Planned All Along (A Bellarke Story)

Chapter 3

30 miles turned out to be more like an hour. Although Bellamy didn't completely mind, he was still cramped. At least the drive was beautiful. They finally pulled up to the resort. Of course, the crew was used to beach resorts living in California but this was completely different. It was so green it looked fake like it would on a postcard. There was a huge open window in the lobby and they could see the pool as well as the rest of the resort. While they waited for Monty and Harper to check the group in, he glanced over at Clarke sitting on one of the lobby couches. Her eyes filled with childlike wonderment as she took in the sights and smells in front of her. She was too amazed to even notice him staring at her. Monty came back and started talking breaking him from his focus on Clarke.

"Ok guys, we are on the South Side, girls have 5327 and 5329, boys, we have 5331 and 5333," Monty stated

Raven chimed in, "why two rooms each?"

Monty explained, "The suites are made up of two adjoining rooms"

"Oh, that makes sense" she replied

"Let's go guys!" he said, "Let's say when we get there, meet in half an hour for lunch?"

"Sounds good to me." Clarke and Bellamy said at the exact same time.

"Us too," Octavia said giving Raven a knowing look

They walked over to the building through winding greenery by ponds and pools. It was so cool!

Finally, they all reached their floor.

"Think you can handle your bag Princess?" he asked Clarke

"I'm sure I can Bell," she said with a laugh

They all split into their respective rooms. Monty wasn't kidding when he said suites; each room had a kitchen and a deck. It was way nicer than any hotel he'd ever stayed in.

Clarke studied herself in the huge bathroom mirror. She'd expected herself to look much worse, more tired. Maybe she had gotten more restful sleep on the plane than she thought. Bellamy was a good pillow. She shook it off. You're friends she told herself. He doesn't want you like that

"Clarke, are you done in there?" Octavia shouted from across the room, breaking Clarke from her thoughts

"Almost." She called back,

She ran a comb through her hair and threw on a little extra makeup.

When she was content she exited and told Octavia and Raven "All yours."

The three of them shared one room in the suite while Maya and Harper shared the other.

Clarke changed out of her airplane attire into jean shorts and a tank top. It was way hotter here than she was used to. At least Raven seemed to have packed the right stuff for her.

Soon enough it was time to meet the guys and finally get some much-needed food. From the doorway in between the two rooms, Clarke called "C'mon guys! Time to go!"

They all exited the suite finding Bellamy being the only one out there.

"They went to get the shuttle," he explained

After another, much shorter ride, they pulled into Lahaina, the town nearest to their resort. Half the group decided they'd rather have ice cream than food and so they took off in the opposite direction. This left Clarke, Bellamy, Octavia, and Raven. They soon found what they'd all been craving, burgers. They walked up to the top floor of Cheeseburger in Paradise and sat down to enjoy the food, and the view. They laughed and eat and chatted and stared at the scenery and hilarious décor. There was even a shark eating a burger hanging on the wall. Bellamy got a kick out of that one which she, of course, teased him about. Over time since they'd met their banter had changed from insulting to flirty teasing. When they finished they texted Monty about where to meet. Soon the group piled back into the shuttle and headed back to the resort.

Wick asked, "So, who wants to go to the beach?!"

"It's why we're here isn't it?" Raven replied excitedly

Once they got to the hotel, they disappeared into their rooms to change and sunscreen.

Clarke asked Raven "Hey, where'd you pack my swimsuits?"

"Under the dresses," she said

Clarke pulled one out. It was her blue bikini with small white polka dots. At least it's cute she thought, she didn't know what to expect with Raven packing for her

She threw it on with a pink cover-up over top and prepared to head down to the beach.
