Seven

As we arrived at Crane's house, all eyes turned towards us. "Took you long enough. Where have you been?" Sarah exclaimed, her tone impatient. I exchanged a confused glance with her before John B briefed us on the plan.
There was a clear tension between JJ and me. We hadn't spoken the whole way here, and now we were splitting up to tackle different tasks.
—————————————————————————
As we entered the house, we heard a noise upstairs. We froze until we heard footsteps descending the stairs, prompting us to bolt. Finding refuge in a nearby room, we waited, but before we could assess the situation, an elderly woman swung something through the door, sending us scrambling. Thankfully, the basement was nearby, and we made a swift retreat downstairs.

"We need to get out of here!" Kie urged, catching everyone's attention. "What's going on?" Pope inquired, prompting us to recount the events. Before we could do anything else, we heard John B's voice echoing from the well. Without hesitation, we hoisted him up, but the sound of a gunshot sent us diving for cover.I felt JJ's arms wrap around me, wordlessly providing comfort and protection.
"We have to move," he whispered, lifting me up and guiding me towards the door as another gunshot rang out. With everyone else in tow, we dashed out of the house and into the waiting Twinkie. It was then that I realized something was missing. "WAIT! Where's John B?" I exclaimed, scanning the faces around me in a panic.

After the chaos of yelling and gunshots subsided, John B bolted out of the house and dashed toward the Twinkie. JJ peeled away, leaving us all momentarily stunned, trying to process what had just occurred. Then, amidst the confusion, we heard John B's laughter. As we turned to him, puzzled, he revealed something shiny in his hand. "No way..." I exclaimed, and excitement erupted as we all realized the significance. "I FOUND THE GOLD!" John B shouted triumphantly.

We arrived at the chateau, the excitement clear as everyone rushed out of the Twinkie and into the rooms. JJ and I opted for the serenity of the hammocks outside.

"Are we going to talk about it?" I broached, catching JJ off guard."What?" he responded, his confusion evident."The kiss, JJ," I clarified, a hint of vulnerability in my voice.
A chuckle escaped him. "What? I didn't regret it," he implied, his tone playful yet sincere."And neither did I" I admitted softly, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders.
"So... what do we do?" There was a small pause before he spoke, his words laced with honesty. "I like you, Y/N" he confessed, his gaze searching mine.
A genuine smile graced my lips. "I like you too, JJ." With a gentle shuffle, he moved closer, the warmth of his presence comforting. As I settled into my hammock, his arms enveloped me, holding me close. His soft kiss on my cheek sent a shiver down my spine before he lowered me to the ground, his touch gentle yet sure.

Leading me to his room, the scent of weed mingled with his cologne greeted us. Despite the scattered clothes, the room held a sense of familiarity. As we settled onto his bed, his lips found mine once more, igniting a fire within me.

"Will you be my girlfriend, Y/N?" JJ's voice broke through the haze of passion, his eyes searching mine with hope.A radiant smile spread across my face. "Of course I will," I replied, my heart swelling with happiness of being with him.
