reckless love

Chapter four

Maia pov
Laying in bed that night I couldn't help but think about all the girls that were hanging around Rafe right after he just kissed me. But I knew I had no right to be mad because he's single and he can do what he wants. I think JJ tried to kiss me at the end of the night but I pretended like I didn't notice because I didn't want to hurt his feelings. JJ is an amazing friend and could potentially turn into something more but just not right now. I knew it would be unfair to use JJ as a distraction to get my mind off of Rafe even if I wanted to.

I woke up to the beautiful smell of salt water that I missed so deeply. I made my way down to the kitchen and realized my parents had a note on the counter for me.

Dear Maia,
We had to make an emergency trip to Europe for a business deal be back in a few weeks. The movers will be in an out this week to finish up the house and Katrina the interior designer will be around too. She has a key so don't worry about being home to meet her I already discussed with her how I wanted the house if you would like help with your room she said she is happy to help! Rose said you are more then welcome to stay in one of their guest rooms if you do not want to be alone. Love you sweetie be back in a few weeks!! Love mom and dad

Couldn't say I was surprised to find this note the first morning waking up in the new house. This is exactly why I wanted to come back to Obx. I got my coffee mug out and started brewing a pot. I decided I wanted avocado and egg toast for breakfast. As I was getting everything together I heard a knock at my door. I opened the door to the pogues dressed in beach attire. "Hey guys" I said confused as they walked right past me into my house.

   "So this is where you live you kook" John B said taking a look around.

  "I'm still offended you didn't show up at the château yesterday to announce your arrival." Pope said shaming me.

  "I'm sorry guys I meant to but then I heard about the party and I knew you guys would be there and I would see you. Plus I didn't get to obx until like dinner time." I said defunding my self to 3 angry boys and one pissed off Kei.

  "Yeah I was willing to overlook it last night because I was shit faced but now you know what I am pissed." Kei said throwing her hands up I could tell she was kidding from her choice of words.

  "Come on guys let's hug it out." John B said opening his arms big as we all went in for a group hug.

  "If you didn't know we started a new tradition here in the outer banks." Jj said smirking at me.

"And what is that may I ask?" I said crossing my arms.

"Every wednesday we have a beach day." Kei said.

"So pack your shit and let's get moving" Pope said motioning towards the door.

"Can I make you guys breakfast first?" I said gesturing towards the kitchen.

"Yes you may" JJ said going to claim a seat at the island. After I finished up breakfast I hurried upstairs and changed into my bikini. I grabbed my beach bag and threw in some sunscreen and tanning oil. As I was walking out I realized I almost forgot my sunglasses. I grabbed them quick and made my way down the stairs. Once I got down to the living room I saw something I never thought I would see in my lifetime. The kooks and pogues all in one place at one time not screaming at each other. Topper and Sarah were standing on one side of the living room and the pogues on the other.

  "Sarah what are you doing here?" I asked putting my stuff down on the couch and walking over to everyone.

"You didn't answer my text about going to the beach so we just decided to show up." She said crossing her arms.
