Shawnie POV

The next morning, I woke up with my back to Joe and his hand on my hip. I didn't bother to look and see if he was awake or not. I just slid out of bed, careful not to wake him. I put the shirt I had on the night before and went into the bathroom. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and combed through my hair with my fingers. I felt good. I actually haven't felt this good in a while and I got great sleep.

I started to check my phone, but I decided against it. I haven't even been home. I'm sure there's nothing going on anyway. My dad said the kids are good and I haven't talked to Chris or Aubrey in a few days. I'm sure Chris has been communicating with my dad and I don't even know what to say about Aubrey. That song threw me. It seems like he could be back to his old tricks, but then again, it could just be a song and I'm over reacting. Honestly, I. Don't. Give. A. Damn.

I went to get back in bed. I turned over to face him this time, and he looked as if he was peacefully sleeping. I just lay there looking at him for a couple of minutes.

Joseph Anoa'i. I am going to be 100% honest with myself, and I am going to admit that I am very scared that I think I'm falling deeply in love with him. And it has nothing to do with physical attraction or things that he does for me, it's the person he is. I don't feel I can address this how I normally would because we have an agreement and it is absolutely crazy that I made this agreement and I had this realization the very next morning. But on the other hand, I do feel that he feels the same way and maybe he's holding back as well. That could very well be what's going on but I don't want to go off an assumption. I don't even want to have that conversation with him. I think it's best that I just keep this to myself.

I've been avoiding relationships left and right for a while now, and it seems like this one I couldn't avoid. Not that I was really trying to because Joe and I weren't really having relationship talks or anything, but I wanna say it really did come out of nowhere, but then again it was always there. I don't know, and this is the last thing I need. Aubrey was trying to put out rumors that Joe and I were together in the first place and now this. Like I said, I think it's best I just keep this to myself.

I lightly brush a piece of his hair out of his face. He is a beautiful human being. I remember that was the very first thing I said to him. I just stare at him and study his facial features. I never noticed he had freckles. That's cute

Joe popped his eyes open and looked directly at me. He chuckled for a second, then stretched.

"You're such a creep." He says, then puts his arm under me and pulls me closer to him.

"I was just admiring your face." I say

"My face? You're the one with all the beauty."

"Go back to sleep so I can look at you."

He laughs, "Watching me sleep says a lot."

"Like?"

"Well, negatively, it can mean you have a control issue or an possessive insecurity issue. Some people say that's true, but I don't know. I personally just think it means you have feelings for that person, and that you adore them. I actually think it's adorable." He says

A smile creeps up on my face. "Awww, you don't think I'm a creep." I laugh. "I don't think I've ever watched anyone sleep. You just caught my attention when I was getting back in bed."

"I take it as a compliment." He says

I lay my head on his chest and sigh. "I need to get back to LA."

"Yeah, gotta get to the kiddos." He says, getting comfortable under me.

"I could literally stay here forever. I like it out here."

"It's an option. You can get an apartment in this building. It's pretty safe and security is downstairs."

"You would want me in the building with you?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I? When I'm in California we live together. The only reason we were apart for so long this time was because I was being stupid but yes, I would definitely want you in the building with me if not in the same apartment." He says

"Your condo is very cozy and I would love to stay here with you but it's too small. Add two kids in the mix and we basically would be on top of each other."

"I'm okay with that." He smiles and pulls me on top of him.

"You know what I mean." I laugh

"I'm just teasing...we can get a bigger apar—....." he stops mid sentence. "You living in the building is cool."

I slid off of him. "...making future plans?"

"No. I was just caught up in the moment." He says

"It's okay." I put my hand under the sheet and I started rubbing his dick. "I get caught up in the moment sometimes too..."

He smiles, which makes me smile. He placed his hand over mine while I continued rubbing on him.

"Again before I leave?"

"Yeah..." he says, then kisses me.

I get up and slide his underwear off. Now I'm able to get a pretty good look at what I'm working with. Very, very nice. His size and shape explains a lot. The pain, the pleasure... It all makes sense. The thickness and curve explains too. This might make me a little more possessive then I was with Aubrey. Aubrey's was nice too, and it was hard to say goodbye to it but it was attached to a crazy person, I had to let it go. This is a better replacement. Not that I'm trying to replace dicks but an upgrade is always nice.

I stroked him a few times while watching his face. He looked as if he was enjoying. I licked the length of his shaft, keeping eye contact the whole time. He smiled lustfully but he didn't say anything. I take him into my mouth, slowly bobbing up and down, getting it nice and wet. I felt his eye on me the whole time. I remembered how he liked it the last time and I took my time going nice and slow...but maybe that was because he hadn't had head in a while.

It only seemed to be about ten minutes that had gone by when he sat up and placed both hands on my head. I knew he was enjoying himself because he was moaning and making sounds that suggested just that. He placed his hands on my head and as I continued his hands slowly turned into two fist fills of my hair.

"Fuck! Okay, stop." I look up at him, and he sits up then he pulls me to his face and shoves his tongue down my throat. He finally let go of my hair to pull my panties off. It was a struggle because he didn't want to break the kiss but he got them off, then pulled me on top of him. I straddled his lap, I wrapped my arms around him while sitting down on his dick.

He looked up at me and kissed my chin. "You ain't staying on top."

I laugh and I begin to slowly ride him. He lets me get comfortable and adjust to his size. He didn't take his eyes off of me and his hands didn't leave from around my body, he kept me close to him.

A few moments had passed and he stopped and we made out for a while. Having sex with Joe this time was completely different from the last times. It's hard to describe. We both were into it, like really into it. The first time was really good but it kinda felt a little forced. Plus, we were a little nervous. The second time was interrupted by Aubrey. Yesterday was great, but it was in the shower, but right now. It seems like we're used to each other and we're not nervous, or in our head, or trying to worry about drowning lol it's just us and it's so nice.

After a few minutes, he laid back on the bed and placed his hands at my sides, guiding me at his pace for a while. He seemed to really be enjoying himself. I love the sounds he makes. I love the grunting, the moaning, the facial expressions, I love it all.

He looks at me and begins rubbing both my breasts, which feels extra good for some reason. Maybe it was good big hands, or maybe it was just the fact that it was him.

I lean down to kiss him, he wraps his arms around me and holds me there.

"I like this." I say and he smiles at me.

"You're just saying that because I'm inside of you right now."

"I like this when you're not."

"You like me." He says

"You know that. Maybe more than that."

"This dick is good, huh? Got you talking crazy." He laughs

"It's great!" I sit up and grind on him.

He smirks but doesn't say anything, he just kisses me again, and flips us over so he's on top. He pushes my leg back with one arm and puts the other under me. He buries his head in my neck, and he starts deep stroking. That was it. I lose it.

"Shhhh.... You're gonna wake my neighbors." He kisses me, but I pull away.

"...I'm gonna cum." I say between moans.

"I don't want you to cum yet. I want you to wait for me." He says in my ear, which sends chills through my body.

How am I supposed to wait? This motherfucker has me about to cum right now.

"Stop for a second." I say.

We both pause for a few moments. He looks at me and attacks my lips. We sloppily makeout for a few minutes. I was so caught up in this moment, I had completely forgotten about the outside world, and everyone in it. I was in total bliss. I slightly pulled away and looked into his eyes.

"What are you doing to me?" I say aloud. Not necessarily asking him, but shit if he knows the answer he needs to speak up.

He doesn't say anything, but his eyes look unsure. He just kissed me. He puts his arms around me, holding me tightly as he starts going again. After a few minutes I started to feel my release coming again.

"I'm close." I mumble against his neck.

"Me too." He puts my legs around him as he continues to thrust in and out of me. "I wanna feel you cumming on my cock." He says in my ear, then taken it into his mouth. That alone sends me over the edge and I'm instantly jilted into an intense orgasm.

A couple seconds later, his breathing got heavier, then I felt his warm liquid filling me up. I was a little confused though. I know we were in the moment, and I know it was good, I didn't think he would do this. I could feel his dick throbbing inside of me. Why didn't he pull out, I don't know, but it didn't seem to phase him and he began to kiss and suck on my neck as I tried to calm my breathing. What just happened?

"...did you just..."

He rested his head on my chest, not moving an inch or removing himself from inside of me.

"Yeah." He says, breathing hard.

"........oh..."

I just put my arms around him and closed my eyes while we laid in each other juices.....but that only lasted for a couple of minutes.

What is going on with him? I mean I'm not really complaining about it but I feel like I don't know this person. He is a completely different man this weekend and I am into it but I'm also a little weirded out. I need some answers, but I don't wanna make him feel uncomfortable.

"....... Joe?"

"Hmm?" he answers, but he doesn't move.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, why do you ask?"

"Um...no reason. Just asking." I say. I think it might be a good idea to just leave it alone. Maybe I'm just overthinking, I tend to do that sometimes.

He finally sits up after a couple of minutes. "Aight. We gotta—."

I cut him off. "No, wait. Don't leave me yet."

He smiles, "You wanna go again?"

"If you want to we can but I don't want this to end yet."

"I know what you mean, but let me at least take my dick out of you." We both laugh.

"I don't know, I kinda like that you're still inside of me."

"See, you wanna do it again." He says with a smile.

"Maybe..."

He takes that as an invitation, and he brings his face to mine, and we start kissing again. Of course it leads to us having sex again. Really good sex. Again.

After we were done, I finally sat up and grabbed my phone off of the nightstand. It is 10:42. I'm happy I have my own plane and I can leave when I get ready because if I had to be there by a certain time, I would purposely miss my flight to stay here with Joe.

I start checking my notifications to see what all I missed and clearly I missed some shit because damn, I have a lot of notifications.

I scuff, "Amanda called." I say to Joe.

"What does she want?" He asks

"I have no idea. It can't be anything because I haven't done anything. I'm not even home." Joe rubs my back and I remember the make out session we had in his car. "Shit!"

"What?"

"What if it's about us in the car yesterday?"

"Tints, they can't see in." He says

"Okay." I sigh a sigh of relief.

"... unless they were standing in front of the car then they can clearly see in." He says

"I'm gonna call her back."

I touch her contact and she answers on the first ring.

"Shawnie, Drake is livid!!" She answers

"Why? I haven't talked to him in damn near a week."

"Someone is shopping pictures of you and Joe kissing in Vegas!?" She says. I'm trying to read her tone and it sounds like it's kind of question.

"What? Who?"

"I don't know. I heard it from my associate who works at TMZ. What are you doing?"

"Did they buy them? Block them from reporting it." I say. This is exactly why I decided to take her on because I know she is good at her job.

"They purchased them." She says.

Just then my phone dings. I look at the screen and I see it's Jason texting.

"Hold on, Jason is texting right now." I say, then look at the text.

JL: I have pictures of you and your hot bodyguard with your tongues down each other's throats AND Drake is trying to push you were cheating on him again.

This motherfucker JUST released a damn song about me last night and this morning he's trying to push this narrative again. Seriously, he's sick.

"He says Aubrey is trying to say I was cheating again."

"Yes. I can kill the Drake story, I know his new publicist, but this is just a heads up. You have like 10 minutes, they're going live with it." She says

"Amanda, there's nothing I can do?" I ask

"I can try to talk to my associate but it's a little too late."

"I hate this." I feel Joe rubbing my back. "You can stop every negative Drake story that comes out but you can't stop this one thing? Aubrey is going to have a field day with this. The pictures aren't even out and he's already trying to push the narrative that I was cheating on him again."

"In his defense, he answers his phone when I call. Yes, this could've been stopped but I've been trying to call you for hours." She says

"I'm sorry Amanda I was...busy. I'm not one of those people who stays on their phone 24/7."

"Well, you need to turn into one of those people for reasons like this. I can't stop the story like I said, I will try my best but I think you need to prepare for this."

"I—." I'm so frustrated I can't even begin to form words right now. Yes I was stupid and I should not have done this. I should've stopped it but I did it and this is God punishing me.

"We've done good with keeping you out of the media and you being low profile, but this is very big. I told you one slip up could be a huge media scandal, and this is potentially a scandal."

"Have you seen the pictures? Like are they that bad?" I ask

"I personally don't necessarily think they are super bad, but yes, they are bad. When people see the photos they are going to know there could possibly be more going on than what we can actually see." She says

"Ohhh my god...." I'm freaking out. "Send me the photos." I say. "......Um, let me think.......I've seen shit come out with Aubrey before and you killed the story even after it was released. Can we do that?"

"Yeah, I can call around to all of the media outlets and try to get this demolished but they're going to want you to pay. Ain't nothing down for free in Hollywood." She says

"I will pay."

"Okay, I'm on it. I will start with TMZ. They probably only have about five minutes now so let me try to get them on the phone as quickly as possible."

I don't even say anything, I just end the call.

"I hate this...." I say

"The pictures of us?" Joe asks

I turn around and look at him. "Yes. I feel like this is going to be super bad. Aubrey is going to lose his shit. Like he's seen pictures of us before but they were really nothing. This is actually something. I am legit scared."

"You know you don't have anything to worry about, nothing is gonna happen to you." He says

"Yeah, but I'm about to go home by myself. You're not gonna be there. I have these two new bodyguards that I don't know what they're capable of. One doesn't even seem to give a fuck, and the other one, Ben, I feel like I can trust him, but I don't know. I don't know these people. I need you to be with me right now. Please come back with me."

He exhales in defeat. "Aight. Your safety is my priority."

"Thank you." I say, laying back down in bed.

He pulls me close to him. "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you. I promise."

What did you think about this chapter??
