So I thought I'd start the story of the modern Bellarke I want to write. It is set on a ranch, Clarke lives with her father, who wants to hire a ranch hand, better known as Bellamy. To say they clash will be an understatement :3 (They are in Tennessee.)
I had been driving for hours. This traffic SUCKED, not to mention my truck took a lot of fuel. Same goes for me too. I looked at my GPS on the dash board, and I was about an hour away from where I needed to be. Ark Acres (Stupid name I know.) was looking for a ranch hand, and who better to be said ranch hand, then Bellamy Blake? Jake Griffin had called me earlier in the month about the job, and seeing as me and his daughter were friends as kids, he thought it was better than hiring a total stranger. It had been a long time since I left Tennessee, and not much has changed. I pulled off he highway with a sigh. Might as well stop for some food and gas, right?
I was in the barn when I heard gravel crunching, brushing down my horse. She was a palomino paint, measuring about 15.2-16 hands at the withers. "Hang on Nova." I muttered, patting her shoulder as I walked to the front of the barn. I was wearing my usual, boot-cut jeans, worn and faded, my square toed boots, and a grey tank top with blue, unbuttoned flannel over it, the sleeves rolled up. I stepped out of the barn as I spotted a big red Ford F250 pulling down the driveway. "Dad!" I yelled, jogging across the yard to the house. Jake came out of the house, the screen door banging shut behind him. "Oh, the new ranch hand is here." He smiled. "New ranch hand?" I gaped at him, the truck pulling to a stop in front of the house. "Where do you expect him to sleep, huh?" I crossed my arms, glaring at my father. "In the spare room, Clarke." He gave me a look, meaning to drop it, and get over it. "Long time no see, Princess." I froze, I knew that voice. I whirled around, staring at Bellamy as he climbed out of his truck. "No! Dad?!" I turned to face him again. "It's better than hiring a total stranger, Clarke." He said pointedly. "I'd be happier with a stranger." I huffed, practically running off the porch and back to the barn.
I pulled into the ranch, and spotted Clarke running across the yard. I grinned. Last time I saw her she was all pigtails and pink ribbon, now her hair is loose and she looks.. Grown up. I pulled to a stop, opening the door to hear the yelling. Well, seems Princess wasn't to happy with the arrangement. "Long time no see, Princess." I grinned at her, and she whirled around to face me. "No! Dad?!" She turned to face her father, and he gave her that "Better than hiring a total stranger" stuff, which, in turn, was true. She had huffed and ran off the porch and back to the barn. "Well, who says reunions have to be sweet, right?" I asked, hopping out of the truck and closing the door. "Absolutely right." Jake laughed, grabbing my hand to shake it. "It's been a long time Bellamy." I nodded. "Yes sir it has." Jake grinned, patting me on the shoulder as we walked to the barn. Oh, this was going to be fun. Especially with Clarke around..
So? What do you think? Is it good? I personally like it, and it'll probably be a few chapters before they hook up. (With how much I like these two though, probably sooner.) Drop a review in the comments!
