Enemy Lines-JJ

12

Much to JJ's dismay, Saige made both of them put their clothes on and they sat on her to bed to eat and turn on a movie. They were being pretty quiet after their little 'sexy time' so she spoke up.

"Are things gonna be weird now?" She asked.

"I don't know, are they?" He replied in a joking voice.

"I mean, we did just see each other naked."

"Yeah and it was the best thing ever. There's no way in hell I'm letting you go now."

Saige laughed then paused before she asked, "What are we?"

"I mean I'd ask you to be my wife in a heartbeat but it's a little early for that." JJ said back. He wasn't joking when he said it.

She couldn't hide her giggle and felt her cheeks turn red. "That would be great and all, but if you think about it we still barely know each other."

"Sounds like we need to go on another date then, maybe one where I don't run away."

"I'd like that," Saige smiled, "what'd your dad think about you staying over here?"

"Trust me he wouldn't care, he's got more important things to worry about like drinking or some shit. Probably doesn't even know I'm gone."

"Lucky, my parents have to know where I am at all times or they flip. It's so annoying."

"I'd give anything for my dad to care. Be careful what you wish for."

"Are y'all not close?" Saige asked.

"My dad has been beating me my whole life so no, we aren't close."

Oh, I'm so sorry JJ, I had no idea..." Saige apologized. It hurt her heart knowing how much he'd suffered.

"Guess I'm used to it. No biggie." He said nonchalantly, but she could hear the pain he was trying to hide his voice.

"Have you thought about reporting it to the police or something?"

"Of course I've thought about it but nobody cares about us on the cut. Swear to God. There's no hope for us over there."

"My dad is close to Deputy Shoupe, he might could help you out-"

"Drop it, Saige," JJ cut her off and sighed, "I don't want to think about him. I want to think about us. You're my top priority right now, not that asshole who hasn't done anything for me except releasing me into my mom sixteen years ago."

"Do you want kids one day?" Saige tried changing the subject.

"Maybe a couple. One boy and one girl would be ideal. What about you?"

"I want at least ten." Saige said in a serious tone. JJ looked at her wide-eyed.

"Just kidding!" She laughed, "But I do want a few. I love kids, families around Figure Eight ask me to babysit all the time."

"I haven't really been around kids. Not at all, actually." JJ said.

"Got any family around here?" Saige asked.

"Nope, just my dad. Think all of our family dropped him because he sucks so bad."

"Well, maybe if this all works out, you could be around my family more?" Saige said hopefully and bumped JJ's shoulder.

"Yeah right, do you think they'd want a Pogue hanging around here? No way."

"You never know! They could fall in love with you." She replied with a cheeky smile.
