Enemies To Lovers

Chapter 4

Just like 5-10 minutes later, I came out from my room, I was still wearing my hoodie, since I didn't have a choice, and low waist jeans shorts, I had put my hair up in a ponytail and just brushed my teeth  and taken a little perfume, Pope stared at me like I had two heads. "What?" I mumbled in a tired voice. "Nothing..." Pope said and started walking down the stairs. I knew he was just confused by my hoodie. As we went outside I saw my dad, I avoided eye contact with him. "Hey! Heyward! Make sure my little Daph is okay, got it?" My dad said. "Like you care..." I mumbled, quiet enough for no one to hear me. "You got it, Nicholas" Pope said with a smile. Pope and I walked over to the Chateau, it didn't take more than about five minutes. When we got there, Kiara, JJ and John B were already in the boat. "A hoodie!? Trying to cover up your kook princess body, hm?" JJ teased as I got in the boat. I pushed him out of my way, not hard enough to hurt him or anything, and flipped him off. "No but seriously, what's with the hoodie, Rogers?" John B said. "Shut up guys! Maybe she's just cold! Or just feels like wearing something comfortable!" Kiara said as I sat next to her and rested my head on her shoulder, I just closed my eyes, I was still so tired. "Cold? Rogers, take the goddamn hoodie off, it's making me uncomfortable just watching you wear it" JJ said and started pulling my hoodie off. I quickly took his hands off me. "You want me to sit here in a bra?" I said and looked up at him. I was actually wearing a bikini under the hoodie and the shorts, but I knew that my arms were still red, and I didn't want the others to see my scars from last night. "If it's a push up bra-" John B interrupted JJ by giving his shoulder a hard nudge. "What! It was a joke! And who wouldn't want to see a girl in a push up bra, I mean!?" JJ said. I just rolled my eyes as I went back to resting my head on Kiara's shoulder. She sighed. "Disgusting, J"

About two hours passed and the others were drinking beer and eating some fries that Kiara brought from The Wreck. "Daph, are you really sure you're not hungry or thirsty?" John B said. I nodded. "Are you sure you don't want us to stop by my place so that you can borrow a bikini?" Kiara asked me. "I'm sure, I don't feel like swimming today anyway" I said and smiled. "Well.. can I at least let you borrow the t-shirt I'm wearing? So that you won't have to sit in that hoodie? You're sweating, Daph" Kiara said. "Thanks Kie, but it's fine" I smiled. "Okay, suit yourself, I'm gonna swim" Kiara said and took off her t-shirt and jeans shorts, she was wearing a bikini under her clothes. She jumped down in the water, John B and Pope did the same thing. I curled up, knees touching my chest. JJ and I were the only one's left in the boat, while John B, Kiara and Pope were having fun in the water, JJ and I just sat there, all quiet until he broke the silence. "Why aren't you wearing one of those crop tops that you usually wear? I didn't even know you had hoodies" he looked confused. "I just didn't feel like wearing a crop top" I said. "So you took a hoodie? On a boat day? Living in the OBX?" He asked and raised one of his eyebrows. "Mhm" I answered quietly. "Why aren't you in the water with the others?" I added. "Why aren't you in the water with the others?" He asked me the same thing. "I don't have a bikini, your turn" I said. "I don't have swimming trunks on" He said. I just nodded. JJ just looked at my hoodie. Why? I thought to myself. He walked up to me, I saw that he hesitated. He dragged me up and grabbed my arm. "JJ! Stop it!" I whisper yelled. He pulled up my sleeve, his eyes widened. He took my other arm and did the same thing. He just looked at me. Our ocean blue eyes met. "Daphne..." He said quietly as he gently pulled down my sleeves again, not breaking the eye contact. "Is this why you're wearing that hoodie?" He added. I just nodded and looked down to my feet. "I'm not much of a hugger... but it seems like you need one" he said as he slowly pulled me into a hug, I was able to see the way he hesitated at first, it was a very, very loose hug, I hugged him back tightly, I rested my head on his chest because of our height difference. He was like 6'1 feet and I was like 5'4 feet. He was a little surprised by how tight I hugged him, but he knew I needed one, so he just let me hug him, I felt the tears in my eyes, he gently patted my back as he gave me that loose hug.
