So first, I gotta give a HUGE shout out to Ctinaisfashion for helping me come up with so many ideas for this story! To get ideas from someone I've followed since 2011 (told you I loved your stuff!) means a lot. So many of the ideas she's given me made me even more excited for this story! So once again, thank you girl! Now I know I said I was gonna update before Christmas, but life didn't work out that way I was way too tired to think let alone write. Hope everyone had a nice holiday. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"Um, well you see Joe told me he was looking into some places to stay, so I told him how I knew someone in real estate. I'm basically like the middle man for them right now. I told my friend that I'd show him the house to see how he liked it because he had a date." B shot Joe a look when he tried to cover his laugh with a cough.

"So I'm gonna pretend that you didn't just give me that lame ass excuse and I'm gonna ask y'all again. What the hell is going on here?" B went to open her mouth to try and justify her story but Joe beat her to the punch.

"Listen, Trin. I asked her out it's nothing major we're just going out to chill, grab dinner and maybe a few drinks. We didn't say nothing to you or Jon because from the way y'all were pressing us you would act like we were running off to get married." Trin sucked her teeth, but couldn't completely hide her smile.

"I wouldn't have pushed marriage...yet! I just want you both to be happy, and if you two being together benefits me too then who and I to stop it. My cousin and my bestie together do you know how great that'd be! But anyway I'm gonna go so y'all can have your date. Joe she better be home by midnight and you better keep your hands to yourself and B you better text me as soon as you get home so I know that you made it safely." Joe held up his hands in surrender and B just raised an eyebrow.

"And what if I didn't want him to keep his hands to himself, Trin? Then what? You already know your nosy ass will be blowing up my phone for details anyway, but I'll see you later." Trin hugged her as she rolled her eyes for being called nosy and made her way back to her car.

"You know within the hour Jon, Josh, his wife, and hell probably my mom will know about this date right? That doesn't bother you does it, me being from a huge family and all I mean?" B shook her head as she picked up her purse.

"Nah, as long as your family is nothing at all like mine I'm cool. So where are we going anyway you never told me? You just said it was going to be casual." B asked as she locked her door and they began to make their way to Joe's car. He just smirked as he held her door open for her before going to the drivers side.

"You'll see baby girl you'll see." They made small talk on the way to the location, but Joe still refused to tell her where they were going.

"Are you kidding me right now, Joe. I haven't been to a Boomer's in years!" B's face lit up brighter than the lights of all the Christmas decorations flashing.

"Yeah, I figured that it would be a great way to get us to loosen up and get to know each other better. And I personally wanna kick you ass in a few of these games." He told her as they got out of the car.

"Boy, please you can't beat me on my worse day! Do you not know I'm absolutely unbeatable when it comes to almost any arcade games, and I know for a fact I can beat you at Go Karts and Mini Golf."

"Oh really? How about we put a little wager behind your skills then?" Roman smirked as she didn't seem to back down from the idea.

"What you got in mind, Joe?" B said as she put her hands on her hips.

"How about best two outta three wins? And if I win you have to watch at least two football games with me and feed me snacks. Deal?" Joe said as he extended his hand to her to seal the deal.

"Deal. And when I win you have to cook me dinner in my cute, pink frilly apron. Is it a deal for you too, Joe? Or will you be backing out?" Joe smirked at her offered hand.

"You're on baby girl. So pick your poison, which one do you wanna do first? We have arcade games, mini golf, go karts, and batting cages."

"I feel like we can start out on a somewhat even playing field with the batting cages. Ready to get that ass whooped Joe?" He did nothing more than chuckle at her confidence.

"Lead the way baby girl." He gestured in front of him, but not before sneaking more than a few looks at her denim cover ass.

"Don't be looking at my ass Joseph. I hear you drooling from up here."

"My bad."

"So I say first to hit ten balls wins this round. Is that okay with you big man?" He raised an eyebrow at the nickname.

"So I'm big man now huh? Maybe one day you'll actually see how big of a man I really am." He smirked down at her.

"I mean, I figure since you keep calling me baby girl I'd give you a nickname of your own. But you also seem to forget that the first night we met each other, you we're in my bed. So I'm fully aware of how big a man you really are. I also know you probably won't be able to handle me, but that is another story for another day. Right now though be prepared to get that ass beat!" She winked as she went to grab a bat and helmet.

After being decimated at the batting cages B was slightly pouting. She was quickly ready to move on to the next challenge, but Joe was having far too much fun gloating.

"Aw c'mon baby girl you put up a good battle. But maybe I should've told you I used to play baseball with the twins when we were younger. We still two more rounds to go." He said as he grabbed her around the waist.

"Whatever, Joe. You just kept it on the low because you wanna have me watch your dumbass football games. I didn't understand it when my dad watched it and I won't understand it watching with you. Let's do Go Karts next. Ain't no way in hell you can beat me there!" She exclaimed as she pulled him towards the the Karts.

"Aww damn. Now my hair gonna be all messed up the rest of the night." It was Joe's turn to pout.

"Aww poor baby. Shouldn't I be more concerned about my hair though? Since you know, I'm the woman in this equation? But I can some what understand because your hair is really pretty." B said in a mocking baby voice.

"Aight, none of that c'mon so I can tap... I mean beat that ass again." He said as they were given proper gear. After three laps the race was over and B was once again back to her confident self after beating Joe by a landslide.

"Told you I'd spank that ass in this one! Can't touch me on the track, Joe." She told him as he did a victory dance.

"Yeah, yeah you got lucky on that one. We're tied now one more to go and you'll be feeding me snacks while we watch football. Let's see if you can hang for this last game." He told her as they walked into the arcade section.

"Pick your poison baby girl. I'll play you in any game." B did a lap around the arcade until she saw a game she knew she'd win. But being polite she gave Joe and option to choose.

"Ok Joe, Skeeball or Air hockey? You pick I'm great at either game." Joe thought about it for a minute.

"Air hockey." The game was back and forth for a while until they were tied up, but it was when Joe got the last point that the buzzer sounded letting them know the game was over. Joe had won. Now B would have to not only sit through two football games, but actually feed Joe too. As hard as she tried not to be a sore loser it wasn't working.

"Shit c'mon! Joe, you're not really gonna make me do this are you?" She asked as she batted her pretty brown eyes at him.

"You bet your ass I am. And I'm gonna enjoy it too." The lecherous smirk he had on his face said more than his words ever could.
