AFTER GIGI, SHAYLA AND NICOLE ARRIVED. They all gathered at the pool, except for Jeremiah, Belly and Lanelle along with Victoria, they decided to learn her famous margarita drink.
Victoria explained how she made a bartender in Texas show her how to make the drink with some pomegranates.
Lanelle watched as Victoria poured the drink in four sets of glasses — only leaving two and asking Lanelle and Belly to give the rest to the guests.
But as Victoria left — Lanelle and Belly drank them, while Jeremiah watched. Lanelle felt Jeremiah watching her so she did the only reasonable thing, she offered her drink.
"You want some?" She offered while trying her best not look him in the eyes.
Jeremiah nodded, and took the drink from her hand, purposefully touching her hand while taking it. Lanelle knew that he was doing this on purpose, he just wanted a reason to touch her.
"It tastes like a slurpee." Jeremiah remarked while not bothering to give Lanelle her drink back — he just drank everything.
"You did not just drink all of that?" Lanelle asked him in shock.
Jeremiah shrugged, Lanelle's heart tugged at his short response.
"We have to make more!" Belly exclaimed — her eyes practically filled with hearts, since the drink was so good.
"Don't go overboard Belly." Lanelle warned her, but not that opposed to the idea of making more, that drink was good.
"I won't! We're kids we have to enjoy ourselves." Belly responded while opening the cabinet to search for more ingredients so she could make more margaritas.
"What are you guys making?" Conrad asked as he walked in, seeing Belly holding up a can of pomegranates.
"Alcoholic drinks." Lanelle bluntly answered.
Conrad frowned, "What?"
"We're making pomegranates, with a twist." Belly answered while looking at the boy.
"Well if you're making that you have to use the good blender." Conrad joined in a smile growing on his face.
"Could we speed this process up, please?" Lanelle complained while throwing a glare at Jeremiah for finishing her drink, to the last droplet.
"Why are you glaring at me?" Jeremiah chuckled at the girl he liked.
"I'm not glaring at you..I'm simply squinting my eyes."
"I'll make you another one." He promised
"You better." Lanelle retorted, while a warm feeling was spreading through her chest. This was the Jeremiah that she liked.
Conrad passed the blender to Belly with the fruit.
"Coming right up!" Belly smiled
"Are you trying to kill us Conrad?" Lanelle exclaimed as she saw that he practically poured the whole bottle of alcohol in the blender.
