Her reason: Bellamy Blake

Chapter 37

Bellamy

"I suck at this' ' Melantha grumbles

"You do "she turns glaring at me. I snicker at her horrible job of patching sector seven. "I'm a doctor not a patcher?" She stares intensely at the wall.

"Well I'm a guard and not a patcher and I'm doing a better job then you" I quip. "Shut. Up" I chuckled and went behind her grabbing my hand.

I try to control myself but the way her hand fits perfectly in mine. The way it's cold but compliments my warm hands. I hold my breath and lean closer.

"Like this" I move her hand but she most definitely is not paying attention. "Bellamy," She whispered.

I love her. I love her.

"Uh oh, full name" I feel a smile grow on my face. She stared up at me. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. However long that is. "You ok?" I asked as her face had frozen.

"I really like you," She says. "I hope so" I laughed and she reached over and grabbed my hand.

"No, I really like you "My smile slowly falls.

She likes me? She really likes me? Ok calm the internal fangirling Bellamy.

"Um, s-sorry, forget I said that. I have to go he-help Abby" She steps back clearing her throat.

Huh? Where's she going?

I watch her go before my stupid brain kicks in and my mouth drops in shock of how stupid I am.

"I didn't say it back, I didn't say it back" I whisper and quickly follow down the hallway she went. Where did she go? Should I kiss her? Wait, is that weird? I don't think so. Gosh I love her. I love her. I love her. I love Melantha Mercantile!

I can't find her. I can't find her anywhere. I walk outside to see grounders coming through with King Roan in the lead. Why is he here? Maybe to lend some of his workers. Kane walks up.

"I need to speak to Mel" I frown at that. What does he want with her? Kane nods without questions and walks inside. A few seconds later with Melantha. My heart skips a beat. Melantha has always been beautiful, do not get me wrong.

But good heavens. I think I forgot how to breathe.

Her thick curly hair is up in a high bun, something I've never seen on her, rouge curls poking out from odd places but if anything it makes it better. Her bright green eyes stand out just as more and flash dangerously.

I drift down to her dress. Deep red that contrasts with her scars which she most likely hates. I think it makes her look prettier, more human.

The dress is about shin length. I bet Octavia made her wear it as she has a small scowl on her face and picks at the dress. Wonder where it came from?

She turns and makes eye contact. More flutters in my stomach. Oh my gosh I'm so whipped.

Roan says something to her and she turns her attention to him. An unsettling feeling in my stomach.

"Are you jealous?" I hear a snicker and turn to Jasper.

"Yeah" I admit. She just said she liked me an hour ago. Did something change? Did I do something?

They walk out finally with Mel's arm wrapped in his. He stops and bends down kissing her hand before turning and leaving.

I want to kill him.

"What was that about?" Octavia asks. "Um-" She has a frozen look on her face "Let's talk inside" She tilts her head and I follow.

"So why did he ride all the way out here?" Kane asks. I lean against the wall looking at her as she glances at me. "Well-um It's weird" "Weird?" Monty asks.

"Yeah he uh, he asked me too-" "Too what woman!" Miller yells and she turns glaring.

"Too marry him Miller! Jeez!" She snapped and then covered her mouth, wide eyed.

My heart falls. What? No she was supposed to-I was supposed to marry her. I want to marry her

"Marry?" I stand straighter as she looks over.

Please say your kidding oh please.

"Said he wants me to be his queen, I think he's gone crazy" "Why because he likes you? A lot of people like you, M" Octavia says.

"Not at the point of marriage!" "So you're not going to marry him?" I ask feeling somewhat hopeful

"Of course not, I've only known him a month. I wish he asked someone else, this would be a great opportunity to get our clan closer" She leaned her elbows against the table, closing her eyes.

"So is he going to kill us now that he's broken-hearted?" Monty asks and her cheeks heat up. I grit my teeth. "Mel-" Kane says and she winces.

"Well I didn't exactly say no-" "What?" I snapped, not even realizing what I was saying.. "Well I was confused, and caught off guard. I didn't say yes "

"It's not that hard to say no' ' I said and she hardened her gaze. "Why do you care?" I open my mouth, close it, and open it again

Because I love you more than anything in this world or any other world

"I don't, marry him if you want"

what? How did that come out?

"Maybe I will!" She yells getting closer to me

Please don't. I'm sorry.

"Ok!" I yell.

I'm stupid

"Ok!" She throws her hands up and storms out. "Idiot!" I yell and smack my head. "I definitely agree with you on this one big brother" Octavia scoffs and runs out.

"Dude, you are very stupid" Miller shakes his head and I push down the feeling of throwing up.

"Do you think she will marry him?" I ask and Kane walks over hand on my shoulder.

"Son, do you love her"

"Yes" I say without hesitation.

"Then what the hell are you waiting for?"

Good question.
