With The Tide (Outerbanks JJ Maybank x OC)

Chapter 14 - Other Foot

As promised because my last chapter was short and not really my favorite i figured i would upload another to make up for it :)

Here is some Kie and Rowyn friendship and some JJ and Rowyn light fluff.

All errors are my own.

Thanks for reading :)

Hope to see you back here for the next chapter.

We were nowhere near answering all questions we had after the revelation of Denmark Tanny and his gold. After a day of scratching our heads, it was clear that the world wouldn't stop for us to figure out a mystery that people had been trying to solve for over a hundred years, and thus we were left with returning to the monotony of our lives.

The crazy adventure of the last few weeks seemed to slow and we were left with the regular mundane monotony of our lives. Working, fishing and having a good time, the way summer was supposed to be. The gold remained in the lock box in the chicken coop out back, because who would look there, at least that was what John B and JJ had decided. We still weren't sure how we would pawn the rest of the gold, or even where we would go so it just sat.

I hadn't seen or heard from Rafe since I punched him which was a relief and a reason for concern. Topper had called me halfway through the week to let me know he had spoken to his grandfather and the charges were going to be dropped, JJ was going to get a call in the next few day from the DA claiming such as well. I had thanked him and I could tell, just by the tone in his voice he didn't have a dark cloud hovering over him anymore.

A few days after the phone call with Topper, JJ came into The Wreck with John B, his face lit up with a huge smile.

"What's got you so happy?" I asked from behind the counter filling some glasses for a table.

"We are heading to Rixon's to celebrate." He said leaning on the counter grabbing a fry from the basket I was placing on a tray and I playfully smacked his hand away picking the tray up and walking away. Coming back to them I set the tray down and stood between them.

"What are we celebrating?" I questioned.

"Charges have officially been dropped." He replied with a smile.

"Are you serious!" I exclaimed and wrapped my arms around him. His hands wrapped around my waist picking me up spinning me around. "JJ that's amazing!"

"I wasn't sure Topper was serious when he told me the other day, but Shoupe called me to the station this morning... its legit." He explained setting me back down he put his lips to mine and when he broke away, I sighed in relief.

"So what do you say Roe, surfing down at Rixons?" John B asked.

"I can't, I close tonight." I said with a disappointed sigh looking away from the pout JJ was giving me.

"Come on Roe, dip out early." JJ said and I rolled my eyes.

"Rowyn your foods up!" Mike yelled from the window and I could see the scowl he was giving the two boys leaning on the counter.

"I can't... I kinda need the money," I shook my head. "But hey we close at 10 tonight so... I will just come down after that and I will drink to your freedom then."

"Ugh..." JJ groaned but I could hear the playfulness in his tone as him and John B headed towards the door. "Oh shit, I saw your dad today by the way."

"What?" I froze pulling the food out of the window almost dropping it to the floor.

"Yeah, as I was leaving today he was heading into the club." He nodded. "Don't think he saw me but figured I'd let you know he was in town."
