other anymore", Esme folded the magazine shut and stared straight ahead of her. Cody sat in thought for a second.. Then the idea came to him.

"We do it in secret then. I mean it wont be hard for me. I can always say im off for a drink or to meet a girl but for you I guess it'd be difficult with been around Randy, Ted and Maryse all the time." He ran his fingers through his hair.

"Im pretty sure I can come up with something..", she knew she should probably tell Ted or Randy but she didn't want them to ask too many questions about it then end up blurting out what actually happened that day in the elevator. Cody smiled at her and she smiled back. They heard the door open Cody shot to the other side of the room and in walked Ted and Randy..


Esme was sat in bed with Ted. They were watching a film on the TV. Ted was playing with Esme's hair.

"Es, are you okay? You seem a bit like I dunno out of it," Ted looked at his girlfriend who just shrugged at him.

"Im okay Teddy. You just carry on watching the film..", Esme heard her phone go off and she noticed she had a text.

Are you busy? Fancy taking a walk with me? It was from Cody. She looked at Ted who was sucked into the film.

Not particular busy. So yeah ill meet you down in a minute.. She text him back and then turned to Ted.

"Ted, im just going outside for a bit of air. Ive got a bit of an headache. I shouldn't be long. If you need me ive got my phone okay?", he nodded at her and she walked out of the room and headed downstairs to meet Cody. She saw him stood outside. He smiled when he saw her walking towards him. He had a grey hoodie on and black sweats with sneakers. They set off walking towards the nearby park without uttering a word to each other. Once they got into the park Cody took his hoodie off and layed it on the ground and motioned for Esme to sit on it. He sat down next her.

"Are you okay?", he looked at Esme who sat with her legs layed out and leaning on her hands.

"I dunno.. I probably shouldn't be talking about this to you but I dunno if this whole thing with Ted is working out for me Cody. It feels too weird for me. It shouldn't should it?", She didn't know why she was spilling her guts to Cody yet again but it felt really easy to talk to him. Cody shook his head at her and gave her a small smile.

"Well not really but I mean its all new for you. You've only been together for like what? 2 weeks. You need time for it to sink in Esme. Im sure it'll all be fine.. Ted's crazy about you anyway come on lets not put a downer on this. Lets play 20 questions. Ill go first.. When's your birthday?", he smiled at her. She shook her head and giggled at him.

"Original Cody. 30th June. How about you?"

"Exactly the same as you. Weird!", they both laughed.

"Okay erm my turn.. What's your favourite colour?"

"I dunno.. Blue.. Green.. Black..", he shrugged his shoulders at her.

"Well mines purple and red"

They carried on playing 20 questions. Well about 3 games of 20 questions. They'd found out they had a lot in common with each other. Cody was layed on his back next to Esme and she was doing the same looking up at the sky.

"Okay, ive got one for you.. How come I never see you with any girlfriends? Your not gay are you?", she gave him a curious look and he glared at her then smiled.

"Nope im most certainly not gay. I just havent found the right girl yet.. Been on the road so much doesn't really give me time to get to know someone without moving to a different city the next day so.." Esme turned on her side, propped up her elbow and rested her head on hand.

"Well you're a decent guy. At first when I first met you I mean I didn't think that at all since you seemed so adamant on arguing with me all the time. But like tonight ive learned a lot about you and any girl would be lucky enough to have you Cody..", she smiled at him and he sighed and looked at her. He was having a great night with Esme. The more he was getting to know her the more he started to like her. They had so much in common ranging from favourite foods to favourite bands to favourite wrestlers. The fact that there birthday was the same day also.

"Okay one more question before we head back to the hotel…. Do you regret what happened between us in that elevator?", Cody asked her propping himself up on his elbows whilst looking at her. Esme thought about it for a second.

"At first I did. Now I think about and no I don't. In a way im glad it happened. You turning out to be a real decent guy. Im just regretting the fact that we had to be at each others throats all the time", she looked into Cody's eyes and he did the same. Cody stood up and pulled her up with him. She held onto his arms and he took a breath in.

"Would you regret it if I did this?", he closed his eyes and leant in and kissed Esme on the lips. She was shocked at first but didn't push him away. She closed her eyes and melted into it. Cody pulled away and looked at her for a reaction. She shook her head at him.

"Nope not at all"

They made there way back to the hotel not really saying anything to each other. It wasn't an uncomfortable silence at all. Esme hugged Cody goodbye before they walked into the hotel and headed up to their separate rooms. She climbed into bed and looked at Ted sleeping. She sighed and layed down. She felt a little bit guilty for lying to Ted about where she was and mainly for kissing Cody but she knew one thing for sure now…

She had to break things off with Ted.
