………………Joey's House……………………

"BYE PERCY" Joey called as the old man left the London driveway

"so this is your house" Portman asked as he looked the 2 story mansion up and down.

"yup this is home sweet home, come on" Joey replied as she opened the front door.

Portman followed Joey through the front door and into the foyer, "shit you live here , this is bigger than my entire house and the one next door" Portman exclaimed.

"yea I get lost going to the bathroom, and I have lived here my whole life, alright come on lets go get settled in"

"alrighty"

The pair headed up the grand staircase and to Joey's own wing of the house.

"so you have this whole side of the house to yourself ?" Portman asked

"yea since I'm the only girl my parents decided I needed my own space so they gave me my room my own bathroom and my other lil study/tv room/game room/ whatever."

"awesome"

"yep and this is the princesses palace" Joey said as she threw her arms up elaborately as she entered her room.

"oh my gosh your bed is huge and your tv that's like a big screen, holy crap, this is amazing I mean pinch me, Ouch I didn't mean it literally"

"you big baby" Joey replied mockingly

" so what are we gonna do tonight" Portman asked as he sat in a large pappason chair and motioned for Joey to join him

She sat across his lap and laid her head on his chest, "oh I don't know we could always go to frat lane downtown and surprise my brothers, they would really like you"

"wait a minute brothers I don't know about that , Percy gave me the idea that they were going to chop me up into little pieces and feed them to the cows"

"non sense cows are vegetarians, now then frat lane here we come, should we take the truck the vette or the hog"

"lets hit up the truck"

"alrighty lets go"

…………. Frat Lane………..

Joey parallel parked her black ford f-150 in between to other cars and braced Portman for the night to come.

"alright so as you can plainly see there are a lot of people here and most of them are probably drunk, so if some girl hits on you don't be flattered they just aren't thinking clearly"

"ha ha your so funny" Portman answered monotonously

"I know" she giggled as she climbed out of her truck and joined Portman walking across the street.

They reached the door and Joey knocked loudly and after a few minutes a young man came to the door and stood in astonishment.

"hey Tuffy did ya miss me" Joey squealed.

Tuffy, a medium height boy with curly hair and muscular build quickly snatched Joey up and threw her over his shoulder and hurridly walked into the house , Portman in hot pursuit.

"PRAISE THE LORD BOYS THE SOUTH HAS RISEN AGAIN!" Tuffy shouted across the living/party room.

"put me down you big oaf" Joey demanded.

"Wait a minute Riley is that the sound of our baby sister" A tall dark haired boy questioned his obvious twin.

"why yes Ryan I do believe our baby sister has returned to us" Riley answered

"Riley, Ryan gosh I have missed you two" Joey said as she hugged both of her brothers.

"wait a minute who is he" Riley questioned standing up to his full 6'2

"now now, don't go getting all huffy puffy, boys I would like you to meet my boyfriend Portman, and guess what he plays hockey hes an enforcer" Joey answered placing her arm on Portmans forearm.

"HOCKEY" The two boys said in unison

"yes Hockey you losers" Joey replied aggrivatedly

"ok then I guess he's alright, but if you hurt her we hurt you" Ryan warned.

"no problem" Portman replied.

"They aren't as tuff as they seem" Joey whispered in Portman's ear.

"hey terror of the south I do believe you owe me a dance, because if I remember correctly at the last party we were at you cut out before we had the chance to dance" Tuffy interrupted.

"no no Tuffy my love , you passed out before we got the chance" Joey answered matter-of-factly

"technicalities technicalities" Tuffy said as he pulled Joey into the center of the room where there was a large crowd of couples gyrating with each other . As a familiar Lenny Kravitz song came on Joey and Tuffy began dancing Portman stood back and gazed upon the dancing form of his girlfriend.

American woman, stay away from me
American woman, mama let me be

The beat was steady and Joey's hips began to sway back and forth with it.


Don't come hanging around my door
I don't want to see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you
Now woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say

Portman began to see why he was falling for this girl. She put everything she had into what she did , and she didn't care what anyone had to say about it.


American woman, get away from me
American woman, mama let me be
Don't come knocking around my door
I don't want to see your shadow no more
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away

"thanks for the dance Joey my love" Tuffy said as he did an eccentric bow and kissed Joey's hand.

"ok ok that's enough" Portman answered for his girl.

"hey man share the wealth Joey is a once in a life time opportunity, I missed my chance, take care of her we all love her" Tuffy winked at Joey and walked off into the kitchen.

"what was that all about" Portman questioned

"don't worry about it c'mon lets go dance"

And of course how could Port object to that request.

Come my lady
Come come my lady

Sugar.baby

Sugar.baby

Such a sexy,sexy pretty little thing
Fierce nipple pierce you got me sprung with your tongue ring
and I ain't gonna lie cause your loving gets me high
So to keep you by my side there's nothing that I won't try
Butterflies in her eyes and looks to kill
Time is passing I'm asking could this be real
Cause I can't sleep I can't hold still
The only thing I really know is she got sex appeal

I can feel too much is never enough
You're always there to lift me up
When these times get rough I was lost Now I'm found
Ever since you've been around
You're the women that I want
So yo, I'm putting it down.

I don't deserve you unless it's some kind of hidden message
to show me life is precious
Then I guess it's true
But to tell truth, I really never knew
T'll I met you... See I was lost and confused
Twisted and used up
Knew a better life existed but thought that I missed it

My lifestyle's wild I was living like a wild child
Trapped on a short leash paroled the police files
So yo. what' s happening now?
I see the sun breaking down into dark clouds
and a vision of you standing out in a crowd.

Come come my lady
you're my butterfly
Sugar.baby

pretty baby ill make your legs shake

Sugar.baby

Hey sugar momma, come and dance with me
The smartest thing you ever did was take a chance with me
Whatever tickles your fancy
Girl it's you like Sid and Nancy
So sexy...almost evil Talkin' about butterflies in my head
I used to think happy endings were only in the books I read but
you made me feel alive when I was almost dead

You filled that empty space with the love I used to chase
and as far as I can see it don't get better than this
So butterfly, here is a song and it's sealed with a kiss
and a thank you miss.

The whole dance consisted of much bumping and grinding and Portman beginning to care more and more for Joey, at least on a physical level.

"its getting kinda crowded in here you wanna go outside?" Joey asked Portman.

He nodded and led her to a sliding glass door in the back of the room, he opened the door and let Joey out first and followed closely after.

"C'mon" Joey yelled as she began to run towards a large trampoline in the middle of the back yard. She jumped on and held out her hand to help Portman up.

"you are some kinda crazy you know that" Portman said as he laid down next to her.

"yea well life is more interesting when your having fun" She answered softly as she laid her head on his chest

"ya know there is something about you that makes me want more and no matter how much I know that I shouldn't be with you I just keep coming back for more, I just cant stay away" Port thought aloud.

"ha you make me sound bad , you make me sound like you" she laughed sitting up .

"yea yea" He answered sitting up as well placing his legs over hers.

"but ya know I'm not sure I mind" she whispered as she inched closer to Portmans face.

"I don't think I mind either" Portman answered quietly and he closed the gap between them , he cupped her face with both of his hands, they devoured the sides of her face he sucked on her bottom lip softly and ran his tongue across it pleading for entrance and of course she complied, she let him softly massage her tongue with his and before she knew what was happening it was over.

A single tear fell from her right eye

"aw baby whats wrong, it wasn't that bad was it"

"no its just you remember the ex boyfriend I was telling you about"

"yea"

"well you're the first person that I have kissed since him, just different ya know, but deffinately not bad, not at all" She said once again joining him in a sweet sweet kiss.

After a few minutes the pair decided that it was time to leave it was 3 in the morning after all. Joey led the way back through the house and to her twin brothers. She found them dancing with their girlfriends.

"hey you two im headin out" Joey yelled over the music

"bye sweetie, we will be over at noon , just like old times ok" Riley smiled.

"yea it'll be great" She answered.

"love you" Ryan and Riley said simultaneously as they waved to their baby sister.

She smiled and walked out the door, when she turned back around to face what was in front of her she met the face of Tuffy leaning against the door frame. "are you going to see him tomorrow" he asked softly.

"um not sure , he still serving" Joey questioned.

"yea and he'll be there tomorrow morning , I know he would be happy to see you and I know you would be happy to see that you could do it" He smiled as he hugged her gently, "I know you miss him but I also know that your better without him, and the big one is alright by me too"

Joey laughed quietly , "bye Tuffy"

"she waved and once again joined Portman by her truck, "so home it is" she asked playfully as she jumped into the driver's seat.
