"JJ, JJ, JJ PUT ME DOWN"
"In the water?", the Maybank menace replies sarcastically, pretending to drop me in the icy cold marsh water. Well, the water is freezing compared to the sweltering heatwave the Outer Banks is going through. My bikini clad body nearly collided with the dreaded body of water after a slight sway on the boat, the surfer boy's feet balancing on the very edge of the boat, me bridal style in his muscular arms. A shriek left my lips before gently being placed back on to one of the boats seats. "Do you really think I would drop you princess? Never." Sometimes being just friends with JJ never seemed to cut it, I wanted more of him, all of him. Of course I'd be demanding a miracle if I were to ask him out because this is the very man who sleeps with any girl in fact, every girl. JJ Maybank did always remind me how gorgeous I looked or how surprised he was that I didn't bring back any boys. The reason being that the only boy I want is already right in front of me. I've thought of two ways of how confessing my needs for him would go. Possibility one could be that it would only boost his ego impossibly higher and it would result in a mere hook-up. And that would be the sad end to my mere crush, that's not what I wanted at all so I had to take initiative. My fear set him into a fit of giggles, I caught his glimmering eyes and thought I would tell him how I feel there and then if it weren't for John B, everyone's favourite big brother. Pushing the blond into the sharp waters was his deserved fate after the teasing he took too much pleasure in.
"I'm gonna burn if I stay out any longer guys we should be heading back", hours felt like minutes with the pogues and I wouldn't have it any other way.
"Yeah I need to be back in time for Peterkin's interrogation", John B voices, we've all been so tense whenever he gets checked up on because one wrong move and he's put into a useless foster system. The whole journey back I felt eyes boring into the back of my head so I looked to my side to see none other than the culprit, Jj.
"Stay at the chateau tonight, I feel as if you're never around"
"Stop acting as if I haven't spent the last week strictly with you guys", the only response I was met with was a simple shrug and frown.
"I'll make it fun don't you worry angel", a wink topped off the smart remark and I expected nothing less. What seemed a thoughtless action to him set off fireworks in my belly and I hid my smile poorly but was that a bad thing?
