Chapter 27

I walked inside and Conrad and Steven run towards me.

"What do you two want?" I ask. "We have taught Ben the ways of the waltz" Steven said in his most manly gentlemanly voice.

"Oh let's see then boys!" I say.

Ben puts his hand out for me to take. Conrad plays the music. To my surprise Ben knows every step. I was very impressed.

I expected that I would have to put the hammer down and teach him quickly. But I was surprised and thankful that the boys taught him.

Jeremiah must have left cuz he was not with the rest of the boys. I didn't ask. I assumed if something happened Ben would tell me about it later.

After we finished the waltz I went upstairs to change out of my dress. It was miserable wearing my big dress in the heat.

I put on a comfy outfit. I was going to be lounging around the house anyways. I put my curled hair into a high ponytail. I took off my makeup since the sun has made it feel gross.

Then I went back downstairs where Conrad and Steven where giving Ben pointers on how to be a debutant escort.

"Oh Steven you have to teach him the escort dance" I say grabbing a water from the fridge. "Oh ya! I almost forgot about that" Steven said. He then explained what the escort dance was.

Conrad and I sat on the couch and watched Steven teach Ben the escort dance. I don't know why but Steven teaching anyone to dance is just funny.

About an hour has passed and Ben basically had the dance down. I was not lying when I said Ben was a great dancer.

As Steven and Ben perform there dance for Conrad and I Jeremiah and Belly walk in with a beach bag full of shells. Hmm that's where he ran off to I thought to myself.

The boys and belly continue to watch them rehearse the dance. I decided I wanted to go out and get some sun. So I went outside and tanned by the pool. I read a book while I did that.

While I'm sitting in the sun nose in my book Jeremiah sits next to me. "Hey" he said quietly.

I looked up from my book. "Hi" I said back. Neither of us said anything else to each other we just sat there.

It wasn't weird. It was comfortable. I read my book and Jeremiah did whatever he was doing next to me.

Dinner was scallop potato's. Susannah made them and they where delicious. Most things Susannah made where delicious tho.

Ben seamed to be getting along with Conrad and Steven great. The three of them where like best friends. I loved seeing them get along.

Jeremiah on the other hand couldn't be in the same room as Ben for long. He was always running off when Ben was around.

I sat next to Ben at the table while he joked and laughed with Steven. Conrad would every once in awhile chime in.

Jeremiah sat across from me next to Belly. He wasn't looking at Belly he was looking at me. Looking at me like he wanted to say something to me but couldn't. I tried not to look at him.

After dinner I went to my room to hide out. I couldn't handle Jeremiah's gaze any longer. I turned on my music and layed in bed.

There was a knock on the door. "Em it's me!" I hear Ben call. "Come in" I say and he dose.

"You alright?" Ben asked. "Ya Jeremiah was just staring at me and I don't know why and it's just confusing!" I rambled.

"I think I know why" Ben smirked. "Why?" I ask. "Cuz he thinks you and I got something going on" Ben stated

I rolled my eyes at him. "He's jealous girl" Ben said. "Oh as if he has belly" I say.

"You always want what you can't have why do you think I always am falling for straight guys" Ben points out. I just roll my eyes at him.

At 3am I wake up and am really thirsty so I go to get a glass of water. I walk downstairs quietly not to wake up anyone.

When I get to the kitchen and turn on the light Jeremiah is already sitting on the counter in the dark.

He was staring off into space. "Jeremiah?" I break him out of his trance. He looks at me almost pleadingly.

"What are you doing up?" I asked. He stared at me for a second. "I-I couldn't sleep" he finally said.

"Why are you up?" He asked me. "Needed something to drink" I simply say going to get a cup.

"Emma I've been trying to talk to you I can't get you out of my head" Jeremiah blurts out.

I almost drop the glass I had in my hand. "What?!" I ask.
