"there's no way i'm climbing up there in this dress," riley huffed. the three teens had crept across the yard once they arrived home. and the twins had been fighting for nearly five minutes about the best way to get inside. kiara insisted on going in through riley's bedroom balcony, but the other sister disagreed.

"do you want to never see the light of day again? cause that's what'll happen if mom and dad find us right now," kiara hissed.

"well we wouldn't be in this position if it wasn't for you and your friends," riley said

"you're one to talk," kiara gritted.

"you know what? i am so sick of-"

"stop," jj hushed the two girls. they both snapped their heads in his directions before turning to face one another again.

"fine, what's your plan genius?" riley asked her sister.

kiara eye's made a path from the ground to the balcony. "step onto the breaker box, then the top of the first floor window, then grab onto the bottom of the balcony and lift yourself up."

"heels. i am wearing heels kiara," riley groaned.

"well then take them off!" kie snapped. "jj, you go first."

"why do i have to go first?"

"um one, to see if it's safe. and two, so you can't see up our dresses when we go," kiara said, making the boy chuckle which only earned him a smack on the back of the head.

"fine, fine," he grumbled before stepping up closer to the house and hoisting himself up onto the box. with careful maneuvering, he finally pulled himself onto the balcony and swung his leg around the siding.

kiara then made her way up, and finally riley. riley nearly slipped when she gripped onto the edge of the balcony but jj caught her hand  out of instinct. her head snapped up at the sudden touch but she didn't argue when he helped pull her up.

"thanks," she mumbled once she was up on the railing.

"not a word when we get in," kiara whispered. "jj you can stay in the guest room." he nodded his head before they all crept into the house and quickly went their separate ways.

riley flopped onto her bed once the other two had exited her room. the girl didn't even have the energy to take off her dress at the moment. she was lying across the center of the bed, her legs dangling off the side, and all she wanted to do was just stare at the ceiling and let her mind run blank.

a half an hour must have gone by before she heard a small knock at her door. she held her breath as she tilted her head back to watch the door handle turn, figuring that it must be her parents. however the boy that slipped into the room was most definitely not her father.

"jj?" she asked, not bothering to move from her position on the bed.

"uh hi," he whispered.

"what are you doing?" riley questioned.

"i'm not really sure," the boy mumbled. he had locked eyes with the girl and took in a sharp breath, the silence painfully deafening. "yeah i dunno. i'll just.. i'm just gonna-" he turned back, placing his hand on the door.

"no it's okay," riley blurted. "you can sit." she softly patted the spot next to her on the bed.

the blonde hesitated for a moment before slowly walking over to the other side of the room and sitting on the edge of the mattress. carefully laying his back down on the comforter, he turned his head to the side so he could face her. riley sighed as she stared into his blue eyes before looking back up at the ceiling.

"couldn't sleep?" she asked.

"no, not really."

the two teens just laid there in complete stillness, both not threatening to speak a word.

it had been one hell of a night and now riley had ended up lying in a bed with the boy she swore, just a few months ago, she would never talk to again.

"i'm sorry," riley whispered, breaking the quietness between them.

"what?" the boy turned to the girl with confusion painted on his features.

"for what i said the other day," riley began, "when you came here."

"oh that, pshh," jj said. "no big deal."

"i just wanted to make sure i told you," riley continued, "that i was sorry."

"well i'm sorry for slamming your door."

riley let out a soft laugh, and bit the inside of her cheek to suppress the smile growing on her face. "i didn't mean what i said," she mumbled after a few moments of quietness.

"which part?" jj questioned.

"all of it i guess," riley mumbled.

riley played with the rings on her fingers as silence engulfed the room once again. what she didn't know however, was that jj was doing the same thing right next to her.

"i guess i should head back to my room now," jj said, sitting up from the bed and standing onto his feet.

"jj" riley said.

"yeah?"

"do you uh... do you mind..." riley breathed out, looking down at her hands. "do you mind unzipping my dress for me. i just.. i can't exactly get it myself." she honestly hated asking him, but she had no other way of getting the dress off without tearing it and it was beginning to get uncomfortable.

"i was gonna ask why you still had it on," the boy let out a small chuckle before walking back over to the girl who had now stood up next to the bed. she turned her back to him and lifted her hair up and out of the way.

jj hesitantly pinched the zipper between his thumb and pointer finger and dragged it down until it stopped at the brunette's lower back. the two stood there unmoving and wordlessly until jj, without thinking, lowered his head and pressed his lips onto the girl's shoulder.

riley's breath hitched at the contact but didn't say anything, even as he pressed two more kisses onto her skin before his lips reached the base of her neck.

"what are you doing?" riley breathlessly whispered, barely audible.

"i don't know," jj mumbled against the girl's neck, connecting his lips once more to the skin below her jaw. "do you want me to stop?"

riley hesitated for a moment. she honestly didn't know what she wanted. but as soon as jj placed his lips onto the tender skin right below her ear, her head involuntarily fell back onto his shoulder and she spoke before her mind was made up. "no."

gently, jj held riley's jaw and brought her lips up to his. she turned so she was facing him now. he slowly ran his fingers down the girl's bare arms before delicately placing his hands on her waist.

riley shuddered at the contact and although the movements were so soft and hesitant, they drove her crazy. she wanted more, she needed more.

riley threaded her hands through his blonde locks and deepened the kiss. lightly pushing him back onto the bed, she slipped off her already unzipped dressed and climbed on top of the boy. she straddled his waist and leaned down to press her lips onto his neck.

"fuck," jj groaned. he guided her lips back up to his again before flipping them over. he reached over his head to the back of his shirt, pulling it off in one quick motion.

jj's hands roamed her nearly naked body before he slipped a finger into her underwear and rubbed against her sensitive spot. "shit," the girl breathed out at the sudden contact.

jj sucked on the spot below her ear again, knowing that it drove her crazy, before he molded his lips around hers again. he took this as an opportunity to slip his finger inside of her, making riley moan into his mouth.

the brunette's head fell back as she fell into a euphoric state. slowly attempting to regain her sanity, riley trailed her fingers gently down jj's stomach until they came to a stop at his shorts and she quickly began to fumble with the button.

"are you sure?" jj asked the girl, pulling away from her lips for just a moment.

"yes."
