JJ POV
I hopped out of the van, following John b and Pope into the Wreck. As I trailed behind John b, I pinched his ass just so Pope and I could watch the boy squirm.
Pope laughed with me as John b the shot me a dirty look. He opened the door and we all walked in, looking for our friend Kie whose parents owned the restaurant. We could probably get some free food if she asked her dad.
I noticed John b was distracted so I reached down and pinched his ass again making him yelp.
"Fuck off!" The brunette growled lowly, slapping my hand away from his ass.
I snickered as Kie came up to us, rolling her eyes. I never really knew why she hung out with a bunch of lowlife teenage slobs.
"Free food?" I raised my eyebrows a smirk dancing across my lips and Kie rolled her eyes.
"This is the third time this week. There's no way my dad is gonna allow it" Kie proclaimed, looking back at her father who was working at the bar.
"C'mon please" I stuck out out my bottom lip and gave the girl puppy eyes I knew she couldn't resist.
"I fucking hate you" She laughed, shaking her head as she covered my face with her hand before walking over to her father.
I watched as she talked to her father and they looked over at us multiple times. Kie was always very convincing. Surely she could win over her dad. Her dad was never too fond of us. He thought we were a bad influence for his daughter. Plus, he was a Kook and we were pogues. Natural enemies. However we kinda claimed his daughter.
Finally, Kie looked over at us with a smile and a thumbs up. I cheered as I sat down at the closest table and John b and Pope sat around me. Minutes later, Kie sat down our favorite drinks and some straws.
"He said he would let you get free food but you have to order a low price meal" Kie explained as I leaned back in my chair. Once Kie had disappeared into the kitchen, I listened to John b talk about the waves he surfed the other day. I stirred the ice in my drink with my straw as I commented that "I was the best surfer and nobody could outdo me"
That's when I looked up and my attention was drawn to something else. A waitress. She walked by and I couldn't help but notice she was about my age and very pretty. Beautiful actual.
She walked past me without a care in the world as I stared at her features. I turned my head over my shoulder to continue watching her as she walked up to another table and took orders. I'd never see her around before. Surely I would remember a pretty face like that.
"Hey creep!" A voice said rather loudly as something hit my cheek. I turned to face the two boys in front of me to see them laughing. I wiped my face, finding a balled-up spitball on my cheek.
"Asshole" I murmured, throwing it at John b. My eyes wandered back to the girl who was now walking back into the kitchen. Something in me clicked when I saw her. Something made me feel the urge to talk to her. Well, she was hot.
I saw Kie walking by so I quickly stopped her to see if she knew anything about the girl.
"Hey! Who's that?" I asked, tapping Kie's arm to get her attention and pointing to the girl who was across the room.
"Oh, she's new. Just moved here and needed a job so, yeah, we hired her. She's actually really good" Kie informed me, shrugging her shoulders like it wasn't a big deal.
"What's her name?" I implored curiously, my eyes never leaving the girl.
"Uh, I don't know" Kie stated. "But she'll be taking your guys orders cause I'm back up"
My eyes bulged out of my head at the words that fell out of her mouth. She would be taking our orders? Holy shit. I was gonna get to talk to this girl. Even if it was just a few simple and meaningless words.
"Gotta go" Kie waved before running off. I proceeded to watch the waitress as she walked from tables to the kitchen. Back and forth.
"I've never seen JJ so lovestruck"
"I know. It's honestly scary"
"I'm not lovestruck" I chimed in,
my attention landing back on my friends as I took a sip of my drink.
"Hi! I'll be taking your guy's orders so what can I get for ya?" A voice startled me making me look over to see no other than the girl I had been staring down the whole time. Her voice was lovely and sweet but I could tell she was tired of her job just from the look in her eyes.
After John b and Pope both ordered she turned to me. "And what can I get for you?"
"Your number," I simply said, smirking up at her, hoping to god that it was a good pick-up line.
She laughed at me. Oh god, that laugh. It was adorable and I couldn't help but smile at the sweet noise.
"I don't think we had that on the menu, sir" she responded with a small chuckle, shaking her head.
"Oh well, what about a date with you? I'm sure I saw that" I explained, opening the menu in front of me with a grin on my face.
"Nope"
"Welp, I guess I'll just settle with some shrimp and grits" I sighed, looking up at her as she wrote it down on her notepad. I should have expected a rejection. She was too good for me anyway.
Pope apologized for my "immature behavior" before she left, taking our menus with her.
John b started teasing and taunting me about how I just got rejected as we waited for our food. I just rolled my eyes at the brunette.
Once we got our food, we gobbled it down like a pack of hungry wolves. John b had been low on food for a few days and we had only been snacking on the little things we could find so that small meal was amazing.
We all talked and laughed as we ate our food but I couldn't help but think about that girl. What was wrong with me? Usually, after I took a good hard rejection, I would shake it off and find another girl but not this one. Something was different and I couldn't figure it out. I wanted her. Not just to hook up with her but to be with her. I barely knew her but something in me wanted to be with her so bad.
Finally, after we had finished, we got up heading for the door. I hesitated, watching John b and Pope walk out the door as I turned around, scanning the room for that girl. I needed one more shot with her.
Suddenly, I spotted her wiping the bar down. I made my way over to her and she looked up once she saw me.
"Hey, uh, you're new, right?" I questioned, resting my elbows on the counter.
"Yeah, just moved in a few days ago why you ask "dude who keeps staring at me and used a lousy pick-up line?" She inquired, raising her eyebrows making me chuckle.
"Well, I was wondering if you would like a tour of the island? I can hook you up with a friend of mine who can show you the best places around here" I explained with a small smile, hoping she would at least take that.
"And who might this friend be?"
"Someone with blonde hair and blue eyes wearing a hat" I proclaimed, referring to myself.
"Hmm. Does he happen to know some private beaches so I don't have to worry about people?" She implored as she looked at me with her stunning eyes.
"Yeah, actually. He might even be able to teach you a few things. Like surfing. So what do ya think?" I replied, raising my shoulders then dropping them. The more things I came up with, the more time I got to spend with her.
"Yeah, sure"
Jackpot. A huge grin pulled at the corners of my lips as my tongue poked my cheek causing her to giggle. I swear that little laugh was gonna be the death of me.
"So, uh, how about meet here on Saturday at ten o'clock in the morning that way my friend can give you an all-day tour?" I pointed my finger at her as I began to walk away cause I hear my friends shouting at me.
"Sure. Tell your friend not to be late!" She remarked and I nodded before heading out the door with the biggest smile in the world plastered on my face.
