JJ Maybank Imagines

The Choice Pt3

The next day:

You are on your front porch watching JJ as he is working on the boat. You admire his muscles. You snap out of your gaze as Kie shows up with two drinks in her hand. "Hey girl." JJ says to Kie. "I made you somethin." Kie says handing him the drink. He kisses her lips. You see this and walk back into your house. JJ turns around after Kie leaves and sees you walking back into your house.

A couple hours later you run out of your house to greet your boyfriend Ryan. JJ watches from afar.

You and Ryan ended up going to his parents house to play golf. "Is this how you hold it, honey?" you ask Ryan. "Yes, sweetie. You got it." Ryan says. "Okay, here it goes." you say getting ready to swing the gold club. You swing it perfectly. "What in the world." Mr.Mitchel says. Ryan laughs. The ball goes right in the hole. "That's my girl." Ryan says.

Mr.Mitchel lays money on the table. "I do believe we've been hustled." he says. "Speak for yourself. I knew she was holding back 'cause...look at her. She's got that look." Mrs.Mitchel says. "Okay, I'll come clean. I've actually been playing since I was 9." you say. Mrs.Mitchel laughs as Mr.Mitchel stares in disbelief. "I told you." Mrs.Mitchel says. "We had three holes on the property where I grew up with a water hazard." you say. "With a water hazard, see?" Mr.Mitchel says. "Gracious." Mrs.Mitchel says. "I got kind of good." you say laughing as you take a sip of your drink. "Oh, hey. Hey, hey, hey." Mr.Mitchel says looking at his watch. "Don't you have a flight to catch, doctor." Mr.Mitchel says to Ryan. "Can't somebody else go supervise the Atlanta opening?" Mrs.Mitchel ask. "What would you suggest, Maryanne? After all, our name is on the door." Mr.Mitchel says to Mrs.Mitchel. "I just have to go shake a few hands. Make sure the ship is sailing straight. Be back in a few weeks." Ryan says. "I know." Mrs.Mitchel says. "You better stay away from all those pretty interns, hear?" you say to Ryan. "You remember that one back in Charleston that couldn't keep her hands off of you?" you say to Ryan referring to yourself. "Sure do. I'm gonna marry her one day." Ryan says to you. "Oh. Oh, really?" you say to him. "Well, who knows? Two or three years, maybe Y/N and Ryan will be opening that Savannah facility together." Mr.Mitchel says. "I should get going." Ryan says. "Oh. Look at the time." you say trying to get out of the conversation. "See, I knew that would do it." Mr.Mitchel says laughing.

Meanwhile with JJ he's at the Wreck. A lady hands him a beer and he tells her thank you. He sits down with Sarah. "Thanks." She says taking the beer. "Yeah." JJ tells her. "So, seems like you and Kie are picking up right where you left off, huh?" Sarah says. "Don't make a thing out of it." JJ says to Sarah. "I'm not making a thing out of it." Sarah tells him. "You are." JJ says. "I'm just saying, seems like maybe she's sticking around this time." Sarah says. JJ "mmm." in agreement. "I'm sure you know she rented a place on the mainland, but did you know she planted herself a vegetable garden?" Sarah tells JJ. "Did she now?" JJ ask. "Ordered cable." Sarah says taking a sip of her beer. "Premium cable, that means something." Sarah tells him. "Ooh." JJ says. "It means she can eat a salad and watch Animal Planet." JJ says taking a bite of his food. "Mm-hmm." Sarah chuckles. "Why are you busting my chops about this? I feel like if anybody's be into it, it'd be you." JJ ask Sarah. "Hey, I love Kie. If y'all ended up together, I'd be totally happy." Sarah says. "But?" JJ ask her. Sarah laughs. "I know you." Sarah says. "What's that supposed to mean?" JJ ask. "Im gonna tell you what Ward told me about opportunity. He said opportunity is missed by most people because it's dress up in run down clothes and it looks like a lot like work." Sarah tells him. "Well Ward is long gone and the opportunities he took...weren't the right ones." JJ says. "I'm just saying maybe instead of run down clothes, your opportunity is dressed up in ratty sweatpants and no makeup showing up at your house at 10pm and lives about 100 feet from your back door." Sarah tells JJ describing you. "But it is work, and my brother does not like it when things don't come easy." Sarah says sipping her beer. "How dare you? I ought to squirt you in the eye with this lemon." JJ says. Sarah picks up a bottle of hot sauce. "Drop it." Sarah says. "Don't." JJ says. "No. You won't." Sarah says. JJ squeezes the lemon at Sarah.
