Rule breaker •• John B

Death Compass

    Rowan and John B were finally alone. After everyone left, and after Rowan argued her way with Pope about coming home, he eventually gave up and left without her.
Not long after JJ and Kie. Then, it was finally just the two of them.
Outside, the bright moon casted a soft hue of light. The cicadas hummed in the dark and frogs coursed in between, creating a wildlife melody that was extremely comforting to Rowan's ears.

They were at their spot. Sharing a hammock, they swung lightly with the same breeze that brushed past the leaves of the tree holding them.  The feeling that swarms her heart is one of normality. Finally, after the craziness, calmness took its rightful spot.

Rowan watched as John B fiddled with with compass they found in the wreck. It was a mystery how it ended it where it was.

She felt for John B. She really did. This one thing that belonged to his supposed dead father somehow washed up and landed right bin his son's hands. He was taking it as a sign he was still out there, trying desperately to let his only son know that despite what everyone was telling him and forcing him to believe, he was really okay.

"We should tell them soon." John B's voice brought her back to her reality. She shifted lightly in her position, causing the hammock to sway, she watched him as he kept opening and closing the compass.

"Really?" She asked, "why?" Though, she had reason to believe she knew the answer.

"They're getting suspicious. I can tell Pope and Kie think there's something going on."

Rowan sighed. She could too. And her last minute random display of affection when John B was about to scuba into the water didn't help either.

"Yeah. I guess you're right. When?"

John B opened the compass again. Tracing his fingers lightly over the clock. When he closed it, he put it in his pocket and turned to face her.

"Soon." Is all he says. She smiles and nods in agreement. And before she could even open her mouth to add something, John B's lips collide with hers. Causing each of them to completely forget about everything.

    "DCS!  I know your in there!" The loud voice and bang caused Rowan to wake up with a jolt. She turned to look at John B who slept peacefully beside her.
"John B. Wake up." She whispers, moving his arm that's wrapped around her waist, he doesn't budge at all.

When there's another bang, only then did he wake up. He's quite and confused before he turns to on his side. About to get up, he lets out a startled gasp that is almost as loud as Rowan's as someone jumps in front of the glass and laughs. And immediately, Rowan knows its JJ.

"You two look comfy." The blonde laughs again, "man, you guys should've seen your faces."

"I'm so going to kill you for that." Rowan mumbles.

"You have to catch me first." JJ says, disappearing from the window.

"I need coffee." Rowan says. John B stands from the couch and holds out his hand to her, she smiles and takes it and the too head out and towards the Twinkie. The plan for today set in motion.

"After we talk to Ms Lana."

"Fine." Rowan grumbled.

"So, are you two a thing or what? Cuz it's like, recently, you two have been sending  fuck me eyes towards each other thinking no one notices."  Rowan and John B share a look between each other as JJ speaks.
