4. it's all okay

jj pov:

it's been 3 days since me and kiara kissed. i can't stop thinking about it. i can't stop thinking about her. i roll over in the spare room of the chateau. i've been staying here since my dad's back. sarah and john b are in the other room. pope, cleo and kie went home, but they're coming back today. i can't wait to see kiara. i'm laying, staring at the ceiling when my phone pings. i roll one and grab it. i read the message displayed on the screen.

kie😘: hey

me: hey, you still coming today?

kie😘: yeah. i'm leaving soon

me: can't wait to see you

kie😘: you saw me like 12 hours ago

me: yeah but i wanna see you again

kie😘: that's cute. i'm leaving now

i smile as i put my phone down and get up. i leave the room to see john b and sarah on the sofa. "what you smiling at?" john b says. i shrug my shoulders. "you know.. you've been real happy since you came back in from chasing kie out in the rain.. did y'all make up?" sarah says. "or makeout" john b adds. sarah laughs. i shrug my shoulders, "both?" sarah says. "well, we didn't really make out, but we kissed" i say. "finally!" sarah says. "yes bro" john b says. i laugh. "so, are y'all official now?" sarah says. i shrug my shoulders. "we haven't spoke about it" i say. "well, midsummers is on saturday, and my dad's hosting. he said i can invite you all..." she says. "you should ask her to be your date". "maybe" i say. "i'm gonna have a shower" i say, walking into the bathroom. i have a shower and get changed, and when i go back out, pope and cleo are here. after a few minutes, kie walks inside. "hey"- she says, but is cut off by sarah grabbing her and dragging her back outside. "uh" i say. "what's that about?" pope says. i shrug my shoulders, knowing it's probably about the kiss.

kiara pov:

"sarah!" i say, as she drags me down the dock. "what are you"- i say, but i'm cut off. "you kissed jj!?" she says. i freeze. "uh.. yeah" i say. "and you didn't tell me?" she says, crossing her arms. "i didn't know if he'd want me to" i say. "well, he told me and john b this morning. i asked if y'all are official and he said y'all haven't spoke about it" she says. "we haven't" i say. "well, do you want it to be official?" she says. "i should probably be having this conversation with him instead of you" i say. "that's fair" she says, nodding. "can i go?" i say. "shut up" she says sarcastically as we begin to walk up the dock.

jj pov:

"jj kissed kie" john b says to pope and cleo. "ayyy" cleo says. "you ain't lonely anymore bro!?" pope says. "well, nothings official" i say. just then the two girls come back inside laughing. kie sits on the table as sarah sits next to john b on the sofa. "guys, midsummers is on saturday, and since my dad's hosting it you can all come" sarah says. "okay" pope says. "cleo, kie, we're going to get dresses on friday" sarah says. kie sighs. "ughhh" she says. "come on kie, it'll be fun" cleo says. "fine" kie says, rolling her eyes. "i actually have a suit in the wardrobe from last midsummers" i say. "same" john b says. "uh, cleo... would you wanna be my date?" pope says to cleo. she smiles and nods. "sarah?" john b says. she laughs and nods. everyone looks at me, except kiara, who looks down. sarah widens her eyes at me, signalling for me to ask kiara. "uhhh" i start. "kie.." i say. she looks at me. "would you wanna like, go to midsummers with me, maybe? like, even if it's just as friends that's fine"- i say, but i'm cut off as kie walks over and presses her lips to mine. the others all start laughing and cheering in the background. she pulls back and nods. "yes i'll be your date jj" she laughs. i smile. "so is that y'all official now!?" cleo says. me and kie look at each other and nod. "yesss!!" sarah gets up, hugging kiara. "none of us are single now!!" john b says and we all laugh. it's crazy to think about how long i've liked kiara, and now we're finally together.
