Nails

"I am not getting my nails done," JJ looks at Rhea in disbelief as she tells the nail artist to get him too. 

She shrugs at him, "Oh see that sucks, because you kind of are." 

He had been watching Rhea get her nails done for ten minutes now, complaining every other minute about two long it was taking and that she had promised him they would do other things. Eventually, Rhea had gotten tired of his complaining and asked the nail tech to give him a manicure too. He was not on board. 

The nail artist giggles slightly at the banter before pulling JJ towards a chair. He sits down, still glaring a little at Rhea as the nail tech grabs his hand. 

Rhea glances over from her own nails to JJ's which were filled with dirt and had all kinds of edges and shapes. 

"Hm," she says, going back to paying attention to her own nails, "This was a great idea."

JJ grumbles slightly but gives in, watching in amazement as the lady gets to work on his nails. His mind wanders to how he knew John B would make so much fun of him for doing this later. However, mid way through the manicure, JJ did not seem to mind one bit. In fact, he was actually beginning to enjoy the feeling. 

"Feels good doesn't it," Rhea is already finished with her nails and is now watching JJ with his. He looks up at her, pulled back from his deep thoughts. He frowns at her. 

She knew he was enjoying this.

She smirks slightly. There was no way he did not enjoy that, she thought. He had been silent and watching the nail tech intently for the most part of it, and stopped his complaining. 

"Maybe," he says as the nail tech finishes. He pulls both his hands back, looking at his clean nails in wonder. Suddenly, he snaps his head up to face her and grabs her hand, putting it right next to his as to compare the two. 

"Why are they not long and pointy?" he squints at her small nails. 

She did not get much done. She just got them cleaned up and had them put on a slightly tinted coat on top. 

"Because I play the guitar JJ," she pulls her hand back and walks over to the front desk. She pulls out her credit card, handing it to the worker. 

JJ frowns at her, "I can pay for ours."

Rhea pauses and looks at him as the lady gives her the credit card back, "It was my idea. You didn't even want to do it."

JJ and Rhea sit side by side on the ferry, giggling at what JJ was currently telling her. 

"No, he actually almost cried," He says through his laughter, remembering the time he had pantsed John B at school.

The laughter dies down slowly and Rhea sips on her lemonade. The two look out on to the ocean around them.

"I had fun today," she says and JJ turns to look at her. He finds himself smiling.

"Me too."

If you had told JJ that he would be here on a ferry, laughing and talking to a kook girl like they were best friends, he would not believe it. Yet, here he was, doing the unthinkable-- actually getting along with a kook. 

"You're not bad," he nudges her with his shoulder, "For a kook."

She rolls her eyes, "Have I told you how dumb I think that whole thing is?"
