You're back? // JJ Maybank

Chapter 31

I had done changed and was drinking a beer with John B and Pope, when JJ walked back inside. He came over to me grinning really big and pulling me close to him to kiss my forehead.

"You look beautiful" he whispers to me

"Thank you" I say

"You do have a swimsuit on right?" He asks me

"Duh" I say giving him a grin

"Good girl" he says giving me another smile, causing my heart to skip a few beats, before he walks over to John B whispering something to him and earning a huge smile and nod from John B

"You ready peach?" JJ turns to me reaching a hand out for me to take, which I gladly accept before he grabs a few beers off the bar and leads the way outside and to Twinkie.

"What are we doing?" I ask

"You'll see" he says sending me a wink as he opens the door for me.

He gets in the driver seat and immediately takes my hand in his before starting the car and driving down the road.

The whole ride was filled with laughter, singing at the top of our lungs, and talking about anything and everything until we rolled to a stop not far from the beach. JJ shot me a grin before jumping out and hurrying to the passenger door before I could even think about touching it. He held it open and held out his hand for me to take

"My lady" he said bowing a little making me laugh

"You're a dork" I grin taking his hand as I stepped out.

"You love it" he smirked at me before pulling the two surfboards off the top of the van.

"I would never admit to that" I argue

"I can just tell peaches" he said shooting me a wink making me roll my eyes playfully, "always rolling them eyes at me" he complained leaning the board against the van before opening the back door and grabbing a picnic basket out.

"You'll survive" I say patting him on the back laughing

"I'm sure I will" he says going to attempt to pick up both boards along with the basket.

"J, I can get something" I said immediately reaching out to grab something and he immediately looks at me defeated when he realizes two boards under one arm is gonna be a little difficult with a basket in the other.

"....fine..." he groaned as I reached out for my board to put under my arm.

"Thank you for trying, but I can always help" I said and he nods

"I know, I just want this to go good" he says hopeful

"It going good won't depend on you not being able to tote everything or not" I assure him.

We walk down towards the beach finding a spot near a few trees with some shade laying the boards down. I help JJ put the blanket down.

"So it's not much, but I made sandwiches, turkey and cheddar is still your favorite right? Then there's a few other things, pickles too" he said pulling everything out of the basket like a kid in a candy store, all I could do was just stand there and admire him. The fact he still remembers turkey and cheddar sandwiches are my favorite, pickles are one of my favorite snacks. How could you not fall for him?

"That's right... right? you can have mine if you don't want it" JJ said quickly noticing me just staring at him

"No no, sorry, yes, it's still my favorite, thank you" I say standing on my tippy toes and placing my hand on the back of his head pulling his face down to mine so I could kiss him, as he placed his hands on my waist. We pull away but I wrapped my arms around his neck giving him a hug, leaving him still hunched over some. I felt his arms wrap around my waist as he stood up straight, taking me completely off the sand. I wrapped my legs around him quickly before pulling my head away to look at him.
