conrad had never run so fast as he did trying to catch poppy or get to noa before she could, he didn't want poppy telling her sister her version of the story, the version that made him look like the bad guy
it was just a misunderstanding after all
by the time conrad had made it upstairs in the house he couldn't see poppy, so he went to his and noa's bedroom preparing himself to have to plead his case to the girl he claimed to love.
unfortunately for the fisher boy, the bedroom was empty with most of noa's necessities missing as well.
"shit"
knowing noa wouldn't go far, because she wouldn't want to leave poppy behind, he headed to the guest room where he assumed poppy was sleeping, hopefully with noa as well
conrad lifted his fist to knock on the door, but before he could the door opened with the youngest james sister looking right back at him, her usual glare staring back at him
"is she in there?" conrad asked out of breath
"yeah but theres no way i'm letting you in there with her" poppy rolled her eyes at the boy
"please poppy i just want to talk to her" the fisher boy pleaded
"it's not gonna happen, i don't think she would want to see you anyway" the younger girl continued her glare
"what did you tell her?"
"nothing, she's asleep" poppy rolled her eyes once again
"what? you didn't tell her about what you just saw?" the boy was confused, he assumed poppy would tell noa about his moment with belly immediately
"no i was going to wake up, but i figured you should tell her" poppy said with a tight lipped smile, "and if you don't before i leave tomorrow, i will, and i'll make sure to cut your dick off after i do" the girl finished speaking before turning back into the guest room, slamming the door in conrad's face.

although she was still mad with the fisher boy, noa knew she couldn't attend mrs covington's dance lessons alone, she had to go with conrad, which meant she had to talk with conrad, much sooner than she anticipated.
"con, are you awake" the james girl spoke before knocking on the door, why was she knocking on her own door, the girl had no idea but she did it anyway, "conrad?" she asked again before entering the room.
instead of finding an awake and active conrad fisher ready to go to dance lessons, she found her boyfriend fast asleep in the bed clutching her usual pillow, the sight brought a small smile to her lips, before she shook it off and moved to wake up the boy.
"conrad wake up" she sat beside the boy, pushing the hair out of his eyes, "connie you have you get up we have dance lessons" she shook the boy
"huh?"a sleepy voice responded, "noa, is that you?"
"yes it's me let's go, get up" the girl stood up, moving to grab conrad's suit from the wardrobe
"noa"
"what?" the girl responded now looking for his shoes,
"can you look at me please?" he pleaded
the james turned around holding his shoes, meeting his eyes for the first time that morning,
"i'm sorry"
"you should be" she chuckled
"no seriously, i was a total dickhead to you yesterday, you had every right to tell me off, i shouldn't have said those things to you, and i most definitely shouldn't have yelled at you" he had a sorrowful look in his eyes as he reached to hold her hands
"you really were a dickhead weren't you?" she smiled
"yeah i was, but do you forgive me?" he asked
"of course, but do it again and i won't stop dean from beating your ass again" she laughed
"i promise i wont"
"but while, i'm confessing i need to talk to you about something that happened last night" his face went blank again
"what?" the girl began to grow concerned
"um last night i was out watching the fireworks, an uh belly came outside to the same spot, an uh," he scratched his head, "she uh tried to kiss me"
noa's face dropped
"oh"
"yeah, i'm so sorry noa, i promise nothing happ-
"why are you apologising?" her eyebrows furrowed, "she tried to kiss you, not the other way around. right?"
"yeah"
"and nothing actually happened? like no kiss ever happened"
"no kiss ever happened"
"then it's not your fault, it's bellys, thank you for telling me though" she smiled before turning to leave the room
"wait noa" conrad spoke up
"what?" she turned back around
"i love you"
"i love you too, now come on we're gonna be late" she chuckled holding her hand out to the boy who happily took it.

a few hours had passed, everyone had now returned home from the country club, and noa and jeremiah were bidding poppy goodbye whilst conrad was in the shower
"i'll miss having you here popdog" jeremiah smiled falling onto the bed
"sure you will bud" she laughed
"no i will, i was planning on us hooking up now that your brother poached my girl gigi" he leaned back into the pillows, noa rolling her eyes at the boys words
"sorry jere but this its happening again" poppy smiled, "you wrecked your chance for seconds when you fucked my twin brother"
"seriously, thats why? you're jealous?" he rolled his eyes
"its not jealous my friend" she shook her head, "its the fact i'd have to touch the same dick as my brother, which i'm not down for but he apparently was okay with"
"damn, you were definitely a better lay than clay was too" the boy pouted
"hey don't be mean to clay, but we both know that is definitely true" poppy chuckled
"okay you pair let's stop talking about your sex lives before i throw up" noa interrupted
"please like we don't hear you and conrad having sex all the time" jeremiah laughed, making noa flush red in embarrassment
"how are you and conrad?" poppy asked, mostly curious if conrad had told her about belly or not
"we're good he apologised for yesterday and i forgave him, but you know i never forget anything" she sighed
"did he tell you about the dock last night?" the younger sister asked
"yeah he did, i said it was fine" noa shrugged
"you did?" both jeremiah and poppy said at the same time
"yeah, it's all good things happen" the older james girl gave a tight lipped smile, "wait how do you guys know about the dock?"
"we were up on the patio, saw the whole thing" poppy shrugged
"yeah stopped it too" jeremiah smiled
"oh well thanks i guess" noa replied, she thought conrad had stopped it
"i didn't say anything because i told conrad he had to do it not me"poppy reassured her sister, "just in case you were wondering" her words making her sister smile at her
"i better get going my ride is here" poppy jumped up from her chair hugging her sister and jeremiah goodbye
"BYE!" the girl yelled as she ran down the stairs, out the door,
"she's terrible at goodbyes" jeremiah chuckled
"that she is"
