mismatched (Bridget x Hook)

VIII- confession

Hooks POV
After Hook had left Bridget, after she had said yes to going to castelcoming with him- well more like Ella said yes for her but still, he had made his way to Uliana in the courtyard to tell her his success.

"So she's going with you?" Uliana asked, looking up at him. "Yes. It's going to be hard to do anything for this plan though, Ella is watching me like a hawk. She's sceptical." Hook crossed his arms, sitting next to uliana.
"That's fine.. let me deal with her. Besides I... well the black lagoon spirits have thought of the perfect revenge." Uliana let out an evil laugh.

Hook gulped, he had been trying to prevent any evil plans against Bridget by saying as little info as possible because no matter how much he resisted the feeling, he was genuinely fond of Bridget. He didn't really want to hurt her. But he also didn't want to let his villainous bloodline down by showing signs of softness.
"And what's that..?" He responded nervously.

"I asked the spirits what I should do, which duh I can't believe I didn't think of that! They showed me this cooking book I didn't understand, but there is a recipe in this book that bakes a cupcake which has the ability to turn people into a monster!" Uliana laughed and clapped her hands at the genius idea.
"She trusts you, you give her this cupcake at castlecoming and she will turn into an ugly monster infront of everybody! It's too perfect." Uliana felt proud, she was going to ruin Bridget.

Hook frowned, which Uliana noticed, "do you have a problem with that?" Her smile dropped staring at him menacingly. Hook just shook his head, "No problem.." he did have a problem he just didn't want to seem like his villain is fading. "Good, you have the easy part anyway. It's me who has to go get the sorcerers cookbook from Merlin's office." Hook stopped uliana from doing that, "you can't do that."

"AND why not?" Uliana snapped, an aggressive tone in her voice. "Because Merlin enchants forbidden books." Hook stood up. "Who said I'm going to be the one to open it? I'll just get somebody else to do that dirty work. Don't you worry hook." Uliana laughed as she walked away.

Hook sat back down and put his head in his hands, maybe he could stop it. But he shouldn't, if he did he'd be embarrassing his ancestors. He comes from a line of evil and powerful sea captains. He can't change who he is. Suddenly, he felt as though he was being watched.

"Are you okay?" He heard a soft voice say, he looked up and saw Bridget looking at him with a genuine look of concern. "Yeah, I'm okay. Thanks for asking." He tried to reassure her. "You don't look okay." She responded, sitting next to him. She offered a box to him, "what's this?" He asked. "Cookies!" She smiled, "I just had my baking club." She opened the box revealing a bunch of nicely decorated cookies. "Would you like one?" She was trying to cheer him up because she knew he was lying.

He smiled, "thanks" he grabbed one and took a bite, he would never deny treats from Bridget honestly, they were always amazing. That's another reason ulianas plan disgusted him, she was planning to use what Bridget loved most against her? It seems cruel.

"So what's wrong?" Bridget asked, closing the box of cookies. She didn't want anybody else to see them because she wanted to use them as a treat to help Hook. "It's just.." he knew he couldn't tell Bridget what was actually upsetting him, Uliana would kill him. "It's just..  do you ever get tired of being so nice all the time?" He asked. She let out a sweet short laugh.

"Well. It can be frustrating putting everything into positive emotions just for the outcome I want to never come.. but not really. Being positive and happy keeps a good mindset, how come you ask?" She smiled looking at him, "I'm just tired of always having to follow ulianas evil footsteps and having to live to my father's expectations." He sighed slouching over.

Her smile dropped slowly, she shuffled a bit closer towards him, "You're your own person Hook. You can do whatever you want to do. If you want to be nicer you can be nicer! I know you can because I've seen that side of you. You don't have to live your life off of what uliana says." She put her hand on top of his. Hook looked at Bridget, he didn't understand how she did it. How she doesn't get annoyed at people. How she stays so happy.

"I don't really know who I am." Hook said, just looking straight at Bridget. "Well I don't know.. I can't really help you with you are. It's just a feeling in you. What you like and are interested in." Bridget was trying to be as helpful as she could, but they were entering boundaries she didn't know how to help with. "I know I like to spend time with you." Hook responded sitting up so he was a bit closer to her.

Bridget felt her face feel flushed, she let out a nervous chuckle thinking he was joking which Hook caught onto quickly. "I'm being serious." Hook laughed too. "I know we've only been hanging out recently but I wish I knew you way before I did. I really enjoy spending time with you, and I want to spend more time with you and I'm really happy I get to accompany you to castlecoming." He smiled at her, Bridget didn't really know how to respond. Nobody had ever shown an interest in her before.

She looked down trying to hide the emotions she was being overloaded with, she realised she was still holding his hand. "Oh sorry!" She took her hand away quickly placing both in her lap, "why?" He asked lifting her head with his hook. She had never felt so nervous. "Thank you for helping me find myself." Hook smiled at her, his hook still placed on her chin. Bridget had no words, "hah.. did I do that?" She was obviously freaking out Hook could tell.

"Wanna hang out tomorrow?" He asked finally taking his Hook away from her chin. "I- uh- Yes! Yes I would like to." She nodded. "Have you got an outfit for castlecoming?" She tried to change topic to help herself calm down.
"No.. I mean it won't take that long, it's just like what? A suit." He shrugged, "I bet you will look beautiful in whatever you decide to wear." He stood up, "I can't wait to see it princess." He started to walk away waving, "looking forward to tomorrow princess, I'll pick you up from your dorm room." Bridget didn't answer she just nodded waving back mindlessly. What came over her then? Why couldn't she control her emotions, she hadn't seen that side of Hook before.
