General Pov:

After Kiara and JJ kissed it was a little awkward, but they promised each other to never speak of it again. Pope, doesn't know of this either because Kiara and JJ both decided it would be best for him to not know. Oh, and good news, Kiara and Pope made up. JJ seemed to be a little sad about that but they all would hang more often now. Things were finally getting better for them. They all were back together, laughing again, and even getting into trouble sometimes like the old times. Another good thing is JJ stopped drinking so much. Of course, since it was JJ, he still would drink just not as much as before when he was a mess. So everyone was back on track, enjoying life, and not letting anything take that away from them again.

A few days later:

Everyone was sitting in the living room of the chateau having a few drinks and chatting. They spent quite a few hours doing that almost everyday. Kiara was sitting on Pope's lap on the couch while Pope had his hand wrapped around her waist. JJ was on the other side of the room sitting in his chair that only he could sit in. Seriously. If anyone else sat down in that chair he would strangle them until they would detoxicate the seat.

JJ got up and asked Kiara if he could talk to her alone. A lot has been on his mind especially the kiss they shared. Kiara nodded and got up.

They both headed outside to the back so no one else would hear them.

"So what is it you need to talk about?" Kiara asked.

JJ closed the door behind him and faced Kiara, "Kie, I need to ask you something. Now I know we promised to not talk about this ever again, but I just need to know this.".

Kiara tilted her head confused, "What is it?".

"When we kissed, did you maybe feel anything?".

"JJ!" she said whispering grabbing his arm and pulling father away from the chateau, "We are to never speak of that!".

JJ looked down then back up, "I know Kie but I need to know.".

"JJ, no. I didn't. I didn't feel anything. I love Pope and that's it.".

JJ looked down trying not to show he was a little sad and hurt.

"Why do you ask anyways?" Kiara said.

"I just, you know. I just thought that maybe I-I thought you would l-like," JJ shook his head and looked down even more, "Never mind.".

Kiara stared at him for a few more seconds and then headed back inside. JJ continued to look down as Kiara walked father away. Why was he wondering this? Why was he feeling a little hurt after hearing she loves Pope? He felt something, but why?

Once she was back inside Pope asked her what that was all about.

"It was nothing, just JJ being weird again." Kiara said sitting down on Pope's lap. Pope wrapped his hand around her waist and kissed her on the cheek. JJ then walked back in and noticed Pope stare at him. Pope watched him sit back down and then kissed Kiara on the lips. JJ watched and then looked down. Pope saw him look down and then couldn't help but wonder, why JJ has been acting the way he is ever since he and Kie started dating. JJ looked back up and looked at Pope who was staring at him like he had just kissed his girlfriend. Well, he did but Pope doesn't know about that.

Later on that night:

It was 11:34pm and JJ couldn't sleep. He was tossing and turning trying to get comfortable in his bed. All that had been on his mind was Kie, but why? JJ huffed out in anger.

"Stupid thoughts." he mumbled. 

JJ always thought that Kiara was pretty, no absolutely stunning, and adored her laugh so much. He knows he loves Kie as a best friend, but if he loves her like that is it normal for him to wanna hug her tightly as they sleep together or wake up to her peacefully resting besides his lean muscular body. 

He must be just needy for some fun and since Kie is the only woman he had been around maybe that's why he feels this way.

Over to Kiara:

Kiara laid I her bed starring at he ceiling. She couldn't sleep at all. She was busy thinking about JJ, but why? She had lied to JJ when he asked her earlier if she felt anything. The truth was she felt a million butterfly's in her stomach and so much joy and excitement flooded her body, but she knew she can't feel that way. She's with Pope and loves Pope, but she doesn't feel that way when she kisses him. She doesn't feel excited when she sees Pope. She doesn't get butterflies thinking about him. She doesn't feel what she feels for JJ for Pope at all.

Kiara suddenly heard a knocking sound come from one of her windows. She got out of her bed and opened her window. 

There he was. The man she couldn't stop thinking about and wanted to be in his arms, but didn't want any of that at all.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"I came to see you. I couldn't fall asleep.".

Kiara then threw down a rope she had in her room and tied it tightly to one of the legs of a desk in her room. 

Slowly a sweaty JJ crawled through the window landing with a loud thud onto the floor. 

"Jesus JJ are you trying to wake up the whole house?" Kiara asked rushing over to help the 165 pound man up. (Yes I looked it up stop judging me) 

JJ just giggled a bit stumbling over his two feet. Kiara sighed and rolled her eyes still holding onto him tightly. 

Once JJ regained his balance it became dead silent and awkward. They both just stood there staring around Kiara's room and sometimes making eye contact with each other for a split second and then immediately looking away. 

"Um...so, Kie I know you are probably confused as to why I am here and I wanted to ask if it would be okay if I slept here tonight?".

Kiara still kept her eyes from looking straight into his deep blue ones and played around with her fingers, "Uhm, yeah. Sure. Of course you can sleep here tonight." she said giving him a warm smile. 

He returned her the same smile, "Thanks." he said. 

Kiara nodded and started to walk back over to her bed climbing under the soft covers. JJ follows behind but didn't get into her bed. Instead he laid down in her floor. Kiara looked over and saw him trying to get comfortable on the hard floor. 

"Um, JJ? What are you doing?".

"I'm getting comfortable.".

"On the ground?".

"Yeah.".

Kiara sighed, "JJ get your ass in here.".

"Um." JJ said sitting up, "I'm not too sure how Pope would feel about me sleeping in the same bed as you.".

"Oh it's fine. It's not like we are doing anything bad so just get in here.".

JJ sighed and got into her bed climbing under the covers. 

After about 30 minutes JJ turned his head over to look at Kie who had her back facing him.

"Kie?" he whispered. 

No response.

"Kie, are you still awake?".

Still no response.

He took a deep breath and slowly scooted closer to her rapping his muscular arms around her tiny frame. The truth was she was actually awake and knew what JJ was doing. 

He pulled her closer to him and rested his chin into her neck. Kiara couldn't help but smile a little. She liked this. She liked him holding her like this, but why? 



There we go! A new chapter to this book. Again as I said in before, I am sorry about being a dumb bum and forgetting about this story. I hope this chapter was better than the previous chapters and my writing maybe improved by the slightest bit. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day/morning/afternoon/night. I love you!
