Chapter 1.8 - The Runway

season 1 episode 8 

Victoria woke up from her slumber, her and JJ still tangled together. She was now on her side, their faces inches together. Soft snores escaped JJ's mouth as his hands rested on her lower back. 

She reached up, brushing some of his blonde hair away from his face. JJ began to fidget in his sleep, his snores stopping as he twitched slightly. 

"Sorry." She whispered. " I didn't mean to make you up." 

"It's okay." He mumbled, pulling her closer. She smiled slightly, resting her cheeks back on his head. 

"We should get up." 

"Not yet." 

"I would stay like this all day, J, believe me. But we gotta go help the others. We are about to be rich." JJ finally picked his head up, looking at the girl. 

"You would stay here?" He smirked up at her. The heat returned to her face as she rolled her eyes.

"Okay, get up." She pushed him away, standing up.

"No, no, no." JJ grabbed her waist to pull her back on the bed. 

"JJ." She laughed. He rested his chin on her shoulder. She turned her head to face him. 

"Good to know you liked it just as much as I did." He whispered. 

"I never said that." She argued, still smiling.

"Your smile and the fact that you're blushing says enough." He teased her. He glanced down at her lips, leaning closer. Their noses brushed together, as Victoria's eyes fluttered shut.

"Wakey, wakey-oh shit." Kie stopped in her tracks. Their heads snapped towards the door was it pushed open. "M-My bad. Sorry to interupt." Kie chuckled, turning back around to leave. 

"Told you." Victoria looked at him. "Time to get up." She got up, grabbing the last of her clean clothes off the floor. She went to go get ready in the bathroom, but turned to lean down and plant a kiss in JJ's cheek. 

She shut the bathroom door, her face as red as a tomato. Her curls were a mess due to the fact that she fell asleep without her bonnet, but she didn't care. She tied her mess of a hair into a bun on top of her head as she began to change into her clothes.

Her dad's old dark green shirt rested over her burnt orange bikini top and jean shorts as she rushed out. JJ was no longer in the bedroom when she sat her pajamas on the bed and tied her converse on. 

JJ, Pope, and Kiara were already outside, Pope and Kie testing the pulley system to get the gold. JJ was now in shorts and a wife beater as he put his feet in the hottub. 

"Good morning!" Kiara smirked at her from her spot in the bucket.

"I heard it was." Pope said.

"Blabber mouth." Vic snapped her eyes to Kie who just laughed. "How is it working?" She gestured to the bucket.

"Good." Kiara answered.

"Good, I'm taking you down." 

"John B pullin' a Houdini." JJ said. 

"Yeah, where is he?" Pope asked.

"Whatever you guys did last night, it seemed to make him feel beter." Kie teased, nudging Victoria.

"We slept. That is all we did." Victoria couldn't control it as she began to blush again.

"Yeah, yeah. Looked like it."

"Kiara-" Victoria laughed.

"Hey, I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Just, if you don't like it or want him like that, put an end to it now."
