Junie - JJ Maybank

39

I am woken up by knocking on my door.

I look over to see John B peaking his head through.

"Morning, Ems."

"Morning," I say through a yawn.

"Are you ready to go home?" He asks me with a smile.

I tell him yes then he nods to JJ, "you got him?"

I nod then he walks out of the room.

I pull JJ's off my waist but he quickly tightens his group. I giggle as I flip over to face him.

I cup his cheeks before speaking, "we're going home."

He blinks his eyes open and when he makes eye contact with me, a smile grows on his face.

I smile back as I speak, "get up."

He nods but doesn't move from his spot.

I let out a small laugh, "did you hear me? We are going home."

He opens his eyes and stares at me, "five more minutes."

I giggle as I get comfortable again, "fine."

He hugs me tight and nuzzles his head in the crook of my neck.

Fifteen minutes later, I am woken up by a pillow being thrown at me.

I look at the door and see John B and Pope both standing there.

"We really need to get going, Emmy." Pope tells me.

"We have to sneak onto the doc." John B explains.

I give him a confused face, "why do we have to sneak in?"

John B shrugs, "it's one of those rich boat docs. If security sees a bunch of people that look like us then there is no way they will let us in."

I groan as I sit up and the two boys leave the room.

I run my fingers through JJ's hair, "we really need to get up, Jay." I tell him.

He groans and mumbles an okay as he sits up next to me. He kisses me on the temple then gets out of bed and throws a shirt on.

I get up and change into another change of clothes that my dad brought us then me and JJ walk out of the bedroom.

When we walk into the kitchen, I see everyone sitting at the table.

There is a big spread across the table, eggs, bacon, sausage, muffins, croissants, fruit, it looks like something that a rich family would have.

I gawk at the food then notice Carla sitting at the head of the table.

"Hello, Ms. Limbrey," I tell her.

She nods at me, "hi Emery."

My dad introduces Carla and JJ. They exchange small hellos but nothing else.

Me and JJ take a seat at the table and I continue to gawk at the food.

"Where did we get all this food?" I ask.

"I brought it over," Carla tells me, "I thought that since you're leaving, you should have a big meal."

"Thank you," I tell her.

"Thanks ma'am," JJ says.

"How're we gonna do this?" John B asks everyone.

We are at the boat doc and the sun is just barely starting to rise.

"Sarah, Kie, and Ems will go to the gate and distract the security guard," Pope tells us.

I scoff, "why do we have to distract the security guard?"
