bonrad (season 3)

chapter twenty four- study mode

belly's pov:
after thanksgiving break is over, we head on the plane straight back to cali. now don't get me wrong, i did miss cousins immensely, but it's SO COLD.

i missed the heat of the warm bright california sun. and as im enjoying said sun with anika by tanning on the beach, i get a call.

"belly where are you" conrad asks frantically. i sit up. "what do you mean? i told you before i left i was going to the beach with anika." i ask, confused, and he sighs of relief.

"ok thank god i was worried. i have a chem test tomorrow and then after tomorrow its finals and after finals its MCATS, so... im a little distracted right now. BUTTTT never too distracted to not be worrying about you. so when i went to take a break and you were not on my bed like you were before i locked into studying, i panicked a little. but now that you mention it i totally do remember you telling me that on your way out now. ok anyway glad that's settled, i love you, im gonna go study more, have fun, tell anika i say hi" he says.

"ok but con don't study too too hard. don't make yourself have a panic attack. i'll be home in a few hours. i love you bye bye" "ok bye" and we hang up, and i go back to tanning.

but when i get back to his dorm, i find him in the exact state i knew he'd be in and told him not to be.

he's dosent even notice i open the door because of how focused he is. i find him
hunched over, and smacking his fist on the table when he messes up a formula for a question. this happens all in less then 30 seconds. i frown. only KNOW i can fix this.

"hey" i say and he jumps, a bit startled, but relaxes a bit when he sees its only me. he takes off his headphones and pauses his music.

"hey how was the beach?" he asks, pretending to be calm and happy for me. "it was fun! i had so much sand all over me so my first stop was the shower, i hope you don't mind, my hairs dripping on your carpet." i say. he tells me he could care less about the floor, he's just glad im back.

time for my master plan. i grab my comfy (if you don't know, it's like a blanket hoodie thing.) and i put in on.
then i go lay in his bed and pretend to giggle at someone funny on my phone.

just like clockwork, he's distracted. he spins around in his office chair to look me up and down. "dammit you look so cute right now" he says. "why would that be so bad?" i ask. "because i can't come over there right now, i just can't..." he says.

"please connie? you've been studying for HOURS. finals and mcats i get, but this is for one unrelated test. come cuddle pleaseeee" i pout, giving him the puppy dog eyes.

he thinks about it for a sec, before saying "fuck, fine." and he crawls into bed and pulls me into his arms. "you know my little teddy bear, you are quite irresistible pretty much most, no, ALL of the time. "whattt noooo" i tease.

he attacks my face and neck with gentle kisses, and i let him, knowing he needed his comfort (me) and a good brain break.

conrad is really stressed with finals, especially because he is a senior, and he has to start studying for the MCATS, which determines his entire future.

knowing here worked his ass off and studied himself into panic for the past week straight when he has SO much more time to study, i convince him to let loose a little and to go to a party, at least for a little.

conrad's pov:
belly suggested that with all my pent up stress we should go to that party at tom's dorm tonight. i don't know who the fuck tom is and either does she, but i guess that's just college. we go anyway even though no one we know is going.
