my person - Fisher Brothers ❁

Y/N POV
An hour had passed and I was placing the clean dishes away in the cupboards.
My eyes glanced outside the kitchen window, there I saw Belly and Conrad having a moment on the dock, talking to one another. I was hoping that belly was confessing her feelings to him.
"Sleep with me tonight?" a voice asked,
Jere had come up behind me and rested his chin into my shoulder.
"Of course, would Susannah mind?" I asked curiously, Jeremiah laughed before making a funny facial expression.
"She won't mind, If she doesn't know.." Jere replied with a smug face, I rolled my eyes before turning to face him.
"You make me feel... good, I love this feeling." I whispered, Jere had the brightest smile ever.
"Likewise. The way you stare at me, smile at me. Uh can't get enough of you." Jere explained before placing kisses all over my face.
My hands cupped his cheeks,
"Let's sleep ok, I'm drained." I whispered, he smirked happily and suddenly lifted me, throwing me over his shoulder.
"Let's go to sleep now." He commented carrying me all the way to his room.

Jeremiah POV
Y/n was talking about anything and everything, I just admired her and listened in. Enjoying her company. I smiled to myself as she kept talking, she locked eyes with me and stopped talking.
"Are you zoned out? I'm sorry." She mentioned, I nodded a no and told her to continue.
"Im listening, but I'm also just happy you're in bed with me."
Y/n's eyes widened at my reply. We stayed quiet for 2 minutes just staring at one another.
"Be my girlfriend?"
I gulped so nervously after I asked that question. Y/n inhaled before answering.
"Yeah, of course." She whispered, my jaw tingled because I couldn't stop smiling so aggressively. Y/n snuggled into my chest before falling asleep.
Before I eventually fell asleep, I kept thinking about whether laurel would be okay with me dating her niece.

I woke up and realised y/n wasn't in bed, I rolled over to check the time.

7:03am

I placed a shirt on before making my way downstairs for a coffee. I heard voices mumbling in the kitchen.
"So you and jere?" Belly squealed, Y/n giggled, I could just imagine her perfect smile.
I stopped in my tracks and was standing in the foyer, by the front door.
"Belly, I can't even explain it. Jere says the right things and it feels like my heart glows when he's around." Y/n expressed.
"You sound so in love." Belly sung teasing her.
"I think I am...no I'm sure I am." y/n replied.
I smiled to myself. I ran back upstairs to go grab my car keys.

Y/N POV
"I can't believe you're with jere, it just makes me happy that 2 important people in my life found love within each other." Belly said with her hands up to her heart, she smiled so brightly.
"Thank you my bells."
Belly hugged me quickly before making her way out of the kitchen.
"Where you off too?"
"I gotta get ready for my debutante dance rehearsal." she replied before cringing.

My coffee in my hand I made my way back upstairs and into Jere's room, he wasn't there. His jeep wasn't here either.

"I guess I'm home alone?" I whispered to myself.

Before I even walked out of Jeremiah's room I came face to face with Conrad in the hallway.
"Hi." he mumbled, I hesitated to even say hello.

"Hi Connie."

He stood there as if he wanted to ask me something.
"Y/n, can we talk? Maybe walk down the beach?" He asked while rubbing the back of his neck.
Then again I hesitated.
What was there to talk about?
I looked around, trying my best to come up with a lie.
But I couldn't lie to him.
"Sure but there's no need for the beach walk, we can talk here." I replied.
"Anything, yeah I don't mind." He whispered back.
We decided to sit on Jeremiah's bed.

We were quiet for 30 seconds which felt like an eternity.
"So I just wanted to say sorry about our conversation the other day, my tone was off
because obviously, I'm jealous. It's not right for me to act like that."
I sat there and took it all in.
"And I'm sorry it wasn't the way you wanted it to turn out. But Conrad, you clearly have played with Nicole's feelings, and I know deep down you love belly. I can see it. Connie you can't be making out with a 'on and off fling' and then the next day ask me on a date expecting me to agree." I explained.
Conrad gulped loudly, accepting the lecture I was giving him.
"I know, my actions were wrong y/n. Please just know that I feel this way about you, and I'll work on myself to be better."

An exhale left my chest as I stood up to face him.

"I want to be better for you."

I stopped him before he said anything else.

"You have to be better for yourself Connie, please don't do this for me.... Do it for you." I replied.
Suddenly jere walked in, he looked at the both of us.
"Thanks for the talk Connie." I said, hoping Conrad would just leave, which he did.

Jeremiah's POV

"He just wanted to apologise to me."
I inhaled before licking my lips, y/n pulled me closer towards her.
"I trust you. I'll have a talk with him later." I replied. My eyes locked with hers,
I felt myself tense up.
"Where did you even go this morning? You snuck out." Y/n asked smiling, I looked up and tried not to look suspicious.
"I went to buy a few things in town, but you'll see tonight." I replied. Her face lit up and she raised one eyebrow.
Her cute little face.
"I've got a short shift today at the club, and then I'll come to pick you up for our surprise date ok?" I assured y/n, she clapped her hands happily.
"Want me to drive you to work?" She asked, I pouted my lip.
"You're the cutest and bestest girlfriend, I'm so lucky." I said before kissing her.
