"are you kidnapping me?" riley asked her millionth question of the night since the two had gotten on the boat. jj kept silent as he drove through the water, simply shaking his head side to side every time she would ask something else.

finally he decided on a good place in the middle of the bay and slowed down.

"can you drop the anchor?" jj asked.

"we're stopping?" riley looked at him as if he had three heads. "are you psycho?"

"do you know how to drop an anchor?" jj asked, not bothering to make any comment on her accusations.

"yes," she grumbled, doing as he said. she turned back around to face the blonde, "so what's your plan genius?"

"i wanted to talk."

"you took me out on a boat... in the middle of the night... so we could talk?" riley pressed her palm to her forehead.

"yeah," jj shrugged.

"you realize that's not normal right?" she questioned him. "and we're not friends so that makes it even less normal."

"see that's why i've brought you here," he smirked proudly.

"what?"

"listen," jj began, clearing his throat, "i had a good time the other night."

"oh my god," riley groaned, putting her face into her hands. "the thing you want to talk about is the sex!?"

"no... well not exactly," jj shook his head and riley let out a huff. "just hear me out okay?"

"well i don't have much of a choice," riley mumbled.

"okay well i think we can both agree that it was... good," jj began. "and- and well why do we have to forget about it? like why can't we just... well i mean why couldn't we..."

"are you about to ask me to have sex with you again?" riley stared up at the boy who was pacing back and forth in front of her now.

"have you ever heard of friends with benefits?"

"i'm dreaming," riley scoffed. "this must be a dream. there's no way this is happening to me right now."

"so is that a no..." jj's voice trailed off.

"we can't be friends with benefits if we aren't even friends jj!" the brunette said.

"okay, okay, well we can work on that part!" jj said.

"this is ridiculous," riley sighed.

"come on, at least give it some thought," jj said, teasingly giving the girl puppy dog eyes.

"you're insane!"

"think about it!" jj begged.

"fine," riley quipped, "tell me something that you've never told anyone before."

"tell you something..." jj's voice trailed off. "well that's a loaded question."

"i'm waiting," riley crossed her arms in front of her chest.

"okay, okay," the blonde waved his hands in the air. "uh...." he bit the inside of his cheek as he raked his mind for an answer. "you have to promise not to laugh," he said after finally coming up with something to say.

the girl rolled her eyes at the boy, though still having a smile on her face.

"i'm serious, you have to promise," he pressed.

"yeah okay, i promise."

"i may or may not steal your sister's ukulele every time she leaves it at john b's and try to teach myself when no one is around," jj quickly blurted out at a record speed.

"you what?" riley's grin grew bigger.

"don't make me say it again," the boy whined.

"oh no, i heard you all right," riley said, licking her lips and trying her best to stifle her laughter. she couldn't even picture jj holding a ukele, never mind playing it.

"well now it's your turn," jj stated.

"what?"

"to tell me something you've never told anybody before," he clarified.

"that was not a part of the deal," riley said.

"well it is now." it was jj's turn to cross his arms in front of his chest as he waited for the girl's reply.

the brunette bit down on her lip as she tilted her head to look up at the sky and think about what she wanted to say. jj took this quiet moment to take a seat on the floor of the boat, below where riley sat.

"fine," the girl mumbled. "i uh... well my family knows this but none of my friends. does that count?"

"yeah, just tell me."

"i'm applying for that merit scholarship thing," riley mumbles under her breath

"the one pope's doing?" jj asks.

"that's the one," riley says behind gritted teeth.

"why do you not seem happy about it? i mean pope won't stop fucking talking about it," jj stifled a laugh.

"i'm not exactly doing it by choice," riley said awkwardly, not liking the way she was sharing too much about her feelings already.

jj just nodded as he took in the girl's response and the two sat in silence just looking at each other in the dark.

"so now that we're practically best friends and we know everything about each other..." jj began, "what do you say about my offer?"

riley snorted at his words. "let me get this straight," she closed her eyes and took a deep breath before continuing, "you brought me here so we could have boat sex?"

"no!" jj was quick to defend himself, shaking his head.

"really?" she pressed, not believing his words.

"i mean not unless-"

"jj!" riley exclaimed, throwing her arms into the air.

"no don't put it like that," the blonde whined. "i came here so we could talk and like... get to... know... each other?"

"why did you just say that like it was a question?" riley huffed.

"i don't know," jj muttered.

"you've never made a friend?" riley scoffed.

"i have john b, pope and kie," the boy shrugged, "that's all i need."

"so then how do you expect this to work?" she tilted her head, looking at him.

"i have a blunt," jj pulled the weed out from his pocket with proud smirk on his face. he lit the roll and took a drag before handing it to the brunette who hesitantly accepted it. "what's your favorite fruit?"

"god you're weird," riley shook her head. "but plums. you?"

"plums? that's weird," jj shrugged. "but mine is pineapple."

riley nodded, "favorite color?"

"green," jj replied. "yours?"

"red," riley said.

"favorite animal?" jj asked.

"hmmm," riley pondered the question, "stingray."

"well, well, well, " the blonde smirked.

"what?"

"that's my favorite too," jj said teasingly. riley just rolled her eyes and moved from her seat on the bow to the floor near where jj sat. she gave him a light shove on the shoulder before asking her next question.

the pair went on and on asking the most random things, pondering their answers and laughing at one another's replies.

"if you were stuck on a deserted island and you could only bring one thing what would it be?" riley questioned.

"my gun," jj said without giving even a second of thought.

"your gun?"

"yes," the boy affirmed. "i could use it to hunt, i could use it to kill off predators... you know, all sorts of things."

riley scoffed, "you're a lunatic. i would bring an unlimited supply of cinnamon toast crunch."

"see that's weirder then the gun," jj shook his head. he took one last drag of the blunt that they had gone through before flicking it into the water. "okay i've got a good one."

"shoot," riley said, waiting for him to continue.

"what is the top place on your, 'places to have sex' list?" the blonde smirked.

"places to have sex list?" riley stared at the boy in astonishment. "i think you just made that up."

"um no," he scoffed, almost looking offended. "everyone has one."

"no they don't."

"fine," jj groaned. "i know you at least have an idea in your head."

riley thought about it for a moment for returning her gaze on the boy. "if i have to give an answer," she smiled, "then inside the lighthouse."

"the lighthouse?" jj said in a mockingly intrigued tone.

"oh shut up," the brunette shoved at his shoulder. "what about you?"

"a boat," jj licked his lips, a smile playing on his lips.

"god you are so full of it," riley rolled her eyes but jj just moved closer to the girl.

"definitely at the top of my list," he murmured and his eyes flickered down to her lips. this small action didn't go unnoticed to riley, who uncontrollably also let her gaze fall to his own lips.

"you said you didn't bring me here for boat sex," riley whispered as jj brought his face in closer to the girl.

"and i didn't," the blonde mumbled before lightly placing a kiss on the girl's neck, making her breath hitch. "but i wouldn't stop you if you wanted to."

jj lifted up his face so his lips could hover over riley's, nearly touching them. riley's eyes never tore away from his mouth but she hesitated for a moment, in which jj pulled away abruptly.

"well okay i guess we should get go-" the boy began but riley grabbed the back of his neck with one hand and placed the other hand on the side of his face before she connected her lips with his. jj hummed into the kiss as his tongue played against her's. riley quickly moved to straddle his waist and he lowered his hands to grip onto her thigh's

"i can't believe we're doing this again," she mumbled against his mouth.

the blonde pulled away instantly, "do you not want to?"

riley sighed, staring into his captivatingly blue eyes. "no i want to."
