Ok so I know it has been a few days now since I've posted, but I have good reason...writer's block. I really wasn't sure what I wanted to happen, but hopefully I came up with something you all like. It's longer than I had planned, but figured since I made you all wait, I'd make it another long ch. And again thanks for the reviews for last ch. Enjoy!

(Maureen's POV)

It's about six o'clock on Friday evening and I'm pacing the apartment waiting on Joanne to get home from work. All day I have been dreading our girls' night tonight with Mimi and Eden. Only reason I even agreed to this was because I knew Joanne wanted to go; I definitely was not looking forward to this evening. Mimi had called me earlier today; she didn't really say much of what she had planned, I'm not sure she had anything specifically planned whatsoever except for us all going to the comedy club that we were meeting at. A friend of hers from the CatScratch was dating the bouncer and she got Mimi the tickets. I was so nervous about tonight; I really didn't want to get into it with Eden, but I knew it wouldn't take much for her to piss me off and then shit would hit the ceiling.

I walked back to the bedroom; figured I'd lay down for a while. Maybe take a quick nap; it would pass the time and hopefully get my mind off of this evening. But despite my best efforts I couldn't fall asleep. I had so much running threw my mind, I just laid there tossing and turning.

"Maureen…you here?" I heard Joanne's voice ringing throughout the apartment about thirty minutes later. "Maureen?"

I jumped out of bed, thankful she was finally home. I met her as she was coming down the hallway; her arms full with random things, I'm guessing work that she would have to catch up on this weekend.

"There you are," she gleefully said as she leaned over lightly kissing my lips.

I reached over grabbing some of the stuff out of her arms and carried it back to the bedroom. She put all of it away in exactly the right spots and then turned taking me in her arms; staring straight into my eyes. "Thank you baby for doing this tonight, I really appreciate it."

"Oh it's nothing," I was lying straight through my teeth.

"Maureen," she knew I was lying, I could tell by the tone in her voice. "I know you'd rather be doing a million other things than spending the evening with Eden."

"Well….that's true," I flirtatiously replied as I started running my hands down her back until they reached her ass.

She giggled, pulled me in closer to her body, and began kissing me. I was so happy that we were back to the way we used to be before Steve came into our lives. We both were completely happy and in love; I couldn't ask for more out of my life right now. "Come on baby if we don't leave we're going to be late," she muttered as she pulled away from me.

"Okay," my tone sounding rather disappointed; because I was, "this should be a fun night," I mumbled sarcastically as I gathered my things and headed out of the apartment with Joanne.

(Joanne's POV)

The entire way to the comedy club I was basically pulling Maureen along. She was making it very obvious she didn't want to be there; which was starting to get annoying because she had agreed to this evening. However, I knew the only reason she had agreed was because of me, which totally made me even love her more somehow, so I couldn't be too mad at her.

When we made it to the comedy club, Mimi and Eden were waiting outside on us. When Maureen spotted them, she pulled me closer to her. I rolled my eyes at her, "be good," I mumbled to her. She just got a smirk on her face and kept a tight hold onto me. Then Mimi noticed us coming down the street and got this excited, giggly look on her face. Eden, on the other hand, looked quite uneasy standing there seeing us walk towards them.

"Yay, you're here," Mimi seemed like she was ready to burst from excitement. I don't know if she was trying to convince herself that nothing terribly wrong would happen tonight or if she was just that naïve. But anyway I played along, appearing to be just as excited as she was, hugging her as she bounced over towards me.

Everyone exchanged their hellos, even Eden and Maureen let out a faint hello to each other. "This is going to be so much fun," Mimi was acting like a little school girl being all giggly; I wonder if she's drunk already. "Come on let's go," she quickly turned and headed towards the front door. Maureen quickly grabbed my hand, gave me a quick peck on the lips and followed Mimi's lead. Eden gave me this little half grin as she followed in line behind me to enter the club. What have I got myself into?

(Maureen's POV)

I was glad that Mimi had decided that we'd first go to this comedy club. It was helping me get used to the idea of having to be around Eden this evening without having to deal with her at the moment. All four of us sat there, laughing our asses off at these comics. I was actually having a good time. I was around my girlfriend and one of my best friends, I couldn't ask for anything more. I was glad too that I was getting to see Joanne laughing and having a good time again. I loved her laugh and I've missed hearing it so much lately. Mimi was sitting beside Eden, literally in pain from laughing so much and ready to pee her pants I'm sure; the five Whiskey Sours she has had probably has something to do with that as well. And then there was Eden sitting across from me. I guess some part of me was glad that she was out with us tonight too. She was Mark's girlfriend and he really seemed to love her, so I guess I could try to like her, for Mark and Joanne I guess. But I was finding myself, shall I say marking my territory as far as Joanne was concerned. I don't think at any point throughout the show did I ever let go of Joanne. I was either holding her hand, had my arm around her, rubbing her leg, or sneaking in a few quick kisses.

By the time the show was over, we had a very drunk Mimi and Joanne on our hands. Since they were so drunk, we decided to just go back to Mimi's apartment and hang out there for the rest of the night. So on the way there we stopped by a liquor store and bought some liquor, not like Mimi or Joanne really needed it, but both were insisting we buy some, so we did. The entire way back to Mimi's place, Mimi and Joanne were dancing around the sidewalks, completely goofing off; leaving a very silent, awkward walk back for Eden and me who trailed behind.

(Maureen's POV)

We finally made it back to Mimi's apartment. As soon as we walked in they both headed straight for the kitchen to get us all cups for the liquor. It was quite hilarious to see the two of them stumbling all over themselves, literally falling down a few times, and laughing their asses off at how funny they thought everything was, and I do mean everything.

Mimi and Joanne were nice enough to pour each of us a cup and bring it into the living room where Eden and I were sitting in absolute silence.

"Here you go baby," Joanne stumbled her way across the room over to the couch where I was sitting. She nearly collapsed on my lap, almost spilling both cups all over me. "Oops," she giggled realizing what she had almost done, "now that would have been a waste of damn good liquor."

"I'll drink to that," a drunk Mimi tipped back her cup taking a huge swig of her vodka. Mimi and Joanne were uncontrollably laughing; which was causing Eden and me to laugh as well. "Oh wait, wait," Mimi stood up off of the floor which she had fallen onto not but a few moments before. She had gotten completely serious, "I have an idea."

Bravely I asked, "what?"

"Let's play truth or dare!" Joanne and her were now literally jumping up and down at their excitement to play truth or dare.

"I hate truth or dare," Eden finally mumbled from the chair. "Anything else Mimi, please," she was begging her. You could literally see the pleading in her eyes.

"Oh no, no Eden," Mimi had went over and sat on Eden's lap, running her hands threw her hair, "it's girls' night and during girls' night we play truth or dare." Mimi's voice sounded like she was trying to explain something to a two year old.

"Fine, whatever," she knew she wasn't going to win this battle so she accepted her defeat and decided to play.

"Great!" Mimi was then jumping off of Eden's lap positioning herself yet again on the floor. "Where's Joanne?" Mimi squealed; I had been paying attention to Mimi and Eden that I hadn't even realized that Joanne wasn't in the room any longer.

"Here I am!" I heard her scream as she stumbled back into the living room, bottles of liquor in both hands. "Figure we might need these in here with us!" She laughed, took a huge gulp of one, and then came over to join me on the couch.

So there we all four sat ready to play a game I hadn't played since I was in junior high school. Mimi was completely giddy sitting on the floor, ready to burst from excitement. Eden was reluctantly playing, beginning to drink heavier. I was curled up at one end of the couch with my arm around Joanne who was snuggled right up against me; her one free hand wrapped around my leg.

"Joanne, truth or dare," Mimi questioned her, looking like she was ready to go in for the kill.

"Truth," she repositioned herself in my arms preparing herself for the question.

"What's the best sex you've ever had? And you have to tell us who it was with and where it was at?" Mimi clapped at her own question. I could see Joanne looking at me from the corner of her eye; an evil little grin coming across her face.

"Well," she was drumming her fingers on her chin, looking like she was in deep thought over what the answer may be. She better say me. She stayed there in that position thinking for quite sometime.

"Pookie any day now you can answer," seriously she better say me.

"Ok," she jumped at the excitement of telling her story, "of course it was with Maureen. It was when we first started dating," she looked over at me the devilish grin returning to her face, "it was in Central Park," she blurted out. Mimi and Eden almost died. Joanne turned back facing the two of them who were about to loose it, "it was amazing." With that she turned back to me, kissing me until Mimi threw a pillow at us.

"My turn," Joanne proclaimed, "Maureen truth or dare," she had to pick me didn't she.

"Dare," I got this 'bring your best shot' look on my face.

"Ok. I dare you to lick the bottom of Mimi's foot."

"That's disgusting Joanne," she just smiled and chugged down the rest of her vodka. I then looked over to Mimi who already had her shoe off extending her leg up in the air. "Fine." I took a drink, walked over and licked Mimi's foot, took another drink, and then slapped Joanne on the leg for making me do that.

"Eden truth or dare."

Reluctantly she muttered, "truth," and settled further back into the chair awaiting my question.

By this time I too was starting to feel pretty drunk and maybe that's why I even bought it up, but before I really knew what I was saying it came out. "How many girls have you kissed and name them." Joanne's eyes immediately shot over to me; even drunk she was in complete shock of what I had asked.

"Well," Eden's eyes were now fixated on the floor, her tone rather quiet, "just one girl," then the long awkward pause, "it was Joanne."

"Oh," I sarcastically remarked and then started rubbing my hand up and down Joanne's thigh. "Your turn Eden."

Our game continued on for quite awhile. We had got to hear about the first time Mimi ever had sex, Eden's first time going down on a guy, Joanne's first encounter with a female, and my sexual fantasy. When I answered that Joanne leaned over and whispered in my ear, we could do that, I can't wait. As the game progressed further and we each got more intoxicated, people started becoming braver and choosing the dare option. Because of this we had to witness Mimi dancing around the room naked and Joanne chugging two beers that had been left in the fridge by Roger in under a minute. But then it was Mimi's turn again which bought one of the most awkward moments of all night.

"Maureen, truth or dare?"

"Dare."

I heard her giggling from the floor as I finished off my vodka. "I dare you to make out with Eden."

"What?" I heard a shocked Eden say from her seat.

I too was in stunned by Mimi's dare; glancing back and forth from Joanne to Mimi. "Come on Meems," I was trying to reason with her on this one. First off, I didn't want to kiss Eden and second off, hello my girlfriend is sitting right beside me; the girlfriend who Eden once liked.

"Come on Maureen go to it, she dared you," I shockingly heard Joanne pipe up from beside me. "Go, get her." She was giggling; sure she thought this was funny, I'd make her pay later for egging this on.

"Go," Mimi started in on me. Then Mimi and Joanne started chanting, "kiss her, kiss her," till finally I couldn't stand it anymore. I accepted my defeat and walked over to Eden, leaning down and kissing her. Nothing too intense and there was definitely no tongue; she wasn't a bad kisser though. When we finished our kiss we received a standing ovation from Mimi and Joanne.

We didn't play too much longer. Nothing quite as crazy as that being dared or no real crazy truths being asked either. I did find out though that Eden enjoyed whipped cream and hot fudge.

(Maureen's POV)

Our game of truth or dare never really officially ended; we each just started sharing stories with one another. And not all of them were sexual stories; most of them were, but not all of them.

I could tell that Mimi and Joanne's buzz was wearing off because they had become very quiet and calm. Joanne had curled up in my lap, resting her head on my shoulder, barely speaking. Mimi had curled up on the other end of the couch, staring off into space. She would actually join in the conversations though. But that didn't last for too long.

"Joanne let's go see if there is any liquor in the kitchen," Mimi was up on her feet, pulling Joanne off of my lap.

"Ok," she shrugged her shoulders, leaned over to kiss me, and then they were both gone in search of alcohol.

An uncomfortable silence fell over the living room. This was the first time since Eden had told me about her love affair for Joanne that we had been alone with each other. Our eyes were wondering around the room, attempting to do anything but make eye contact with one another.

"Do you have to be all over her when you're in front of me?" I heard Eden spat off from her chair.

"She's my girlfriend and if I want to be all over her I can," I fired back at her.

"You only do it because you think it'll make me jealous," she mockingly remarked. "That's pretty sad that the only reason you are showing any type of affection to your own girlfriend is because you want to make someone else jealous."

"For your information," I was now standing, my voice getting louder, "I could give a fuck if you are around or not."

She too was now on her feet walking over towards me, "it's disgusting."

"You're just jealous because she's not kissing you and it's not your body she has her hands all over," I heatedly yelled back at her.

"But I'm the one she's thinking about," she sassed back.

And that's all it took. I swung right at her face making contact with her jaw, knocking her back. She was soon hitting me back as well. Punches were being thrown both ways and mainly at each others faces. I could tell I got a few good hits on her, but I could also tell she got a couple good ones on me as well. Eventually we both fell onto the ground rolling around, still punching now pulling hair and whatever else we could manage.

I soon felt someone pulling me off of Eden. Joanne quickly had her arms around my chest, pinning my arms to my body; restraining me from kicking Eden's ass. I saw Mimi have the same hold on Eden.

"What the hell is wrong with you two?" Mimi was screaming.

"That bitch started it," I yelled trying to get loose from Joanne's grips so I could go after Eden some more.

"Calm down," Joanne yelled, jerking me around so that I was now facing her, looking into her eyes instead of Eden's. "Maureen, baby, calm down," her voice was much gentler now, yet still stern.

"Look you two need to figure this shit out between you," I could hear Mimi saying from behind me. "I don't care who started it but you guys are going to end this ridiculous feud of yours tonight."

Joanne looked deeper into my eyes, I could see pleading with me to try and end this whole mess. "Baby please try," she whispered; and for her, and only her, I'd try.

"Ok you two are going to be locked up until you fix this," Mimi was now pushing both of us towards her bedroom. "You are going to stay in here until you can act like mature human beings. If you want to act like five year olds, I'll treat you like five year olds." She shoved both of us into her room, "And," she added as she was getting ready to shut the door, "If you guys fight in here and mess up any of my shit, I'm going to kick both of your asses." With that both Mimi and Joanne left, leaving Eden and me alone in Mimi's room.

We sat in there forever in complete silence; we weren't even looking in each other's direction. Finally, I had enough of the silence. Joanne had asked me to try and fix this so I was going to and if Eden planned on staying with Mark, we couldn't just let this go on like it was.

"Can I ask you something Eden," she looked over at me and just nodded, "just tell me why you always find it necessary to still comment on me not deserving Joanne? Or why you would say anything about me dating her? You said you didn't want to be with her anymore." I was over the fact really that Eden liked Joanne at one point, because I knew that Joanne wasn't leaving me, I knew that she loved me, so I wasn't scared that I was going to loose her. I just needed to understand why Eden still acted the way she did towards me.

"Even though I don't want to be with Joanne like that anymore," she was now running her fingers across the arms of the chair, "I still think that Joanne needs someone who'll treat her better than you do." Her voice was very somber. "When I saw her that night, she was a complete wreck; I'll never be able to forget how much pain she was in that night because of you. And she deserves someone who doesn't make her feel like that."

"What? We got in a fight, couples get into fights, but we apologize and make up. And you don't think I was hurting that night." I was fighting back every ounce of rage inside of me, trying not to start yelling at her again; it was hard though. "How do I not treat her right? What have you seen me do that's so bad towards her? I love her, I take care of her, I make her laugh, what else do you want from me?" By the time I got through all of these questions I was yelling at her; sitting at the edge of the bed glaring at her.

"I don't know Maureen," she looked confused and defeated. "Maybe it is that I'm still just jealous that you got her, that she chose you and not me. I mean I love Mark and if I had to decide between the two of them, I'd choose Mark. But there is just something inside of me that gets so pissed off because she's with you. I just don't get what's so great about Maureen Johnson."

I was completely stunned by her last comment. I was utterly speechless.

"Look Maureen," she paused and then looked back up towards me, "I've got to go." With that she stood up out of her chair and walked out of the room. I heard her talking a little bit with Mimi and Joanne and then I heard the front door shut. I couldn't move though. I just sat there. Then slowly I saw the door being opened and Joanne walking into the room.

"Hey baby," her voice was soft and loving, "care if I sit down." I patted the empty spot beside me on Mimi's bed. She walked over sitting beside me, wrapping her arm around my shoulders. I was holding back the tears; but tears of what I wasn't sure. She just held me though, rocking me in her arms, not asking any questions. Yet another thing I loved about her; she knew exactly when I just needed to be held, to feel loved.

Eventually we got up and walked out of Mimi's bedroom. Mimi was sitting on the kitchen counter and when she saw us she jumped down walking over to us, wrapping her arms around us both. "Hey why don't you guys just stay here tonight? It's late and you both have had a long night. You guys can have my bed; I'll sleep on the couch."

"Mimi we can't do that," Joanne spoke up.

"Sure you can watch." She grabbed both of us and turned us around; walking us back into her bedroom. Then she turned down her bed and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her.

Joanne and I just looked at each other and climbed in bed. She was quickly scooting up behind me wrapping her arms around me. I grabbed hold of arms and cuddled into her as much as I could.

"I love you baby," she softly whispered into my ear as she kissed me goodnight on the cheek.

"I love you too," I replied. She squeezed me a little tighter and we both fell asleep. And that was the end of our girls' night.

So hope that was worth the wait and you all liked it...let me know. And hopefully this writer's block is over and I'll have the next ch up quicker. Thanks for reading!
