Daylight

10.- got lovestruck went to my head.

Matilda woke up, in Conrad's arms.
she shifted slightly, and looked up, he looked peaceful.

Matilda wanted to forget everything that happened yesterday. Conrad was drunk, and she was overwhelmed.

Conrad sensed her shifting, and he gently woke up, his eyes fluttered open. He rubbed his eyes, lifting one hand from Matilda's waist. Once his eyes had adjusted, he looked down at Matilda, who was smiling gently up at him. He smiled, tiredly, which Matilda adored,
" morning, Tills ." he greeted her groggily.

"Morning Con." she chuckled gently, pushing his hair out of his face, and running her fingers through it.
Conrad sighed happily, as the two stayed like this for a few minutes.

"We better get up, hm? It's Belly's birthday." Matilda hummed,

Conrad's arms wrapped tighter around her. he honestly wasn't in the mood to even go downstairs for Belly right now, especially as to Conrad, she has been a big part of causing tension between him and Matilda.

" I guess " he sighed,
Matilda chuckled, sitting up. Conrad followed, also sitting up.
The two gently pecked eachother on the lips, before getting up to get ready.

Belly looked at a dress in the mirror, smiling to herself , she couldn't help but think back to a certain memory.

——
Bellys Pov:

" hey, what are you drawing on your pancakes? " I asked, grinning over at Conrad.

Conrad looked over at me, and moved slightly closer to show me what he had drew. My stomach felt fuzzy.

"An infinity." he explained,

"What's that?" I asked, curiously.

"You see those tracks?" He asked me, and I nodded.

" you can travel endlessly round those curves, forever, they're infinite." Conrad explained, sending me a small smile, that made my heart flutter.

I giggled, looking at the shape.

In that moment, all I could think was that, Conrad Fisher and I were meant to be infinite.

Conrad's POV

I loved summers at the beach house, always. I couldn't help but think how much better it'd be if Matilda was here, I missed her more than anything.
I drew an infinity with the syrup on my pancakes for Bellys birthday breakfast.

I smiled at the shape, I remember one time I explained to her what infinity meant. we both promised eachother at that moment, us two would always be infinite.

Suddenly, Belly spoke to me, " hey, what are you drawing on your pancakes? " she grinned .

"An infinity. " I explained, slightly awkwardly.

"What's that?" She asked me curiously.

I shuffled slightly over to her, showing her, " you see those tracks? "

She nodded.

" you can travel endlessly around those curves, forever, they're infinite." I explained, I flashed her a polite smile. It was obvious Belly had a slight crush on me, but Belly was like my younger sister. I didn't want her to get the wrong idea, so I didn't want to go to into explaining the shape. I know it sounds silly, gatekeeping a literal shape, but it felt like mine and Matildas little secret.
