Paradise - A Newt Imagine

Chapter Fourteen

White knuckled, you gripped the material of Chase's shirt as he sped across the road, completely ignoring the painted white lines and swerving in and out of oncoming traffic, the drone of him switching lanes filled your ears. The cold November wind harsh in your face, your squinted eyes only just making out street lamps and houses as they whizzed past.

Chase slid into Olly's driveway sideways sending rocks and dirt flying, kicking the bike to a stop he pulled his off his helmet and hooked it to one on the handles, wrapping his hands around your waist to help you down.

"I still don't get why you couldn't just stay at my place so we could finish what we started." he whined as you pulled your helmet off an shook your hair free.

"You, my friend, need a cold shower. Or two." you smiled, pecking his lips before making to walk up the drive.

"Oh come on," he moaned, "at least give me a propper goodnight kiss." his fingers gripped yours. You smiled gently and let yourself into his arms; he crooked his index finger under your chin so you could look at him "I can't get enough of you." his face cracked into a boyish grin as you kissed him. He swept his tongue across your bottom lip and you opened your mouth, deepening the kiss; your hands tugging lightly at the ends of his hair, knowing it drove him crazy.

"Excuse me."

"Busted." Chase muttered against your mouth. You chuckled and raised your head to see Mickey outlined in the doorway. "Hey, Mick." Chase lifted his hand in a weak wave.

"Hi Chase." she marched down her stairs to stand in the garden, "Y/n, could you come inside please?" she raised her eyebrows.

"Why do I feel like a naughty teenager getting caught in act?" you questioned, pressing your lips to Chase's before pushing off him, scurrying up the path next to Mickey.

The minute the front door slammed against the polished frame Mickey exploded, banging her fists against your shoulders and screaming "You're in love with Newt and he's in love with you and it's not fair on Chase to lead him on and it's also not fair on yourself because I can tell how much you're hurting but your also being really selfish because you're not the only one with guy problems okay?" You blinked in astonishment at her outburst.

"I- I didn't- I never even- it's just-" you stuttered, trying to find a point in which to use for defence, however before you could grasp a coherent thought, the bottom step creaked.

"She's right." Olly sighed as she sank down, weaving a loose thread between her fingers, "you've been blocking us out, and all for Chase! God damn it Y/n you don't even like him!"

"Yes I d-"

"You're in love with Newt! We all know it!" she stood up, "but, luckily for you, we didn't bring you over just to yell at you. We have actually devised a plan to get us all what we want."

"A plan?" you raised your eyebrows skeptically.

"Yes, and all you gotta do is wander 'round to 'ol Newtie's house and talk to him." Mickey flipped a curtain of rouge from her face as she spoke.

"No. No absolutely not there is no way in hell I'm going over there." you berried your heel into the carpet. Olly and Mickey shared a look.

-

"Fine fine! I'll go!" you rubbed your temples.

"Finally." Olly sighed, plopping into a chair, "I was running out of points."

"You know I hate you both, right?" you groaned as you slipped into your coat. Your best friends just smiled as you slammed their front door.

You jogged across the neat front lawn, the crisp grass crunching beneath your feet as the mildew dissolved.
