*|| You and John B were returning together by car to the Chateau when John once again started the topic of you and Jj. He did this far too often which was already starting to slightly annoy you, because you thought it was all just in his head.

“He's calling you by your last name.” Said John B, glancing at you while his one hand was on the steering wheel.

You sighed slightly in annoyance, and your head was leaned against the windshield as you stared at the area you were passing. “That's not a thing John B.” You said, then directed your gaze to your friend.

“He remembers every single word you've ever said but he still pretends to be annoyed.” He said, with a slightly raised eyebrow, then after a moment he snorted a quiet laugh. “Classic.”

“JB you're really telling yourself this, this... this whole thing between me and him is platonic.” You stated at the moment when the boy had just parked in front of the Chateau, and Jj, Kie and Pope were sitting together on the terrace, waiting for you. ||*

Jj Pov:

I sat on the terrace drinking beer while Kiara and Pope debated a topic I completely did not understand. The moment I heard the sound of a car my gaze went in that direction. Seeing you get out of the car a slight smile appeared on my face. No matter how bad a day I was having, your company made it so that nothing else mattered.

“What's up {{last name}}?” I asked as if nothing ever happened, but seeing the slight smile appearing on your face and, consequently, the two little dimples on your cheeks, I couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment. “Don't smile at me like that or I'll think you have a crush on me.”

I raised my eyebrow slightly, although the truth was that it was you who had me wrapped around your finger, with every smile, every sarcastic comment, every argument we had, and every evening during which you made me feel needed.

But I couldn't tell you about how important you are to me because I couldn't risk losing you because of that, because I would never forgive myself.
