wiping my brow from the sweat collecting on my forehead, I take a deep breath and look around. myself and 99 other teenagers were now building a wall around the makeshift camp due to the threat of a grounder attack, everyone around camp was on edge after what happened to jasper.
sitting down on a log i close my eyes and tilt my head back letting the refreshing breeze cool my skin,
'sorry, am i interrupting?'
i opened my eyes and turned my head to see the familiar face of jake, i took classes with jake back on the ark. he was tall, lean and very attractive. his light blue eyes, gorgeous tanned skin and bleach blonde hair made him extremely desirable to the girls, sometimes even the guys too. all though despite his attractiveness, i've never seen jake as more then just a friend.
'no, just taking a quick break from lifting these logs. they're heavier then they look you know' I joked.
'a gorgeous girl like you shouldn't be stuck with a job like this' he smirked at me.
jake was known to be a flirt but he knew with me it was only platonic,
'oh? and what should i be doing instead?'
jake smiled mischievously, 'something more interesting, maybe you should be doing something like me.'
i laughed and shook my head at him, 'keep dreaming jake'
unknown to us an envious bellamy was watching on from where he stood a few metres away, occasionally barking orders to whoever was unfortunate enough to be there at the time. bellamy wasn't sure why he felt the burn of jealousy in the pit of his stomach, you had both made it clear to each other the moment you stepped on the ground that you had an obvious dislike for each other, you and bellamy were constantly clashing from how the camp should be run or to how the rations should be organised, any chance you got you were at each other's throats. what you hadn't realised is that this was both of your ways of dealing with the hidden feelings you both harboured for each other, you cared about each other more then you should but pride and stubbornness got in the way of admitting that to yourselves and to each other. something about the way jake was flirting and making you laugh was enough to drive him crazy, but what drew the final straw was when jake sat down next to you and swung his arm over your shoulder, pressing a playful kiss to the side of your forehead.
bellamy's blood boiled when he saw this, to make things worse you didn't even push him away, you just smiled wider and laughed it off. bellamy had enough of watching this display of affection between you two, so he marched over to where you were sitting with a cold glare etched into his face.
the sound of someone clearing their throat interrupted jake from the joke he was telling you, which was making you giggle uncontrollably.
'haven't you got a watch shift now jake?'
both you and jake turned your heads to face a very pissed off bellamy.
'i don't think so, i'm pretty sure i don't swap with the next person for another twenty minutes' replied jake who still had a slight smile on his face from laughing so much.
bellamy's glare hardened even more,
'okay well i want you to start your shift early, go and tell who ever is on watch now to report back to me'
jake was confused as to why bellamy wanted him to start his shift early but it all made sense when he turned to see the look he was giving you. although bellamy was wearing a glare, a look of jealousy was present on his face. jake understood immediately and removed his arm from your shoulder and stood up, bellamy had made it clear that he wanted himself and y/n to be left alone.
'okay well i better be going, catch you later y/n.' he shouted over his shoulder as he walked away, but not before turning around and giving you one last wink just to irritate bellamy further.
a look of displeasure crossed bellamy's face as he saw you smile and giggle lightly to yourself at he gesture, you then turned your body towards him.
'what was that for?' you quizzed, you knew there was another reason for sending jake away.
'i don't know what you're talking about' bellamy replied nonchalantly. he was about to walk away when you spoke again.
'c'mon bellamy i know you didn't send jake away so he could start his shift early, we weren't doing anything wrong. i was just taking a break with him'
'you were doing something wrong, you were sitting around flirting with each other which doesn't help to protect this camp from grounders in any way.' bellamy replied with clear jealousy lacing his voice.
you were taken back, why would bellamy care about your love life?
'what's it to you if i'm flirting with someone?'
bellamy visibly stiffened at the question, obviously not expecting it. it mattered a lot to bellamy who you were flirting with, especially if that person wasn't him.
'nothing, it means nothing to me who you're flirting with.' he muttered, bellamy's demeanour had changed from his usual confident self to introverted. he turned away and started walking in hopes that you wouldn't see the light blush which was dusting his freckled cheeks.
you grabbed his wrist as he walked away and turned him you face you,
'wait a second, are you jealous?' you challenged, a small smirk found its way onto your face.
bellamy definitely wasn't expecting this question, he quickly dropped his head, he quickly became embarrassed and all he could give in response was a short no.
you smiled, so he was jealous.
'okay, well if you don't mind i'm going to keep jake company on his shift.'
you let go of his wrist and began to walk away but before you could get too far you felt yourself being pulled back by your hand and spun around into bellamy's hard chest.
'you're going to stay with me where i can see you, i don't want to see you flirting with him again.' bellamy said, managing to sound a little too overprotective with his words.
'okay fine, but only for today' you replied, just to mess with him you placed a quick kiss on his cheek before walking away.
you turned slightly and called over your shoulder as you walked,
'don't worry about jake! my heart only belongs to you bellamy!' you teased, you knew you were messing with his head.
bellamy stood stunned from your actions and placed a hand lightly on the cheek you had kissed,
maybe he should be jealous more often.
