champagne colored dress fit her perfectly, adorning her body and making her look like the most innocent creature in the world. Her light brown hair that was normally wavy was now curled up into loose spirals, making her cheekbones pop out more than they normally would. He noticed every little thing about Jaylene Rosewood, and that's when he finally believed Sarah's words from that day. He was whipped for Jaylene. "You look beautiful." He added, his breath shaky as he nervously stood by the white fence.

Jaylene's eyes flickered upwards towards him as she smoothed out the small wrinkles that had formed on her dress. A light chuckle fell from her lips as she opened her mouth to speak. "Careful, John B. My ego is already way too high." She teased him, sending him a crooked smile. "What are you doing here? It's not safe for you to be on kook territory. This place is crawling with some of the snobbiest pieces of shit in the world. Me included if you really think about it"

"I needed to talk to you and also ask for a favor." He stepped closer to her so that the two were now face to face. "I know you keep telling me to quit worrying about the gold, but I found it. I know where the gold is at."

The brunettes eyes lit up in excitement. Despite the fact that she'd tried to keep him out of trouble with his quest for the gold, she was extremely happy that he'd finally been able to get one step closer to the gold than his father had. "Oh, my god! That's like the best news I've received today!" She wrapped her arms around his neck, embracing the boy into a warm hug to congratulate him on his accomplishment that even she doubted he'd be able to achieve. "I'm so proud of you, John with the unnecessary B." She mumbled against his shoulder, allowing their bodies to stay pressed against one another for a few more seconds before finally pulling away.

It was silent between the two at first as their eyes met, causing Jaylene to begin feeling extremely nervous as she parted her lips to speak, unable to get a single word out due to John B. unexpectedly closing the small gap between the two as he crashed his lips against hers.

A wave of exhilaration shot throughout Jaylene's body as their soft lips molded together. Her heart was rapidly beating against her chest at the sudden action, but she smiled into the kiss as she brought her hand up to his neck to pull him closer to her, deepening the kiss.

For the few seconds that the kiss lasted, all the worries in Jaylene's brain disappeared, allowing her to feel at peace for the first time in the long time. If it could've been up to her, she never would've pulled away from the kiss, but the lack of oxygen the two were receiving forced them apart.

The two were breathless as their foreheads rested against one anther. Her hand stayed placed on the back of his neck as she tangled her fingers into his soft hair.

A small laugh left her lips as she struggled to catch her breath. "I was wondering when you'd finally do that."

authors note. AHHHHHHHHHH!! They finally kissed!!!!!! 🥺

But there's still more that's gonna go down at Midsummers and it is not gonna be pretty.
