Chapter 6: "Tight Little Group"
Scott Hall's POV

- - -

"Well shit, I don't know. Don't you guys have any ideas? What does she like?"

I sigh and place a hand on my head at Paul's question while Kev just shrugs. We're sitting around, me and Kev, with Paul and Shawn on speakerphone as we try to figure out just what we should get Joli for her birthday. We've still got a couple of weeks, so I'm sure we'll be fine.

"She likes a lot of things. It's narrowing this down that's the problem. What are good presents?" I really don't know. I've never been good at picking out gifts, and I want to make sure I get something nice for her. It's her thirtieth birthday, and the first one we've been able to spend with her in like three years. It needs to be special.

"Now boys, there are a lot of nice things you could get for little Jolene. Most of my suggestions would involve intercourse, though, and from what you've told me, you've both given her that multiple times." Shawn laughs before actually becoming helpful. "Seriously though, we can come up with something. Think about things that ladies like and modify those to things that Jolene would like."

"Like purses, perfume, that kind of thing?" Big Kev looks over at me as he talks, obviously as puzzled by this whole thing as I am. I know he wants to get a great gift for our gal, too. "Jewelry, clothing, makeup?"

"Exactly. You're getting it!" Shawn seems like he's amused by our struggle, but at least he's helping us out. "Now, out of those things, what are Jolene's preferences?"

"Uh, she doesn't really carry purses all that often, and when she does, they're not very big. She's always using some sort of peach perfume, but I'm not sure what the brand or any of that shit is." Kev leans back in his bed, thinking.

"Hey, shit, come to think of it, when she got back from hanging out with Kim the other day, she talked about how she wanted some new bracelets. Something about the stores they'd been to not having something she liked." I grin as the realization comes to me. "That's what I'll get her!"

"There you go! Progress!" Paul chuckles. "You decide on anything yet, big guy?"

"I'm thinking, hold on." Kev mutters. I look over at him and notice that his eyes are narrowed now as he stares mindlessly at the phone, racking his brain.

While Kev thinks, I chat with Paul and Shawn about any and everything. We don't always get a chance to talk to these two, which sucks. But hey, what can you do about it? It's just the way the schedules roll.

"I've got it." Kev speaks up after a few minutes, a smirk on his face. "I'll get her a nice leather jacket. Get our fuckin' nWo logo on it, maybe her name. It'd be great, right?"

"Ah, like some sort of custom-made deal? Sounds good!" I grin over at Kev. I like his idea a lot! Joli looks great in leather, too, but Kev knows that already.

"I like it! Not bad, Kev." Shawn sounds impressed, which makes me laugh. "You've both come up with good ideas! Be sure to let us know how that goes!"

"We will, brother." I reply as Kev stretches.

"But hey, I think we've got some shit to go do. We'll talk to you two later, okay? Tell Kid we said 'hi!'" Paul chuckles.
