The ceremony had gone off great. Esme had even shed a tear seeing her boyfriend/best friend standing up inducting his own father. Everyone was now enjoying the after show party. Esme was sat at the table chatting with Mike, Cody and Sarah.

"Why did you and my sister break up Mizzy?" Esme asked him. She found it quite strange that Maryse hadn't said anything to her earlier in the day.

"I think you need to ask her that yourself Esme, its really not my business to say," Mike smiled sadly.

"So, wait! You didn't want to break up with her?"

"No. I didn't, I love your sister more than anything Esme but it seems that feeling isn't mutual," Mike sighed and looked over at Maryse stood talking with Ted and his father.

"This is actually so boring, cant we just go back to the hotel Cody?" Sarah moaned tapping her fingernails on the table. Cody shot her a look.

"You can go back. Im staying… We're not all as shallow as you Sarah," Cody looked at Esme who was trying to not laugh.

Sarah stood up and stormed out.

"Nice one Codes. Sure know how to treat the ladies don't you?" Mike commented.

"I believe, I do.." Cody gave Esme a wink and rose up from his chair and headed outside.

"Man, I need to pee. I'll be back in a few Mike. Why don't you go talk to Paul or someone?" She patted him on the back and left.


Cody saw Esme walk past but he grabbed her arm and pulled her into him. She looked up and smiled at him.

"Finally, ive been waiting to get you on your own all night," Cody smiled and leant in and kissed Esme.

"I bet you have.. You need to wear suits more often. You look amazingly gorgeous," Esme kissed Cody. He smiled into the kiss. He really wished they didn't have to hide around all the time. It wasn't something he was proud of, hiding all this from Ted.

"I seriously wish we didn't have to sneak around to be alone together. Im breaking up a relationship, I don't wanna be that guy Esme. I know you don't want to but I really think we should tell Ted or just stop this whole thing.."

Esme's heart dropped. She didn't want either of those things. In reality she knew Ted would find out eventually. It was inevitable. What would he do when he did eventually find out? He'd be heartbroken. Esme was just leading him along. She knew she should just break things off with him but she didn't have it in her do to it.

"I cant do that Cody. I cant tell Ted. He's my best friend. He will be seriously heartbroken if he finds out ive been cheating on him with one of his best friends. It'll tear him apart. He'll hate you too and I cant do that to him. No way. Maybe I should just go back home to my mom. Then I wouldn't have to deal with all this," Esme sighed looking down at the ground. Cody wrapped his arms around her in a tight hug.

"If you think there is anyway in hell that im going to let you leave me then you've got another thing coming Miss Orton.. Fine. You've got to promise me though, once you figure out things in your head then we need to tell Ted."

"Okay.. I promise."

"I mean no matter what decision you make, ill be here for you. Whether its me or Ted ill always be around," Cody kissed Esme who started to deepen the kiss.

"Oh my god!" Cody and Esme both pulled away at hearing Maryse's voice. She was stood staring at the two of them in disbelief.

"Okay, this may look strange but honestly I can explain.." Esme started but Maryse cut her off.

"I know you liked Cody but cheating on Ted with him.. that's a bit low for you isn't it Es?" Maryse said coldly towards her sister.

"Its not what you think though. Its not like I have a choice Maryse," Esme sighed letting go of Cody's hand. "I think you should go back inside so I can have a chat with my sister Cody." He nodded and headed back inside leaving the two sisters to talk.

"What is it like Esme? Why don't you have a choice? Everyone has a choice," Maryse said dragging her sister and sitting on the bench a few feet in front of them.

"I have no control over it Maryse. I love Ted, I do but I don't in that way and I cant hurt him. Then Cody, well I can completely see myself falling head over heels for that boy. I don't want to be the one to tear them both apart. If I tell Ted and get with Cody he'll be heartbroken, hurt and so angry. I wont do that to him no way. On the other hand if I got with Ted, then Cody would be hurt too and I don't wanna do that to him. Unfortunately as cheesy as this sounds im most definitely at a cross -rhodes."

"I cant believe your doing this to Ted! He doesn't deserve this at all. He's been nothing but amazing towards you from the moment you met and now your repaying him like this? Its not fair on him. Tell him or I will?!" Maryse glared at Esme.

"Why the fuck arent you with me on this one? You're my sister! At least Randy was kind of supportive about it!" Esme yelled.

"Its wrong what your doing - wait, you told Randy before me! I thought we told each other everything!"

"Like you how you didn't tell me you'd split up with Mike?" Esme shot back.

"That's got nothing to do with you!"

"Neither has what im doing.. Why exactly did you break up darling sister? That man is one of the kindest ive ever met. Hes so madly in love with you.. You will never find anyone like that again."

"Why I broke up with Mike has nothing do with you! Just shut up Esme," Maryse rose up and tried to walk away.

"Are you in love with someone else is that it? Wouldn't surprise me if your in love with Ted! You seem to be sticking up for him a hell of a lot!"

"You wanna know the truth Es? YES! Im fucking in love with Ted! You don't deserve him.. So either tell him or I will," Maryse walked away leaving her sister stood in shock.
