★ 8 - holding it in

"so i squeeze out the lime on the ice of my drink,
and the juice hits the cuts on my fingers,
it still doesn't burn as much as the thought of you."

The pogues finally arrive onto the dock and jump off of the boat. John B says that he'll go in to the coast guard and tell them about the Grady-White while JJ tags along, making Izzy decide to go with him.

As they walk into the tiny structure, it was a lot more crowded than they expected, people talking, arguing, constant chatter everywhere.

John B puts his elbows on the wooden counter then yells over some lady frantically talking about her dog, "Excuse me! Hey man, we found a boat—"

JJ raises his pointer finger to speak, only to be cut off, "I—"

"IT'S A DIABETIC DOG! YOU CAN'T LEAVE HIM!" The lady yells, making Izzy snort out a laugh.

The woman shoots Izzy a dirty look, causing JJ to lightly shoving her side, giving her a 'stop it' look.

"Look you're gonna wanna hear this—" John B starts again, only to be interrupted.

"Hey! Calm down." The man says, addressing his attention back to the crazy dog lady.

John B hopelessly throws his hands up in the air and looks over at JJ and Izzy on the opposite side of the counter.

"Watch this." Izzy says to JJ, winking at him before putting on a mischievous grin. She places her elbows below her chest and leans forward against the counter. Reaching out her arm, she taps the man they were trying to talk to, making him turn his face to her. Just as he was about to shout at her to wait, his eyes shoot down to her chest— where her cleavage was in full view.

John B gives her a stupid look and covers his eyes with his hand from the other side.

"Excuse me sir? Can you help me?" Izzy coos in a sweet, innocent voice, staring the man down with a long stare. It completely throws JJ off guard and his jaw drops.

The man glances up and down from Izzy's eyes to her chest, not knowing where to look, "Uhh—"

"CANINE DIABETES IS A VERY SERIOUS CONDITION!" The lady practically shouts into his face, instantly making the man continue back to his work.

John B tries, again, to try to get the man's attention, but only continues to fail.

Then JJ comes back to his senses, as he pulls Izzy's waist off the counter, her back up against his chest. He practically growls into her ear in frustration, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" He hated the fact that Izzy just did that to a stranger— despite the fact he internally wished it was him— in times like these, he automatically become protective over her.

As JJ tightens his grip on the girl's waist, she peels his hand away, then turns to face him. He's about a full head taller than she was, making her annoyed that she was so short. But, nonetheless, it didn't bother her from what she wanted to say.
