Serenading Sunshine - JJ Maybank

"She says she's not comin'."

"Why not?"

"What'd you do to her, John B?" I looked out the window to watch as Pope walked out of the wreck, only for John B to curse and hit the twinkies steering wheel with the palm of his hand, "Shit. Hang on. I'll deal with it."

He hopped suddenly, slamming the door shut in his rush before jogging inside, "hey I'ma get a drink real quick next door." JJ waved him off as he disappeared into the next building before he started moving, "what are you doing?"

I laughed at him as he crawled over the console and into the back with me, "this." He climbed over the back seat and tumbled down between the seat and the floor, "oh my god, JJ, are you okay?" I laughed at him moving to look over the seat as he sat up, "Yep, come on."

I rolled my eyes and crawled over the seat to sit with him, not a single misstep in my movements, "nice, graceful." I smiled, "why thank you, so why are we back here sunshine?" He smiled, pulling a baggie from his pocket and waving it around. I watched as he pulled a lighter out and the blunt from the bag, "Is that what I think it is?"

He smiled, "Oh yeah... Some sweet and salty, purple nurple." I leaned back against the window as he sparked up taking a few puffs with a smile on my face, before motioning me forward with his hand, I sat up to sit right beside him and lifted my hand, he ignored my hand even smacking it making me laugh, "nah nah, doing the pogue initiation baby."

I raised my brow, focusing on that specific name for only a second as he took a deep drag, pulling his fingers from his face, he grabbed my jaw with his other hand and pulled my face up close, to the point it would have looked like we were going to kiss, only stopping centimeters away from my face.

I opened my mouth and he blew out the smoke from his lungs watching as I breathed it in. His eyes dipping down to watch my lips before looking back up and into my eyes in a triangular motion.

Leaning back against the seat I smiled laughing, "that's not a pogue thing is it?" He laughed sheepishly, "maybe not," I knocked his knee, "could have just asked me to shotgun it."

He laughed at me and took another drag just to lean in again as my hand rested against his knee, blowing the smoke into my mouth again. He laughed with me, leaning back as well just when John B and Kiara walked out of the wreck, Pope appearing from the building over only a few seconds later.
