I went back to the fire plopping myself down on the log with a sigh as I drank more of my moonshine. After a while the twins, Jacob and Evie come over. Jacob having his own mason jar of moonshine.
"Where's your lady friend?" Jacob asks as he sits next to me on the log while Evie sits in a chair.
"She's uh, inside. Probably sleeping." I point behind me back towards the house.
"What's her name again?" Evie asks curiously.
"What'd she tell you?" I raise a brow.
"Natalie but I assume it's fake." She answers making me chuckle slightly taking another sip of my drink.
"It's Natasha." I say and she nods.
I then look into the fire licking my lips as my eyes flicker down briefly.
"She wants me to go back to New York with her." I tell them, tapping my fingers against the sides of the mason jar.
"Are you gonna?" Jacob asks turning to me as he takes of sip from his jar.
"I don't know. I really like it here. I like you guys, the things we do, the things we stand for.. I mean, you can actually see the stars here." I chuckle motioning up slightly still looking into the fire.
"Is there anything more between you guys?" Review asks making me turn to her at the sudden assumption.
"What do you mean?" I ask taking a sip.
"When she asked for you, she said she was a friend but she hesitated, as if she didn't know what to call herself. But she obviously cares more to be less than a friend." She explains simply and I sigh.
"It's complicated." I tell her.
"Yeah, I don't do complicated." Jacob chuckles.
"Just do what your heart wants." Evie tells me.
"No matter what you decide, we'll be here for you J.D." Jacob pats my shoulder.
Next Morning
It was early in the morning and I was laying on the couch, my arm draped over my eyes. I may have a minor hangover. I hear a patter of steps and suddenly feeling a weight on my chest as Rex jumps on me making me lift my arm.
"Hey buddy." I rub his head and he jumps down then runs off.
I get up and take a shower and change into fresh clean clothes. I then go up to my room and knock the door.
"Come in." I hear from the other side and I slowly open the door.
"Hey." I say as I see Natasha zipping up her bag.
Her hair is a bit damp so I assume she also took a shower.
"Hey." She responds over her shoulder.
"So um, breakfast is al-
"Why'd you kiss me?" She turns around facing me.
