Another week of Impact and still no word from Chris Sabin, Nessa and Joe sat with Chris Daniels, Allen and Chris Harris in catering discussing the whole situation.
"So what happened exactly?" Chris Harris asked.
"Sabin started stalking me and threatening me and Joe so we went to Larry after he attacked Monty Brown who also happens to be my ex-husband." Nessa said and Chris' eyes went wide.
"Wait a minute...you were married to Monty?"
"Yeah she was." Monty's voice spoke up from behind Nessa and she jumped up.
"Monty!" She squealed and hugged him.
"Hey Ness, Joe."
"Hey man, how you feeling?" Joe questioned as Nessa sat back down beside him.
"A lot better, glad to be back. Has anything been done about Sabin?"
"He's been suspended." Allen spoke up.
"Good. And you didn't do anything to him?" Monty asked Nessa.
"No...Joe wouldn't let me." She huffed and he laughed.
"I'm glad to hear that."
"Babe we need to go get ready to head out to the ring." Joe said and Nessa nodded.
"All right. I guess I'll see you guys later...hey how about you guys come over to our place after the show? We're finally moved in and unpacked so you'll be our first guests."
"You two are living together?" Monty questioned.
"Yep. We just moved into our new place, we needed a bigger apartment for all of our shit." Joe stated, smiling.
"Sounds good to me." Chris Harris said. The rest of them agreed and Joe and Nessa went to his locker room so she could get ready.
"Who are they putting you up against at Lockdown?"
"Promise me you aren't gonna get pissed?"
"Uh oh this can't be good...okay I promise." Nessa agreed.
"Sabu."
"What the fuck? Why him?"
"To expand my career beyond the X division." Joe explained.
"I understand that but did they have to give you Sabu right out of the gate?"
"You think I can't beat him?"
"It's not that baby and you know it. It's just that he's...Sabu, the man is insane and he'll pretty much do anything. I just don't want to see you get hurt, I love you and I couldn't bare to see you get hurt." Nessa whispered, tears forming in her eyes.
"I love you too babe and I'll be fine, I promise. I can handle anyone they throw at me you should know that by now."
"If you're sure then I'm sure. I'll support you 100, I always will." She said, changing into a pair of short jean shorts and a Samoa Joe t-shirt from back in his ROH days.
"That shirt looks good on you babe." Joe said, eyeing her appreciatively.
"Thanks baby." The knock came on the door and they headed out of the locker room to the entrance tunnel.
Joe's music started up and they made their way to the ring where Mike Tenay was waiting on them. He went through his accomplishments in the ring then they played a video package of his opponent for Lockdown which of course was Sabu and Joe wasn't very happy. After the video ended Mike Tenay turned to Nessa and smiled a little.
"How do you feel Alannah knowing that Samoa Joe has to go up against Sabu?"
"How do I feel Mike? I feel sorry for Sabu, he may be the homicidal, genocidal and suicidal one but he's facing Samoa Joe. A man who for 9 months has yet to be beaten in a one on one match, a man who is willing to put his body on the line just to earn a victory, a man who put Christopher Daniels in the hospital almost ending his career and did the same thing with AJ Styles. I know my man can beat anyone that TNA management decides to throw at him so I'm not worried. You ask me how I'm feeling Mike...I think you should be asking that question to Sabu." With that said her and Joe got out of the ring and went to the back.
The minute they got to the back Joe grabbed Nessa, pushed her against a wall and kissed her with a fiery passion that sent her head reeling and made her knees go weak.
"Okay...where the hell did that come from?" Nessa asked once she caught her breath.
"That was one of the sexiest things I have ever seen you do." Joe said, his voice husky with desire.
"What?"
"That promo, my god Ness that was so hot." He whispered, kissing and sucking on her neck.
"Joe...mmm baby as good as this feels oooh...we're putting on a show." Nessa moaned out. Instead of answering her he bit down gently on her neck and sucked, leaving his mark. "Joe stop." She begged him, feeling her will power slipping away. Finally he pulled away from her and smiled evilly.
"Don't get too used to using my name and that word in the same sentence babe." Nessa smacked his chest lightly and brought her hand up, running it over the fresh mark he had just left there.
"Branding me are you?" She asked, giggling.
"Damn straight. Now everyone will know you are mine."
"Let's go back to the locker room...I'm gonna call Allen and tell him we're moving tonight's plans to tomorrow night." Nessa said and he laughed.
"Good idea." They walked back to his locker room and Nessa grabbed her cell phone. She dialed Allen's number and waited for him to answer.
"Hello?"
"Allen it's Nessa. Tonight's been cancelled and moved to tomorrow night, Joe and I have something to take care of."
"Like each other?" He asked, laughing. "Daniels saw your little show in the hallway and we figured you'd be calling. I'll let Harris and Monty know and we'll see you tomorrow night.
"Yes each other and thanks. See you later." Nessa stated and hung up the phone.
"Each other?"
"Chris Daniels saw the little show you decided to put on in the hallway and they were wondering how long it would take me to call them." She explained and he laughed.
"Well then...you ready to go finish what we started?"
"You mean what you started? I'm always ready for that baby." The two of them left the arena and went home where they made love well into the night with Joe leaving a few more 'branding' marks on her.
