Hate Love (for Nolee)

"Okay..." Cody said, looking around nervously. "I um...have to go finish getting ready..." He added quietly, gesturing to the bag he'd been carrying.

Lucas nodded, "Want me to go with?"

"Um...if you want..." Cody said. "Wouldn't surprise me if someone tried to bother me while I was getting ready."

Lucas nodded and walked up to the room with him, "Presidential suite huh? Why do you get here?"

"Because the boss likes me." Cody said, looking smug.

"Why do you care if she likes you? Aren't you gay?" Lucas asked.

"Yes, but I meant she liked me as a friend." Cody said.

"She's a good girl," Lucas smiled.

Cody smiled and nodded, slowly moving to get his things out of his bag to change.

"So whats it like doing this?" Lucas asked softly.

"Um..." Cody said nervously. "Well obviously it sucks when they hurt me..." He said as he pulled off his shirt.

"I've never been with a guy, only my ex wife," Lucas said.

"Oh...I've...kind of lost count...if you count work..." Cody mumbled.

"Outside of work?" Lucas asked, sitting on the bed.

"Um...not many actually..." Cody said, pulling on a jacket over his bare chest.

((He wears his 'Dashing' attire))

"No boyfriends?"

"I had one once...though he was also my boss at the time..." Cody said, frowning.

"Oh...you've worked for people other than Nolee?" asked Lucas.

Cody nodded. "I used to work for Teddy DiBiase..." He said.

"He's one of Nols biggest rivals. How'd you end up here?" Lucas asked.

"Uh...it wasn't exactly what you'd call a healthy relationship..." Cody said, sitting on the bed to pull on his boots. "It wasn't a very...friendly break up either." He added.

"He hurt you? Real men don't hurt their lovers."

"Try telling that to him..." Cody muttered, sighing.

"He obviously didn't love you," shrugged Lucas.

"He said he did..." Cody said, rolling his eyes. He stood up and went over to the mirror now that we was dressed.
