Bellamy Blake Imagines

Ummm, No XXXXVII

A movement stirs me. I blink a little to try and adjust to the brightness of the room. Once I'm actually awake and can see, I look up from the chest I've been resting on. It's been a while since I was the first one up so I take a second and just take him in. How soft his features look when he isn't struggle under all kinds of stress. How his freckles are scattered across his cheeks and how cute they are as they are accompanied by the couple curls that have fallen into his face. Wait, cute? How on a sec, am I blushing. I just woke up my heart shouldn't be beating this fast.

He shifts again and this time pulls me tighter into his chest with a smile. In response my heart flutters. Nope, nope this isn't happening.

I pull away and start gathering up my scatter articles of clothing. My abrupt withdrawal wakes him. He leans on one arm and squints at me. "What was that all about." He yawns. He sits up once he is awake enough to understand what I'm doing. "Wow, wait? You have never left right away before. Really wait a second (y/n),where are you going?"

"I know Bell. I would love to stick around and chill like normal but..." I grab my bag and see its current content. Thank you Jesus, God, Buddha, Oprah, I don't know, whoever out there who totally has my back at this very moment. "I remembered that I forgot to go to the gym yesterday and since I don't want to get out of the habit, I need to do that now." I lift my sneakers out of my bag for reenforcement.

"You literally jumped out of bed because you worried about not exercising enough. One missed gym day isn't going to kill you (y/n). Plus you might say last night was enough of a workout to make up for it." He says with the cheekiest of grins.

I can't help but grin myself as a great comeback comes to mind. No (y/n). You are leaving not starting something. "No comment there Blake, anyways I need to go. I'll text you later." I state as I quickly slip out the door.

I speed down the hall toward the elevator just in case he tries to follow. I stop in front of the big medal doors and practically attack the button with my thumb. I stop and look at myself in the reflection. I should be concerned about walking around in public, looking as disheveled as I do. The only thing I can really focus on however is how red my face still is and there is no way it's from a brisk walk.

————————————

Hair? Looks more acceptable now that it's pulled back. Clothes? Tank, sports bra, shorts and sneaks and you would never know I didn't go home last night. Smell? Oh, not the best. Well smelling like this make the gym a no go. I guess I'm jogging around the park today. After fifteen minutes I'll have a clear head and I can blame this smell on the sweat.

I start my timer and I'm off. After a few minutes I feel a bump on my shoulder. I gasp and whip my head around. "Haha, calm down there SpeedRacer. It's just me."

"Oh my god Raven. You scared the hell out of me." I laugh as I try and catch my breath.

"Sorry about that. So where were you yesterday?" Raven asks not bothering to flower anything up. "It's not like you to skip."

"Yeah I know. I packed my gym bag and everything but a friend of mine really wanted to hang out so..."

"So does is this friend of yours the "I've known them since we were five and can't ever let them down" type or the "too hot to ever say no to" type?"

I break into hysterics. Luckily I can blame it a little on her tone and that eyebrow wiggle and not just the mad awkwardness that is filling my entire being. "Geeez, you can't just say shit like that. I'm trying to run Raven, I need to be able to breath." I sneak between laughs.

She giggles some and we slow our run to a jog so I don't pass out as I try to get my breathing back to normal. After a minute or so. "So am I gonna get an answer or...." She casual inquires.

"You could say it is a weird in-between, I guess. This morning I had some feelings that took me a little by surprise."

"Oh the whole falling for a friend thing. Being friends first is great place to start a more romantic sort of relationship though. I would say feel things out first and then make the decide on if you want to tell them. I would just stay clear of sleeping with them though. From remembering what happened to some of my friends back in school, that seems to complicate things if you start off that way."

I just nod my head in agreement and keep quiet. I don't think she would judge me but I'm too worked up to start that conversation right now. If 'just friends to hooking up' tends to prevent a good relationship what does that mean for one was just sex to becoming friends? So much for a run clearing my head.
