Burning (jiara)

In the morning pt 3

JJ POV

me and Kie sat down at a table and waited for her dad to bring us any leftover food they had.

"How you feelin?" I asked, playing with a salt shaker.

"Better" she smiled "you?"

"Same" I smiled and she took the salt shaker away from me "hey!"

"Your gonna break it" she laughed and put it back

"You don't trust me?" I said, giving her a hard time while slouching back in the booth

"No" she laughed "not with that"

"I see how it is" I said and looked up at her. I probably looked stupid the way I was looking at her. No, I wasn't looking. I was starring. I don't even know why I just saw her differently lately.

"What?" She asked and I snapped out of it

"What?" I said, acting casual

She gave me a look like she knew something. Like she could see straight through me. Like she knew I liked her. Well- I don't like her. I just.. anyways.

Just then, her dad came out with our food and set it on the table in front of us. I sat up and got ready to eat.

"You two enjoy" her dad said, smiling at her. He then scowled at me but I didn't really care. He was a kook, I wasn't surprised he didn't like me.

Tbh I started fuckin that shit up. It was a little cold but I didn't really care.

"Chew? Maybe?" Kie laughed and I looked up at her with a mouth full of food.

I didn't say anything since my mouth was full. I grabbed a French toast stick from my plate and held it up to her.

"No" she laughed and I swallowed my food

"Bro try it" I said, dangling it in front of her mouth "it's so good"

"Absolutely not" she laughed, keeping her mouth closed

"Ur missing out" I said and took a bite.

"I know how those are made" Kie said grossed out

I spit my food out into a napkin. Not that it actually bothered me, I just wanted to make her laugh.

She laughed and told me how they were kept in a freezer for weeks and fried in old grease. I pretended to be disgusted as she went through the process. I really didn't care. Ive eaten out of the literal trashcan before, but This made her laugh even more and I loved hearing her laugh.

"On second thought" I said pushing my plate away. "I'm not to sure if I'm hungry anymore"

She laughed and turned my plate around to where the eggs were facing me.

"Eat" she said, tilting her head

I smiled and ate the eggs off my plate. She cared.

KIES POV

i always had so much fun with JJ. I don't understand how someone could be so funny.

We finished our food and we went to leave, but my dad stopped us.

"Where are y'all going?" He asked. I could tell when he was pretending to be polite. I knew it was because of JJ

"Probably back to the chateau or surfing or something" I replied "why?"

"Kiara can I talk to you a sec?" He asked. I looked at JJ and he shrugged.

My dad took me behind the counter, away from JJ.

"Kiara, why are you here with him" he asked like he was scolding me.

"What do you mean? He's my friend" I said, annoyed.

"I dont like you hanging out with him by yourself." Mike said "what was that? Some kind of date?"

"Dad. We were literally just eating breakfast." I said.

"Where are the rest of your little hell raising friends then?"he asked

"I dunno, sleeping or something? Why are you on my case right now?" I asked, getting an attitude

"Hey! Watch the way you talk to me." My dad scolded, raising his voice.

He was pissing me off so I just rolled my eyes and started walking away

"Dad, JJs waiting on me, I have to go" I said, walking back to JJ

"Kiara!" My dad yelled, trying to get me to come back

"Come in jayj, let's go" I said, grabbing JJs wrist and leading him out the door.

"Bye Mr. C" JJ said as we walked out the door. I knew he knew what he was doing and It was kind of funny.

"Sorry about him" I apologized as we went back to my car.

"Don't be" JJ smiled and this made me smile too.

"So where we goin?" JJ asked once I started driving

"I dunno, you think they'd wanna go surfing yet?" I asked, looking over at him

"Well, we have our boards" JJ shrugged "why don't we just go with out them"

"You want to?" I asked, smiling

He shrugged like it was no big deal.

"Okay" I smiled and started driving to the beach.

Ever since we kissed last night, Things have just been different between us. Not a bad different though. The way he looks at me.. it just-  something changed.

We went to the beach and got out of my car. We got our boards and headed to the water.

"JJ" I Said, loud enough so that he could hear me through the wind. "It's actually freezing"

He looked at me and laughed

"What? You scared?" He asked, shivering a little

"We're gonna get hypothermia, JJ" I laughed

"Come on" he laughed and tapped my shoulder as he started running into the water. I couldn't let him surf alone, so I followed.

"Shit!" He gasped at the freezing cold water hitting his body.

"Oh my- god" I gasped as well.

We tried to get a few waves but it really was just too cold.

"You were right" JJ yelled across the water "can we leave?"

"Please" I laughed and we started back for the shore.

We ran back to the car, shivering. He grabbed a towel from the back of my car and wrapped it around me. Rubbing my arms to warm me up. He then got his own towel and wrapped himself up in it.

"That was a bad idea" he said, shivering as we turned the heater all the way up in my car

"You think?" I asked, sarcastically

We sat in my car for a little longer as we tried to warm up. Eventually, we headed back to the chateau to go see what everyone else was doing.
