Chapter 9
Well, they didn't really make the bed rock instead just slept snuggled up. They were both tired. Jo got up around 7. She did not wake Paul and changed to head back to Rosie's. They had a lot of work to do and supervise as well. With both their house in La Push and their bakery undergoing renovation, things were stressful and days were busy. It was being done by the same company but still there were questions asked and you had to be present to answer them. The renovations at their house were simpler so they had decided to just visit and see how things were going whenever they could. They focused their attention to the bakery because that's where the money was coming from now and in the future they expected it to increase.
Jo had just entered the house when she heard her grandma humming to herself while drinking a cup of coffee and reading the paper.
"How was your night, Josie?" Rosie asked with a glint in her eyes.
"It was good. I met a couple of Paul's friends, Jared, Kim and Seth. We chatted for most of the night." Jo answered while helping herself to a cup of coffee.
Rosie lowered her paper to look at Jo with her glasses perched low on her nose.
"What's wrong? You seem….thoughtful?"
"Paul asked me to be his girlfriend. Well, he didn't really ask, he introduced me as his girlfriend to his friends." Jo said looking into her mug.
"So? Isn't that a good thing?" Rosie asked tossing her paper to the side.
"Is it? I mean it has been a while since I was with Mike but…shouldn't I wait a little more? I don't want to be in the same predicament. I mean, everyone knows that these guys aren't into relationships. Why should I put myself in a situation which is guaranteed to get me hurt?"
"Sweetie, from my experience, the best way to get over a guy is to get under another! And I know Paul and the so called 'gang' he is in. They are actually really nice people. I haven't seen them hurt anybody. They help maintain peace in their tribe and have a neighborhood watch kind of arrangement. Sam and Emily are nice people. You'll like them once you meet them. And I know what you are talking about. They don't get into relationships but once they do, they don't get out of it! Sam, Emily, Jared, Kim they have been together for the longest time and trust me, it's not because they don't have options. Hell, I'll take on one of those boys if they'd have me! What I'm trying to say is, yes they don't get in to relationships but they've been known to have a special connection with one person and then they are set for life. Maybe you are that person for Paul." Rosie said shrugging and picked up her paper again.
Josie was thoughtful though. Jokes aside, Paul had said something about having a connection with her and Josie did believe in fate. So if fate was throwing them in this together then why resist? And Rosie said only good things about them. It wasn't easy to get in her good books. She looked like an easy going person but she was super analytical and critical of people. She didn't show it often but Josie knew her grandma didn't like her mother very much. She had made her son move out of town and then had cut off her connection with Rosie. Josie had always liked her though and had decided that when the time would be right, she would go and live with her.
"You have been under him, haven't you?" Rosie said suddenly, her paper covering her face but her voice loud and clear.
Josie blushed. You really didn't feel like discussing these kind of things with your grandparents but Rosie was cool. And she knew Rosie would never give her bad advice.
"I..we have, you know." Josie said squirming.
Rosie smiled even though her granddaughter couldn't see her.
"Well, that's sorted then. You are over that douche bag. You really shouldn't waste your time over bygones but look forward to more promising things. And Paul sure looks promising." Rosie said in a teasing tone.
Josie smiled ,"He does"
"So, was he good? Ah, silly question! How good was he?" Rosie asked tossing her paper to the side and putting her chin on her palm.
"Nana! I'm not giving you details! That's just…wrong!" Josie said embarrassed
"Why is it wrong? I mean it's not like your dad fell of out of the sky, you know! I've done things! Still do!" Rosie added indignantly
Josie's jaws jammed.
"Still do?" she croaked out. "How old are you?"
"What has age got to do with it?! Do you stop enjoying the taste of chocolate as you grow older?!" Rosie asked looking incredulous.
Josie stared at her before she burst out laughing.
AN: Who likes a feisty Nana?!
