UUUUPPPPPPDDDDDDAAAAAATTTTTTTEEEE! Fluff warning, by the way.
I had arrived back home in about 5 minutes, and untacked in record time, leaving Nova as I ran into the house and up the stairs, ignoring my father as he called my name. "Clarke?" He called as I ran into my room, slammed the door shut, and collapsed into the bed, crying into the pillow. "Clarke, honey, what's wrong?" My father came in, and sat down beside me, rubbing my back. "I don't want to talk about it.." I sniffled, and he sighed, and moved my hair out of my face. "Alright, but at least let me comfort you, okay?" He whispered, and I nodded, getting up onto my knees and hugging him, crying into his shoulder. "He kissed me.." I whispered, and Dad pushed me back, looking at me. "What was that?" He asked. "Bellamy.. He.. He kissed me.." I whispered, and wiped my nose. "Oh honey, that's what you're upset about?" He asked, and his face softened. He wasn't nearly as mad as I expected him to be. I nodded, and he laughed. He freaking laughed! "Why are you laughing?" I asked angrily. "Oh sweety, you're about as blind as I was when I was your age when it comes to feelings." He smiled at me. "What do you mean by that?" I leaned away from him some. "Honey, half the reason Bellamy took the job was because of you. Even as a kid he had feelings for you, but he didn't understand them at the time." He chuckled, as I wiped my cheeks. "You mean.." I stopped when he nodded. "And I have a feeling you feel the same." He grinned, and stood up. "I'll leave you alone now, to.. Contemplate.. Those feelings." He chuckled again, closing the door behind him as he left. I sighed and collapsed back onto the bed, and groaned into the pillow.
I rode back up to the barn, and dismounted, leading Chief into the barn. I glanced to Clarke's horse, and sighed. I took Chiefs saddle and bridle off, then put his halter on, leading him out to the field. I turned, looking up to see Jake walking my direction. I sighed, walking into the barn. "Well, Clarke was certainly torn up.." I heard Jake say. I took a deep breath, turning around, prepared to explain. "It's alright, I know everything." He said calmly, and I cringed. "Look sir, it was my fault, I shouldn't have kissed her." I replied, and he shook his head, smiling. "You're both blind as bats." Jake stated. I gave him a confused look. "You guys like each other, Lord all mighty!" He threw his arms up, walking out of the barn. I blinked. Clarke, feelings for me, feelings for her, what? In a numb state I continued with what had to be done, finishing with the stalls and providing food and water for the horses. I sighed, rubbing my face and sitting on a hay bale. "Hey.." I heard a soft voice, and looked up to see Clarke. I watched her as she walked over, sitting on the bale beside me. "Hey.." I replied, and a small smile touched her lips. "So... Uhm.. About earlier.." She said, and I tensed a little. "It was.. Nice.." She said, and I stared at her. "What?" She said, looking up at me. "That just uh.. Took me by surprise.." I responded, and she grinned a little. "It was just a little soon." She looked away now. She looked back up to me. "But, if we take it slow, I wouldn't mind it leading to.. More.." She stated bluntly, and I couldn't help the grin that spread across my face. I reached out, resting my palm against her cheek. She smiled, and leaned into my hand. I leaned down, and gave her a quick kiss, and her smile grew. "My father would make so much money at match making." She said, and I couldn't help but laugh. And Clarke laughed too. Then she leaned up, and gave me a kiss.
Jake the match maker ^.^ But I found this to be an amazingly amazing chapter to write, it made me so happeh. Hope you guys enjoyed!
