Kie's POV:

I woke up and threw up in the middle of the night. My mom got all worried that I was pregnant so I told her I'd take a test just for her to shut up and not worry about it. She bought the test for me and I went in the bathroom and took it.

I came out with a timer set and when it went off I looked at the timer and said, "Postive....."

The looks on their faces were priceless. I then continued and said, "that I'm not pregnant"

I showed the the negative test and I could see JJ relax. I didn't realize how tense he was. My mom just smiled and said, "Good, at least we know it's just food poisoning now"

"What if I was pregnant? What would you have done?" I asked out of curiosity

"We would've dealt with it and figured it out... I don't care that the two of you are sleeping together. You're teenagers, it's going to happen but just please be careful because you don't want to be teen parents"

"We are, mom" I said as she left me and JJ home alone

"You okay?" I asked him

"Yeah, you just scared the shit out of me"

"Sorry, I couldn't resist... Would you have been mad if it was positive?"

"No, I mean I don't want kids anytime soon but I wouldn't have been mad" He said hugging me

I spent the rest of the day with JJ on the couch watching movies. I felt a lot better as the day went on. It's my own fault for eating so much raw cookie dough.

Sarah texted me and asked how things were over here. I told her JJ has been at my house for the hurricane and she wanted all the details. She informed me that she just checked on John B and said all was good at the Chateau.

JJ left before my parents got home as he didn't want to overstay his welcome. I wish he didn't have to leave, but I understood why he was. I went to my room and washed my sheets and then took a shower. My parents came home and my mom asked where JJ was.

"He went back home"

"It's about time" My dad said

"Dad, can you please stop? He was only here for two days"

"Mike, it was nice to get to know our daughters boyfriend better. He's a good young man"

I went upstairs because I didn't want to get into it right now. I worked tomorrow night and I was closing with William, Taylor, and Thomas.

JJ's POV:

I got a text from Mike asking if I could come in and close tonight as Thomas called in sick. I said yes and so was happy to go because Kie would be there. I showed up to work and Taylor said, "Aww, the lovebirds are finally working together"

"Don't let Mike hear you say that" I warned

"Of course, he hates you.. You're a pogue. What did you expect?"

"Just stop talking about it" I said walking away and getting right to work

I only talked to Kie like I would anyone else. I saw her go into the office and sit down. I walked by and asked, "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, my stomach is kinda hurting" She said curling up in the comfy chair

"Do you need me to get you anything?"

"No, I just feel nauseated. I felt fine last night before bed and all morning but not I feel like I might puke" She said worried

"Do you want to go in the bathroom? Or stay here?"

"I don't know" She said crying

I sat on the side of the chair and lightly rubbed her back. I pulled her hair back into a low pony tail so it was out of her face in case she did throw up. She told me she had a few fries and a piece of shrimp. It was probably too much for stomach to handle right now. She needed bland foods, not seafood and grease.

Mike walked into the office and he said, "I knew letting you two work together was a mistake. JJ, get your ass back out there. Kiara, you too!"

"She's not feeling good, give her a minute"  I defended my girlfriend

Her hands were all sweaty and calmly. She looked super pale. I told Mike about the food poisoning from the cookie dough and how she ate here and now feels like this. He looked more concerned and told Kie to go home. She just sat there unable to move as she was so nauseous.

"Can you drop her off at home?" Mike asked

"Yeah" I said shocked he was going to let me

I grabbed Kie's stuff and walked her out to her car. She got in the passenger seat and I put her seat belt on for her and I drove to her house. I walked her inside and Anna was there. I explained the situation and Anna thanked me for bringing her home.

I drove back to work and headed inside and told Mike that his wife was home taking care of Kiara. I jumped right back into my job and Taylor said, "Wow, you're becoming Mike's favorite"

"Kie was sick so I brought her home" I answered

My shift ended and Mike told me to drive Kie's jeep to their house and he'd bring me back to get my bike. I didn't go inside, I got right in Mike's truck and he said, "I'm sorry for yelling at you when I walked in the office..."

"I get it, you don't like me and it looked like we were just hanging out... I was just trying to help her out. I hate seeing her sick or in pain"

"So do I... Thank you for bringing her home. Have a goodnight, JJ"

"Thank you, Mr. Carrera" I said getting out of his truck and getting on my bike to head home

I got home and went to bed. I hope Kie was feeling better this weekend as we had our double date with John B and Sarah. It got delayed because of the hurricane. Kie stayed home sick from work the next day but after that she was back to normal. I hated seeing her so sick.
