Chapter 28— About Last Night

Viola woke up naked on the bed the next morning to see a smiling Joe watching her as he laid beside her. She smiled in return by the time the sleep had cleared off a little from her eyes.

"Good morning beautiful, how was your night?" Joe asked.

"My night was perfect!" She replied and played with his cheek, "Thanks to you!" She bit her lips sexily and grinned.

"Careful now I think I might get addicted to you", Joe whispered into her ear and stroked her nipple.

"It's not such a bad idea is it?" She chuckled, "I don't mind sneaking into your room every night!"

Joe brushed her hair with his fingers and kissed her forehead.

"I've got to get to work and you– ", he paused. "Will you be at your salon today?" He jumped out of bed and walked towards the bathroom.

"No, I'm staying in today, I already informed the girls yesterday. It's too cold outside!"

"So what will you do today?"

"Mostly nothing! I could watch some movies, read a book or treat myself to total bed rest, cause I need it!" She stretched and sat on the bed.

"That's nice, I wish I could say the same for myself!" Joe shrugged.

He entered the bathroom and turned on hot water, he took his bath and went back into the room.

"Do you think they heard us?" He asked.

"Possibly, I don't really care!" She smiled.

"How do you think your brother would react when he finds out we're a couple now?" Joe asked as he put on his clothes.

"We're a couple?!" She frowned with chuckle.

"Well Yeah, I thought that's what last night was all about!" He slid his legs into a brown pair of trousers, buttoned his blue shirt halfway and sat on the bed alongside Viola. "I mean– if you're ok with that!"

"I don't mind being Doctor Joe's girlfriend!" Viola smiled broadly, bit her lower lip and flung her hands around Joe's neck. "Don't mind my brother he's not my father after all, he doesn't have a say in this! I'm all yours pretty boy!" She added.

"Really?!" Joe exclaimed with excitement in his eyes then folded his arms around Viola's waist.

"Mm hmm", she nodded with a beautiful smile.

Joe kissed her deeply on the lips.

Knock knock!

"Joe, Uh– Amelia told me to come call you for breakfast, you're joining us aren't you?!" William spoke from outside of Joe's door.

"Oh my God that's my brother and I'm naked!" Viola whispered harshly with anxiety written all over her.

"Uh– yeah I'll be right out, Thanks Will!" Joe quickly dismissed him.

"I thought you didn't mind, why're you worried?" Joe teased her.

Knock knock again!

"Joe it's Amelia, I brought you breakfast, I just thought you'd prefer to eat in your room today?!" Amelia announced from behind the door.

"Uh– Thanks Amelia, but I've always preferred to eat with you guys!"

"Oh don't be silly, it's no big deal. I already brought the food upstairs don't make me take it all the way down again!" She spoke with a flakey voice.

"Uh– Alright give me a minute!" Joe hurriedly ushered Viola into the bathroom and threw one of his shirts at her to put on. Then he rushed to open the door.

"Oh you're not dressed up yet? Aren't you gonna run late?!"

"Thanks Amelia, just set it down on the table".

She laid the silver tray on the table in Joe's room, the tray contained some cookies and a glass of milk.

Whamm!

The sound came from the bathroom, Viola had hit the soap dish with her hand and it fell to the ground with an awfully loud noise.

Amelia and Joe raised their heads towards the bathroom in shock!

"I'm sure it's those rats again, they must have found their way into your room!" She began to march angrily to the bathroom.

"It's nothing Amelia, I'll handle the rats later!" Joe stopped her from going forward.

"You have your breakfast, I'll handle the rats!" She pushed forward.

"Seriously Amelia don't bother yourself!" Joe tried again, but she began to stretch her neck into the bathroom.

"Huh?! V? Is that you?!" She had caught sight of Viola in the bathroom.
