The next morning Belly woke up with a smile on her face as she jumped out of bed and ran down the hall to Conrad's room, but it was empty along with Jeremiah's room and Steven's, Belly headed downstairs and sat down on the couch next to Susannah. "Hey, Belly" Susannah said smiling "Hey uh wh- where are the boys?" Belly asked, "The boys went to the beach honey" Susannah replied "Ok thanks," Belly said then she went back upstairs changed into her bathing suit and headed back downstairs.
"Are you going to the beach hun?" Susannah asked "Uh no I'm going to tan by the pool" Belly replied "Ok hun have fun," Susannah said as Belly walked outside. Belly relaxed on the sun lounge for what felt like hours, she closed her eyes and was hit by what felt like rain, she opened her eyes to see Conrad shaking his wet hair over her.
"Hey," she said happily Conrad bent down and kissed her "Hey" he replied "Ok we get it you like each other," Jeremiah said "God get a room you two" Steven added "Shut up" Belly replied getting up "Now would anyone care to join me in the pool?" she asked "Yea I'll join you Bells" Conrad replied "well, in that case, me and Jere will be playing video games" Steven said as he followed Jeremiah inside.
Belly dived into the pool and Conrad followed her, they enjoyed the water for a while and laughed at each other as they floated around the pool. "Jere was wrong you know about us liking each other" Conrad said softly and Belly's heart sank "What do you mean?" She asked confused and slightly hurt at his words "I don't like you Belly, I love you" he replied with a smile, Belly was relieved "I love you too Conrad" she told him happily.
Belly continued to float around while Conrad held his hands under her back and walked slowly around the pool, "This is nice" Belly said "It is but I have something better in mind" Conrad replied, "And what's that?" Belly asked standing up in the water curiously but he didn't respond, instead he wrapped his arms tightly around Belly's waist and kissed her.
"I want you Belly, i really want you" Conrad said quietly, Belly put her arms around his neck and whispered softly in his ear "I've wanted you since I was ten" she smiled and then kissed him, a few minutes later Susannah came outside "Hey mom, what's up?" Conrad asked with a smile from ear to ear. "I just want to talk to Belly about something" Susannah replied happily, "Sure" Belly replied swimming to the edge of the pool.
Belly climbed out of the pool, and wrapped her towel around her waist before sitting down on the sun lounge next to Susannah. "What did you want to talk about?" She asked Susannah "I got you an invitation to be a debutante" She replied excitedly, "Oh my god Susannah I- I don't what to say" Belly replied shocked. "You should try thank-you" Conrad said Jokingly "Uh thank-you so much Susannah" Belly said happily.
Susannah ran inside to tell Laurel and Belly dived back into the pool, "You're going to be a debutante Bells" Conrad said softly, "I've always wanted to be a deb i just never thought I get the chance" she replied with a smile. "You know you need an escort for the ball right?" Conrad asked, "Yea of course I know that I think I already know who I'm going to ask" she replied and Conrad blushed "I gotta go find Jeremiah" Belly said looking towards the house, "Wait, what?" Conrad asked puzzled "I'm kidding" Belly said laughing, "Obviously I'm going with you" she added red in the face from laughing.
Conrad sighed in relief, he grabbed Belly's arms and pulled her under the water. He wanted to kiss her but she kissed him first, he smiled as they swam up for air "I love you Belly" he said softly, "I love you too Conrad" Belly replied kissing him again. The couple were interrupted when Susannah called out to everyone for dinner, after dinner Belly went up to her room to call Taylor her best friend from home. They talked for hours until Belly went for her usual late night swim, as she floated Belly thought about all the things she had to look forward to. The debutante ball she had always dreamed of attending and her 16th birthday which was also fast approaching.
Belly went upstairs and laid in bed staring at the ceiling when she heard a knock on the door, "Come in" she whispered and the door opened, it was Susannah "Hey Belly, I just wanted to let you know your mom and I are taking you shopping tomorrow" Susannah whispered, "Ok thank-you" Belly replied yawning. Belly put her head down and fell asleep instantly, "Goodnight Belly" Susannah whispered as she left the room closing the door quietly behind her.
Belly woke in the morning with a big smile, she threw on some clothes and ran downstairs where Conrad was waiting for her "Cereal?" He asked "Yea, hit me" Belly replied, Conrad placed a bowl of cereal in front of her along with a spoon and the milk. "Thank-you Conrad" Belly said "No problem Bells I'm going for a surf with the boys have fun shopping" he replied kissing her before walking outside.
Belly couldn't help but smile as she ate her cereal, "Belly we are leaving in 20 minutes make sure you're ready alright" Susannah called out from the living room, "Ok Susannah" Belly replied. She finished her cereal then raced upstairs to brush her teeth and her hair, she put on some shorts and a little blue crop top before picking up her sandals and racing back downstairs.
