"with your meaningless words, forget about it, you ruin every night"
chapter eight .. blackout drunk
...
BELLY BARGED INTO kaias room, barely knocking as she flung the door open "kaia! wake up now!" she whisper-yelled, shaking the girl urgently
kaia groaned, blinking as she tried to adjust to the morning light. "what the hell?" she muttered, still half asleep
belly sat down on the bed, her leg bouncing nervously. "i have to tell you something"
kaia sat up slowly, looking at her with her eyes barely open, "what belly?"
"i kissed jeremiah last night"
that woke kaia up immediately. her eyes flew open. "what?!" she exclaimed
"shh, shh! quiet!" belly whispered harshly, glancing toward the hallway. "keep it down! the whole house doesn't need to find out!"
kaia stared at her, stunned. she pressed her hand to her forehead. "okay, but.. what happened? where? how?"
kaia wasn't mad, not exactly. more like shocked. she knew something had been going on between them. jeremiah had been more present in bellys life so far this summer, more than usual. she just didn't expect this
belly laughed nervously, "okay, calm down" she paused as if not knowing where to start. "it was in the pool last night.. one thing led to another and.."
kaia held up her hand, "hold on. what about conrad? does he know?"
belly shook her head, "no, he doesn't. honestly, i don't know anything thats happening right now, even my dream life is complicated"
"what do you mean?" kaia asked, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion
"i.. i dreamt about kissing jeremiah in bed and then it switched to conrad and then back to jeremiah and they were both saying stuff about how im meant to be with them"
kaia just stared at her, "bells. you are in some deep shit"
"everythings gotten more complicated ever since that kiss, a kiss i can't stop thinking about, it's literally invading my dreams kaia" she explained
kaia shook her head and sighed, "you better figure this out, and soon" kaia put her finger up "don't be messing around with my brothers, okay? i don't want either of them to get hurt"
belly nodded, "yeah yeah, of course"
