Broken promises ~ JJ Maybank ~ Sequel to Promises

Chapter ten ~ Field trip

~Charleston~

Windows down, hair blowing in the wind. Radio-Where'd all the time go?, we took a relaxing drive along the bridge taking us through to Charleston.

This is the first time in months I've felt relaxed, maybe it was because I've finally slept for more than two hours.

Or maybe it's because little did I know, my living bestfriend was cruising on his boat just bellow us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jj: these kooks make our kooks look like pogues.

We pull up to Charleston Manor and wow it's a mansion.

We got out the car and make our way in. We got through the security gates and pope knocked on the door.

P: you think that was enough?

Jj: It echoed through the whole house so they definitely had it.

Jj said sarcastically.

Ki: maybe nobody's home.

K: I mean we are a day late

And just as Pope was about it knock again a middle aged man opened the door.

?: you must be Pope

P: um, are you mr limbrey?

?: ms limbrey was expecting you yesterday

P: oh...oh I'm sorry my car broke down on the way here

Jj: carburettor blew up in the middle of nowheresville. Sorry about that.

?: yeah she was uh really upset you didn't show up.

Ki: We tried to call but there was no number on the invitation.

K: Got here as fast as we could

?: She also expected you to come alone

P: I mean these are my friends to help me find the Royal matching too. I-

?: The instructions were explicit. Your friends can stay outside

Jj: were kind of a package deal-

P: Jj it's okay I got this. I'll be good

Ki: yeah, we'll be right here.

P: keep the car running

Pope whispers

Ki: yep

Kiara replies as they hold each others hand. Is this really how it felt for Pope and Kiara last summer with me and JJ? I guess it was different cause we were a secret but I miss being able to be so close with someone. Correction, I miss being able to be so close with him.

Pope followers the man inside and they disappear into the humongous house.

We walked back to the car while we waited for Pope. Kiara rushes back to the car as I slowly walk behind yet Jj stops to tie his shoe. I carry on walking until Jj catches up.

Jj: so last night, erm it was-

K: cold

Jj: what?

K: I was cold, that's the reason i came close to you last night.

J: 'coughs awkwardly' yeah cold.

I nodded and smiled then turned around to walk back. God why does he care, he's the one that broke up with me.

Jj: it was nice though.

Jj called out making me turn to face him.

Jj: it was just like old times.
