The Beach House
It was June. Bellamy’s hair was sweaty but, nevertheless, my fingers liked to play with them. He turned to me when he felt my hand behind his neck, giving me a small smile.
"Don’t fall asleep" I told him as soon as his eyes fell back on the road in front of us. He laughed. "Don’t worry, I’m wide awake".
I turned to face my window watching the arid expanse of bare mountains on the roadside. "How much time do you think is left till we’ll be there?" I asked, looking forward to being able to finally throw myself into the cold ocean.
"Do you see those?" He asked, pointing to the mountains. "The sea is right after them" Bellamy explained.

When the car went finally off, I woke up. It was seven in the evening and the sun was still high in the sky, but the heat was slowly decreasing.
"It fucking burns" I told Bellamy, once one of my feet sank into the sand.
"How could it burn in the evening?" He asked, meters behind me. Immediately after, I heard a scream. "I told you, idiot!" I said turning to him.
I took off my top and threw it on the ground along with my shoes while running to reach the shore as soon as possible. Still wearing shorts, I threw myself into the ocean.
The first thing I did when I resurfaced was screaming. The water was too cold and every single part of my body was pleading me to get out.
"Cold, Huh?" Bellamy said laughing, with the water up to his thighs.
"Are you scared to throw yourself into the water, Bellamy Blake?" I said with a mischievous smile on my face, slowly approaching him. I plunged into the water and when I resurfaced I was right in front of him. I stood out of the water freezing. I approached him even further until our noses ended up being only a few inches away. He knew what I was going to do and, as soon as my eyes closed, I felt his lips on mines. My tongue stroked his upper lip, asking him permission to enter and, after less than a second, he deepened the kiss.
Knowing that he was way too into the kiss, I pulled away and I buried him into the water. "I knew it!" he shouted once his head resurfaced from the water. My laughter was spontaneous. He walked over to me and took me in his arms and, after a few seconds, I found myself once again underwater.
"Okay, okay. You won" I said acting defeated. His answer was a simple laugh.
It didn’t took long that my chin began to tremble. I abandoned the water to lay down on the sand which felt like a warm blanket on me. A few minutes later Bellamy joined me laying down next to me.
"What time comes your sister?" I asked, looking at the sky.
"Lincoln said they would have left by six. They should be here at ten" he said. "Ah, I forgot to tell you that Lincoln’s half-sister is coming too".
I whirled toward him not able to believe what I had just heard. "Who told him that Lexa could come too?" I said nervously.
"What could I told him? "Oh no. Lexa isn’t welcomed here. You know, Clarke hates her"" he said turning to face me. I went back to stare at the blue, on the verge of exploding in anger.
"Maybe we should go, we still have to unpack" he said standing up with the sand on his back. After a few moments, I decided to get up and I picked up my stuff.

"Do you want me to do it?" I asked Bellamy who was already washing the dishes.
"Don’t worry" he mumbled, "Go lay on the couch, it’s still early" he then added.
I went to sit on the couch, curling up, but I wasn’t even able to turn on the TV that I heard the doorbell ring. ”It can’t be them already" I thought.
"I’ll go get it" Bellamy said, already heading for the door.
"Bells!" Octavia uttered as a little kid. She always did it and that made their relationship even more beautiful.
"Hey O" He hugged her tight for a few seconds with a big smile on his face.
Lincoln came to greet me with a hug. "Hey princess" he said smiling at me. Whenever he hugged me my bones would creak, but that was the fun part.
"How was your trip? We thought you’d be arriving later" I said returning the smile.
"There wasn’t a single car on the road" said another voice and we all turned to the door.
There she was, still, as if she was too afraid to enter the house. When she realized that everyone had stopped talking when she had finally spoke up, her eyes widened. She looked at us embarrassed and blushed a bit.
"Hi Lexa" I greeted her.
"Clarke" she replied.
