The next day I was very curious about what Newt's 'project' was. He told me he would be done this day, so I guessed he didn't have to work anymore. Newt also told me he would show me his project after dinner, so I still had a very long and boring day to go through before I could finally see what he was working on.

"Come with me?" Newt asked after we finished eating dinner. I nodded and got up, very curious. I followed Newt toward the beach and we started walking around, like usual.
"Are you angry at me?" Newt suddenly asked.

I hesitated. "Not angry."

"Upset?"

"A little." I shrugged. "Can you tell me what you've been doing all these days?"

"In a minute." Newt mysteriously replied as he grabbed my hand. We kept walking.

"What were you doing in the mountains?"

Newt ignored my question. "What do you think it is what I have been working on?" He asked.

"Something for the Cooks to use?"

Newt chuckled. "No."

"Something Gally can build with?"

"No."

"A new sewing machine for Liana?"

"No."

"A hair gel jar for Minho?"

"No." Newt laughed. "Think for a second, Nora."

I was thinking, but couldn't find out what Newt was trying to say. "Thomas knows about it, doesn't he?"

"Yeah." Newt paused. "What could I be searching for in the mountains?"

"A plant."

"What? No. Not a plant, Nora." Newt sighed. "Are you on something?"

"No, I just can't think of something. Were you searching for rocks?"

"Why would I search for rocks?"

"I don't know!" I frustratedly said. Newt seemed to enjoy all of it. "Can't you just tell me instead of teasing?"

"Alright." Newt came to a stop. A big smile grew on his face. "Close your eyes." Hesitantly I did as he told me to and closed my eyes. "Give me your hand."

I held up my hand. "This better fit," Newt muttered. I felt Newt put something on my ring finger. My breathing hitched. Did he just give me a ring?

"You can open your eyes now, Nora." Newt chuckled when I didn't open them after a minute. Slowly I opened them and looked at my hand. My heart started beating faster once I saw a beautiful golden ring on my finger. Small diamonds were carved into the gold and so was the letter N. It was beautiful. I almost gasped.

"Did you make this?" I stammered.

"Yes," Newt replied.

My heart fluttered and butterflies formed in my stomach. He had spent all those days making a ring for me. Slowly a big smile started to form on my face. It was so sweet and perfect.

"Do you like it?" Newt nervously asked.

"I shucking love it!" I smiled and wrapped my arms around Newt tightly. I was so happy and decided to never take the ring off again. It fitted me perfectly. "It's amazing, Newt. Thank you so much." I quietly said in his ear, still hugging him.

Newt laughed and let go of me. "I'm glad you like it."

"I love it." I corrected. "Now what were you searching for in the mountains?"

"You still don't understand?" Newt asked. "The diamonds."

"They're real?" My eyes opened wide. "You found them yourself?"

"Took me bloody long, but yes. And the gold is real too."

My smile grew even bigger and I almost got tears in my eyes.
"Sorry, I've been acting so weird these days." I quickly said before cupping Newt's face and kissing him deeply. My eyes automatically closed and just as always, I slid one of my hands into Newt's blonde hair. Newt pulled me closer by the waist, causing me to get tingles all over my body.

"Newt!" Minho screamed after a while. "Get a room! You have been kissing there for one minute already! It's enough for my eyes to take, I might get a trauma again!"

Newt chuckled and pulled away, but instead of 'getting a room', he got down on the sand. I followed his example and soon our lips were connected again, but this time we lay on the sand. I was under Newt.

"In public?" I quietly asked when Newt let go for a slight second.

"Who cares? We're just kissing." Newt smiled and pressed his soft lips on mine again. "I missed this." He whispered through the kisses. I laughed and put one of my hands on Newt's back before kissing again.

"You two sure had some fun on the beach yesterday." Minho sighed at breakfast the next day.

"We were just kissing." Newt simply replied. "Be lucky we didn't do that in the Glade."

"If y'all did it in the Glade I would be blind by now. It's disgusting."

"It's your fault. If you didn't lock us up it might've never happened. And besides, you want a partner too. Did you really think you weren't going to kiss them?" Newt asked.

"That's different than watching someone kiss." Minho snapped.

"Then just don't watch," I said.

"If I looked the other way I would've seen Liana and Logan kissing right next to me! Seriously. They were sitting next to me on the bench." Minho dramatically explained. "I want someone too."

"Then date Mivy," I suggested.

"She doesn't like me."

"Make her like you."

"Are you engaged, Nora?" Minho grinned and looked at my ring, changing the subject.

"No." I chuckled lightly. "But Newt made it. Look." I held my hand in front of Minho's face.

"Loverboy," Minho mumbled. He didn't seem very interested. I smiled at Newt before eating my food.
