Forbidden Love -JJ Maybank x y/n Cameron

Chapter 45

JJ's POV:

I'm such an idiot! Why did I force her into that? She's over me. Y/n Cameron, the only girl I'll ever love, is officially finished with me. She has a boyfriend and everything.

"Why'd you stop?" she asks. Huh?

"I'm a horrible person. Y/n I am so, so sorry." I say.

"You're not a bad person. What's gotten into you?" she asks.

"You have a boyfriend. You don't have room in your busy new life to love me anymore. You've moved on and now I understand that." I say.

"So what? Topper can go suck someone's cock." she says, making us both laugh, "I love you so much. I don't understand why you'd ever doubt that." she says.

"Because you keep saying we can never happen." I say.

"Oh, you're right. I don't know why I keep saying that. You did nothing." she says.

"So you'll give me a second chance?" I ask.

"Well, I'm still technically with Topper. But after the Maldives, who knows how I'll feel." she says. That's basically y/n telling me she's giving me a second chance.

"Why'd you kiss me?" I ask.

"Because, you're right. Is Topper still gonna be my boyfriend once we get back? And I miss you and I miss that." she says, giggling.

"I missed it more than you know." I say, "Well, I should get to bed. We've got an early flight tomorrow." I say, tearing myself away from her.

Y/n's POV:

I don't want him to go. I gotta go quick though, he's probably dying to get away from me.

"JJ, wait!" I say.

"Are you ok?" he asks.

"Stay?" I ask. Even though I can't see anything, I can tell he's smiling. He doesn't say anything, but I feel him slide into bed next to me. JJ rolls over to face away from me.

"Bitch, show me your face." I say. He chuckles as he rolls over. "Hi." I whisper.

"Hi." he whispers.

"How was your day?" I ask.

"Well, this really annoying rat got my girl a fucking book for her birthday then my girl full made out with me." he says. I giggle. We lay there in comfortable silence for a minute or so.

"I've really missed you." I say. JJ doesn't say anything, he just reaches his arms out for me. I lay my head on his chest, his arms tightly wrapped around me. He gives me a gentle kiss on the top of my head.

"Me too." he whispers. We both eventually fall asleep in each other's arms, massive smiles on our faces.

...

What's the time? Fuck me in the bootyhole it's way too early to do anything, but my alarm's going off which means it's time to get up and get ready to go to the Maldives. Our flight's at 6 so we have to wake up at 4:30 which is really, way too early but you gotta do what you gotta do.

"Good morning sleepyhead." I whisper, my morning voice croaky.

"Too early." he groans.

"We've got Maldives." I whisper. JJ pulls me back down.

"Five more minutes?" he begs.

"Ok." I say. I mean, how can you not? He's so cute when he wakes up. Just wants to snuggle. I wish I could keep him forever and ever.

After another few minutes, I get up and take a warm shower. It's starting to get colder which means summer's ending. When I'm done, I throw my hair in a messy bun and put on a grey sweat set. That's a fucking mouthful. When I get back to my room, JJ's sitting on my bed, in a t-shirt and sweatpants. He smiles at me.

"You should do that more often." he says, gesturing to my lazy appearance.

"I bet you'd love that." I say.

"I would actually, thanks." he says sarcastically. I am about to grab my suitcase but JJ stops me. "How dare you try to take your own bag." he says.

"I'm very sorry, really, from the bottom of my heart." I say sarcastically.

"As you should." he says sarcastically and we giggle before making our way downstairs. As soon as Sarah sees me, she raises a brow. I signal 'No!' and grab a cup of coffee.

"You make this JB?" I ask. He nods as he takes a sip from his mug. I swear to god I chugged my coffee before exhaling dramatically.

"Maldives here we come!" Sarah squeals excitedly. We pile into the Uber and arrive at the airport. I'm going to fall asleep in a minute. The coffee gave me energy but this uber driver was playing some kind of fucking meditation music and I'm tired again.

It's ok, I'll just sleep on the plane. Me and Sarah let the boys do all the technical shit. All I care about is getting on that plane and going to the Maldives.

Eventually, our flight gets called and me and Sarah have to hold both of each other's hands so we don't explode from excitement. The only good part about being a kook is the money, so first class, obvi. We take our seats and once the plane takes off, I'm out.

...

After a long day of being on and off flights, we arrive. At the place where we need to take a boat to get to where we're staying. So close, yet so far. We pile into the boat and are taken to our final destination.

During the boat ride, I rest my head on JJ's shoulder. Sarah's jaw is practically on the floor and her eyes are basically out of their sockets. JJ puts a hand on my thigh, it's just his thing now. Hey, I'm not complaining.

After a short while, the man is telling us that we're here. We all hop on a hire bike and John B leads us to our... villa? Holy shit. We're staying in a dead ass villa.

We get to the villa and make our way upstairs and decide who gets what room. There are only two rooms and between those two rooms, there are two beds. Me and JJ are sharing a bed. No big deal, we did it last night. And a lot of times before that.

I walk into my room for the week and flop onto the bed. This is a good bed, very comfy.

..

What's going on? I must've drifted off to sleep. I look on the bedside table and see a note from JJ.

Y/n,
Me and JB are getting something ready and Sarah's asleep too. Just thought I'd let you know so you don't stress.
JJ

That's fun. As I'm sitting on my phone, it hits me. This is my first ever birthday without Mom. Woah. I've never felt so lonely before. I was so excited about going to the Maldives, that I forgot all about Mom. I miss her so much. I open my camera roll and look at all my photos and videos of her. She was so full of life. But now she's gone.

I'm sobbing uncontrollably while looking at a picture of her. It was my birthday last year. I was mad at her, but she was so proud of me. I remember telling her I hated her and she was still smiling and proud of me. It's at this moment that JJ walks in. His smile drops when he sees me and he sprints over to me.

"Y/n, what's going on?" he asks hysterically. I continue to sob. "Talk to me!" he begs. I look at him and his hands take my face. He wipes my tears.

"What's wrong my love?" he asks calmly. I take a deep breath.

"This is my first birthday without my Mom." I whisper. He pulls me into the biggest, tightest hug I've ever been given.

"I'm so sorry. It'll be ok." he says.

"How did you get through it?" I ask.

"I knew I had my friends." he says, "It does hurt though. I promise you y/n, it gets so much better." he says. I hold him tighter.

"I thought it had gotten better. Every time I'm at my peak, something crashes me down again." I say. My phone starts vibrating in my pocket, but I ignore it.

"Hey, this is going to be the best week." he says.

"Thanks JJ." I whisper into his shoulder. We sit on the bed for a while, just holding each other.
