Joe sat down in the empty seat next to Ben, Ben was busy eating his toast to notice Joe sitting there next to him.
Joe: “So Ben, last night I found a little friend in my bed.”
Ben: “Oh you found Howard my bear.”
Joe: “Yea did you know that bear belonged to your dad.”
Ben: “Yea I know, dad told me when he gave it to me. He also told me it was yours once.”
Joe: “Oh yea, mum made me give it to him because she believe I was getting too big for it.”
Ben: “Cool, also mum was looking for your special pancakes.”
Joe: “Really?” (Glances at Demi)
Demi: “What; Ben got blueberry pancakes yesterday and well I wanted them today.”
Joe: “Right, well you just have to ask and I will make them anytime you want them.” (Smile at Demi)
Everyone was looking at how close Demi and Joe had gotten in 2 days. Vanessa noticed it first and thought they looked like a real family with Ben. She smiled at thought it was cute how Joe acted with Ben and Demi. He seemed to be the only one that could make Ben talk more. After breakfast Joe got started on the pool house with his father Eddie, Ben was out the backyard watching the men get to work on the pool house. Joe noticed Ben sitting in one of the deck chairs watching; he put his tools down and walked over to where Ben was sitting.
Joe: “Hey buddy, what’s up?”
Ben: “Nothing; just bored.”
Joe: “Oh would you like to come help us.”
Ben: “What are you doing exactly?” (Curious)
Joe: “We are making sure everything works and doing some painting in the rooms. Do you want to come and check it out?”
Ben: “Sure can I help paint?” (Hopeful)
Joe: “Sure let’s go.”
Joe and Ben walked into the pool house; it was empty and very messy with stuff everywhere. A while little Demi went looking for Ben and found him in one of the rooms painting with Joe.
Demi: “Ben, what are you doing?”
Ben: “Hi Mum; I’m helping Joe and Taylor paint.”
Demi: “Oh are they ok with you helping them.”
Taylor: “It’s fine; you must be Demi from the other night.”
Demi: “Yea that’s me.” (Smiles)
Taylor: “I’m Taylor, Selena’s boyfriend.”
Demi: “Ok, so Joe are you fine with Ben helping you guys paint.”
Joe: “Yea of course Dems.” (Smiles at her)
Demi: “Ok.” (Smiles back)
Demi went inside to the house and saw Selena and Vanessa talking about a party they wanted to have. Demi’s phone then started to ring, it was Alex her brother calling from the Army training base.
Demi: “Hello.”
Alex: “Hey Dems; how are you?”
Demi: “Oh my god Alex. How are you and I’m good.”
Alex: “I’m good; how’s my nephew doing?”
Demi: “A lot better now, did you want to talk to him.”
Alex: “Sure.”
Demi: “Ok, hold on and I’ll just get him.”
Demi went outside to get Ben so Alex could talk to him, she walked into the pool house and saw Joe and Ben painting more than the wall. Joe only had his jeans and a single top on, he took his shirt off earlier because it was a very hot day. Demi was checking him out just the way he working was hot to her; she thought. Taylor noticed Demi checking Joe out that he walked over to her and whispered in her ear.
Taylor: “Do you like what you see?”
Demi jumped and looked beside her and saw Taylor smirking at her.
Demi: “What the hell Taylor, I wasn’t looking at Joe.”
Taylor: “Don’t you mean checking him out.” (Laughs at her)
Demi: “Shut up, I came to get Ben there’s someone on the phone that wants to talk to him.”
Taylor: “Oh ok, but I did just catch you checking Joe out a moment ago.”
Demi: “Whatever.”
Taylor went back to working on putting the rest of the cupboards in the kitchen with Eddie. Joe noticed Demi standing there and stopped painting the wall.
Joe: “What’s up Dems?”
Demi: “Oh um I need Ben.”
Ben: “Why Mum?”
Demi: “Because someone wants to say hi.”
Ben: “Who?”
Demi: “Alex.”
Ben: “Sweet.” (Grabs the phone and walks away)
Joe: "So who's Alex?"
Demi: "Wow I never would have picked you to be the jealous type."
Joe: "I'm not jealous, just curious."
Demi: "Well if you must know Alex is my brother."
Joe: "Oh umm...cool."
Demi: (Giggles)
Joe: “What’s so funny?”
Demi: “You.” (Runs off to find Ben) (Still laughing)
Joe went after her, but she was too quick for him that she was now inside with Selena and Vanessa. Joe Came in and put his arms around Demi’s waist from behind and pulled her out of the kitchen.
Joe: “Excuse us.”
Demi: “Where are you taking me?”
Joe: “You will see.”
