Haha look at the meme lol. I love his british accent. his face in this picture and then Thomas in the back ground Haha!!!

Okay so it's a bit of a shorter chapter, I'm sorry. But it's an exciting chapter.I was hoping to get this posted yesterday because you know Chapter 21 on day 21 but it's fine. 

I wrote a bunch of this chapter on paper before I went to sleep and I wrote a WHOLE bunch. It'ds great that I got so much but the only problem is that I have to copy it all down onto docs and that is sooooo annoying. 

Anyway!! ENJOYY and your welcome😊😊😊😊

Annie's POV

I woke up to find a pair of strong arms wrapped around me. They kept me very warm. It was nice to have him so close to me and that he cared for me so much. I had a brief memory of asking him to stay with me last night and I was glad I did. I slept better than I could ever imagine and for once since I got here I didn't dream. No nightmares, no dreams, just peaceful sleep with Newt's arms wrapped around my body keeping me warm.

I nuzzled my face against his chest and his strong arms re-adjusted around my body pulling me closer to him.

"G' morning," Newt's British accent said with the morning rasp in his voice.

"Morning," I stirred against him rolling over to be laying with my back against the cot and looking at the ceiling.

"How did you sleep?" he asked me while watching me.

I turned my head to meet his eyes, "Really good," I said.

"I'm glad."

"Like that might have been the best sleep of my life." I said, truthfully.

"I'm glad," He brought his hand up from under his body and pushed some hair out of my face. He let it linger there for a moment, "I'm glad I helped."

I felt my cheeks heating up and I smiled widely, "I'm glad you stayed with me."

"Me too,"

We sat for a moment just staring into each other's eyes. "So-"

"I need to say something," he said sternly.

I swallowed, "Okay." I said, slowly.

"I like you, a lot. And I know that you like me too, right?" I slightly nodded to his words, He let out a deep sigh, "I want to be with you and I don't see what's stopping us. We have been trapped here for 2 and a half years. Why won't you see that we aren't going anywhere so why can't we start this? Why won't you be with me but continuously tease me so close and then push me so far away."

My heart fluttered at his words and I just wanted to kiss him right then and there so badly but I couldn't do it. I couldn't give into the temptation.

"As much as I want that," His hand drops to the pillow beside my head. "We can't do that."

"Why? You keep saying that but why? Give me a good reason and I'll stop trying to kiss you." Wow, I wasn't expecting that.

"I- look I- I can't explain, I can't tell you why." he looks at me then around the room kind of rolling his eyes before taking a deep breath and making eye contact with me. I continue stuttering off without saying anything clear or making any sense.

It was clear he wasn't listening because the next thing I knew he had shut me up by pressing his lips against mine.

My eyes widened and my stomach lurched. It was a little bit aggressive but I had to remind myself that he had never done such a thing before. I quickly pulled back and looked at Newt, my hand resting on his chest.

I gulped.

He stared back at me with a confused /sad expression on his face. The expression looked like he was worried I was going to reject him

I couldn't reject him.

I just couldn't.

I wanted this too badly.

I grabbed his face in my hands and smashed my lips against his again. I sat up more and I felt his body shift under mind. I used my hands to hold myself up whilst Newt's hands were groping my waist lifting me over him. One of his hands came up and brushed hair out of my face so he wouldn't get hair in his mouth.

"Ew, you two get a room." A familiar voice said from the doorway.

Why do we always have to get interrupted at the worst possible moment! UGHH It really was what was going through my head at the moment.

I rolled off of Newt and planted my feet on the floor sitting on the edge of the cot.

"Well we did before you came in!" I said roughly. I saw out of the corner of my eye Newt smash his face into my pillow out of embarrassment. I didn't blame him, I personally wanted to throw the thing closest to me and throw it at her.

So I did.

My sneakers were on the floor next to my cot. I leaned down and picked one up and threw it at her, hitting her chest.

"Hey!" She cried, taking a step back. "What was that for!"

"Get out!" I said smiling.

"I was just trying to tell you that breakfast is ready,"

"And I'm just trying to tell you that we'll be a little late," I went down to grab the other shoe, "Now get out!" I threw it at her and it missed, her scurrying out of the room.
