Cousins

Chapter six

*In the morning*

I wipe my eyes and look over to see Susannah sleeping next to me. A small smile grows on my face and I slowly get out of bed. I go to my closet and change into a summer dress. I walk back into my room and see Susannah sitting up on my bed. "Hey Susannah." I whisper with a small smile.

"You look beautiful Y/n." She says quietly standing up in front of me.

"Thank you, I love you." I say wrapping my arms around her.

"I love you too Y/n." She says squeezing me tightly.

"Ok well I need to do my hair and makeup so i'll see you downstairs for breakfast." I whisper after we hug for a while.

"Ok, i'll see you downstairs." She states walking out of my room.

I sit at my vanity and get ready. It takes about twenty minutes and then I quickly walk downstairs. I see Conrad and I run over to his and embrace him in a hug. "Hey Con, how did you sleep?"

"Good." He replies shortly and pushing me off of him.

I grab his hand and ask quietly, "What did I do?"

"Stop Y/n!" He yells storming out of the kitchen.

I look over to Belly and Steven and ask, "Did I really do something wrong there?"

"I'm not sure. Conrad must've just had a hard night." Belly whispers with furrowed eyebrows.

"Thanks Bells. You are the best." I whisper going to the dining room and sitting next to Belly and my mom.

We all eat breakfast and my mom whispers to me, "I'm glad you finally ate." I give her a small smile and then help pick up.

After we're all done picking up I walk outside and see Conrad next to the pool. I walk over to him and stand next to him quietly. A few minutes had passed and I finally ask, "What did I do Con?"

"Y/n you didn't do anything. I'm sorry, I just don't know how to act around you." He says grabbing my hands and facing me towards him.

"What do you mean you don't know how to act around me?" I ask tilting my head.

"I mean every time i'm around you I get so nervous. You make me extremely nervous Y/n. And especially when you just touch me it makes me ten times as nervous. So when you just hugged me this morning I freaked out. I swear you did nothing wrong, I love you."

"Conrad, that's so cute. I love you too Connie." I whisper embracing him in a hug.

"Y/n do you want to go on the boat with Cleveland and I today?" He asks holding my hand with our feet in the pool.

"Yeah of course, anything to spend time with you." I respond laying my head on his shoulder.

Conrad looks down at me and gives me a small smile. I lift my head off his shoulder and kiss the tip of his nose. "What the hell did you just do Y/n?" He asks in a laugh.

"I don't know." I say before giggling and laying my head back on his shoulder.

"I love you Y/n." He whispers playing with my hair.

"I love you too Con." I whisper back playing with his hand.

After a few minutes we hear someone clear their throat behind us. I turn around and see Steven. "Hey Steven." I say with wide eyes. Lifting my head up quickly and ripping my hand away from Conrads.

"What's going on here?" Steven asks raising his eyebrows.

"Nothing, we were just talking." Conrad lies quickly.

"About what?" He asks suspiciously.

I look over to Conrad and suck my lips in. "About how i'm taking Y/n to the Deb ball." Conrad's states looking between Steven and I.

I give Conrad a huge smile that he returns. "Whatever guys." He whispers, rolling his eyes, and walking back inside.

"Are you actually going to take me to the Deb ball Con?" I ask intertwining our hands again.

"If you'll have me." He respond with a small smile.

"Of course i'll have you Connie." I squeal.

He pulls me into a hug. We sit like this for a few minutes. "Ok, we have to go meet Cleveland." He whispers tapping my arms.

"Alright." I whisper back before standing up.

I walk in before him so people don't except anything. I walk upstairs and put my hair up so it doesn't fly in my face. I walk back downstairs and walk out to Conrads car. "You're driving." He states handing me his keys.

"Yay!" I squeal snatching the keys out of his hands.

I drive smoothly all the way to the boat docks. "Wait did you just drive good?" He asks with a small smile.

"Shut up Con. I know i'm a good driver, no matter what you say." I say forgetting to put the car in park.

Conrad's eyes get wide and he says loudly, "Put the car in park Y/n!"

"Whoops." I whisper quickly putting the car in park.

"Y/n, love, i'm sorry, you aren't very good at driving." He whispers placing his hand on my thigh.

"Did you just call me love?" I ask flustered.

"Yeah what are you going to do about it?" He asks flirtatiously.

"Nothing, because Cleveland is staring at us from his car." I whisper breaking eye contact.

"Right Cleveland." He laughs.

We both get out of the car and walk over to Cleveland. "Hey Conrad and.." He says trailing on the and.

"Y/n, i'm Y/n, nice to meet you Cleveland." I state shaking his hand.

"You're Laurels daughter?" He asks anxiously.

"Yeah." I respond confused.

"Ok great. Let get on the boat." He says practically running over to the dock.

Conrad and I look at each other and start laughing. Then we follow Cleveland.

*On the boat*

Half and hour had passed and the wind started to pick up. I start to shiver to I put my hands on my arms. "You cold?" Cleveland and Conrad ask at the same time.

I laugh and then respond with, "I'm a bit cold but i'm fine."

"Here take my sweatshirt." Conrad whispers taking off his sweater and handing it to me.

"Thank you Connie. Tell me if you get cold so I can give it back." I say quietly and sitting down.

"Learning a lot from Conrad." He says hitting Conrad in the forearm.

"I'm glad." I state with a small smile staring at Conrad.

*Hours later*

"See you next time Conrad." Cleveland yells pulling out of the parking lot.

"Conrad I didn't know you knew that much about boats." I laugh grabbing onto his arm.

"Yep, i'm driving home this time." He whispers opening the door for me.

"Thank you." I whisper kissing his forehead.

"You're welcome." He responds quietly.

He get into the drivers seat, then places his hand in front of mine, and I interlaced our hands. I give him a small smile and then look over to the window. Thinking about even though Conrad is all i've ever wanted. I felt like nothing was right.
