Clarkes POV
The next morning when I woke up Bellamy was nowhere to be found. I sat up in my bed and peeked out of my bedroom door which was open to see if Bellamy was cooking breakfast but the kitchen was empty. That's when I heard loud snoring coming from right next to me.

I peered over my bed to see Bellamy passed out on the floor. I got off my bed and crouched down next to him. I softly kissed his forehead and he woke up. "Hey, why are you on the floor?" I asked him. "Good morning beautiful, and you kicked me off the bed last night. I think my ribs are bruised" he told me.

"Bellamy I'm so sorry I haven't done that in months, I totally forgot about it. I guess it finally kicked in, no pun intended" I said winking. Bellamy laughed "that is the worst pun I've ever heard in my life." he said. "But it made you laugh" I told him. "Indeed it did princess."

"We should probably get ready, we still have to meet up with everyone," I told Bellamy. "I'm going to go shopping for Octavia's birthday gift ill be right back, I love you," he said and kissed me. "I love you too "I told him.

We rarely told each other we loved one other but it felt good. He walked out of the front door as I looked in my closet to see what I was going to wear. After about fifteen minutes I found an outfit and put on a pair of old Minnie mouse ears id gotten a few years ago. Then I did my makeup and curled my hair.

After I was done I sat on my bed and thought of what to do while Bellamy was gone

After I was done I sat on my bed and thought of what to do while Bellamy was gone. So I wrote my history assignment. I needed to get really good grades if I wanted to get into medical school.

I heard Bellamy unlock the door with the key I gave him a few weeks earlier. He walked inside with a very small bag. I walked over to the door. "What did you get her?" I asked. "Octavia said to get something small so we could fit it into her backpack to open there later. So I just got her a Starbucks card since that's literally all she drinks"

"True," I said. I really wanted to get Octavia something else for her birthday besides the Disneyland tickets but she wouldn't let me. I still felt like I was being a bad friend. "Come on princess, Octavia and the rest of the crew are already on there way there we got to start going," Bellamy told me as he put his hand through his hair.

"Ok let's go," I said. He took my hand in his and we walked out of the door. Then we drove off. As we drove Bellamy put his hand on my knee. I always hated when people touched me, probably because of my dad. And if anyone ever touched me id always squirms and quickly remove myself from them. I got used to it with my friends but I was never completely comfortable with it.

But when Bellamy touched me I felt like time stopped and it was just me and him. And when he stared at me with those big brown eyes my heart melted. I know this is real life, not a romance movie but with him, it felt like it.
