Thank you everyone for your follows and reviews - now have some fluff *throws glitter*
Clarke sat in the hospital car park gathering her nerve, she knew Bellamy would not turn her away but that didn't stop the butterflies in her stomach. She didn't even know if she was nervous, it was probably more a combination of nerves and excitement. Clarke has spent all day planning her surprise date for Bellamy, she had found out his favourite feel good movie, the type you watch when you are feeling sick to cheer you up.
She pulled down the sun visor to look in the mirror double checking her hair and makeup, Clarke had decided on just some mascara and lipstick, she was going to a hospital not a club she wanted to put in some effort without going overboard. She had decided to have her hair out in waves down her back.
Giving herself a nod of approval she opens the car door and brushes the wrinkles form the car ride out of her dress. She had opted for a cross back white sundress with a pale blue floral pattern; it was 50's style with a sweetheart neckline the flared at the waist flattering her figure.
She walked around the car and opened the passenger door grabbing the handle of the picnic basket she and Raven had prepared, they were both not very skilled in the kitchen but between them they had managed to come up with something. It was the thought that counts after all.
Raven had been so excited when Clarke told her of her plan to surprise Bellamy with a hospital date after teasing her relentlessly about it being over extremely overdue and if she didn't snap up that guy soon someone else would. They set about planning and cooking up a storm.
Clarke pulls the picnic basket out of the car, grabs her bag and shuts the car door. She locks the car before setting off into the hospital and making her way to Bellamys room. She stops just shy of his door straitening her shoulders the trill of seeing him again runs it way through her body. She walks to his door knocking, she hears his call telling her to come in and the butterflies come back tenfold. She opens the door and he is there sitting up in bed reading a book, he looks up at her and she beams, a smile breaks out on his face returning hers
"Hey Princess" he marks the page of his book and closes it
"Hey" she walks into the room and in the direction of the visitors' chairs
"I wasn't expecting to see you so soon" he comments
She places the basket on the spare chair and takes a seat in the chair closest to him
"I couldn't wait for you to get out of hospital, so I thought I would bring our date forward a little"
She opens the basket and pulls out a portable DVD player placing it on his bed followed by a dvd
"Dinner and a movie" She gestures to the basket smiling
He gestures towards the DVD and she hands it to him and he barks out a laugh "Batman and Robin? You have been talking to O"
"I may have had some help" she admits
"I enjoy a good pun, or a bad pun as the case may be" referencing the DVD "You cooked me dinner?"
Clarke blushes at the "It is nothing special"
"Well move over the table princess and let's see"
Clarke moves the portable table over his bed and starts unloading their dinner.
"So I am not very diverse in the kitchen so we just have some Spaghetti Bolognese, garlic bread and some salad"
She puts all the food on the table and starts serving it up for them
"It looks delicious, thank you Princess" He smiles up at her
Bellamy looks at the gorgeous women in front of him, serving up the dinner she had made him. She bought his favourite movie to watch when he needs a pick up and he really looks at her she was beautiful, he could not believe how he was able to ever meet a woman such as her, let along one so impatient to date him she made it happen herself, and in a hospital.
"Have I told you how beautiful you look today?" He asks her
She blushes and shakes her head; he grabs one of her hands making her look at him
"You look beautiful Clarke" he squeezes her hand before letting it go and turning his attention to the food
"Shall we eat?" he looks to her and she nods
They have general conversation while they eat Clarke telling him about her and Ravens adventures cooking for him and he in turn tells her about raising Octavia. They finish up their meal and Clarke packs everything back up into the basket. She sets up the DVD player on the Table pushing it further towards Bellamys feet. She puts in the DVD and pulls out a bag of popcorn form the basket.
"Can't watch a movie without popcorn" She smiles at him and settles into her chair, putting the bag of popcorn on the bed next to her. At this point the nurse comes in to check on him, she smiles at them and Clarke studies her fingernails while the nurse busies round the room. She dims the lights before she exits smiling knowingly at them before shutting the door behind her.
Clarke hits start on the movie and they settle into the respective seats as the movie starts. It is a little awkward as Clarke has to push the small screen so far away from them so they can both see the screen properly. It is not long before Bellamy shuffles over in his bed wincing slightly at the pain in his ribs at the movement
"Princess, can you sit up here with me?" he asks hesitantly
She looks at him and sees a quiet hope in his eyes she stands and moves the popcorn to the table, she carefully climbs onto the hospital bed next to him, she turns slightly towards him and he wraps an arm around her. She sits up and moves the table higher over the bed so they can see the screen better; she leans into his chest before looking up at him
"I'm not hurting you am I?"
"Not at all" He pulls her closer to him and she relaxes into him, she can feel him rubbing circles into her back while they watch the movie. She is relaxing more and more feeling his chest rise and fall as he breathes, they are about three quarters of the way through the movie when she feels his breathing even out and he had stopped rubbing her back. She looks up at him to see he had fallen to sleep.
She watches him as he sleeps not wanting to move from his embrace, she feels incredibly safe with him for some unknown reason. She knows it is very early for her to feel this way about someone and the last time she decided to move quickly with someone it all ended in ruin. She hears the music start over the end credits and it draws her attention back to the DVD. She moves to sit up to turn the DVD off but Bellamys hold tightens on her, She lets out a huff of amusement and looks at his face, he still appears to be asleep. She tries to sit up again and he tightens his hold again
"No" He mutters to her "No moving"
"Bell, I need to turn off the DVD"
His eyes open slightly at this and he releases his hold on her allowing her to sit up. She turns the DVD player off and pushes the table away from the bed giving them more room. She leans back into him and he curls his arm around her again.
He looks down to her "Thank you for moving our date up" he says quietly
"You're Welcome" She whispers back to him, glad that the room is still dark so it hides her blush
He starts bushing his fingers through her hair his eyes trailing over her face before meeting hers again
"I don't know if I could have waited any longer either" His eyes glance down to her lips before meeting her eyes again.
Clarke feels the rush of heat run through her, she looks to his lips before meeting his eyes also, his eyes are dark and intense and yet she can see the longing at the same time. He brings his other hand up and runs it down the side of her face from ear to chin before settling on her jaw, his eyes go to her lips again before meeting her eyes. Clarke cannot deal with this anymore, she leans up to him just as she leans down and they meet in a soft kiss.
Bellamy never imagined that he would have his first kiss with Clarke in his hospital bed; he had wanted to take her out and spoil her. Instead she had surprised him and proved to him that she wanted him just as much as he wanted her. It felt so right holding her in his arms, her small frame fitting perfectly into his side. He dosed off at some point, he tends to do that on the painkillers. He awoke to her trying to move away from him, he didn't want her to move, he didn't want to to leave he would be content if she would stay in his arms forever – Whoh! Where did that come from?
He watched her as she turned off the DVD player before settling back in his arms, she looked to beautiful and soft in his arms he traces the soft lines of her face before settling on her jaw. He has been switching between watching her lips and her eyes, when he sees hers do the same he takes the chance just as she does and he kisses her.
The kiss is soft, gentle with underlying passion. She shits slightly moving to settle on top of his chest and he groans in pain. His hand clutches at his ribs. She pulls back
"Did I hurt you?"
"I'm fine" He leans up and pecks her on the lips and sighs "We should have done that weeks ago"
She chuckles at him leaning up to place a lingering kiss on his lips "I agree"
She settles back onto the bed and his hand runs through her hair again
"I don't want to leave"
"I don't want you to leave"
She sighs lying on his chest, it is a comfortable silence they share his rhythmic bushing of her hair luring her into deeper sense on relaxation. She is almost asleep when there is a knock on the door and a nurse enters letting them know visiting hours finish in 10 minutes. They thank her before the nurse shuts the door again.
Clarke sighs looking up at him "I guess that's my queue"
He releases her and she sits up and gets off his bed, he shuffles back to the middle of it as she packs everything back into the picnic basket.
"I'll have to cook you dinner sometime" he tells her
"I'll hold you to that" she remarks over her shoulder
She turns to him having finished packing the basket; he grabs at her and pulls her back towards him
"When will I see you again?" he asks her
"Well you have my number now" she smiles at him "but I do have to work tomorrow so I don't know if I can come in"
"That's a shame" he comments running his fingers up her arm sending goosebumps over her skin.
She leans down and kisses him "I'll talk to you later?"
"Defiantly" he replies settling back into his bed
She picks up all of her things and looks at him he is watching her with warmth in his brown eyes "I'll see you soon"
"See you soon Princess"
She pecks him and walks to the door waving at him as she exits; she is beaming all the way back to her car. She gets in her car and pulls out her phone. There are a ton of texts from Raven and Octavia (who now knew what was going down) as well as some from Monty and Jasper. She ignores them all and starts her car. She can't help but thinking this thing between Bellamy and herself feel s like something really special.
