Together Forever

Chapter Twenty Four

Clarke pulled back onto their street Sunday afternoon, finally turning her phone back on. Turning into Bellamy's driveway, she turned the car off.

They walked hand in hand into his house, immediately greeted by Aurora and Abby.

"They're back," Abby sighed. "Welcome home."

"Thank you," Bellamy smiled. He turned to Clarke and kissed her forehead. "I'm going to shower and unpack, okay? I'll see you in the morning?"

Clarke nodded, smiling. "Yeah, okay." She turned to head back out to her car, driving the very short distance to her house. She unloaded her small bag and started the washer.

She decided to shower as well, so she started the hot water. She stepped into the hot water, immediately sighing. The hot water relaxed her muscles, and she allowed her mind to relax as well.

The stay had been amazing. The fire keeping them warm as they had spent hours in each other's arms. The sex was amazing, slow, and dramatic. Clarke had been too afraid to speed things up, but they'd still seen stars. It had been powerful.

She hadn't slept much, though. She had laid back, feeling him breathe as she chanted "thank you" over and over again to heaven, to the sky, to her Dad. Whoever had been looking out for Bellamy.

She checked the clock as she got dressed, it was only a little after seven, but she was so tired that she crawled between her sheets. Not long after her head hit the pillow, her eyes closed.
