— you make loving you all I wanna do.
IT WAS A gloomy day in the outer banks. The rain could be heard splashing gently on the roof of the chateau, creating a soothing sound for the girl located inside. Jo had always loved the rain. It was beautiful, and the sound of it always made her feel at peace.
JJ was curled up in the bed with her, sound asleep as the rain counted to fall outside. Jo's bed was pushed up against the far wall of her room right next to the window, so she had a perfect view of the stormy beach. She watched happily as the waves crashed against the sand. The dark clouds practically swirled over the ocean and lightning flashed in the distance. Jo couldn't help but smile. Her focus shifted to the little droplets on her window, racing down the glass. Jo always loved watching the water fall down the side of the house. She used to make it a game to see which water droplet would hit the bottom first.
JJ took a deep breath and began to stir. Jo finally pulled her attention away from her window and down to the sleepy boy next to her. He rolled onto his stomach with his head facing the girl and buried his face into the pillow. Jo giggled at him and ran her hand through his tousled blonde hair. He groaned lightly and slowly opened his eyes.
"Morning, princess," he whispered. His voice was deep, still thick with sleep as he propped himself up on his arms. Jo grinned and pecked his lips happily.
"Hi," she whispered. Her face began to heat up when she realized JJ was staring at her rather intently. He did this a lot, but it always made Jo slightly uncomfortable and awkward. "What?" She squeaked. She could feel her cheeks burning bright red as JJ smirked up at her.
"You're so fucking hot," he whispered.
Jo's face flushed even further as she stared into JJ's eyes. Finally she had to break eye contact as she felt too vulnerable under his lustful stare. She buried her face into her hoodie and pulled the blankets up over her head, which caused JJ to chuckle.
"Stop," he pouted. "Let me see your pretty face."
Jo sighed as JJ pried the blankets away from her and cupped her cheeks in his hands. "Much better," he murmured.
"I hate you," Jo mumbled. She could feel her cheeks getting hot again and was worried JJ would be able to feel it.
"No you don't," he scoffed. "You're actually very much in love with me."
Jo couldn't help but roll her eyes. She pushed JJ's hands away from her face and gripped his wrists. "In your dreams."
JJ smiled and averted his gaze to their hands. Jo couldn't help but do the same as he slipped his wrists out of her grasp and linked his fingers with hers. She smiled at the gesture and gave his hands a light squeeze. After a moment of content silence, JJ pulled the brunette into his chest.
"I love rainy days," JJ whispered. His breath tickled her neck and sent shivers surging down her back. Jo giggled and peered up at him.
"No you don't," she pointed out. "You hate them."
JJ had told her many times how he hated the rain because it prevented him from being outside and causing trouble. Deep down, Jo had a feeling that it was really because the rain made JJ have to stay home with his dad. She frowned slightly at the thought.
"I used to," he admitted nonchalantly. His grip tightened ever so slightly and Jo snuggled closer against JJ's bare chest. "But now I have an excuse to cuddle with you all day."
Now that Jo and JJ were dating, the feeling of her cheeks flushing from embarrassment was quite common. JJ loved to make her blush, and Jo hated it. She chuckled against his chest and let out a small sigh of content.
"I can't really argue with that," she murmured. She splayed her hand across JJ's skin and traced little patterns into it with her index finger. JJ did the same on her back, the way he always did when they cuddled.
"Good," JJ whispered. "You wanna know something?"
Jo pulled away from the blonde just enough to look at his face. His bright blue eyes scanned her face with a small smile. "What?" Jo queried.
JJ grinned and pecked her lips lightly. "I hope it rains forever."
