(Joanne's POV)

I woke up the next morning to the feeling of Maureen's lips against my forehead. Slowly I opened my eyes to see Maureen staring at me, her eyes lit up seeing that I was now awake.

"Good morning fiancé," she giggled.

I let out a little smirk as I pulled my body on top of Maureen's. "Good morning," I replied as I kissed her. Her hands were now rubbing my bare ass; a huge grin on her face. I reached back down to kiss her; longer and harder this time. My lips left hers, tracing down her body. As I was kissing her stomach, I placed each of my hands on the inside of her thighs, pulling them apart so that I could satisfy her once more. I traced my tongue around her, teasing her, as my hands made their way back up her body. She was letting out faint whimpers of pleasure and anticipation. My tongue then entered into her, causing her whimpers to become loud moans. I had only one goal in mind, to satisfy her in only ways she told me I knew how. Her hips began thrusting and I could hear her screaming my name out; so apparently I was achieving my goal. I pulled my tongue out of her, tracing it around her once again, before returning my lips to hers. She was panting, barely able to speak to me.

"Now your turn," but I stopped her from turning me over onto my back.

"Just you, this morning is just all about you," I told her as my fingers found their way into where my tongue was just minutes before. She bit her lower lip as I my fingers explored inside of her. I could see the satisfaction of what I was doing coming over her face, her body writhing beneath mine.

"Oh God Joanne, you are so fucking good at this," she screamed out. She continued moaning and groping my body until she climaxed, her body collapsing further into the bed. "That….was…. incredible," she said, her eyes closed, a huge smile covering her face.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it," I whispered into her ear as I started nibbling at it.

We remained in bed for quite sometime, my body still lying on top of Maureen. Finally, though I pulled my head off of her chest seeing her disappointed face at the fact that I was ending our fun. "Come on, we better get ready," I started, "we have a big announcement to tell everyone," I reached down grabbing a hold of her left hand, bringing it into my view so that I could admire how beautiful and perfect it looked on her hand.

I slowly slid off of her, making my way to the bathroom to get a shower. I had expected Maureen to follow me, but she didn't; she was still lying naked in the bed when I emerged back into the bedroom after my shower.

"Baby get up," I was now yelling at her.

"Fine I'm up," she reluctantly climbed out of bed and made her way to me, her face only inches from mine. "You took a shower without me?"

"You could have gotten your lazy ass out of bed and joined me," I remarked as I wrapped my arms around her.

"You didn't invite me," she pouted.

"I think that ring gives you a full time pass to join me at anytime."

She giggled, admiring her ring once again. "I love you," she excitedly told me as she quickly kissed me.

"I love you," I flirtatiously proclaimed, slapping her bare ass as she walked by me to go get her shower.


(Maureen's POV)

Joanne and I had gotten ready and called everyone asking them to meet us at Roger's. Of course there were a million questions about why we were so urgent on everyone meeting up, but of course neither of us gave anyone any hints about our news.

We made it to the loft, purposefully slightly later than what we had told everyone; we wanted to make sure everyone was there when we got there so we wouldn't have to wait. We stood outside of the door; our hands latched together, my heart racing with excitement, ready to share with our friends the biggest news of our lives.

"It's about time," I heard Mimi screaming as the loft door flew open. "Come on, everyone's been waiting," she continued as she grabbed hold of Joanne's free hand dragging us inside. I realized that my free hand was my left hand, so my ring was very visible so I slid it into my coat pocket keeping it hid for just a while longer.

"Finally," Mark proclaimed as he stood from his seat, "you all have us worried, what's going on?" Everyone looked completely confused and anxious to hear our news. Joanne and I stood in front of them unable to contain our excitement.

"Well," I started, looking over at Joanne whose face was glowing, "last night Joanne and I..." I had paused for a moment unwillingly giving Roger enough time to add in one of his smart ass comments.

"If you guys just want to tell us about you guys having sex, I'm going to enjoy the story and then kill you for making me worry." Everyone kind of snickered at his comment; I looked over at Joanne smiling ear from ear…

"We're engaged," I calmly told them, my eyes never leaving Joanne's.

Joanne and I were soon being pulled apart, both being enveloped in hugs and kisses. Our friends were genuinely excited for us.

"Let me see the ring," Mimi screamed from excitement. I pulled my hand out of my coat pocket revealing my gorgeous platinum ring. Mimi gasped as its beauty. "Oh Joanne," she shouted, "it's beautiful." I looked over at Joanne, who seemed rather pleased with herself.

Everyone was still offering their congratulations to us when I turned to see Eden walking up to me. Everyone got silent as she made her way to me.

"Congratulations Maureen, I'm really happy for you," then she leaned over hugging me. I was in a complete state of shock.

"Thank you Eden," I replied.

Joanne walked over to me, wrapping her arm around my waist as she kissed me on the cheek. I was so happy right now; everything seemed so perfect in this moment. I was engaged to the love of my life and I was getting to share it with the greatest friends I've ever known.

"Oh we have to celebrate tonight," Collins spoke up, excitement ringing through his voice.

"Definitely," Mimi chimed in. "Let's go to a strip club," her face lit up at her idea.

No one seemed to object to the idea, so we all decided that we'd meet back up at Roger's around nine to go celebrate the engagement.


(Maureen's POV)

Just as we had planned everyone was back at Roger's at nine ready to go to the strip club. It was a newer strip club in Greenwich Village; they had male and female strippers. The guy who owned it swore that deep down everyone was bisexual so he decided to open a place to celebrate that; either way I didn't care, wasn't planning on paying too much attention to anyone but Joanne.

All eight of us made our way into the club and found an empty table towards the back of the club. It was actually very crowded in here; nice though. The stage actually went all the way around the room with a main center stage connected.

"Here's the first round," Collins proclaimed as he sat down eight shots on the table. Everyone took a shot glass, raised it in the air as he toasted, "to Joanne and Maureen, I love you guys." Everyone shot back their straight tequila shot; most of us flinching at it going down.

We all settled down around our table. Even though there were plenty of seats, I sat on Joanne's lap, cuddling into her as much as I could. Roger then showed up with eight drinks; wouldn't tell us what he got, said to just drink it. It was free, so we all did what he said.

"Joanne I think you need a lap dance," Mimi giggled from Roger's lap.

"No thanks Mimi. Not that you aren't good at them, but I'll pass," Joanne replied.

"Not from me, from one of the dancers," a huge grin came over Mimi's face, "they take you on stage….oh you have to do it." And before Joanne or I could stop her, Mimi was running up to the stage paying for Joanne's on stage lap dance.

Shortly after, a tall blond wearing nearly nothing, came up to our table asking for Joanne. I could feel myself getting jealous that this girl was going to be rubbing her business all of my girlfriend; didn't really like the idea. But I trusted Joanne and it was all in good fun anyway, right?

"Damn Maureen, your girlfriend is basically having sex up there," Mark pointed out as the stripper flipped herself upside down on Joanne. "Looks like she's enjoying it too," he laughed.

"You do know that Joanne is going to expect you to learn all of those moves now," Collins added. "Think you can wrap your legs around her neck like that?" amazement came over his face at what this stripper was able to do.

"I don't think Joanne is minding at all," Roger added in, "look at that smile on her face," he pointed out. I wasn't finding it all that funny.

"Chica is enjoying herself," Mimi was on her feet, dancing around, and enjoying watching my girlfriend get a lap dance.

"Come on guys, lay off of Maureen," surprisingly Eden was the one who was defending me. I just sat there, trying not to become too jealous or upset that my girlfriend did seem to be enjoying herself, maybe a little too much.

"That girl was all over you," Mark commented when Joanne returned to our table, slightly flushed I might add. "Was it good?"

"I've had better," Joanne shrugged as she sat down on my lap kissing me. "You ok baby," she quietly asked me, I guess she could tell I wasn't so excited about her little lap dance, "oh baby are you jealous? You want one?" she was baby talking to me, rubbing her hand through my hair.

I couldn't help but smile; she just looked too damn cute. "One from you later," I flirtatiously replied as my hand rubbed the inside of her thigh.

"Get a room," Roger shouted from beside us.

"So what shall we drink next?" Joanne was eagerly asking as she turned around facing everyone.

"How about a peppermint paddy?" Eden exclaimed.

"What in the hell is that?" Collins curiously asked as he finished off his beer.

"Oh, you've never heard of them," we all shook our heads no, "I'll be right back." And with that Eden and Mark were making their way to the bar to get our next round of shots.

"Here we go," Eden proudly stated as she sat down eight shot glasses filled with some sort of liquor and a couple bottles of Hershey syrup.

"What in the hell?" Roger asked as he picked up the Hershey syrup bottle, "Hershey syrup with liquor? What ever happened to good ole straight shots of whiskey or tequila?"

"Oh Roger, just try it," Eden fired back at him. She explained to all of us what to do and each of us took our shot glass and waited for a bottle of syrup.

Joanne reached over and grabbed one of the bottles, pouring the syrup in my mouth for me so that I could take the shot. After I took mine I took the bottle from her and accidentally of course, missed her mouth squirting chocolate all over her lips.

"Here let me get that for you," I seductively leaned over to her, licking off the syrup from her lips.

We all continued to celebrate, Mark and Roger both taking their own turns getting lap dances on stage from two other female strippers. Roger looked as though he was enjoying his more than Mark was; Mark looked slightly embarrassed. Collins was passed out in his chair; half a beer still left in his hand. Mimi, Eden, Joanne, and I all sat at the table watching the boys get their lap dances, laughing and yelling from our seats. Mimi and I decided we needed more drinks so we went up to the bar to get round number….oh hell I have no idea. But when we returned to our table, I felt some jealously flowing into my body. The stripper, who had given Joanne her lap dance, was sitting at our table flirting with her.

"Hey," I bluntly said as I sat down our drinks on the table. I was shooting daggers at this girl; I don't think she even noticed me though.

"Here's your drink Eden," Mimi was quickly handing Eden her drink, reaching in between the stripper and Joanne to do so.

I grabbed my drink and sat down in the seat next to Joanne, pissed off; she hadn't spoken to me since I got back. Damn it I'm suppose to be her fiancé and she's sitting over here flirting with some stripper right in front of me. I could feel my face getting warm; I wanted to hit this damn stripper.

"Hey baby," I felt Joanne reach over and touch my arm, "why are sitting over there for?" she had a very confused look on her face, "come over here." She took hold of my hand leading me back over to sit on her lap. When I sat down her arm was around my waist; pulling me tightly against her. "Oh sorry," she continued, "Maureen this is Maya," she has a name, "Maya this is," she looked up into my eyes, "my fiancé Maureen." Her hand was then on the back of my neck pulling my head down to her, intensely kissing me. Every bit of jealousy or anger I was feeling just minutes ago was gone; she was flaunting me in front of this girl, I loved it.

"Aren't they cute," Mimi piped in from across the table.

Joanne got a little smirk on her face, "well thank you Mimi. I think we are pretty damn cute too."

Mark and Roger finally made it back to the table just as Maya the stripper was leaving. Roger had the cheesiest grin on his face; Mark on the other hand looked rather terrified.

"I didn't know there were women who could do things like that?" he shockingly said as he sat down.

"Ouch, that's got to hurt Eden," I laughed.

"Hey you dated him too," she had a good point. Everyone started laughing, except for Eden and me.

"I don't know Mark, Maureen's done some of those moves on me," Joanne said rather satisfied with her comeback.

"Oohhh, now what Mark," Roger laughed from his seat. Mark didn't say anything; I don't know if he knew what to say. Everyone else was loosing it; I was making out with my girlfriend.

"You two have got to stop that," Mark disgustingly remarked.

"Oh leave them alone Mark, it's cute," Eden sweetly fired back at him, "I wish you'd be more romantic with me out in public."

"I'm romantic," Mark argued. Eden just rolled her eyes.

Collins finally rejoined the living and was over at the bar flirting with some guy. I was happy for him though; he hasn't dated anyone since Angel died. I don't think I've even seen him flirting with anyone else since Angel.

Roger and Mimi had gone to the bathroom about an hour ago. As they were walking off, Mimi remarked that she wanted to add one more public place to their list. So I'm pretty sure they are having sex right now; glad I went to the bathroom already.

Mark and Eden were snuggled up to each other; both of them passed out. They actually looked very cute there together. I'm glad that Mark has found someone who makes him happy; his eyes light up when he sees or even talks about Eden. And even though Eden and I haven't ever been on the greatest of terms; she is actually kind of nice for the most part. I'm glad to some extent that Joanne has someone who cares that much about her happiness besides me of course; I just think Eden went a little psycho with wanting Joanne to be happy.

Joanne was presently straddling me in my chair. Her fingers were running through my massive curls; my hands were on her ass. I love her so much; I never knew that loving some much this much was ever possible. There she was this gorgeous, intelligent, sexy woman sitting on my lap and she was mine forever.

"Hey Maureen," she quietly spoke as she traced her thumb down my jaw bone, resting it under my chin then pulling my lips to hers. "I love you," she whispered right before she kissed me. Our lips stayed locked together, compassionately moving against one another's. The room went silent to me; the only person I knew that was even around me was Joanne. Every movement of her lips, her hands, it all felt more intense, more passionate than ever before. Slowly she pulled away from me; slowly everything else came back into focus.

"Hey Joanne," I eagerly stated, "we're getting married!"
