polly2010- Thanks! :D

Emmettluver2010- I'm glad you like her and yes Paul did imprint on Josephine.

orangeporqupine- I'm glad you liked the title placement in the last chapter B) ! It was actually after writing that chapter that I decided the name of the story.

Shakilove- I'm glad you do!

I'm happy to see all of you catch on to Rosie's character and like it. She's going to stay like that in the story. She's the definition of weird, cool slightly crazy grandmom who doesn't hesitate to speak her mind! :)

Enjoy!

Chapter 6

Jo had a lot of work to do, with the renovations, at home and the bakery, taking up a lot of her time, then the baking. They had one other person to help them with the cooking and another to help with the cleaning. Rosie and Jo liked to bake most things themselves. They got up early and made the preparations in the morning or sometimes baked at home and carried the goodies in Rosie's minivan to the shop. Jo was thinking of turning it into a little cafe. They were already working on it and were trying to decide everything they'd have on the menu.

Because of all the things she had done, the night before and then a whole day of work, Jo was ready to call it a day at 5pm. Rosie liked to stay up late cause she loved chatting with people and she had her own regulars who would visit to do just that.

Jo kissed Rosie as she was leaving. She knew she'd probably pass out as soon as she hit the pillow. She planned to walk back to help her relax and work up a little bit of an appetite. All the smells from the bakery, didn't make her hungry. Sure, they were good at what they did and the sweet delicacies were amazing but smelling them whole day, every day, got to her and curbed her appetite. She had always been a finicky eater anyways. She liked very few things.

She had been walking for only about five minutes when she heard a car slowing down near her. Following her instincts, she started walking faster but the car came up to her side and the window rolled down and sitting behind the wheel, in all his glory, was Michael. Jo, stopped from the shock of seeing him there. She stared at him and inadvertently wondered why she had been with him in the first place? He wasn't that bright or extra ordinarily handsome but then she thought that maybe Paul had raised the bar for her and she was subconsciously comparing him to Paul and of course Mike lost in all departments.

"Hi, I thought it was you." Mike said offering a small smile but Jo frowned before walking again.

"Hey!" Mike yelled as he parked his car and jogged to her.

"What's the hurry?"

"Maybe I just don't want to talk to the guy who cheated on me." Jo replied but made no attempt to slow down.

"JoJo, I'm sorry." Mike said stopping her by standing in front of her and rubbing his palms over his face, using his nick name for her.

"Don't call me that! You have lost the right to act all nice and familiar with me! I can't believe you are talking to me! Oh, did Samantha put you up to it? Or maybe she realized what a scum bag you are!" Jo said angrily. Her body was shaking with anger and because of fatigue as well. She was a delicate girl and all the activities from the night before, in the morning and ultimately her day was catching up to her.

"Are you all right, Josie? You're shaking." Mike asked with a frown. Of course he had realized his mistake two minutes after he had made it. Josephine was beautiful; Samantha wasn't half the girl she was either. She had been known to sleep around but Josie, even though there were always standing offers for her, had never cheated on him or payed attention to anyone else as long as they'd been together. Maybe he should have had more patience and kept it in his pants longer.

"Josie? What are you doing here walking in the cold?" Paul said as he came out of the forest. He had patrol at the time but when he had felt her presence, he had come out from the other side of the forest to check if she was nearby and that's when he found her arguing with a guy. Unable to help himself and worried about her safety, he hurried out to meet her.

Jo gaped at him. He was only in cut offs and sneakers.

"Josephine" Paul said softly as he brushed his hand against her cheek. He had missed her. They had mated and it made staying away all the more difficult. All he wanted at the moment was to drag her back to his house and just enjoy her presence and take care of her. His house smelt better to him because her smell lingered in there but nothing beat the smell of his bedroom! It smelt like them and their union. It got him aroused and he loved it.

"Who are you?" Mike asked snottily. Who was this guy touching JoJo like that. And for fuck's sake what was he doing out in the cold with only cut off's on? He wasn't somebody JoJo should associate with.

His voice made Jo and Paul aware of his presence. They had been lost staring at each other. While Josie didn't really understand her feelings completely, she knew she found him extremely attractive and he had been really sweet to her. Rosie too had been randomly talking about him throughout the day. Telling her what a good guy he was, how he had once scared off a guy who had almost mugged Rosie. She was a fan that was for sure.

"I would have stayed to chit chat but I'm not going to. Josie is cold. My friend is just driving over. We'll leave with him." Paul said as Jo just nodded. Paul had pulled her close to him and she buried her nose in to his side. It was cold and she was tired but even without clothes he was hot… Wait. A. Minute.

"What are you doing out here without clothes in the forest?" Jo asked as she moved back slightly to look at him.

Paul looked a little guilty. He had to lie for now and that did not feel good.

"I was out for a jog. Just before I saw you, my t-shirt got caught on a branch and got torn, so I took it off. I was hot from the exercise any way." Paul shrugged as if it was no big deal he was almost naked in the middle of August, out on the street no less.

Josie gave him a look that clearly said she didn't completely believe him." You could get sick, you know. Even though you don't feel the cold, you could still catch it." Josie said as she returned to pressing her nose in to his chest while Paul smiled at her. Nobody had spoken to him like that in a long time. All his pack brothers were the same temperature and of course everyone knew they did not need warm clothes.

"Who is he JoJo?" Mike asked again, this time addressing her. He didn't even want to look at him. He was probably a thug or something. Why was Jo snuggling up to him anyway? And he wanted to offer her a ride. They'd get time to talk.

"This is Paul, Mike, not that it's any of your business." Jo said through closed eyes, not offering any details. She was feeling drowsy.

Before Mike could reply, Paul saw his best bud, Jared, driving over in Paul's truck. He had asked him to drive it over when he had found Josie. They got in the truck without so much as a glance back in Mike's direction. Josie was already half asleep and Paul sat her in his lap and cuddled her as Jared drove away.

Mike gaped as he took in the very expensive looking Ford truck in black. How could this half naked man afford it? Surely they were criminals or something. He had to warn JoJo and get her away from these men.

AN: oh oh! Who smells trouble? :)
