Chapter 13

NEWTS POV:

Earlier when I had spoken to minho, I told him "but you can't tell jess about any of this"
That shuck face better not or there will be trouble.

----------

I walked into the medjacks room carrying a delicious smelling meal. It consisted of a fancy pasta bake that frypan had made especially for Jess's waking up arrival and a glass of water with two cubes of ice in the other hand.

Jess was lying down on her bed and straight away sat up as she saw me.

Her eyes widened at the sight of the plate I was holding.

"Wow" she said amazed. "I guess that's one of frypans best dishes, but please tell me there's no ehh in it?"

"No egg, guess you'd had enough of that story to hu?" I said as a little smile appeared on my face.

Jess looked at the plate that I had placed in front of her. It was a good sized portion but I had not doubt it would be gone shortly.

I gently put the very full glass of water next to jess, on the table.

As soon as the plate was empty jess reached out for a swing of water.

I took the glass and took a sip of it before putting it down beside her.

It was now or never, I had to do it.

"I need to ask you something Jess"

"yes newt. I will" she said.

I was gob smacked. Did she already know what I was going to ask her.

"I will be your girlfriend and go on a date with you."

I gave her the most humongous smile that was humanly possible.

"But how did you know what I was going to say?"

She looked down at her empty plate. "Just...just" she stopped.

Minho, I thought.

Boy I loved the guy but really, I should probably be hating him for saying what he said he wouldn't tell jess, but who can blame him.

She's all mine

------------

JESS POV:

I knew what he was going to ask and I responded before he spoke.

He was mine and I was his.

---

Newt began to openly speak. "I love you, I always have and the Minuit you came out of that box I fell in love with you. And now I finally have you."

He leaned over almost into a kiss but went for my forehead instead.

Newt must have know I needed a shower, or wash at least.

"Hey, I need a shower, you mind showing me where the showers are?"

He agreed and we walked off together, hand in hand.

I was carrying my package under the other arm ready for a proper fresh up.

-------------

After a good 20 Minuit scrub with my new fruity washes, I was smelling "fresh as a daisy" newt had put it as.

"Jess, you need to start thinking about what you want to do, job wise."

" I still haven't had my day with winston yet but I'm already pretty sure slicing isn't what I want to be doing for the rest of my life."

"Well there are other jobs" newt said as he stroked my hair with his gentle hands.

I looked down at my bare feet.

I should have probably put shoes on but I only had the ones I had come up in the box with, which were, who knows where?
And then my new trainer shoes.

"Runner" the words just came out of my mouth. completely unplanned.

"Are you crazy jess? No one wants to be a runner!" Newt said, he was protective.
I knew what the maze was like but maybe the shoes were a sign.it was my destiny-ha I'm so cheesy.

-----------

Newt and I were now lying down after having eaten dinner and we were now looking up at the stars.

"They are beautiful and you see that one" newt pointed to two close stars. You're the brighter one and I'm the bigger one, always there protecting you."

We had been talking for hours, really about nothing. Clint and Jeff had told me that I should still be on bed rest in the medjacks room but they won't miss me for one night.

We both walked over to the homestead and changed into a differnt one of newts shirts and he took his off and we both clamberd into his hammock for a good nights sleep.

Before I had compleatky drifted of i felt newts lips press onto mine and he Smirked under as I kissed him back.
I was wrapped up in his arms with my back against his chest.

I fell asleep to the beating of his heart and the tingling of his breath against my ear.

Sorry for the cheesy ending xox
