Lane was working the day that they decided to go through with their little plan to get Kie and Sarah to like each other. Well, it was her plan, but she didn't like to admit that very much incase it went very wrong.
So, she let the guys execute the plan while she was closing up the cafe, praying to God that they didn't screw shit up. She's just locking the door when she feels a presence behind her, making her look up to catch the reflection of none other than Rafe Cameron. Lane groans, slowly turning around to face the last person in the world she wanted to see right now.
"We have a problem," He says before she can even open her mouth.
Lane looks him up and down, looking for his audacity to speak to her like that, "Will shooting you solve this problem? No? Then get out of my way." She tries to step around him but he blocks her way, '"Are you five?! Move." She pushes him harshly to the side and start to walk away from him, only to have him follow after her.
"Your little friend, John B, is living in my house." Lane shakes her head at him.
"Yes, your dad invited him, isn't that nice?" She asks sweetly, turning to face him, "Just like he invited you to leave." She pauses for a moment, watching his face turn to shocked at the fact that she knew that, "Yeah, having my little friend living with your family means that I know even more than I knew before."
Rafe takes a deep breath as she turns away from him and continues to walk. He follows her again, "You tell your little bitch of a friend to stay away from my family, especially Sarah."
"Or what?!" Lane yells, turning to look at him once again, "What are you gonna do, Rafe? Hit one of my friends in the back with a golf club? Oh, already did that. Get one of my friends arrested? Did that too." She starts making a list, "Have sex with me three times and not even try to make me orgasm either of the times? DID THAT TOO!" She throws her hands up, "The truth is, Rafe," She pokes her finger into his chest, "I am not, nor will I ever be, scared of a preppy, vineyard vines wearing ass bitch with daddy issues." She shoves him away from her hard, "So do me a favor, and never come near me or my friends ever again."
With that, she turns on her heel and takes quick strides to get away from him. This time he doesn't follow her but he does yell after her, "You're never going to be more than a pogue slut, Fallon!"
"At least pogues know how to make a woman finish, you asshole!" She shouts over her shoulder.
Lane regretted not taking her bike to work that day as the walk back to her house seemed longer than ever after her interaction with Rafe.
She finally makes it to her front door with anger and adrenaline still coursing through her veins and her ears perk up at the sound of music and laughter coming from the Chateau.
Instead of entering her house, she makes her way toward John B's house and relief washes over her as she sees Pope, John B, and JJ all gathered together outside.
"Hey, there she is!" John B cheers at the sight of her and Lane flashes him a sarcastic smile.
"Hey guys," she lets out a long breath. John B and Pope were settled in lawn chairs and JJ was lounging on the hammock, "Did the plan go okay?" she asks.
"Yeah, it went great." Pope says, "They were both pissed as hell but I think-"
Lane cuts him off, "great, awesome." She turns to JJ who was looking at her with a grin on his face, "JJ, I need you." She says, hoping he'll get the hint immediately.
He doesn't even sit up from the hammock, "I'm right here, baby, what you need?" He holds his arms out jokingly and the other boys laugh.
Lane clenches her jaw. Their window of opportunity was short. Lawson wouldn't be at work all night, "JJ," She says, a little more firmly, "I need you." Her eyes widen and she nods her head towards her house.
They stare at each other for a moment and Lane can almost see the gears turning in his head before the lightbulb goes off. His eyes widen and he sits upright quickly, almost falling out of the hammock, "Oh shit," He slides onto the ground, "See you guys later." He yells over his shoulder as Lane already has a hold of his hand and is pulling him up the hill toward her house.
"Use protection!" Pope calls after them.
JJ has barely any time to process what exactly is happening before he feels his back come in contact with Lane's bed. She's kicking off her shoes and throwing her bag and keys onto the ground in a matter of seconds and wastes no time in climbing on top of her stunned body.
"Are you-" His question is cut off by her lips connecting with his in a deep and passionate kiss. Her legs are placed firmly on either side of him so that she's straddling him and JJ's hands slide to her thighs, resting just below the hem of her denim shorts. "Lane, wait, slow down." He finally pulls away and looks at her, squeezing her thighs firmly.
"What? What's wrong?" She pants, looking down at his face in concern.
"I could ask you the same thing." He says, his hands moving to her face and cupping her cheeks gently, "You're not usually this...forward. Did something happen?"
Lane sighs, sitting back so her butt rests on his upper thighs and JJ props himself up on his elbows, ready to listen intently, "I just...I've been with a lot of shitty guys, JJ." She says softly, "And they were all just a replacement-they were all just me trying to fill the void that I knew only you could fill." She confesses to him, looking down at her hands as she traces shapes into his shirt, "And I know we don't know exactly what we're doing here and we both don't want to fuck it up but-" Lane grabs his face, looking deeply into his eyes, "I feel so good when I'm around you, JJ. You make me feel so safe and like nothing could ever happen to me. I never feel judged, or like you think I'm some Pogue slut who sleeps with every guy who breathes near here-" He cuts her off when he sees the tears forming in her eyes.
"Hey, hey," He tucks her hair behind her ears and grabs her cheeks, pushing them together so that her face is all squished up, "I have never and will not ever think that about you." He promises, "Lane, you're the most beautiful, intelligent, kind person I have ever known and the fact that you even want to be with me is something that I never thought would happen." Lane smiles at him, well, as much as she can smile with him still squeezing her face, "I want you in my life forever, Fallon." He tucks a stray piece of hair behind her ear.
"I want you in mine forever, too." She sniffs, the tears in her eyes now falling but not because she was embarrassed or ashamed, but because she had never felt so happy or loved in her entire life.
"Good," He smiles, leaning in and kissing her deeply, "Now, where were we?" His hands immediately go to her thighs again and he flips them over, earning an excited squeal from Lane who was now underneath him.
