~Hey, sorry it took a while to update this chapter, but with me being in high school, I needed to take and make sure I did well on my regents and I think I did well. It sucks being a freshman sometimes. Anyways, onto the story!~

Chapter 3: Blushing and Massages

I stood up off the couch and stretched, yawning a little loudly. "Man, I'm beat. We should get to bed."

Joey nodded in agreement and he stood up too, waiting as I switched the lights off and we headed towards the room.

Joey looked at Shane's bed and then looked around the room, seemingly looking for something. "Um... where do I sleep?"

Oh, this was too good of a chance to pass up. I'm evil.

I decided to mess with him a little. "What do you mean 'where do you sleep'? I thought we were going to sleep together like couples do."

Joey looked at me for a moment before laughing lightly and, playing along, said in a deep voice, "Hmm... I don't think we're going to do much 'sleeping' if we do."

I involuntarily gulped at the tone he used and, since it went unnoticed, clung to his arm like a clingy girlfriend. "Baby, you really know how to make a girl happy."

We laughed at this and I moved away, going to the messy closet and pulling out a inflatable futon. "THIS is what you're gonna sleep on. Trust me gurl, it's like sleepin' on a cloud."

Joey laughed and helped me set it up, and when I started pumping air into it with the small pump it came with, Joey said, "Gurl, you're good at pumping."

I blushed a little for some unknown reason, but shook it off and laughed, pumping a little bit faster for effect. "You like that?" I asked sexily, making him laugh and joke along.

"Mmmmnnnn... oh yeah, that's good..." Joey moaned, but even though it held laughter, the sound still made my cheeks heat up more, but I forced a laugh as I finished filling the futon with air.

"There you go, a bed worth sleeping on. I'll go get some blankets and I'll be right back, so no masturbating while I'm gone." I said, making joey laugh and roll his eyes.

"Just go get the blankets." He said and I nodded once before hurrying out to go get them.

'Man, what's wrong with me?' I asked, mentally kicking myself for being so... feminine. I took a couple of blankets off the shelf in the 'extra stuff' room and made my back to my room.

Upon entering, I saw Joey was lying on the futon, sprawled out. My eyes traveled over him and I saw that his shirt was lifted a bit above his stomach.

Even I had to admit, he had a nice torso...

My face heated up again and I threw the blankets over him to cover him, even though the image is burned into my mind. Joey lifted the covers off of himself and looked at me in shock. "What was that for?!"

I looked away as not to meet his gaze and I said, "Because your sexiness was too much for me and I don't want to take you just yet."

Joey looked at me, but laughed and threw a pillow from my bed at me. I caught it and laughed, chucking the pillow right back at him. "Shane... you seriously should get help."

"Hey, I am completely normal." I defended myself, but laughed at the obvious lie. "Okay, okay, I know I'm not normal, but I don't think a therapist can deal with my fucked up self."

Joey was thoughtful for a moment, and he nodded. "You would probably make your therapist get a therapist."

I held my hand to my chest and feigned a hurt expression. "That is so mean! I'm not that messed up!" I said with a fake, hurt voice.

Joey held his hands up in surrender, "Okay, okay, you're not. I'm sorry."

I plopped down on my bed in exhaustion, but I sat on something and I sat up to receive it and saw it was a nice sized bottle of lotion I got yesterday.

I shrugged and tossed it to Joey who fumbled to catch it, reading the bottle. "Midnight Lilly? Really?" He asked me incredulously and I shrugged my shoulders.

"I don't know, it smelled nice, so I thought, 'Why not?' and bought it." Joey shook his head at my explanation, but didn't question it further.

"Hey, remember when you said you gave good massages?" Joey asked me suddenly. I nodded my head yes and he continued, my face a bit red. "Well... why don't you give me one? I'll give you one too."

I looked at him for a moment, then looked down at the bottle of lotion in his hand, nodding. "Sure, why not." Joey stood up and went to my bed, handing me the bottle and then lying down on his stomach with his shirt over his head.

Blushing deeply, I crawled over and, straddled over his hips, opened the bottle of lotion. Pouring some on my hands, I placed them on Joey's back, rubbing the lotion into it.

My hands glided over Joey's back and worked the kinks out of his tensed muscles. I could feel rather than hear Joey's content groans and sighs as I massaged his back.

"D-Does that feel alright?" I asked shyly, blushing madly at the sounds coming from him. I saw Joey nod his head.

"Y-Yeah, it feels amazing. God, you must be some kind of massaging goddess." He said, visibly relaxed and just enjoying the ministrations I was giving him.

'D-Damn it, Joey! Stop making me blush like a school girl!' I thought, a bit flattered, but overall frustrated that Joey was being so... Joey.

I patted his back twice and slid off his back. "Okay, I think that's good." I said and put the cap back on the bottle.

Joey sat up and, without putting his shirt back on, took the bottle and looked at me expectantly. "What?" I asked, confused.

"Well, I have to repay the favor. So, now it's your turn." I looked at the bottle in his hands and, attempting not to panic, I said as calmly as possible, "It's alright, you don't have to do that."

Joey shook his head. "No, I have to pay you back for that. I don't know if I can do as good of a job as you, but I can try."

I gulped and tried to convince him. "No, really, it's alright. My back is horribly hairy and I don't want you to get lost in it." Wow. Way to go, Shane. Give him even more of a reason to think you're weird.

Joey rolled his eyes at what I said. "I doubt it's that hairy, now stop resisting and just let me repay you."

I really can't keep on telling him no when he persists so much. Blushing, I sighed and took off my shirt in defeat, lying down on the bed on my stomach.

I jumped a little as I felt Joey sit on my lower back, but attempted to relax as I hid my blushing face in my pillow. I heard the pop of the cap as Joey opened the bottle and poured it into his hands.

My body was tense, but it was a bit from nerves more than aching muscles. I visibly jumped as Joey placed his hands on my back, making Joey stop a moment.

"Are you alright?" He asked me, worry clear in his voice. I forced myself to nod and to take a deep breathe.

"Okay. Relax." Joey said and started to massage my back. He wasn't as good as I was, but his hands felt amazing on his skin. It wasn't that bad...

I yelped when Joey touched a certain part of my back, making Joey stop immediately. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" Joey asked, a bit panicked.

"N-No, y-you di-didn't hurt m-me." I stuttered out, my face flushed scarlet. Joey didn't sound convinced. "Then why did you scream?" He asked, still worried.

I sighed. "T-the back of m-my neck i-is s-sensitive." I mumbled, embarrassed. I turned my head a little to look at Joey. He was blushing.

"O-oh. Um... s-sorry, then." He said, looking a bit embarrassed himself. For some reason, the knowledge of him being embarrassed too made me feel a bit better.

"It's alright. You can continue if you want. Your massages are pretty good." I said, hearing Joey sigh in relief.

"I told you I would repay you well." Joey said, his tone suggesting he was smiling. I grinned.

"That you did. But, you know, you sitting on my back like that is making it a bit difficult to do other things..." I trailed off jokingly, making it sound suggestive.

I saw Joey's cheeks tint pink, but he laughed. "Well, sorry to tell you this, but you're gonna have to wait till tomorrow."

I sighed exaggeratedly. "Aw... but I'm horny NOW." Joey laughed and I laughed too, and then it went silent.

It wasn't an uncomfortable silence. In fact, it was welcome as I enjoyed the feeling of Joey's hands massage my back, making every nerve tingle from his light touch.

I kinda don't want him to stop.
