JJ's POV:

It was a Saturday night and I was at the Chateau pre gaming with John B, Sarah, and Kie. Pope wanted to keep the signal clear tonight. I had two beers and the girls were both slamming back drinks. I stopped after my two beers because if Kie was going to be wasted, I was going to watch her. I don't want some creep like Rafe trying to take advantage of her.

We left in the Twinkie and Pope drove to the party at the Boneyard.  We went and everyone got drinks, Pope was hanging out with his friends who weren't drinking. I watched Kie get shit faced with Sarah and John B.

John B and Sarah were just tipsy, but Kie was shit faced. She was grinding on random guys and they were grabbing her in places they shouldn't. I walked over and pulled her away from the crowd of drunk horny teenage boys.

"Come on, we're leaving" I said

"I was having fun" She slurred her words

"You're wasted, you're leaving" I said wrapping my arm around her and placing hers around me to help her walk

"You're so strong" She commented as we made our way back to the Chateau

As we walked through the dirt path in the woods, she stopped twice the puke. I held her hair back as she was way to drunk to even think of that. We were pretty close to the Chateau and I picked her up bridal style to carry her the rest of the way.

She touched my bicep and said, "You're so strong"

"Your muscles are so sexy"

"I like to look at your abs when you don't have a shirt on"

I tried not to say much because she was drunk and totally wouldn't be saying this sober. I got Kie into the spare room and she kept talking. I took her dress off because there was puke all over it and put her in one of my t-shirts. I took her shoes and socks off and got her on her side in bed. I made sure to leave a bottle of water, a few crackers, and two advil pills on the nightstand along with a small trash can next to the bed.

I leaned over and whispered, "Goodnight, get some sleep"

"Jayge, I love you" She said

"You're drunk" I replied

"No, really, I do. I love you" She said

"We'll see if you feel the same way in the morning" I said leaving her room

I've wanted to hear Kie say that for years. When she finally did say it, she was drunk. She probably either didn't mean to say it, got me confused with someone else, or won't remember it tomorrow. I tried to brush it off but I couldn't. It's not everyday someone like means bears someone say those worlds.

I slept on the pullout couch and didn't get much sleep as I kept checking in Kie. When I woke up the next day, she was still asleep. I'm sure she has a massive hangover. I let her sleep it off and when she was finally feeling better it was the evening in the next night.

She had showered and changed clothes. She came out to the dock and said, "Thank you for bringing me home and taking care of me last night"

"Of course, it's what pogue do"

"Jayge, I know I was wasted but I said some things. I know I did and I just want you to know that I meant every word"

"I really don't think you did. It's okay, like you said, you were drunk"

"Jayge, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to say those things drunk"

"Like I said, it's whatever"

"No, it's not whatever. I shouldn't have to be drunk to say that I love you and that you're hot. Yeah, I'll admit that your abs are gorgeous and your muscles are sexy. I'll also tell you that I love you, because I do"

"So you really do remember?"

"Yeah, kinda embarrassing but it's true and you deserve to hear me say it sober. Thank you for bringing me home and taking care of me"

"Always, and Kie, I love you too" I said smiling which made her smile

I leaned in and softly kissed her. It was nothing like I expected our first kiss to be, but it was perfect. When we broke apart she said, "I'm glad I was sober for that"
