Thanks to the reviewers-

Shakilove- Thanks so much! I'm glad you couldn't decide. If you ask me, I know u haven't but I can't help my rant sometimes, I like the simplicity and fluff of TIB, then the drama of DAL! And I think I'm writing longer chapters for Adhesive?... And I've changed it to two imprint stories, hopefully I'll be able to see it through. But thanks for the review. You're awesome! Just like all the readers! ;) but you're definitely one of my fav's 'coz you review regularly. :*

polly2010- I'm glad you liked Rosie's character. I was a little scared while writing her. She's a supporting character but she says some funny stuff. Thanks for the continuous support and reviews! :)

Enjoy!

Chapter 11

"Let me help." Jo said for at least the tenth time but Quil just grinned, ruffled her hair and moved the heavy suitcase and duffel bags into Paul's guest room where Jo was going to stay.

Jo gaped at him wondering how he was able to move all that stuff but she really shouldn't have been that astonished since she had seen them carry heavier stuff around her café. Turns out, Quil, Brady worked for the construction company they had contracted for the renovation and repairs. It was owned by Sam. The guys had been busy with some other assignment hence that had been the first day they had come over but they had promised Rosie that they would finish off work as quickly as possible. They had also offered to help them move from their house in Forks to Paul's house and get settled. And that's what they were doing two days later. The girls had used the two days to pack their stuff. Their landlord couldn't really say anything because they had already paid for the month.

The girls were setting up their stuff in the rooms. Rosie had taken up residence in a room down, near the kitchen while Josie had taken a guest room adjacent to Paul's room. He had wanted to move her in his own room but she had seemed reluctant and so he offered the next best solution. Now as Quil and Brady brought their stuff in to the rooms, they were setting it up according to their convenience. Paul was working but had promised to be home as quickly as possible.

"There, all done! Phew!" Brady said as he brought in Rosie's last carton.

"Thanks so much!" Rosie said as she stood on her tippy toes to offer him a kiss on the cheek.

Brady chuckled at her fail attempt to reach him but bent to give her access to his cheek.

"Stop molesting him, nana!" Josie joked as she brought him a can of soda.

"He won't admit it, but he loves it!" Rosie said with her nose in the air.

"You can make me admit to anything as long as you feed me lunch. I'm starving!" Quil declared as he took a can of soda as well before making a show of collapsing on the coach.

"I feel like chicken soup." Josie said

She looked at the crestfallen faces of Quil, Brady and Rosie.

"But I can make hamburgers and a salad too."

"Now you're talking!" Rosie said and Quil and Brady grinned.

Josie shook her head and headed to start on lunch as the guys argued for the t.v. remote while Rosie smacked them on the head with a newspaper and took it, citing her senior status as her universal right to the remote. The guys whined as she switched to some soap opera but quickly shut up when they saw the female lead in swim wear.

About an hour later, Josie was done with the hamburgers and salad while her soup was still cooking. She was a fan of soup and smoothies. You could feed her just that every day and she'd be happy. She liked chicken too but that was about it. Maybe noodles sometimes but that was seriously it. She had always had a small appetite. But she was healthy so she didn't fret over it too much.

Jo was setting up the burgers and salad to take it to the living room and she turned around and almost dropped them when she saw Paul standing just behind her. She marvelled at his reflexes when he quickly caught the tray and bowl before she dropped it.

"Thanks. Sorry." Jo said flustered

"It was my fault. I didn't mean to startle you." Paul said admiring her. She was wearing a well worn jeans and purple hoodie, her hair tucked in a bun, a few strands loose around her face. She was a vision to him. And standing in his kitchen, cooking just increased her charm to him. He didn't realize just how old fashioned he was until now. Looking at his woman in the kitchen made him realize it. He'd like to see her in more of a domestic role than anything else he reckoned.

"No. I should have been more aware." Jo said as she took the bowl while Paul carried the tray out.

"Finally!" The guys said as they quickly took the burgers. Rosie glared at the back of their heads when they changed the channel but said nothing as she sat with Paul and Josie.

"There's going to be a bonfire this weekend. I'd love it if you'd go with me." Paul said as they had just started eating.

"Cool! What time?" Rosie grinned while Jo rolled her eyes.

"Sure" Jo said easily. Nothing wrong with going to a bonfire.

"Don't think of it as a first date or anything. I mean, I was already planning on asking you out for tonight." Paul said a little shyly.

"Sweetie, you had better take him up on that before I do!" Rosie piped in.

"Nana!" Jo chided. Rosie could be pretty infuriating sometimes.

"Sorry" Rosie said deflated

Paul smiled. She was just a lonely woman, who was enjoying the company of youngsters. Frankly, he was glad to have someone elderly living with him. He had missed that.

"You can come too. Billy and some of the elders will be there at the bonfire."

"I'd take offense to that 'elders' statement but you are cute. So, yes, I accept your invitation." Rosie said mock elegantly

Jo sighed. There was no use fretting over her. She offered Paul an apologetic smile but he just shrugged lightly and smiled back.

"You know you haven't actually answered him about tonight." Called out Quil's voice from the couch

Of course they were listening, Paul thought. It was his turn to offer an apologetic smile.

"Okay. Let me know what to wear, casual or formal." Jo said casually even though her heart fluttered in nervousness.

Paul could sense it though but no made attempt to mention it.

"Oh.. I bet he'd let you know 'how' to wear it too." Rosie muttered to herself but of course it was loud enough for them all to hear and they chuckled while Josie glared at her.

You just couldn't get her to shut up!
