Chapter 16
Anabella had fallen asleep a little bit earlier than normal. Joey had checked because her room door was open a crack, undoubtedly she had forgotten to shut it all the way.Once he was sure that she was sound asleep, he changed the temperature in the house from warm to super cold. As cold as it could go without hurting either of them.
Then he went to the master bedroom and got ready for bed and climbed between the sheets. He laid down and managed to fall asleep, he was worn out and knew tomorrow would probably be another battle with Anabella.

It was around midnight when Anabella woke up, she had been shivering in bed for a few hours now.
She had worn a pair of shorts and tank top to bed earlier because it had been pretty warm in the house, and now it felt like Alaska or the Arctic. She went to the master bedroom.
"Joe," she said, her teeth chattering slightly from the cold as she wrapped her arms around herself to try and stay warm. He looked like he was sound asleep under the covers, his chest bare, his sweatpants riding low on his hips. She sighed and reached over shaking him," Joe get up please," she whispered.
When he heard her voice that second time his eyes opened tiredly," What's wrong Anabella?" he asked tiredly.
"It's too cold," she whispered. She was shaking and shivering, goosebumps appearing on her bare arms.
"The heat must be broken sorry," Joey told her," I've got an extra sweatshirt in my bag if you want it."
"It's so cooooold. I don't want to go get that right now," She whimpered softly.
Joey pushed the blankets back a little bit," Well if you're really that cold you can sleep here. Next to me,' he said simply," I mean body heat is kind of known to keep people warm."
Anabella immediately crawled into the space next to him and didn't even argue about it. She laid her head on the extra pillow beside and reached for his arms, drawing them around her. He rested his head on the pillow beside the one she was resting her head on and looked into her brown eyes.
"Still annoyed with me?" he whispered.
"No," she said softly,' I know this wasn't really all your fault. It was the mothers. I feel like they just orchestrated the whole thing."
"They just want to be sure that you are taken care of. What happens if you lose your mother, who is going to take care of you?" he asked her softly," Am I really such a horrible guy in your eyes?"
Anabella sighed softly," No you aren't. I mean other than pretty much cutting me out of your life," she said softly.
"I wish I could take that back," he whispered as he ran his hands up and down her sides slowly.
"Well I think it's a little late to take it back," she said sadly.
"Do you know why I wanted to marry you?" he asked her softly.
"To give me the security I needed, you already told me that," she pointed out.
"It was more than just security. You're incredibly beautiful Anabella, I've been in love with you since day one," Joey said softly,' I was hoping that if you married me that you would fall for me."
"You're in love with me?" she whispered startled.
"Yes. I am, have been. I just could never find a way to tell you that. I knew you would throw back at me that I was never around, so I didn't want to put you through that kind of pain," Joey said softly.
"I-uh-," she said. She honestly did not know what to say about his confession. She had always dreamed of finding a man who would love her for the person that she was. Joey used to always do things for her before, things she was sure that no one else would take the time to.
He slid one of his hands around to her stomach and pushed her tank top slightly as he leaned in brushing his lips against hers softly and gently. His hand went higher taking the top up with it, as he found she wasn't wearing a bra under her tank top. His hand wrapped around her bare breast, his thumb moving across the nipple as he kissed her. His tongue flicking against her lips.
She grabbed the back of his head as she opened her mouth kissing him hungrily. She had no idea where this urgent need or passion came from, but all she knew was that she didn't want him to stop kissing her and touching her. She felt his tongue slip past her lips and into her mouth. She let her tongue brush up against his.
He pulled his tongue back.
"I'm sorry," he gasped as he started to let go of her and pull away from her body," I shouldn't have done that."
"Joe. I honestly don't understand anything I'm feeling right now. I've been so pissed at you, so annoyed, so hurt. But the second you kissed me just now, all I could think about was tasting your kisses, about enjoying the feel of your mouth on mine," she whispered.
"I'm sorry that I hurt you the way that I did. I probably really don't deserve this chance with you but you're here. In my life, in bed with me. I think we would be stupid to not at least try," Joey said softly," try to make us real."
"If making us real means I get to feel your body against mine and your lips kissing me then I think I got the better end of this deal," she whispered.
"I get you, and nothing can beat that,' Joey whispered as he tangled a hand in her hair and kissed her again, this time with more passion and heat. He slipped one hand into the back of her shorts, and past her white cotton panties as he grabbed her ass cheek in one hand. His tongue prodded against her lips as he was rubbing her ass.
She kissed him back as she dangled a leg around his waist and hips. She used her hands to pull his sweatpants down. She forgot all about being cold as they were peeling clothes off each other, or what little clothing they were wearing anyway.
His mouth moved to her neck, where he sucked, bit/nibbled on it, nuzzled. His hands were all over her body. She had one hand at the back of his head as she tried to press her body closer to his.
