Love is a weird thing.

Most have it.

Some want it.

Some despise it.

And some never experience it.

They say that love is blind.
And that you don't choose who you fall in love with.
Which is probably why Cinderella got her happy ever after with her Prince Charming.

But this isn't Cinderella.

This is the local supermarket on Kildare island.

Sure they had pumpkins and mice there.

But no fancy ball gowns.

Or magic castles.

Or magical fairy godmothers.

Oh how JJ could use one right now.

Cause he was lost and pope wasn't that good at showing the way.

——————————————————————————

"i don't know dude, have you like-Now this is gonna sound weird but maybe try and talk to her yea?"

Pope said with a play full tone and a teasing smile while acting a little startled at his own sentence.

JJ rolled his eyes and ran his hands through his hair for the 8th time that day.

A typical sign that the boy in fact was nervous and stressed.

"That's not even funny! I'm like freaking out right now- I mean what if I say some shit that will make her uncomfortable or like grossed out or-"

JJ rambled on while staring at the worn out floor with scratches and marks from all of the years of work that has been permanently in graved there.

"Oh my god are you hearing yourself?"
Pope interrupted his friends sentence with a huff and while pointing his finger at him.

The blonde boy finally let his eyes go off the floor and looked up at his friend in front of him with slightly confused and worried eyes.

"what?"
He questions now a little curious as well.

"Is the JJ Maybank afraid to talk to a girl?"
The dark haired boy teased his friend with a small smile daring to play out on his face.

"What? Uhm noo. I'm just afraid to fuck it up you know?- besides this isn't just some touron who I met on a kegger that I see once and then will never have to worry about again. This is Y/N."

JJ defended himself with. His ego could really get in the way sometimes.

"Exactly this is Y/N! y'all grew up together? You've known her your entire life and have talked to her like 40 million times before? Why is it all of a sudden scary now? It's ONE surfing session?? You literally did that 2 weeks ago and you didn't exactly freak out then?"

Yea well 2 weeks ago JJ hadn't realized yet that he was is in love with his best friend so it was kinda a different vibe then I guess you could say-

Pope chuckled slightly and picked up a wooden box filled with basil while turning around to put it on the shelf behind him.

And for once, JJ was speechless. He had nothing to say. Whatever answer he thought about responding with results in Pope finding out or the store burning down, and right now fire sorta seems like a nice idea.
