A/N: Enjoy! Please leave a review!

Before she knew it, they were two weeks into the tour and had covered the majority of California. The itinerary was bizarre at best - rather than a linear tracking from one place to the next, they had jumped up and down the coastline with no sense or logic.

After an exciting evening in Seattle, the buses were now making their way back down towards Utah, with the girls having taken the long drive day as an opportunity to sleep late on the bus.

The five girls on the Olympic team were sharing a bus of their own, while three other buses had been commandeered for the other members of the tour. For this reason, JJ hadn't crossed paths majorly with Jordyn Wieber yet, but even so, she could tell it was still icy between the two of them. As she sat there that morning, watching the scenery whip by, she wondered if Jordyn would ever forgive her. But then again, it wasn't something that needed to be forgiven. JJ had made the team fair and square, had come away with the most medals of all the girls… and Jordyn was just going to have to live with it.

"What's up with you, JJ?"

Startled back to reality, JJ looked up to find Aly sitting on the couch opposite her, a curious expression on her face. Glancing out the window, JJ realised she must have been lost in her own world for quite some time - the scenery outside had started to change as they drove along.

"You're pretty quiet as it is, but I feel like you're starting to set a world record for the least amount of words spoken in a day," Aly chuckled, flipping her hair back over her shoulder.

"Yeah, actually now that Aly mentions it, you have been pretty quiet since tour started," McKayla chimed in as she sashayed down the bus towards them, Kyla in tow. Both were still in their pyjamas, their hair in the usual disarray of sleep. "What gives?"

"It's nothing," JJ said, giving them a small smile, her hand tightening around her phone as she spoke.

"Oh come on, Jayje… we need some juicy tour gossip," Aly giggled as Kyla dropped down beside her. McKayla remained standing in the aisle, her arms bracing her against the seats either side of her.

"And what makes you think I can provide any?" JJ rebutted, cracking a grin.

"You know…," McKayla mused, completely ignoring JJ's question. A thoughtful look crossed her face. "You've been on your phone a lot the last few days. And normally you don't go on your phone that much"

"What are you, an amateur P.I.?" JJ laughed, but even as she did, she could feel the heat starting to creep up her cheeks.

"Are you talking to Will?"

The question from Aly was so sudden that JJ didn't have time to arrange her face before she reacted. Just seconds later, Aly's eyes had widened as McKayla's grin grew even bigger.

"Something happened after London. Didn't it?" the younger girl asked knowingly. JJ felt her cheeks flame red, which only made the girls laugh. She lifted her hands, clutching her phone to her chest as she tried to figure out what to say. It wasn't that she was ashamed… she just hadn't given any thought to tackling the task of telling people about them.

"Look at how red she's turning, that's even better than Ky!"

"Come on JJ. Spill it," Aly pushed.

"I… you guys are gonna make fun of me"

"No, we're gonna live vicariously through you! Did you suck his dick?"

The bus erupted into laughter as JJ turned a final furious shade of red and hastily shook her head at McKayla. "Wha- no!" she stammered.

"Mac, JJ's a good girl, not like you," Aly teased through giggles.

"He kissed me," JJ cut in, pulling their attention back towards her. Aly and Kyla's faces lit up, both of them letting out a little squeal, while McKayla smirked knowingly at her, rocking back on her heels with an air of pride hanging around her.

"So are you official?"

"N-not yet. We're going to talk after tour," JJ said weakly, silently willing the flush to leave her face as the girls grinned at her from all directions.

"Oh my god that's like two months! Why didn't you lock him down before you left, I mean, he's clearly keen!" Aly shrieked.

"Because I didn't want to label it and then go away for two months… besides… he said he'll wait because he's felt this way about me since we were eight"

"That's so sweet," Kyla gushed. "So what happened when he kissed you?"

"OOH yes!" McKayla squealed, suddenly dropping down onto the sofa beside JJ. "Details!"

JJ let out a heavy sigh, shifting where she was sitting and setting her phone down beside her. "It was the day I got home… my parents had invited a few of our friends and family over to celebrate everything. I had to take my bags upstairs, so Will helped me, and we were up there for a while just talking. And I was showing him the medals, and then… he just got… really close to me, and it felt like everything just slowed down. Next thing I knew, he was kissing me"

"What did it feel like?" Aly asked, her voice much quieter than before.

"Like I was flying," JJ said before she could catch herself. Her cheeks started to turn pink again, but she continued to speak regardless. "I just felt so… so happy. And he was so… I don't know how to describe it. Like… soft, and warm, and I just felt so comfortable with him"

"You're gonna kill me with cuteness," Aly said through a beaming grin. "And see you worried in London for nothing! He did like you in the end!"

"Guarantee you'll have sucked his dick by Christmas"

"McKayla!" JJ admonished, slapping her friend's knee. The girls started to laugh, none harder than McKayla, who clearly was enjoying her own brand of inappropriate humour.

"Have you told anyone?" Kyla asked gently, wanting to steer the conversation away from McKayla's potential to make more jokes.

"My sister-in-law. But that's it. I want to know… what it is before we go public with anything. I mean… I think I know what it is. But nothing is official yet"

"You guys are gonna be the cutest couple," McKayla sighed happily, leaning over and wrapping her arms around JJ. "I don't even know what Will looks like, but I'm sure he's gorgeous, just like you"

JJ smiled, patting McKayla's arm. "Thanks Mac"

"He is pretty gorgeous, but JJ comes up to like his elbow," Aly giggled. "No idea how the sex is gonna work"

"Aly," JJ groaned, her cheeks turning red yet again. "Please don't, I'm not-"

"I know, I'm just teasing," Aly laughed. "You're so easy to embarass!"

Shaking her head, JJ sat up, picking up her phone from where it sat beside her. She glanced down at the screen, finding a new text from Will. As she read it, her chest filled with warm butterflies, a feeling that was entirely new to her, yet one she was growing accustomed to.

I didn't think this would be so difficult, but I really miss you. Hope you're having fun with the girls :)
