SUMMER CAN LAST FOREVER

WINTER BREAK

CONRAD
Its december 20th, and today we are all going to cousins to spend the last 2 weeks of the year there. Even stevens coming, and will be driving over with us. Ill be taking jere and taylor with me. Belly wants to go with her mom and steven, which i understood. Weve just finished loading up all the stuff, im excited to go to cousins. Belly puts all her stuff in the back seat of laurels car, before coming over to me. "Ill miss you" she hugs me.

"Ill miss you more, enjoy the time with your mom and steven though" i kiss her quick, before anyone sees.

Taylor and jeremiah are already in the rover when i get in. "Poor conrad, he has to be apart from his great love for a mere hour!" jere states dramatic.

"Shut up!" i say shaking my head, and smiling. Taylor insists on listening to her music which i hate, but now that shes jeremiahs girlfriend, i have to tolerate some things. They play a game of i spy, followed by would you rather. My mind wanders to belly and i driving here just the two of us, and how it snowed.

I hope it snows again, a year ago belly also gave me the most personal thing to her, and i nearly fucked it all up. Im glad shes coming back as my girlfriend of a year. I didnt think i could ever be with someone for this long, til belly. "Laurel needs gas, were stopping at the 7-11 ahead" jeremiahs voice snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Sounds good, thanks man" i reply. Ten minutes later, we pull into the parking lot, we decide to go inside. Belly and steven are there getting snacks.

"He was totally flirting with you!" i hear steven say.

My interest is peaked, but i stay quiet, as i browse the chips.
"No he wasnt!" she agrues.

"Are you kidding me? The guy pats the seat, calls you beautiful, says hell take you to wherever it is your going, and oh so many more destinations, you just stood there laughing!" steven replies.

"Because i thought it was funny!" belly responds exasperated at her brothers antics. Im with steven on this one.

"Youre lucky con wasnt there," steven rolls his eyes. They wander over by the drinks. Steven turns, and makes eye contact with me. "Hey" he says.

Belly turns around too, "how long have you been there?" she asks skeptical.

"Just got here" i smirk.

"Youre lying, how much did you hear?" belly looks at me.

"Hear what, i didnt hear anything. Certainly not anything about a motorcylist trying to pick you up off the street," i say sarcastic.

"Great, so you heard it all" belly crosses her arms. 

"He was so definitley flirting" i say, she hits my arm, "ow, isabel" i groan.

"Youre suppose to side with me" she tells me. We pay for our things, and then go back out.

"Oh my god hes back" steven says wide eyed.

I watch as a black and red bike pulls back in. He gets off, and removes his helmet, before coming up to belly.
"I got half a mile down the road, before i realized something babe. I never got your name or your number" he goes to put his arm around her, but i stop him.

"Hey man what the hells your problem?" he says with attitude
"She was mine first!" he adds. The audacity this guy has. How fucking dare he call MY isabel his. What a load of bullshit.

"Oh shit" stevens eyes dart between us. He knows i dont fuck around when it comes to belly. Part of the reason he likes me for her.

"Con lets just leave," belly tugs at me. Thats her way of begging me to drop it. Some things i cant just drop this is onenof those things. I will never be able to stand by and let anyone disrespect or flirt with my girl.
