"𝖶𝖤 𝖣𝖨𝖣 𝖨𝖳 𝖣𝖠𝖣."
That's the first thing I said when I arrived home after we found the gold. I sat in front of the picture of Dad, and I let myself cry── not in upset, but in pure fucking joy. John B let me feel the gold in my hands, and God, it felt unreal to hold something with real, monetary value. I felt as if I was living a pipe dream, I still do.
It's now the next morning and we're at the local pawn shop, ready to trade in the gold that Kiara melted down earlier this morning.
"Hell of a job melting it down, Dr. Frankenstein." JJ holds the giant hunk of gold in a bandana.
"Like you could've done better," Kiara snipes.
"I could have. I took a welding class."
I scoff, grinning. "When?"
John B places a hand on JJ's shoulder. "Chill out, okay?"
"Easy for you to say. You're not the one that has to pawn this piece of shit off." He sighs loudly, not happy that we pushed this job onto him. "How did I get this job anyway?"
"Cause you're the best liar," I say, patting my hand against his shoulder. He is, and has always been, the best liar.
It's been two days since that night in the water, where JJ touched me in a way I've only ever dreamed of. We haven't discussed it, and I don't think we will because we love to avoid painful, meaningful conversations. He said that, until I stop being afraid, he and I will not do anything which, I guess I understand.
Also, I'm not afraid of how I feel, I just don't want to tell him. Is that so bad?
Anyway, he and I are okay. Nothing is awkward between us as we're still best friends, and even if something had happened between us the other night, I truly don't think it would've been awkward.
So why can't I just let it happen?
JJ pushes open the door first, the rest of us following behind, very excited to hear how he's going to lie his way through this one. "Afternoon, ma'am." JJ nods to the woman at the front desk. "I see you buy gold."
