Unexplainable [Original Version]

[chapter two: "the way shit goes"]

"You think Scott and Kid are back yet?" I ask as I dry off and apply my deodorant. "I'm pretty damn hungry."

"I doubt they've made it back this soon. I don't think we've been in here that long." I nod in agreement as Jolene and I get dressed.

I can't help but watch in somewhat amazement as she pulls on her jeans and adjusts the nWo shirt she's wearing today. Goddamn, she's beautiful, no matter what she's doing. Wow. Jolene soon catches me staring though, and sends me a little smile.

"What?" Joli asks with obvious amusement.

"Nothing. Just thinking about how you're the only one that really makes our black and white color scheme look good." I grin as she simply laughs in return.

Once we're fully dressed, we exit the bathroom and Joli goes to dry her hair. Although her hair is shorter than mine, I never bother with a hair dryer, despite Joli trying to convince me otherwise. It makes a difference when she lets her hair air dry, but I've never noticed anything with mine; besides, why the fuck would I waste my time with that sort of thing?

Once her hair is dried and styled, Jolene instantly heads over to the nightstand and grabs her lighter and her cigarettes, popping one of them out of the case and into her mouth. I sit down on the bed as she takes a seat in the uncomfortable ass office chair and lights a smoke.

I can tell by the way she's sitting that her hangover headache has returned (I'm sure the hair dryer didn't help), so I reach over and grab the bottle of Motrin that Scott had been using earlier. Jolene's got one elbow resting on the arm of the chair and she's using that free hand to hold her head.

"Hey, catch." I wait until she's ready to throw her the bottle of Motrin, and once she's got it I lean back against the headboard. Thank God we're already in the area for Nitro tomorrow and don't have to change hotels today. Once we're done with Hulk later, we'll all need to just fuckin' chill.

I don't know how long it actually takes for Scott and Kid to get back, because I'm too busy just shootin' shit with Joli. One of the best things about being back in WCW is getting to hang out with her. I mean, fuck, the money is amazing. The schedule is perfect! But I missed Joli when I was in the WWF. She's irreplaceable.

"Here's your food." Kid drops a bag of food in front of me and I'm digging into as soon as it touches the bed. I look up and see Joli doing the same thing with the food Scott brought her.

"Hey, you mind if I take the next shower?" Kid asks as Scott goes to sit down.

"Nah, man. You can go ahead." Scott pats Kid's back before plopping down on their bed and stretching out.

Kid grabs his clothes and heads into the bathroom while Joli and I eat. Scott tilts his head towards us so that we can all talk.

"You guys as hungover as I am?" Scott asks with a small laugh.

"Without a fuckin' doubt." Jolene replies immediately, sending Scott a smile. "My head is killing me."

"No, your head kills me." I couldn't miss an opportunity like that, could I? Scott and I laugh as Jolene smirks smugly, sending me a wink. "I'm not as hungover as you guys, though. My head fuckin' hurts, yeah, but it's not too bad."

"Rough. At least we'll have time to kick it before Nitro tomorrow." Scott sighs and stretches out. "That's something."

"Unless you two get called in early tomorrow morning to work on shit. It wouldn't be the first time." Jolene sighs and frowns.
