Let's face it, that's precisely what is going on here. Josie fancies John James, and he is using this to his advantage. Notice how quiet he went when Sam mentioned magazine deals, and the relief on his face when the focus of the accusation was shifted towards Josie.
Everytime Josie mentions wanting to cool things or have some space, John James starts kissing her and hugging her like a leech so she thinks maybe he does like her after all. But he fails to defend her from Sam's horrible verbal onslaughts, in fact quite often he is in the background smirking at what he's seeing.
I wish Josie would grow a backbone and ditch this prize creep.
