this is part two, read part one here.

Your sunglasses that were once perched on your head, now sat on the bridge of your nose in order to block out the blazing rays of the sun on this record breaking, hot day of 102°. The sand underneath your toes felt soft, yet crunchy at the same time. A cool, light breeze had your hair blowing sideways that you decided to keep down for the moment, scrunchie ready and on hand around your wrist. The water was calm enough to be safe for those that just wanted to play in the water, but still garnished big enough waves for surfers to ride comfortably behind the scattered swimmers. There wasn’t a cloud in sight, which meant you were going to need help lathering sunscreen on your skin by your ever helpful and willing boyfriend — Jungkook.

Ironically, when you first met Jungkook two years ago, it was raining. The complete opposite of how the weather is today.

Your outfit was soaked through, your feet hurt, and you cursed the weatherman that lied to you that very same morning when it randomly started to downpour on your unsuspecting, very unprepared, head. Apparently, Jungkook had more of an affinity with weather than you did, and could tell by the clouds alone that there was a slight chance of rain, making the wise choice of wearing casual, but warm clothes, just incase.

He quite literally saved your ‘cute ass’, his words not yours, from dying of hypothermia that day by giving you his oversized hoodie to wear while you waited with him under the bus stop awning for the rain to let up. Spoiler alert, it never did. And right as he was about to offer you a ride when his showed up before yours, the bus came. So, due to his quick thinking, he wrote down his name and number on your arm with a note that offered you to call him if interested in going out on a date. If you weren’t a ghost, that is. You never failed to tease him for that, and always attempted to jump scare him whenever possible. It was a running joke between you two at this point.

Deciding to call him the next day and schedule a date, the rest, as they say, was history.

*******

Jungkook was strides ahead of you, Go-Pro in hand, as he walked through the various beach goers to get a closer view of the vast ocean that lay in front of him. He told you prior to coming, that he didn’t want to miss a single thing on this little getaway trip with you, seeing as lately it’s been very few and far between for you two to have a moment to yourselves. You personally didn’t mind the idea, and in fact, you encouraged it.

Hiking up the bag of supplies and goodies alike that weighed you down with its thick shoulder strap that was secured on your shoulder, your feet sinking deeper than usual into the sand from its added weight, you slowly trailed behind the eager, doe eyed, male with a huff.

“A little help would be nice!” You hollered at his matching Hawaiian flower themed short sleeve shirt and swim trunk wearing figure.

“Sorry, sorry!”

Walking briskly toward your heaving figure, he immediately took over in securing the weighted bag onto his own shoulder, and it made you only semi angry when you saw how he held it with so much ease.

Stupid big, sexy, muscles.

“Geez, baby. What did you pack in this thing?” He jested at you playfully, reaching out to grab your hand with his unoccupied one to guide you to a spot he deemed as perfect for your beach day.

“The essentials, you know? Blanket, towels, food, drinks, sun block for your pale skin—,” his scoff next to you is what cut you off, as you snicker in amusement at his reaction.

“Says the one who looked like a literal ghost when I first saw her from how pale she is.” He retorted playfully, knocking his elbow into your side.

You rolled your eyes at the constant reminder of your first meeting that never fails to come up in discussion one way or another. As he came to a stop, he let the heavy bag drop surreptitiously onto the hot sand and let go of your hand to dig through and find the large beach blanket you packed. Holding it up in victory with a cheesy, bunny toothed smile, you grab one end of the blanket without needing being told to help him lay it out evenly.

Once the blanket is down, do you both plop your butts on top with a content sigh as you stare out into the vast open ocean in front of you, allowing the natural sounds around you from the ocean and people alike to lull you into a meditative state. One that’s broken by the volleyball that rolled in between you from a game being played not too far away from your spot of choice.

A tall, perfectly curved, barely there bikini wearing, long haired, bright smiled woman that looks about the same age as you two, bounds up next to the blanket on the side where Jungkook currently sits. She’s close, so close in fact, that you’re able to make out the butterfly tattoo designed in intricate detail that lays directly in between her rather large sized breasts. The tip of the wings that only slightly curve against them, look as if they’re moving from the way they bounce when she jogs over.

With a sickeningly sweet voice she asks for it back, and even has the nerve to bend over with her hands on her knees to jut her boobs out in your boyfriend’s equally as flustered and surprised face. He glances at you out of his peripheral and you see the way his Adam’s apple bobs from nervousness. Your eyes narrow into slits as you dare him to look anywhere but the beach goer female’s face.

He’s smart. He knows better. So, instead of greeting the female, he angles his body in your direction more.

“Baby? You wanna grab the volleyball for—,”

“Hey! No worries, man. I’ll grab it–,”

What looks to be the male version of the female struts over in a Speedo and unabashedly makes his way to the front of your beach blanket to bend over and pick up the volleyball himself. As he’s straightening himself up, Jungkook notices how his eyes rake over your own oblivious bikini clad figure as he flashes you a pearly white smile.

“You two should join us. We could use a few more players.”

You and Jungkook spare a side long glance at each other, and you both answer them at the same time.

“No, thank you.”

“Nah, we’re good.”

The unexpected duo just shrug your responses off with indifference and make their way back to the previously paused game and continue as if they weren’t just trying to bait you with ulterior motives and admittedly, very fit bodies. The female’s specifically made you glance at your not fit figure with a purse of your lips.

Jungkook saw you staring at your stomach and assumed you were hungry.

“Want to eat some lunch? I made sure to make your favorite sandwiches! With extra pickles this time.” His wide smile slowly melted off his face when you didn’t react to his previous words. That was a red flag in his book, knowing you absolutely loved extra pickles on almost all your food.

You were lost in a self criticizing world of your own, eyes finding various spots and sections on your body that you deemed to be flaws in this cruel world that wanted to do nothing but depict the concept of what perfection should look like.

His words sounded like as if you were underwater, yet you were no where near it. It wasn’t until he placed a hand on your lower back that it woke you from your reverie. Along with his hand was a cooling sensation that made goosebumps appear on your skin.

You blinked a few times, head turning in an attempt to see what exactly your boyfriend was doing. His hands glided all around your back and made their way towards your tensed up shoulders that he gently massaged as he lathered the white, creamy, decently smelling, sunblock on you. Your eyebrows pulled together in confusion.

“Koo? I thought we were going to eat?”

“If we swim first, we’ll work up a better appetite and not cramp up while in the water.”

“Oh, okay.”

He squirted more sunblock into his hands and rubbed them together before placing them on your arms as he kneeled in between your legs on the blanket, his body effectively blocking the sun for a moment as his figure loomed over yours. Angling his body in a way to block not only the sun, but also potential prying eyes, he changed course from your shoulders and down to your chest, making quick work of the skin that was visible. Hunching over, he then moved on to your sides and stomach, the current area of choice for his sunblock assault made you reflexively suck in your stomach as much as you could to feel more attractive.

His eyes flickered to yours at this, though you were pointedly looking over his shoulder at the ocean water when he did so. Maneuvering his body further down the blanket, he didn’t say a word about it, choosing to finish the task of your legs and feet before bringing up the topic. He grunted out a sound of concentration as he made sure to lather every nook and cranny, taking pride that whenever he was the one to do the deed for you, it never failed to result in you not being sunburnt.

“You’re beautiful, you know.”

Your eyes snap to his waiting ones, him still kneeling between your legs as he rubs the excess sunblock on his own visible skin. Helping him like he helped you, you squirted some sunblock on your hands and began lathering what skin you could reach from your position. Within no time, you both were ready for the water.

His hands grab yours once he’s up on his feet to pull you up with him. The ocean kisses the sand of the beach not too far ahead from you, and he leads you towards it, letting go of your hand once you can feel the water rush over your bare feet on the now cool sand to get the Go Pro ready yet again.

While he’s fiddling with the settings, he throws another unexpected compliment your way.

“I love that color on you, it makes your eyes pop in the best way.”

You tug the sunglasses that were perched on your nose down as you look at him over the frames. He’s still not looking at you, and your lip twitches as you fight the smile that wants to form. Of course he would notice that you were in one of your icky moods, and this was his usual way of plucking you out of it without directly confronting you about it. He knows you don’t do well with confrontation.

“Alright. This looks good.”

He nods his head in response to his statement and maneuvers the camera lens in your direction. You hear the shutter as he clicks picture after picture of your shy face that gradually gets less covered from Jungkook fighting you on pushing your hands away from hiding your face. In the last shot, you finally reward him with a wide smile from how much the whole scenario has made you laugh.

He gives a fist pump upon reviewing the pictures and plants a sloppy, wet, kiss on your lips.

“You’ve got a face for a smile, you know?”

You shove your flushed face into his chest as you mumble a half hearted ‘shut up’ into it. His chest rumbles underneath your embarrassed face as he plants kiss after kiss on top of your head, eyes closing as he inhales the notes of lavender and vanilla that permeates from your hair, and he sighs in content cause it’s just so you.

With the Go Pro securely attached to his wrist, he gives your ass a light tap to get your attention – it works. Looking up at him from your position on his chest, his eyes are holding the ever slightest hint of mischief in them. When you tense up, he knows you’re getting suspicious and decides to execute his hidden plan of action.

Swiftly, and effortlessly, he bends down to secure one of his arms along the back of your knees and one behind your back, shifting you so you’re being carried bridal style. Not giving you a chance to react, he’s sprinting you both into the small, crashing waves and you’re holding onto your sunglasses and his neck for dear life as you’re shrieking in both delight and fear. He gives a loud ‘whoop’ as he careens you both until you’re fully immersed underneath the clear, blue water – and, even then – he refuses to let go of you.

Both of your eyes open under the water, your sunglasses now off and clutched in your hand, and you give each other closed mouth smiles as various bubbles rise up to the surface from your noses, a sign to other beach goers and lifeguards alike that you haven’t, in fact, drowned. For a moment, you hear nothing, and it’s just you and Jungkook. The seconds feel like hours as you both savor the blissful descent. Out of nowhere, he surges forward to give you a kiss under water, and you’re chuckling into it as he tickles your sides, the Go Pro light blinking as it captures the core memory of you two for years to come.

Your heads burst out of the water as you suck in a much needed breath of fresh, crisp, air. Your arm is still secured around his neck, and due to his blessed height, your body is half in and half out of the water that twinkles beneath the sun’s reflective rays.

“Jeon Jungkook, you’re lucky I love you.”

You lightly smack his chest in reproach, not mad in the least bit – or, sad, you come to realize with a feeling of sheer warmth emanating within your chest despite the coldness of the water around you.

“I am lucky you love me, you’re right.” His gaze is serious, voice resolute, and for once you don’t shy away from his loving words – you embrace them, let them encompass you in light and love that you know you deserve.

“Scratch that, I’m in love with you, you big cheese ball.”

He nuzzles his nose with yours and gives you his signature bunny toothed smile.

“Who would’ve thought that a little rain could bring so much joy?”

You hum in agreement.

“You can’t have a rainbow without a little rain.”

He snorts in amusement.

“Now who is the cheesy one?”

“I learn from the best.”

A few moments between Armand and Marius that I love ❤️

Marius rescuing Amadeo from certain death, caring for him, loving him, cherishing him, and making the boy smile for the first time in a long time.

Amadeo is sick with a fever and he pushes his cheek to Marius' cheek to cool off (TVA pg 51)

Marius hires four new chefs after Amadeo tells him the Arabian food he ate for three days in the brothel was better than the food he was served at home (TVA pg 65)

Marius' beautiful painting of Amadeo

Armand writing a note to Marius telling him to start acting like a proper master 😂

Armand seducing Marius so utterly that he breaks his years-long fasting and drinks from him. (TVA pg 58-59)

Amadeo grabbing a battle axe and smashing down Marius' door when he would not let him in and talk to him - when Marius is being stubborn and emotional ❤️🪓 (TVA pg 79)

"Sir, mind my Master. You weary him, and in weariness he is a perfect crank" - Armand speaking of Marius (TVA pg 102)

Marius tells Bianca he loves her for her heart and for protecting Amadeo (TVA pg 215)

"You love me," I said, "as I am now, even more than before." "Oh, yes," he said. He hugged me roughly and kissed my throat all over, now, and my shoulders, and began to kiss my chest. "I can't hurt you I can't snuff out your life with an accidental embrace. You're mine, of my flesh and of my blood." (TVA pg 158) (the cute aggression! 🥹)

"Marius must have seen this hesitation. He passed his right hand through the very fire of the torch, and touched his warmed fingers to my cheek. Then he kissed me where this warmth hovered, and his kiss was warm." (TVA pg 179)

"I gasped. I turned my head and fell stupidly into Marius's arms. "Don't cry, Amadeo," he said tenderly in my ear." (TVA pg 187)

Marius and Armand drink from the same victim, and sometimes Marius holds the victim just for Armand to drink from (TVA pg 165)

Armand goes to sit and write after Marius punishes him. Marius approaches him and Armand knows it's to kiss him. Despite having just been punished, he lifts his head for the kiss even before Marius bends down. Marius confessing later he hates punishing Amadeo (TVA pg 206)

Marius hates punishing Amadeo, and always gives him kisses or pleasure afterwards. Amadeo always lavishes it.

How they nearly always greet each other with hugs and kisses, no matter the circumstances.

Armand mentioning that he avoids Marius because he is afraid he will fall completely back in love

Their mutual obsession with technology - While Armand is obsessing over blenders and microwaves, Marius is in awe over film and cameras.

"Marius stared at the distant house. My world trembles and I think of him, my Amadeo, my Armand." (QotD pg 242)

"Yes, my old child...." he murmured. He felt the longing for Armand again like music, like Bartók's violin phrases played in a remote and safe place where there was all the time in the world to hear. (QotD pg 248)

"Centuries ago in a palazzo in Venice, he had tried to capture in imperishable pigment the quality of this love. What had been its lesson? That in all the world no two souls contain the same secret, the same gift of devotion or abandon; that in a common child, a wounded child, he had found a blending of sadness and simple grace that would forever break his heart? This one had understood him! This one had loved him as no other ever had." (QotD)

"I love you," Marius whispered suddenly, passionately as a mortal man might. "I have always loved you. I wish that I could believe in anything other than love at this moment; but I can't." (QotD)

It was then that Marius came. He was trembling. "Unburnt, whole," he whispered. "My son." He had that wretched neglected old gray cloak over his shoulders, but I didn't notice then. He embraced me at once, which forced my girl and my boy to step away. They didn't go far, however. I think they were reassured when they saw me put my arms around him and kiss him several times on the face and mouth, as we had always done so many years ago. He was so splendid, so softly full of love." (TVA)

Turn Coat live blog

“I answered it and Morgan, half his face covered in blood, gasped, “The Wardens are coming. Hide me. Please.”

His eyes rolled back into his skull and he collapsed.

Super.” pg. 15 Ha and what a way to start the book.

“Truth be told, I still had nightmares occasionally, about being pursued by an implacable killer in a gray cloak,” pg. 18 Yep Morgan is the worst.

“Last place anyone would look for him be my guess.” pg. 18 Yep

“Oh bite me, wizard boy,” pg. 19 Ha

“I am. I’m helping him because I know what it feels like to have the Wardens on your ass for something you haven’t done.” pg. 22 Yep

“So. How are the headaches?” pg. 22 Bonnie! Would Bonnie’s conception count as an immaculate conception?

“Thank you-“

“Oh shut up” I said, shuddering. “Neither of us wants that conversation.” pg. 28 Ha

“Aleron LaFortier is dead.” pg. 29 I’m not too sad that he’s dead.

“Gosh. That was irrational of them, to jump to that conclusion.” pg. 30 Ha

“I went to bed two nights ago. I woke up at LaFortier’s private study in Edinburgh, with a lump on the back of my head and a bloody dagger in my hand. pg. 31 Suspicious

“Stars and stones. What on God’s green earth was that thing?” pg. 45 What did Harry see? Harry think of your poor brain and psyche. He’s got to stop poking things with his Sight. It’s bad for him. You’ve got brain damage now you’ve got to be careful.

Oh good Harry got to Georgia and Billy’s house

What is Harry muttering about the numbers?

Well now Harry’s using horrible memories to get use to the Sight of the Skinwalker.

“Kirby was the only clearly lit object in sight-an ideal target.” pg. 56 Oh no

Oh no Kirby :(

How long does someone need to be dead for it to be considered necromancy and not resurrection?

“You nuked it” pg. 77 So cool

Zero is strange

“That’s why this place is called Zero, I realized. Zero limits. Zero inhibitions. Zero restraints. It was a place of perfect, focused abandon, of indulgence, and it was intriguing and hideous, nauseating and viscerally hungry.” pg. 88 Not a fan of Zero

They seriously got a wanted poster for Morgan. Old school wild west style. Ha

Madeline? Like back in White Night with the thrall?

“You are Jessica Rabbit, right?” I asked. “All slinky and overblown and obvious?” pg. 102 Ha

Good for Thomas and Justine for attacking Madeline

“You aren’t doing her any favors by going easy on her, Dresden,” he said, more quietly “You aren’t preparing her for exams. She doesn’t receive a bad mark if she fails.” pg. 129 What happens if Molly fails the exam?

“She threw stones at me” pg. 129 Luccio why would you do that? Why not snowballs or water balloons? Does Luccio and Morgan have a paternal substitute similar to Harry and Ebenezar? Maybe that’s why Morgan lost it back in Dead Beat?

“Pain is an excellent motivator,” he said “And teaches one to control one’s emotions at the same time.” pg. 129 No that’s stupid.

Morgan stop calling Thomas a “it”

“You did a bad thing once” I said “It doesn’t make you a monster”

“What if it does?” pg. 134 No Molly isn’t a monster. Now Molly feels like a monster. I’m reminded of when Harry had similar thoughts back in Proven Guilty. Morgan sucks

“The Council is not divided” pg. 139 Oh Morgan you sweet summer child. Open your eyes and stop being such a Council supporter.

“You two play nice.” pg. 142 Ha

Alright let’s see if I can sus out this traitor. So it’s got to be one of the senior council members or staff. Merlin, McCoy, Listen-to-Winds, Librety, Mai, Gatekeeper, and Peabody. I don’t think it’s McCoy as he’s trying to get rid of the black council. I don’t think it’s Listen-to-Winds as he’s got a friendly raccoon buddy. I don’t think it’s Merlin as why would he be the traitor he’s in charge? I don’t think it’s Gatekeeper as he seems to be on Harry’s side. I don’t think it’s Mai as she’s got those guardian temple dogs. I don’t know enough about Liberty and Peabody. But Liberty seems to be on Harry’s side. So by some less than logical reasoning I thinks it’s Peabody as he’s the White Council scribe so he probably knows things. And he talked to Merlin at Molly’s trial.

“The only wizard I see less frequently than he is you.” pg. 153 Interesting I wonder why?

“When I’d been young man, hauled before the Council to be tried as a violator of the First Law of Magic, they brought me to Edinburgh. The musty, wet, mineral smell of the place had been almost all I knew while I waited, hooded and bound, in a cell for a full day. I remember being horribly cold and tortured by the knots my muscles worked themselves into after so many hours tried hand and foot. I remember feeling more alone than ever in my life, while I awaited whatever was going to happen.

I had been scared. So scared. I was sixteen. It was the same smell, and that scent had the power to animate the corpses of some of my darkest memories and bring them lurching back into the front of my thoughts.

Psychological necromancy.” pg. 158 Therapy please. This is trauma.

“You have too much history with Morgan. This has got to be dispassionate, and you’re just about the lest dispassionate person I know.” pg. 161 Ha

“As the mind grows older, it gets established.” pg. 161

Interesting that with time a person can’t be mind controlled. That does bring into question Luccio and her schrodinger cat position. As while her soul and personhood is centuries old the body she’s in isn’t. So would she be able to be mind controlled?

“Peabody gulped” pg. 164 Suspicious

“What he doses isn’t dramatic, but his organizational skills have been a critical asset since the outbreak of the war.” pg. 164 That would make him a good spy.

How did Ebenezar know that Harry was holding Morgan?

Did LaFortier not use a death curse? Why didn’t he use it?

So LaFortier was the point between the White Council and the other countries that weren’t in the Council.

In every scene Peabody in so far he’s having people sign paper. Could it be part of his plan? Hmm

“Peabody stopped before the Merlin, blinking.” pg. 182 Suspicious

“You are an untidy person.”

“I put my hand over my heart, grinning at him “Ow” pg. 184 Ha

Why does Peabody keep wanting to get people to sign paper? Is that part of his plan? An inkwell, seriously? Is it the inkwell? Is it an evil magic inkwell? I bet it is. Who uses inkwells nowadays. Just use a pen. There is such a thing as taking an aesthetic too far.

“Either LaFortier chose not to use it, or he was incapable of using it.” pg. 191 Interesting

So either LaFortier didn’t use his death curse or he couldn’t use it. If he couldn’t use it there aren’t many ways to counter a death curse. A sniper rifle could do it like what Kincaid said. But the wounds were defensive and no gunshot wounds. There aren’t many melee weapons that could stop magic. Wait hold up isn’t the Warden swords anti magic. So they can fight warlocks. So anyone with a sword could have killed LaFortier. The people who we’ve seen have swords are Morgan, Carlos, and Luccio. I don’t think it would be someone we don’t know. It isn’t Morgan as he claims he didn’t do it. And came to Harry for help. I don’t think it’s Carlos as he hasn’t really been mentioned. So that just leaves Luccio. With the mention of mind control magic and Peabody I think he mind controlled Luccio and got her to kill LaFortier. That brings us to Morgan and his suspicions of two day unconsciousness. I don’t think he was unconscious. I think he saw Luccio either kill LaFortier or stand over his body and take the blame.

Oh no Thomas is in trouble

Binder what kind of name is that?

“Binder gave me a gimlet stare. Then he rolled his eyes and shot a brief glance over his shoulder-then did a double take as his mouth dropped open.” pg. 212 Ha

“Ernest Armand Tinswhistle” pg. 213 Never mind his real name is so much worse.

“The sliver oak leaf.” pg. 222 Oh no

“Titania’s retainer told me. The entire Summer court has been laughing about it for months.” pg. 222 Ha

“I took it and pitched it into the haunted woods.” pg. 223 Ha

Toot-toot!

“‘Accomplice is an ugly word. So is ‘penitentiary’” pg. 233 Ha

“He is kind of a drama queen.” pg. 237 Ha

“Who said anything about magic?” pg. 237 What else is Molly going to do?

“I think your mother would scream bloody murder” pg. 237 I’m screaming bloody murder.

“Morgan made a low, appreciative sound as the door closed.” pg. 237 MORGAN NO

“Maybe. But that was just…just wrong.” pg. 237 Yep I agree completely. Wrong

“Received, one six foot traditional Ozark walking club from Mr. Smart-ass.

That’s Doctor Smart-ass to you. I didn’t spend eight years in insult collage to be called Mister.” pg. 241 Ha

“I’m sorry sir,” she said “but the addition-counseling center is on twenty-six.” pg. 242 Ha

“I debated several answers and decided to start things off by annoying her.

I know. Me. Shocking, right?” pg. 245 Ha

“Her eyes were wide, her expression a mixture of terror and awe as she stared up me.” pg. 252 Evelyn what did you see in the soul gaze. Why terror and awe?

Oh lovely another Mexican stand off now with Luccio.

“There are monsters from whom I’d expect better behavior, once they had accepted my hospitality. What’s more, they’d give it to me.” pg. 257 Ha

“Bitch, I know you didn’t just say that.” pg. 258 Whoa there Molly let’s calm down.

“I can’t believe I’m about to say this,” I said. “So think real careful about where this is coming from. Have you people ever considered talking when you’ve got a problem?” pg. 259 Ha

“Sorry,” I told him at once. “Four-footed nonvocalizing company expected.” pg. 260 Ha

“You,” I asked “and Morgan?” pg. 262 What? I didn’t clock that at all. I’m just as bad as Harry. I didn’t see Luccio/Harry, Lara/Harry, and now Morgan/Luccio. So Morgan loves Luccio romantically. He must be so upset that Luccio and Harry are dating.

“Who do I look like Kissinger?” pg. 266 I hope not. Kissinger is a terrible person. He commented war crimes.

“Is there any reason this can’t be civil visit?” pg. 270 Yes you brought Harry with you.

“Well. I couldn’t argue with that, but the words made Anastasia’s eyes narrow dangerously.” 277 I’m with Harry and Lara on their views on the White Council.

“It was Thomas’s necklace.” pg. 296 Oh no Thomas

“Because people in helpless situations come to you for help on a regular basis. And you help them. It’s what you do.” pg. 300 Yep that’s Harry in a nutshell.

“I always enjoy dealing with a man possessing a well-developed sense if self-worth.” pg. 302 Harry doesn’t have that.

“At what point did you forget that I am a vampire Dresden? A monster. A habitually neat, polite, civil, and effective monster. Her eyes drifted down the hallway, to where a well-muscled young man was being helped sit down, while a medic secured bandages over his eyes. Lara stared intently at him, the color of her eyes lightening to silver, her lips parted slightly. “So am I” pg. 307 Lara is scary

“He always worried that he’d never be able to talk to you. That the world he came from was so different. That he wouldn’t know enough about being human to relate. That he wouldn’t know about being a br-“ pg. 310 Aw Thomas

“You’re like family to me, Harry. You always care.” pg. 310 Aw :)

“She focused sharply on Anastasia for a moment-and then upon me.

Lara’s eyes flicked several shades paler as her ripe lips parted in dawning realization. A very slow smile crept over her mouth as she stared at me.” pg. 313 So Harry doesn’t have true love’s protection anymore. So that means Luccio doesn’t love him :(

“Margret. You selfish bitch.” pg. 315 Whoa Luccio not a fan of Margaret I see.

I kinda agree with Margret about the council.

I don’t agree with Luccio. That’s a whole separate comment about her argument.

“As harsh an experience as it created for you, Harry, the Laws of Magic are not about justice. The White Council is not about justice. They are about restraining power.” pg. 319 That’s my main issue with the White Council. I think they should be more about justice than they are.

“Over. My. Dead. Body.” pg. 321 Yep Harry cares about his family. I wonder how Luccio figured it out but not Elaine. While Luccio had help from Justine it’s surprising that Luccio was able to piece it together but not Harry’s other friends.

“Because you need your brother to be alright” pg. 325 Yep see previous comment.

“Then if you want my help, things are going to change. I’m not charging blindfold again. Not ever.” pg. 337 Yep stop keeping your friends in the dark.

“Then I made a fist and slugged his smug face hard enough to knock him over backward in the chair.” pg. 351 Ha

“The mighty Harry Dresden. Subcontracting detective work.” pg. 363 Ha

“Bear in mind that someone like him can do everything I can do and considerable besides. And even people on the bloody Council are nervous about that one.” pg. 367 Yep Harry can be scary.

“You lost a fight to one overgrown Boy Scout and one pint-sized mortal women, got yourself locked up by the police, of all the ridiculous things, and missed your chance to earn the reward.” pg. 369 Ha Harry is an overgrown Boy Scout. Why is it that these morally dubious people know that but the Council thinks he’s a black sheep/warlock?

“The air smelled of cordite. Mouse’s fur, all down his left foreleg, was matted and caked with blood.” pg. 380 Oh no Mouse :(

Oh no Molly broke a Law again. The same on too.

“I promise that I’ll be beside you,” I said. “I can’t promise anything else. Only that I’ll stand beside you for as long as I can.”

“Okay,” she whispered. She leaned against me.” pg. 393 Aw

So subtle mind control. Maybe that’s what Peabody is doing with the inkwell. I don’t trust anyone who uses an inkwell. Just use a pen.

“I think someone has tampered with Captain Luccio. I’d bet my life on it.” pg. 394 I knew it

“You were acting?” I said “To make it hit Molly harder?” pg. 394 Good for Mouse.

“A real party. Practically everyone who’d wanted to kill me lately would be there.” pg. 399 Harry given your track record with parties I don’t see this going well.

“That is the plan” I confirmed. Then I bent down and kissed her forehead and her mouth, gently, and leaned my forehead against hers. “Love you too,” I whispered.” pg. 492 Yay Harry/Murph moment!

“And yet here I am about to pop you in the nose,” I muttered. “Am I daring or what?” pg. 410 Ha and if it works on sharks it should work on Demonreach.

“It rocked back at the impact. Not much. Maybe half an inch, though that column of fire would have blown apart a brick wall. But I had moved it that half inch. There was no doubt about that.” pg. 418 So cool

“I am Harry Dresden, and I give thee a name, honored spirit. From this day on, be thou called Demonreach.” pg. 418 So cool

Demonreach is so cool. Harry names another. I wonder how this will play out.

“I slid will into my voice as I said, simply, “Thank you.” pg. 419 Aw :) Harry being nice to Deamonreach.

“I’ve got nothing going on in here at the moment.”

I realized what I had said just as the last word left my mouth, and glanced at Morgan. He lay on the bunk with his eyes closed. His mouth was turned up in small smile. “Too easy.”

Molly fought not to grin.” pg. 426 Ha

So cool that Harry challenged the entire Senior Council.

I like Toot-toot

Gatekeeper!

“I cannot decide,” he said “whether you are the most magnificent liar I’ve ever encountered in my life-or if you truly are as ignorant as you appear.”

I looked at him for a minute. Then I hooked my thumb up at my ridiculous head bandage.

“Dude” pg. 452 Ha

“There is the world that should be,” he growled, “and the world that is. We live in one.”

“And must create the other,” Ebenezar retorted “if it is ever to be” pg. 469 So cool

“And then it hit me. They were dealing with something far more dangerous than me, Harry Dresden, whose battered old Volkswagen was currently in the city impound. They were dealing with the potential demonic dark lord nightmare warlock they’d been busy fearing since I turned sixteen. They were dealing with the wizard who had faced the Heirs of Kemmler riding a zombie dinosaur, and emerged victorious from a fight that had flattened Morgan and Captain Luccio before they had even reached it. They were dealing with the man who had dropped a challenge to the entire Senior Council, and who had then actually showed, apparently willing to fight-on the shores of an entirely too creepy island in the middle of a freshwater sea.” pg. 471 So cool!

Not a fan of ancient Mai

“He was not truly your apprentice. You kept watch over him for a mere two years.” pg. 473 Yes Harry was an Ebenezer apprentice and it was an important two years!

I love that we got a glimpse into Harry’s appearance time. Yeah, having killed Justin a bunch of bully teenagers isn't all that scary in comparison.

“Lady Raith,” Ebenezer said, calmly. “Touch that boy again and only things left for your kin to bury will be your five-hundred-dollar shoes.” pg. 479 So cool! I love how much love Ebenezer has for Harry and vice versa.

“Wile E. Coyote” I said to him soberly. “Suuuuuuper Genius.” pg. 483 Ha

Ebenezer used a force choke. It was cool.

Ahhhhh!!!! Lara is terrifying. Madeline didn’t deserve that. Why would you do that Lara? I’m going to have nightmares. Lara is definitely a monster. I don’t want her anywhere near Maggie.

“Someone had to be human.” pg. 512 Yep

Poor Thomas :(

“Bring it! Bring it, you dickless freak!” pg. 530 Ha

Toot-toot to the rescue!

“Mother says you have no place here.”

“Father says you are ugly” pg. 539 Ha

“Just gonna kick your ass up between your ears.” pg. 540 Ha and Listen-to-winds is so cool.

“Retribution,” Ebenezer said. “Not justice” pg. 555 It definitely isn’t justice. It’s retribution and vengeance.

“I remind you that Dresden and his apprentice aided and abetted a fugitive from justice.” pg. 556 Stop calling it justice it’s not justice.

“Little guy like that, taking on something so far out of his weight class. That was a sight to see.”

Ebenezer snorted. “Yeah. Wonder where the pixie learned that.” pg. 558 Ha and where do you think Harry learned it from. Definitely not Justin.

I think Harry should learn from Listen-to-winds.

Oh no Ebenezer doesn’t know about Thomas. Maybe Harry and sit him down and they actually have a conversation about Thomas. I can dream ok.

Oh no poor Thomas what happened to you?

“Wile E. Coyote,” I said wisely. “ Suuuuuuper genius” pg. 569 Ha

“Ebenezar was of the opinion that apprentices were always hungry. Can’t imagine where he got that idea from.” pg. 576 Ha

Part 3

Ebenezer is a cool bookworm. I wonder if Harry got being a bookworm from Ebenezer.

“The Merlin has demanded that we put the boy under surveillance at once. I think he’s a damn fool.” pg. 578 Ebenezar is right. Harry would not be happy about that. White Council looks like a police state.

“But then again, I trusted Maggie’s too” pg. 578 Maggie as in Harry’s mom? Did Ebenezer teach Harry’s mom? Do they have a parental substitute dynamic? Actual parent and child? Look I’m going to get one of these relationships right I swear.

“Merlin,” pg. 579 As in the original Merlin?

“Mai looked daggers at Injun Joe” pg. 584 Not a fan of Ancient Mai

“Mai looked as if someone had hit her between the eyes with a sledgehammer. “That,” she said, in a breathless tone “is a Foo dog.” She stared at me “Where did you get such a thing? And why were you allowed to keep it?” pg. 588 First of all Mouse isn’t a thing or an it. He was the best boy there ever was. Second of all Harry didn’t pick Mouse, Mouse picked Harry.

“It is my belief that Peabody has been drugging the ink for the purpose of attempting greater mental influence over the decisions of members of the Senior Council, and that it is entirely possible that he has compromised the free will of the younger members of the Council tonight.” pg. 588 I was right!? I knew that inkwell was evil. Never trust an inkwell.

I will begrudgingly admit that Merlin is a little bit cool with the whole telepathy thing. Incredibly begrudgingly :/

Morgan, what are you doing about it? You should be resting. Keep doing this and it’ll kill you. Go line down.

I can’t believe I was right about Luccio's mind control. And with Peabody. Maybe I can be a P. I. like Harry lol

“I knew that you knew how it felt to be an innocent man hounded by the Wardens.” pg. 600 He admits it.

“He died less than a minute later.” pg. 600 He died! :0 Morgan’s died? What?

Harry’s got a cool eye scar now.

The Gray Council is cool.

“That the only alternative is to stand around and watch everything go to hell.” His voice hardened. “We’re not going to do that.”

“Damn right we’re not.” pg. 616 Good

“You’re not even forty.” pg. 622 So Harry’s still in his thirties. He’s grown so much.

Poor Thomas

Glad that Butters is joining Harry’s D&D group.

Final thoughts

Great way to start the book. No Bi Harry moments. I thought the book was funny. I wish we got more Marcone to see who he is and if he’s picked up the coin. My working theory is that he picked it up in the last book. Unsure if he touched it bare handed and just has it in his possession or if he has it and hasn’t given in like with Harry. They both have a lot of willpower. He partnered up with Namshiel after Harry died and there was no longer a wizard in Chicago. I hope he shows up in the next book. I loved Mouse in this. I loved the Harry and Murphy moment. I’m shocked I was right about Peabody. That wasn’t anywhere close to a logical conclusion in my deduction. The inkwell was a total guess on my end. Lara is terrifying. I’m sad that Morgan died and what happened to Luccio. Didn’t like the Morgan and Molly thing. Poor poor Thomas. I hope he can come back from this. Loved Toot-toot in this. Not the biggest fan of ancient Mai and glad she was shocked by Mouse. I’m glad Morgan sort of apologized to Harry at the end there. Harry’s reputation grows among the supernatural community. I loved all the Ebenezer and Harry moments in this book especially with the force choke on Lara. Interesting that Peabody had the stuff from outside reality. So this Black Council is in league with the Outsiders(Is that what they’re called?) my question is why? Presumably the Outsiders want to destroy reality so why would anyone want to side with them? Are they possessed? Also if they’re so bad how did Harry defeat one at 16? Glad Harry and Ebenezar are forming the Gray Council if Merlin isn’t going to do anything. Love that has a cool eye scar. Ebenezer really shaped how Harry views magic and life. That must have been such an important two years. Hope we get more glimpse into it. I’ll probably make a whole different comment on Luccio's argument and why I think it’s wrong.

Onto the next book! Oh boy it’s the big one.

If I shape my own life, if I give it a form that suits me and does me good, then I will take pleasure in life. I have the feeling that I am alive, not that my living is being done for me. My style can be seen in the way I get up in the morning, the way I begin my day, go to work, arrange my mealtimes, and end the day. A healthy lifestyle requires healthy rituals. When we don't pay attention to healthy rituals, unhealthy rituals creep in that involuntarily make us sick -- for example, starting our day out with a mad rush, wolfing down breakfast, always arriving late, etc. Healthy rituals put order in my life, and they give me the joy of shaping my life my own way. ...

Healthy rituals give life familiarity, security, clarity. Here we can live, here we can be at home.

From Heaven Begins Within You: Wisdom of the Desert Fathers by Anselm Gruen. Chapter: Shaping Life Spiritually (pg. 102)

TUA SEASON FOUR PREDICTIONS

Nothing, this was a hell scape going in and it will be one going out. I’ve got till it comes out to emotionally fortify myself before I mainline this and honestly: hands sweaty moms spaghetti

I Dammed Well Called It!

Since the hellaciously baffling thing know as live action Riverdale has come into being and it’s “we know we’re camp so let’s turn into it” counterpart Sabrina has come into play, I’ve come to the horrific realization that no comic is safe

So, it’s been brewing in my little fangirl head about what over the top supernatural twist that they’d throw out there for fans to mainline and it it me, it hit me hard:: Casper the Friendly Ghost

Hear me out:

They’d set it before Casper was born and focus on his dad and his uncles in the late Victorian/early Edwardian times ( based on the 95 movie )

Since around that time period there was a huge following about occultism, that’s a total factor on Casper’s parents living in that huge Victorian while Casper’s dad is inventing a was to bring spirits to life again

The Uncles are all kind of bastards but they stick around in ghost form around home so it’s probably penance and we get to see what that was

Cause you know there is going to be drama and with the last name of McFadden it’s Irish brogue’s and Catholic guilt for everyone!

Since it in America they can totally show the horrible attitudes taken against the Irish back then.

I kinda think the uncles are like boot leggers, or some sort of shady enterprisers that just interrupt Dad McFaddens occult inventing party and set the towns tongues a wagging

Lots of spooky and period costumes and 25-35 year old actually playing there age so it doesn’t feel creepy watching them flirt

And if Harvey comics agrees to this then they’ll totally cross over Wendy the Good Witch, Hot Stuff (( an adorable demon)), and possibly the Rich Family ((Richies family tree coming into play))

Possibly spin-offs who would want to see a drama about how the Riches got theirs fortune and how they fought to keep it ((very Dynasty))

So why am I typing out into the void? Why am I predicting plot points and possible spin offs, and my hope for actors who get smooch to be playing as adults and not teenagers?Why am I praying it’s more like Are You Afraid of theDark and less like Euphoria?

Peacock announced a live action with a “darker look” and its in the works now.

My #1 post of 2022

I love how they use music in OFMD. Which is why in season two I want an Izzy-centric episode (like how they did with Mary) and towards the end when they’ve twisted our hearts with backstory and longing looks, I want to see Ed and Stede’s reunion from Izzy’s point of view with No Doubts “Don’t Speak” playing as we go to credits. Because that angry first mate is have some 90’s teenage angst because he’s breaking up with Ed ((and Ed doesn’t even realize it))and I am so fucking here for it.

Date Night With Mia and Rubi

Original Post Date: 07/04/21 at 8:25PM EST.

I am participating in @wackydrabbles prompt # 102 “You keep a photo of us in your wallet? which will appear in bold. * I did decide to use “Us” and I also used the prompt a second time: “You keep a photo of ________ in your wallet?”

This is also @choicesmonthlychallenge for July Day # 4 Celebration.

This is a funny, fluffy special Mia’s World for July 4th. If you are new to Mia’s World and want to check it out and get to know her, her story begins first with Pops Place, and then book two is Mia’s 🌎 World , a crossover for TRR x The Freshman as Mia goes back to college for her Fall Sophomore semester.

The Book: TRR x The Freshman

Pairings: Mia x Jaiden (TRR MC x M!OC) / Chris x Emily

Word Count: 804

Warnings: Sexual Innuendo

Ratings: PG

Summary: Jaiden and Mia go out on a date to Kulture Shox’d.

A/N: This will also cross over into my series The Meet as Jili and Bebe are also there that night. I know it doesn’t make sense and these are both different AU’s I have going on, but they defy all logic and time / space paradoxes here and collide into one mashed up world. #sorrynotsorry

A/N2: We also see more of Jaiden’s love for Rubi his Jeep in this chapter. Which was also highlighted in the Mia’s World Chapter: Country Glitter.

“Mia it’s not a big deal.”

“Yes it is, it never fails no matter where we go, whatever we do. It never matters who asks who to go out, you always pay.”

“Mia, it’s something my Dad instilled in me. If you’re with someone, you take care of them. And I’m with you, so I take care of you. I open doors for you, I buy you dinner. You’re my girl. I like taking care of you.”

Mia smiled, kissing him. “Then the love fest should go both ways. Let me take care of you.”

“For some reason, I feel like my Dad wouldn’t agree with this.”

“Your Dad is not here, and tonight is my treat. So get dressed up all handsome for me.”

“I’m not a cheap date so you know. You know I like to eat.”

“Then you better put out tonight, Jaiden.” Mia chuckled.

“Then I’m getting dessert too. Both kinds.” Jaiden licked his lips at Mia.

“Damn right you are!!!”

“I’ve heard nothing but fantastic things about this place.”

“Kulture Shox’d, I don’t know about this place Mia.”

Mia gasped at the two women in line ahead of her.

“Ohh my God!!!! I love your outfits!!!! They look amazing under the black lights!!!”

“Thanks! Go big or go home right!”

“Exactly!”

As the women walked away she heard one say to the other “Jili, it’s so in the bag, random stranger loves our costumes.”

“We'll have to dress up next time Jai!”

“Maybe Em, should come with you next time then.”

She playfully hit Jaiden.

“I’m kidding, I’m kidding. We’ll go with Chris and Emily and do it up right.”

Since neither Jaiden or Mia were twenty-one, they got the nonalcoholic versions of Kulture Shox’d signature smoke cocktails.

“Okay I have to give it to you Mia, I thought this place was going to be a little weird, but it’s actually kind of cool.”

“All my ideas are good ones, Jai, you have to trust me.."

The music lowered and an announcer stepped forward.

“Thank you to all the participants in our weekly ‘You lite the night and get Kulture Shox’d Challenge.’ Our winners of this week’s costume contest are Jili and Bebe! Come up and take a bow ladies!!!”

“Yeaaaa!!! They Won!!!!” Mia cheered loudly for the women she had been talking to earlier.

Mia and Jaiden enjoyed their dinner.

When it came time to pay, Mia pulled out her wallet from her purse.

He saw her visibly start to panic, and look upset.

“Oh no!!!!”

“What’s wrong?”

“I forgot to take my card out of the pocket of my jacket. I don’t have any money.”

Jaiden smiled, handing her his wallet.

“Just use mine. I’ll have to run to the restroom before we go.”

Mia opened his wallet, She pulled out his debit card. She smiled seeing a picture of him and her from that very first summer at Pop’s Place. The picture showed them, just friends smiling at each other.

She noticed there were more pictures behind theirs.

Mia laughed so hard she snorted at the next picture.

“What’s so funny?” Jaiden asked when he sat back down next to her.

“First things first, Awwwwwwww!!!! You keep a photo of us in your wallet?”

Jaiden blushed. “Of course I do. You’re my girl.”

“Then can I ask you one more thing then?”

“Yeah what is it baby?”

“You keep a photo of your Jeep in your wallet?”

“I mean Rubi is cute. And I like that picture you got of her.”

She shook her head at Jaiden laughing.

“Should I be jealous of your jeep?”

“No.”

“Are you sure?”

“Whose picture was the first one Mia?”

Mia laughed even harder.

“Mine.”

“Well then!”

“What am I going to do with you?”

“Naughty things later I hope.”

“I think that can be arranged.”

He kissed Mia’s lips.

“Time to get my girlfriends to the fireworks.”

“I knew it!!!”

Mia walked closer to Jaiden's Jeep.

"Rubi, we're friends. Don't pull a Christine on me someday."

Just as the words got out of her mouth, Jaiden hit the panic alarm button on his fob causing Mia to jump.

She hit him on the shoulder hard. "THAT WAS NOT FUNNY JAIDEN BROOKS!!!!"

"Yes, it was, you should have seen your face!"

"I hate you!"

"No you don't."

He opened the door for her. "Let's go watch the fireworks.”

They had gone to the field behind Pop’s Place as it was right by the fairgrounds with none of the traffic.

She used her keys to get a few drinks from the cooler for the two of them.

“You sure your dad won’t mind?”

“I let him know we were coming over here.”

They sat in the back of the jeep, both their feet dangling over the side.

“You know, this is our first year watching the fireworks together as a couple.”

Last year she had watched the fireworks with Liam.

“I like this so much better. This is definitely a cause for celebration.”

He pulled Mia close and they stared up at the sky watching the fireworks.

Free pt 2

Type: One shot about JJ (Outer Banks) Rating: Rated PG Word Count: 2600+ Paring: JJ & Leah Enjoy!

"How is Leah?" John B asked. "She still hasn't woken up yet," Kiara said. "And JJ?" John B asked. "Still down at the station," Pope said. "What room is Leah in again?" John B asked. "Room 102," Kiara said. "Someone should be there when she wakes up," John B said. "We will wait for JJ so we can tell him what room she's in," Pope said.

John B walked into Leah's room and sat down next to her. Placing his hand on hers, just to make sure she knew she wasn't alone. She started to wake up again and saw John B sitting there. She thought the worst, that it was JJ who got shot. She started crying and put her hands over her eyes.

"Shh, it's ok," John B said. "Where is JJ?" Leah questioned. "He's down at the station right now," John B said. "Wait what?" Leah looked at John B. "He's alive?" she questioned. "Yes he is alive," John B said. "Wait, you thought he was the one that got shot?" he questioned. "I can't remember," she said. "Or I don't think I saw it, I heard the shot but I kept blacking out," she said. "He will be here shortly," John B said. "I'm glad he's ok," Leah said as she wiped her face. "We are glad you both are ok," John B said. "Who was John?" John B questioned. "He was my husband," Leah said. "Husband?" John B looked confused. "It's complicated and I don't want to get into it right now," she said. "That's fine," John B nodded.

She laid her head back and looked up at the ceiling. She knew she would have to explain everything to JJ and she didn't know if she was ready. She was released from the hospital before JJ could get there. He was still down at the station being questioned. Leah declined to go with John B and the group, she just went back to the hotel room. Well, she couldn't go back to her room but they did give her another room. She stopped by the room and asked if she could go in and get a few things. The officers allowed her inside but kept a watch on what she was doing. She grabbed her laptop and a few other things before going to the new room. She started looking up at train tickets and plane tickets. Trying to figure out where to go next. She heard a knock on the door, she placed her laptop down and went to the door. Opening it up and seeing that JJ was standing there.

"You're ok," she said as her tears slipped from her eyes. "You're ok," he said as hugged her. "I'm so sorry" she covered her eyes as she cried against him. "Shhh," he rubbed her back as he kept her close to him. "I should have never come here," she said. "It's ok" he removed her hands from her face, tilting her chin up. "Everything is ok," he whispered.

She leaned up and kissed him softly, placing her hand against his chest. He held her close as he kissed her back. He pulled back slightly and wiped her eyes. Kissing her softly once more before grabbing her hand. Walking over towards the bed, sitting down on it. Pulling her onto his lap as she cuddled close to him.

"Why did you come back?" she questioned. "To make sure your ok," he said, "I meant last night," she said. "Because I heard yelling," he said. "I wanted to make sure you were ok" he looked at her. "You should have just walked away," she looked down. "I would never walk away" he tilted her chin up to look at him. "We just met though," she said as she looked at him. "And?" He questioned. "To risk your life for someone you don't even know," she said. "I'll do it again, I have no regrets," he said. "Plus I kinda like you" he smiled slightly. "You feel it too?" she asked. "Yea I do" he nodded.

She laid her head down on his shoulder as she played with his hand. He looked over at her laptop and saw plane tickets. He gently shut the computer down and held her close to him.

"Can I ask who that guy was?" he asked. "John was my husband," she said. "Husband?" he asked. "Yea it's complicated," she said. "But I left," she said. "Was he always abusive?" he asked. "Not at first, just the stress of providing for us got too much for him," She said. "I think we jumped into things too fast," she sat up. "How old is he?" he asked. "He is 24" she nodded as she looked down. "It was kind of like an arranged marriage," she said. "Damn that's crazy," JJ said. "My parents loved him, he was perfect until he wasn't," she said. "Do your parents know that you ran away?" he asked. "No and honestly don't want them to know, '' she said. "Well, they will when they tell his parents that he has passed," JJ said. "Ok," she nodded. "He can't hurt you anymore," he said as he kissed her cheek. "I'm finally safe," she said. "Yea you are," he said as he held her.

She snuggled close to him, laying her head back down on his shoulder. He laid back and held her close to him. They both started to drift off to sleep. Leah pulled a blanket around them both and snuggled back to JJ. She fell asleep against his chest. She started to remember what happened that night before. She started crying and screaming as she was having a nightmare. JJ pulled her closed and rubbed her back to calm her down. She went back to sleep against him as he watched her. He ended up falling back asleep. Later on, Leah's phone was going off so she woke up. Easing off the bed so she wouldn't wake JJ up. She checked her messages and it was from her parents. They just found out about John's death and wanted to know if she was ok. She quickly responded so they wouldn't worry but then she turned her phone off. She wanted nothing to do with that world right now nor did she want to deal with it. She sat back on the bed easily so she wouldn't wake JJ. She decided to order room service and set up a little picnic on the balcony. She placed candles around the balcony, Placed a blanket on the floor, and changed into a flowy dress. JJ woke up when he heard someone at the door.

"It's ok, just room service," she said as she answered the door. "Oh," he said. "I made us a picnic," she said. "Really?" he asked. "Yea I did" she nodded towards the balcony. "It's beautiful," he said as he got up. "And you are as well" he grabbed her hand pulling her to him. "Thank you," she said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

She led him out to the balcony. They sat on the blanket and started to eat. She watched him as he took a few bites.

"What?" he chuckled. "Nothing," she smiled. "Are you sure?" he asked. "Yea," she said. "Someone ordered chocolate-covered strawberries," he said. "They are my favorite," Leah said. "Oh really?" he asked as he grabbed one, placing it against her lips. "Yea" she smiled and took a bite. "You have chocolate on your lip," he said as he leaned over kissing her softly.

She smiled against his lips before kissing him back. Pulling him closer to him, he grabbed her hips and pulled her onto his lap. She grabbed his shirt and kissed him. He placed his hands around her, rubbing her back as he kept the kiss. She pulled away slowly and grabbed a strawberry. Placing it against his lip as he took a bite. She quickly kissed him before the juices could drip from his lips. She started to feel him grow under her, she looked away.

"Hey, no rush" he whispered as he turned her chin back to face him. "I'm sorry," she said. "No need to be sorry, it's when you are ready," he said. 'Thank you, ' she looked at him. "I want you to be comfortable" he brushed his thumb against her lip. 'I appreciate that, ' she smiled slightly. "I just like being around you" he kissed her softly. She smiled against his lips and kissed him back. "I like being around you" she whispered against his lips. "Want to head to my place and get in the hot tub?" he asked. "I didn't see one last night," she said. "That was John B's place," he said. ``Oh sure" she said.

She got off of his lap and cleaned up the balcony. He got up and grabbed her hand, pulling her inside the room. She smiled and closed the balcony doors before following him. They made sure the door to the hotel room was locked before leaving. He opened the door for her and made sure she was inside. Closing her door before making his way to the driver's side, getting into the truck as well. They went back to his place and the crew was there waiting for JJ.

"Finally where have you been?" Kiara asked as she hugged him as he got out of the truck. "I was with Leah," JJ said. "You could have texted us," John B said. "We fell asleep," Leah said. "So are you in trouble?" Pope asked. "No, I'm not," JJ said as he grabbed Leah's hand. "That's good," Kiara said. "But next time let us know" she pushed him slightly.

Leah excused herself as she went into the house and changed into a bikini.

"Stop it," JJ said as he pushed Kiara back. "What? Worrying about you?" Kiara asked. "No not that, I just don't want to scare Leah away," he said. "AW JJ has feelings," Kiara said. "Yea and I like her," JJ said. "Is she ok?" John B asked. "Yeah she's fine, thanks for staying with her at the hospital," JJ said. "She thought you were the one who got shot," John B said. "Are you serious?" JJ asked. "Yea" John B nodded. "Well thanks for staying with her," JJ said as he entered the house.

He walked past the bathroom to get to his room when he saw Leah looking at herself in the mirror. He smiled to himself and leaned against the door frame, just watching her quietly. Leah fixed her hair and looked at herself in the mirror, seeing the bruises on her neck.

"Why am I even here?" she asked herself as she looked in the mirror. "I just get people hurt" she looked down as the tears started to build in her eyes.

She took a deep breath in and looked back up. Running her fingers through her hair and leaving the bathroom. JJ rushed into his room so she didn't catch him watching her. She wrapped a towel around her before going outside. He finished getting ready and came outside. He came behind Leah and wrapped his arms around her, she didn't know it was him so she jumped. Pulling away from him, accidentally hitting him.

"Don't hit him!" Kiara said. "Kiara don't," JJ said. "It's an accident," JJ said. "No, she just hit you!" Kiara said as she stepped towards Leah. "KI" Pope grabbed Kiara and pulled her back. "I-I'm s-sorry," Leah said. "Come here," JJ said as he pulled her to his chest. "Shh," he said as he rubbed her back. "Let me go, Pope," Kiara said as she pulled from his grip. "I scared her Ki, she didn't mean it," JJ said as he kept a distance from Kiara. "I'm sorry," Leah said as she cried against JJ's chest.

He pulled Leah away from the group so they were alone. Sitting her down on the step and kneeling in front of her.

"Hey it's ok," JJ said as he wiped her tears. "I know it was an accident," he said. "I'm sorry JJ," Leah said. "I didn't know it was you, '' she looked down. "I know and I'm sorry for scaring you," he said. "Maybe I should go," she said. "No, I want you here" JJ tilted her chin up slightly. "All I do is hurt people," she said. "No you don't, it's just a rough week," he said. "But it will get better" he sat next to her and placed his arm around her. "I don't want to fight," Leah said as she started to play with his hand. "Kiara is just protective but she will calm down," JJ said. "Everything is fine," he said.

She looked at him as he wiped her tears away. Brushing his thumb against her cheek. She leaned in and kissed him softly, he placed his hand against her chin and kissed her back. She rested her hand against his chest as she kept the kiss. He smiled against her lips as he pulled away slightly. Resting his forehead against her as he looked at her.

"Do you want me to stay?" she asked. "Yes, I do want you to stay," he said. "Promise no fighting?" she looked at him. "I promise I won't let anyone mess with you," he said as he stood up. Reaching for her hand. "Ok," She nodded and grabbed his hand.

He led her to the hot tub and helped her get in. He got in with her and pulled her close to him as everyone else got in. She was in front of JJ as he wrapped his arms around her, resting his head against her shoulder. She leaned back against him.

"Let's play truth or dare," John B said. "Sure" JJ smiled. "I'm sorry for earlier" Kiara said as she looked at Leah. "It's ok," Leah nodded. "These are my boys so I'm protective," Kiara said. "I understand," Leah said. "I wouldn't do it on purpose," Leah said. "Good," Kiara said. "Let's play," JJ said. "Ok, Leah truth or dare," John B asked. "Dare" Leah smiled. "Make out with JJ," John B said. "How did I know you were going to say that," JJ said as he splashed John B. "Fine," Leah said as she turned to face JJ. Placing her hand against his cheek and kissing him softly. JJ smiled against her lips and kissed her back. "Damn," John B said.

Leah kept the kiss between them, resting her hand against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, keeping her close. Pulling on his bottom lip as she pulled away from the kiss.

"Ok, so truth or dare Kiara," Leah said as she turned around. "Truth," Kiara said. "Is it true that you have feelings for JJ?" Leah said. "Don't ask that," Pope said. "Kiara," Leah said. "No I don't," Kiara said. "I call bullshit," Leah said as she crossed her arms. "Excuse me?" Kiara said. "You claim you don't want a relationship with these boys yet get jealous when they get someone new" Leah said. "That's not true," Kiara said. "Ok, who's next?" Leah asked. "Truth or dare Leah," Kiara said. "Truth" Leah smiled. "Is it true that you put JJ's life at risk?" Kiara said. "Low blow Kiara," JJ said. "Answer," Kiara said. "No, I didn't put his life at risk," Leah said. "Yet last night at the hotel room," Kiara said. "Stop," JJ said. "I didn't ask him to come back, he left the hotel and I went inside. He heard me scream" Leah said. "Oh," Kiara said as she realized she was in the wrong. "Sorry," Kiara said.

Leah leaned back against JJ as he wrapped his arms around her. Kissing her cheek softly as she placed her hands on top of his. They continued to play truth or dare but Leah didn't join in anymore. She just stayed close to JJ. After a while, they all got out of the hot tub. Leah went into the bathroom to change but JJ followed her in.

"Want to take a shower?" JJ asked. "To get warm?" He looked at her. "Sure" she nodded as she looked at him. "Alright," he said as he turned on the water. "Want to join me?" she questioned. "Really?" He looked at her. "Yea" she grabbed his hips pulling him to her. "Just no sex right now" she looked up at him. "Ok," he leaned down and kissed her softly.

They both got undressed and went into the shower. She stepped into the water and pulled him closer. Washing each other off before getting out of the shower. She grabbed a towel and started to dry off. He wrapped a towel around his waist and went into his room. She slipped on her panties and grabbed her shirt but he came back in with one of his shirts.

"Need something to sleep in?" he asked. "Yea I do" she nodded as she grabbed the shirt, putting it on. "Wow," he smiled as he leaned against the door frame. "Looks better on you than on myself," he said. "That's not true" she walked over to him. Leaning up and kissing him softly. "Oh but it is," he smiled. "Where is the bedroom?" she asked. "This way my lady" he grabbed her hand and led her to his room.

They laid down on the bed and she cuddled close to him. She traced patterns on his chest as he rubbed her back. Kissing her forehead softly as they stayed quiet. She looked up at him and she started to feel like she was finally safe. She was safe with JJ, she didn't have to run anymore.
