STELLA CONKLIN'S POV

╚═══════════════╝

Conrad lied down on the couch when we got home and i just laid on top of him. He wrapped his arms around my waist to keep me secure. And we haven't moved since. It's now probably around 8, and i could tell Conrad was starting to feel hungover because he kept telling everyone to shush and quiet down every time it got loud. 

"Do we really have to physically sit for our portraits? Can't she just, like, look at a picture on her phone or something?" Jeremiah starts from the kitchen, "Okay, get out." 

Steven then starts to laugh, and too loud for that matter. conrad was not the only one hungover right now. 

"Can you guys shut up please," i yell at them from the living room. 

"She needs to see you in the flesh in order to capture your essence. While you're still young and full of hope," My mum answers Jere. 

"Essence my ass." i say to Conrad, considering i was still lying on top of him. 

"Very funny ell," i lift my head up and peck his lips, him doing the same to mine. 

"Her words."

"Well, Conrad and Stella do not have hope, actually. They're hopeless, but my hangover smoothie, it cures all," Jere says. 

"Can you please just hurry up," Conrad tells him. 

"Just go make out with ell alright?" I can just picture the look Mum just gave Jeremiah. 

"You can't tell him to do something he's already doing," Conrad smacks the back of my head and starts laughing at me. 

"Stella Daisy, that's enough," Mum yells at me, i crossed the line, oops.

"This is a delicate science Steven, and your breath is going to break the yolk," Jere jokes with Steven, him clearly getting in the way, typical Steven Conklin. 

"She hasn't painted you since you were little. I think it'd be nice to have these portraits for when you're older," Mum continues. 

I actually kind of agree but having to sit for over an hour, completely still, sounds like a nightmare. 

"Old? no. When i'm older, i'm sure there'll be like, holograms or something i can watch of myself, you know?" Steven says trying to be funny. 

"Yeah we know you robot ass," he pokes his head through the entryway and gives me a look, i turned my head around just in time to see it. 

Then the blender goes off and Conrad and i jerk a little bit, getting startled by the sudden noise. But his arms don't leave me, even better they wrap around tighter, bringing more comfort as he lowers his head back down onto the head rest. 

"Just sit for your portraits, i don't see them complaining." 

"I'll complain when i'm conscious mum" i say back, she laughs. 

"Hey. Here's this. Can you guys share?" i nod at him.

"Thanks Jere," i take the glass of green juice and hand it to Conrad first.

"You get first sip, make sure it's not poisonous," i smile at him as he takes the glass out of my hand and takes a sip. 

Before i can ask if it tastes any good his lips are on mine, he pulls back laughing. 

"Yuck, Conrad gross," i wipe the green liquid off my lips, all i can see is the proud look on his face. 

"You're a huge child," i say as i take the glass back from him. 

"I am no child," he frowns at me. 

"The biggest child," i lean in again and kiss him just one more time, because why not?

"Those old country club boomers are gonna tip me so hard, man, they won't know what hit 'em," Steven starts to brag about his cool job. 

Him and Jere are the only ones working this summer. I work all school year, summer is my time to relax and do nothing for once. 

"Shut up snack shack no one cares," i yell from the couch again, i still haven't moved or gotten up yet. 

"Belly, where have you been?" Mum asks as i get up off Conrad and the couch and walk into the kitchen. The bruise she copped last night making a full appearance. 

"Woah belly your face," i go to walk up to her but my mums stops me. 

"Just go back to Conrad Stella, i don't care," my eyes go wide, is Belly really that mad? 

"God, grow up Belly," i walk out of the kitchen, forgetting why i even went in there in the first place and walk back over to Conrad. 

He opens his arms, but instead of falling into them i grab his hands and pull him up. 

"Up for a swim? I still have my suit on," i ask him, not wanting to be inside anymore. 

"Yes always with you Ell," he put his arms around my waist and mine go around his neck. He leans in and we kiss for a few seconds until i hear my mum speak up. 

"Is that a bruise Belly?" I see Mum brush Belly's hair out of her face. Did she not hear me ask that before? 

"Um, i bumped into someone," she is really the worst liar, i thought i taught her well, but  guess not. 

"You bumped into someone?" Mum asks her. Belly looks over at us, seeing Conrad hugging me from behind, us facing into the kitchen listening to the conversation happening. 

"Doesn't look that bad," Conrad says to them as he wraps his arms around my waist more and rests his chin on my shoulder. Belly just rolls her eyes at us in response.

"Oh my god! Belly is gonna be a debutante," susannah runs through the living room into the kitchen, holding belly's invitation in her hand. 

"It's really not that big of a deal," belly says, starting to go shy. 

"I'm sorry. Like, belly?" I say as i walk into the kitchen, dragging Conrad with my hand connected with his. 

"Like, our sister? Like, that thing right there?" Steven says as he points to belly, sounding surprised. 

"Shut up, cretin."

"Okay, this is going to be so much fun. Just you wait. There is the tea, the auction, the ball, of course and the rehearsal. I got to write this down," Susannah goes on a rant. Trying to find pen and paper. 

"We need to go shopping," i tune out the rest of the conversation and i walk Conrad and i back into the living room. We sit back down on the couch. 

"Still wanna go for that swim?" He immediately nods at me. I smile at him, he smiles at me.

"Belly, are you sure you want to do this? It doesn't seem very you," i hear Mum say to Belly. Making me and Conrad stay put for a little bit longer. 

"It's not," Conrad and i say at the same time. 

"Conrad and Stella, can you be a little bit more supportive?" Susannah turns to us. 

"Um no, not a chance Anna, sorry," i say back, copping a look from Belly. 

"Now, which one of you is going to be belly's escort to the ball?" Susannah asks the boys. 

"Not me i went last year. And i'm with Stella now," Conrad replies. 

"You're with me huh?" I whisper in his ear, smiling wide. 

"Yes my love," he turns and starts tickling me and leans in and kisses me, i kiss him back and i hear Jere gag in the kitchen. 

"Gross, and i swore off balls," Jere says next, another rejection for belly. Steven starts laughing, still having the mindset of a 5 year old. 

"The dances, dude," Jeremiah classifies.

"Wow. Guys. Stop fighting over me," Belly says as she plays with her cereal, twirling her spoon around the bowl. 

"Um, i'm not going with either of you. I am going to find my own date," as she finishes Conrad stands and puts his hand out for me to take, which i gladly do. 

"We're going for a swim," Conrad says to everyone, earning a nod from Susannah and Steven wriggling his eyebrows up and down, immature ass. 

Conrad guides me outside and over to the pool chairs on the side. He lets go of my hand to take his shirt off. I proceed to do the same, i take my shirt and shorts off to reveal my favourite black bikini i've had on all morning. Conrad takes my clothes out of my hands and admires my body for a few seconds and throws them onto the chair along with his. 

He takes my hand again and walks over to the pool. He wraps his arms around my waist, i knew what he was doing. 

"3, 2 ,1," and all i can feel is cold water. 

"What the heck Conrad," he just jumped in. 

"You're cute when you're angry Ell," i swim over to him and wrap my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck. 

"Oh is that so Fisher?" I tilt my head and look right into his eyes. 

"Yes it is Conklin, i love you, you know," i lean in and our lips connect. pure euphoria. 

"I love you too Fisher," i hear whistles coming from inside, i turn to the windows and see Steven and Jere making fun of us. I stick my finger up and Conrad pushes it down as he laughs. 

"tThey're not funny," i hide my face in his shoulder. 

"Let them think they are, they might back off," he mumbles into my neck, sending goosebumps down my spine. I kiss him one more time.

"Up for a race?" his eyebrows raise, him intrigued. 

"Of course," i let go and swim to the other end of the pool. 

"Ok, 3, 2, bye," and i push off the wall and swim away. 

"Ell! you cheater," he's too fast for me and catches me with ease and wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me into him. 

"caught you love," blood rushes into my cheeks. 

"I guess you did."
