The next morning comes way too soon and Jo snuggles up to Dart, who is still asleep. Dart pulls her close and mumbles. Jo's phone rings and she turns on her side to see who it is. She sees it's Marcello and picks up quickly. "Morning Bella! I need you to come over to my atelier and bring Maria with you. I need you to try something on. See you later!" Jo smiles wide and texts Maria. Maria replies immediately. 

I'll be there in an hour.
Told Jake already, so no worrying about work. 

Jo gets up and does a little dance. Dart chuckles softly and Jo looks at him. He is watching her with sleepy eyes and asks: "What are you so excited about, love?" 

Jo smiles at him and says: "I can't tell you. It's top secret." Dart pouts and Jo crawls onto the bed to suck on his bottom lip. 

Dart pulls her close and says: "I'll just hold you tight, until you tell me about it." 

Jo says: "Please don't. Maria will be here in an hour. And I need to be ready. It's a wedding secret though. So if you let me go now, you will not be disappointed on our wedding day." 

Dart kisses her and says: "Like that is even possible. I'm marrying the woman of my dreams, there's nothing to disappoint me on that day." 

Jo smiles and kisses him softly. He loosens his grip on her and Jo sits up. "I love you Dart." She gets out of bed and goes over to the bathroom for a quick shower. She puts her hair in a high ponytail and keeps her make-up light, knowing she will be trying on her wedding dress. She walks back into the bedroom, where Dart is sitting up in bed. Jo puts on white underwear and starts with a tight pair of black, ripped jeans. She wears an evil kitty shirt on top and finishes the look with her own boots. 

Dart smiles and says: "You look so young with your hair like that. I can just imagine you as a teenager. That outfit looks like something you would have worn back then too." 

Jo nods and says: "You're right. This was basically my daily outfit. Shirt, tight jeans and comfy boots." 

Dart looks at his phone and says: "Maria is bringing toast and coffee for you." 

Jo smiles and says: "Even now, you make sure I eat breakfast." 

Dart nods and says: "I want to take care of you Jo. It makes me happy." Jo sits down on the edge of the bed and strokes his cheek. 

"Thank you. You're way better at it than I am." 

Dart shakes his head and says: "Want me to go into the cafe and ask people there how good you are at taking care of them?" Jo laughs and shakes her head. He says: "You take care of everyone over there, so let me take care of you when you're not at work." They kiss and snuggle, until Jo gets a text from Maria telling her to come outside. Jo gets up and wishes Dart a great day.

She skips out towards Maria, who is behind the wheel of Jake's pickup. Jo gets in and leans over to kiss Maria on the cheek. She gasps and says: "Oh god. I forgot to take a picture of this outfit!"

 Maria laughs and says: "Don't worry about it. We'll do it at Marcello's in front of all those mirrors." Jo smiles and Maria points at the coffee and the toast. Jo takes a bite out of the toast and sips her coffee. Maria starts the car and they drive over to Marcello's atelier. 

Marcello is already waiting for them and opens the door happily. Jo walks in and freezes on the spot. In the middle of the room is a mannequin with the most amazing dress on it. She puts a hand over her mouth and stares at it in shock. Marcello puts his arm around her and says: "That good huh?" 

Jo nods and Maria says: "Marcello that is gorgeous! I've never seen anything like it!" 

Marcello smiles and says: "Come on Jo. Let's see how it looks on you." Jo tries to snap out of it, but moves forward in slow motion. Maria smiles at her and encourages her. Marcello helps her into dress and his face lights up when he looks at her. "Belissima! You make the dress even prettier! You look amazing!" 

Jo stares at herself in the mirror and feels like she is looking at someone else. She looks at her cleavage, a V-shape going down to her stomach with a bit of see-through fabric to hold it together. Marcello told her to take her bra off and she found out he created some kind of bra inside the dress. Her boobs look perfect in it. She touches the beading on the top and whispers: "Wow!" The skirt has a lot of layers, but the fabric is light. The front is short and the back is longer, but short enough to keep it out of the sand. 

Marcello kneels down in front of her, to help her into the barefoot sandals. He gets up and ties a light blue ribbon around her waist. He winks at her in the mirror and steps out of the dressing room. Jo turns around and steps out, curious to know what Maria thinks. The second Maria sees her, she starts crying. "Oh my god, Jo! You are a vision. The dress is even more beautiful with you in it!" 

Jo lets out a nervous laugh and says softly: "Marcello said the same thing." Marcello guides her over to a wall with a lot of mirrors on it. And Jo turns and twists in front of the mirror to take a good look at it all. She turns to Maria and says: "This is not a dream, is it? I am really getting married to Dart in this dress. Oh God." Marcello rushes over with a chair and Jo sits down with her face in her hands, sobbing uncontrollably. 

Maria wraps her arms around her and says: "And then to think you were this shy, broken girl when you walked into my boutique for the first time. And now you've modeled, been practically nude in a magazine or two and you get to marry the guy all the girls want." 

Marcello hands Jo the box of tissues and says: "I googled that man of yours. You did well girl!" Jo giggles, imagining what Marcello found online. She tries to clean up her make-up with a tissue and blows her nose. She gets up again and stares into the mirror. 

She smiles at herself and says: "I look amazing in this dress. I don't think I've ever looked this good... And it's starting to feel real now." 

Marcello says: "I didn't give you plastic surgery or something, you have always looked good. I just have a talent to show off the female body in it's most positive light."

 Jo's voice is a bit broken when she speaks. "I don't even know how to thank you for this dress. This is truly the dress of my dreams." 

Marcello shakes his head and says: "There's no need to thank me. I loved designing this unique dress for you. And I love seeing it on you." 

Maria says: "And I can tell you now. This dress is a gift from Jake and me. Jake talked to your mum and knows she won't be able to afford it. So Jake said it was his job as a big brother." 

Jo starts crying again and says: "And I just stopped crying!" 

Maria hugs her tight and says: "Get all those tears out now. So you can keep your make-up pretty on your wedding day." Once Jo calms down again, Maria helps her fix her make-up and takes a few pictures of her. Jo sends a picture to her mom and to Claire. She tells them it's top secret, but that she wants to share it with them. They both react quickly and very excited. Jo smiles at her phone as she reads the compliments. 

Marcello asks: "I will be sending everything to you Maria?" 

 Maria says: "Yes, I will write down the address for you. I will keep the dress and the sandals in my office. To make sure Jake and Dart don't see it." 

Jo smiles and says: "Thank you Maria. For everything!" Marcello helps her out of the dress and Jo puts her own clothes back on. And Maria takes a few pictures of Jo in the outfit from the boutique. Jo posts it on social media and tags the boutique, the web shop and the cafe. She types a message to go with it. 

Not in the cafe yet.
Had to try something on in front of these mirrors.
But I'll be there soon!
XO 

They both hug Marcello and walk out of the atelier all excited. Maria takes Jo to a coffeehouse and they order coffee and a pastry. Maria asks: "Do you want to marry out of the cafe? Or do you have other plans?" 

Jo looks at her and says: "I actually haven't thought of that at all. I shouldn't sleep at home, right?" 

Maria says: "Well, it's your wedding, you can do whatever you want. But just know that we would love to have you over at the cafe." 

Jo thinks for a while as she sips her coffee and says: "I would love to sleep in my old bed, the night before the wedding. It will be a full circle moment. It's where my new life started after all. I can't even imagine what would have happened if Jake didn't offer me that bed to sleep in." 

Maria smiles softly at her and says: "Me either. Jake would still be his grumpy, depressed self without you in his life. You healed that man and opened his heart. I wouldn't be with him now, if it wasn't for you." Maria's eyes get all watery and Jo puts her hand on top of Maria's. 

"I'm glad you two are together Maria. And it's good to know that I helped Jake in return. I can't imagine my life without him in it. Or you in it for that matter." 

Maria smiles at her and says: "Right back at you, girl. I love you!" 

Jo smiles and says: "I love you too! Thank you for introducing me to Marcello. The dress is more than I could ever dream of." They pay the bill and get back to the car. On their way back to the cafe, happily singing along with the radio.

They walk into the cafe and Jake comes over to them to hug them both at the same time. "My favorite girls! How did it go?" 

Maria smiles at him and says: "You're going to die when you see her." 

Jo kisses Jake on the cheek and says: "Thank you for the dress, big brother. And if it's alright with you, I'd love to sleep here the night before the wedding." 

Jake beams and hugs her tight. "You're welcome for the dress. It's what a good big brother should do. And I would also love to have you here for one more night, for old times sake." 

Shaun yells from the bar: "What are you all hugging for? Shouldn't you get to work already?" Jake glares at him and hugs Jo again, sticking his tongue out at Shaun. Jo laughs and walks over to Shaun. 

"Good morning Shaun! Feeling left out?" 

Shaun puts his hands up and says: "Nope. Not hugging you. I have a girlfriend now." 

Jo smiles wide and says: "Good for you. Now back to work!" She laughs and walks into the kitchen with Jake. Maria grabs her things and kisses Jake. 

"I'm off to open the boutique. I'll see you two later." 

"Bye Maria! Have a good day!" Jo looks at her phone and sees the post from Nikki on her social media. She is wearing a cute balloon skirt and a spaghetti top with the text: My magic is in my lips. Jo giggles and shows Jake. 

Jake says: "Oh my. We might have a jealous guy on our hands if she is wearing that today." 

Jo walks back into the cafe and sees a familiar face come in. She runs up to him and hugs him. "Well my morning just got a whole lot better. Hello my muse. I've missed you!" 

Jo smiles wide and says: "Hey Dirk! I have missed you too. How have you been?" 

Dirk smiles and says: "Get me a coffee and I will tell you all about it!" 

Jake walks in and welcomes Dirk with a handshake. "Hey man! Good to see you!" Jake introduces Shaun to Dirk. 

The young man stares at Dirk and asks: "You took those pictures of Jo?" 

Dirk grins and says: "I did! And a lot more pictures that never made it to print." He winks at Shaun and turns to Jo, when she puts a cup of coffee in front of him. Dirk says: "Come over to my side Jo. Let's take a selfie and make my followers jealous!" 

Jo laughs and says: "Alright then, here I come." She smiles wide and Dirk takes the picture.

 "Thank you Jo. Let's post this pic."

Jo goes over to a guest with his hand up to see what he needs. He points at the newspaper he is holding and asks: "Is this you?" Jo looks at the advertisement for Diana Designs, where she is wearing the Greek style dress. 

Jo nods and says: "Yes, that's me." 

The guy looks her over from head to toe and asks: "And you are the one engaged to Dart?" 

Jo raises her eyebrows and says: "Yes, that would be me too. And who are you?" 

The guy seems shocked that she has no idea who he is and takes a few seconds before answering. "I'm a colleague of Dart. Well, I still work in the business, if you know what I mean." 

Jo says: "Ah, I get it. So what brings you here?" 

The guy silently stares at her again and asks: "You don't care about my job?" 

Jo smiles and says: "No. I bet most people you meet do, but I don't. If you're kind to me, I'll be kind to you." Jo holds her hand out and the guy shakes it. 

Jo introduces herself and the guy says: "I'm Tyler. And I got very curious about the woman that changed Dart so much. I didn't think a normal life was possible for guys like us." 

Jo pretends to be appalled and says: "Normal? My life with Dart is extraordinary!" She winks at Tyler and he laughs. 

"He is working at a gym around here, right?" 

Jo nods and says: "I can show you where it is, if you want to go over there to see him." 

Tyler still looks a bit taken aback at her and nods. "Yeah, I would like to go see him. I hope he feels the same way." 

Jo smiles and says: "There's only one way to find out." She walks out with him and explains to him how to get to the gym. 

Tyler smiles at her and says: "You sure are something. I don't think I've ever met someone like you." 

Jo shrugs and says: "I have to go back to work. Give Dart my love when you see him." She waves at him and walks back inside, feeling people stare at her.

Nikki quickly comes up to her and asks: "You know Tyler?" 

Jo looks a bit confused and says: "Well I just met him to be honest. Apparently he knows Dart." 

Nikki's eyes go wide and she mumbles: "That's what they meant." 

Jo says: "Could you be a little more clearer? I don't get what is going on?" 

Nikki leans over to Jo and whispers: "Tyler is an adult actor, if you know what I mean." 

Jo nods and says: "Yeah, I know. So?" 

Nikki says: "So that means that Dart..." She blushes a deep red. 

Jo chuckles and says: "Yes, google Dart and you are bound to find some interesting video's."

 Nikki becomes completely flustered and says: "I need a glass of water." She runs into the kitchen and Jo goes over to the bar. 

Shaun asks: "What's up with her?" 

Jo says: "I think she just realized what Dart used to do for a living. She was shocked that I was talking to Tyler. She apparently did know who he was, I had no clue." 

Shaun asks: "You didn't know who he was?" 

Jo shrugs and says: "I don't have any time or any need to watch stuff like that. So how should I know? Besides, I don't care." 

Dirk says: "You're the only person I know, who treats everyone the same way." 

Jake says: "I'll go to Nikki and see what's up."

Jo sits down next to Dirk and asks him about her mom. Dirk tells her they like each other, but that a relationship is not what they are looking for. Jo nods and says: "Too bad, I wouldn't mind having you for a stepdad. But I'm glad you get along well." Dirk nods with a smile on his lips and they talk about the wedding for a while. 

But when the first lunch guests arrive, she gets up to take their orders. She walks into the kitchen carefully and sees Jake and Nikki laugh together. She says: "First orders are up!" 

She is about to turn around when Nikki says: "I'm sorry Jo." 

Jo turns around and asks: "For what exactly?" 

Nikki blushes and says: "For the way I acted. I felt so stupid for not realizing that Dart... Anyway... I don't know what to say now." 

Jo smiles and says: "Come here Nikki and give me a hug. And let's just forget about it." 

Nikki hugs Jo and says: "I could learn a thing or two from you. I would not have been able to talk to Tyler. And Dart... Now that I know." 

Jo laughs and says: "Well for one, I didn't know who Tyler was. But I have met so many mean people in my lifetime, that I learned to judge people by the way they treat me. If you live by that, it doesn't matter how much money they have, what they do or what the color of their skin is. And it helps with being a bitch to people who deserve it. I refuse to be kind to mean people."

 Nikki says: "But how do you feel about Dart's past, Jo?" 

Jo looks her in the eyes and says: "I would be lying if I said it didn't bother me a bit at first. But we can't redo our past, so that's all it is, something that's behind you. And I also judge my Mister Perfect on how he treats me. And honestly, he is amazing in every single way." 

Nikki giggles and says: "He sure is in love with you. That's obvious." Jake hands them some plates of food and they walk out to serve it together. They both smile wide and the guests compliment them on their outfits. They walk back to the bar and Shaun is staring at Nikki's chest. 

Jo turns to Nikki and looks at her with a naughty smile. "I'm tempted to have a taste of that magic." 

Nikki looks up at her and licks her lips. "Hmm, that would be interesting Jo." They turn to Shaun and see all the color has drained from his face as he stares at them. Jo winks at Nikki and they move closer to each other. Dirk jumps up and grabs his phone to take a picture. Nikki tilts her head with a slight smile, Jo moving closer, staring into her eyes. Their lips touch slightly and Dirk takes a few pictures. It doesn't take long for the two girls to burst out in laughter. 

Shaun says: "Now I'm the one that needs a glass of water... or a cold shower." Dirk chuckles and posts the picture on social media. Jo re-posts it, tagging the boutique, the web shop, the cafe and Nikki. The day goes by fast, with a lot of joking around and laughing together, even though it's extremely busy. Jake fiddles with his phone and connects it to the speaker. 'I Kissed a Girl' plays through the cafe and Jo and Nikki dance and sing along, clearing tables. Shaun rubs his neck and glares at Jake. 

Jake chuckles and says: "Just let the girls have some fun already. It's usually guys flirting with them." A group of girls walk in and sing along to the song too. Jo carries dishes into the kitchen, still singing. Ronnell is preparing things for dinner in there and dances with her for a few seconds, smiling wide. 

Jo walks back into the cafe and Nikki calls her over to the group of girls. "Jo, meet some of my friends. We go to school together." Jo introduces herself and they ask if it's okay to take a picture with her. Jo poses with them and talks with them for a bit, before wiping the tables clean and putting everything in order, before the first dinner guests come over.

The girls sit down at a table and Nikki asks Jake if she can have dinner with them. Jake nods and asks: "Do you want Shaun to join you?" 

Nikki shakes her head slightly and says: "Could Jo join us?" 

Jo looks a bit surprised and asks: "Me? Why?" 

Nikki looks at the floor and says: "The picture we took... They want to get to know you... They are not into boys..." 

Jo says: "Don't stress about it Nikki, it's fine. I'll join you when the food is prepared. What are you guys having?" 

Nikki perks up and says: "Jo's favorite of course!" Jo laughs and walks into the kitchen to tell Ronnell. She walks out again and sits down at the bar, where Shaun puts a glass of water in front of her. "Thank you, Shaun." She looks into his eyes and asks: "Are you okay?" 

Shaun blushes slightly and says: "Is it that obvious?" 

Jo smiles softly and says: "No. I'm just perceptive. So tell me." 

Shaun nods and says: "I'm worried. I mean most of Nikki's friends are gay. And then that kiss..."

 Jo takes a sip from her water and says: "That kiss was nothing. It was to tease you, that's all it was. It wasn't meant to make you insecure. And I honestly don't think Nikki is gay or bi. Gay people are usually more tolerant though. They are the fun people to hang around with." 

Shaun gets lost in thought and Dirk says: "Is there something you can't give advice on, Jo?" 

Jo turns to him and laughs: "Oh Dirk, you know me. I'm an opinionated bitch. I always have some advice, on everything!" Dirk laughs loud and blows her a kiss as she jumps off the stool to serve the first pizza's. She brings the pizza's over to the girls and they all stare at her. Jo smiles and says: "These are the first two. I will bring out two more and then I'll sit down with you girls for a while." The girls cheer and Jo shakes her head as she walks away. She walks into the kitchen to get the other two pizza's from Ronnell and thanks him before she walks out.

She puts the two pizza's down and asks the girls what they want to drink. Jo walks off to fill a tray with their drinks and adds a water for herself. She walks back and serves all the drinks, before sitting down herself. Nikki smiles at her and says: "All of a sudden they are shy. They all are in love with you, you know!" All the girls blush and Jo laughs. 

"Oh really now? No need to be shy though. I'm pretty friendly when I want to be." 

The girls giggle and one of them asks: "Could we ask you some questions?" 

Jo nods and says: "Sure, ask away. Be gutsy, I don't mind." 

One of the girls takes a deep breath and asks: "Have you ever kissed a girl before?" 

Jo looks at Nikki and asks: "Before Nikki, you mean?" The girl nods and Jo says: "Yes. More than once." The girls all go silent and Jo uses the moment to grab a slice of pizza and takes a bite. 

Nikki asks: "For real?" 

Jo nods and chews on her pizza. She takes a sip of her water and then asks: "That's it? No more questions?" 

Nikki asks: "Are you bi? Do you like girls romantically?" 

Jo says: "Now that's a good question. I am not bi. I really like men sexually. But I fall for a person, not a gender. I have had feelings for a girl when I was younger. And when you're young, girls just kiss way better." The girls laugh and agree with her. Jo eats her slice of pizza and sees the cafe fill up behind her. "Any more questions? Because it's starting to get busy here and I want to give Nikki more time to talk to you guys." 

Nikki smiles at her and one of the girls asks: "So you have nothing against lesbians?" 

Jo looks at her and says: "No sweetie, as long as you are kind to others, I don't care who you love." She hears them mumble something about her being Dutch as she walks off to take some orders and help people to their table. She feels her phone vibrate in her pocket and looks at it, while walking towards the kitchen with the orders. It's a message from Dart: a picture of him and Tyler at the gym, both smiling. 

Thanks for sending him over.
Haven't seen him in a long time.
But what the hell Jo!
You kissed Nikki?!
I was just trying to tell Tyler how sweet and normal you are. 

Jo:
Serves you right for telling him I am normal!
It all started with Nikki's shirt.
And we were just winding Shaun up.
Now I have a bunch of lesbian fans in here though.
You know girls do it better! :P 

She laughs as she puts her phone away and Jake walks into the kitchen behind her. He wraps his arm around her and says: "Sister! You sure know how to bring people together. Are you having dinner with Dart tonight or do I have to feed you more?" 

Jo hugs him and says: "I think Dart will come over here soon. I ate a slice of pizza though, so I will be okay for a bit longer." 

 Jake looks into her eyes and says: "Do me a favor then and sit down with Dirk for a bit. Just take a beat." 

Jo nods and says: "Okay, boss!" 

Jake chuckles and says: "This wasn't the boss speaking. The big brother in me gets worried."Jo kisses his cheek and walks out into the cafe, to sit down next to Dirk. 

Dirk turns to her and says: "Do you have a few minutes? I need to ask you something." Jo nods and Shaun pours her another glass of water, thanking her for her advice. Jo sips her water and looks Dirk in the eye. He starts talking, telling her about a book about him. He will talk about his career in it and show off the most important and his favorite pictures. And the publisher wants to add some interviews with people he photographed in it. 

"Wow Dirk. That sounds amazing. But why do you need to talk to me about it?" 

Dirk says: "I need to talk about the book and about something else too. But let's start with the book. I want pictures of you and Dart in it. But I also want to name you as my muse in the book. You gave my photographer's heart a new boost. We have chemistry when you're in front of my camera and it shows on the pictures. And they want an interview with you in it." 

Jo looks shocked and says: "What? I can not be that important in your career. You've been doing this for years, without knowing me. I don't get it." 

Dirk looks deep into her eyes and explains to her that the campaign for Tom Tailor was his hail Mary. No one was hiring him. The fact that Dart was a friend, persuaded Tom to give him a chance. "And then Dart did the whole rooftop thing and you became part of the campaign. And the minute I saw you, I had to get you in front of my camera. I'm not sure I can explain it properly, but you saved me."

Jo says: "I'm starting to feel very uncomfortable about everyone seeing me as some kind of savior. But if you want my help, you got it. You're more than just a friend, you can always count on me. It's also weird how the entire world keeps prolonging this modeling career I never wanted." 

Dirk chuckles and says: "You're gorgeous Jo and different from all the run of the mill girls out there. Probably because you've been through hell and back and that gives you depth. Something that others can see when they look at your pictures. But are sure you want to do this?" Jo gets up and hugs him. "Anything for you Dirk, let me know what you need from me and when. I would love to get married first though, now that my dress is all done." 

She turns around, knowing Dart is right behind her. He smiles at her and kisses her softly. "Hello love. Did you just say your dress is done?" 

Jo nods and wraps her arms around him, kissing him again, before saying: "Yes. So now we can start planning for real." 

Dart stares into her eyes and says: "Awesome! We can do it tomorrow, right?" 

Jo laughs and says: "Sure, without our moms there. And without everyone else from Europe. I'm positive they will all kill us, but whatever you want handsome." 

Dart chuckles and says: "Yeah, we won't be alive long enough to enjoy being married." Jo sees Shaun walk by to get more food from the kitchen to serve out and grabs his arm. He looks at her and Jo asks: "Have you eaten yet? And has Jake?" 

Shaun shakes his head and says: "Jake is eating with Maria later, but I'm starving." 

Jo says: "Go on then. Eat something! I'm sure Ronnell has something yummy for you to eat. I'll cover for you." 

Shaun asks reluctantly: "Are you sure?" 

Jo puts her hands on her hips and says: "You've seen me angry before. Go already!" She pushes him into the kitchen and follows him, to take some orders out. She serves the food with a smile and talks to all the guests. She walks over to Nikki and her friends to clear the table and Nikki gets up to help her. 

"I'm sorry Jo. I didn't realize it was this late. I have to get back to work!" 

Jo smiles and says: "It's okay. I just sent Shaun to the kitchen to eat. He deserved a break too." Nikki nods and smiles softly, thinking of him. 

Jo sees it and says: "If you rinse the dirty dishes, I'll shove them through the hatch." Nikki smiles and runs off to the kitchen. Jo opens the hatch and pushes dirty dishes through. When she turns around, the group of girls comes over to pay for their pizza's and thank Jo for joining them earlier. "You're welcome girls. Please come back again! And remember, girls do it better!" They all laugh as they walk out of the cafe. Jo winks at Dart and wipes down some tables, putting the chairs back in the right place. 

She walks back to the bar and Dart grabs her, pulling her close. "Aren't you done working yet?" 

Jo snuggles up to Dart and says: "I will be soon. And I'm starting to get hungry. But Shaun needed to eat something too. He covered for me a few times today, for example while I was talking to my favorite photographer." 

Dart kisses her and says: "Okay. Getting hungry myself. Would you be okay with having dinner with three men?" Jo gives him a questioning look and Dart says: "Dirk of course, but I want to invite Tyler out for dinner too." 

A wicked grin appears on Jo's lips and she says: "We better go to a busy, public place. I would love to shock some more people. Tyler coming here, even made Nikki all flustered." Dart shakes his head, laughing. "I'll go and see if Shaun is ready to work again and then I'll go with you guys." Jo walks in on Shaun and Nikki kissing. She smiles and clears her throat. Shaun looks up at her with a smirk and Jo says: "Well there's nothing to worry about I see." 

Ronnell turns around and says: "Yes there is! Get out of my kitchen already! All that kissing in here!" Jo laughs and walks out with Nikki and Shaun. Nikki stops in her tracks when she sees Tyler at the bar. Shaun pulls her close to him and seems a bit threatened. 

Jo walks up to Jake and says: "I'm off to eat with those three handsome men. I did enough for today." 

Jake hugs her and says: "I agree, sis. You go and shake up this town, showing up with them." Jo laughs and says goodbye to Shaun and Nikki, as Dart gets up and holds his hand out to her.

 "Let's go, love. We're all hungry."

They go to a sushi restaurant and sit down in a booth. Jo is sitting between Dart and Tyler and stares back at people with a cheeky smile. Tyler says: "I was already impressed by you, but you seem to be enjoying this." 

Dirk says: "She is totally not the kind and sweet girl she seems to be. There's a strong rebel inside. I love that about her." 

Dart smiles and says: "Yeah. Jo loves shaking things up. She never does what people expect of her. She is herself at all times. And I obviously love that too." 

Tyler says: "I think I need to take a selfie with you, Jo. If you're alright with it." 

Jo moves closer to him and says: "I'm fine with it." She smiles wide and Tyler lifts up his phone, winking at the camera. He posts it on social media with the text: Dinner with this gorgeous woman. I love her! 

He sticks his tongue out at Dart and Dart says: "What the hell did you do? You look way too happy!" Dart looks at his phone and says: "Damn Tyler. They are going to run with it." 

Tyler chuckles and says: "Let them. I could use it. All those damn bimbo's they keep forcing on me, I could use a shot at a girl like Jo." 

Dart pulls Jo over to him and says: "But she's mine. You can't have her." 

Jo laughs and says: "He doesn't stand a chance handsome. I only want you, you know that. My reputation might be seriously damaged after today though. Kissing a girl and having dinner with Tyler, I might be turning into one of those bimbo's." 

Dart says: "Not possible. You're too smart and kind to ever become a bimbo." 

Tyler says: "I agree. As long as people who know you, don't think that, it's all good. But you kissed a girl today?" Jo nods and doesn't say a word. Tyler's curiosity is almost killing him and Dart chuckles. 

Dart says: "Just follow her already and you'll see what she's on about." Dart nuzzles her neck and Jo closes her eyes with a smile. 

She hears the click of a camera and opens one eye and Dirk says: "Sorry. You looked so happy and relaxed that I had to take a picture. Sitting in a restaurant, between those two and you looked serene. It just intrigued me." 

Dart mumbles: "I hope this dinner is over fast." 

Jo chuckles and says: "It was your idea, remember?" 

Dart says: "Yeah, it was a stupid idea." 

Jo kisses him softly and says: "And I was just about to ask to switch places with you." Dart raises an eyebrow and Dirk smiles wide. Dart pulls her onto his lap and moves over to Tyler, before putting her down on his other side. Jo says: "Thank you, handsome."

The food arrives and Jo talks to Dirk about his book. He leans closer to her and says: "I have another thing to ask you. I was asked to do a special series for an online photography magazine. A series called 'a week in the life of...' and I was hoping you and Dart would be willing to be the first that allow me to follow you around for a week. I want to showcase your love with it, the love you have for each other, your work and friends and family. Pictures that tell a story. Just honest photo's." Jo falls silent and stares at Dirk. Dirk starts to look worried and says: "If you don't want to, just say so. It might be too much." 

Jo says: "The pictures will show me for who I really am, right? No dressing up or posing for hours. Just me and Dart in our every day lives?" Dirk nods. And Jo says: "I would love that, to be honest. If my future husband is up for it too, that is." 

Dart, who was talking to Tyler, turns to her and asks: "Up for what?" Dirk explains it all and Dart starts to smile wide as he listens to Dirk's idea. "Yeah, I would love that. To show who we are in our normal lives." 

Dirk relaxes and breathes out. "Thanks guys. I was so nervous coming here and asking you. Now I can't wait to get started. But I'm guessing your wedding would be the first thing I get to shoot." 

Tyler asks with a smile: "You're actually marrying him, Jo? Are you sure?" 

Dart punches Tyler's shoulder and says: "Shut up! I'm already scared enough that she will change her mind." 

Jo looks deep into Dart's eyes and says: "I don't change my mind easily, you know that. And I'm never letting you go, Mister Perfect." 

They kiss slowly and Tyler says: "It's getting hot in here. I think dinner is over." 

Dirk laughs and says: "Yeah, they've started on dessert already." Jo snuggles up to Dart and closes her eyes. 

Tyler says: "I'll get the bill and maybe Dirk feels like a drink. To drink to our sad single lives, while you go home for dessert." Dirk agrees to a drink and gets up. 

Dart gets up too and says: "Finally!" He holds out his hand to Jo with a happy smile and Jo puts her hand in his. She says goodbye to Dirk and Tyler, before walking out with Dart.

When they get home, Jo tries to unlock the door, but Dart hugs her from behind and licks her neck. Jo moans softly and says: "I can't get my key in the lock this way." 

Dart pushes her against the door and licks her neck again, before saying: "I don't care. Can't wait any more." His hands slide under her shirt and Jo leans back against him. He unhooks her bra and plays with her breasts. 

Jo moans and whispers: "So unfair." 

Dart grins against her neck and asks in a deep voice: "Want to turn around, love?" He puts his hands up against the door and Jo turns around quickly. Dart places his hands on her hips and stares into her eyes. Jo stares back at him and takes off her shirt and bra in one go. She wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him slow and deep. He slides his hands to her butt and lifts her up. Jo wraps her legs around him, still kissing him passionately. She leans back against the door and pulls up his shirt. 

He breaks the kiss and smiles at her, placing one hand against the door to lift his shirt up further and over his head. He puts his other hand against the door and pulls his free arm out of the sleeve, tossing his shirt to the side. Jo whispers: "Better." She pushes her chest against his and he moans slightly as she bites his lower lip. 

He takes a deep breath and says: "We should continue this inside, love. Before someone decides to come over again. Or my old neighbor comes home." Jo blushes and nods. Dart chuckles and says: "Hang on." He takes his key from his pocket, holding Jo up with one arm and opening the door with the other. Jo hangs onto him, kissing his shoulder. Dart kicks the door closed behind them and carries her to the bathroom. He sets her down on the floor and unties her boots, before taking off his own shoes. Jo kicks her boots off and pulls her jeans down. 

Dart helps her out of her panties with a crooked smile and Jo says: "You better make this fair again." She points at his pants and he takes them and his boxers off in one quick move. They start the shower and step under it, kissing passionately and touching each other feverishly. Dart lifts her up again and Jo gasps when her back touches the cold tiles on the wall. Dart uses her shock to move his hips towards hers and her eyes go wide for a second, before grinning at him. They find their rhythm and Jo bites his shoulder, hanging onto him for dear life. 

Dart whispers in her ear: "Look at me, love. I need to see those beautiful eyes." Jo lifts her head and looks into his eyes, moaning loudly. He smiles and stares into her eyes, picking up the pace, moaning himself. Jo looses herself in a sea of feelings and bites her lip, scratching his back. Dart moans loud and shakes all over. 

He takes a minute to come to his senses, before placing a hand against the wall and lowering his head to kiss Jo's neck. Jo lets her legs slide down and leans against the wall, looking up at him with a vague smile. His eyes are still dark from desire and Jo puts a hand on his chest, feeling his fast heartbeat under her fingers. He kisses her slowly and Jo runs a hand through his hair, still holding her other hand on his chest. 

They eventually end up in bed, cuddling and kissing, until they fall asleep.
