Planned All Along (A Bellarke Story)

Chapter 5

(C)

After a while, the group decided to leave the beach.

Outside their rooms, Monty began to talk, "Ok guys, I think we should hit the hay, it's been a long day and we have a fun packed one planned for tomorrow".

"What are we doing?" Raven inquired.

"Zip lining!" Monty replied.

"Sounds awesome!" Wick said.

Monty continued "Yeah! But we have to be there at 9:00 so we should all head to bed".

"Good point and we all need to eat first" Clarke added "goodnight guys," she said as her eyes flicked towards Bellamy.

"Yeah sleep well everyone" Bellamy replied directed only at her.

They all disappeared into their respective rooms.

Clarke was happy and tired after just finishing the zip lines. The experience was so fun and thrilling.

Bellamy walked up to her, "that was awesome!" he said grinning.

He removed his helmet and shook out his adorable brown curls.

"Don't you think?" he asked.

"Oh right! Yeah, it was great!" she said bringing herself back into reality.

He stepped closer, "You know what the best part of it was?" he said into her ear "you".

Clarke grinned, she turned her face to meet his as their lips met in the middle.

Suddenly he was gone and there was just a loud beeping noise.

Clarke awoke to the sound of her alarm at 7:00. She was an early bird and liked to be up before everyone else. Damn it, she thought. Her dream had felt so real. Like Bellamy was actually there.

She tried to brush it off as she slipped on her zip lining clothes, twisted her hair into a braid and headed down to the breakfast area.

She was surprised to find Bellamy already down there. She felt her cheeks turn pink at the sight of him, thinking back to her dream this morning. He, however, didn't seem to notice anything so she pretended everything was completely normal.

"Early riser huh?" she asked him.

"Yeah, I like quiet time in the mornings" he replied.

"Me too, a break before all the hustle and bustle," she said with a sigh.

"Ready to zip line?" he asked.

"Yeah, it sounds fun and I'm sure the views will be phenomenal"

They continued to talk and eat and didn't even realize the time until the rest of their friends showed up.

Soon they all piled into the shuttle to be taken up to the Kapalua zip lines.

The zip line place was amazing. First, they all walked a suspension bridge where you could see all the way to the ocean. It was unlike anything Clarke had ever seen. There were 7 zip lines in total and they were all two-person. As the rest of the group was coupled up, that left Bellamy and Clarke. This, of course, she didn't mind however she would never admit it. As they walked up to the first one, Bellamy seemed pretty fidgety.

"Hey, is something wrong Bell?" she prodded.

"No, why would anything be wrong?" he said with a definite fear in his voice.

Clarke had a realization, "Are you afraid of heights or something?" she asked quietly.

"Or something" he grumbled.

"Hey, it's okay, I'll be there the whole time. If you ever get scared just look at me and I'll calm you down," she said slipping her hand into his. It was for comfort she told herself, not romance.

He looked down at his and Clarke's locked hands. It did make him feel better.

They stepped up to the first gate together. As they waited for the all clear he felt the fear begin to creep in again.

"Hey, look at me," she told him.

He did, looking deep into her eyes.

"Together," she said.

"Together" he replied.

Then they were off, even though he was scared out of his wits, he had to admit the feeling was pretty fun.

He and Clarke took every zip line together with her having this magical way to calm him down. When they were finished he walked up to her.

"Thank you, Clarke," he said hugging her, "I don't think I could have done it without you".

"We're always better together Bell," she said softly making his heart jump in a way he didn't want it to.
