Forty Seven.

Forty Seven.

James' POV.

As they led us towards the play room as if we were some sort of 'in very much trouble' teenagers, a part of me couldn't help feel a little bit nervous, but the other half was actually relieved. This was what I'd been waiting all along.

I took a glance at Belle and her cheeks were flushed and she didn't stop staring at the floor. Clearly, she hadn't been counting on this.

They sat us down on the couch and stood in front of us waiting for an explanation.

Geez, I'd never even been in so much trouble with my parents...

Well, except when... Yeah, you know...

"Come on. Let it all out", Belle said beside me, wanting to get done with it already.

Okay... Where to begin? How to begin? Maybe I should just let them say something first. After all, they were the angry ones.

"I don't even know where to start", Tom said like reading my mind.

"I can't even even...", Barclay pretended to be angry by this point.

"I told you guys this was all some wicked plan they came up with when we locked them up in the bathroom...", Jake finally said sitting down.

"What's going on guys?", Reece asked genuinely curious.

They all looked at us with an eager look on their faces waiting for us to say something.

"You guys couldn't even stand each other and now you can't keep your hands off each other?", Casey finally asked.

Ding, ding, ding. We found ourselves a winner.

I exchanged a single look with Belle befre I finally started talking:

"It's basically what Casey said... We talked in the bathroom...", I said mainly to the boys who'd never believed us since the bathroom incident, "and realised we'd started off with the wrong foot. Once we started tolerating each other, I guess... we simply realised how much we actually liked each other".

"So you are together now?", Chris asked what everyone was dying to know.

I turned to Chris, trying to process his words.

Were we together?

"Yeah", I smiled as I admitted it.

Belle took my hand, gently, reassuringly so as to let me know that what I'd said had been perfect.

"Oh no... Does this mean you're gonna start having sex in the house now?", Tom whined.

"Oh my God, Tom, we're not doing this right now!", Belle stood up from the couch, ready to leave, completely embarrassed.

I laughed out loud at her and stood up to put my arms around her waist to stop her from leaving.

"Anyways, now we all know where you guys stand... Congrats are in order!", Charlie spoke up as they all came to congratulate us, the guys patting my back.

"What are you doing?", Belle asked surprised when I irrupted into her bedroom with a spare pillow and my computer.

"Since we don't have to hide anymore, I just thought we should enjoy our time together to the max", I said putting down my things on the bed.

"We're not sleeping together, James", she pointed out.

"Aw, man", I pretended to pick my pillow and leave. "I'm joking. I seriously just want to watch a movie", I said jumping onto the bed.

"Netflix and chill?".
