Tough Love

8.

THE PINK HAIRED girl started to stir, she felt herself slowly start gain consciousness as her eyelids opened just a bit.

She was warm. Usually she woke up to a cold bed but not today, she realised a certain boy was holding her in his arms.

Hook had her engulfed in his arms, she could hear his light snores which made her laugh a little.

She realised that she was supposed to get going today to be able to arrive in Wonderland by the 5th and then it would be Bria's wedding.

She needed to pack her bags. Hook needed to pack his bags—though she wasn't to sure why he wanted to come, maybe he agreed out of politeness, whether he wanted to come or not, she needed to pack.

Slowly, Bridget tried to ease out of his arms but just as she was about to escape, a quick gasp came out of her mouth as he hugged her tighter, this time moving her even closer to his chest.

Bridget was in shock, she didn't know what to do, The newfound proximity between them was new to Bridget, she'd never been this close to a man before, although it felt calming to be wrapped in his arms.

She felt comfortable and safe, It was a new feeling, Her slight crush on the pirate before had grown into a strong liking.

"Uh..Hook?" She tried to wake him up but to no avail and instead snuggled up ever closer to the girl who now could smell all the notes of his cologne.

She slightly tapped the boy on his chest, "come on, I need to pack." The boy groaned, bringing her as he turned onto his back, Bridget laying flat on top of him.

The girl was flustered, unable to mutter a word but as she noticed only one arm was on her waist, she got off the boy and sat on the bed beside him.

She stared at his face, He was so handsome and he looked so calm. His black eyeliner was smudged from the day before.

Bridget admired the boy in front of her before she stood up and walked to her bathroom to start getting ready for her trip back to Wonderland.

Bridget was terrified to say the least, She didn't want to go back home. She didn't want to face her father, her mother—who would berate her about getting married.

And most of all, She didn't want to see Bria. Sure she missed her sister and all, though she wasn't sure if Bria missed her.

She finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, as she walked back into her room she realised that Hook was now awake, "Princess?" he questioned as he started looking around the room as he realised that he had forgotten he'd slept over the night before.

"Hello," Bridget smiled at the pirate "Still up for going to Wonderland?" She laughed

"Is it gonna be off with my head when your parents see me with you?" he chuckled staring at the girl

The girl chuckled at the joke "My parents don't mind who I'm around..Just no bad influences."

The boy gasped jokingly "Guess my villain-ness has faded a bit."

Bridget rolled her eyes playfully "So, do you want to come?"

Hook nodded "Why not?" he shrugged "I have nothing else to do."

THE PAIR PACKED their belongings, shoving them into 2 suitcases "So, I've called hatter and he should be here in about..."

And just then someone knocked on her door, Bridget smiled "That must be him."

As she opened the door, The familiar boy from Wonderland came into view, "Hey!" She greeted Hatter, hugging him tightly.

Hook felt himself wince a tiny bit seeing their affection towards eachother, as they let go Bridget started to introduce the two boys "Hatter this is Hook, captain Hook and Hook this is Hatter." She says

Hatter nodded "You both ready? We should leave now. Tomorrow is your sisters wedding and we all know how she gets."

Bridget nodded "Come on." she says grabbing Hooks hand but quickly stopping "Can I?" she asked

Hook felt hesitant but in the end complied. "Yeah, sure." he said as the two intertwined their fingers, holding hands.

She grinned at his compliance as she dragged him towards the limo they'd be taking, "this is..fancy." Hook said, he'd never been in such vehicle.

She laughed "Nice right?" They both take a seat as Hatter started to drive. She handed him a few candies that were from back home "Here, try some."

Hesitantly he popped one of the sour sweets into his mouth, grimacing. "It's so..sour but in a good way. It's..It's good"

Bridget nodded in agreement.

After about 2 hours, they finally arrived. "Come on. I'll take you to where we're staying and Hatter will take care of our luggage." Bridget said taking Hooks hand as they walked towards the large castle.

"It's so cold here." he said, "I know..It's just how it is here y'know." Bridget sighed

"Come on, I need to introduce you my family. Also sometimes my sister can be a bit.."

"A bit what huh?" A voice came from behind them. Out of protection, Hook grabbed Bridget by the waist, gently pushing her behind him.

"Hello, and you are?" The blonde haired girl asked Hook.

"Captain Hook. Nice to meet you, and who are you?" He asked as Bridget came out from behind him, standing beside him.

"Future queen of Wonderland." She announced proudly.

Hook held out a protective arm over Bridget's shoulder, "I asked for your name, not your title." He said sternly.

Bria smirked "Fiesty..I like it. Princess Bria" she turned towards Bridget "Bridget's elder sister." she laughed "You probably couldn't tell..she is not as pretty as the rest of us"

Hook furrowed his eyebrows, "I think she is very beautiful."

Bria snarled, "And you must be her boyfriend?"

Bridget shook her head in disagreement, "no—no, he's just a friend from school. I brought him here as a plus one for your wedding."

Bria smirked, "single huh..today's my last day of being free.." she started to touch his bicep.

Hook quickly moved his arm out the way, "I'm not a touchy person." he said

Bria furrowed her eyebrows, "Oh come on, You have your arm over my sister..and your not dating her? I can show you a good time.."

Bridget gulped, "Bria, stop it. You're getting married tomorrow. Stop acting like this, he has a girlfriend already."
