Secrets-Conrad Fisher X MC

Chapter Thirteen

We all went for skinny dipping in the cove, splashing water on each other and laughing.
"Nicole, Conrad's texting you." Gigi says
"Okay coming." Nicole replies.
Nicole swims over to read the message.
"I like your friends Belly..they were cool with you and Jeremiah even Gigi." Taylor says.
"I knew you would." Isa smiles.
"Wait..I just realized something..Hashtag Team JellyfishER." Taylor gasps.
"Team Jellyfish!" I add.
"That's so dumb." Isa says.
"No..we're serious." I reply.
"I knew they were bitches!" Taylor sounded angry as she swims to the dock, I follow her.

"What's happening?" Isa asks.
"They took everything except for your phone." Taylor looks at me.
"which has a really incriminating text from Conrad." she adds.
"what does it say?" Isa asks.
"my mom did ask me to ask you to the ball, but that's not why I did it. Eve, I did it because I wanted to." Taylor reads the message.
I couldn't help but smile at the realization.

"team conrad." Isa chuckles.
"No..no..no..we need to get out of here first..but we can't walk home naked." I say.
"It could be even worse." Taylor adds.
"okay..what about that?" Isa points out at something which we could use as a cover.
"no..we don't even know what's that." Taylor shrugs.
"it's the only option." I add.

The three of us had been walking for a while now, I was in the front.
"Why can't you just call Conrad?" Taylor says.
"No..calling Conrad would be too much drama...I have texted Jeremiah." I reply.
"I can't walk two more miles." Taylor dramatically says.
"Shut up." Isa grins.
"Those girls were bitches, Belly!"
"I mean..this behavior from Nicole was unexpected..i would have understood if she did it with me..but why did she drag you two unecessarily into this mess." I say.
"No..absolutely no..leaving someone naked in a cove is fucking wrong..she should have sorted out her relationship on her own or maybe she should have talked to Conrad." Isa replies.
"Exactly..this behavior of hers was fucking immature!" Taylor adds.

Two cars approach us, Jeremiah comes out of the car and runs towards us.
"Belly are you alright?" He asks
Conrad gets out of the car and approaches us with a bag of clothes in his hand.
"What are you doing here?" Taylor says sternly.
"Nicole..she told me about.." Conrad says.
"I hope you told her to watch her back."

Conrad hands me the bag of clothes.
"Can you just.." I was finding the right words to use but somehow they didn't come into my mind at that moment.
Isa hands Jeremiah one end of the cloth and Conrad holds the other end of it. We changed while the two of them stood awkwardly, holding the cloth.
"Are you okay if I go with Conrad?" I whisper.
"Oh my god..that's a 1000% yes." Taylor exclaims.

I and Conrad sat silently in the car.
I kept looking outside the window to avoid his eyes.

"Evelyn...I am sorry.." Conrad says breaking away the silence.
"for what?" I simply ask without looking at him.
"I should have sorted out my issues with Nicole so she wouldn't have ended up dragging you into all of this." He says.
"It's not Nicole's fault completely though.."
"I know..I wasted her time..and yours as well..i acted like a jerk when I knew you had feelings for me."
I looked at him now.
"and I had feelings for you too." he continues.
"Can you pull-over for a moment?"
"Sure."
He stops the car on the side of the road.

"So you just pretended to be a jerk, Conrad?" I ask him.
"I didn't want to hurt you."
"Well..your silence was worse."
"But thank you for coming to help us." I continue.
He smiled.
"Oh and I will go to the deb ball with you..I'd love to be your date." I smile while holding his hand.
He gives me a reassuring smile and puts a strand of my hair behind my ear.

"Can you hear it?" I ask.
"what?"
"my heartbeat." I place his hand on my chest.
"it's beating really fast."

We both lean in closer, our eyes meeting briefly before our lips collide in a gentle, passionate kiss. It seemed like the world around us stopped and in that moment all the hurt from the past melted away. Eventually, we pull away from each other, smile beaming on our faces.

"What..stop looking at me like that." I chuckle.
"You look cute, Eve." He smiles.
"Conrad I am sorry but I must say..that playlist is boring."
"You hurted my feelings with that one."
"Taylor Swift's songs are mandatory for a drive." I say and put on 'Cruel Summer'.
We spent the rest of the drive vibing to the music, talking and laughing.
