Chapter 12

Paul had told Josie it was a movie and dinner date and Josie was fine with that. She was done getting ready. She wasn't much into make up. She liked to let her skin breath and only applied some lip gloss and eye liner. She had showered and dressed rather quickly so she had time to spare.

Rosie was still at the bakery and Jo had already messaged her to let her know she would be leaving in a little while. She walked down to wait in the living room for Paul who was getting ready as well. She had just settled on the couch and was flicking through channels when she heard heavy footsteps on the staircase.

"Sorry! You haven't been waiting for long have you?" Paul asked and Jo switched off the T.V. and got up to face him.

"No no...I just came do..", Jo trailed off when she got a look at him. He was hot! His muscles on display in the tight t-shirt.

"What? Something wrong? Should I change?" Paul asked concerned. He should have chosen something else, he thought. She looked absolutely stunning.

"No. You look great." Jo complimented honestly. She didn't think she was the possessive type but seeing him like this might bring out that side of her. She could already imagine all the girls leering at him.

Paul grinned," you look absolutely beautiful". He couldn't believe he got that lucky.

"Let's go or we'll miss the movie." Jo said as she moved towards the door.

Paul had half the mind to tell her how he wouldn't mind missing all of it. He could think of so many things he wanted to do just then but this evening was about her. So he followed her out.

They chatted easily during the ride to the theatre in Port Angeles. Just regular stuff and work related. Paul asking her about the renovations progress and Jo asking him about his wok.

"So, when do you want to pick out the furniture for your cafe?" Paul asked.

" How much time does it usually take you to fulfil an order? Quil said the work would be completed in about two weeks so, I could come and have a look accordingly." Jo suggested.

"Hmm..well it depends really. If we already have the stuff in our warehouse then no time at all but if it's custom made it can take anywhere between a week to a month depending on the design." Paul said

"OK. Maybe I should come and have a look. I have a couple of things in mind but nothing specific."

"Sure. Let me know when you'd like to come and we'll leave together."

"Thanks "Jo said smiling.

"You're most welcome."

They reached the theater and parked. Paul already had an idea about the movie he wanted them to watch. It was a light comedy nothing heavy. He didn't want to watch any romantic movies in case it made her feel awkward or any action because not everybody liked them but comedy's were good. He wanted her to feel comfortable. She had kind of been on the edge after moving in. He hoped tonight would change that and maybe he'd get lucky. He'd never force her but seduction never hurt anyone.

Paul asked her what she wanted to snack on. Jo wasn't big on it and just asked for a small popcorn.

Paul returned with the hugest tub he could get. He'd already gotten the tickets and they went in search of their seats. The theater wasn't even partially full and they got good seats.

Paul actually waited for a good ten minutes before he moved he arm rest back and pulled her to him. Jo didn't resist either. It felt good to be close to him. It was addicting the calmness she felt when she was near him.

It confused her though. Mike had to work for a good three weeks just to get her to agree to a date. And here she was with Paul, who she had almost tricked into sleeping with her the first time she laid eyes on him and he had been so loving and tender and now she was out on a date with him.

But he wasn't anything like Michael, she concluded. At least he had been upfront about what he had expected from the girls he'd been with. He hadn't pulled a fast one on them or sweet talked and made false promises them to sleep with them. One had to respect that. The girls knew exactly what they were getting into and still went ahead. Not that anyone could actually refuse them. All the Natives were a girl's hot, wet dreams in action.

They sat close throughout the movie and relaxed and enjoyed their company as the movie was funny and they had a good laugh. Jo felt her body vibrate with Paul's laugh since she was pressed against him and he refused to let her go. She decided she liked it. His face looked even more handsome when he was laughing. Paul caught her staring and looked at her. She blushed but couldn't move her gaze away. Paul smiled softly and kissed her on the temple before pulling her to his side and tucking her head beneath his chin. Jo sighed contentedly as she moved her arm and draped it across his abdomen. Unknowingly, she rubbed his abs and his muscles tensed under her touch. She stopped but Paul growled lowly into her ear, "don't stop". Satisfied that she wasn't making him uncomfortable she resumed caressing his abs through his flimsy t-shirt and he closed his eyes to enjoy her touch.

If there was heaven on earth, it was right here in her arms for him.
