today was when the five friends planned to go out and use the drone they stole to find the merchant wreck. but it was also the one day bentleys mom had forced her to go to her new boutique to clean up after the hurricane since it had almost ruined it, just before her grand opening.

bentley had done everything to get out of it, but her mom wouldn't budge. neither would her grandma who would let her do anything.

her and JJ currently sat on the counter of the store, JJ was chilling out with them for a little while before the crew picked him up to go.

"can you two actually do some work? please? you're lucky i only gave you the easy jobs i could've made you go out and clean those tall ass windows" her mom rolled her eyes at the two

"go get the boxes from our back and start stocking everything up. or do something in the cafe. i don't care, do something" her mom said

not long after she had bought the boutique, she had bought the store right next store, owning two buildings on the street. the two were seperated obviously but conjoined out back to have a huge storage space for both.

"come with me out back to grab some boxes, i need your muscles" bentley said, dragging him behind her.

she pulled him into the storage room, closing and locking the door behind them.

"oh okay. i like this bentley" he smirked as she pushed him against one of the shelves.

she smiled before pulling him into a kiss, him twisting them around and lighting her up to sit on the shelf, his hands wandering her whole lower body, squeezing her ass making her squeal

"heyyy don't get too cheeky" she smiled, laughing and placing her forehead on his.

as he leaned in to kiss her again, the loud repeated banging on the door made them pull apart and bentley jump down.

"grab that box, make it look like we're actually doing something" she whispered

she opened the door, seeing jaxson looking between the two

"oh no. you two are so not obvious" he rolled his eyes sarcastically

"stop fake working slash fucking back here please- your friends are here and their annoying mom because they're just being nosey and not helping" jax said, and her and JJ walked out.

"surprise surprise. quick fuck in the closet hmm?" john b asked after seeing the two walk out and the disgusted look on jaxsons face.

"shut up dude. let's go" JJ said

"bye b. have fun" john b winked

"come on dude let's go" JJ rolled his eyes, turning back to hug bentley before he left.

"thanks for making me have to do this with blue balls, baby" he whispered in her ear, kissing her and winking as he walked off as she laughed

•••

it was later in the afternoon and the weather outside had completely switched up. she just hoped the mission her friends were doing out on the boat went to plan.

"rose! sarah! what a surprise! how are ya darlin'?" bentley heard her mother's voice from the front of the store.

the cameron's were becoming close friends with bentleys family, she didn't know if it was a good or bad thing by what her friends had said about them.

she watched as her mom and rose hug, sarah standing next to them awkwardly. then jaxson walked upto her. of fucking course.

"i was just looking for your beautiful daughter. we had a question for her" bentley heard from where she sat behind the counter on the swirly receptionist chair.

she saw the two talk but couldn't catch what the said until they were heading over.

"oh my gosh yes! of course, she's over here" her mom said.

"no shes no. she's busy. go away and come back another day. like the freaking rain" she grunted but the two moms heard.

"hey darlin. so your mom and i were thinking.." rose said, bentley looking up at them with her eyebrows furrowed.

"how about you go to the midsummers with rafe? it would be so super cute! he doesn't have a date and you don't either. it's perfect" her mom now said.

"hmm. you're funny. no thanks, i'm planning on going with kie" she said. she was extra sarcastic and sassy today and no one knew why.

"but come on baby!! you and rafe are friends, right? it would only be as friends anyway, it's not like we're forcing y'all to date and get married!" her mom laughed.

"that won't be happening either so don't get any freaking ideas mom" she rolled her eyes.

"i'm going with kie. and i've got a good thing with JJ and you know that mom. he doesn't like rafe and i don't wanna hurt his feelings by going with him" bentley simply said.

"it's one night bentley. it's not gonna ruin anything with you and your boyfriend. and he's a busboy anyway, he'll be there and you'll still see him, right?! just think about it at least?" rose asked

"fine. i'll think about it but don't get your hopes up" she sighed

"perfect! just let me know by friday so i can get you guys matching corsages!!" rose said

"rose, it's not prom?!" bentley said

"yeah no i know. i'm only kidding" she smiled before walking off, then sarah walked over.

"hey bentley" she smiled.

"my mom and rose want me to go to midsummers with rafe. they're planning it all like it's prom or some shit and i haven't even agreed yet. i don't even know if i'm going to"bentley rolled her eyes.

"rose and my dad only want rafe to get a date so it looks good on them. since i'm going with topper even though we're going through some weird shit right now- he still wants everything perfect family and shit, you know? i hate it" she groaned.

"honestly just go with him then hang out with me the whole time because i know for a fact that kelce and  their other fucked up buddies are gonna snatch up rafe and topper and they'll probably end up leaving anyway" she shrugged

"should i really do it?" she asked, then she remembered that he literally slapped her and beat the shit out of her bestfriend just the day before, making her answer override as No again.

"maybe. i'm not sure. rafe is just a dickhead but if you know how to deal with him it's not a big deal. anyways i gotta go, it was nice talking to you" she smiled and walked back over to where rose stood next to the door.

this is bullshit. and she didn't know what she was gonna do.
