"C'mon Bell, you have to get back out there. Gina dumped you...for a girl...but you can move past that. I think. Yes, you can. I'm setting you up on a blind date. You have no say in the matter, but you're going and you are going to treat it as a real date not just some rebound."
"Fine Octavia. But I probably won't be happy about it."
"Shut up, I'll set you up with my friend Raven from work. She's nice, and she will help you get you mind off your lesbian ex."
Bellamy just huffed and went up to his room to get changed. Just something simple for a first "date". Should he even consider this a date? Yes. He needed to get over back stabbing Gina. Jeans, Nikes, and a loose white tee. Simple enough. He went back down.
"Alright you're going to get coffee at this address, and lucky for you, she was recently dumped. Maybe more than just this coffee date, mm?" Octavia winked. Bellamy shuddered.
"Ew. Stop." He grabbed his keys and left. While the Blake's lived in a nicer apartment, that meant they couldn't afford a car, or to rephrase they couldn't afford a car that didn't need constant repairs and have a ton of debt to insurance companies. So he began walking to the closet bus stop, which happened to be 5 miles away.
Walking was nice. He got to exercise, look at people and notice things you wouldn't notice if you were speeding by in a car. People were so interesting. Seeing how differently they react to the same situations. He reaches the bus station about an hour and a half later. He ran a little bit to get up that cardio. The bus ride to the city was pretty quick. Downtown was one of those places that wasn't necessarily scary so much as a bit sketchy. You would trust leaving a car unlocked for more than a minute or two, and you certainly wouldn't want to be here at night. He walked around the city for another half hour before checking his watch and noticing he had about five minutes to be at the coffee shop. He checked the address and looked at the street signs, oddly enough the cafe was across the street from him.
Walking in, there weren't many people. Just a few 20-year old's probably writing screenplays. He went to the counter and ordered a caramel macchiato with a double shot of caffeine and sat down at a table in the corner but closer to the front.
He sat there for over an hour. Playing on his phone, watching Netflix through earbuds, ordering lunch. Officially he had been stood up. Deciding he'd finish his episode of Futurama then get back to the bus station. Ten more minutes then he was going to head out.
Clarke was walking around trying to get to the bus stop when she heard her name being called out.
"Clarke? Oh, my god, it is you. Hey, Clarkey!" She looked back to find her ex Luke calling out. Luke was insane and Clarke dumped him over 6 months ago, but he just kept showing up where ever she was. It felt like he was stalking her almost. Which, honestly, wouldn't be that big of a surprise. She looked up and saw a cafe, she dashed in hoping to avoid him in there. She sat in between two guys. Both attractive men. Clarke peeked out the window and saw Luke peering in.
"Hi, you don't know me, I'm Clarke Griffin, but my crazy stalker ex is outside can you please pretend to be my boyfriend so he doesn't like kidnap me or something?" She asked the man to her left.
"What the hell? No." he got up and walked out of the shop.
"I'll help you out. On one condition we can talk about in a little bit." Clarke looked over to her right and saw the other guy. He was extremely handsome now that she looked closer. Luke opened the door to the cafe.
"Deal." she said scooting closer to him.
"By the way my name is Bellamy." He whispered before Luke came over.
"Clarkey, who's this?" Luke asked looking jealous. Like they were still dating.
"Oh, hi Luke. This is my boyfriend. Bellamy."
"Hi very nice to meet you, Luke, was it?" Bellamy stuck his hand out to shake Luke's. He did not put his hand out in return.
"Um, Clarke why are you with him right now? He is not your boyfriend."
"Oh? And you would know, right? Well, you're wrong, unfortunately. We've been dating for almost four moths now."
"I've never met him, not when we were dating. And you are most certainly not her type. I bet you know nothing about her."
"Your right. I barely know her." Clarke looks at him, and he looks back at her, not breaking eye contact. "But I do know that when I look into her crystal blue eyes I can see our own little galaxy where it's just the two of us. We can just sit around in comfortable silence forever. I love when she falls asleep in my arms while we're watching TV, and I love waking up to her beautiful face. Because she is truly the most beautiful women I've ever met. I love you Clarke Griffin, and I need you to know that." Clarke kisses him softly on his lips.
"I love you too." she said back, teary eyed.
"Mmmm." Luke hums angrily before leaving the cafe.
"Wow." Clarke says wiping her eyes, "That was...something else..."
"Thank's I try." Bellamy chuckles.
"I can't thank you enough. really. Oh! What was your condition?"
"Ah yes. You have to go on one date with me."
"Ok. I'll do that. I'd like that actually. Here." She handed him a piece of paper with her number written on it. Said, "Call me." and started leaving.
"Oh, Clarke!" She turned around to look at him again. "I meant what I said at the end. You are the most beautiful woman I've met in my life."
"Damn, keep saying things like that and you might score yourself a second date." She said with a wink and walked out.
