CHAPTER SEVEN

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

     Natalie finished her second can of beer. At the moment, she was sitting in a chair. She was wearing a purple bikini top and shorts, her hair up in a ponytail. Kiara sat beside her, taking a hit of a joint before she passed it to Natalie.

Natalie took two hits before passing it to Sarah, who was in the middle of laughing as she watched JJ and Pope wrestle each other. Natalie watched as well, her eyes mainly focused on JJ, and she found herself admiring how good he looked. He always did look good, but there was something different about him in that moment.

Pope tackled JJ to the ground, sitting up on his knees and throwing his arms up as he cheered loudly. Natalie laughed at the look of embarrassment on JJ's face.

"When did you start wrestling?" John B asked.

Pope shrugged as he stood up, swaying a little. "I dunno. I'm done. I'm out of here."

He stumbled away from them, and Natalie could've sworn she heard him burp. Shortly after, Kiara stood and followed him.

Natalie watched JJ disappear inside, and she soon found herself standing up, starting to follow him inside.

"What are you doing?" Sarah called out to her.

"I'm making my move." Natalie called back, immediately hearing her and John B start whooping loudly.

"Make sure he wears protection!" John B called teasingly.

Natalie walked inside and saw JJ was going through the refrigerator, most likely looking for something to eat. When he didn't find anything, he slammed it shut and turned, eyes widening in surprise when he saw Natalie standing there.

"You lost wrestling to Pope. How do you feel about that?" She asked, slowly approaching him.

"I'm deeply embarrassed. Like so embarrassed that I don't even want to talk about it." He replied, tilting his head as he saw she was just staring at him with a small smile. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Natalie didn't say anything. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck, surprising JJ. And then she did it. She crashed her lips against his and JJ immediately kissed her back, his hands moving to her waist and pulling her closer to him. A wave of electricity shot through them both. The same electricity from when they had their first kiss a year ago.

JJ was the one to break the kiss, resting his forehead against hers. He smiled.

"What was that?" He asked.

"Well, I figured you weren't gonna make a move, so I did it myself." Natalie replied, her arms remaining around his neck.

"I was going to make a move."

"Sure you were."

Natalie crashed her lips back onto his. The kiss quickly got heated and JJ turned her around, pushing her against the refrigerator. He pushed his tongue inside her mouth and she moaned quietly in the kiss. She got ahold of his shirt and pulled him closer to her.

"Let's go somewhere more private." She whispered and JJ nodded immediately.

He grabbed her hand and dragged her to John B's room, shutting the door as soon they were inside. Natalie fell back on the bed, pulling JJ with her. From there, they continued to make out, tongues exploring each other's mouths. JJ dragged a hand down her cheek, then her neck, then her collarbone and finally cupping her breast over the fabric of her bikini top. Natalie sighed heavily in his mouth.
