𝒊𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒄𝒉 a kook princess and
a dirty pogue have history but both
ignored the feelings and stayed
in their safe little bubble...
THE MORNING SUN fluttered over Kennedy's bare skin, causing a warm feeling to buzz over her. The small kook felt nothing but peace as she shifted in a sleepy haze. The white sheet covering her body draped softly over the boy next to her as well. For a moment, from the summer air floating through the window to the boy in a deep sleep next to her, her mind traveled back to last summer.
Quiet morning conversations as her mother and brother shuffled outside her door, completely oblivious to the pogue in her bed. It felt like a dream. For Kennedy, it always felt too perfect and turned out she was right. They were never meant to stay in their safe summer bubble, it always had an end to it, whether she liked it or not. But the realization that this time, things were completely changed.
Her vast bedroom no longer existed. She was no longer sneaking JJ out of her house while her family had gone to do their own things. She no longer had to hide who she loved, she no longer had to hide him. Everyone knew now, there was no secret affair, no sneaking around, everything was broadcasted to the world.
Kennedy would admit it, there were moments, aspects of the sneaking around that she would miss. She loved the soft moments that were only meant for them. She couldn't help the mischievous thrill that ran through her skin when the stolen glances and hidden smiles were sent to the other in public. JJ was always hers, and she never had to share and that was something that she missed.
Things were different, that was clear, but it's what she needed. She didn't need any more sneaking around, she needed someone to love her in the daylight. She needed something more permanent and that was precisely what this was. Finally, someone could give her what she needed, they cared about her, not her worth and image, but what she wanted and needed.
The gentle grip of the boy's calloused hand on her back as he held her tight made her almost forget the events of last night. The solace moment gave her the break she needed. All her energy had been drained the moment she stepped into her sister's house.
Midsummers. JJ getting jumped by Rafe. Kissing JJ in front of all the kooks. John B getting pushed by Topper. All of it plagued her body and mind. But being right here, at this moment, that didn't matter. All she cared about was the feeling that pounded in her heart by the act of JJ's body being close to hers. His skin warm against hers gave her the relief she so desperately craved.
