They all sat in the hot tub for another half hour or so just hanging out and drinking beers. It was always good having times like this. To just forget about all the drama and just hang out with old friends. They were all so caught up it the moment they weren't even thinking about the conversation they had at the gas station earlier.

"Omg I have to pee so bad" Sarah laughs

"Omg fucking same" Kie shouts

They both laugh and get out of the hot tub and head to the chateau

It was just John b and JJ now

"So...JJ" John b says teasingly

"Uh oh" JJ laugh

"A little birdie told me.. that YOU of all people..wanted to like ..date date" John b says "like...be IN a relationship"

JJ blushes and fidgets his tongue around in his mouth trying to hide it.

"I might... yea" JJ shrugs

"JJ maybank in a relationship" John b processes "like a real life grown up relationship"

"Yea" he blushes again

"Hey Jay... make sure that you're sure you want to do this." John be says, his tone turning serious "don't hurt her. Just make sure you're really ready to do this."

"John b... ima be honest bro" he pauses thinking about whether or not he should actually say it. His eyes zoned out to the water in thought "I'm in love with her dude." He pauses again "how the fuck did that happen" he laughs

"Wow." John b says shocked he said it.

"God this is the worst." JJ says beginning to rant "I mean honestly the worst. I can't breathe, I can't think, I can't go a second without fucking thinking abt her bro. It's so fucking scary bro like honestly.. like what's gonna happen when I fuck this up. What's gonna happen when she realizes that she can do WAAY better than me... A part of me just wants to tap out now before I get too attached but I already am bro. I am in wayyyy over my head like honestly I don't know what to fucking do."

"Jayyy hey calm down it's okay." John be reassures. "Dude your not gonna fuck this up okay. She likes you back bro it's obvious"

"No but Not the way that I like her, dude it's literally impossible" JJ says "this is the grossest feeling ever bro"

"JJ. It's gonna be okay bro. Your just drunk rn so ur thinking the worst. But I promise you it's going to be okay" John b says

JJ takes a deep breathe

"Sorry.. that was a lot" JJ cringes "do me a favor, tomorrow just forget that this conversation ever happened okay"

"I gotcha buddy" John b says "I'm proud of you tho bro. Your finally fucking maturing"

JJ laughs.

Kie and Sarah come bursting out of the house laughing and stumbling over themselves

"Y'all are a mess" John b jokes

Sarah laughs as she walks up to John b and wraps her arms around his shoulders for support.

JJ was sitting on the rim of the hut tub and extended his hand out to help Kie get back in.

Sarah whispers something in John bs ear with a smirky smile. And John b face turns red.

"Yea we're gonna call it a night" John b says while shooting up and leading Sarah back to the house

"Grooosssss" Kie laughs

"Oh real discreet" JJ teases

They all laugh while they walk inside.

JJ turns and looks at Kie with a smile.  He zones out looking at her.

"What?" She laughs drunken

"Nothing" he smiles

"Tell me" she giggled

"Your just pretty, that's all" he mumbles

Kie blushes and leans back into the hot tub next to him.

"Kie..." jj says softly with a dazed look in his eye. "I'm in love you"

She smiles again

"Like really in love you" he says again

"Yea?" Kie says smiling

"I know you don't think I'm serious, and that I don't know what I'm doing, we'll I don't, but, I do know that I love you, kie. And I want you. All the time." He says looking her in the eye. "All the time"

Kie looks up to meet his eye contact. She reaches up to grab his hand. She fidgets loosely with his fingers.

"Come here" she says while gently pulling at his hand

JJ sinks into the water next to her

"JJ, I love you too" she says while still holding his hand "are you sure your ready for a relationship though?"

"No" he chuckles "I'm probably gonna do a lot of stupid shit" "but I'm never going to stop trying for you. Kiara, I'm still learning, but I'm ready. I want us. I want you. I want to be with you and you only."

"You want us?" Kie asks leading to a follow up

"I've never wanted something so bad in my life" JJ reassures

"You want just us. No other girls." She asks

"Yes kiara" JJ says again

"You promise" she asks softly

"Kiara I promise you. I want you. I want this." He says with a soft smile

"okay" she smiles

"so you be my girlfriend?" JJ asks knowing the answer

"Haha I never said that" she laughs while slowly leaning in to kiss him.

There lips meet at a smile and begin making out....
