The Chateau

The Next Morning...

Kiara woke up in JJ's arms absolutely confused. She was wearing his clothes and he was just in his underwear. She felt his morning wood and slid out of his hold on her which woke him up.

JJ stretched his arms out and sat up in bed. "Sorry," he said realizing what she felt "How did you sleep?"

Kiara was trying to remember last night so she didn't answer right away "I am still tired."

"Well stay as long as you need. I'm gonna shower." JJ grabbed his towel and left the room.

Kiara started to panic...What happened last night? Alright, Kie, what is the last thing you remember...Wait, where did the night start out? I was at the beach for the party, I drank a lot. I must have been really drunk. Then you were at the Chateau. How did you get here. Had to have been JJ. Oh, no. Did I have sex with JJ? I am in his clothes, I am in his bed. I woke up in his arms, and he is just wearing his underwear. Oh my God. I ruined our friendship. What is wrong with me? Maybe it didn't happen? Would JJ really do that with me? Well he is a horny 18 year old boy. I could ask him, but that is would be weird, cause if we did and I didn't remember. I need to leave...

"Why did I get so drunk?" she asked herself out loud.

JJ came into the room with a towel wrapped at his waist. She couldn't help but stare. "I was wondering the same thing. Do you remember last night?"

Kiara didn't want to be that girl that couldn't remember "Ummm..."

JJ interrupted "Look, we don't need to talk about what happened here if you don't want to. Nothing that happened will affect our friendship, at least for me. Do you agree?"

"Yeah. Absolutely." Kiara realized that it must of happened, her and JJ slept together.

"I do have to ask. Why did you get so drunk in the first place? That isn't like you" JJ found some clothes to wear "you want to turn around?"

Kiara thought, why would he ask me to turn around after we just slept together. She turned around just because she still wasn't positive they slept together. She did remember why she got drunk, but she knew telling him would open up some of her past that she never shared. JJ moved across the room, Kiara turned a bit to see that he was fully dressed. JJ moved his pile of clothes to his bed so he could sit opposite of her.

"I got a letter, that upset me." Kiara tried to avoid what was in the letter by distracting him; "I need to wash my clothes." Kiara was excited to remembered some of last night... I took a shower and changed into JJ's clothes. Kiara hoped she would piece together the rest of the night.

"I put them in the wash last night when you were in the shower and just put them in the dryer." he smiled

Kiara had a huge smile on her face. She realized how great he was when she was in crisis. "Thank you JJ."

"Well you called me amazing last night and figured I should go the extra mile if I deserved such praise."

She got worried. I told him he was amazing. We definitely had sex. Oh lord, I can't go the rest of this day wondering.

JJ continued "A letter from who?"

Kiara looked down and whispered "Rafe."

JJ straightened his posture and looked concerned "What did he want?"

"He wanted to apologize" Kiara started "for what he did to me."

"Almost choking you?" JJ said standing up then he began to pace around the room

"Yeah...and for what he did during my Kook year"

"Kie what did he do to you?" JJ was no longer concerned, he was angry.

"I really, don't want to talk about it with a hangover." Kiara lied about the hangover, it was just a mild headache.

JJ was still reactive but he sat back down on the chair across from Kiara. JJ took a deep breath in and out. He wanted to know how Rafe could have gotten Kiara to get herself so drunk and then make-out with him. He wanted her to talk more but also knew pushing her to share might push her away. JJ ran his fingers through his wet hair. "When you want to talk. I am here for you."

Kiara was so grateful for their relationship. She was just very annoyed she couldn't remember what happened last night "Thank you JJ"

"I was going to make some coffee, do you want anything?"

Kiara yawned as she stood up from the bed "Water is probably best."

"Kie, you can go back to bed. Take it easy," JJ offered.

"I feel weird staying...in here..." she said realizing it was her first time in his bedroom. Normally she was on the pull-out.

"Don't. John B is with Sarah and Pope is not coming over until five. Stay as long as you need. Your stuff is almost dry." JJ stood back up and walked over towards her.

Kiara still didn't know what happened last night and got nervous as he walked towards her. He outstretched his arms and pulled her into a hug. It felt normal, it felt good, she allowed herself to be comfortable and hugged back. It was a quick hug, and part of her wanted it to last longer because it felt safe. She breathed in deeply and held onto it.

"Changing it up...I am hugging you this time." He smiled thinking about her multiple attempts to jump his bones last night

"Huh?"

"Ah, sorry, I promised I wouldn't bring up last night. I always do that, don't I?" JJ answered regretting that he made a slip.

"Right" Kiara started "It is okay. You know..." Kiara was going to ask what happened but got nervous to ask him. All of a sudden she was nervous around him. "I think I will stay," she smiled.

"Good. If you need me, I will be in the kitchen."

Kiara smiled as he walked away and got back in bed. It was her goal to remember what happened last night before Pope came over.

.

JJ sat out in the kitchen while Kiara slept. He called John B to check in after Kiara's phone kept buzzing with message notifications from him.

"Dude, all is good," JJ started the call.

"How is Kie? I tried texting her."

"She went back to bed actually."

"Oh, how did she fair through the night?"

JJ laughed and moved the call out to the front porch so Kie wouldn't hear, "Last night was insane. I have never seen her like that."

"Hold on, you have to tell me everything, let me just go outside," John B walked out of Sarah's house towards the pool "okay, what happened?"

"She was like all over me last night!" JJ said with underlying excitement.

"Meaning?" John B said impatiently.

"Kissed me numerous times" he chuckled "then I finally got her in your bed and she wakes up a few hours later puking in the bathroom."

John B exclaimed "She kissed you? Holy crap!"

"Dude, it gets better. So she takes a shower but has no clothes so I told her to come to my room to borrow some. Man the fantasies of her in my tank flooded through my brain, but it legit came true."

"You two had sex? What?"

"No, not sex. She tried, but I denied her. I couldn't be that gross guy to bed her while drunk."

"Don't you get with tipsy girls all the time?" John B questioned.

"Kie is different. I knew she would regret it in the morning. So she just slept in my bed and..." JJ finished with a joke "I got to be the big spoon."

"No shit! Well, what happened this morning?"

"She opened up a bit that she got a letter from Rafe that upset her, that was the reason she drank so much."

"Why on earth is he writing her?"

"Kie said it was an apology letter, she started to share more and then shut down on me. I told her to get some sleep since she was tired."

"Well you are good caretaker and now I don't owe you anything."

"I don't follow..."

"You said that Pope and I owed you last night but you got to make out with your dream girl so, you should really be thanking us for setting you up with that situation."

"That is not the way I imagined to be with her. And honestly I think she has no idea what happened between us."

John B burst out laughing, "JJ, this is gonna kill her to not know if you two hooked up."

"I know," he laughed "I just wonder which happens first...she puts the puzzle together or asks me?"

"She is probably wide awake in bed trying to get her head straight. I don't see her lasting long not knowing."

"Well, I just hope she opens up about Rafe so we don't have a round two of getting drunk. As much as I enjoyed waking up to her, I am worried"

"Me too, I will ask Sarah if there was anything that happened between Rafe and Kie during her Kook year."

"Thanks man, talk you later," JJ hung up the phone and headed back in the house.
