JJ Maybank Imagines

Sleeping at a Party

When the clock hit 8 pm all you felt was relief. Your shift was finally done. After working 10 hours it was finally time to go home. You worked today, but also yesterday and the day before that, so you could say you were happy the weekend had arrived. You said goodbye to your colleagues and drove to the chateau. It was a habit during the summer, driving to John B's instead of your own house. You figured everyone would be there anyway.

You hopped out of the car and walked up to the back door. When you got closer, you saw you were right. On the porch were JJ and Pope lying on the couch with a beer in their hands. "Hey sunshine," JJ said when he saw you. "How was work?" You opened the screen door, walked up to him, and pressed a kiss on his mouth. "Exhausting," you replied. "Want a beer?" He held up his bottle. "Yeah, but later."

Walking inside, you saw John B working in the kitchen. When he heard you coming in, he looked up. "Hey, hungry for some food?" You nodded, you were starving. The only break you had was during lunch. "I'm dying, but first gonna take a shower, okay?" John B nodded. "Yes of course."

You took a quick shower and got dressed in some of JJ's comfy clothes. You two were dating for almost a year, so he wouldn't mind. In fact, he liked it when you wore his clothes. After grabbing a beer from the kitchen, you walked to the porch and plopped down on the couch next to JJ.

"Here." He handed you a plate with a few slices of pizza. "Thanks, if I don't eat right now I'm seriously gonna die." He chuckled and placed an arm around you.

The four of you sat outside and talked while you ate your dinner.

"So what time are we leaving?" Pope asked suddenly.

"I think around 10 maybe?" John B suggested.

You looked up, confused. What were they talking about? "What? Leaving for what?" You asked. Everyone stared at you. "Y/n don't tell us you forgot." After you didn't answer, John B spoke up. "Sarah's party. The one she's been talking about nonstop." When you realized, you slapped your forehead. How could you forget?

Tonight, Sarah was throwing a party for pretty much the whole island. Everyone was welcome. Her house was big enough anyway. It's supposed to be the greatest party the obx has seen.

"Crap, you're right. I did forget." You let out a heavy sigh. You were so exhausted from today but also the days before that, you were definitely not in the party mood. The whole night dancing and drinking? You weren't sure you could handle that.

"Guys I'm so tired from work, maybe I'll skip," you said honestly.

"What? No you can't. It won't be a party without you. Besides that, Sarah's been planning this for weeks," John B immediately said. That last part was true, she was really excited about this and had planned everything. And maybe you were a bad friend if you didn't show up.

Suddenly, you felt a hand on yours. JJ looked at you sweetly. "If you want to you don't have to go." You gave a small smile. "No JB is right, Sarah has been planning this for a while. I'll go, just not very long." JJ hesitated but then nodded.

After an hour you were dressed and ready to go. You were finishing up in the spare room, also JJ's room. Suddenly a knock was heard on the door and JJ walked inside. "Hey, I just wanted to check in with you. Are you sure you want to go?" You shrugged your shoulders but then nodded. "Yeah, I want to go for Sarah. I like a party, so I want to go. It's just that I'm pretty tired."
