Hard Times

Chapter 24

Clarkes POV
"Uh I guess" I said unexictedly, trying to hold back my smile. "You guess? Thats all you got to say?" He replied smirking.

"Im joking. Yes I'll marry you."  I said smiling so hard I thought my face might rip open. He got up and slid the ring on my finger. It was a perfect fit and it was beautiful. I jumped on him and we both fell down onto the sand. 

"Fuck I think you broke my leg" he laughed. "Shut up, maybe you should go to the gym more" I replied laughing and looking into his beautiful brown eyes as I laid on top of him.

"I know we're young and we've been dating for less than a year but, clarke I love you and I seriously don't know what I would do without you in my life. And god you are so beautiful." He said as he tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.

"I didn't like you at first and thats no secret, but your not the same guy you were 2 years ago. You have such a big heart Bellamy you just have tolet other people see it. Now kiss me already dork."

"Whatever you say princess." He rolled me over so now he was on top of me. 
At first the kiss was soft, but then he moved slowy down my neck. I think you can tell what happened next.

Later Bellamy fell asleep and I laid on his chest. I stared at him, which I found myself doing alot lately.

I always looked at him and thought sweet, caring, handsome. But I realized now that perfect was the best word to describe him and now somehow he was all mine, and I was so thankful.

If someone told me I would be engaged to Bellamy Blake a year ago I'd laugh in there face but now it was actually happening.

Bellamys POV
I woke up the next morning and put my arms around Clarke to keep her warm. I still couldn't believe she would say yes to someone like me. She was smart, beautiful, caring, and so strong.

A princess as I liked to call her. I don't know why she would say yes to someone like me but I was so happy she did.

I wrapped my finger around her blonde silking hair and watched her sleep on my chest. I began to wonder what she dreamed about, I wish I knew. I bet it was beautiful.

I laid their for a moment and looked at the bright blue sky with no clouds in sight.

My life couldn't possibly be better. I had amazing friends, and family, I was surprisingly going to graduate high school, and I was getting married to my best friend.

I felt hands slide up and down my chest, clarke was awake. "Good morning beautiful" I told her kissing her forehead. "Good Morning" she yawned. I wrapped my arms around her waist tightly and rolled over so I was now on top of her. I began to kiss her all over.

"Lets go swimming" I told her as I got up. "But were in our underwear, and people are here." she said covering herself with a towel. "No one will know the difference, now come on princess." she rolled her eyes and extended her hand. I grabbed it and helped her up. We ran into the water and started splashing eachother.

Then we got cold and decided to get out. Clarke wrapped herself in a towel as we started making a sand castle. Clarke always made me feel like a kid. I loved feeling like there wasn't a care in the world, thinking nothing could ever go wrong.

Hours passed by and I realized this was out last night in Hawaii. So I decided we should all do something together. "I think we should have a barbecue tonight and tell everyone about our engagement" I told Clarke as she finshed the sand castle.

"You didn't tell them before you proposed?" she asked wiping the sand off of her hands with a towel. "No I only told them about the dinner I was planning. I wanted it to be a surprise and if I told Octavia she would end up telling you."

"Oh ok sure, I'll go get everyone out here while you go buy a barbeque and some pattys for burgers." She began heading to the hotel as I started jogging to the uber I called. "I love you, ill be back as soon as possible" I yelled. She smiled before opening the door to the hotel and disappearing from view.

I got back 15 minutes later and saw everyone laughing by the shore. They noticed me and came running to the sand. I set down the barbeque and put the pattys on the grill. Murphy and I made the food while the girls sat blankets down on the sand for all of us to sit on.

After we all finished eatting Clarke and I decided to tell everyone about our engagement.

"So you guys know about the dinner we all planned yesterday for Clarke and I right" Octavia eyes fell on me and then moved to Clarke. "Yea, wait did something go wrong? Did you guys break up?" Octavia asked with a scared face.

"Oh god no Octavia, we actually got engaged" Clarke said.

"Wait seriously? this means your going to be my sister this fucking amazing. I just want to say thank you Clarke, for making my brother happy, Congratulations guys." Octavia said to Clarke and hugged us both. Then she looked at Clarkes ring.

"Wow it's beautiful the diamond is alittle to small for my taste though" Octavia said. Clarke knelt her head on my shoulder. "Well I think its perfect."

She rubbed her thumb on the diamond softly. I hoped she liked the ring and wasn't just saying that to please me.

Clarke got cold so i gave her the sweatshirt Id been wearing earlier. It was so big on her but she looked so cute in it.

We all laid down on the blankets and quickly everyone fell asleep besides Clarke and I. We stared at the sky and spotted a shooting star. "Make a wish" Clarke said. I kissed her cheek while cuddling her. "I don't even know what I would wish for."

We were both drawling out the big dipper with our pointer finger when Clarke got a call. "I'll be right back I don't want to wake anyone." I nodded and watched her walk away.

A couple minutes later she came back with a huge smile plastered on her face. "Who was it?" I asked.

"Well last year I applied to one of the best medical schools in the country and they want me to do an interview. They said I have a good chance of getting in." I scooped her up and rocked her like a baby "Clarke that's great where is it?" Her smile dropped "New York..."
