"Ah, come on Princess, you know you want me." Duncan said as he smirked over at the fuming C.I.T.
"Whatever Duncan, only in your dreams!" Courtney yelled back turning around trying to ignore the so called 'ogre'.
They were currently in the woods doing one of Chris's challenges. The two teams had to stay the night in the woods and the first team back to the camp wins.
Courtney and Duncan were setting up the tent that they had to share together. Chris thought splitting up the team up more would get more ratings.
The former C.I.T was fuming at the idea then and still is now. She didn't want to share a tent with that ogre. Who knows what he would do to her. She went back to pulling the pole through the wiring.
They already had dinner, which consisted of fish and a can of beans. Which the both of them didn't really eat. They didn't trust any of the food around here.
"So, are we done yet Princess?" Duncan asked while leaning against a tree clearly ready for some rest.
She didn't blame him, they were hiking through the woods all day and got lost; twice and chased by a bear, peachy right?
"Yes ogre, we're done." She said grabbing her bag and heading inside the tent.
Duncan followed but was stopped by Courtney's head popping out of the opening with a stern look on her face.
"What?"
"You can't come in yet, I'm changing." She said as he grinned.
"All the more reason for me to come in darling." He said with a smirk causing Courtney to blush.
"UGH!!!!" The brunette screamed as she quickly went back in and zipped up the tent. That boy was unbelievable! He was so immature and bad and rebellious.
She couldn't fall for a boy like that. Though, she thought that badness was quiet hot. She shook her head trying to get the thought out of her head.
"No! Bad Courtney!" She said as she pulled her pajama shirt over her head. She continued to mumble to herself about how immature and horrible Duncan was but, in the back of her mind there was that felling of need.
She needed him.
"Can I come in yet Princess?" Duncan said from outside of the tent.
"Yeah."
She unzipped the tent to let him in. It was already dark outside and they needed their rest. As much as Courtney hated this idea, she had to let him in.
She didn't pay attention when Duncan entered the tent; she was putting her cloths away neatly in her little bag that Chris gave everyone.
As she turned around, she screamed. Duncan was in his boxers. She started to blush from the sight. She couldn't help it. Duncan saw this and started to smirk.
"Like what you see Princess?" The criminal said as he lay down on his sleeping bag and pulled a sheet over himself clearly ready for some sleep.
"N-no! You just surprised me that's all. Ugh! Stupid ogre!" She semi-yelled as she lay down too and pulled the sheets over herself angrily.
Duncan chuckled at Courtney's actions. "Sure Princess, whatever you say. Goodnight Princess." Duncan said as he turned over on his side and quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Courtney sighed as she looked over at Duncan. She didn't know how long she could keep this up. She was falling for him. Maybe some sleep was what she needed.
She snuggled into her sleeping bag as she too went off into a deep sleep.
A few hours later…
A storm was blowing though the area the campers were at. Courtney was wide awake. When the thunder and lightning started, she woke up instantly.
She hated storms. They scared her bad, out of all the things in this world she had to be scared of storms. Her parents used to tell her to get over it. They never let her sleep in their bed to feel safe when she was little.
Just to get over it. That was wonderful parenting wasn't it? Even now, Courtney is still terrified off storms. She doesn't know why.
She started to whimper as the thunder and lightning stared to get worse along with the howling wind.
Duncan shifted and grunted as he laid up and looked over at Courtney who was in the corner of the tent with a blanket wrapped around her with tears going down her face.
Duncan got worried instantly. Even though she was a nagging girl who wanted everything her way, he still really liked her. He'll go as far as to say he loved her, which he did.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Courtney who didn't notice he woke up gasped as she tried to move into the corner even more. She didn't want him to see her like this.
Duncan crawled over to her. He needed to find out what was making his Princess cry. He sat in front of her so she couldn't get out. So she had to tell him.
Duncan gently grabbed her shoulder and turned her tear stained face towards his. "Please Courtney, what's wrong?" He asked seriously. She knew he never used her real name only when he was serious about something. She sighed as she looked at him again.
"The storm."
"What about the storm?" He asked gently.
"I'm scared of it, the thunder and lightning." She said quietly.
Courtney was waiting for some smartass comment or something Duncan would do but, instead she felt arms wrap around her. Her eyes went wide as Duncan hugged her. She hugged him tighter was another wave of thunder and lightning started.
Duncan smiled gently as he placed his Princess in his lap. Courtney was still clinging to him shaking. She really was scared. He needed to calm her down.
He pulled her back from him and looked into her eyes. He started stroking her hair gently as tears continued to fall down her cheeks.
"The storms not going to hurt you Princess."
"I know." She said quietly.
"Then why are you scared of them?"
"Just being alone during them."
"Your not alone Princess."
Courtney looked up at him confused. Trying to figure out what he was talked about. Duncan lightly grinned as he bent his down to her face and gently kissed her lips.
"I'm here Princess." He said holding her close as he felt her relax into his touch.
Courtney wrapped her arms around Duncan as she gave him a hug. "Thank you Duncan." She said as she snuggled up to him.
Duncan returned the hug. "Anytime Princess, how about we get a few more hours of sleep?"
He felt Courtney nod as he smiled. He liked this side of her, the loving and sensitive side.
He broke the hug and placed Courtney on the tents ground as he went back to his sleeping bag and crawled back in.
Courtney didn't know what to do. She just stayed in the same place. Duncan looked over at her and smiled.
"What're you waiting for Princess, get in." He said as he opened the flap of his sleeping bag waiting for her to get in.
She was about to yell at him that was until another wave of thunder and lightning struck. She quickly crawled over to the sleeping bag and snuggled in with Duncan.
She tried to get as close to him as possible as the thunder and lightning got worse. He wrapped his arms around her which calmed her down instantly.
He pulled her to him as he kissed her forehead.
"Remember that I'm here princess."
"I always will Duncan."
"Duncan?"
"Yes Princess?"
"Hold me more." Duncan smiled down at his Princess as he did do what she asked for once.
"Princess?"
"Yeah?"
"Kiss me?"
Courtney smiled as she nodded. They pulled back and looked into each other's eyes. Yeah, this is what they wanted. They needed each other, and they found each other thanks to the storm.
They slowly started inching towards each other; they could feel the others hot breath on them as they came closer. Duncan couldn't take it anymore; he pulled her right into his awaiting lips.
Courtney was surprised at first but slowly closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around Duncan bringing him closer to her as the kiss went deeper and more meaningful.
As they broke the kiss, they looked at each other and smiled.
"Courtney."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you." He said as she snuggled up to him.
"Anytime ogre, anytime." She said as he chuckled.
He kissed her on the forehead as she snuggled up to him more. They both fell into a deep sleep by each other's side. As the storm continued, Courtney knew that someone was always going to be there for her and that person was the guy she was snuggling up to right now.
They finally found each other and all they needed was a storm to bring them closer than ever.
