It had been almost a week since Chris got suspended for stalking Nessa and there had been no word from him which made everyone very happy.
"So tell me again why you never told us about you and Monty being married, would you?" Allen asked, sitting down beside Nessa in the hot tub.
"We didn't tell you guys because we wanted to keep our private life...private. I know that you and Chris are my best friends and wouldn't have told anyone but we decided together not to tell anyone. I'm sorry Allen, I really am. I know I should've told you sooner but I didn't think it would've ever had to be brought up." Nessa said.
"It's all right I understand and so does Chris. We just never thought that Monty was your type." Allen stated, laughing.
"I didn't think he was either honestly but after getting to know him I fell in love with him. We just weren't right for each other to be married to because we're so much alike. I still go to him for comfort and when I need someone to calm me down because he's the only one who knows the right things to say. I was scared shitless to tell Joe about us being married but Monty assured me that he would be okay with it."
"And he was?" Chris questioned, joining them in the hot tub.
"To my surprise, yes. I love Joe so much and I was afraid that when I told him he'd hate me for keeping it from him."
"Where is Joe anyway?" Allen asked.
"Tying up some loose ends at his old place...he's moving in with me."
"Wow, you guys are that serious?"
"Yeah. I asked him after last weeks Impact and he said yes, I really love him you guys. I thought after Monty that I wouldn't ever find anyone because I spent so much time alone. When you fixed me up with Sabin I was happy until that turned out to be a disaster, so I just accepted the fact that I wasn't going to find anyone for a while...if at all. Then Joe came along when I least expected him, he treats me like a queen and I haven't been this happy in a long time." Nessa said, smiling as she thought of Joe.
"Anyone I know?" Joe joked, walking out on to the patio.
"Hey baby." Nessa stated and kissed him when he climbed into the tub beside her. "We were just talking about you."
"I was hoping you were talking about me. Any word from Sabin?"
"None so far thankfully." Allen spoke up.
"I highly doubt we've heard the last from him though." Chris said.
"We haven't, I know that for a fact. He's taking his time and picking his spot. Did you get everything taken care of baby?"
"Sure did babe. Did you get a hold of your landlord?"
"Yeah. He has one two bedroom apartment left and I told him we'd take it because you were moving in with me. We go sign the lease tomorrow." Nessa explained to him.
"Sounds good. How much more is it going to cost?"
"Just a few hundred, nothing I can't handle."
"I don't think so, I'm living with you now so I'll pay the rent." Joe stated.
"Oh boy." Chris sighed, knowing Nessa didn't like people helping her with money.
"Babe I can take care of it honestly." Nessa said, a little irritated.
"I'm not saying that you can't, all I'm saying is that now that I'm living here I want to help you out with things." Allen and Chris sat back amused by the whole situation. Nessa knew that there was no use in arguing with him because he was going to do whatever he wanted anyway.
"All right if you want to help out with things you can pay half of the rent and I'll take care of the other half." Chris and Allen both gasped because they weren't expecting her to give in that easily.
"Okay, that'll work." With that settled the four of them sat in the hot tub talking about the next weeks Impact and what they were going to do if Sabin did decide to show up again.
