[chapter twenty-two: "good for you"]

Probably not. I'm just going to have to take Kim's word for it.

"So, are you two going to be able to stay two days or three?" I ask as I cross my legs. "You know I'm excited as hell to have you over, I just need to know when to tell Kev to meet me."

"We just get here and she's already pushing us out so that she can go get laid." Dallas sighs dramatically; I knew I should've found a different way to ask that. "We love you too, Jolene."

"Page, I swear... Be nice to her." Kim gently bumps Dally with her elbow before turning her attention back to me. "We'll be staying two days, since we've got shows this weekend. What are you and Kevin going to do?"

"He's invited me to spend some time with him up in Michigan. We were going to go out with Scott, but he's keeping Cody this weekend and the last thing I'd ever want is to try and take time away from the little guy." I explain with a smile. I've not met Cody in person, but I've seen all sorts of pictures of him. He's such a cute kid and Scott's a wonderful father. They're the perfect little team.

"That sounds like it'll be nice! I hope you two have a great weekend." Kim's so sweet.

"So do I. I hope you crazy kids have fun." Aw, Dally can be so sweet. "Just don't forget your condoms, all right?" Aaaaand, there he goes.

"Page!"

"You sure that you don't want a bunch of little nieces and nephews runnin' around, Dally?" I joke. Kids would be nice though, wouldn't they? It's too bad I'll probably never be a mom.

"I don't think the world is ready for a miniature version of you and Kevin or even you and Scott, Jolene. I don't think the world would ever be ready for that!" Dallas starts to laugh once more, but Kim nudges him again and he stops. I can't help but grin at the two of them. "Seriously though, I hope you and Kevin have all kinds of fun this weekend, whether it be sexual or not."

"Thanks, Dally."

The three of us sit around and chat until it's almost dinner time. It's been so long since I've really been able to talk to Kim and Dallas both at the same time; it's usually been one or the other on the phone, with Kim typically being the one to call me. Then, the one time before this that they were able to stop by and see me, they were only able to stay for a day. I've really enjoyed being able to catch up with them.

However, the more the day drags on, the more we end up talking about work and about Scott and Kevin. I've been meaning to talk to Kim and see if she could help shed some light on the confusing feelings that I've been struggling with, but I don't know how to bring the subject up. I love Dally dearly, but I also don't want to say anything with him here; I'd either get some big brother pep talk or he'd try to take matters into his own hands.

Trust me when I say that no one wants Diamond Dallas Page meddling in their love life.

Man, it's such a weird thing to me to say I have a 'love life.' I've really fallen for my boys, haven't I? Wow-oh-wow.

"Has Eric told you what the plans for your return are yet?" Dallas asks as he leans back in his seat. We're currently all out on my back porch, enjoying the warm weather. I take a drag on my cigarette before answering him.

"He has. It looks like I'm going to be accompanying Kid to the ring, after Scott, Kev, Kid, and I have a big reunion backstage. I'm going to be cutting a big promo post-match and talking about my injury and all that shit. It's going to be nice." I grin as I tap my ashes into my ash tray.

"I'm sure it will be. So, just a couple of weeks from now you'll be back on the road, right?" Dally just seems so excited. He's the kind of friend that everyone needs.
