"Ow." JJ flinched at the touch of the rubbing alcohol touching his cut. "Sorry." I apologized. "Kelsey," JJ started. "Hm?" I hummed, still focused on his cut.
"Kelsey." JJ grabbed my face to make me look at him in his eyes. "What?" I said in a whisper. "Thank you." He smiled. "You're welcome." I said, returning the smile.
I started patting the alcohol onto another one of his cuts. "Ow, okay Kelsey." He lightly grabbed my wrist and pushed it away from his face. "Just put the bandaids on." "You get punched in the face 100 times, but rubbing alcohol hurts you?" I joked.
"Yes Kelsey. Yes it does."
He was still sat in the chair and I was in front of him. Our faces were pretty close together.
"God I want to kiss you right now." I whispered. "You just read my mind." JJ chuckled before softly placing his lips onto mine.
"How many kisses was that now?" JJ asked. "2." I simply answered. "We should totally do that more often." He smirked.
"What about 'No Pogue on Pogue mackin'?" I asked.
"Hide it? Tell them? It's not like they're going to care, Kelsey." He stated. "John B and Pope told me they put a bet on us, and I bet you've told Kiara about the kiss."
"How do you know I told Kiara?"
"I don't know, isn't that a girl thing? Tell your girl bestie who you're kissing and stuff?" He said in more of a question.
"Yeah... wait John B and Pope made a bet on us?"
"Yup. John B bet that we're mackin' and Pope bet that we're actually following the rule." He shrugged.
"When did you make this stupid bet?" I questioned.
"Couple weeks ago, actually." JJ said casually.
"So are we going to tell JB that he's right?"
"Let's wait a while. I don't want them ruining this for us." He smiled, giving me another peck on the lips.
-
"Don't let it get in your head, bro. There are three of them and two of us." JJ says. "That's some typical kook shit."
"Hell yeah." Kiara and I agree.
"What was the thought process of using your head?" JJ asks.
"I don't know. I acted off instinct alright." Pope answered.
"Hey Pope, there's someone here to see you." Heyward said as Shoupe walked into the store.
"Evening, Officer." Pope greeted.
"I have an arrest warrant for felony destruction of property." Shoupe said.
Pope looked at JJ and I, scared.
"Hands on the counter, where I can see them." Shoupe walked by Kiara. "Young lady, out of my way."
"Whoa. Shoupe, what'd he do?" Kiara questioned.
"Take a look at the warrant."
"You're just arresting my boy?" Heyward asked.
"What are we going to do? J, he has a scholarship." I whispered.
"How much did they pay you, man?" JJ questioned Shoupe.
We were all shouting. Kiara, Heyward, JJ, and I.
Pope looked like he was going to pass out, sweating and panting.
"It wasn't him!" JJ finally yelled once we got outside to the police car. "It was me."
"JJ, no. Anything but this." I tried holding him back but he walked away from me.
