Love is In the Cosmos

9

I pin Nikki into my signature move Angel From Hell and she taps. The bell rings as Lillian announces me, Brie, and Paige the winners. I'm still flying when I notice that Roman and Cody are arguing.  I can't hear what they are saying to one another, but from the looks of it Cody is pissing Roman off and vise versa. The Referee Paul rises mine and Paige's hands in the air while I raise Brie's. 

"Hey Angel, that looks pretty serious-Brie says pointing toward Cody and Roman standng in front of the announce table- You shoud go find out what is going on." She  says her face filling with concern  

I let Brie's hand fall to her side and I pull mine out of Paul's grip and walk over to the ropes. The two of them are so caught up in their argument that they don't even notice that I'm standing there. I just lean up againist the top rope and eavesdrop on them.

"Why don't you just mind your own damn business Reigns? Angel is only interrested in me do you understand? So that means that you need to back off and leave her alone." Cody's face has become flushed and I can see that he's beginning to get tention lines on his forehead.

I watch Roman square his jaw and I can tell that he's pissed off. After all he has a right to be because we haven't been doing anything. This afternoon was the first time that we've ever spoken two words to each other. I eventually get fed up with the way Cody is treating Roman. I hop off the apron and walk over to them.

"Cody, stop it." I put myself between them and pray that neither one tries to hit the other first since they could accidently hit me.

  I brace my hands againist his chest and try to get him to look me in the eyes.

"I sware to you that I'm only interrested in you okay? Roman was only being nice to me because I got mad when you guys laughed at me earlier and caused everyone to stare at me. We talked until I was calm. I almost didn't make it for my match. He only offered to help me get here in time. Thats one hundred percent honesty I sware. So please don't get hostile with Roman because most of this is my fault. If I hadn't got upset over something so small then you two wouldn't be about to rip each others throats out. He and I are only friends. Forgive me?" I say in a huge breath before feeling light headed and stumbling

"Whoa, you okay?" Cody asks gripping my arm so that I don't fall

I place my hand againist my head and start to feel like the entire arena is spinning in circles.

"I don't feel so great anymore." I say doubling over with Cody still gripping my arm

"She never did eat anything after she left catering." Roman says to Cody

I look up at both Roman and Cody and suddenly I can see nothing but a yellow haze in front of me.

I try to listen but I discover that I can't hear either. I automatically know that its one of my hyperglycemia attacks. I tend to get them when my blood has too much insulin in it which makes my blood sugar extremely low. I feel my breathing getting shallower and shallower. I try to take slow deep breaths like I've always done when I have an atttack to calm myself down. It helps a little but I still feel as if I'm about to throw up. Suddenly my ears pop and are filled with a vaccum sort of sound before I'm finally able to hear again, but I'm still unable to see through the yellow haze.

"Angel?" I can hear so many voices calling me at once

"Yeah?" I respond to the voices as I feel myself being lifted off the ground

"Tell me whats wrong, please just tell me, and I'll help you." I realize that its Cody and that I'm in his arms

I wrap my arms around his neck and snuggle close to his chest as I finally realize that some of my eyesight is coming back. Cody is carrying me in his arms like a father would do a small child. I'm felling content and safe with the feeling of his warmth close by. I watch over his shoulder as the arena stadium lights and sound disappear. They are replaced with the soft sound of city traffic and I breathe in the scent of Cody as well as the smell of misty rain.

"Is there anything that I can do to make you feel any better?" He asks as he places me in the front passenger seat of his car

I nod and wait as he shuts my door and walks around the car and gets in the driver's seat.

I lean againist his shoulder as i feel the car start  moving.

"Orange juice and chocolate ususally work. Anything sweet for that matter works." I say snuggling closer to him  

 "Got ya, so that explains the reason for the sweet tooth before every one of your match then." Cody says as he starts rubbing my hand with his free one.

I nod againist his shoulder and lean just a little bit foward to cut on the radio.

Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift plays softly I adjust the volume just enough that the lyrics can be heard, but not over power the mood that we're in. I realize that every word that she's singing is nothing but true when it comes to this man.

We enter the hotel and he hands me the bag of sweets that he bought at a gas station on the way here. I give him a gentle smile as I take them from him. We get lucky because the elevator arrives and opens just as we get to it. Cody takes my hand as we step in and I let him. I lean againist him as we stand againist the back wall. he slowly rubs circles on the backs of my hand with his thumb as we watch the numbers move higher and higher above the door. 

He's still holding my hand when we get off. I start feeling a sudden panic arise in my chest at the thought of soon being alone. I unlock my door and step inside and he follows. 

"World of Krypton number one , limited edition, July nineteen seventy-one, classic. How'd you manage to get it?" Cody asks picking it up from where I left  it on the table in the kitchen.

"Well...I bought it with my first paycheck. Batman comics are a sort of weakness of mine. That and vintage movies." I say

I watch with amazment as his face lights up.

"I love comics too, but you know that's not really something you can say to too many girls and have them interrested in you, you know?" He says as I open the freezer I place the bag of sweets in

"Trust me I know what you mean all too well." I say as Igrab two root beers from the fridge

I turn and hand one to Cody who is staring at me. I open my soda and chug it and toss it in the trash. Cody drinks his before tossing it too.

"I should get going. I know you'd like to get some rest." Cody says as he walks toward the door

I feel the panic from earlier returning as I follow him.

I start to open the door before turning around and looking at him dead in the eyes.

"This may sound stupid, but will you please stay with me tonight? Its just that I'm afraid to stay alone after earlier." I say

He looks at me then places both hands on my face and flat out kisses me. I lean in and deepen it before pulling away with a comforting spinning feeling.

"I'll stay with you for as long as you want. For as long as you need." He says leaning his fore head against mine

An hour later we're lying side-by-side in my bed. My head is on his chest while we watch Superman the original. I smile as he kisses the top of my head. I lean up and place one on the tip of his chin. I couldn't be more happier then I am when we finally fall asleep at four in the morning while watching an old black and white movie with Elizabeth Taylor. I know that for the first time in two years that I'm going to be happy with a man that likes me for who I truly am.
