Chapter 10 - Feelings Revealed

Over the next few days, I noticed that George was spending a lot of time with Minho. That worried me. If they were planning something it probably involved me and Newt.

Newt had continued to talk to me but it was getting a little more awkward. I could barely talk to him without blushing. He wasn't much better.

The day before the new greenie arrived I got locked in the map room. Newt came in and before I could run out the bloody door slammed shut.

"Bloody hell Minho! Let me out you bloody shank. George, I swear that when I get out you'll regret it ya bloody slinthead!"

George and Minho could be heard laughing. "Not until you tell Newt!" George shouted. I swore I heard Minho say my name instead of Newt's but I must have imagined it.

I shook my head and glared at the locked door before turning around to find a place to sitting down, cursing them the whole way.

Newt ignored me until he finished his map. "What are those shanks pulling now?" I didn't answer. "What did George mean when he said tell me?" I didn't notice the blush that slowly spread across Newt's cheeks.

I didn't meet his eye or answer.

"Sky, whatever you have to say it might get us out of here before Alby comes and breaks us out."

I shuddered at the image. Alby would not be pleased if it resorted to that. "Fine...Ikindasortalikeyou." I had said it all very quietly and very fast.

Newt still looked confused. There was a spark of mirth when he asked me to repeat myself. "Say that again please?"

I huffed, "when I get out of this Minho and George are so dead." I muttered.

Newt was still waiting for an answer.

"Fine. I bloody like you. There, I said it. Now you can let me out, George! You got what you wanted! I knew..."

My rant to a closed door was cut off by Newt. He had pressed his lips to mine. Finally, my brain registered what was happening and before he could pull away I kissed him back.

My hands moved to play with his messy hair while his hands were planted on my waist, pulling me closer.

We broke apart when oxygen became necessary. I was probably as red as a tomato but I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat. Newt's smile matched mine. "I like you too Sky." He ran a hand through his messy hair due to habit. "I told Minho last month. I think it's why he was teasing us so much."

I laughed, glad to finally have my feelings out in the open. "I'm glad you feel the same way. I told George last week."

We smiled at the other before Newt spoke, "so... Sky, would you gladly accompany me on a date in the woods later this week?"

I giggled at the formality. "It would be my pleasure kind, sir." I curtsied for effect. Newt laughed.

I closed the gap between us without thinking. Our lips met as I kissed him. He returned the kiss before we were forced to break apart by a voice from behind us.

"Told ya Sky. He likes you.." George laughed before turning to his partner in crime. "Minho, our plan worked better than expected."

I blushed but glared at the relaxed figures leaning on the door. "If you know what's good for ya, you'll start running." George took my warning seriously while Minho stood there smirking, "whatcha ya gonna do ta me girlie?"

I smiled evilly. "I'll give you till the count of three. 1...2..." Minho got the hint when I hit two.

I turned toward Newt, a sparkle in my blue eyes. "I hope you enjoy having one less friend by tomorrow." I kissed him on the cheek before running off to find George and Minho.

...

I found George easily, he was hiding by the homestead. Once I caught him I tickled him till he was begging for mercy. Minho was a little harder to track down but I found him. He had been hiding in the forest. I jumped down from my hiding place and scared the living daylights outta him. It was hilarious. He chased me after that but he never caught me. Alby stopped our fun halfway and we trudged to dinner.

...

The next two months were a blur of happiness. Newt and I enjoyed our first date while we continued to grow as a couple.

Our new status had only held for a day at most before everyone knew.

We spent all the time we could together. I especially loved when we watched the sunrise.

Newt surprised me by saying that he loved me after only a month together. I startled him by saying it back.

I had come to realize that within the first week of dating I truly loved him. He was so understanding and willing to listen, he always made me laugh when I was sad. I hated being away from him, especially since I ran the maze and every day could be my last.

I now knew he felt the same way.

Now, I know sorta rushed the relationship so if you want you can leave an idea to show their relationship better and I'll think about putting it on the story.

I also don't like how I rushed the 'I love yous' but the plot didn't work any other way. Usually, I'm against such fast paced love stories but my excuse is that Newt and Sky have known each other before (WICKED can't take away feelings) and the fact that they have been friends for a few months now at least.

I'm just not great at writing romantic scenes. At least I don't think I'm good. I haven't really tried.

Enough of me...please review:)
