Third Person POV

"Why is that, no matter how cold it is, I can always find you outside?" Scott's amused voice pried Jolene's attention away from the city road that she had been staring at. "Are you immune to the cold, or is that just something you're into?"

As Jolene smiled at Scott, she couldn't help but giggle. She motioned for Scott to take a seat beside of her on the frigid bench, but he shook his head; he really didn't feel like freezing his balls off on that cold December night. Instead, he stood beside of his friend with his hands in the pocket of his hoodie.

"I'm always outside because there are a lot of places don't like it when people smoke in them. At this point, I haven't got enough money to pay all sorts of fines for breaking the rules; otherwise, I wouldn't give a shit." Jolene jokingly admitted. "Of course, this hotel does having smoking rooms, but they were filled."

"Nah, I think you're just too cool to be bothered by the weather." Scott flirted with a soft chuckle. "I'll follow you into any weather, though, as long there isn't a literal blizzard out here."

"Why?" Jolene teased after exhaling a large cloud of smoke. "Afraid that the snow would be tougher than you?"

Scott walked behind of Jolene and placed his large, cold hands on her shoulders. He massaged her over her jacket and brought a giggle from her lips.

"You're mean, Jolene." Scott shook his head, but he wore a smile. "Huh. Mean Jolene. You could make that your ring name, if you ever start wrestling."

"As-if." Jolene snickered. She dropped her cigarette to the ground and stomped it out before moving so that she could look at Scott over her shoulder. "Pretty sure that's too close to Mean Gene, and I'm not sure how Okerlund would feel about me stepping in on his territory."

Scott erupted into laughter. "Okay, you're right. We might have to pass on that." He then patted Jolene's shoulder and nodded towards the hotel. "But come on, girly. Let's head back inside, if you're done."

While Jolene stood up and pulled her jacket more tightly over her body, Scott looked up at the starry sky. It was a beautiful night, despite the cold weather. Scott was honestly just glad that there wasn't any snow on the ground.

"Okay, but what do you want to do? Just cuddle and snuggle and find ways to stay warm in the cold?" Jolene asked with a teasing tone in her voice.

"Are you hungry?" Scott questioned. "Because I was thinking about ordering a shit ton of food and just getting wasted in my room tonight. We don't have to be at the arena until late tomorrow, you know."

Naturally, Jolene couldn't turn down such an enticing offer. She smiled up at Scott and then winked at him. "If that's the plan, then what are we waiting around out here for?"

Scott chuckled and wrapped an arm around the woman's shoulder, leading her over to the entrance of the hotel. "I won't make you wait any longer, m'lady. Let's go party."

A whiny groan escaped Jolene's lips as she reached over the edge of Scott's bed for another bottle of beer; the drink was just out of her grasp, and the lazy woman did not want to get up to get it. Scott had left her by herself while he ran down to the hotel lobby to meet the pizza delivery man, which left Jolene with two options.
