no strings attached - j.b

slow down

"What...are you doing?" Joe looked at Phoebe in confusion as she flipped the covers off of her and got out of bed. They had gone inside after they had both caught their breath, tossing their clothes carelessly on the floor and getting into bed together.

"I have to go" Phoebe declared as she bent down to pick up her jeans from the floor. Joe sat up in confusion. "But...the second episode of The Office just started" he stated and pressed the remote to stop the show.

Phoebe sighed. "I know, but first of all I know what's happening anyway, this is the episode where Dwight creates the fake fire..." she explained as she walked to the door dressed only in a thong, her jeans hanging over her arm. "...And besides, I have a few things to do today and should get started on them before the after effects of the orgasm wear off" she grinned and opened the door.

"But..." Joe jumped out of bed and followed her out of his bedroom. "...We can also stay in bed for a bit, watch The Office and I'll give you another orgasm before you leave, then you'll still have the after effects when you go home later" he suggested as he ran down the stairs behind Phoebe.

Phoebe laughed as she fished her shirt and bra off the floor once she reached the bottom. "Tempting offer, but I really need to get home and get back to work" she smirked at him and put on her bra.

"Come on" Joe put his arms around her and pulled her to him as he unclasped her bra again, which Phoebe had just clasped. "You've already worked so much this week, why don't you take a break for a few hours?" he let his hands travel down Phoebe's back and clasped her ass cheeks.

"Joe..." Phoebe sighed as she clasped her bra again before taking his hands off her ass. "...You know I'd stay here if I could, but I've already fallen behind on my schedule since I showed up at your door. I can't fall any further behind" she slipped on her jeans.

"Ok, then...I'll just come with you" Joe pulled her back to him while Phoebe buttoned her jeans. Tenderly, he kissed the crook of her neck. "...You study and after each task you successfully complete, I give you an orgasm to give you motivation for the next one. What do you think of that?" he suggested.

Phoebe giggled as she placed her hands on the back of Joe's neck. "Sounds tempting too, but we both know you're more of a distraction than help to me, don't we?" she pushed Joe's head towards her by the chin so he was looking into her eyes.

"i'll behave, i promise. You won't even notice I'm there" he pulled a pout. "I'm sorry Joe. I...I really need to get this done today" she apologized as she ran her hand over his cheek.

Joe sighed. "Alright, but at least promise me we'll see each other again this week, ok?" he mumbled, handing her her shirt. "I'll try, okay? Depending on how I get through tomorrow, we'll go to a party. You could pick me up again?" she looked at him questioningly.

He nodded before pressing a kiss to her lips. "call me. I'll come and pick you up" he clarified, pinching her butt cheeks before letting go. "Go before I change my mind and keep you here" he grinned at her.

Phoebe laughed as she slipped on her shoes and grabbed the rest of her stuff. "How are you going to do that? Tie me to your bed?" she smirked at him. "I've got some ideas in my head, yeah" Joe winked at her.

Grinning, Phoebe bit her lower lip as she opened his front door. "Keep them in mind. You can try them out tomorrow night" she suggested. "Oh, you bet your cute ass on that I will do that" Joe assured her.

"Can't wait" Phoebe laughed before raising her hand. "See ya, bye" she smiled at him as she ran down the stairs and got into her car.

"Oh, there you are. Was wondering when you were coming home today. Were you at the library again?" Tris looked up from his phone as Phoebe unlocked the door and stepped inside.

"Nope" Phoebe replied curtly as she plopped down on the couch next to him and pulled her laptop out of her bag. "Then where were you?" Tris asked, watching as his cousin turned on her laptop and opened her notes, stressed.

"Okay, don't say anything. You haven't done anything yet, so you haven't been anywhere to work....Joe? You were back at Joe's" Tris concluded. "Yes, I was. And can you please not bug me now, I really need to get this done" Without looking up from the screen, Phoebe waved her hands in front of Tris' face.

"I was here first, why don't you go to your room" Tris grumbled and crossed his arms in front of his chest. "Ugh, you're like a child sometimes" Phoebe groaned as she hurriedly pounded on her keys.

"Better a child than horny all the time. Say, when are you going to teach Katie and Grandpa that you give their quarterback...an extra cardio workout?" Tris gave her a provocative look.

Phoebe looked up, annoyed. "As late as possible" she explained before giving Tris a glaring look. "And don't act like I'm the only one who's horny all the time. Your collection of phone numbers in your room says otherwise"

"Ok, someone seems really stressed" innocently Tris raised his arms and moved a bit away from Phoebe. "And they say sex helps with stress" he added mumbling.

"It did. Until you came" Phoebe hoisted between clenched teeth. "Ok, Phoebe, stop" Tris sighed. "Close the laptop and listen to me for a brief moment" he put his hand on Phoebe's laptop, which she immediately swatted away.

"Tris, I really need to work" she sighed. "Just five minutes. It won't be long. But please listen to me" Tris asked her. "Alright" Phoebe groaned and flipped her laptop shut, turning to Tris and crossing her arms in front of her chest. "What's up?"

"Phoebe, you need to slow down a bit. You've been so stressed the last few days, and I know you think you always have to do everything right away and have everything ready, but slow down a gear, Pheebs. If you keep going like this, you're only going to break yourself. You're only 22, burn out at that age wouldn't be good" Tris put a hand on her shoulder worriedly.

"Sure, you should be as up to date as possible with your studies and also not give up working at the bengals, plus see your family and friends and fuck Joe, but the way you're living right now you won't last long, trust me"

Phoebe sighed. "Don't you think I realize that myself? But what am I supposed to do? I can't give any of it up" she mumbled with her head down.

"Set boundaries. Make it your goal to only put in an amount of hours every day for college. You didn't get something done, screw it, you'll just keep doing it tomorrow. If you're going to be in the facility, forget about college, use that time to switch off" Tris suggested.

"I don't know if I can get everything done that way. After all, Sundays and Saturdays are taken up with Bengals and Lucas Bearcats football games and I definitely don't want to miss those" Phoebe mumbled desperately.

"Then start by not doing anything for college after 6 on three days, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The other days you can work through, but on those days you're done after 6. Time for your friends, family, Joe. Time for you, Phoebe. Plus, you can use the Saturdays the Bearcats play away to catch up on stuff" Tris suggested.

"What about the household? How am I going to squeeze that in?" Phoebe asked. Tris grinned. "Don't worry about that. I'll take care of that one. I'm bored way too often anyway" he shrugged.

Sighing, Phoebe pulled him into a hug. "You're the best, you know that? Thanks" she mumbled as Tris put his arms around her. "Just promise me you'll make enough time for everything else besides college, okay?" Tris asked. Phoebe nodded. "I'll try."

VICTORY MONDAY!!!!! tbh im proud of this team. We won without Hayden, Tee and TB. Screw the people who are saying Joe is carried by his WRs and stuff, we proved them wrong! So many people stepped up and even if it wasn't the best game ever, we won, the curse is broken, who fucking dey
