Bridget's words were still replaying in James's mind even if they were face to face and looking deeply at each other's eyes. His heart desired more than to be her friend, to be in her friend zone - he desired to be her lover, to touch her and feel her soft lips.
But they had to start to somewhere, they didn't have to rush the things besides James was still not fond of his new emotions towards the target of Uliana's cruel revenge - his own sanity didn't sit right with him to do so much cruelty to such an innocent soul like her. It was a dumb cupcakes nothing else, Uliana should get over it.
The comfort silence was present between the pirate and the princess of Wonderland, the world had stopped spinning, the background noises of the academy had faded like a quiet wind and it was just them and their eyes who spoke a lot.
"Bridget,I..." James start to talk, breaking the silence between them which lead to Bridget's hopeful gaze and to ask very softly which made him weak in the knees when he heard her "Yes?"
Before he could even finish that sentence the disturbance of Ella got noticed when she called for Bridget who quickly pulled her hand away so Ella doesn't catch them holding hands which was too late since her best friend's expression wasn't pleasing - it was annoyed, shocked and disappointed.
"So you're skipping lunch break to meet with him?! Is that what you were doing earlier?!"
Ella's voice filled the courtyard while scolding Bridget who didn't find the right answer to her friend's scolding. As for James he couldn't hold himself from rolling his eyes even couldn't stand to listen Ella's angered voice towards Bridget only because she had met with him.
It's not like he had hurt her or lure her in something against her own will, her friend really love to exploit the situation between him and Bridget. When Ella started with the whole lecture and jabbing her finger at Bridget, the protective instinct of James kicked in and got between the two girls during their small argument.
"She's not a baby who you can babysit or tell her what to do. She decided to meet with me today because I asked her to and I didn't even know she was here besides we had a simple talk, I haven't harmed her or even forced her to do something against her own will. So how about you calm the hell down and stop twisting the things? I might be a goddamn villain but I'm not a monster."
Ella was caught off guard from the firm, cold and protective speech of James - she hadn't expected such an action from James even still stood stunned after he stormed back inside the academy with a huff escaping from his lips and annoyance that the moment between him and Bridget got ruined.
As for Bridget she felt how her heart skipped a few beats when he got in her defence and stood up for her to her overprotective friend - it meant a lot for Bridget yet she could see how he was tired to be looked like he was like Uliana - cruel, heartless, purely evil.
After James had left, Bridget turned towards Ella with disappointment in her eyes. Her friend still treated her like she couldn't defend herself from the harsh world or that she is too too naive to fall in every well made up lie.
"I appreciate your protection and care towards me but you should stop to treat me like I need protection from someone else with confidence and power...I know you think the best for me but this is not right in my perspective for you to control every goddamn movement I make. I decided I wanted to become James's friend, not you. So please, Ella show me support instead of scolding me and making me feel small. I have my parents for that task."
A heavy guilt washed over Ella's face after her friend's hurtful speech - she knew about the issues of Bridget and her family in Wonderland but she didn't expect to be just like her best friend's parents and making her feel like this.
Ella's eyes watched how Bridget walked past her with disappointment, hurt and small hint of anger across her soft features, Ella couldn't blame Bridget tho - she had it heavier than any other royalty in this academy.
A groan escaped from Ella's lips clearly annoyed with herself and the fact that she wasn't supporting towards Bridget and her decision about her friendship with Hook. Ella really had to work on some traits of hers so she could be a good friend for Bridget but now she decided to leave Bridget on her own to clear her mind.
Speaking of Bridget she had returned back in her dormitory to take a short nap before the next class to come and it was her least favourite one - magical history. Yes it was an interesting subject but professor/headmaster Merlin knew how to make the students to fall asleep on their wooden desks.
The young pink haired woman laid on her king-sized bed to stare up at the ceiling with decorative fake flowers and some small heart stickers at least they gave her small sense of comfort and eased up her tension and storm of emotions.
Her eyelids felt heavy and let them to close slowly, letting her body to drift back to her own wonderland where there was a peace, no overprotective friends, no bullies, academies and even her parents weren't welcome there.
A weak sigh escaped from her soft lips until her eyelids quickly shot open when she heard a knock on her door which made her half annoyed, half caught off guard - great another disturbance from someone or perhaps Ella.
Why she can't just take a small sip of peace?
Bridget grumbled softly under her nose while tying the knots of her ankle boots and walked towards the dormitory wooden door who she opened with the twist of the knob to her left.
For her surprise James stood there, staring down at her with eyes of conflict and desire before Bridget could've asked a question he suddenly stormed inside and placed his hand on her cheek, gently caressing it and leaning closer towards her lips with a heavy desire in his veins and a loud beating of his heart.
"I can't be your friend, your enemy...I can't stop think about you, your sweet face, your beauty...you are there in my mind and make me feel different. I can't stand to be in a friend zone or to be your enemy, I need you more than I need a goddamn reputation or gold."
Bridget's eyes widened she didn't even have the time to answer when she felt his lips pressing against her own soft and cinnamon ones making her shocked and surprised even turning into a blushing mess.
Her eyelids slowly closed letting herself to get lost in the kiss with Hook, the taste of sea and salt were coming from his cold lips who made her own ones swallow and pink.
It was her first kiss and so many emotions crossed her body even made her weak in the knees.
Bridget Hearts was literally kissed by James Hook who confessed his nagging emotions and the desire to taste her lips came more stronger that he couldn't believe himself that their lips were now in contact. This was one of the best kisses who Bridget even James could've think of.
