Newt's POV

Thomas left a couple of minutes after he heard all that I felt that I was comfortable with telling him. He left quietly, leaving only the bit of food that he was able to bring back and a blanket. It was almost completely dark by now all most all of the Gladers would of been settled in by now and it would of been about the time that I would of taken my walk over to Callista's house.

Flashback

She had been here for about roughly three month, one month since the accident. She has held up pretty efficiently, not really attacking any of the guys. She slowly started to get acclimated into the Glade again, working slowly in the Gardens with me or helping out in the kitchen for dinners and food for the Runner.

And I think that she was able enough to trust me, seeing as she liked me enough to be around me for most of the day, what was a couple more minutes just to really make sure that she was really okay. So I managed to find a couple little handfuls of flowers, you know, to make her place look nicer. So after dinner, I bulked up a little bit of courage and walked into the forest. I put the flowers behind my back and rapped my knuckles against the door.

"Oh give me a second. I guess you boys go to be later than girls. Oh hey Newt, that's up? Long time, no see."

"Yeah, I just come by to make sure that you were still okay and not just putting on an act for all of us. Cause we will all understand if you don't want to be around us because of what happened and you needed some more time alone."

"Trust me, I'm doing good. If I wasn't then I would definitely be holed up in this a lot more often. And thanks to all of the Builders, mostly Gally because as I heard he took leader in building this."

"Well, I just wanna say that he built it, but it was my idea. Just saying."

"Well, thank you for taking it into consideration my privacy Mister One Upper."

"Yeah, I guess that is a little rude of me to say. It wasn't supposed to come out like that. I'm sorry for sounding like a bloody prick."

"It's a good thing that accent made what you just say cute."

"You think that my accent is cute?"

"It is a lot better than some of the slang that we have going on with some of the guys. I mean I know that you use it as well, but you seem slightly decent with it."

"Well it has always been a dream of mine to have a lady say that I sounded slightly decent while saying slang."

"Now I'm the one with a foot in my mouth, do you wanna come in or something? Cause I don't know if you were expecting a full blown conversation out of me tonight."

"No, I don't think that coming in would be entirely inappropriate. I just have one more thing. I thought that this could bring a little life to you place until you might be comfortable with moving back closer to all of us." My hands were slightly shaking as I pulled the flowers from out behind my back and I hoped to the Creators that she hadn't seen me shaking.

"Newt, these are lovely. How did you get these?"

"Umm, some of the patches of ivy are starting to sprout them, now I know that they aren't the flashest or the most grand of flowers, whatever that may be, but I thought that it they could help."

"I remember slightly that a man used to give a women flowers a sign of affection, is this what that is all about? Does Newt think that I, Callista, am attractive?"

"What no of course not. Well not in that way. See you are a very good looking girl, don't get me wrong. And any guy here would be nuts if he thought otherwise.."

"Rabbling now, are we? Are sure that you don't have a crush on me?"

I took a moment before carefully saying my next words.

"I'm not entirely sure. And I know that it is inconsiderate to tell you that because you might like someone else here and that would be awfully… Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Really, you don't see it. I thought that I was basically laying it out on the table for you and all to see."

"See what!?" What in the bloody klunk was she talking about.

"Let me show you further." She took one step towards me and before I could figure it out, she was pressing her lips against mine. Why was she kissing me!?

Holy klunk! She was kissing me!

It took me a couple of seconds afterward to regain myself

"Think they should've sent up glasses a while ago because apparently I'm blind as a bloody bat."

"I agree with you on that."

"Do you want them all to know? Are you ready for all of them to know about us?"

"Not just yet, maybe in a little while. Like a little after everything is back to normal."

"Anything you want dearest."

"And it was so such a shame, we only had a few weeks together with everybody knowing what was going between the two of us. But in the weeks that they did, Callista you had made me one of the happiest boy that this Glade has ever seen.
