This story is about JJ and Kiara in Outer Banks, taking place right after the events of season one. How will JJ deal with his demo...
It's been a whole day and I cant stop thinking about what happened yesterday.
I don't know why, but I felt the need to study JJs face and understand what he might be thinking. Somehow, Pope didn't notice that I was watching his best friend instead of Sleeping Beauty. It may be a dumb approach, but I thought I would finally understand him.
I get that him and Pope are best friends and he risked jail for him, but acting all buddy-buddy right after we had our confrontation is weird. Especially since he doesn't like me in that way. He could at have at least pretended to act happy that I arrived yesterday. Instead, his face fell like he was looking at his dad or someone evil. I don't know what I did....
You know what, I need to stop. Thinking about JJ will only make things worse between you two. Actually three, since i'm spending more time looking at my ceiling thinking about JJ than I am about my boyfriend. Does this count as cheating? I'm not really sure how cheating works, but it feels wrong, so i'll stop. I'll call Pope to get my mind off of JJ.
After the phone rings a couple of times, I hear Pope call back.
"Hey Kie! What's up?"
"Oh, nothing. At all. Is it okay if I come over?"
"Actually..." His voice trails off and I'm left alone with my thoughts. Fuck. I guess the only way to stop thinking about JJ is to sleep...at 4 pm....
"JJ and I are kinda busy having a smoke sesh. We can hang out tomorrow, alright? Call me later, bye." He hangs up.
Uhhhh, since when does Pope smoke? He's always been paranoid on the effects it has to your brain and all that smart people stuff. I would yell at JJ and act like a mom, but I quite frankly don't feel comfortable enough to do so. I feel like I don't even know him right now, and he is almost bipolar in the way he acts(not to be offensive of course).
- For the rest of the day, I distract myself by watching The Vampire Diaries and try mercilessly to not think of JJ. It was a hard fight, but I came out a winner. I fall asleep at around 11:00 P.M and when I wake up, I take up on Popes offer and I call him again to see if we can hang out.
Right when i'm about to press the first number, I get a text from him.
Hey Do you wanna hang out rn?
ofc💖see ya in five minutes
Ok see ya
Well, that was convenient. Except, knowing my luck, JJs forbidden face will be plastered all over his room when I enter. I'll make sure to not have a staring contest this time.
I arrive at Popes house in five minutes(as promised) and I hastily enter his room in fear of seeing the blonde bimbo. Clear. No JJ in sight or in ears. My prayers have been answered.
Pope turns around to look at me and says, "Hey Kie! Come here, I've missed you." And motions to the couch.
"Okay." I respond and we sit in front of the TV cuddling watching whatever's on. We talk about random shit going on in our lives, but nothing that I find interesting or important. I wish something could spice this hangout up a bit.
No. No. No.
Do NOT think about JJ Kiara. He only brings you annoyance. The "spicing up" he would bring would be me wanting to strangle him while he acts like I don't exist.
What else could I do? Oh wait, I could stick my tongue down Popes throat. Lame but effective way to distract myself from falling asleep while Pope talks on a on about school starting in a few months, which I do not want to hear about.
Once Pope finally ends his talking, I improve my posture and kiss him. He is reluctant at first but gives in and eventually we start to make out for like 30 minutes. We haven't gotten past 1st and a half base, but we've only dated for a bit, so I won't complain. Plus, he's like the most respectful guy ever. I just wish he could act more interested in me sexually. Sometimes, I still feel like just his friend.
Speaking of friends, I hear a knock on Popes door and my heart drops to my foot in fear. God help me JJ. ANY worse time to do this. ANY TIME AT ALL BUT THIS.
I quickly hop off of Pope right as JJ walks in, uninvited. It's obvious that Pope and I were just making out because my hair is a mess and my lips are red. We all sit in silence and shock for a whole minute as JJ scratches his head as if he isn't the cause of this entire problem.
Finally, he mans up and says something. "I'm sorry for barging in, but...
I got a call. From John B and Sarah."
Authors note- Well, see y'all in two weeks! I'll try and double update when I come back to make up for it, but either way I hope y'all will be okay with this cliffhanger 😳
