Clarity

Chapter 25

Once class was over Jasper and Monty quickly hurried off. Causing Bellamy to wonder what they were up to. Clarke was just happy to be alone with Bellamy.

“Come on were having lunch at my house today." Clarke told him.

She knew Jasper and Monty were off to break into where they grew all the illegal plant life. So they would not be waiting for her in the cafeteria. She knew that Wells would be there but that also meant Bellamy would have to spend more time with him and Shumway. She did not want to push her luck. It was obvious that they were not going to get along. At least not for now.

"Lead the way Princess." He told her.

She quickly glared at him but then dismissed it. She did not feel like yelling at him. At least not at the moment.

When they got back to Clarke's she quickly made her way into her kitchen. They only had an hour to eat so she wasted no time. She started on a salad while Bellamy checked the house to make shore there was no one lurking in a closet or something.

"I'm making a salad. Do you want some?" She called out to him.

A few seconds later he appeared back into the kitchen.

"Sure." He said. "Do you need any help?" He asked her.

"Making a salad. No I think I have it under control. Just go watch a movie or something." She told him.

He just smiled at her and walked over to the couch. He would never tell her but he secretly loved when she got bossy. He thought out was cute.

A few minutes later Clarke plopped down on the couch next to him and handed him a bowl full of salad, cucumbers, and little tomatoes. All things he was never used to eating so fresh.

She did not speak just started eating. He could not help but watch her with a smile as she factually eats her food. She felt his eyes on her before she saw them. She slowly turned to him and saw that Bellamy had not taken one bite.

"Hurry up and eat. We don't have much time."

"Yes princess." He answered then quickly dug into his own food.

They both finished a few minutes later. Clarke tried to take the bowl away from Bellamy to wash but he refused. Instead he grabbed hers.

"Let me." He said.

She had been kind enough to feed him twice. And Octavia even though she did not know it. The least he could do was wash to small bowls.

"If you insist. You are the boss." She responded.

"And don't you ever forget it." He told her before walking off to wash their lunch dishes.

            She watched him as he watched the dishes. He could be nice when he wanted to. Clarke could not help but wonder how many people get to see this side of him. She suddenly became aware that they were alone together. She wanted to go over and kiss him. She was almost positive that if she did he would not fight her. Then she felt guilty knowing that that was not what he would want. He needed this job. She could not mess this up for him. He would be the one who would get into trouble not her. Thankfully she did not have to think about it much longer because it was time to go.

            “Are you done?” Clarke asked.

            “Yes.” He said as he placed them back in the cabinet where Clarke had got them from.

            Clarke went to open the door but Bellamy got it for her.

            “After you Princess.” He told her.
