Chapter 2 Continued....... in Joey's POV

“Of course the more hands the faster things get done” she said smiling. Shay got up and started towards the kitchen, i walked behind her watching her every step ready to grab her if she were to stumble or fall. "So Shay how long have you been living with Corey?" Chantel asked

"Just about a month now" She said in her beautiful voice. I watched her as she interacted with Chantel, i could tell she would fit in with the crowd nicely. I sat at the island in the middle of the kitchen watching as Shay had promptly taken over my jobs. i hadn't realized i was staring at her till her eyes met mine, she smiled and i swear my heart stopped. an emptiness filled me when she turned to help Chantel with something. i quietly got up and went back to the living room i had to talk to Corey about this. I found him and Shawn in a deep argument about something, i could rather careless what they were arguing about, i needed to talk to Corey soon. Corey looked up at me and a questioning look covered his face,

"I take it dinners ready" he asked

"No, not quite. I need to talk to you like now" i said trying not to sound suspicious. he nodded and said he'd be back to finish the argument in a second. We walked out into the front yard, silence fell between the two of us, it was the first awkward silence i'd had with Corey, i could tell him anything and get amazing advice from him. why was it so hard to tell him i was falling for his sister? i sighed and looked up at him, he wasn't even looking at me he was staring off into space.

"What did you want to talk to me about Joe?" he asked suddenly after another few minutes of silence. i took a deep breath and opened my mouth to answer but he cut me off "Shay likes you, you know" i was floored, i didn't know what to say to that.

"Really" i choked out finally

"Yah, she told me last night when i went in to check on her" he looked at the pavement, "i dont want her hurt Joey, i dont want her to fall in love with you and then find out you dont feel the same towards her" he looked me straight in the eyes and i'll admit the look in his eyes scared me.

"That's what i wanted to talk to you about" i took another breath "i do feel the same towards her, i mean i know we've known each other for like a month but in that month i've seen everything in her that i tried to find in all the others chicks i've been with. and i know that it's up to you, i mean your my best friend and i trust you with my life, but i'm not going to do anything if you dont want it to hap....." he cut me off again

"Why wouldn't i want her to be happy?" he asked defensively

"that's not what i ment, i ment if you dont want her and i together I'll back off and not do anything"

"i was just thinking if you guys do try something and it doesn't work then there'd be tension and shit between you guys and make shit hard to do with like everybody and shit. that and i dont want anyone hurting her"

"I know where your coming from and i understand, i dont want to hurt her trust me. and as for the tension shit i think i could manage to stay friends with her even if dating didn't work" i said looking at the ground. i didn't think i'd ever be having this conversation with him, as two months ago he didn't have a sister. i glanced up at him and found him looking down at me, he nodded and i understood what it ment, i nodded back and we turned back into the house. we didn't say anything to each other after that we just went our ways.

Shay's POV

i saw Joey leave out of the corner of my eye, i was suddenly worried i'd done something, i'd never been good with boys i always screwed things up somehow. i tried to concentrate on doing what i was doing and not let it get to me that i didn't know why Joey had just up and left. i guess Mrs. Crahan noticed i wasn't that concentrated as she came over to me and put her hand on my back. i looked up at her and smiled slightly, she took the spoon out of my hands and guided me towards the island Joey had been sitting at. We sat down and a silence fell between us. "Something bugging you, dear?" she asked breaking the silence

"Kind of, i mean i've been shut up in a clinic for 9 years. and then when i'm about to be allowed to go home for a while i get told my parents are dead and that i have to go live with my older brother than i didn't even know i had and now i'm falling in love with his best friend" i said putting my head down on the counter top.

"I'm sure things will work out honey. Does Corey know this?" i nodded against my arm.

"I told him last night"

"Well there you go i'm sure he'll explain things to Joey and everything will work out. i've seen the way Joe looks at you and trust me he feels the same towards you" i was glad my head was down as my cheeks suddenly burned like they were on fire.

Joey's POV

i waled back into the kitchen and found Shay and Chantel still working away on dinner. i walked over to Shay and looked over her shoulder "Dinners not ready yet?" i asked making her jump. i laughed and put my hand on her hip, i knew it was probably out of line bu i now had permission to flirt with her all i wanted so i really didn't care unless she told me to fuck off which i knew wouldn't happen.

"No, dinners ready mind going and getting Carey and the others" Shay asked me with a smirk, all my blood rushed somewhere other than my brain with that smirk

This is going to be more fun than i thought i said to my self. i kissed her cheek and walked back into the living room.

"Dinners ready" i announced, before walking towards the backyard where Shawn's kids were still playing in the pool. I walked out onto the pool deck and found the two girls splashing and playing around. "Alright you drown rats dinners ready"

"Uncle Joey!" they screamed. i suddenly knew i was about to get very wet, i watched the two girls jump out of the pool and run towards me, i braced myself for impact, i wrapped my arms around the two of them and stabilized myself. "When did you get her uncle Joey?" Alex asked

"I've been here the whole day, silly child" i laughed

"I'm not silly"

"Yes you are. i've been living with uncle Corey for a while to help him out with his little sister"

"Uncle Corey has a sister?"

"Yep, but she's sick so i'm here to help her and uncle Corey. Now in the house before dinner gets cold" i said putting them down, i watched them look at each other then at me. i knew i was in trouble now, they suddenly ran at me, pushing my into the pool then running off into the house.

Shay's POV

I knew i'd gotten to Joey with the smirk i'd given him. i listened to him tell Corey and Shawn dinner was ready but i got confused when he didn't come back into the kitchen with them. Suddenly there was the sound of 4 tiny feet pounding against the floor, and two little girls came speeding into the kitchen running into the back of Corey. i laughed as he turned around and playfully growled at them, making them scream. "Where's Uncle Joey?" Chantel asked them, they laughed

"We pushed him in the pool" the giggled. i laughed myself, and put the tea towel i was drying my hands with down.

"I'll got get him" i said walking out of the kitchen, i grabbed a towel from the bathroom and headed out into the backyard. i found Joey on his back just floating around staring at the sky, his hair fanned out in the water around his head, his jeans and sweater dragging him down in the water. "You know that's how people drown" i said startling him. he looked at me

"Be that as it may, it's nice just floating here" he laughed

"Come one dinners getting cold" i said holding my hand out to him, i knew he wouldn't take it, i wasn't exactly strong enough to pull him out. he slowly got out and walked over to me, it was the first time i realized just how blue his eyes were and that he was just taller than me. i looked up at him and found him looking down at me, i couldn't think of anything to say to him, well other than wanting to blurt out that i loved him, but i held it in. i watched him it looked like he was fighting to keep something in as well. i watched him move closer to me, so that now we were only inches apart.

"Shay" he said quietly

"Joey" i said matching his tone, he lowered his head towards me, his lips only hairs from mine

"Guys dinners getting cold!" Corey yelled from the back door. i cured him in my mind for having the worst timing in the world. i heard Joey sigh as he stepped away from me, i handed him the towel and made my way back into the house.
