Something • JJ & Kiara

Pay up

John B. And Sarah were pulling up to The Chateau, the sun was setting behind the oceans horizon, and they had come home for the night after a long day spent out on The HMS Pogue.

They walked up the porch and unlocked the door, hand it hand. As they stepped inside they were slightly startled by what they saw, or who they saw lying on the couch.

Kiara was cuddled up with JJ, her head resting on his chest and his arm wrapped protectively yet gently around her, both fast asleep, seemingly in a blissful dream like state.

" Pay up Cameron." John B. whispered to Sarah, as to not disturb the sleeping couple.

They had made a bet at the beginning of summer as to when something like this would happen with JJ and Kie, Sarah had been convinced that Kie would never move that fast with any guy she truly liked, especially considering that guy was JJ, who didn't exactly have a stellar reputation regarding relationships.

But John B. Had grown up side by side with JJ, they were as close as brothers, they never really had to discuss their feelings or personal relationships with each other to understand exactly how the other felt. It's almost like they have telepathic powers.

" Fine, I can't say I'm 100 percent surprised by this though, they mean so much to each other and their chemistry is undeniable." Sarah told John B. while pulling at 20 dollar bill out of her purse and handing it to him.

" Kind of reminds me of another couple I know of, now let's leave them be shall we?" John B. Smirked and laughed as he picked up a Sarah and they headed off to his bedroom down the hall.

I don't think either of them realized that Kie had woken up from her all day nap and was simply pretending to sleep, still lying on JJ's chest with her eyes closed. She had heard their entire conversation and had a immediate whirlwind of thoughts.

They had made a bet that her and JJ would end up together? It wasn't surprising whatsoever? What did Sarah mean they had an undeniable chemistry? Kiara's head continued thinking on and on about this tornado of thoughts, slowly driving her insane. She had to move, she had to do something.

Kiara began to quickly pull up from her position on the couch, already having a game plan of heading out to the dock to sit and think, but really to calm herself down. Her thoughts were roughly yanked back to the present when she felt an arm pull her back to the sofa.

After a second she realized JJ's arm had never left from around her waist, and she concluded it was him who had pulled her back. She was now lying back down on the couch in almost the same position she had woken up in. This time her hand rested beside her head on JJ's chest, she could feel his heartbeat and his fairly steady breath.

It took her only a minute to realize this was the most safe, wanted, and comfortable she had ever felt. She had made up her mind that nothing could bring her to leave him now. She shifted her gaze up to his face.

His hair was a mess, she reached up and lightly tousled it. She slowly traced his jaw line with a feather light touch, she would hate to wake him. She studied his features and realized the amazing amount tranquillity he showed. He was happy and in the moment, he looked as if he had no fears or worries.

How she wished she could see him like this all the time.

Kiara then buried her face back into his chest, and quickly fell back asleep, even though she was now well rested from her hangover. She had no idea that when JJ had pulled her back he did so consciously and completely awake.

As she began to move and get up, he stirred as well. She had begun to stand up, her back facing him, but he wasn't about to let her slipway. So he quickly tightened his grip and used very little of his arm strength pull her back down to him on the couch. He quickly closed his eyes to avoid embarrassment and having to come up with an explanation, so by the time she turned around she thought he was still asleep. She had no idea.
