We returned home. As soon as we entered Murphy's apartment - because that's where the rest of us were waiting for us - everyone gathered around us and was glad Blake was okay.

We held hands all this time, which of course didn't escape Octavia's attention. Girl immediately guessed what was the matter.

A few months later.

It's finally time for our longed-for vacation. Bellamy and I were officially a couple, which enjoyed our friends a lot, but not necessarily other girls from school. Bellamy, however, made it clear that he was no longer single.

The police were still looking for Gale. The bastard hid well or maybe even left the country. We were also not sure if the man knew that his son had survived. However, as I thought about it, I had great hope that his father wouldn't find out that boy had survived, because then he might want to finish what he started. And none of us would want that.

Recently, Blake stayed with me for the night, and right now we were preparing breakfast together. My mom went to take a quick shower while we were left alone in the kitchen. Well, maybe not entirely alone, because we were accompanied by Filutek, who was watching us closely and waiting for us to give him some delicacy.

"Here, little one. " I gave kitty his delicacy, stroked it and went back to preparing breakfast.

Today's meal was supposed to consist of just a few sandwiches, and we had orange juice to drink. When most of the things were already on the table, we started preparing the dessert in the form of strawberries with cream. So we started washing the fruit.

"Don't eat it now. " I threatened Blake when I noticed him eating one of the washed strawberries.

"I can't resist. " Boy smiled.

"But for now you'll have to. " I replied and went back to washing the fruit.

But Blake didn't give up so easily. He came up behind me and put his arm around my waist so I looked at him.

"I still can't resist. " He smiled again and kissed me on the lips.

Later, he took advantage of my moment of inattention and stole another strawberry from me, which he ate a second later.

"Blake! " I scolded him and threw a cloth at him, not hiding a smile.

Man just spread his hands as if nothing had happened.

A few minutes later Abby came and we sat down to eat together. In the meantime, we talked about everything and nothing at the same time. There was a very nice atmosphere.

My mom was very happy that I got involved with Bellamy. Woman liked him very much. Sometimes she even told us about our future about marriage, children and living together.

It didn't bother me, I was hoping to be with this crazy brunet till the end. And it seems that he shared my opinion, because he sometimes joined Abby talking to her about her vision of our future. But not only because I felt that he shared my opinion. I knew perfectly well that I could rely on him and that boy would do anything for me. I knew he loved me. I trusted him completely.

When we finished our meal, we cleaned everything up and washed the dishes. Mom disappeared into her room to get ready for work.

"What are your plans for today, princess? " Brunet asked sitting down on the couch.

"So far I don't have any, so I'm open to suggestions. " I smiled at him, and when I was walking behind his back, he suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me to him, as a result of which I flew over the back of the couch and landed on brunet.

"That's good. " He bared his teeth.

"You'll never change, huh? " I smiled charmingly and rested my hands on his shoulders.

"Never. " He smiled back, then placed a gentle kiss on my lips which I returned.

"So what are your plans? " I asked. "Do you want to take me somewhere? "

"Actually, I don't have any plans. " He said what was surprised. "I was hoping you'd come up with something. "

I slapped him with the pillow and he laughed. Man got me again.

"What did he do this time? " Abby laughed seeing us together.

"I'm wondering about that too. " Blake shrugged his shoulders at which he again received a pillow from me.

After a while we heard the doorbell, which my mother opened right after.

"Alya? " We heard our mother's surprised voice so we both jumped to our feet to check who came. Mom called and hugged the guest with a smile.

"This is, your baby girl? " Curious woman asked. "Clarke, honey, you have grown up! " Woman hugged me, and I didn't know who it was or what it was about.

"Clarke, this is aunt Alya. " Mom interjected, and it took me a moment to associate the facts.

Alya is my mother's friend, but she left when I was little so that's why I didn't recognize her.

"Oh, I'm sorry..." I smiled uncertainly. "I didn't recognize you... " I wondered if I should call her "aunt" as I used to, or maybe "miss".

"I hope we stay with "aunt" and not "miss", huh? " Woman gave me a sincere smile, which I returned and after a while I hugged her again.

"All right, auntie. It's wonderful to see you again. " I said.

"You too, darling. "

When we pulled away from each other, the woman looked at Bellamy with interest.

"Bellamy? " She asked at which he nodded his head. "You're so much like your mom. " Said touching his cheek. "I'm very sorry for your lost, unfortunately I didn't manage to come to the funeral. "

"It's okay, it's good that you're here now. " Man replied, who apparently recognize woman right away, and I didn't know where he knew her from.

"Your mom, Bellamy's mom, and I were very close friends. " Alya explained seeing my surprised face. "Unfortunately, our paths parted a bit later... But now I came back and I want to stay in my homeland forever. "

"You're finally understand. " Mom laughed, and we with her. "Come on in, I still have some time before work so we can talk. "

***

We all sat down in the living room and started chatting. Alya was a really great person. It seems that only now I realized how much I missed her.

The woman glanced at me, then at Blake.

"I have a question..." She said and looked at us with great interest. "You two..." She pointed at us. "Something's in the air? " She wiggled her eyebrows playfully.

"Yes, love, you're right. " Abby put in a smile.

Auntie clapped with excitement.

"You are together?! A couple?! " She exclaimed.

In response, Blake took my hand and kissed it.

"Yes. " Brunet replied with a smile.

"Oh, how wonderful! You're a perfect couple. " Said gladly.

She was very fascinated by this story we told her, and the smile didn't leave her face, but only for a time.

"All right..." My aunt sighed. "Now I'll change the subject a little more seriously..." Said and looked at Bellamy. "It's for you. "She handed him an envelope.

"What is this? " Man asked surprised and accepted the gift.

"Read and you'll understand. " Woman answered him.

Brunet and I exchanged glances, and then boy unpacked the envelope and took out the letter in it.

"It's..." He looked at the letter. "It's my mom's handwriting... "
