I sorry for this being as late as it is, work is currently kicking my ass and the whole original chapter got deleted! So this is all I got for right now. Hopefully it's at least partially liked. Thanks for all the faves and follows so far, and I'm striving for the next chapter to be up before Christmas.

The next morning Barbara woke up to quite possibly the worst hangover that she ever had. She turned in her bed and it was in that very moment that she knew she wasn't alone. It was like her night was starting to replay in her mind as if it was a video being fast forwarded. She was at Trin's house for Thanksgiving, she met the twins cousin Joe, was overly flirty with said cousin and then they played some stupid immature game. That's all she had, but she was still coming up short for the answer as to why there was another body in bed next to her right now.

She had a pretty damn good idea of who was in her bed, but she knew she'd have to open her eyes to prove that theory. Except that was something that she felt was impossible with the hang over from hell. It wasn't until Joe shifted his position on the bed that her eyes popped open. Barbara had her back against him until he moved, and she felt him poking into the small of her back. That was enough to make her hop outta bed. She looked over the sleeping Samoan and had to take a moment to bask in his sexiness. How was it possible to look that good while sleeping? This fucker had to make a deal with the devil to look this good! He moved slightly and B took that as a notice to get the hell outta there. Quietly backing her way out the door and to the kitchen Trinity was already there making coffee.

"Oh look who's up! Have fun with Ro last night?" She said while smirking over her cup of coffee. B glared at her as she poured herself a glass of orange juice. "There was no fun to be had, Trinity. I went to my room and went to bed. That was it." Trin just smacked her lips.

"Why you acting like I'm gonna judge you for smashing, Ro? The least you could do is keep it one hundred with me of all people. You say nothing happened, and yet y'all went upstairs together, stayed in the same room. But you know what it's whatever if you don't wanna tell me what happened it's cool." Trin sucked her teeth as she moved around B to grab a fruit.

"I didn't do anything so there is nothing to tell! At least I don't think I did. Last thing I remember is walking up the stairs last night after playing that dumbass game. I woke up in all my clothes, but he was spooning me though. That's it, Trin. Stop being extra about it. I didn't get any last night ok!"

"Aww, that's a shame. I did though." Jon said as he walked into the kitchen.

"Eww! You know damn well that I don't want to hear or know that. Nasty ass. Care to explain to me why your cousin was in my bed this morning though? This is a big ass house ain't no reason for him to be in my room. Like, dude was all laid up on me and he is not light!"

"You couldn't have been too mad about it or you would've kicked him out rather than creeping out of your own room this morning. Yeah, I peeped that. Are you feeling Uce? Because if you are I can hook that up. I mean I know we consider you fam right now, but we can make that shit official you just give me the word." Jon said as he nudged her shoulder.

"First, I get this shit from Trin and now you too? How do you even know if I'm feeling your cousin like that? Y'all both acting like I'm all in love with his ass but I just met him yesterday. I don't know him and he doesn't know me. Why y'all pushing this so hard anyway? Neither one of you liked any of the dudes I tried to date before and now y'all are all but physically putting me in his lap!"

"I wouldn't mind that at all though. You can sit on my lap anytime you please, baby girl." Barbara's jaw dropped as she slowly turned around and looked into the dark brown eyes of none other than Joe. She didn't know what it was but hearing him call her baby girl did something to her. His voice still sounded ridiculously deep from sleep. How she didn't melt from that alone she didn't know, but what stunned her even more was the fact that he had let his hair down and it was currently cascading down his back and all she wanted to do was run her fingers through it.

"I think I'll pass on that, thanks. Trin, I'm about to go get cleaned up then I'm gonna head home I got stuff to do before I go to work." With that she turned to walk by Joe only to have him tug her arm to get her attention.

"Let me know if you need help washing your back." B snatched her arm away and rolled her eyes as she walked back up to her room.

"That man is too much to be dealing with this early in the morning. I mean who the fuck looks that good so early? Pretty bitch getting on my nerves, and then saying all that baby girl shit! Just breathe B, and then take your ass home far far away from the sexy Samoan."

"So you think I'm sexy?"

"Shit! Will you fucking stop sneaking up on me like that? Gonna give me a damn heart attack!" B said as she clutched her chest.

"Why are you so jumpy around me, and you still didn't answer my question. You think I'm sexy?" He was the biggest pain in the ass she'd ever met at the moment that's what he was, but she really didn't want to have to say the words out loud to his face so she just face planted into her bed.

"Why are you asking so many questions right now? Don't you realize I'm still hungover and it's not fair to ask questions to someone who is still technically drunk? Yes, you're sexy, but you already know that so I don't know why you need me to validate your ego. Now that I've admitted it can you please leave me alone? I can't take you being so YOU right now."

Joe just laughed at her mumbled words. He might have only known her for a little over twenty four hours, but he knew that he had to get to know her better. "Go out with me." He finally said after a few minutes of silence. B slowly removed her head form under a pillow and looked at him as if her were crazy.

"Go out with you? Go out with you for what?"

"Let me take you out for dinner or something. I know we just met, but I feel like we're both attracted to each other and I'd really like to get to know you better all being flirtatious aside. So what do you say just me and you, dinner, and maybe a couple drinks."

"Um, wow. Wasn't expecting that at all. I'd like that though, but just don't tell Trin and Jon because they'll never shut up about it." Joe gave a slight chuckle and nodded his head in agreement. They exchanged numbers and Joe left her to get her things together.

Later that day Barbara was getting dressed for her date with Joe. He'd sent her a text while she was at work and it had her grinning from ear to ear for the rest of her shift. He told her that they weren't going anywhere fancy and that even if she threw on sweats she'd look damn good in them so it wouldn't even matter. So she was currently curling her hair as she took in her outfit. It was a simple pair of jeans that made her ass look great and a nice shirt that had a little flair to it. She was so grateful for the Florida "Winter's"at the moment. It was a long ways away from the snowstorms and blizzards of the Northeast she was used to.

Before long she heard her doorbell ring and gave herself a once over before she answered the door, but instead of seeing the sexy Samoan she was greeted by her friend, Trinity. If this was fates way of playing a cruel trick on her, that shit was working.

"Well damn you didn't need to get all dressed up for me." After taking a few minutes to look B over it clicked. "You have a date don't you? That's why you wasn't feeling Joe as much as we thought you would. Girl, you know all you had to do was tell me and I would've-"

Trinity quickly stopped talking when she saw Joe walking up the walkway towards the door.

"And just what the hell do we have here." Trinity asked the both of them as she crossed her arms looking at them expectantly. B just sighed and shook her head. Yup, fate was definitely a cruel thing.
