Stepping into the house as I placed my hockey bag to the side on the porch, holding the door open for Dave to get into the house. “Thanks Jessie.” He commented as he stopped, kicked off his boots as I hung up our coats. “Head inside and I’ll be there in a minute. Got to dust the snow off my jeans. Mom will have a cow if I drag it through the house.” Dave nodded as he opened up the door and hobbled inside. Dusting my jeans off, following Dave inside as I closed the door. Walking into the living room, “There’s the little goal scorer.” Layfield commented as I walked over to the fire to dry off my jeans a bit. “Thanks.” I smiled a bit as he nods, Mom walking downstairs as she walks over to me, handing me a clean, dry pair of jeans. “Change into those. I don’t need you getting sick.” Sighing as I excused myself to change. Tossing my dirty jeans down into the basement for the laundry, stepping into the living room, I was bombarded by three people. “Jessie!” Was all I heard as I covered myself, “Oh My God! I’m being attacked!” They all backed away as Rey, Marc and John laughed. “Welcome home John, Rey and Marc. Nice to see you too.” John stepped up and gave me a huge hug, groaning in pain as I sigh, after a release.
“Thanks. Good to see you too.” Mom ran down the stairs as she hurdled the bags and jumped into her son’s arms. “Johnny! You made it!” John caught his mom in his arms, giving her a hug. “Of course I made it. I wouldn’t stay away.” John looked to me, I just shrugged as I walked into the living room, taking a spot on the floor in front of Dave, sitting upon the couch. Rey and Marc followed, as Rey gave Dave a noogie. “Hey Dave.. Good to see you up and about.” Marc said as he sat upon the floor, digging into a bag of chips he had carried with him for the trip back home. Dave grabbed Rey in a head lock once he sat down and gave him a noogie back. “Of course I am... Nothing can’t keep me down.” Dave answered Marc as he let Rey go. Layfield had moved over to the love seat, where him and Evelyn were sitting before she had to do a few things upstairs.
John put his mother down as they both walked into the living room, seating herself with Layfield. John walked around the other end of the couch, seating himself, leaving Rey in between himself and Dave. Rey looked to the two of them. “I’ve got a bad feeling, there is going to be a Rey sandwich in the future.” John and Dave looked to him, “Your paranoid Rey.” John commented. Looking to Rey, “If you feel more safe on the floor, I’ll sit on the couch.” Rey nodded as he got up, and traded spots with me.
“They try it with me, they know they’ll get hurt.” Dave placed an arm around me as I snuggled into his side gently, knowing bruises were still healing. “So what’s new Jessie? SmackDown! Treating you right?” John asked. “Of course. I wouldn’t be so bold Johnny boy. Some of my co-workers are sitting around you.” John looked to Rey, Dave and Layfield staring at him. “What?” “She’s fine on the brand John. Don’t worry.” Layfield commented. “Along with your Mom.” Evelyn giggled as she snuggled into his side. “Of course I am.”
“John you talk about Rey being paranoid. You are about me. Chill and enjoy your vacation. I’m well taken care of. So don’t tempt me to bring you outside and give you a white wash.” John chuckles, “I would love to see you try.” I was about to say something when Mom piped in. “Knock it off both of you. I don’t need to ref you two do I?” We both shook our heads. “Good. Now John you and a couple of the guys can head outside, when your ready and do the decorations outside.” “Yes Mom. Give me an hour and I will.” She nods as she yawns a bit, “Boxes and such are on the porch.” “Mom why don’t you go nap? We can handle things.” John suggested. She shook her head, “We got the tree to do.” Motioning to the huge tree in the corner of the living room. “We can do it when you get up.” I said as she nods, “Alright. I’ll go.” Slowly getting to her feet as she slowly heads upstairs, Layfield following behind her.
We end up in small conversation, before we all ended up outside doing the decorating. Dave sat being supervisor as he knew he couldn’t do much. Climbing down the ladder as I lost my footing, falling into the deep snow. Jumping out as I shook the snow off myself. “Cold snow down the shirt. DAMN!” They all started laughing as I looked up to guys on the roof, “Laugh it up. I know where you sleep.” Marc and Rey shut up as John just chuckled as they finished up, making their way down to solid ground. Finished dusting myself off as I tossed a snowball at John, pegging him in the back. John turned around and lifted a brow, “That was dirty pool Jen!” Shaking his pants as some snow slid down them. “HA! Pay backs a bitch for laughing bro.” Then another was thrown and pegged Rey in the chest. “What the..” Looking to me, I shook my head as I pointed to Dave. “He did it.” Dave chuckled as he dusted off his gloves, “Easy target.” Rey narrowed his eyes, “Your lucky your hurt man. I would go over there and take you down.” Marc patted his shoulder, “Calm down dude. It’s gonna happen. You’re a liable target.” Rey sighs, “No wonder I stay in San Diego. I don’t have to deal with snow.”
Next thing, John came running at me as I ducked, he dove into the air, missing me as he landed face first into the snow. “Ha! You missed.” I stood up as I got myself out of the deep snow and onto the shoveled side walk. Stomping off the snow as an Midnight blue SUV pulled up. “Hey Jessie. Gift for you.” Marc teased. “Oh god..” Chris Jericho climbed out as he grabbed his gear from the back seat. “Don’t worry I have come to grace you with my presence.” Walking over as he leaned upon Jessie’s shoulder, “Miss me?” I scoffed as I pushed his arm off my shoulder as I moved over, watching him fall into the snow, “Nope. Not in the slightest. Paws off.. I’m taken.”
The guys busted up laughing, except for Dave as he slowly got to his feet and hobbled over. “I would take her advice Jericho.” Slowly I walked off heading inside with Dave.
Chris sighed as he got up and dusted himself off as John came over, after digging himself out. “Stay away from my sister. Only reason you’re here is because my mom asked you to be. So I would be on your best behavior, unless you want to have big Dave on you all vacation.” With that said they all headed back inside to warm up, wait for Evelyn to get up then decorate the tree.
