Joe x Caroline plots: Joe finds comfort with Caroline after breaking up with Lindsey and finding out Isabella already knew she was in the FBI.
“I know you hate me but... but I didn’t know where else to go,” Joe started crying.
“It’s okay, shh Joseph, it’s okay...” She held him tight. “And of course I don’t hate you.” She stroked his hair as she whispered: “I never did.”
More family || Jindsey
Who: Joe & Lindsey
Where: Joe’s house
What: Lindsey and Joe wake up together and Joe finds Mister Monkey in their bed. He makes funny voices with it and they talk a bit about Daniel. Joe then confesses he wants to have more children. He wants to know how she feels about adoption, but the idea really scares Lindsey and she thought he had accepted her not wanting any children, but he can’t get the idea out of his mind.
[Joe was in bed with Lindsey in the morning. The sun came through a small spot behind the curtains. Joe rolled over to her and groaned when his stomach hit something] Ohh... what's this? [He opened his eyes as he laughed, pulling out a stuffed animal, holding it between them as Lindsey woke up] Hello Lindsey, good morning [he said with a funny high voice as he made movements for the stuffed monkey]
[Lindsey was already awake by the time she heard Joe move beside her. She opened her eyes, stretching out her arms and giving him a sweet smile. That smile turned into laughter when she watched him hold up the monkey] Morning Daniel’s monkey. May I say morning to my boyfriend please? [she raised her brow as she looked around the monkey to Joe]
Joe: It is Mister Monkey! [Joe said with a big smile from behind the monkey, as he brought it down to look at her. He changed back to his normal voice] Hmmm I don't know, will I get a kiss?
Lindsey: What is Mister Monkey doing in our bed? [she grinned up at him once he moved the monkey from his face] Mm, that’s better. And yes, I sure hope so. I want a few before we get up.
Joe: I think a little boy accidentally left him here [Joe laughed as he put it on the nightstand next to him] I'm surprised I didn't get a call at night to bring it over to Caroline's place. He must've slept without it. God, he's growing up so fast. [He stroked Lindseys cheek before placing a kiss on her nose] You didn't specify where.
Lindsey: Maybe we can bring him by later today. Then you also can get to see him at the same time. [she laid back against her pillow as she looked up at him, a smile permanently fixated on her face. She let out a little laugh when he kissed her nose.] I didn’t realize I had to. I’d like a regular kiss and then from there, wherever you want. [she gave him a wink]
Joe: Is that okay for you too? This is okay right, the way things work? I know it's not the ideal picture, but I think I like the way that he has a big family. I've always wanted that, even if I intended for it to be a different way. [He slowly kissed her on the lips and pulled her closer in bed] Mmm well this is my favorite spot [he smiled as he kissed her neck]
Lindsey: Of course it’s okay. No, it’s not ideal but when is anything ideal and perfect? I love spending time with him, you know that. [she returned his kiss, gently cupping his cheek until he pulled her over to his side. She let out a giggle when he kissed her neck, a shiver escaping her body] That’s my favourite too. [she pulled away for just a minute to look at him, giving him a sincere look] I love you.
Joe: Even us meeting was pretty far from ideal [he grinned]. You are amazing, he loves you so much. I know you said you never wanted to have a child yourself... but... [he looked at her to see her reaction, not finishing his sentence yet] I love you too honey.
Lindsey: That goes way behind ideal on how we met. Still can't believe you hired me for how I looked. [she laughed] I'm hardly that. But thank you, baby. [she got a little nervous when he started to talk about the kids topic again] It's not that I wouldn't want one.. but I would never be a good enough mother to feel okay to bring another life into this world.
Joe: Not how you looked, you just left a really good impression on me when you were annoying me at the park [he said with a wink] You are /more/ than amazing. [He got up a little, resting on his elbow to look at her] You know I disagree with that, you are so good with Daniel. But... if you wouldn't want one of your own... how would you feel about a child that is already around? Not Daniel but another one... adopting a child to give it a better life. [His face was red from his nerves] I'm sorry, am I going too fast? I'm not so up to date on the time between steps of relationships. I just know I keep thinking about this.
Lindsey: Oh, sure, because it had absolutely nothing to do with how I looked. You’re such a liar. [she laughed, shaking her head] I think you are a little biased though. [she leaned back against the pillows, staring up at him as he spoke] Daniel makes it easy, besides between you and Caroline, I’m just the fun one who buys him all the toys. That is hardly worthy of being a good mom. [her eyes widened a little at the suggestion of adopting and it caught her off guard so she didn’t know what to say at first] Um, that’s a big step. How, uh, how long have you been thinking about this?
Joe: I'm not a liar! [He laughed as he totally was] And also not biased. Everyone can see you feel so much responsibility for him. It's not just toys. I could go for a meeting and leave him alone with you and not feel 1% worried. [He swallowed, feeling the vibe between them get a bit uncomfortable] Is it too big? I'm uh... well I've always wanted a big family. But now that we're doing so well and I've been sober for a year, I've been thinking about it for the past two weeks. It's an idea I let go in the past when I became a divorced dad, but now I think: why? Why not follow that dream again to have a brother or sister for Daniel?
Lindsey: You are both, baby. [she laughed with him] Joe.. that’s called babysitting. He doesn’t act out because he knows we are buddies because I give him the toys. [she looked down as one of her hands reached to grab his, holding it tightly] A little bit? I thought we had talked about this before. Joe, you’ve been doing so good and I’m so proud of you for overcoming everything you have. But kids..? Do you really think I could be a decent enough parent?
Joe: I cannot win this, can I? Oh it's definitely not that he doesn't act out because you give him toys. I can give him every toy he wants but when he's throwing a tantrum in the supermarket he is definitely /not/ stopping because he reminds I buy him toys. He doesn't act out because you are good at what you do. He looks up to you. [He gave her hand a squeeze] I don't want to scare you away - but I do want to be honest. I know we've talked about it but that was mostly when we were deciding how you felt about me having a child already, one that was in the picture no matter what. But now I'm wondering... what could be in the picture for us? ... you a decent parent? Is that even a question? We should ask that question about me and nowadays, I think I'm all right as a parent. But you - you'd be a perfect mother.
Lindsey: No you definitely won't win because we both know the truth. You know it's different, Joe. He sees me as a friend, not a parent. That's why it's so easy with him. I love him and I'm so happy both you and Caroline let me be a part of his life. But I get the easy parts with him, you two are the real parents. [she bit her bottom lip nervously as she heard what he had to say] I want you to be honest with me but I have to be honest and say I don't know if that's something I'm ever going to be ready for. And if that becomes a dealbreaker for us.. [she paused, feeling herself get emotion just at the thought of losing him after everything they have been through. She looked up at him, cupping his cheek in her palm.] I love you for thinking about this and for thinking of our future together. You're so sweet. But I'd never want to disappoint you in being a bad parent when you are the best one to Daniel.
Joe: He calls you his mommy. I wish you could see yourself the way I do, you're so much better than you think. I'm happy she's letting us do this too, honestly. But how would it be to have a little one who's with us 24/7? I'm so happy I get to be a part of Daniel's life, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I miss him so much. I want to be a parent every day, not whenever my ex decides it's okay. [He bit his lip when she said her truth, and if that might eventually drift them apart] Okay. That's... I think I have to think about it too. I could fight Daniel's custody again but honestly, it doesn't feel like that's what I'm looking for. I'm dreaming of a family with you. You'd never disappoint me. [He took a deep breath] Even if your answer turns out to be no.
Lindsey: Just because he calls me that, doesn't mean that's how he sees me. He knows Caroline is his real mom. [she sighed] You know my past.. the things that have happened, it's why I know I wouldn't be a good mother. You're doing so much better though and Caroline sees that. I know it's not every day but you're getting more time with him, right? [her heart dropped a bit when he didn't deny her fears of losing him over this] I just don't understand why you want a family with me after we've talked about this and I've told you that I'm not ready nor will I ever be ready. It's why I freaked out when you weren't wearing a condom that one time. [she shook her head] I feel like I'm disappointing you now.
Joe: I know she's his real mom, even when not biologically. I'm just trying to say I think you're doing amazing. [He kissed her hand] I'm so sorry for everything that has happened to you. I only know despite it all you turned out to be a person with so much love. [He stroked a hand through her hair] I'm doing better because of you. Yes, I've gotten back some custody days I lost when I was really... the opposite of sober. [His hand moved to her lips, following the trace of it] I thought that meant you never wanted a baby of your own. But that maybe giving someone a better life... [he sighed as if he was letting the idea go, then brought up a smile for her] I guess we're just giving a puppy a really good life then. And they don't draw on my walls like Daniel did when he was little. Or at least I hope so. [He gave her a kiss] It's okay. ... And sorry again about the condom. I keep one in my wallet now - which was fun last time I was at Starbucks and had forgotten about it.
Lindsey: Thank you, babe. [she smiled, giving up on the fight to allow him the win] I'm trying.. you have really helped though. Both you and Daniel actually. You've opened my heart up to more love than I could ever imagine for myself. I am forever grateful for you every day. [she leaned up to press a quick kiss on his lips, before he could tease her about being sappy] You're showing Caroline that you are better and continuing to get better every day. Maybe we can talk about getting some more time with Daniel, okay? I'm sure she would love to have more time alone. [she let out a shaky breath, afraid to know how Joe was truly feeling about her not wanting a baby. Instead of hashing out more about having a child, she went with the other option he brought up.] Now there is an idea. I've always wanted to get a little puppy for Daniel. Why don't we try that? That's a lot of work to get a puppy housetrained and will probably test our relationship. [she teased him with a smile as she kissed him back] Did you have fun at Starbucks without me?!
Joe: I'm glad then with everything you have done for us, we got to help you a little too. You have such a big heart. Despite on how we started you've always been the sweetest to Daniel, I know you'll always be. Ohh is someone getting emotional? [He smiled] Well I'm pretty sure she is dating someone as Daniel told me. If you want a secret spilled, better tell Daniel, then everyone will know. [He still seemed to be a bit distracted with his thoughts, bult gave her a smile] Maybe we can take Daniel to pick out the puppy next weekend? Prepare for either it peeing everywhere, or walking an hour outside while it doesn't pee at all. [He laughed] I was thirsty! I ordered a mocha latte and when I wanted to pay the condom fell out. Everyone was looking at me when the barista told me they only accepted cash.
Lindsey: I'm not. [she lied, burying her head in his chest to pretend to hide her face from him] Oh, she's dating someone? Well even more reason to encourage more time with Daniel, so she can have alone time with her new guy. [she laughed and nodded] That's true. He likes to make sure everyone knows what he knows. [she reached up and stroked his cheek as she gave him a smile] I would love to do that. Though I'm afraid he's going to pick more than one. Maybe we should go first and surprise him. [she rolled her eyes] Don't worry, we'll dog proof your house before we get the puppy. I cannot believe you let a condom fall out as you were paying for your drink! I guess it's karma?
Joe: Right, because you never get emotional /at all/, your only get an at me, that's all [he teased at her] Yes, his name is Aaron and everything I got out of Daniel was his favorite color and favorite animal. Ew, don't mention them having 'alone time', I don't need to think of that. [He said and maybe he wasn't exactly jealous, but more offended Caroline hadn't told him about it] He does, Daniel just loves to share EVERYTHING. [Joe laughed] I'm not even sure you will just pick only one. Should we plastic the whole floor to avoid pee stains? [He covered his face in shame] Obviously on the exact day I decided not to wear my sunglasses while going out. What, karma? For my past life where I used to flirt with the baristas? Or for forgetting the condom with you that time so now it follows me around everywhere? Or for skipping the line again? Yes, it's probably the last one.
Tattoo for you || Jindsey
Who: Joe & Lindsey
Where: The office and Joe’s house / shower
What: Joe comes back from a business trip and seems to avoid any intimacy with Lindsey. He tried to brush it off from his jetlag, but when he keeps turning her down later at home Lindsey gets mad. Eventually he invites her - to her confusion - in the shower to join him. There she spots an unfamiliar tattoo below his stomach on his hip. He has tattooed the word “Good”. He explains it was a reminder to himself he got when he felt he was going to relapse in drinking. He needed to remember he was a good person and a good father, because she always tells him that and Lindsey is he only person he ever believed it from.
Notes: NSFW
Lindsey: [It didn’t take long for the news to spread through the whole office that Joe was back. She knew that his flight was coming in today but she figured he would go home and come in tomorrow. She quickly checked herself in her phone camera, touching up her lipstick. She couldn’t wait to see him, it had been a long 3 weeks, but she had to keep it professional. She stood up and gathered some papers that needed his signature and when she looked up, that’s when she saw him. Everything she had planned to say disappeared at the sight of him. He definitely had that airport look to him.. but the unshaven beard, he knew the things it did to her. She gave him her usual casual smile and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear] Hi… [was all she could get out]
Joe: [Joe nodded at several employees, but was too distracted to really see them. The first one he spotted was the girl with sparkly eyes and a smile on her lips - not her usual red lipstick she saved for him, because she hadn't expected him] ... Austen [He said as he approached her and let out a sigh as if he could finally breathe again now that he saw her. He gave her back a soft smile] No coffee for your boss?
Lindsey: [Lindsey had to grab the edge of her desk when he gave her that charming smile of his.] Joe.. [she couldn’t even pretend they were at work right now. She had missed him that much. She let out a small laugh.] I didn’t know you were coming in today. I can go out and get you your special one.
Joe: [His smile grew bigger when she said his name] I couldn't go home without seeing you first. [He took off the sunglasses to rub his tired eyes] Please. Extra strong today. [He touched her hand on purpose as he looked at the papers on her desk] Anything for me?
Lindsey: [she blushed when he talked about not being able to go home without seeing her] That’s awfully sweet of you. I’m really happy to see you. [she frowned at how tired he looked] Is everything okay? [she instantly reacted without thinking] I’d be happy to run out. [she paused, her breath hitched in her throat at his touch] Maybe you want to go into your office and I can show you everything I need you to sign while I’m gone.
Joe: Deep down I'm a true romantic [he teased her] I'm happy to see you too. It was... long [he admitted. When she looked at him worried, he looked at her desk as he said] Sure, just didn't get a lot of sleep. [His thumb stroked her hand as he moved over some papers] That sounds good [he said before walking into the office, leaving his door open for her]
Lindsey: I knew it. [she smirked at his teasing] I know.. way too long. Next time, I am coming to visit at least. [the frown didn’t disappear when he gave his excuse, not sure if she believed him or not] Well let’s make this quick so you can get home and sleep properly. [she looked around to make sure no one was looking when he stroked her hand. She quickly grabbed the papers again and went into his office behind him, closing the door immediately. She followed behind him and placed the papers on his desk. When the moment was right, she leaned in and kissed him without warning.]
Joe: It's all below my great appearance [he smirked] It was good you were here so at least I didn't have to worry about everything going well at the office. I can sleep later [he protested as she would've expected] I think we have a 1pm meeting and I've got some emails to write. [He was so tired that he didn't even look if anyone saw them; or maybe he was reckless. As he sank down in his chair and layed down his sunglasses on his desk, Lindsey kissed him unexpectedly. He answered her kiss before leaning back a little] Hey [he greeted her again as he stroked her cheek]
Lindsey: Everything would have been fine here if I came to visit you on the weekends. [she sighed, knowing full well that he should be sleeping now] Sleep when you’re dead, right? That meeting isn’t until tomorrow since I didn’t know if you’d get here in time. Emails can wait. [she protested back until they went into his office together. She couldn’t help but kiss him as soon as the door closed.] Hi.. I missed you.. a lot. [she climbed into his lap, her legs on either side of his. All of her stress and tension melted away when she looked down and saw the way he was looking at her.]
Joe: But not my house without it's best security [he winked at her] and I think you would've been bored to death. Guys talking business all day, lots of booze [he joked the last part, though it had been true; and every day was more a struggle to him to say 'no thank you' that he 'just wanted a water', while everything he desired and also hated was on the table right in front of him] Oh yes, absolutely, though I think I might still have business to finish then [he teased about him not sleeping] Then reschedule it to today, I'm here now. [He smiled at her and placed his hands on her lower back] I missed you too baby. More than you know [he mumbled the last part before pressing his lips on hers again]
Lindsey: Your house is huge and scary when you aren’t there. [she shrugged] I listen to you talk about business all day. [she teased and then heard the last part. She paused for a minute to look him over to make sure he really was joking] I’m proud of you. I know it’s hard. [she rolled her eyes and laughed] You are ridiculous sometimes. [she shook her head] I’m not rescheduling something I’ve already rescheduled. Take a break, Joe. [she smiled against his lips before kissing him back] I think I have some idea of just how much. FaceTime just doesn’t do you justice. [her hands slowly moved up and down his chest as she deepened their kiss further]
Joe: Didn't the ghosts keep you company? [He grinned, ready to get a bit on her nerves as still enjoyed it every now and then] But this time you wouldn't get to please me while I make photocalls [he flirted as she sometimes tried to distract him like that, which definitely wouldn't have been possible with all his in person meetings] I turned down some really good old whiskey [he growned] Are you rolling your eyes at me again, /Jane/ Austen? Why not, everyone is clearly not that busy right now. Should I sign those papers? [He went back into work mode] Mmm it's just not the same. You're even more beautiful in person [he said before kissing her and slipping in his tongue]
Lindsey: What.. ghosts? You didn’t tell me your place is haunted! Joe!! I’m never letting you leave again. [she hit him lightly, frowning that he would withhold that kind of information from her] Who says I can’t? [she grinned] It can’t be that good when you have a really good woman sitting on your lap right now. [she lightly stroked his cheek with a distraction of her] Maybe.. but what are you going to do about it? [she teased back] You are currently looking very busy right now. Hmmm, what papers? [she tried to get him out of work mode with a soft moan when they kissed] I could say the exact same thing about you. [her hands slowly ran down his chest, undoing the buttons as she moved down] Tell me what you want..
Joe: I am totally kidding. If there were ghosts I would've ran out the day I heard that. Monsters under Daniel's bed I can handle, but ghosts... [he chuckled as she hit him] Well, if they're in person in a room, I'd rather keep our pleasures private [he winked] Mmm I wish she was there that night. Hmm I don't know, Jane Austen, I might just try to guess your real name till you get so tired of me that you can't even eyeroll anymore. Something I had to sign? [He said as he placed a kiss down her neck knowing she was already far distracted again. He looked at her with desire as she started unbuttoning his shirt, then his lips grew into a mischievous grin] I want a really... hot... big... coffee
Lindsey: You better be kidding. But you’re still not allowed to go anywhere without me again, okay? [she smiled] That didn’t stop us in the board meeting a few months ago. But I don’t mind keeping it private.. I still want to see how you would react in a meeting while I’m below your desk. [she grinned as her hand lightly grazed the top of his pants] You still won’t let up on that. [she pulled back slightly] You’re never going to guess it so I guess I’ll keep eye rolling at every suggestion you make. But if you really want to know, I could just tell you? It’s a part of my life that I don’t want to think about anyways. Sign? Oh.. hm, later. I’m busy now with what I really want. [she sighed in pleasure, finally feeling right again with Joe being back. She was about to lean forward to press kisses to his chest when she heard the answer to her question] …what? Your girlfriend, who you haven’t seen in weeks, is currently ready to rip her clothes off and let you have your way with her, and you want.. coffee?
Joe: Next time we'll make a trip together. I promise I didn't have any fun without you though. Fuck [he laughed at that memory] it is that you weren't expecting me, otherwise I would've wondered again if you were wearing any underwear. I'm pretty sure I can't handle that [he admitted with a grin to her idea. As her hand grazed over his pants, without realizing he placed his hand on hers to stop her from going down, the place where he had gotten his tattoo a week ago still feeling sensitive, especially now that he was thinking about it. He didn't know how to explain it to her - especially taking such a big decision without her. Maybe she'd even hate tattoos] Is it Jolene? Are you a Dolly Parton song? [He teased] I'm just curious. And we'll never marry so I never get to hear it in any other way. Don't you want my autograph? [He hummed to her hair. When she leaned back at him, she looked more offended than he had expected. He had hoped a coffee could stall their intimate moment till later, at home] I'm just really thirsty [he explained, but realized she could take that the sexy way again, so he added a bit ashamed] ... and I'm just really tired, sorry. But I /am/ very, very happy I finally get to be back home with my girlfriend [he said, placing a short kiss on her lips]
Lindsey: Will you take me somewhere tropical? With those private huts and cute coconut drinks? I didn't enjoy you being gone for that long. A weekend trip is okay, but not 3 weeks. [she let out a small giggle at the memory] Well, if I had known you were coming in today, maybe I would have chosen my undergarments more carefully. I think you could handle it.. with some practice. [she frowned immediately when she felt his hand grab hers to stop it from going any further. She looked at him confused because she didn't understand why he would stop her like that. Instead, she tried to move her hand back up to lightly move across his bare chest, telling herself that maybe she was just going too fast and he wanted to slow it down] You are literally the most ridiculous person I've ever met. I'm not named after a song, or maybe I am. But not a well known one. Lindsey is my given name so you wouldn't have heard the other one anyways. It's not that big of a deal to know it, right? Or do you really have to know? Is it a life or death situation to know? I just want you, right now.. [she was completely distracted until she tried at his pants again and was denied access] I can help with thirsty-- [she shook her head out of disbelief] You're joking, right? It's been 3 really long weeks.. come on.. [she tried to deepen the kiss again]
Joe: I didn't know you wanted to live a Hallmark movie [he winked] but we can go to Hawaii. I know, this person just really needed some good talking through. If everything goes well he'll come here to check out the company and it's employees. [He laughed at her] oh, what do you wear when I'm not there? Practice huh? [Where he normally would've thought of something flirty, he seemed distracted now, but calmed a little when she got further up instead of down] So you /are/ named after a song? [He smiled] It's not life or death, only me filling it in in my head. We'll just stick at Austen then. [He shook his head while he felt himself getting red] I'm just so tired... I didn't get a chance to shower or shave. I'm pretty sure my dick is in sleep mode too. ... Later, okay? [He tried to give her his sweetest look] I'll make it worth the wait.
Lindsey: Is that what we are doing? Living in a Hallmark movie? Hawaii sounds nice, or Fiji. [she nodded and smiled] That's good. Am I supposed to go on a "vacation" when he comes over here to check things out? I thought you said he was worried about your assistant being your girlfriend. [she shrugged] That's for me to know and you to never find out. [she teased him with another peck at his lips] I might be named after more than just a song. I can just tell you though. So long as you keep calling me by my given name. [she looked at him a little hurt that he was rejecting this time together] You know I already love this. [her fingers lightly grazed over his well grown facial shadow] I just really missed you and I thought you would miss me too. Is there something else going on? [she knew this was out of character for him but her mind raced with the ideas of what could be going on and it only caused her to be more upset]
Joe: I think our life is not very PG13 for Hallmark. Fiji is beautiful, I can take you there. You make me sound like an ass if you phrase it like that [he sighed] he just thinks it could cause conflict of interest. But I do want to show how good you are at your work, what I value and want as a standard. So no "vacations", if he's not cool with me working with someone who stands close to me, then maybe it's not for us. Vanderbilt Industries has to be a family company after all. And you're family. [He shook his head with a smile] No, it's okay, I'll stick at Jolene. I don't want to force you to share something you've left behind you - or could accidentally get you in danger. I don't know if I can stop myself from my Jane Austen nickname [he winked] that's what I called you when we met. [He closed his eyes at the soft touch of her fingers on his cheek] Of course I missed you baby. [He hesitated when she looked at him and put a string of hair behind her ear] It's just the jetlag [he lied]. Maybe I'm gonna go home and catch some sleep after all. And I did't get to see Daniel yet either. I'll see you tonight, okay?
Lindsey: We are way above Hallmark anyways. That would be amazing. It's the one place I've never been but always wanted to go. [she frowned and shrugged her shoulders] How else can I phrase it? It's the truth, right? This is what I was worried about when we went public, Joe. [she sighed and looked down, away from his gaze until he said the words "for us" which made her look back up at him] For us? Family.. [her eyes started to get a little watery] Joe.. are you sure? This is your whole life right here. I know you want this expansion and that it'll be good for business. I don't want to stand in the way of that for you. [she shook her head] You're not forcing me to do anything I'm not comfortable with. Besides, no more secrets, right? [she laughed] I know, you called me that name many times in the park and on our first phone call. But I also like it when just call me Lindsey. [her fingertips gently brushed over his lips before she pressed a quick kiss to them when he claimed it was jet lag. Her frown didn't let up at her disappointment of not getting what she was hoping] Okay, baby.. [she started to redo up the buttons of his shirt before sliding off his lap and fixing her skirt] That's another someone that I have missed a lot. Tell him I say hi when you see him for me, please?
Joe: Maybe I should buy Hallmark and let them make a romantic movie about us, "fuck your boss" is totally a plot for them right? The one place? I told you not to worry about that, my reputation is something for me to handle. And no matter how they put it, for me my reputation now is that I'm dating someone who makes me really happy. Yes... sorry, am I overstepping it? [He asked when she repeated the word family, not wanting to creep her out] I've been trying to make the company the way I want it - no deals with any companies that test products on animals or don't pay their workers well. If I go for a deal that needs me to hide or change my life with you... it's not a good one. Right, no more secrets... [he said as he looked down] I still do not recall meeting you in the park [he laughed. He looked at her apologetically when she gave him a quick kiss and pulled away] I have missed him too, every time I had time to call him it was past his bedtime. I will [he got up and placed a kiss on her cheek before quickly writing his autograph on the bottom of her papers without reading it]
Joe: [Once he left, Joe drove past Caroline's to go say hi to Daniel. She was surprised to see him back already, but no one was happier about that than Daniel. He got a little teary eyed hugging him, suggesting if he couldn't just take him home for a bit. Caroline's reaction that it wasn't his custody day and they'd get trouble at future trials if she broke the rules only left him back in his questionable mood again when he got home. "Future trials", fuck that. He found himself looking through the cabinets till he tried to get back to his mantra - "I'm not drinking" - but praised himself lucky he didn't have any alcohol around the house. Feeling even more tired he went upstairs and climbed up in bed still fully clothed, where he fell asleep till he heard soft footsteps of Lindsey coming in] Mmhmmmghh [he started waking up again]
Lindsey: [After another long day at work, which was made better by Joe's surprise return, she was just getting to Joe's place now. She thanked the driver who took her from work to the house and let herself in, with her key. She wasn't sure where Joe would be so she checked the living room, kitchen, his office and finally the bedroom. She smiled and shook her head when she spotted him. She knew he was tired but didn't realize until that moment, just how tired he was. She quietly walked over and sat on the edge of the bed. Her hand gently ran through his hair as she watched him sleep. After a moment, she leaned over to pull his socks and shoes off so she could tug him in properly and let him sleep. She bit at her lip when she heard him moan.] Shhh, go back to sleep baby.
Joe: [Joe's eyelashes fluttered as he felt a hand softly stroke through his hair. He made some sounds when she took his shoes off, but at the sound of her voice his eyes went open. As she sat at the edge of the bed he got up a little to pull at her arm] Come here [he said, sounding tired but also a bit emotional]
Lindsey: [Once Lindsey got his shoes off, she noticed his eyes open. She gave him a small smile, even encouraging him to go back to sleep. When he pulled at her arm, it didn't take much convincing on her part to lean back into him] You okay? [she asked, as she buried her face into his neck]
Joe: [As Lindsey leaned onto him, her face in the warm place between his neck and shoulder, he wrapped his arms around her. He didn't answer for a moment as he just held her] ... I love you.
Lindsey: [Being in his arms like this, it was much more intimate than what had happened only a few hours ago. She pulled back when he said those three little words] I love you too.. [she leaned up and pressed a kiss to his lips] This place was really lonely without you.
Joe: [He gave a smile to her lips as she said back to him what they had only started sharing recently] So was I [he said as he pressed his lips on hers more intense]
Lindsey: Please don't go away again. [Lindsey pleaded, even though she knew it was out of his control sometimes. She quickly went along with him when the kiss became more intense] Are you-- are you more awake?
Joe: If I say never will you ignore my lie? [He said with a small smile. He got up a bit more as they kissed each other more intense. He nodded as he looked at het] Yeah. I could use the sleep.
Lindsey: Mmm, maybe. So long as you are only gone for a couple days, not weeks. [she pulled away slightly when he didn't answer the question correctly] That's not.. [she sighed] I'll let you go back to sleep, if you are tired.
Joe: Then I will say I'll never leave you again [he teased] No, no. I wanna be with you [he said immediately as he placed a kiss on her cheek] I can sleep later.
Lindsey: That’s good, unless I can go with you next time. [she hesitated for a minute, trying to make sure he was okay without more sleep. She pulled herself on top of him and captured his lips in another searing kiss.] I need you.. [she said while her hands moved down his chest]
Joe: I'll try my best. And we will go to Fiji, promised. [He moaned softly as she climbed on top and stroked his hand through her hair] I'm here [he whispered] Are you staying over tonight?
Lindsey: Can we go soon? I want a vacation with just you. [she smiled against his lips at his moan as she worked on the buttons of his shirt for the second time today] If you want me too. I’d really like to sleep in the same bed with you tonight.
Joe: First I have a week with Daniel next week. Then I'm all yours to go wherever you want. [He placed a kiss down her neck as he slipped down the straps of her dress on her shoulders] I absolutely want you too.
Lindsey: That sounds perfect. I can’t wait to have Daniel back here. Maybe we can get him that puppy. [she let out a gasp at the feel of his lips on her neck] Then I’ll stay. [she pressed kisses down his chest as her hands started to move towards his belt]
Joe: Me too. I wanted to take him here today... but oh well [he sighed] Do you already have a puppy picked out? Is it your or Daniel's puppy? [He laughed] Good [he said as he moved his hands to her back, unzipping the dress so he could tug it down to her waist, revealing her bra]
Lindsey: But at least you got to see him right? We'll make up for the time lost next week, don't worry. I know you missed him. [she nodded] Maybe I do. I can show you a picture of him. It's obviously Daniel's but /ours/ when Daniel isn't around. [she smiled, knowing they were getting much further this time than the time this morning. She moved her arms so the dress fell quickly and hung around her hips when the zipper was free. She sat back on his lap and looked at him tenderly as her hands started to undo the belt and unbuttoned his pants]
Joe: That's the least. I don't get why I couldn't take him, I've been away for 3 weeks. It's not like he has anything at home that I don't have at my place. Oh you do? [He smiled] Definitely show me the dog later - as long as it's a rescue. [He looked down at her revealed cleavage when her dress came down and ran his hand over her bare back while she sat on his lap. However, when she unbuttoned his pants, just like that morning, his hand went towards hers as he leaned back to look at her] Lindsey... [It came out with a chuckle, not what he intended, because he suddenly got so nervous. How could he be most intimate with her if he couldn't be honest with her about how he had felt without her?]
Lindsey: Baby, I know.. I know. It's just part of the schedule with your court agreement. I know you want to see him, but I know you would hate yourself if you did something to jeopardize losing him forever. We'll make it all up to him next week, okay? I promise. [she gave him a quick kiss, trying to make up for the hurt she could clearly see on his face] Of course it's a rescue! [she was working on his pants until she felt his hand on hers. Yet again, she was just as confused as this morning. Why was he stopping her from going further after so long? She was about to question him until she heard the chuckle after saying her name. That's when confusing went into anger. She pushed away from him, quickly standing up from the bed to create distance between them. She pulled her dress back up on her shoulders and crossed her arms] Why are you doing this? This is the second time you're rejecting me today.. what's the problem? I thought, given the time away, you would be the one trying to pull my clothes off. [she paused for a long minute, contemplating if she really was going to say her next thought] Did you.. did you find someone else while you were away? Is that why you don't seem attracted to me?
Joe: It's just fucking unfair. I've been away but I'm not getting the days back I would've had if I hadn't left, because it was my "choice" to leave [he madly and sarcastically made air quotes in the air] They all know that's bullshit. And Caroline talked about a /next time/ in court, which I thought was over. [He tried to cool off when she kissed him, knowing she couldn't help any of it either and only wanted best for him] Good. We gotta do good. [The word good reminded him again of what he had done and he automatically froze with his hand on hers. When he tried to start talking, things only got worse as she pushed him away] I'm sorry... I- [He stood up and froze when she said the last part, accusing him of something that haunted his past but he would never do to her] ... Well NOW I'm awake [he rolled his eyes] You think that? You really think I would cheat on you? I don't even know how to tell you that I'm attracted to you now if that's what you still worry about. [He shook his head] And here I thought you'd be mad about drinking. But clearly that wouldn't be such a bad thing to do.
Lindsey: [Lindsey was pretty sure she heard Joe apologize for stopping them in the moment but she was too far gone to even think that it was genuine, even if it was. She took another step back from him when he stood up] No fucking way Joe! Given the fact that YOU were the one to reject me, not once but twice today.. you don't get to stand there like you've done absolutely nothing wrong! [she yelled at him, realizing very quickly, that this was their first fight as a couple. She took a few deep breaths to try and calm herself down from her anger until she felt calm enough to speak to him.] I don't know what to think or believe. You are acting differently since you have been home but it's been a long 3 weeks, so I don't know.. maybe you did. The fact that you don't even know how to express that.. makes it worse. [it was her turn to be surprised by his last comment] Did you drink on the trip? [she asked, trying not to be accusing in any kind of way]
Joe: [As she took another step back, he took one towards her, helding up his hands] I didn't- maybe I did.. but I just couldn't yet- you know I would NEVER cheat on you right? Yes, I cheated on my ex, with one of her best friends, and my cousin was in love with her but I didn't care. Is that what you want to hear? Because it was YEARS ago. I've lived my life after that but I was single. I stopped as soon as I met you. Not even when we started dating, but when I MET you. Do you even know that? [He still didn't know how to tell her he was attracted to her because going for it again would only make her mad too] No... [he just whispered at her last question and avoided her gaze] ... But I wanted to. Many times. And I don't know what to do Lindsey. I don't know if I should call you, because sometimes it's 3am and I don't want to wake you up. And every time I wanted to talk to Daniel he was at school or sleeping. And now I get to see him but I don't get to have him. I... I just searched all the cabinets because I hoped that maybe you forgot to throw any of the alcohol out... but I didn't find anything. And I don't know how to tell you because you need to live your life like you deserve. I don't want you having to take care of me. Not with the feeling you'd be responsible for me. That you could never leave because of this. I don't want you to, but I want you with me because you want to, not because you have to. You remind me to be good. But sometimes I don't know how to make myself believe that when you're not there.
Lindsey: No, I don't know that you wouldn't cheat on me. You won't let me go past taking your shirt off so what else could it be? You did it once, you could do it again. If you're not attracted to me anymore, just tell me. [she went silent when he told her when he stopped sleeping around. She tried to compose herself, so she wasn't so angry at him for what had happened and instead, tried to listen as there was clearly something more going on.] Don't know what to do about what? You call me, anytime, any day. Even at 3am, I don't care if you wake me up from a dead sleep. If you're struggling, I /need/ you to call me. You searched here.. tonight..? [she took a step forward, wrapping her arms around his waist as she leaned down to catch his gaze] Hey, hey, hey. This is part of being in a relationship, hm? We're responsible for each other. When I'm having a hard time, you're right there to catch me. Let me be that for you, I want to be. I want to be with you, the good and the bad, we're in it together right?
Joe: You say you know I wouldn't cheat on you but meanwhile you're also saying I could do it again? So you clearly don't trust me. Of course I'm attracted to you! You're beautiful. But I don't know how to tell you. I want to have sex with you but - I just got nervous. When we're intimate I can't hide anything from you. You see right through me. [He got emotional as he explained to her, trying to avoid her gaze because he felt ashamed to admit that he had searched the house] I didn't want to worry you from miles away, I wouldn't even know what you could've done for me. I should be able to take a simple trip on my own. ... I used to have bottles everywhere. I think I threw really them all away for real. Even the ones disguised as cleaning supplies But it's much harder on a trip with everything there to grab. [When she wrapped her arms around him he finally looked at her] But you've been through so much [he whispered] You were trapped. I don't want you to feel that way with me ever. I love you so much. [He rested his forehead against hers] Would you be mad at me? If it ever did go wrong? Because you're gonna get it both. The good and the bad.
Lindsey: No Joe, I’m saying that I am so confused at this point as to why you don’t want to have sex with me right now that the thing that comes to mind is you are sleeping with someone else to satisfy your needs. I thought I trusted you.. I don’t even know. [she could feel herself getting emotional because of just the thought of losing him would break her] We don’t have to be intimate tonight.. seriously, if you just want to do it the way we used to, fine by me. But it’s been so long.. but you need to communicate with me instead of just stopping me in the middle of things. [she shook her head] I already was worried about it from miles away.. the nights that you didn’t pick up when you were away, I worried even more. Not because I think you’ll do something wrong but because I couldn’t be there to help you if you needed me. 3 weeks is not a simple trip, for anyone. [she felt herself calming down when she was in close proximity with him again] Yes.. but who was there with me to put the pieces back together? You. [she pointed at him] This is so much different than that. I don’t feel that way now and never will, so please do not worry about that. [she leaned into him and whispered] I love you too. And no, if it went wrong, I wouldn’t be mad. I want it all with you.
Joe: So you think I wouldn't sleep with you because my needs are already fulfilled? I don't have sex with /anyone/ but you [he stated firmly] No, no... I don't want to go back to how things were. We got so far. I don't want to be not-even-friends with benefits. You're my girlfriend. ... but I'm not a good talker. I always do before I think. Sorry if I offended you. I like your cute bra. [He bit his lip] I kept missing you through late night meetings and by the time I saw it was too late to call you. I'm gonna take you next time. [He closed his hand around the one pointing at him to hold her] Are we good again? ... I have to show you something. [He let her hands go to get up and took off his belt again where she had left off]
Lindsey: Yes, that seems reasonable. Then why won’t you let us go any further? Because we’re not even doing anything. [she shook her head] I just thought you didn’t want me anymore, after you rejected me twice today. [she looked down at her bra under her dress and realized she wasn’t wearing what she normally did for him] Oh.. thank you. I—I didn’t know you were coming in today or else I would have changed it for you. [she nodded, understanding what he was saying] You still could have called, even if I was asleep. I just wanted to see you and hear your voice. I’ve missed it so much. I’m very much okay with going with you next time. [she leaned forward and kissed his hand that was wrapped around hers] I don’t know.. are you going to let us go further tonight? [her eyes widen when he started to take his belt off] Are you serious? Now you want to do this..
Joe: Because... because there's this thing. Of course I want you [he apologized again while making sure to look at her this time] No need. You look stunning [he gave her a wink, some of old Joe coming back] I'll do better next time. I hope everything went well with you and the company while I was away. [When she asked him if they'd still go for it tonight, he nodded] As long as you are still attracted to /me/ after this. [He took a deep breath] Okay so... maybe you'll actually hate this. ... You gotta see it how I see it though. [He got up and walked to the bathroom, turning around in the door opening to check if she was following]
Lindsey: What thing? Then take me, if you want me. [she gave him a sweet smile, their fight seemingly over] Thanks baby. I think I’ll wear them over the others from now on. [she teased him] Everything was fine over here. A few minor issues but nothing to be concerned over. I can fill you in all about it tomorrow and finish having you sign some paperwork. [she smiled when he nodded] Of course I’m attracted to you! Hate.. what? What are you talking about? Joe? [she asked as he walked away from her] I’m so confused right now. [Lindsey followed him to the bathroom, trusting in him for what was to come next, even though they were half undressed]
Joe: I'll show you. So... you're not gonna wear lace again? [He asked a bit disappointed] I like you better naked anyway. Issues? [He asked, of course already not able to let things go] Did you take the papers home? [He gestured at her to follow] Come here. [When she followed, he turned on the bright bathroom lights and worked on his zipper again. He did it quick not to hurt her again for not being the one to take it off. He stepped out of it] Okay. [He said] If you hate it... well it's permanent actually so there's nothing to do about it [he admitted as he also took down his boxers, letting them fall to the ground] So.. [He took her hand in his and moved it down to his hips]
Lindsey: Do you want me to go back to wearing lace? These ones are more comfortable. [she let out a laugh] Of course you do. But that doesn’t work well at the office. [she shook her head and gave him a quick kiss to distract] Nothing to worry about tonight. Work will be there tomorrow morning when we go in. [she followed him into the bathroom, leaning back against the counter to face him. She tried to not look upset still when he pulled his own pants and boxers down] Permanent.. what is? [she let him move her hands, thinking he was maybe distracting her by getting back into it. But her fingers lightly moved over his skin and felt part of his skin raised up. She let out a gasp and quickly looked at where her hand. Underneath was a tattoo that was clearly still healing which means he had gotten it recently] You have a tattoo?
Joe: You don't /have/ to, but I can't say I don't like it [he said with a flirty grin] You can be naked all over my house though. [He gave her a sad face as he knew she wouldn't let him win about work] You're very bad for a workaholic to date. [As they seemed to have made up with a little flirting again, he found the courage to pull his boxers down and show her what he had decided without her. He let her fingers touch the skin gently as it still felt sensitive. He nodded at her as he tried to guess her reaction; she was clearly surprised, but negative or positive?] I got it a week ago. [He admitted] To... remind me. That when I see it, I know I can do good. For Daniel. And for you. Actually, not that I can do good. But that I /am/ good. Because you're the only one I ever believed that from. And I'm hoping this helps me remind it when you're not there to tell me.
Lindsey: Mm, I think I’ll stick with the comfy ones. Keep the others for special occasions. [she giggled] You would love that, but how would the workaholic did get any work done? It’s probably a good thing to date me because I give you a break from work, which is exactly what you need. [she was gentle when she touched his tattoo, still not quite understanding as the lettering was backwards but as Joe explained it, she turned to look in the mirror and that’s when she saw it — Good. She quickly turned back to look at him] So that when you look in the mirror, you can see it.. [her eyes started to get watery at the thought] Joe.. [she choked as she wrapped her arms around his neck and moved closer] I love it.. I love you. You are good, so good. You should always believe that. I can’t believe you did something like this.. [she leaned in to kiss him]
Joe: Every Tuesday is a special occasion right? [He said with a half smile] He'd get work done while you sit on his lap. I never needed a break because I didn't have you. [He didn't back away when she followed the lines of the tattoo. He saw the confused look on her face, but when he faced them in the mirror, she did the same and turned around to the mirror, but only briefly. He nodded when she looked at him again] Yes. It's not a tattoo for anyone else. It's for me. When I get up in the morning and it's a hard day and I get in the shower, I'll see it. It's there when I need it, and it's private to everyone else [he explained] so it won't loose it's meaning for being just a cool thing, because no one knows. [He wiped away a tears quickly before it could come] I love you too Lindsey, with all my heart. I really needed it that night I got it. And I know I'm gonna need it more to not make any bad decisions. Though, maybe this one was one of them. But I don't regret it. Even though it hurt like fucking hell [he laughed as he accepted her kiss]
Lindsey: What’s so special about Tuesday? [she laughed] I don’t think there is any chance of you getting work done if that were to happen. [she nodded as she listened to him, her fingers still gently tracing the four letters etched into his skin] Only you and I know.. and I love that. [she cupped his face in her hands as she deepened their kiss] You’re so strong, Joe. Even if you need the reminder every now and then, you are. No, no.. don’t say that. Or else I can’t convince you to get another one with me.
Joe: That we survived Monday. I guess we should try to test that out. [As she traced his skin, he softly stroked her arm] It's our secret. And the tattoo artist but we'll leave him out of it. [He closed his eyes as his lips met hers] You're too good for me. Another one? So you don't hate tattoos? [He looked into her eyes]
Lindsey: What about Wednesday? Isn’t it hump day that day? I’m always up for testing theories out. [she laughed softly] No, just our secret. [she shook her head] No, I don’t hate them! I just never had a good enough reason to get one. But I was thinking a lot about getting one with you but I thought you would hate them.. but clearly you don’t. So now I want one.
Joe: Then I guess you need to wear it two days for me to get me through the week [he grinned]. I was afraid you did. I didn't know how you'd react. It's gonna look better when it's fully healed. You want one? For real? So where do you want it?
Lindsey: Maybe I’ll just wear them on the weekends to make you wait all week for it. [she teased] I think what you did was special. And it’s okay to need a reminder. [she nodded] Yeah, just something small for the two of us. [she smiled and shook her head] I was hoping you could pick for me. Somewhere that’s it’s just a secret for you and me.
Joe: I don't think you would because you like the way I look at you when you wear them. I'm glad you don't hate it. And that you saw it now [he smiled] You want matching ones? I'm using my veto against name tattoos. Well... maybe you'd like it here... [he placed a small kiss on her neck] or do you prefer it here... [he placed a long kiss behind her ear]
Lindsey: I think I would because you look at me like that no matter what I’m wearing. Thank you for showing me.. I get it now. [she nodded] Yes, I want matching ones. I was thinking like a little coffee cup, or like a Chinese symbol or an infinity sign. Something small. [she smiled when he started kissing her neck] Hmm, everyone will see it there.. oooh.. [she let out a small moan when he kissed behind her ear] Mmm, I like that one.
Joe: I can't help that I fell for you. Sorry for being a dick earlier. Coffee cup? [He laughed] That does suit us but I'm probably already driving you crazy with my coffee. That is a bad place then [he said before moving to the sensitive spot behind her ear] Are you coming in the shower with me? [He whispered]
Lindsey: Did you literally fall for me yet? [she teased with a grin] It’s okay. I hate fighting with you. [she nodded] Don’t make fun of that. It’s very /us/. And just a little bit! [she leaned into him as he kissed the spot behind her ear] Okay.. [she agreed, breathlessly]
Joe: Why, do you like me on my knees? [He looked at her with hungry eyes] Me too. I like annoying you, but not actual fighting. I'm sorry, I just can't believe yet you want the one thing I keep bugging you about every day. Or we could get a tiny house. [He nodded at her and to keep it even, he didn't take off her dress because she hadn't had the chance to undress him either, so he stepped into the shower turning the water on, waiting for her to get in]
Lindsey: I do, very much actually. [she smiled shyly] You are /very/ annoying. Maybe because it reminds me of you. That’s what I want, something to says I’m yours. A house..? Is that something you’re thinking of? [she was surprised when he didn’t help her with your own clothes and just walked towards the shower. She frowned but took her time with taking off every article of clothing, making sure to show off even more to Joe. Once she was undressed, she moved in beside him in the shower, wrapping her arms around him again] It’s too cold.
Joe: Hmmm and what do you like that I do on my knees then? [He teased] It's a day job to make sure I'm annoyed every day. Yeah, a tattoo of a house. Because you're my home [he smiled. He knew she was probably offended when she put on a whole strip show before getting in the shower. To rush her a little - and because he had been on a plane for hours - he already washed his hair first, making sure he had enough shampoo for the soap to sexually wash down over his naked chest. When she finally got in he rested his head on her shoulder] You always put the shower on murder temperature [he complained, but did turn it warmer]
Lindsey: You know what I like. [she blushed] And you do a very good job at your extra day job. Joe.. you’re going to make me cry again. We can do that if that’s what you want. [she was surprised when he was all soapy when she finally got in the shower] You started without me? And it’s not that hot!! I just like to be cozy when I’m showering! You like your water like icicles. [she put her head under the warmer water to wet her hair]
Joe: Well let me know when you want it [he said with sparkly eyes] I know, I should get payed for it. Don't cry! You like it? We can do both, the coffee cup too. [He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and back] I was trying to lure you in. You like to be on fire while showering. Besides, I can warm you up too [he said]
Lindsey: I wouldn’t mind a preview of what it could be. [she shrugged nonchalantly] Now, let’s not go that far! You’re not /that/ good! [she teased] I do like that idea. I thought you were about to ask me to move in with you. Maybe I can do the house and you can do the coffee cup since you’re so obsessed with coffee. [she ran her hands over his chest] You’re all soapy. Cozy, not on fire! That would hurt.. oooh, I’d very much like that because I’m still freezing!
Joe: I mean I guess I can do that, just to see if you like it and stuff [he copied her shrug] I'm not? Now I'm gonna try waaay more my best. Oh... [his eyebrows went up] I mean, it's not like I don't want you to move in. We'd definitely not get a tiny house to live in though, that gets me claustrophobic. ... but you could move in here? [He laughed as he got some of the soap off] I had to. Because I was really, really dirty [he said with a dark voice] Let me warm you up. [He leaned over to press some buttons on his way too expensive shower, turning on the water coming from the sides] This is massage mode [He explained and got the normal shower head off from the top. He softly used it to wet her hair without getting any water in her eyes, then showered her shoulders] Getting any warmer yet? [He asked innocently when he moved the shower head lower to her breasts, taking one of it in his hand as his hand stroked over her nipple]
Lindsey: [she laughed when he followed what she did] Yes, you have to try /everything/ to see what I like. Oooh, no, I think you do enough to annoy me. [she was worried when he reacted to her saying about moving in] That’s not how I pictured you asking me.. but what if I were to give up my place? I mean, it’s not like there is much there. [her eyes went dark at the sound of his voice, finally adding up what this shower meant] Okay.. [she lightly pressed some kisses against his collarbone as she waited for him. She wasn’t expecting water to come from the sides, as she usually didn’t play with the shower settings by herself, but when it hit her tired muscles from the day, she let out a happy sigh] Oh, that feels good. [she let the water run down her body but when he asked if she was warmer, she shivered] No.. the water is still too cold. [she teased him as she let out a happy sigh when the water moved over her breasts, her nipples going hard under his touch]
Joe: Unfortunately I have /no/ idea what you're into. [He was surprised at her actually seeming like she wanted him to ask her to move in. With how she always wanted to keep that bad apartment, he hadn't thought she'd want to move in with him] I hadn't pictured you wanted me to ask it. You really want to give it up? Because I would've taken you in the day I saw that mattress on the ground. You're very, very welcome to stay here forever [he smiled] It does right? You've also got rain shower setting, but this one is reaaally good. It's not cold [he laughed as he did turn it a bit warmer before he slowly moved the shower head more down, over her stomach, below her belly button] Is it warm enough? [He whispered as he licked his lips]
Lindsey: What a shame. Guess you’ll have to test everything. [this was definitely not how she pictured having this conversation about moving in while they were about to get into it] Circumstances changed. You would have.. really? That place holds memories of my past.. I just want to think of my present and future.. with you. Besides, I can’t remember the last time I stayed there besides to pick up new clothes. [she sighed as the water moved over her body] The rain shower sounds heavenly. I love this one though, might be a new favourite. [she nodded when he asked about the water temperature] It’s better. What are you going to do? [she asked innocently as she bit her bottom lip]
Joe: I'm afraid so, we'll have to work down a whole list. [He placed a kiss on her lips] Absolutely. But I knew it meant a lot to you to have your own safe space - even if it was in a not so safe neighborhood. I think you'll just have to pick up some stuff one last time then [he smiled, thinking it was definitely a deal now] I can't believe all the times you were here and you only used the normal shower? My favorite is when you are in the shower. [He grinned] Just helping you shower. I thought you might need a /hand/. [He moved his hand between her legs to open them, then bringing the shower head down at a safer distance so it wouldn't be too strong for her]
Lindsey: That might take all night then.. not that I mind. [she returned his kiss] I know, but I think I’ve found my new safe space right here. [her smile grew wide when he talked about picking up her stuff for the last time and she crashed her lips against his to seal the deal before he could say anything else] There are way too many buttons on that panel, I was afraid I would break something or end up in a compromising position. [she giggled, knowing exactly what he was up to but allowing it to happen. She moved one of her hands to hold herself up against the shower wall as the other gripped his shoulder] I do need a— [her words were cut off by quick pleasure that escaped when she felt the water pressure between her legs]
Joe: I already slept so I have all night. I'm glad you did baby. I promise I'll protect you here. [He laughed when she explained her fear of breaking his shower] I thought you liked different positions [he said with a groan as her fingers sank into his shoulder when he moved the shower head between her legs to stimulate her clit] What do you need? [He teased]
Lindsey: You’ll have to keep me up then because I didn’t get to nap. [she smiled, knowing that wouldn’t be a problem] I like it when you are around! Not when I’m by myself. [her breathing got heavy as she could feel herself getting turned on by his actions. She closed her eyes and let her head fall back as the pleasure started] More of that..
Joe: I'm sure what we do will definitely keep you up [he winked] I guess I have to join you for a shower more often then. [He felt wildly turned on himself seeing Lindsey getting there from his play with the shower] You're so hot baby [he groaned as he went on like she wanted, moving his hand to make small circling movements with the water] Do you like that spot?
Lindsey: Mm, I cannot wait to see what your list is then. [she grinned with a nod] I think that would be best because we can get very /dirty/ together. [she moaned at his words and she was trying to put together words of her own until he switched what he was doing, which made her whimper at how good it felt] Yes, baby.. I like that, a lot.
Joe: I think my list starts with reminding myself of how sweet you taste again. Oh yes, we're gonna need lots of showers to help that. [He brought in his free hand to mix the water up with stroking her himself. He grinned before he asked her] How many times can you come in one shower with me?
Lindsey: Ooh fuck.. that’s a good way to start. [with the water pressure against her clit, it didn’t take much to already start picturing what he was saying] I like these settings in your shower a lot right now. [she moaned, feeling his fingers now creating even more pleasure between her legs. Her legs slid open further as her hand on the wall was slipping from condensation of the hot shower so she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck as her body tried to keep up with the pleasure] Ooooh Joe.. fuck. [she moaned] Many, so many fucking times.
Joe: Mmm I thought so too, my tongue all over your sweetness [he said with a groan as he tried to get her closer to her highest point] This is definitely my favorite way to shower now, much more fun than on my own. [As she wrapped her arm around his neck, he moved closer so his body touched hers, moving the shower head closer as he worked on her with his hand] Fuck... come for me baby, show me how much you've missed me
Lindsey: Mmm, yes.. I want that so badly.. [not only his actions but his words were bringing her close to the edge as she breathed heavily with the images behind her closed eyes] Showering alone is going to feel too lonely. [she moaned loudly in his ear as the pressure from the shower head became more intense as she still felt his hand working their own magic within the water.] Joe.. [she whimpered, knowing she was close but her stubbornness wanted to hold on for as long as possible] I wanna make it last.. don’t want it to be over yet..
Joe: Then you never get to shower alone anymore. Or get in the bathtub with me [he said as his hungry eyes looked at her, knowing they could make that very creative too. He answered her moan with one of his own while he did his best to make her come] Yes baby... come for me, then we will do it again and again... and you get to feel how hard I am for you [he groaned] you know you want to
Lindsey: We are going to have to get up extra early before work and our date nights if you want to start that. I wonder what we could do in the bathtub together. [she smiled when hearing his own moan from his actions. His words were encouraging to let go, especially wanting to see how hard he was just by what he was doing to her.] Oooh fuck.. baby! [Holding on that little bit longer made the tumble over the edge even that much sweetest and more intense as her body jerked in pleasure] Don’t stop.. [she gasped in pleasure as she screamed out in ecstasy] I’m coming for you.. ahhhh!!!
Joe: I'm already up early to work in my private office, so all we need is you to wake up earlier [he teased] We can get in there with some nice candles, all romantic. [Joe moaned to the beautiful sound at her coming, continuing to please her as she asked him to] Yes baby... fuck mmm... let it all go [he groaned as he brought down the pace of his hand to get her back to her breath]
Lindsey: [Lindsey groaned] But the bed is always so comfy and warm in the mornings. I am loving that idea so far with it being romantic. [she rode out the waves of pleasure he was bringing onto her as she held onto him tightly. Her hips rocked back and forth to get every last ounce of pleasure she could until she focused on her breathing and coming back to reality. When she could finally see again, she smiled at him, her cheeks red.] Mm, hi there. [she gave him a long kiss]
Joe: So is the shower. I'm a hidden romantic, you just haven't seen it yet. [Once he saw her coming back on earth, he slowly took his hand away and installed the shower head on top of them again. He smiled back at her red and wet smile] Well hello. Welcome back [he grinned as he answered her kiss] You are perfect.
Lindsey: So how about you carry me into the shower with you in the mornings then and wake me up? I really want to see that side of you, why are you holding out on me? [she laughed as they kissed] So is that the kind of welcome home you were looking for? [she teased him] What do you wanna do next? Because I’m definitely not done with you.. and I think [she looked down between them] you need some of your own pressure relieves.
Joe: I'm not sure you'd actual appreciate that [he laughed] because that side needs to stay special, it comes out on special occasions. I feel pretty welcome, yes [he nodded as he kissed her again] I want.... [he acted as if he was thinking really hard] to get inside of you. Really bad [he said with a grin as he looked down on his situation]
Lindsey: Probably not, but the idea is nice! Right? [she grinned] It can be special and still come out more than once a year. Come on, where’s my romantic boyfriend? [she smiled against his lips after their kiss] Mm, good. That’s what I was hoping for. [she looked down with him and gasped at the sight of his throbbing length] Ooh.. you definitely need some help with that. You sure you don’t want a little one sided action first? [she winked with a grin]

Merry Christmas!
You need to get out of here, Tyler. You need to figure out what it is you want to do, who you want to be, and then just really fight for it. You’re gonna be fine, Tyler. You’re a wolf now. Embrace it. Don’t fight it. Let it be the thing that makes you extraordinary. Elena Gilbert & Tyler Lockwood in The Vampire Diaries (2009-2017)
KYLE VALENTI | 3x05 “Killing me Softly With His Song”
The alien stuffy was a nice touch, though.
Jindsey plots: Lindsey finds Joe at a bar.
“Joe... what are you doing here? ... Did you drink that? Come, let’s go home, okay? Then we can talk about this.”
“What are you doing here? Just leave me alone. I don’t need you to watch me. Everyone is just constantly watching me till I make a mistake. Well... I just made five.”
“Five?”
“Five drinks. Now go away. Get mad at me another day. I don’t want it.”
“I’m not going anywhere. And I’m not mad. We’ll get through this, okay?”

Honesty || Jindsey
Who: Joe & Lindsey
Where: Montclair Hotel
What: Joe is the sponsor of a big event for the AA. He’s very nervous as in his speech he will confirm to people he’s an alcoholic (despite it only being rumours in the media that he never addressed before) and the AA has helped him to get sober. While Lindsey and Joe dance she comforts him and before leaving her he says “I love you”. He looks at her for a moment to show he really meant it and didn’t just burst it out, before he gets on stage for his speech.
Joe: [Joe signed for the millionth time as he seemed to be glued to the pavement in front of the hotel where the charity event for the AA was happening. His speech paper was burning in his pocket] Did they announce I'd be there? [He asked Lindsey] Maybe they didn't. Would anyone notice if I went home? God this suit is warm. [He tugged at his tie]
Lindsey: [Lindsey could tell that Joe was getting anxious about tonight, just standing beside him.] Joe, you are the key speaker tonight. Here, come on.. [she gently reached out to take both of his hands so he couldn’t sign anything more and politely smiled at the girl who looked disappointed she wasn’t getting an autograph. She quickly pulled him inside the building and found a small quiet place in the corner.] You’re going to be great, Joe. We’ve practiced everything you were going to say and I told you that if you get nervous, you just look at me and imagine I’m the only one in the room.
Joe: Meaning since I funded the whole thing, I can be the one to say plans have changed [he said, even though he knew she wouldn't let him. He squeezed her hand as he left the people outside; he seemed much more popular lately since appearing with Lindsey on several tabloids. People saw them as the new and fresh golden couple] I guess I just have to look at you the whole time then [he said and gave her a small smile]
Lindsey: That wouldn't be a good look on your image if you cancel now. Besides, I thought you were the one who wanted to take /me/ out on the town tonight. I have high expectations, you know. [she teased him, trying to make him feel a little less nervous about this event] You know I don't mind that. [she smiled back] Then you can take me dancing.
Joe: Do I /have/ a good image then? Well I did, because if I went alone I would've gone straight home. You're here to keep me from running - or accepting the first drink I see [he laughed] Oh you do? You want another meeting in the bathroom? [He winked] Then may I have this dance from you?
