Jo glanced at him before staring at her phone. She could feel her cheeks heating up and she hated it. It was so stupid and ugly when he cheeks and the tips of her ears tinted pink. Talking to Robert on the phone was so much easier. "You don't have to go."

"I know, but perhaps, we could use the between time to possibly talk; maybe get to know each other a bit better" Robert smiled at her

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 4:10 pm

Jo looked up at him and nodded. "That would be nice."

**solarOrigins** Wed Nov 20, 2013 4:30 pm

"Maybe I'll take you to lunch as well" robert stated warmly

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 4:32 pm

Jo nodded at him. "That would be nice."

**solarOrigins** Wed Nov 20, 2013 4:41 pm

Robert nodded in return and walked back out.

Jo's face was still pink. She looked up at Josh. "Does this mean I have a date?"

**solarOrigins** Wed Nov 20, 2013 6:49 pm

"This means you have a date" Josh repeated positively

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 6:59 pm

"I didn't think this would ever happen."

**solarOrigins** Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:06 pm

Josh laughed. "You didn't? And why not?"

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:08 pm

Jo shrugged slightly. "He's smart. And rich. And handsome. And sophisticated. He probably just sees me as a little girl. He wants a woman. Not me."

**solarOrigins** Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:20 pm

"Ah, but didn't you know Jo-jo, every straight cut man wants a naughty little girl to take home at night" Josh replied, waggling his eyebrows.

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:25 pm

Jo laughed and set her phone down. "You think this will work out?"

**solarOrigins** Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:28 pm

"so long as you take it slow and not jump his bones the first opportunity you get. Be mature about it" Josh replied with a smile

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:30 pm

"Thank you Josh. This is my last chance with him."

The front slammed shut before she could say anything more. Rhonda stumbled slightly as she made he way to the front parlor. "JEFFREY. I TOLD YOU I WAS GONNA BUST YOUR ASS THE NEXT TIME YOU SLAMMED MY DOOR. YOU'RE HALF AN HOUR LATE."

John followed Jeff in a minute later, having stopped to put his bag in Robert's car. He zipped around Jeff moodily and darted down to join the other kids.

Robert stuck his head out into the hall to look at Rhonda and Jeff.

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:41 pm

Jeff wrapped his arms around her waist to support her. "Sorry. Had a bit of a problem when leaving to get her. OW." Rhonda had smacked his chest.

"I said don't fucking slam my doors Jeffrey." She made a frustrated noise when he firmly pressed his lips against hers.

"I'm sorry, alright? I won't do it again. What do I need to do to help with dinner?"

Jo rolled her eyes from the table. "You two are the weirdest best friends to ever exist."

**solarOrigins** Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:44 pm

"dinner's nearly done" Robert replied cheerfully. "Things went smoothly without you here to burn and break things"

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:47 pm

Jeff kissed Rhonda's cheek before scooping her into his arms. "Wanna watch tv in the den. I bet one of these dumb sport ball games you like is on. And I can make you another drink."

Rhonda kissed his chin, leaving a smudge of black lipstick. "Carry me there. And you better make me a damn good drink."

**solarOrigins** Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:49 pm

"Rhonda, are you not going to finish in here?" Robert called

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:53 pm

"I'll be in there to help in a minute Robert." Jeff was taking the oldest Lalonde lady to the den.

**solarOrigins** Wed Nov 20, 2013 7:57 pm

"Only if you behave" Robert warned, ducking back into the kitchen.

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 8:02 pm

Jo put her phone down on the table. She stood and stretched. "I can help you Rob."

**solarOrigins** Wed Nov 20, 2013 8:07 pm

"If I remember your home ec grades correctly, I am going to have to decline" Robert replied gently. "Unless you want to set the table"

midnightVigilante Wed Nov 20, 2013 8:10 pm

"Rude Robert," Rhonda called to him over her shoulder. "Let the girl help."

Jo shook her head. "No, it's fine. I'll stay out of the way." She sat back down.
