Chapter 3

3 months later Joe and Raven were still going strong. Joe would send her flowers at work and at home just to see her smile. They would text and Skype everyday. Joe would come down once a month to see her.

Raven was falling in love him and she did not mind it all. Joe decided to fly out early and surprise Raven at work. He went up to the office but she was not there. He asked Tina were she at and she told him she was around somewhere cause they had a show tonight.

" New Kids on the Block are performing tonight so she's around here somewhere" Tina said. Joe went to see if he could find her. Raven was with the guys from New Kids on the Block going over last minute changes with them .Joe saw them but kept his distance cause he knew she was working.

" Hey come watch us do a run through" said Jordan Knight. " Alright but I can't stay long" said Raven. Jordan grabbed Raven by the hand to take her down to the stage area. Joe got jealous at seeing this. Why didn't she pull away he thought.

Just then he saw Raven loosen her grip and let go of his hand. That made him smile. " hey why don't you come out with us after the show" asked Donnie Wahlberg. " um I don't think so" replied Raven. " aww come on just for a little while . I'll keep bugging you until you say yes" said Jordan Knight. Raven started laughing. "Ok but I can't stay long" Raven said. Jordan Knight smiled and they went to do their run through.

Afterwards they started to make their way to the dressing rooms when she spotted Joe. Raven got a huge smile and ran into his arms. "What are you doing here?" she asked. " I decided to surprise you" Joe said smiling as the guys from New Kids on the Block came towards them.

" Joe this is New Kids on the Block. Donnie Wahlberg, Joe McIntyre, Danny Wood, and Jordan and Jonathan Knight. Guys this is my boyfriend Joe Anoa'i" Raven said smiling. " It's nice to meet you all" Joe said as he shook their hands.

" you staying for the show tonight? " asked Jonathan. " um yea I guess I am" said Joe. " great! So you will be coming out with us after the show too?" asked Donnie. " looks that way to me" smiled Joe putting his arm around Raven. Joe had to admit to himself he really enjoyed the concert. They did go out but did not stay long.

Joe and Raven went back to Raven's house. This was the first time she was bringing him to her home. "Baby are you sure about this? I can always stay at a hotel" Joe said. " No I want you here " Raven said. They got off the car and Raven unlocked the door and took him up to her room and locked her door.

Joe took her in his arms and kissed her. Raven put her hands under his shirt and pulled it off. They stripped out of their clothes and made love. Joe brought Raven to ecstasy numerous times. No one had ever brought so much sexually pleasure as Joe has done to Raven. And Joe knew it.

The following morning they woke up and showered together and went downstairs so Raven could make breakfast. She had just poured them some coffee when her mom came in. "Mom this is my boyfriend Joe" Raven said. " it's nice to finally meet you Joe" her mom said." its nice to meet you too Raven talks about you" Joe said. Raven's mom smiled. " how long are you here for" her mom asked. " just until Monday morning" Joe replied. " well then I guess Raven is going to cook dinner tonight" her mom said smiling. " yeah I guess I am" said Raven. Raven decided to cook one of her speciality dishes. She just hoped Joe would like it. Alex had texted her and told her that Jon was in town. So she invited them to dinner.

Joe and Jon went to the gym and Alex and Raven went to the store to get what they needed for dinner. They were both undecided on what to get for dessert. They finally agreed on what to get and paid for the groceries. And went back to Raven's home.

"So how are things going with Joe? " asked Alex. " it's going good. I'm really happy" smiled Raven. " Well you look happy" said Alex. " how are things between you and Jon? " asked Raven. " They are good. I can't complain but he is an animal in the bed" smirked Alex.

" oh my god! Really! " laughed Raven. " oh yeah he is primal " said Alex. " Well I can tell you that Joe almost broke me on numerous occasions" replied Raven. " Girl let him break you!" smiled Alex.

They both were laughing and started dinner. Raven was preparing mango/lemon tilapia with rosemary wrapped in foil and baked in the oven, with steamed veggies and rice pilaf with cheesecake for dessert. Alex had bought two bottles of wine to go with dinner.

The guys arrived after their workout from the gym. Joe took a shower in Raven's room and Jon used the guest shower downstairs. After their showers they joined Raven's mom in the living room.

Once dinner was ready, Raven and Alex served them and told them to come and eat. Joe was amazed on how good of a cook Raven was. " this is really good baby" replied Joe. " yeah sunshine this is amazing" replied Jon. " thank you . I like to cook and try different recipes" Raven said. After dinner they took dessert out to the backyard with the two bottles of wine. It was a beautiful night so they sat on the patio chairs and relaxed.

Since Alex and Jon had been drinking, Raven told them they could stay in the guest room. They said their good night's and Raven showed Alex and Jon the guest room. Joe and Raven went into Raven's room and changed then lied down on her bed. " thank you for cooking dinner babygirl it was great" Joe smiled. " I'm glad too. I'm glad you enjoyed it" replied Raven. Joe kissed her and pulled her close and went to sleep.

Raven and Alex woke up and made breakfast for the guys. The guys got up and got ready and came down to the kitchen. After breakfast the decided to go to the beach. They had a great time and said next time they had to bring Jazzie and Colby.

Early Monday morning Alex and Raven to Joe and Jon to the airport. They were going on a European tour and would not see them for three months. It was going to be a long three months.
