The Heart of the Jungle - James McVey - I'm A Celebrity 2018 Fanfic

The Jungle Arms

I throw down seven stars onto the jungle floor; the relief washes over me. "It was so hard down there but so worth it."

"Well we won't make you stick around," Dec applauds. "We'll let you go back to camp and tell everyone the good news."

"They're back!" A feminine voice belts over the camp. "How did you do?"

"We got 7!" I sprint up to my best friend with frizzy hair and jump into her arms. "Sorry if I smell gross."

"So what happened?"

"Well," John explains the entirety of the trial - his role in the chamber and mine in the tunnels.

"There were spiders and green ants and eels and rats." My hands are still trembling from the adrenaline rush. "But god, I need to shower now."

"I'll come with you," James says eagerly, plodding up beside me. His arm laces around my waist. "I want some time with my girl."

James and I head to the showers, strip down into our bathing suits, and get ready to step under the rushing waterfall, falling from the rocks above.

"Is it cold?"

"No." James cackles. "Come on, get under."

"No James!"

His hand attaches to my arm and pulls me in towards him. The freezing water spills over my skin, making me shiver as a drug would. "It's so cold!" I squeal, being tugged into my boyfriend's arms.

"Don't be a baby," He chuckles. "...Come here."

Still stood under the rushing water, James lightly takes my chin and turns my face up to look at him, bombarding his lips into mine. It's soft, sumptuous - he really does make me feel like a princess.

The evening ...

After a lovely meal of redfish, Anne trots back from the telegraph with a laminate. "Celebrities! Tonight, you will have a chance to win a night at the Jungle Arms!"

"Oh my god!" I squeal, rolling out of my hammock and plummeting to the jungle floor. "Oh, sugar."

"You ok, Em?" Fleur chortles, running over and pulling me up from the dirty ground."I'm so excited!"

Watching the programme since I was little, the Jungle Arms has always been one of the highlights of the jungle - after the Celebrity Cyclone of course! "But it says 'win a chance'." Harry scratches his head.

"Shush Harry!" John hushes him. "Come on. Let's go!" I grab my water bottle, ready to fight for my place in the jungle pub.

At the challenge ...

"What the hell," Emily squeals. I piggybacked my blonde bestie to the clearing - it was difficult, but a bloody good laugh. "What is this?"

In front of us is what looks like the queue to a club in London. "Oh, here we go," John spots a laminate on the post. "Celebrities. This is the queue into the Jungle Arms. You must wait in line for your turn at a chance to enter the pub. On the ding, the person at the front of the line will get the chance to answer a general knowledge question. If they answer correctly, they can enter the Jungle Arms. If not, they must join the back of the line and wait for their turn again."

"So Anne is first," James scoffs, remembering shes some sort of superhuman when it comes to intelligence. "Definitely."

We all arrange ourselves in an order - Anne at the start and John at the back. I take a place in between Fleur and James, hugging onto James' arm. "Oh my god, I'm scared."
