Cousins

Chapter two

We all got into the Jeep. Jeremiah driving, Steven in the passenger, Belly on the left in the back, Conrad on the right, and I sat in the middle. Jeremiah starts playing some random music from his playlist. I look over at Conrad, who's already looking at me, and I ask, "Why didn't you ask Belly if she wanted to come? Also why didn't you tell Jere I was coming?"

"With Belly I just forgot, i'm really sorry I messed up. She's coming though, which is great. With Jere I just really didn't see him. I went to the beach and didn't seem him on the way down. Otherwise I would've told him, I promise." He replies. I knew he felt bad so I forgave him.

"It's alright Conrad." I say laying my head on his shoulder. I stay like this until we get to the beach.

I get out after Belly and then we all split up. I stayed with Belly. Steven and Jermiah went off with some girls. Conrad went by the fire by himself. "Belly we should at least TRY to make some friends." I say grabbing a water, because Belly and I don't feel the need to drink.

"Please not right now. Can we just sit by the fire?" She pleads.

I give in and reply, "Fine, but we'll need to do it eventually." She nods indicating she understands, so we take a seat in the sand.

I look over across the fire and see Conrad making out with some girl. I roll my eyes and ask, "Belly do you know who that is?" With sourness laced in my voice.

"The one who Conrad is making out with? No clue." She replies with the same sourness in her voice as me.

I nod and whisper, "He'd look better with you."

I see her start blushing and then says in a laugh, "Shut up."

"I'm serious Bells, you guys are like soulmates or whatever." I say with a serious face.

"Well I hope so." She replies with the same serious face.

"Want to go talk to him?" I ask looking over across the fire at Conrad.

"Not while he's making out with that girl." She responds with a smile.

After moments of silence I decided to speak up and say, "I talked to Connie earlier, he's fine fyi."

"Alright, i'm glad. Maybe he was tired today." She replies with a shrug.

"Yeah, probably. He did take like an hour and half nap earlier." I say with a laugh.

"How do you know that?" She asks, confused, but also like jealous.

"We were just talking and he fell asleep, in my arms." I whisper.

"Seriously Y/n? I'm gonna go talk to Jere." She says obviously angry, getting up, and walking away.

I take a deep breath and pull out my phone. I see a text from Conrad.

Conrad- Are you jealous?
Y/n- Shut up.
Conrad- Come over here.

"Hey." I whisper sitting next to him.

"Hey, what're you drinking?" He asks seeing my red solo cup.
