Maelynn pulled up with John B some time later. She had pretty much peeled him from Sarah's body and left with little explanation. It would only make Sarah annoyed that she was being left out of the loop. 

'Hey!' Pope called as they got out. Maelynn smiled and waved. Kiara, who stood on the edge of the porch, gave a tentative one back. She and Maelynn had both left the fire feeling annoyed the night before. JJ had taken her mind off of it, but now that she was back, it stung like a fresh wound. 

She understood that Sarah had been a bitch to Kiara in seventh grade, but that was seventh grade. It had been four years since they'd last talked. Kiara didn't even know who Sarah was anymore. And yet, she was so quick to pass judgements on her. It made Maelynn angry. 

'Where's JJ?' she asked as they got closer to the other pogues. Pope nodded at the open door. 

'Inside. Told me to tell you to go get him when you got here.'

Maelynn smiled and patted Pope's head before going into the Chateau. 'Hello?' she called as she walked through. 'Where are you?'

'In here!' JJ yelled back from his room. Maelynn went in and smiled when she saw him. 'Why, hello there, princess.'

'Hello, JJ,' she replied. He was bent over on the floor. It looked like he was folding laundry. Maelynn laughed, having not pinned him for the domestic type. 'How are you doing?'

'Just dandy now that I get to see your beautiful face.'

She laughed again and bent down next to him, helping him fold a shirt he had nearly mangled into a knot. 'You're adorable.'

'I know, right?'

They chuckled together and he leaned back, watching as she folded the remainder of his clothes for him. She did it quickly and neatly - with the practiced ease of someone used to finishing others' chores for them. 

'You're amazing,' he gushed as she folded the last shirt. She flushed and leaned back on him. 

'Yeah, right.'

He leaned his head down and pressed a lingering kiss to her lips. 'I mean it, Maelynn.'

She smiled against his lips and turned herself around, straddling his legs and wrapping her arms around his neck. 'And you're too good for me, JJ.'

'That's literally impossible.'

'Nope.'

He kissed her, his hands holding her hips. 'Yes, it is. You're the best there is.'

She groaned and squirmed. 'Stop talking and just kiss me.'

He did as she asked, kissing her with the same amount of passion as he had the previous night. They sat - and laid for a while - on his floor until his phone began to ring, prompting them both to laugh.

'It's John B. That asshole is trying to cockblock us,' Maelynn said with a grin. 'We better get back out there before they come in here.'

'True,' JJ sighed, rubbing his thumbs over Maelynn's hips. 'I'd rather stay here, though.'

'I'll sit on your lap outside.'

'Deal.'

They rose from the ground and went back out, hand in hand. Kiara eyed them up and raised her eyebrows. They went even further up when JJ pulled Maelynn onto his lap and put his hands on her thighs. 

'Uh...'

Maelynn smirked. 'Yes?'

'What the fuck?'

'You know, Kiara, you said it last night: my virginity wasn't going to last if JJ saw me in that dress.'

John B and Pope burst out laughing, their faces red and breaths heaving. Kiara turned pink and looked down at her feet. Maelynn could feel JJ chuckling against her back and squeezing her legs gently. His rings were cold on the sensitive skin. 

'Okay,' Kiara said after a while. 'I get it, I get it.'

'I have some actual news, other than Maelynn losing her virginity and first kiss all in one night,' John B said with a grin. 'It's about the gold. And Sarah.'

Maelynn watched Kiara's face turn sour at the mention of her twin. 'What?'

'Well, for the time being, I'll be living in the Cameron house because of DCS.'

'Full kook!' JJ called. Maelynn grinned. 

'Are you going to start dragging Sarah with us like your pet lapdog or what?' Kiara asked bitterly. Maelynn's smile dropped and she tensed up. 

'No, Sarah's just being very helpful. Anyway, the translation and map shows the plantation as where the gold is. That's under what's now the Crain house. So that's where we're going today, gang.'

'I'm down,' Maelynn said with a shrug. Pope and Kiara nodded. JJ, however, stared at them all in shock. 

'Haven't you heard the stories about Mrs. Crain? About how she-'

Maelynn reached behind herself and covered JJ's mouth. 'Enough. It's all gossip, JJ. You think an old lady like Mrs. Crain could actually kill anyone? She can't see, for God's sake!'

'It was before she couldn't see,' Pope clarified. 'But Maelynn's right, JJ. It's all talk. There's no solid proof to back it up.'

'Oh, you and your proof,' JJ replied, having peeled Maelynn's hand from his lips. 'Fine. I'll go too. But if there's even a little bit of noise, you can bet I'll be gone like that.' He snapped his thumb and pointer finger together. 

'Fine. Let's get our gold.'
