Conrad woke up, he looked to the digital clock on his bedside table, next to a a picture of him and Matilda.
6:00 am. the clock read.
Sunlight blazed through the curtains.
Conrad looked down, and saw Matilda comfortably shift in his arms, turning over. He smiled at the simple peace of the moment.
As much as he wanted to close his eyes again, holding Matilda, and sleep, he knew he couldn't not go and make memories with her immediately.
Conrad placed a kiss on Matilda's head, trying to wake her up. "Tills?" he whispered, smiling.
"Hmm?" she hummed tiredly,
"Let's go to the beach." Conrad grinned, as Matilda sat up, rubbing her eyes. once her eyes adjusted, she saw the sunlight.
"Okay, Con." she agreed, yawning. she smiled tiredly, as Conrad sat up. Matilda noticed him cringe in pain.
"Hangover?" Matilda questioned expectantly.
"I'll be fine." Conrad shrugged her off.
"Sure?" Matilda asked, pushing back his hair.
"Yeah, c'mon, I cant wait to get down to the beach!" he laughed.
"Okay, okay!" Matilda smiled, getting up,
"Don't worry about getting dressed first, it's early, we will come back." Conrad shrugged, throwing her one of his jumpers, which she slid on over her arms.
"Okay c'mon, let's go!" Matilda giggled excitedly, now feeling more energised.
Matilda held onto Conrad's arm, as the two tried to get down the stairs quietly, without making them creak. The two were quietly laughing and giggling as they did so.

Conrad and Matilda finally arrived at the beach, and Matilda stopped in her tracks.
"You were so right, it is much more gorgeous in person." she breathed out in awe, taking in the salt air, and the gentle sounds of the waves crashing.
Conrad gently smiled at her, letting her take in the moment.
"Honestly, I so get why you said you found this place so magical." Matilda admitted, as they walked across the sand again, to find a place to sit.
"Well, it's much more magical with you here." Conrad commented, a mischievous smile dancing on his lips as they sat down on the sand.
Matilda looked over at him, going red as she let out a laugh, "smooth, Fisher." she remarked, gently shoving his chest.
Conrad laughed, keeping himself steady. he then looked properly at his girl friend. "I wasn't joking, Tills, I mean it." he told her.
Matilda smiled widely, looking out to the sea, as she slightly leant her weight onto Conrad.
"We should totally go surfing this summer." Conrad thought aloud,
Matilda's eyes widened, "Con, I have no coordination, I'd drown!" she chuckled, looking petrified. "I'd be like, I dunno- a hamster on sea as they say!"
Conrad snickered. " Firstly, you definitely made that saying up just now, secondly, do you think I would let you drown?"
Matilda's lips curved into a grin, "Maybe I did, but I'm just too wise! and no, but I swear, you better let me hold onto you the whole time promise?"
Conrad chuckled, shaking his head. "I don't think you holding onto me is an issue at all Tills, don't you worry." he lightly smirked.
Matilda gently elbowed him, shaking her head, "Sassy Conrad is certainly something."
Conrad shrugged, still smirking, "Oh please, don't pretend you don't love it."
The two laughed, and continued to talk for a while longer.
Suddenly, Matilda felt a new presence, she turned round and saw Belly stood there, quite far away, but she looked out of breathe. Matilda quickly looked back to the sea.
"So yeah-" Conrad finished, "Tillss?" he asked,
"Con, look behind us." she replied
Conrad slowly looked behind him, with a confused expression, until he saw Belly.
Belly sighed, and walked off. She saw Conrad leaving the house this morning, obviously she didn't look long enough because she turned back round before she saw Matilda step out after him. She was hoping to catch him before she went to see Cam. she looked at her phone, and saw the time, and darted away.
"She's gone." Conrad announced, sighing.
Matilda wrapped Conrad's jumper closer around her, "Conrad, I think, she must hate me because she likes you."
Conrad let out a heavy sigh, "when we were kids, she liked me, but I really thought she would get over it, I'm sorry Tills."
Matilda turned her head to look at Conrad, who was already looking at her, "it's not your fault Con, I mean, I can't blame her, I had a crush on you too - obviously." she chuckled.
"Aw, you had a crush on me." Conrad grinned in a sing song voice. Matilda laughed, burying her head in her hands. "Shut up!"
Conrad continued to tease her, "that's so cute!"
Matilda looked up, her face pink as she whacked his shoulder.
"Ouch!" he laughed, "Calm down Lockwood!"
"Oh, so we are on last name basis now Fisher?" Matilda questioned him, raising an eyebrow.
"Seems we are, Fisher." Conrad replied.
Matilda opened her mouth to say something, then immediately shut it again. Conrad smirked, proudly.
"I'm not- huh- you're just teasing me." Matilda stammered, a small laugh escaping her lips.
"I may be teasing you, but Matilda Fisher doesn't sound so bad." Conrad thought aloud.
Matilda smiled widely, "Do you actually mean that?" she laughed.
Conrad's teasing smirk, turned into a soft smile,"Yeah, yeah I do."
"You know what Conrad Fisher, that's so cute!" Matilda responded. Conrad gasped in fake offence. "Using my own words against me?"
Matilda couldn't help a small giggle escape her lips. Conrad shook his head, and leant in and kissed her. Matilda kissed him back, happily. The two pulled apart, smiling, "Just so you know, I had a crush on you too, Fisher." Conrad murmured.
