The next week at the Impact Zone Nessa and Joe were in his locker room getting ready for his match. He was up first that night with his match against Chris Daniels where he got his title back. "You ready to do this babe?" Joe asked.
"Of course I am. The title's coming back where it belongs." Nessa stated, wrapping her arms around his waist and placed a feather light kiss on his chest.
"You really think the title belongs with me?"
"Yes I do, I mean, granted Chris and Allen are my friends but you are the best wrestler that they have in the X-Division."
"That makes me feel really good to hear you say things like that, I hope you know that." Joe said.
"I'm only telling you the truth Joe. I'm not just saying this stuff because you're my fiancee, I'm saying because it's true." The knock came on the door before he could respond and they smiled at each other. "Time to go get your title back baby."
The two of them walked to the tunnel and saw Chris standing there smiling at them. "Ready to do this big man?"
"Of course I am." Joe's music started and he turned to Nessa. "Ready babe?"
"Yeah but I'm gonna do something new out there tonight so just go along with me." She stated and Joe nodded. They walked out of the tunnel and stood at the top of the ramp. "Joe?" Nessa whispered and when he turned to face her she grabbed both ends of the towel around his neck and pulled him towards her. With one hand she held onto the towel as she kissed him and with her other hand she ran her fingernails down his chest, feeling the goose bumps form beneath her fingers causing him to growl softly in her mouth. She ended the kiss and with a satisfied smile on both of their faces they walked down to the ring.
Chris made his way down to the ring after Joe was standing inside and he winked at Nessa who shot him a disgusted look.
"Daniels! Get away from my girl!" Joe yelled. Chris just laughed and climbed inside the ring. The match was a pretty long one and went back and forth quite a lot with both men gaining control at one point or another. It finally ended when Joe hit Chris with the Island Driver and got the pin. Nessa screamed in joy and jumped in the ring to check on Joe who was still lying on the mat.
"You did it baby! You brought the title home!" Nessa told him. Joe slowly sat up and looked at the X Division title that was draped across his waist in shock and relief. She helped him stand up along with the referee and he pulled her into his arms as he held the title above his head. "Let's go celebrate." Nessa whispered and he chuckled.
"Sounds like a good idea to me." They made their way to the back where Allen and Chris were waiting on them.
"Hey man, good match out there." Chris said, shaking his hand.
"Thanks...you too."
"You guys coming out tonight?" Allen asked.
"Nah, I think we're just going to stay in and watch a movie." Joe stated and Chris laughed.
"Look at that...acting like an old married couple already and they aren't even married yet."
"Oh shove it Chris." Nessa growled playfully. The four of them laughed as they walked down the hallway to Joe's locker room. "You guys can hang out with me in here if you want until Joe gets done taking his shower." She suggested.
"I was going to wait until we got home to take a shower." Joe spoke up.
"Uhm, how about...no? You're all sweaty and stinky so there's no way I'm letting you in my truck." Nessa teased, shoving him lightly towards the shower.
"Well, I love you too Ness." He laughed.
"I know you do and I love you." She giggled, grabbing his bag and placing it in his hands. "That still doesn't mean I'm letting you in my truck without a shower first baby." He shook his head and after giving her a gentle kiss he went into the bathroom to take a shower.
"So have you guys started making any wedding plans yet?" Chris asked.
"Not yet, I mean it's only been a week since we got engaged."
"Yeah that's true."
"I do want to ask you guys something though."
"What is it Nessa?" Allen questioned.
"Well since I really have no family but you guys and I can't choose between the two of you I was wondering if you would both consider giving me away."
"We'd love to." Chris answered for both of them and Allen nodded.
"I love you guys so much!" Nessa said, hugging them both. The bathroom door opened and Joe walked out to see Nessa hugging Chris and Allen.
"Now I know the real reason you wanted me to take a shower." He teased and they all laughed. "Did you ask them?"
"Yeah and they agreed." Nessa stated and he smiled.
"Good. Well, I took a shower so am I allowed to get in your truck now?" Before Nessa could answer him her cell phone rang and she sighed.
"Hello?"
"Nessa it's Chris Sabin...please don't hang up."
"Okay I won't, what do you want?" She asked.
"I'm just calling to apologize for everything. I know that won't bring Harley back and you will never know how bad I feel about that but there's nothing I can do about it except apologize and hope you forgive me."
"How do I know you're not just doing this so I'll drop the charges?" The minute she said that she saw Chris, Allen and Joe all tense up but she shook her head and waved them off.
"I guess you really don't...look I'm right outside the building so would you consider coming out here to talk to me?" He questioned.
"I don't know Chris." Nessa hesitated.
"Please? I promise that I won't do anything to you." Chris pleaded with her and she sighed.
"All right, give me a few minutes."
"Okay. See you soon." Nessa hung up her cell phone and put it in her purse.
"What did he want?" Joe snapped.
"To apologize." She replied, standing up and walking towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Allen asked.
"He's out in the parking lot and he wants to talk to me. Before you guys say no just listen...you can be right inside the door and if there's any trouble I'll scream."
"No, absolutely not!" Joe exclaimed.
"Joe, baby, I'll be fine I promise." Nessa assured him, kissing his lips softly. Joe sighed and ran his hand through his hair.
"All right but if anything goes wrong just scream and the three of us will come running." She nodded and the four of them headed to the exit.
