In Hate, We Love

26. 'Friends'

I find myself not going home after the ball. How have I ended up back at Bellamy's?

It is late and we are both pretty tired, the night has been good! My mum left without me and I guess I decided to go home with Bellamy!

We walk in and he takes off his jacket and pulls off his tie.

I take off my shoes and watch Bellamy as he undoes the top button of his white shirt but no more.

I walk to Bellamy's room. My clothes are still here, thats why I came back! That is absolutely the only reason...right?

I step back out and turn to Bellamy who is watching me with those deep eyes of his. I smile and pull my hair over my shoulder, "would you...mind?" I ask, turning to show the zip.

I hear him walk over silently and I almost flinch as his fingers brush between my shoulder blades.

Bellamy slowly pulls the zip down, all the way to the small of my back.

There is a pause, a moment where we are both silent. I dont want him to move away. I admit it!

His hand slowly traces up the side of the open zip, my skin fizzing as his fingertips travel the length of my back.

His hand lingers on the one sided strap. For a monent it feels like he might slip it off, for a moment... I want him too.

His hand drops, brushing my back one last time.

"We should get some sleep" he says in a quiet voice that sounds unlike himself.

My breath catches in my throat slightly and I snap back to reality, "yeah...thank you. Goodnight." I say, before walking into his bedroom and carefully closing the door.

...

Bellamy's hands brush gently against the bare skin on my back. I shiver at the feeling.

His hand closes around the strap of my dress and soon enough he has slipped it off my shoulder.

My dress falls down to my hips and settles there.

His hands scoop my hair out of the way and his soft lips kiss my neck gently.

I lean into him and close my eyes, allowing his hands to hold my waist. He spins me round to face him in one swift movement, his hands still on my hips.

I run a finger down the line of buttons on his white shirt and I undo them one by one, pulling the shirt off him entirely once I am finished.

Bellamy smiles as I shamelessly admire his chest. He leans in and-

Okay i'm awake! Damn it, couldnt I have slept just a little longer...okay I need to snap out of this, man is it hot in here?

I soon fall into a dreamless sleep until the early morning.

I get up, dress and sneak past Bellamy who is asleep on the sofa and I leave without a sound, feeling far too awkward to look at him.

I visit Wells and sit with him. His neck is still bruised and when I decide to tell him what has been going on, about Finn and my worries about the council, he listens intently.

He probably would have told me off for breaking into the council's office and Jackson's surgery if he could talk with more ease.

We sit and play chess while I speak.

"So you and Bellamy are friends?" Is what Wells says after everything.

I hesitate slightly, taken aback and the word 'friends' bothers me slightly...images of my most recent dream popping up in my mind, I push them aside.

"Uh yeah, a lot has changed... we just misjudged oneanother-"

"But after how he treated you!" Wells wheezes.

"Rest your voice, and I know what he did and said to me but he apologised and I understand where he was coming from" I say, thinking about the rather pretentious ball I just attended. It made Bellamy's accusations of me being privileged sound pretty spot on.

Wells slightly shakes his head but doesnt argue anymore, "well i'm glad he's no longer a bother, and you said Kane arrested Finn?" Wells asks.

"Yeah, well Kane didnt specify a name but apparently he confessed..." I sigh.

"God I can't believe he pulled a gun on you...well I guess it was aimed at Bellamy...and I suppose I can understand that-"

"Wells!" I exclaim, smiling a bit.

"Sorry, sorry" he says but he is smiling too. Now i'm the one shaking my head.

"Just move a piece, it's your turn"

***

Bellamy arrives at my house later the same evening to pick me up.

"Ready?" He asks and I glance back into my dimly lit house and at my mums closed bedroom door which she is behind, sleeping.

If we get caught, we will be floated.

I look up at Bellamy and say "No." As I walk out of the door and push past him.

We head down to Medical in silence, Bellamy holding the stolen key card from Jackson in his hand.

I swipe us in and we head to the locked door.

Bellamy runs the card over the reader and it seems to process forever until the light turns green and the door slides open for us.

I step inside slowly and an uneasy feeling creeps through my body.

I clasp my hands over my mouth to stifle a scream. "Oh my god!"

AN: What could be in the room? ;)
