A/N: hey guys, hope you all joy this chapter. Lets get going!

~~

I wake up to the feeling of an arm being flung over me. As I begin to open my eyes I see JJ. Before I am quick to pull away like I did last time, as the smell of his deodorant engulfs me, I take in his features. His lips are in a small pout, and his blonde hair sticks up in every direction. Moments of last night come into memory. Pope had stayed sober to be DD, JJ had to carry me to the Twinkie, Kie helped me puke into the toilet once we got to the chateau, John B help JJ get me into bed, Sarah and Tony helped me get comfortable, and before falling asleep I remember JJ insisting that he would watch me. I took one too many shots after admitting to myself that I do in fact have feelings for JJ. And honestly, the memory of JJ convincing the others he would take care of me didn't help.

JJ shifts and I hurry and close my eyes in case he wakes up. I feel JJ's arm pull me a little closer to him. Once he settles back down and stops moving, I slowly open my eyes to look at JJ again. Some of JJ's hair has fallen onto his face and before I can stop myself my hand is gently pushing it out of the way so I can get a clear view of his face. Before pulling my hand away it traces his jawline. JJ's eyebrows fur together as he begins to move his head and my hand is snatched against my chest, eyes closed again.

I hear JJ let out a deep breath, then the arm that is flung across my waist tenses up as if JJ is stretching. It then relaxes and I feel JJ's open hand press against my lower back. It pulls me even closer than before. I feel JJ's breath on my face, and his fingers begin to form small circles on my back.

"Mae?" I hear JJ whisper. I keep my eyes shut, hoping he will say anything else. But I hear a phone buzz instead. JJ removes his arm quickly and I feel the bed shake as if he had sat up. My heart sinks, wishing the moment lasted a little longer.

I begin to rub my eyes and stretch to act like I had just woken up. I finally open my eyes to notice that JJ had removed himself completely from the bed and was over by the desk near the door. As I begin to sit up I feel my head throb.

"Hey I think your mom was trying to call you." JJ says with his back turn to me.

"Oh, okay." My voice is groggy from sleep, my head pounds to the words as I say them. "Hand me my phone?" JJ grabs my phone and then hands it to me. I look down at my phone and notice I am not in my tank top that Tony had picked out for me last night. It was the shirt JJ was wearing the day I showed him my art. It feels intimate wearing the shirt he wore while I laid out a part of me only a few have seen. I pulled my attention away from the shirt to look at my phone, I have two missed calls from my mom and a text from dad. I lock my phone before reading the text and look up at JJ, who is currently leaning against the desk scrolling through his phone.

"It was a crazy night for you, I think you downed 4 shots in fifteen minutes? I'd say that's gotta be a record for you." JJ says as he begins to look up. His eyes stop at his shirt then make their way to mine. JJ lets out a small laugh. "What got you so riled up to take so many shots?"

"Not sure to be honest." I shrug and wince at the movement, "Was just trying to have fun."

"Well all that puking didn't seem like fun." JJ teases, I feel heat rise in my cheeks.

"Ugh, it wasn't. Don't even get me started on this headache." I hid my face in my hands. The long sleeves of JJ's shirt smells like him. I take a deep breath taking in JJ's scent. JJ laughs and I feel the bed shake, I look between my fingers to see JJ has sat down next to me.

"Gotta know your limits." JJ winks, butterflies enter my stomach. 'Normally my limits are not catching feelings, but yet here we are.' I think to myself. I drop my hands into my lap.
