IT WAS THE NEXT DAY, AND ROSIE FOUND HERSELF STARING UP AT THE CEILING of the chateau, beside her laid a sleepy jj maybank. the green eyed brunette did not go home last night considering she was took ashamed to face her father. but what she did end up doing was calling him to let him know that she was safe and that she would be staying the night with her friends at john b's chateau. on the other line, leonardo tried his best not to show how worried he was and slightly upset that he was. nova tried to remind him that rosie was a young teenager like they both once were. staying out late with friends and having sleepovers were normal, in which he then understood, the last thing he wanted to do was force her into staying home like daniella did

a hand wrapping itself around her slightly exposed waist from her shirt rising up, tugging her body closer to the one beside her. which brought her out of her many thoughts. she felt the blue eyed blond bury his head into the crook of her neck, a small smile curves on her lips as she feels him leave little pecks on the right side of her neck "good morning princess" jj mumbles with his morning raspy voice, that tend to drive rosie crazy

"good morning sleeping beauty" rosie teases, seeing as she was waiting for the blond to wake up

a snicker leaves his lips, before he pulls his head from her neck and lays down on his back, his hands placed behind his head. it was rosie's turn to turn to her right, snugging into his side "i could get used to this?" he sighs in content

rosie lifted her head slightly to look up at him with furrow brows "used to what?"

jj looks down into her green eyes, a sly grin curves onto his lips "used to this" he mumbles before wrapping his arms around her and turning them over so he was on top of her. his lips finding hers in an instant

"morning breath" rosie twists her head, so their lips could detach

"oh shut up" he mumbles as he starts to peck her cheeks

a squeal leaves her lips before she uses all her strength to roll them over, so that she was on top now. as she straddles his torso, jj sits up and wraps his arms around her waist. the two were so wrapped up into their little world, that they didn't hear a car door shut outside

the two just stared into each others eyes, so lost in this bubble of pure lust "god, you're so beautiful" he confesses as he brings his right hand up to her hair, pushing a strand behind her ear

a snicker leaves her lips as she wraps her hand around his neck "oh shut up" she uses his previous words against him before leaning in to kiss him

"yo, rosie! your dad is he-- oh shit" at the unexpected voice, the two lovebirds were startled. the two turned to see john b walking through the front door, but upon seeing the two, he was quick to step back to prevent sarah and leonardo from walking in

"what? what happened?" rosie hears leonardo speak up. causing rosie to quickly get off of jj's lap and the couch

"n-nothing" john b chuckles dryly before finally stepping inside the chateau, sarah following behind him. the two quickly making their way into the kitchen

rosie's shirt falls back down into place, as she runs her hand through her hair just as leonardo walks in while holding two paper bags that read the wreck, clearly he had gotten them breakfast "d-dad? what are you doing here?" rosie questions curiously

leonardo furrows his brows and tilts his head as he tries to read the room. his eyes flicker from jj, who was tugging his shirt down, having slept shirtless to his daughter who was clearly beyond anxious. rosie could see him giving jj the death stare, so she quickly acted "here let me help you with that" she continues as she grabs the bag he was holding with his right hand

"y-yeah, sure" he mutters, handing it to her. his steel blue eyes not leaving jj

"hey jj, why don't you go wake up pope and kiara? hm?" rosie suggests to the blue eyed blond who was being stared down by her father. jj nods and instantly scurries away into john b's room, the same room pope was sleeping in

at that, the father and daughter duo walk into the kitchen, where john b and sarah were "you know, mr--" john b was a bit confused on what to call leo, seeing as he's never formally met him

"leo, is just fine" leonardo mutters

john b sent him a nod "you didn't have to do this for us" he says, mentioning to the feast leo bought them

leonardo shrugs, just as the rest of the three pogues walk in. he sent them a head nod as greeting "i was near by and i wanted to come check in on rosie. the wreck was near by, and i figured you kids haven't eaten yet. also figured it was time i formally meet my daughter's friends" his eyes darting to jj at the mention of 'friends' "and b--"

"why don't we dig into the food" rosie quickly cuts off her father

breakfast with leonardo walker, wasn't awkward, surprisingly. instead, the seven of them found themselves laughing at their first encounter with leo. a fight behind the outdoor movie screen was not how leo planned to meet rosie's friends. the night of midsummers was also told by jj and leonardo. the two made sure to leave out the disgusting comment that rafe made about rosie. but both jj and leonardo apologized for talking bad about rafe cameron to sarah. but the brown eyed blonde, did not mind one bit, she knew her brother was trouble. rosie, on the other hand, was surprised to discover that her father actually stepped up to help jj, and equally surprised that he had landed two punches to rafe's jaw

"well, as fun as this has been, i should get going. you kids must have stuff to do" leonardo announces as he gets up to throw away his plate

that's when the pogues realized that they still had to melt down the gold and take it to the pawn shop. rosie stood up from her seat "i'll walk you out"

"it was nice to formally meet you guys" he told the pogues, he looked to jj "we'll talk soon"

rosie pushes her father slightly forwards "okay, time to go"

"bye" "bye leo!" "thanks for breakfast" were heard as they walked out the door and into the porch

"are you coming home tonight?" leo asked rosie

she shrugs "i don't know, but if anything i'll send you a message or call you"

"promise?" he raised a brow

rosie smiles softly "i promise" she holds out her pinky to him

leonardo snickers before intertwining their pinky's together, sealing the promise "alright. be careful, kiddo" he said as he brings rosie into a hug

kiara who was standing beside the door, waiting for leonardo to leave so she can go to the twinkie to grab the drawing pope did of the well. just as leonardo was walking down the steps, he remembered what he's been meaning to tell rosie "hey rosie" at the sound of her father's voice, she turned around to face him "nova made a few calls to some lawyers, and she found a way to hurry up this custody battle. it should only take a few days, and soon enough you'll be permanently living with us and you'll be going to this really great school up in figure eight"

rosie furrows her brows "but, what about my school here?" she asks

"nova looked into it, and it doesn't compare to the school in figure eight. we want you to have the best education possible. it also has all these after school clubs you can join to pass the time, imagine all the friends you can make" he encouraged, unaware that rosie didn't want to leave her school nor did she want to make new friends. the pogues are the only friends she's ever known, and their the only friends she ever needs

unable to say no, she only nods "t-that um, that sounds great" she forces out along with a forced smile

"great, i'll let nova know that you're on board" he smiles before turning to walk to his truck

a sigh leaves her lips, before she hears footsteps from behind her. upon turning around kiara is stood by the door with a disappointed look "wow. have you even bothered to tell jj that you plan to leave behind the cut and go live the vida loca in figure eight?" she questions before walking into the porch and shutting the door behind her, not wanting the rest to hear

"i don't plan to completely ditch the cut, i still want to go to school here--"

rosie tried to argue, but kiara cut her off "then why didn't you tell your dad that?"

"because for once in my life, i finally have a parent who is looking out for me. all my dad wants is what's best for me. and i don't have it in me to say no" the green eyed brunette admits. daniella blake has never looked out for rosie. hell she never even wanted to sign rosie up for school when she was little, mr. heyward had to step in and force daniella. from then on, the heyward's would make sure rosie was taken care of. from buying her school supplies to making sure she ate. so now that leonardo is in her life, and wanting to making sure she's okay, along with bringing her into his family, it's a special type of feeling. a feeling that she's never felt with daniella. she finally feels wanted and she didn't want to ruin that

"i get it, rosie i understand-

"no you don't kiara" she shook her head, cutting kiara off "you parents love you, they've loved you since they knew of your existence. meanwhile, my mother hated me. so, don't stand there and tell me you understand, because you don't" she sighs, blinking away the tears that submerged "j-just, let me handle this. i'll find a way to make this work-- i'll find a way to tell jj. just-- just stay out of it"

pulling up to the pawn shop, jj is the first to open up the backdoor and step out, gold in hand trying to wipe it down "hell of a job melting it down, dr. frankenstein" jj mutters to kiara who was in charge of melting down the gold

"like you could've done better" kiara argues as she follows behind him

"i could have done better, i took a welding class" jj bites back

"when?" kiara defensively asks the blond

"whoa, whoa. hey. sh!" john b hushes the two as he tries to step between them "chill out, okay?"

"it's easy for you to say. you're not the one that has to pawn this piece of shit off" jj argues "how did i get this job anyway?" he questions as he readjusts his backpack strap before heading towards the pawnshop door

"'cause you're the best liar" pope answers as he and the rest follow behind jj

as soon as jj pulls the door open,  the bell rings alerting the lady "afternoon, ma'am"

with furrowed brows and a skeptical look on her face the lady responds to jj "afternoon"

"i see you buy gold" jj says as the rest of the pogues come in and scatter along the store

"that's what the sign say, don't it?" a hint of attitude in her tone, making rosie roll her eyes

"well, i hope you buy a lot of it, because i'm about to blow your mind"

"i ain't got much mind left to blow, so have at it"

as jj places the melted gold on the glass counter he also places both hands against the counter, slightly leaning on it "how about them gold apples?"

the older lady begins to chuckle as she glares at jj "that ain't real" she goes to argue

with raised brows, jj speaks up immediately "that ain't real?"

the pawnbroker shakes her head "it can't be"

"feel how heavy it is" jj suggests "mm-hm. mm-hm!" he hums as the older lady tries picking it up, struggling a bit at first before managing to hold it "let's get some light on that" he continues

the pawnbroker grabs her magnifying glass and switches on the light on the glass, hovering it over the gold "spray-painted tungsten"

"spray-painted tungsten? really? okay. why don't you see how, uh, soft it is?" jj suggests

"you mind?"

"no, go for it. wow. would you look at that?" he mutters as she whacks the gold with a small hammer and nothing happens

"hold your horses. we ain't got to the acid test yet"

"ooh! the acid test" jj exclaims before he looks over to the pogues "my favorite, guys" his eyes land on rosie's, he sent her a sly wink before turning back to the pawnbroker

"well, it ain't plated, and it ain't painted"

"ma'am, i'm telling ya, this is as real as the day is long"

"it looks like somebody tried to melt it down" the pawnbroker questions

"my mom" jj answers, which the lady raises a skeptical look "she had all this jewelry laying around the house, and she thought it was best to-- to melt it down. to 'consolidate' it"

"seven pounds?" she questions as she weighed the gold "that's a lot of earrings"

"okay, to be honest, ma'am" he clears his throat before continuing "it's really hard to see my mom fall apart with alzheimer's" rosie furrows her brows at his lie. the pawnbroker also finds it hard to believe as she gives him a skeptical look

"mm-hm. give me a minute" she says before leaving the counter and heading towards a room inside the shop

"take your time, ma'am" jj mutters sadly

as the pawnbroker is out of sight jj turns around, his eyes land on his girl. he extends his hand out, motioning for her to come over. rosie of course obliged, as she placed her hand in his, jj twirled her before tugging her close to him. a small snicker leaves rosie's lips as jj places a kiss on her cheek, he brings his lips close to her ear "we're so close to getting our kook life, doll"
