I smirk up at the sweaty blonde as I slowly slide down onto my knees while he quickly, and sloppily, undoes his belt with one hand.

"You're gonna have to stop looking at me like that." He pants. "Or I'll be done before we even start."

I bite my lip causing him to throw his head back. "Cor- you're killing me."

"Sorry." I say breathlessly.

"Hey." He lifts my chin. "It's okay. We can take this slow or not do it all. Okay?"

I look into his gorgeous blue eyes. I want this. He clearly wants this by the looks of it.

"I'm good." I tell him, nodding confidently. "I'm ready." I place my hand around him, slowly taking him into my mouth and start to bobbing my head up and down.

"God damn-" He groans. "You sure you haven't done this before?"

"Mhmm." I nod mid-action causing his breath to hitch. I decide to kick it up a notch and move a little faster. This isn't so bad. I thought this would be a lot weirder, especially with the person I'm currently sucking, but it's not. There's this warm buzzing throughout my body and it feels like we should've been doing this all this time.

"Oh yeah baby, just like that." He says huskily as he grabs a hand full of my hair.

I have to stop and take a breath after a few more seconds.

"You okay?" He asks, letting go of my now damp head and softly rubs his thumb across my cheek.

I nod. "I can't believe we're doing this." I admit, letting out a laugh. I mean me and him? Who would've thought.

He smirks. "Me either. And this isn't even the first time this week." He wiggles his eyebrows playfully.

"Shut up." I playful push his chest.

"Or month." His face turns serious as he brushes his fingers over my collarbone to the strap on my bare shoulder, my shirt already been discarded a while ago. He swallows as he concentrates very hard on the strap, sliding it down my arm.

"I've wanted to do this all summer." He admits.

"Then why haven't you?" I challenge, placing both my hands on his chest.

"No Pogue-on-Pogue macking." He states matter-of-factly.

"Oh really? Then what is it we're doing?" I ask, smashing my lips into his.

"Cornelia!"

His hands tangle in my hair once again as mine scrape down his chest. It's like we're wild animals that can't get enough of each other.

"Cornelia!"

Everything starts to fade as I gasp awake, raising up quickly as I clutch my chest.

I blink several times, my eyes taking their time to adjust to my surroundings. I'm not at the shack with a certain blonde. I'm here. In hell.

"Cornelia, could you please come down here for a moment?" I hear the voice that belongs to the person that ripped me from my dream, which was actually a nightmare I was having to relive.

Why?

"Yeah, one second." I holler back, peeling my sweaty body out of my sheets. It was a miracle I fell asleep at all. Last night Hurricane Agatha blew through and I couldn't get an ounce of sleep during the disaster, not even after Sarah brought me to her room. So I stayed up half the night watching the storm instead, while Sarah on the other hand was fast asleep. Lucky bitch. She could sleep through a frate-train I've discovered.

I quickly swipe some on some shorts and a tank off the floor to cover my spandex and sports bra, not sure what's so urgent, but not wanting to be exposed no matter the situation.

"I need to talk to you and Sarah." Ward, my step-father, adds.

"I'm coming." I huff, pulling the oversized fabric over my head as my arm is jerked. I shove my head through, quickly blinking as my birth giver, as I like to refer to her as, is staring back at me sharply.

"Watch your attitude." She snaps before adding under her breath, "We have guest." She motions down to the foyer as she moves up the stairs.

I roll my eyes as I notice Mrs. Grubbs talking to Ward. My brows furrow in confusion wondering what on Earth she could be here for since her and her husband live on the other side of the island.

"Hi Cornelia." She smiles, trying to cover whatever stress that's seems to be eating at her. I nod in return.

"What's going on?" I turn to Ward who just motions for us to follow him as we head out back. I sigh. No one ever tells me anything around here other than what to do.

"It didn't fall near the house. It completely uprooted." Ward comments on the tree as I look around at the ruins of Agatha. "Oh look at this. Storm blew it right into the pool." He grumbles as two workers are trying to pull some odd statue looking thing out of the pool. "Be careful with that, unless you want to deal with the Mrs." Ward hollers at them.

"Yes sir, Mr. Cameron."

I roll my eyes once again. Why is there even a pool out here when we're literally right by the freakin' ocean?!

"I don't even wanna know how much that costs." Ward looks back at Mrs. Grubbs. Then why did you let your wife buy it? I bite my tongue from making any remarks as Wheezie, my annoying step- half sister rushes in our direction.

"Dad, the Wifi's not working." Her shrill, bratty voice complains.

"Wheezie, there was a hurricane, sweetheart." Ward looks at her in disbelief before shaking his head at Sarah.

"No, no, no!" She shouts.

I move around Ward and Mrs. Grubb's to find her running around with a tennis racket like a madwoman. If I recall as I was sleepily stumbling back to my room this morning she asked if I wanted to help chase off birds from the mice. I politely declined.

"What is your sister doing?" Ward asks Wheezie as I laugh quietly. I can't help but enjoy Sarah's company, though I tried my hardest not to when I first moved in here several months ago. She has this warm, bubbly energy to her that my isolation felt comforting. And she does shit like this that always makes me laugh.

Wheezie glances over her shoulder. "Saving mice." She shrugs, looking back at Ward as if that was obvious before going back to her phone.

"I'm sorry." He quickly says to Mrs. Grubbs. "Sarah." He hollers over at her.

"I'm busy!" She shouts back, jumping up to take a swipe at the birds. Wow her aim bad.

"What are you doing?" He shoots back as him and Mrs. Grubb's head down to her. I guess I should be following... ugh. I slowly trudge down the path behind them.

"The burrows filled with water from the surge. The birds are having a field day." Sarah hastily explains, taking off.

"The birds have to eat too, Sarah." Ward tells her. I snort.

"No, it's a mouse genocide out here. No!"

Ward sighs. "It's the cycle of life is what it is, sweetheart. Now, come on."

I avoid tripping over branches as we come to a stop.

"I can't be a part of it. First they came for the mice, Daddy." Did I mention Sarah's also dramatic?

"Yeah, well I have an actual human being that you might help." He motions to Mrs. Grubb's as Sarah turns around.

She immediately looks apologetic. "Oh, my God. Hi." She sticks her hand out as she rushes over. "I'm Sarah. I'm so sorry."

"This is Lana Grubbs, she's Scooter's wife." Ward introduces.

I still don't get how either of them are involved with the Cameron's? Didn't everyone call him a dirtbag over on the- never mind...

"Now you girls were storm prepping with him, right?" Ward asks, getting back to the conversation I already want to be done with.

Sarah glances at me as I snap my eyes to her. I was actually vaping during storm prep, and most definitely not helping. But hey, they don't have to know that.

"Yeah. He helped Cori and I latch the cabin on the Druthers." Sarah answers. I smirk, knew I could count on her.

"Last night?" Ward asks, looking between us.

"Yeah." Sarah nods, still out of breath.

"Mhmm." I add confidently.

"And did he go out after that?" Ward asks next. Uhhh, is he the police or something? What's with all the questions?

"From here?" Sarah asks surprised he'd even ask considering we were prepping FOR A STORM! Okay, so, Sarah was at least.

"Yeah." Ward confirms.

"No. Are you crazy? There was a hurricane." Sarah looks puzzled, as if we're being pranked.  I shrug lightly letting her know I don't know what the hell is going on either.

"Well, did he say where he was going?" Mrs. Grubbs jumps in.

"Home, we'd assume." I shrug.

"He didn't get a phone call or mention anything?" Mrs. Grubbs presses on.

"He didn't say anything to us." Sarah concludes, beginning to look worried. Mrs. Grubbs looks at Ward nervously. "I'm so sorry. Is he okay?"

"He's absolutely okay." Ward steps forward with a smile, waving Sarah off at the same time Mrs. Grubbs says, "I hope so."

I glance at Ward suspiciously.

"He's hunkered down somewhere, alright." Ward assures as he begins to lead Mrs. Grubbs back to the house. "We're gonna find him."

"I'm so sorry." Sarah repeats, coming closer to me, nudging my side.

"Oh, yeah. Sorry." I stumble out, pushing her back with my butt.

"Thank you girls." Mrs. Grubbs looks at us gratefully.

"He's probably just hunkered down somewhere with a six-pack..." Ward's voice trails off.

Sarah looks at me full of concern before looking up at the birds.

I watch Ward and Mrs. Grubbs figures descend around the bushes as I narrow my eyes. What kind of shit did you get yourself into Ward Cameron?

Author's Note: Hellooo, wow do we have a lot to catch up on lol.

First of all, I changed the face claim for this book.... Ugh, yes I know, I get the urge to switch my oc's face claims like once a week but after season 2 of tsitp came out I really wanted to use Taylor for a face claim, especially for an obx book & I think she just fits so perfect with JJ.

Also, I changed her name as well. Her personality is pretty much the same as it was before and the book plot won't be changing, and she will still have all her same relationships.                     (P.S. yes I did name her after a Taylor Swift song & this is my third oc to do that for, it's become my new obsession at this point hahaha).

Lastly, I've had trouble writing this chapter pretty much this entire summer bc I literally could not figure out what I was not liking/vibing with but I finally fixed it/figured it out so yay!!

ANYWAYS, sorry for all of that, I just wanted to announce the changes & get all that off my chest, so if you actually read all that you're a real one!! I will also be making a new aesthetic for Cori now, the other aesthetics are the same except for some of the coloring was updated and the book cover's coloring was too.

Hope y'all enjoyed this chapter and thanks for reading my rambling. Until next time, mwauh!
