Chapter 1
Belly~
Its been two months since I last saw him at cousins. It was supposed to be my wedding day, but Jere knew he didn't have my whole heart. We tried going back to dating and waiting until we were done with school to get married but it was never the same since. We would never be those friends who didn't have any secrets. My biggest secret I had been keeping from Jere, and maybe a little to myself, was that I am in love with Conrad.
Conrad sent me a package with Junior Mint in it and it just made my heart flutter. Was he really thinking about me? I kept reading and rereading his letter over again until I'm pretty sure I knew it by heart. Anika thought I should just throw the letter away and not waste my time, but I couldn't do it.
A month had pasted and I got another package from him, but this time he sent me sour patch kids! How could he have known about that? But then I read his letter and find out my mother told him about me freaking out to her about it. He was so sweet, doing all this for me. I couldn't keep him out of my mind for less than ten seconds!
I kept getting letters from him once every month since that first time, but haven't answered back yet. It was almost Christmas and I got a letter. That was when I absolutely knew that I needed him. I loved him. I answered him back then, and I couldn't wait to get back home and see that smile I fell in love with when I was young.
Conrad~
After each letter I sent her, I knew she wasn't going to answer me. I have been getting her thanks and appreciations from her mother, but never first hand from Belly. Until it was around Christmas time and it was the last month of her staying in Spain. She answered me. It made me so happy that I kept this letter in my wallet forever.
It was about time to go pick Belly up from the airport and her mother, Steven, and Taylor all went inside to go meet her. Jere and I stayed behind, watching the car. Ten minutes passed by of us awkwardly standing there. I was about to say what was taking them so long, and looked at Jere, but he was looking over by the entrance. I turned to see what he was looking at, and saw a beautiful pair of eyes looking right into mine. I was speechless. She looked so beautiful, it was hard to hear Laur telling me to help with Belly's bags. I broke our connection and took the bags to the trunk. I heard Taylor ask Belly if there had been any guys in Spain. I looked up from what I was doing and stared at her for a moment. She didn't notice, or I don't think she did, and answered with a no.
