Clarity

Chapter Twenty

When the two of them got back to Clarkes place she quickly slammed the door shut behind them. She did not care if she was being loud. She knew her mom would be working late today and her dad would not be home for a few more hours.

It was easy to see that Clarke was angry but Bellamy had decided on the way here he was not going to back down. She had to realize eventually that she has to listen to him. It’s the only way he can keep her safe. Backing down from her even for the little things would only come back to bight him in the ass latter when it actually matters.

“You seem angry.” He stated.

“Yes. I am.” She answered him.

“Why don’t you tell me what’s wrong.” He joked with her.

She looked at him with so much anger in his eyes that Bellamy was shore she was going to kill him.

“This is not a joke. I told you not to call me that.  I told you why I don’t like it but you did it again.” She snapped at him.

He listened to what she had told him and he understood but she was out of her mind. She was the definition of a Princess. It was crazy that she could not see that.

“Look I am not going to apologies because I meant it. You’re a Princess.” He told her.

He could tell she was about to yell at him again but he stopped her before she could.

“Just listen then you can yell at me all you want.” He told her.

She stayed quiet so Bellamy continued.

“I called you Princess because that’s what you are. All of those people who used it to insult you are idiots. A Princess is not a bad thing. A Princess is a person who is privileged like you. Even though you could take the easy road and just sit back and relax you don’t. You put your everyone’s else’s needs and wellbeing above yours. Just like you did with that little girl at the party and in the infirmary. That’s the definition of a Princess. That’s what you are.” He told her. “So that’s what I am going to call you.” He told her with a smirk.

She wanted to be mad at him but it was really hard when he was looking at her like that. She wanted to feel his lips on hers again but knew it was impossible. He did not know it was her.

“If people here you calling me that there going to think you’re mocking me. Then others will start as well.” She told him.

Her voice filled with sadness. Even though she was not backing down her voice was not as strong as it was moments before.

“We can’t have that now can we?” He asked her.

She just looked back at him, hoping he would back down but one thing she did not yet know about Bellamy Blake was he was just as stubborn as her.

“I will only call Princess when no one is around. If I hear it from anyone who is insulting you I could always arrest them for harassment.” He joked with her.

He got the reaction he wanted out of her when she smiled at him.

“Yeah that would really make people like me more. Having their family members floated for calling me a name.” She responded.

“Well not all Princesses are kind, some become evil Queens.” He told her.

“Not funny.” She responded.

“So do we have a deal?” He asked her.

“We will see.” She responded as she walked over to her kitchen and started cooking.
