Chapter 11
The next morning I woke up to people talking around me which was becoming a daily routine nowadays.
"But you look so cute!" A boy, Minho was whisper squealing from across the room
I kept my eyes closed and listened to the conversation going on to see who else was in the room.
"Just go Minho," Newt said from next to me, as he talked his chest rumbled and I felt it where I lay next to him.
Without opening my eyes or moving around too much I was able to distinguish we were lying next to each other, me with my head on Newt's bare chest and him with his arms draped around my waist. Our hands were intertwined on the covers of the bed and underneath them our legs where a mix of limbs like usual. I was surprised Newt was awake for once since I was usually the one that woke up first.
"I'll let her sleep." Newt said before I felt him shift his weight as he started getting out of the bed.
Without realising I was doing it until afterwards, I started groaning in protest and moved my body to curl around him to bring us closer, snaking my arms around his waist and putting my head in the crook of his neck.
I heard and felt him chuckle from next to me while Minho barked out a laugh at my actions but I ignored him and sighed deeply as a relished in the warmth Newt's body gave off.
"I'll come back for you later then lover boy." Minho chuckled as I heard his footsteps as he left the room
"Is he gone?" I whispered and raised my head to look at Newt who was smiling down at me with a faint redness in his cheeks
"Yup. You were awake the whole bloody time weren't you?" He chuckled
I shrugged my shoulders and gave him a mischievous grin as I sat up and rested my back on the wall behind us with my legs still under the covers of the bed. Newt followed suit so we were both sitting up, shoulder to shoulder as he traced patterns on the back of my hand.
"Low, what are we?" Newt asked after some silence
I thought about it for a moment, wondering the same question myself "Whatever you want us to be." I said as I looked over to him, inclining my head slightly because of the height difference.
"I don't want you with any other shuck faced boy here. Call me selfish but I want you all to my bloody self." He said
I leaned over and kissed his jaw lightly making his eyes widen and his face flush red.
"I can do that." I whispered to him as he looked down at me with a smile on his face while he chewed on his bottom lip as if deep in thought or nervous about something.
"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked and I immediately nodded my head and kissed his lips gently before pulling back and smiling at him.
"You didn't even have to ask." I said
He smiled before a mischievous glint in his eye appear that had me both anxious and excited. He snaked an arm around my waist before he pulled me down so I was lying on the bed and then he rolled on top of me, holding his weight off of me with his forearms which were on either side of my head. I squeaked in surprise and my eyes widened as his lips came crashing onto my own but I easily kissed him back and felt his lips tug into a smile as I did so.
We were kissing for what felt like a millennium before I had to break apart from him so that I could breath but Newt didn't stop. As soon as our lips disconnected his lips moved onto my neck where he sucked and bit down gently to which I had to stifle a moan with my hand so as not to embarrass myself. Apparently he noticed this because I felt him smirk into my neck which I rolled my eyes at before bringing his face back to my own so I could kiss him again. This time I couldn't help the moan that slipped out of my mouth as he gently nibbled and licked my bottom lip asking for entrance which he used to his advantage and slipped his tongue into my mouth.
My hands were in his hair and I tugged on it as another moan slipped through my lips, making him smirk again while we kissed but I didn't pay much attention as I was too absorbed in everything Newt. His hands started gripping my hips and he had one leg in between the two of mine so I decided to tease him like he did to me with his kisses. I used one of my hands to pull him closer towards me by his shoulder and smiled as he started kissing the corners of my mouth and left trails of kisses down my neck until he started sucking on the skin again. As he was absorbed in my neck he didn't notice me slowly bringing my knee up so I was able to gently brush against his ... man hood without him noticing until the friction happened and it was clear when he did notice because he stopped moving altogether and his head fell to the crook of my neck as he groaned.
I giggled at this and continued doing it until I felt like he had been teased enough and then I slipped out from under him and kissed his cheek before skipping out of the room while he was stunned, lying on the bed with a small problem where he had gotten too excited if you know what I mean. I giggled as he groaned and shouted my name along with a variety of swears to go along with it.
I passed a lot of gladers who all gave me curious looks but I brushed them off and continued my way towards the kitchen in hope of getting some last minute breakfast from Frypan since I understood it was a few hours since everyone else had woken up. When he saw me he just shook his head with a smile on his face and handed me a plate of pancakes which I gratefully accepted and in return I told him I would help him cook during the day if he needed any help.
I ate alone at an empty picnic table and thought about what I had just done with Newt. I didn't know where our sudden confidence had come from, not that I'm complaining because I thoroughly enjoyed the endeavour. A smile made an appearance on my face as I thought of the state I had left him in and it only seemed to grow when I watched him walk into the kitchen ten minutes later looking flustered with messy hair and his top on backwards.
I saw him approach Frypan but walk away empty handed so I called him over to me and shoved the plate of pancakes in his direction since I had only eaten one as I wasn't that hungry. He gave me a fake scowl before he grabbed at the plate and started stuffing his face with the delicious food.
"Your mean." He huffed with his face full of food "I know." I giggled
We talked a bit about random things much like the night before but we avoided all topics about our relationship in public which I thought was s good idea, especially if Minho found out. "Your t-shirts on backwards by the way." I said as I stood up after finishing my breakfast.
I walked away from Newt to go find Alby to see what jobs I would be doing that day. When I spotted him he was talking with Winston near the Bloodhouse so I quickly approached the two of them but they stopped their conversation as soon as I was close to them. I ignored the silence they had created and asked Alby what job I would be doing for the day as soon as I had approached him.
"Newt told me what job you wanted to do and Clint said you were really good yesterday so you can be a Med-Jack now." He said
I smiled at him and skipped towards the homestead with a grin on my face the entire time. When I got there Jeff was helping a slicer who had cut his hand while Clint was bandaging some other boys leg. When I walked in both boys turned to look at me and smiled before going back to work on their patients so I just sat quietly in the corner while nobody else needed helping. After both boys who had been in need of medical attention were sorted and left the room, Clint and Jeff both turned to me and asked what I needed.
"I'm gonna be a Med-jack now!" I squealed
Jeff was the first to react and ran over to me, grabbed both my hands and started jumping in circles, dragging me along with him in the process.
"Yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay yay!" He shouted while we jumped and I laughed at his childish behaviour.
Clint on the other hand just smiled and patted me on the back once we had ol jumping around. I was put to work almost immediately, almost as soon as the boys had finished congratulating me, a boy I hadn't noticed before walked in with a huge gash on the bottom of his leg. Jeff helped him over to a bed so he could sit down while Clint told me to grab supplies. I grabbed what I thought would be needed and handed them over, watching as Clint cleaned the cut and then prepared the leg for stitched with a sticky substance from a tube, probably numbing cream. The stitches only took half an hour and in that time two more boys walked into the homestead needing medical attention.
Jeff took one boy while I took the other and we started walking on our patients. The boy I was treating had longish dark hair and green eyes, his injury was from not paying attention while preparing an animal for Frypan and he had cut the palm of his hand. It wasn't a deep cut and didn't need stitches so I cleaned the wound and wrapped it in a bandage before sending the boy off. I was done with that boy in less than ten minutes and when I looked back Jeff was already done with his own so we began talking while Clint finished off the first boys leg.
By lunch time I had helped four out of ten boys who had came into the homestead in need of our help. Clint and Jeff took three each and I could tell by there expressions every time a new boy would walk in that the amount of injuries the boys were having was not normal. Clint let me and Jeff off early for lunch and said he would get his early so someone would always be there if someone was in need of help.
Frypan gave us each a ham sandwich and then we went to sit with a few other gladers at a picnic table. All of the boys we talked with were really nice and none of them treated me like I was different because I was a girl which I was very happy about. Chuck joined us just as I was finishing my lunch and we talked for a while before I went back to the homestead so Clint could get his lunch. When I got there Clint told me that no boys had came to see him while me and Jeff were away so it should be a quiet afternoon.
I was happy to hear this so I pondered around the homestead while it was vacant, the only people I had to treat where the boys who couldn't feed themselves because of serious injuries. One boy had been unconscious for three days so I had to feed him some soup that Frypan had made which is all he could really eat. I wondered if the boys had to do that with me while I had been in a coma.
Nobody else came into the homestead for the rest of the day so when Clint returned all we really did was talk for hours without doing much else. Jeff and me started playing some games while we waited but they were really weird like who could guess the amount of bugs on the floor or my personal favourite who could hold their breath the longest without passing out. I won that one and Jeff was out cold for two minutes until Clint poured a bucket of water on him.
"Third time this week." He answered my unasked question when he saw the curious expression on my face
I left the homestead shortly after that since the sky was darkening and the rest of the gladers were all packing up for the day.
"You going to the bonfire tonight, cupcake?" Jeff asked as we walked out into the Glade with his arm casually draped over my shoulder
"Yeah I think I will."
