Temptations - Outerbanks (JJ)

Chapter 7 - DTR needs to happen soon

"Hey I know you're trying to be a good friend and all but I am not wearing a stupid dress-" I begin saying walking into Sarah's room but am interrupted by the sight of Sarah's little sister hunched over the toilet vomiting as Sarah holds her hair back.

"Oh hey Summer, dresses are gonna have to wait a few seconds, this one did some day drinking" She motions to the brunette with her head in the toilet.

I had left early this morning despite JJ's moans and groans about how I should stay with him in bed all day. As much as I desired to stay with him I had already made plans with Sarah.

 She had texted me last night insisting I come over so she can fix me up with a dress for Midsummers. Apparently it's some yearly club party for all the kooks. So far I'm not a fan. 

JJ had told me that he and the pogues would spend the day looking up more about the Merchant, and I felt bad for not being there with them but I made a promise to Sarah first and I don't go back on my word. 

"Ugh" Her sister groans sitting up. "So, what have we learned," Sarah asks her sister. " Don't mix vodka with crystal light" She mumbles. "ever" I add and she nods.

 "Very good" Sarah congratulates her sister before she sticks her head back in the toilet and vomits. 

"Please don't tell dad" her sister begs. " Oh, I won't," she pauses. "on one condition."

Mini Sarah groans, "what's that?". "You cover for me sneaking out tonight with Summer and Topper" She smirks.

-

 "Je ne comprend pas Sarah," I groan. "I don't know what that means but you're going to this party with us tonight"

"Do you not remember what happened that last time you guys dragged me to a party?" I raise my eyebrow. She smiles walking out of her closet and holing up a pink dress to me before scrunching her eyebrows and returning back to her room full of expensive clothing.

"Oh, I highly doubt there will be any pogues there to pick a fight with," she says and I groan again. "Oo what about this one" She holds a short yellow dress with ruffles at the bottom.

"Absolutely not" I glare at her. "okay fine" She groans and throws that dress to the side.

"Speaking of pogues." She comes peeks her head through the doorway. "You and JJ?"

My heart leaps at the mention of his name. "What are you talking about?" I act innocent.

she chuckles, "Oh don't think I don't remember you flirting with him at the kegger, and don't think I haven't noticed how much you've been out. What have you been up to Summer Grace?"

"That was a one-time thing, Sarah. Why would I be with the guy that pulled a gun on my brother? and for your information, I've been exploring the island. I've barely been here for three weeks. I thought It was time to finally do something" I lie straight through my teeth. 

It's not that I don't trust Sarah. I do. I just don't want to take any chances of Topper finding out. If he found about JJ and me, whatever we are, he would flip his shit.

"Bull shit" She smirks at me. "okay fine. I've been with JJ" I tell her and she squeals. 

"Well, are you guys like together or something?" She asks.

That's a good question. 

What are we?

 We haven't really had that conversation. It's only been a few days so I feel like it's too early to DTR, but at the same, these past few days have been absolutely amazing and I think, I hope he feels the same way.
