You're the Right Person (So it's the Right Time)

Chapter 10

John B: knock knock

Sarah: who's there

John B: come downstairs and you'll see

Sarah runs downstairs, and unlocks her front door to see John B standing there in a black t-shirt, fluffy hair, a goofy grin on his face, and flowers in his hands.

"John B!" She says taking the flowers and setting them down, just so she can throw her arms around this boy.

She hugs him around his neck as his hands hug around her waist, lifting her up off the ground. They stay like this for a moment or two before her feet are back on the ground.

"Okay let's go find a vase for these flowers." Sarah says, and as John B always does, and always will, he follows her.

They reach the laundry room where the flower vases are and Sarah picks out a very simple one. She fills it with water and takes the flowers, cuts the stems, and placed them in the vase.

John B just watches in awe at how carefully she's doing this. It's something so simple, something she's probably done a million times, but he didn't know there really was a science to this. But also because everything this girl does leaves his star struck. Every new thing he learns about her, no matter how small, is like discovering something unknown to the world for thousands of years. He imagines it's the closest thing to how the people who discovered King Tut felt, that he will ever experience.

"So," he starts, leaning against the counter, "JJ wanted us to hang out and go boating today, Kie is out of town with her parents and he misses me, and also maybe he enjoyed hanging out with you. But don't tell him I told you"

"Oh JJ. And of course I'd love to hang out with him today. Is there a plan or anything? Or just doing nothing but nothing with JJ there so something will happen?"

"Probably the latter but who knows, his brain is going so many places he's got to have an idea."

They find themselves back at John B's house sitting on the couch waiting for JJ. Sarah is laying on her back, head propped up on the arm of the couch, and her knees up. John B is sitting next to where she is laying. As always she's wearing one of his hoodies and she keeps noticing John B sneak glances from his phone to look at her. Mostly because she keeps peering up from her book to look at him.

"What are you typing away over there?" She asks

"Nothing" he says kind of drawn out and in a goofy tone that makes her smile.

"Uh huh" she says sarcastically unconvinced

After a beat, John B says "so hypothetically, for no reason at all, what are some of your favorite songs?"

She snickers but nevertheless replies, "hmm... Perfect by Ed Sheeran is such a cute song, Delicate by Taylor Swift of course, hmm How You Get The Girl is another favorite Taylor song, and I don't know, maybe OO! Falling by Chase Atlantic"

"Okay thank you for answering my totally hypothetical question."

"Of course, also you know you have my Spotify right? Meaning you have access to all my playlists and everything?"

"Yes. But I wanted to ask you and hear you tell me about them."

She covers her face with her book to hide the blush that's creeping up on her. But John B sees right through this, and quickly puts his phone aside so he can steal the book from in front of her face.

"John B!" She giggles

"Mhm?" he answers back, holding the book out of reach, making her sit up as she tries to reach the book.
