Newt's Girl (The Maze Runner) Newt Love Story

Chapter 4

The rest of the night I sat with newt and Minho by the fire. They teased and fought each other the entire night. Everything was a competition. Who could eat their food the fastest, who could drink the most. Minho liked to tease newt about me causing me to laugh and newt's face to redden. But he still remained close to me throughout the night. Eventually Minho had a little too much to drink and he started to try to kiss newt saying how much he loved us and how "newty was the cutest of all the boys in the glade.",causing us to fall off the log from laughter.

Eventually I couldn't hold in my yawn any longer and my eyes started to droop shut. I leaned my head against newts shoulder as the night went on.

"Okay I think it's time we go to bed before you pass out and I have to bloody care you the entire way."

"It's not like it would be hard. You've already proven that to me today." I smile

"True". He laughs as he picks me up bridal style and carries me back towards the homestead. I begin to protest but I stop myself when I feel the heat radiating off his skin filling me with warmth. His touch alone sends shocks of electricity running through me and I love the feeling of it.

Calm yourself Carly, he's just a friend.

Newt climbs the stairs to his room and places me on the bed. I'm barely awake but I can feel him pulling the thin sheet over me as I slip into unconsciousness.

I wake up with a start and quickly look around me trying to figure out where I am. Then I remember and I begin to relax. I'm still covered in the blanket. I see newt curled up on the chair in the corner. He has no blankets and he looks uncomfortable. Soft snores come from his slightly parted mouth. I couldn't help but to stare at him. He's so cute when he sleeps.

My thoughts travel as I stare at him so I don't realize when he starts to stir. "Like what you see" he says huskily from sleep, it was really hot. I adverted my eyes quickly and my face heats up. He laughs and comes over and lays on the bed, softly snoring again.

"Wake Up!" I laugh. He's definitely not a morning person.

He groans but sits up, his hair sticking up in a many directions. I stifle a laugh as I run my hands through his hair fixing it. "That feels nice". He says closing his eyes.

"Oh no you don't! Wake up mister! I need food in my body before I die!" I cry pulling on his arm with all my strength but he doesn't move an inch.

"How do you eat so much. Your the smallest person I've ever met."

"That's because I'm surrounded by a bunch of boys so I would seem small." I huff, "but I'm gonna eat you if you don't get up!" I continue to pull on his arm. He smirks at what I just said.

"I'd like to see you try."

"I bet you would." I laugh. Unexpectedly he moves his arm towards me causing me to fall over since I was pulling with all my strength. "Aghhhhh".

He chuckles as he looks over the edge of the bed. "You good down there?" He smiles innocently.

"Just peachy. How's the weather up there?" I snipe back.

"Nice and sunny." He stands up, "what're you doing? get off the floor or were gonna miss breakfast!" He smirks mischievously, turning it around on me.

"You've got to be kidding me."

"Nope" he pops the 'p' and barrels down the stairs leaving me to run out after him.

"Wait up! I have tiny legs!"

He laughs, "your adorable you know that?" My heart stops beating and the air catches in my throat. He thinks I'm adorable? No he probably was just saying that in a friendly way. I decide to give him a compliment as well,
