Chapter 25
I froze. She just asked me if I was avoiding her. I was! But I didn't want to tell her that.
"No of course not" I lie. I hated lying but what was I supposed to say 'yes Belly I have because you kissed Jeremiah and I'm like totally madly in love with him' ya no I couldn't say that.
"It's just we have not been talking or hanging out much resonantly" Belly said.
She was right. We used to be unsepertable and now you barely saw us together.
I sighed I didn't know what to say to that. "I've missed you" Belly adds on. "I've missed you too" I said.
It was true I did miss her. I missed my twin sister. I just didn't know how to act around her anymore.
"Do you want to go for a night swim just the two of us?" She asked me. I smiled at her. "Ya sure!" I said. It did sound nice. We could go back to being sisters. I couldn't let my crush on Jeremiah ruin my bound with Belly.
We finished making the bed then we went to our rooms to get dressed. I changed into my swimsuit then we met by the pool.
Swimming with Belly felt like we where 8 again like there where no boy problems we where just two sisters enjoying each other's company. I had missed this missed spending time with her.
But then he came outside.
When Jeremiah stepped outside I knew the moment of feeling like we where young again and there where no problems in the world was over. The problem was standing right in front of us.
He put his feet in the water and looked at Belly. I don't think he looked at me if he did I didn't see it because I was looking everywhere but at him.
"Well I'm getting tired I better head to bed" I say. I ran straight to my mom office where Ben was staying.
"So how was night swimming with belly button?" Ben asked. "It was good until Jeremiah came outside" I tell him. "Wow he couldn't give you guys one night" Ben said in disbelieve.
I went and got changed out of my swim suit and went back to Ben's room. We played a dumb card game and laughed our asses off.
Around 3 am I decided I needed to go to bed. I left his room quietly mindful that everyone else must be asleep.
As I was creeping out of his room I see Jeremiah. I knew he thought something happened in there I could tell by the look on his face. He didn't say anything so neither did I. I wanted to tell him nothing happened we just played card games but I couldn't as much as I wanted to make him stop looking at me like that I liked him thinking that I wasn't hung up on our kiss. He clearly wasn't. I went to my room not saying a word to Jeremiah. He didn't deserve a explanation.
I surprisingly fell asleep really fast.
The next morning it was crunch time. I needed to teach Ben all the dances and get him prepared for the ball.
"Wakey Wakey sleeping beauty!" I say cheerfully before smacking Ben in the face with a pillow.
"Ugh! Emma wtf!" Ben yells. I hit him with the pillow again. "Get up we have work to do!" I say going to hit him again but he stops me by grabbing the pillow.
He ripped it out of my hands and starts to hit me with it. I grabbed the other pillow and we start to have a full on pillow fight.
We are interrupted by Steven. "Ugh ummm sorry to interrupt you two trying to kill each other with pillows but breakfast is ready" Steven says with a huge smile on his face.
I could tell he thought it was funny we where having a pillow fight like we where 7.
"Ooo yay I'm starving!" I cheer and throw my pillow into Ben's face and run downstairs.
I hear both Ben and Steven laughing while they followed me downstairs.
"Good morning!" Susannah smiled at me while flipping a pancake. I loved Susannah's pancakes they where delicious. They where so soft and they tasted like heaven.
"Morning boys" Susannah said to the two boys following me.
"How did you sleep?" My mother asked Ben. "I slept great thank you Laurel the bed was very comfy" Ben smiled.
I almost started laughing because of how he was talking to my mother like she was a scary business man.
"Do have anything you do before bed that helps you sleep?" Jeremiah asks his eyes narrow at Ben. "Ugh I read sometimes" Ben shrugged.
I knew what this was about. Jeremiah saw me walk out of Ben's room and now was acting like he was trying to expose us. Grow up Jeremiah we played cards.
"Do you do any physical activity's?" Jeremiah asks. "Ugh no" Ben said.
I glared at Jeremiah. In that moment I wished looks could kill. Jeremiah would have dropped dead.
