The Kook vs The Pogue • JIARA•

23

Kie's POV:

The next morning, I woke up to Sarah and John B standing over me and JJ. Shit. Our clothes were everywhere and we were both naked.

"Looks like the two of you couldn't keep things PG last night" John B said

"You guys were so loud" Sarah complained

JJ just smiled and put his arm around me. We stayed under the covers and John B said, "You two stay here and get dressed. We're going on a quick breakfast run"

"Have fun" I smirked at Sarah

The two of the left and JJ kissed me and said, "Good morning, my beautiful pogue princess"

"Good morning" I said kissing him back

We were kissing when Pope walked in. Of course... He covered his eyes and said, "Really, JJ? On the couch. Get a room!"

"Okay" JJ said getting up and wrapping the blanket around my body as he carried me to the bathroom and started the shower

I let the blanket fall the floor as we stepped into the shower where we continued our little make out sesh.

"Wanna piss Pope off?" JJ asked

"Yeah" I said as he was super funny when he was mad

But hit his hand on the shower wall a few times and moaned, "Fuck, Kie"

"Oh so that's what we're doing?" I asked laughing as I joined in and yelled a few things

Pope came and yelled, "Shut up, you two are disgusting!"

By that time we were both out of the shower and wrapped in towels and JJ opened the door and said, "Dude, it was a joke"

"So annoying!"

JJ brought me to the spare bedroom after he grabbed our clothes. He tossed me one of his t-shirts and a pair of sweats. We both changed and John B and Sarah came back with breakfast.

We all ate together then Sarah and I left. In the car the first thing she said was, "Okay, I could hear you last night. Was it really that good?"

"Yeah, it was... Now tell me about John B!!!"

"He's so cute and he's the sweetest! But I'm dating Topper. I feel like I'm cheating on him. This all has to stay a secret" She said

"Duh!" I said and I dropped Sarah off at home

I went home and changed out of JJ's clothes. The next day I worked and hung out with Sarah which turned into a sleepover. I went to drop her off and Rafe was waiting there for me.

"Hey, good morning" He smiled

"Good morning" I said

"I have a date planned later today for me and you and Sarah and Topper. Wanna hang until then?"

"Sure" I said going to hang out with Rafe as I had nothing better to do

We literally just chilled in his room and then Sarah and I went to get ready for the double date. It was on the mainland so we were taking the ferry. We both wore fancy dresses and Topper showed up and we went to the ferry.

Apparently, we were going to some fancy new restaurant's grand opening. Rafe was extra sweet to me and we were actually having fun. We sat down at the table and we were all talking. When I looked at the menu, I almost choked on my water. The prices were expensive. A single meal was nearly $400.

Sarah and I both didn't know what to order, so our boys ordered for us.

"Kie, what's going on with that JJ kid?" Topper asked

"Nothing, just like there is nothing going on with me and Rafe" I said

"We'll see about that after tonight" Rafe smiled at me

We finished our meals and honestly, the food wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be for the cost. We took a few pictures and Rafe ended up posting them on his social media with the caption: sorry fellas, she's mine

I was already annoyed because I clearly wasn't his. Rafe wanted to take me on a romantic walk. We walked the beach as we watched the sunset.

"I know I've fucked this up pretty bad with you. I just don't want to lose you. I see the way he looks at you and it makes my blood boil. I love you, Kiara.... I want to give you that promised ring back someday when you're ready because I do love you and I want to marry you. I want to have children with you. I want everything with you, baby" He said handing me the promise ring I gave him when I went after JJ

"I'll hang onto it and wear it when I'm ready..." I replied as he put it on my finger and leaned down to kiss me

I wore it on my finger as I didn't want to lose it. The ring was very expensive and beautiful. Wow. I'll admit, the kiss was kind of perfect. Perfect view, Perfect moment. Perfect kiss.

Rafe and I were walking along the beach, laughing and talking. It felt just like old times.

Rafe and I met up with Topper and Sarah and we got back on the ferry to head home. Sarah and I had so much to catch up on. On the ferry, I rested my head on Rafe's shoulder and he wrapped his arms around me as he whispered to me and told me all about how he fell in love with his sister's best friend. It was pretty adorable.

I spent the next few days working double shifts at the Wreck. JJ showed up after I closed the place. I was just locking the door and he appeared.

"Hey" I said

"So I saw you were at the fancy restaurant with Rafe"

"Yeah, it was a double date. Topper and Sarah were there too"

"Oh, exciting.." He said annoyed

"Are you jealous?" I asked as he seemed hurt by this

"No, I'm not jealous. I just didn't realize you got back together with Rafe" He practically yelled

"That's because I didn't" I said and then I realized he saw his Instagram post

"No, Rafe was being all sentimental and sweet and posted that. We aren't back together. I told you that I'm not ready for a relationship right now"

"But you are dating... You're clearly dating Rafe and what just screwing me on the side for some fun?"

"No, absolutely not. There is no relationship with either of you, okay" I said on the verge of crying

"Didn't realize this was a competition" JJ said walking away pissed off

I was left so confused and upset. Two days later was Friday night. The night we were going to hang out again with John B and Sarah. I didn't even know if it was still on. I texted JJ and asked him.

Me: Hey, are we still on tonight?

JJ: Sorry, we both have to work

Me: I know you're mad at me, but can you please help me set John B and Sarah up

JJ: Fuck no! I'm not letting my best friend get involved with a kook. It's an awful idea

Me: Wow......

JJ: Wow? Really, Kie... I'm stupid to think that a kook could be different. I should have known better

Me: You told me I'm different. You know I am. I'm not a kook. I'm a pogue. Please, J

JJ: Oh, so now you want me?"

Me: Please come over so we can talk. I don't want to do this over the phone

JJ: Can't... I'm wasted and high as shit

Me: Then I'm coming to you

JJ: I'm not home

Me: Where are you?

Me: I'll come get you

JJ: No thanks

I laid in bed and cried myself to sleep. I think I just lost JJ. What the hell just happened? I woke up to Sarah coming in my room.

"You look like shit, are you okay?" She asked

"No" I said handing her my phone to read JJ's messages
