"Fuck Seannoa! What did you do, buy the place out?" Allen growled as he and Chris helped Joe get everything into the house and up to Nessa's bedroom.

"I told him not to buy all that shit but he wouldn't listen." Nessa said.

"Actually I only bought half the place out." Joe stated, laughing.

"I believe that." Chris spoke up.

Nessa looked at her watch and saw that it was too late to be going out because all the bars were going to be closing soon. "Hey guys? It's almost closing time at the bars, I have beer so why don't we just have a drink here?"

"Fine with me." Allen shrugged.

"Same here." Chris agreed.

"All right then. I'll run down and get the beers, baby why don't you come with me and grab the DVD player?"

"Okay." Joe and Nessa went downstairs while Chris and Allen waited upstairs. She took four beers out of the refrigerator and went into the living room. "Get it unhooked okay?"

"Yeah, I got it. You got the stuff to mount the t.v. to the wall?"

"Yes. Go out in the kitchen, in the last drawer on the left is all the tools. I'll wait for you." He nodded and walked into the kitchen, stopping long enough to give her a kiss. Joe came back a few minutes later tools and DVD player in hand.

"Ready." They made their way back upstairs only to find Allen and Chris playing around with her laptop computer.

"What are you guys doing?" Nessa demanded, worriedly. She knew that she had a few videos and photos saved of Joe which could only result in teasing by her two best friends.

"Oh nothing...just looking at some interesting photos and videos." Allen replied, innocently.

"Dammit! You two leave my computer alone and if you mention one word about those I will go to your houses and kill you while you sleep."

"No you won't because you love us." Chris stated, defiantly.

"Not right at this moment I don't." Nessa growled.

"What's so interesting on there?" Joe asked.

"Wanna see?" Allen questioned Joe.

"Allen I'm warning you."

"Babe it can't be that bad." Joe reasoned with her.

"Yes it is." Nessa watched in embarrassment and horror as Allen handed Joe the computer. "I really hate you guys." She whispered, dropping her head to hide the blush that was spreading across her face.

"Babe look at me." Joe instructed and she slowly brought her eyes up to meet his. "It's not that bad, really." His voice was soft and reassuring which made Nessa feel much better.

"I still don't like them." She said, pointing to Chris and Allen.

"You knew he was going to find them sooner or later." Chris stated.

"No he wasn't, I was going to delete them tomorrow." Nessa handed Allen, Chris and Joe a beer then sat down on the floor at the foot of her bed.

"Nessa I'm sorry." Allen whispered, sitting down beside her.

"Yeah me too." Chris echoed, sitting down on the other side.

"It's okay I guess."

"You okay babe?" Joe asked, sitting down in front of her.

"I'm fine."

"She's pissed and hurt." Allen stated.

"How do you know?" Joe questioned.

"Easy way to tell is when she doesn't say much. We've been around her long enough to learn that." Chris explained.

"Ness, babe?" She looked at him and he could see the pain in her eyes. "Come here." Those two little words brought a smile to her face that Chris and Allen had never seen before. They watched in amusement as she quickly moved closer to him. "Do I have to ask?" Nessa shook her head and he smiled. "Good." He cupped her face in his hands and kissed her passionately. Once the kiss ended he looked into her eyes, only seeing happiness and desire this time. "Okay now?"

"Yeah. You want to put the t.v. up tonight or wait until tomorrow?"

"Better wait until tomorrow, don't want to wake the neighbors up with all the racket of the tools."

"What the fuck just happened here?" Chris asked, throughly confused and Nessa laughed.

"The first time he ever said 'come here' to me was about ten minutes before you called me when we were in the hot tub." Figuring out what she meant caused Chris to laugh.

"Now I understand where that smile came from right after he said it."

"Okay...I'm lost." Allen spoke up.

"The night that I invited Joe over for a drink we were in the hot tub, I gave into temptation and ran my hand over his chest and stomach. He stared at me in shock for a minute so I pulled my hand back but he grabbed it and put it back on his chest. Then he said 'come here', I ended up running my hand over his face, chest and stomach. After that we kissed, just as the kiss ended with me completely out of breath Chris called. Right before he hung up he told me not to pass out from all the kissing and not once in our conversation did I mention that Joe and I had kissed."

"I could tell it in your voice." Chris laughed and she blushed.

"Baby when we do have sex...remind me to turn all the phones off."

"Babe when we do have sex...I'll have to remind you what a phone is." Joe growled playfully and Nessa giggled.

"Promises, promises." She watched as Joe stood up and hooked the t.v. up so they would be able to watch a movie after Chris and Allen left. Two hours later Nessa and Joe stood at the front door saying goodbye to Allen and Chris. "I'm leaving my phone on this week so if you need to get a hold of me you can."

"Okay, make sure you do. I'll see you later." Chris said, hugging her then shaking Joe's hand. "Take care of her man."

"I will, don't worry." Joe replied.

"You need anything just give me a call." Allen stated, giving Nessa a hug as well.

"I always do Allen." Both of them left, leaving just Nessa and Joe. "You want to go watch a movie?"

"Of course. What did you want to watch?" Joe asked, following her upstairs.

"How about Dark Water?" Nessa walked into the bedroom and flopped down on the bed.

"Fine with me. Did you want to get changed first?"

"Yeah, I might as well." She got off the bed and grabbed a pair of boxer shorts along with a tank top out of her dresser. Without even thinking about it and forgetting he was there Nessa started stripping her clothes off in front of Joe.

"Damn woman." Joe hissed and Nessa jumped.

"Shit! I forgot you were here for a minute." She giggled nervously.

"It's okay babe...I was enjoying the view." Nessa shrugged and finished changing. Then she moved back over to the bed while Joe put the movie in. "You seen this before?" He asked, lying down beside her.

"Once. It's really good, plays with your mind a lot though." Joe wrapped his arm around Nessa and pulled her closer so that she was snuggled up to his side just as the movie started. About halfway through the movie Nessa was idly running her hand up and down Joe's chest as he laid there moaning softly. The more she did it, the more intense his moans became which turned Nessa on. She stopped suddenly making him turn and look at her. "I want you." Nessa whispered.

"Are you sure babe?" He asked, his voice husky with desire. "Because once I start...I'm not going to be able to stop."

"I'm sure Joe, please." That was all he needed to hear and he proceeded to make good on his promise of having to remind her what a phone was.
