Chapter Twenty Five

Thanks for reading!😁❤️

Bellamy's point of view

My eyes burn, as I open them, looking up into the sky. I look down at the figure wrapped in my arms. Clarke. She must have got in last night. A small smile spreads onto her face as I pull her closer to me, wrapping my arms around her completely. Finally her eyes flutter open. A smile creeps its way into my face as her blue eyes meet mine.
"Good morning princess."

Clarke's point of view

I gazed into his deep brown eyes, oblivious to the work that had to be done today for a few blissful moments. "Good morning Bell."
I watched as recognition gleamed in his eyes at my usage of the nickname, a small smile spreading over his face.
"Finally, the two lovebirds are awake," Raven's teasing voice carried over to us.
In front of me, Bellamy closed his eyes, letting out a huff as a sheepish grin spread over his features.
Feeling heat gather on my cheeks, I sat up. I saw Raven perched on one of the logs placed around our fire site, the rifle that I had passed on to her still around her shoulder. A plate of berries sat in her lap.
I noticed the rover and the others were gone. Looking up at the sky, I figured it was close to noon.
This was the latest I'd ever woken up. Curse Bellamy and his coziness.
I stood up, stretching. Looking back at Raven as I was putting on my boots, I questioned, "Where's Madi? Did she go with the others?"
"No, she's out looking for more of those berries," she nodded at the plate. "After breakfast earlier, these are the last ones."
I suddenly remembered the bear, fear growing within me. "She's out there, alone?"
At the concern that was evident in my voice, Raven quickly assured me, "Yes, but she took one of the rifles. She's a smart kid, Clarke. I'd imagine she can handle herself."
I let out a sigh. "Still, I need to check on her."
"You should eat something first. So should you, Bellamy."
Bellamy, who had rolled up the sleeping bag and put on his boots and his jacket, shook his head at Raven. "Clarke can have them."
"No, Bellamy, you're going to be lifting rubble all day. You need them more than I do." As Bellamy opened his mouth to protest, I cut him off. "I'm not going to argue with you about this. Have them."
Bellamy let out a groan, "Fine. But if you and Madi find any more of those berries, you're having them."
I snorted as his commanding tone, "Yes, sir."
As Raven got up, she gave the plate to Bellamy. She handed me the rifle, "Take this. Just in case."
I nodded, "Thanks."
Raven told me the direction that Madi had gone, and I quickly set off in search of her. Before I reached the edge of the clearing, I heard Bellamy's voice behind me.
"Be careful."
I paused, looking over my shoulder at him. "You too."
And I was off.

Bellamy's point of view

with the small plate of berries, I sit down, throwing one into my mouth.
"So... you and clarke, huh?"
I turn to look toward a smirking raven.
A small smile spreads onto my face, but I try to hide it by looking down at my berries clarke gave me, "What are you taking about raven?"
A small laugh escapes her mouth as she sits up. "Your kidding me, right? Like you guys share a sleeping bag!"
I look up, heat rushing into my cheeks. "That's because there's not enough-"
"Bellamy you two woke us all up last night when you were teasing each other."
I look back down at my berries as Echo walks in, sitting beside me.
My cheeks get even warmer, feeling a blush spreading.
Hello Bellamy," she nods, popping one of my berries into her mouth.
"Hey," I answer quickly.
She places a hand on my shoulder, looking toward me. "Can I talk to you?"
I look up, feeling my blush fade. "Uh... what do you need?"
She stands up and waves me to follow. "You'll see."
