Not my gif! Credits to the amazing owner.
Summary: yesterday I watched The Notebook and I thought it would be cute to write a JJ fic based on it!
This is 100% inspired in the Notebook so credits to the wonderful Nicholas Sparks!
Also I kinda used Grammarly for this (go ahead you can make fun of me lamo) so I’m hoping the grammar’s better than my other writings.
Your right hand played with the expensive pearls decorating your neck while as you waited patiently outside the Cameron’s residence. You took a few seconds to admire your surroundings before sighing and letting your body rest against the handle of your heavy suitcase.
The Cameron’s house had a great view of the beach. You could smell the salty water all the way from here, and hear the heavenly sound of the waves crashing. You could easily get used to this.
It had been a few years since the last time you visited the Outer Banks, you had forgotten how peaceful it could get. If you were completely honest, you’ve always liked the island better than the mainland. Life was less stressful here.
Your thoughts were suddenly interrupted by an all familiar squeal.
“Y/N!” Your favorite cousin, also known as your best friend, engulfed you in a bone-crushing hug.
“Sarah I missed you!” You laughed lightly hugging the blonde back. It had been a few months since the last time you saw her.
The real reason why you stopped visiting the Outer Banks was that Sarah’s family liked going to the mainland, and your parents thought it was more convenient to have them over than to travel to the island. But being completely honest, the Outer Banks was one of your favorite places in the world. You missed it like crazy.
“I can’t believe you’re finally here! I swear I was going to lose my shit in this hell hole all by myself” your dear cousin exclaimed taking your luggage for you.
“Oh come on Sarah, it can’t be that bad” you said as you both entered her big house.
“Oh but it is. Wheezie’s puberty is unbearable, and ever since I started dating John B. Rafe’s being an extra asshole” you chuckled at your best friend’s words. “Oh and don’t even get me started on Rose”
Sarah stood out like a thumb in her family. Your relatives had quite a reputation of being snobbish, but the eldest girl kinda swam against the current. In a way, Sarah was a lot like you. Both of you constantly questioned your privileges, but being completely honest, you had a hard time on stopping from benefiting from them. Wealthy hippies. Some would’ve called you.
“I can’t wait to meet this John B. you’ve been telling me about!” You said trying to distract Sarah from her negative thoughts about her family. She looked like she needed a break.
“Oh he’s the greatest Y/N, you’ll love him!” Sarah exclaimed as you both made your way up to her room. “He’s funny, adventurous and such a gentleman-”
“Look at you! Is the Sarah Cameron in love?” You teased before throwing yourself at queen-sized bed.
“Oh don’t mind me! Go get comfy in my bed while I drag your heavy ass bag around” she chose to ignore your remark, still carrying your suitcase for you.
“Stop being dramatic” you rolled your eyes as she dropped your bag besides the bed before sitting next to you. “Seriously though, when will I get to meet my best friend’s boyfriend?”
“Tonight. There’s a party at his house and we are going” she smirked. “We’ve got about thirty minutes to be ready so let’s go” Sarah smacked your arm playfully before jumping towards her wardrobe.
“Are you kidding me? Have you at least asked your dad for permission yet?” You asked knowing your cousin had a bit of a habit for getting you both into trouble.
“Ask me permission for what exactly?” Ward’s figure popped into the room.
Meanwhile, on the other side of town, four pogues were already enjoying the beginning of what looked like a good night. JJ Maybank was sitting in the sandy ground with his friends, a red solo cup full of beer resting in his hand.
“-All I’m saying is I’m glad my girls are finally getting along” John B. said.
JJ shared a look with Pope. Honestly, John B. could be an idiot sometimes.
“Don’t push it. Sarah and I are trying to tolerate each other for your sake” Kie answered with an eye-roll. “Is she even coming anyway?”
“Yeah, she’s just running a little late”
“Or she finally realized what a dumbass you are and won’t show up” JJ teased earning a smack on the back of his head. “Ouch!”
“I don’t know guys, Jarah is kinda growing on me” Pope said out of the blue.
“-You did not just say that”
“That’s why you’re my favorite Pope”
The sun was setting and the beach in front of the Chateau was getting packed by the minute. Kooks, pogues and tourons, all gathered around the only common taste they had: a keg. A big one at that, standing right in the middle of John B.’s backyard.
JJ had lost his friends about an hour ago while a touron flirted shamelessly with him. The thing was that JJ wasn’t in that mood tonight. So when the fake blonde girl throwing herself at him announced she had to go to the bathroom, JJ wasted no time on running away from her.
He spotted John B. filling a cup at the keg, all by himself.
“Your girl didn’t show up?” JJ threw his hands over his best friend’s shoulders in a brotherly way.
“She did actually, jus needed a refill” John B. smirked motioning with his head towards Sarah and her crowd.
John B.’s girlfriend was sitting in the Chateau’s porch, surrounded by kooks. Honestly, JJ didn’t get how his friend could stand it. He liked the Cameron girl alright, just not her crowd. But John B. had this weird deal with her where he promised to at least try to put up with her friends and family.
JJ was about to come up with a snarky remark when something, or rather someone caught his attention.
In his eyes, you effortlessly stood out around the multitude. He’d never seen you before, he’d remembered if he did. There was no way in this world JJ could ever forget a face like that.
You were laughing at something a prissy kook had said, and JJ had never longed to hear anything that bad in his life.
Something about you just seemed to pull him in.
“Who’s this girl with Sarah?” he asked casually to John B. He didn’t want to sound too interested.
“That’s Sarah’s cousin, her name’s Y/N Cameron. She’s here for the summer. Dad’s got more money than God” John B. shook his head with a smile on his face.
“Ah, a natural kook then” JJ grimaced.
Of course, you were a kook. Everything about you screamed rich girl. You wore this red expensive-looking sundress, that exposed some seriously mouthwatering thighs. JJ was confident you had no idea of how you had half of the Outer Banks population drooling over you.
“I’m not sure she cares about that at all. She’s pretty cool actually” John B. said and JJ had to bit his cheek for preventing himself from smiling at that.
The brunette started to make his way towards his girlfriend with JJ hot on his feet. You were surrounded by kooks, and talking to you would make them absolutely mad. JJ could only smirk at the thought. What a way to kill birds with one stone.
You were having a great time so far. You had met Sarah’s boyfriend, which you thought was one of the coolest persons on the island, and you also got to hang out with some of her old friends. Out of the corner of your eye, you saw your cousin making out with his boyfriend resulting in you shaking your head with a smile.
You were too concentrated in your conversation with Kelce and his friends that you didn’t notice a certain blonde-haired guy making his way towards you.
“You wanna grab a drink with me?”
He completely caught you off guard. Your eyes widened as you stared briefly at him. He was no doubt the hottest guy you’ve seen in the Outer Banks so far.
But there was something about him. The way he carried himself, he seemed so cocky. You knew he was probably expecting you to jump at the chance of spending some time with him as other girls would.
You knew his type, and you certainly knew how to handle guys like him.
“No.” You said confidently making the kooks around you snicker.
“Why not?” he didn’t even seem fazed by your rejection, which bothered you even more.
“Cause I don’t want to” you were afraid he could read right through you.
It wasn’t the fact that he looked like a pogue, you honestly didn’t give a damn about that. It was the fact that he seemed too full of himself. Someone had to put that guy in his place.
“She’s with us pogue” a guy you didn’t recognize said with cruelty making you frown. That’s the only thing you didn’t like about Outer Banks, the whole pogue vs. kook shit.
“Care to get a drink with me Y/N?” Kelce asked.
Your eyes didn’t leave the stranger’s blue ones as you smiled teasingly before answering “I’d love to”.
And with that, you walked away with Kelce and the others.
That probably was a first for him. Well deserved.
“She’s a tough one isn’t she?” you heard the blonde chuckle behind you making you smile.
You guessed the stranger was probably talking to Sarah, who seemed awfully quiet during the whole thing.
Sarah rolled her eyes before chasing after you, dragging John B. with her. She caught you secretly looking back at the blonde stranger and smirked, letting go of her boyfriend’s hand and linking your arm in hers instead. She dragged you a bit further from the group.
“JJ Maybank” she silently said.
“The guy you’re ogling at, that’s JJ Maybank, John B’s friend” she teased.
“I’m not ogling! Did you see the way he talked to me? Not even a ‘hello’ geez” you muttered.
“Yeah, that’s JJ. I’m surprised he came over, with you hanging around the kooks and all. I think he likes you” your cousin smirked earning an eye-roll from you.
“I’ll never understand the kook vs pogue thing” you confessed out loud.
“Then you’ll never understand the Outer Banks beautiful” Kelce annoyingly popped into your conversation before dragging you towards the keg.
In JJ Maybank’s eyes, you were a strange mix between conservative and sexy. It drove him mad. He was once again left on his own, but this time his eyes searched through the crowd for you.
The pogue was known for being stubborn, so when he saw you sitting in old stairs at the porch talking away with Kelce, he couldn’t help but make his way towards you two.
JJ plopped down in the tiny space that separated you from the kook, and he almost let out a laugh at your surprised gasp.
“Hey pogue what do you think you’re doing?” he heard Kelce’s angry voice but completely ignored it, turning his body towards you.
“Hi. I’m JJ Maybank” he stuck out his right hand to you.
“So?” your cheeks adopted a scarlet color, which made him smirk.
“So hello. It’s nice to meet you-”
“Maybank would you mind?” the kook didn’t know when to shut up did he?
“Go out with me” it was a bold thing to say, but he was JJ Maybank. That’s what he did.
“What?” your voice sounded beyond confused he almost barked out a laugh.
“Y/N you know this guy?” Kelce asked incredulously.
“I would really like to take you out on a date” JJ insisted.
“No” JJ was starting to think you were almost as stubborn as he was.
“Because I don’t want to”
But you did want to. He could tell. During the last hour he had caught you at least five times staring at him, and two of those times you had gave him a teasing smile. Besides, you still hadn’t walked away from him, that had to mean something right?
“She said no pogue, so why don’t you get out of here?”
“Not until she agrees to go out with me” JJ looked at you expectantly.
“Fine then… you leave me no other choice” he sighed before standing up.
What he was about to do was pretty reckless, but nothing new.
JJ expertly climbed through the nearest tree towards the Chateau’s roof and started dangling from it with one hand.
It really was nothing new. John B. and he used to hang around the roof quite a lot as kids, though he had to admit, if he were to slip it would be a dangerous 14 feet fall that would probably end up in an injured arm or leg.
That caught your attention alright. You started to scream incoherently worried out of your mind.
People started to gather around the commotion.
“JJ what the fuck are you doing?!” John B. yelled shaking his head.
“JJ you’re gonna get yourself killed” Kie yelled out. Now that was an exaggeration. JJ chose to ignore his friends.
“One date Y/N that’s all I’m asking for” JJ laughed lightly.
“JJ get down you idiot!” Sarah ordered.
“Not until she agrees to go on a date with me” JJ yelled out. “Goddamit my hand is slipping!” he exaggerated, but still didn’t receive the answer he wanted from you.
“Oh just go out with him honey! He’s not gonna stop” Pope pleaded.
“Fine! Fine, I’ll go out with you!” you freaked out.
“I don’t do any favors you know”
“No! No! I want to” your tone was almost desperate, but JJ being JJ wanted a bit more.
“I wanna go out with you!”
“Y/N” Kelce hissed but was ignored.
“I WANT TO GO OUT WITH YOU!” Now that was probably heard by the whole island.
Satisfied JJ steadied himself so he was now hanging from both hands, reducing the risk of falling to the ground.
“Alright, alright, we’ll go out chill” he said smugly looking down at you.
“Oh you think you’re so smart don’t you?” you said madly before making your way towards him.
JJ could feel your cold hands undoing the buttons of his pants, and not in the way he had fantasized about a few hours ago. “Please don’t do this”
You ignored his words, pulling down his pants so that he stood in his underwear before everyone at the party. Naturally, nobody could contain their laughter.
“Not so cocky now are you?” you haunted.
“I’m going to get back at you for that” he promised still dangling from the ceiling.
“Maybe you will, maybe you won’t” you laughed crossing your arms over your chest smugly.
So what do you think? Please let mi know if you’d like a part 2 to this? :)
