Chapter 5: "Deep, Personal Shit"
Kevin Nash's POV

- - -

As soon as I wake up, I reach for Jolene only to realize she's not there. I mean, I should've just fuckin' known that from the start, since she told us yesterday that she'd be getting up early today to go out with Kim, but I'm used to just waking her up when I get up. It's a habit.

Looking over at the other bed, I realize that Scott and Kid aren't up yet, which is fine with me. We're going to go find some shit to do today, since Joli's gone. I don't really know where the fuck we'll end up, but whatever.

It's so quiet in this damn room, it's weird. Our group is usually raising so much hell that we never find a silent moment like this.

I rummage through my bags and grab some clothes before heading to the bathroom and turning on the shower. Once I'm done with my shower, I dry off and slip my clothes on. I exit the bathroom with my towel around my neck.

"Hey big guy, what do you want to do today?" Scott asks with a yawn as I walk back over by the beds and grab my deodorant from my bag. "We were thinking of just walkin' around town and seeing what kind of shit we can get into."

"That's fine with me. I don't really care." I reply with a shrug as I drop my deodorant back down in the bag. "Anything that gets us out of the fuckin' hotel, I'm down for."

"Sweet, man. Just give us a few minutes to get going." Kid laughs as he grabs the clothes he'd sat beside of him and darts into the bathroom. I walk over my bed and sit down at the edge of it before I start drying my hair off with the towel around my neck.

"So, what do you think Joli and Kim are up to today?" I turn my head to listen to Scott as he talks. "I don't think she said anything in particular."

"Who the hell knows with those two. They could be doing anything from shopping to sitting on their asses and talking shit. Women are complex." I grin over at Scott before taking the towel off of my shoulders and tossing it into one of the corners in the room.

"You're right." Scott laughs as he stands up and stretches, looking briefly around the room before grabbing his travel bag.

As Scott grabs his clothes and shit, I snag a hair band from the nightstand beside of me and tie my hair back. Joli said yesterday that it's actually supposed to be pretty fuckin' hot today, despite it being early November in the North.

Once Scott and Kid are dressed, we all head out of the room and to the car. I drive and Scott sits in the passenger seat.

"So, where am I taking us?" I send a quick glance towards Scott. "Y'all got anywhere particular in mind?"

"Take a couple of lefts up here and we should get to some big downtown area. We could just walk around there." Kid pipes in; I watch him motion to the upcoming signs from the rear-view mirror.

"All right. That's fine with me." I mutter as I drive on, taking the turns that Kid had instructed me on. I can't help but laugh as I listen to him gawk at the scenery and (undoubtedly) women in the area. "Keep it in your pants back there, Kid."

"What? I'm not doing anything!" Kid protests with a laugh.

"Of course you're not." Scott's obviously amused by Kid, but so am I. It can be pretty funny when Kid gets wide-eyed and interested in something on the spur of the moment.

When we get downtown, I find a huge, free parking lot and stop there. As soon as we get out of the car, a large, cool gust of wind rushes over us. It's a nice change from the hot, beating sun that's glaring down upon us.
