"Wait a second... Let me see if I'm getting this right. So Octavia is dating both you and Lincoln, and because she doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings, she's going to choose to date one of you?"
"Pretty much."
"How is that fair?"
"Well, we all agreed that until she's ready, she's gonna go on dates with both of us. We also agreed that whoever she chooses that we all still remain good friends. It's just, casual dating between the three of us. It's no big deal really."
"Wow. I-I don't know what to say."
"Clarke come on, your my best friend. Can you please just support me?"
"Yeah of course. Always."
"Thank you."
I agreed to all of this because I didn't want anyone knowing that I was in love with my best friend. Sure Lincoln may love her as much as I do, but her and I have known each other since we were kids. We've been through hell and back with each other. She was even my first kiss. I just wish that I could've been hers.
"So when are you taking her out?"
"Uh Friday."
"Do you know what your doing yet?"
"I have a few ideas." One being I get to kiss her at the end of the night..
"I hope you know what your getting yourself into Rae. This thing can go south real fucking quick."
"I know. Whoever she ends up with, I have to be okay with it. I mean it's not like I'm in love with her or anything."
Shit. I think I've said to much.
"Wait a second... Are you in love with her?"
Shit. Maybe if I stay silent she'll let this conversation drop. Or maybe not with the death glare she's giving me."Yes."
Shes silent but than looks to me with concern."Does she know?" I shake my head hoping she'll drop the subject. "I won't say anything. I promise."
Thank god. "Thank you."
"Your welcome."
…..
"Mason! Hurry up or your gonna be late! Again!"
"Coming!"
As I hear the footsteps coming down the stairs, I couldn't help but notice how nicely dressed my son was. But I am a bit curious as to why he looks so nice.
"Is that what your wearing to school today?"
He nods his head with excitement. "Yep. I'm trying to impress someone."
He's to young to impress someone. He shouldn't be doing that until he's about sixteen. Raven wants him to date when he's fourty, but we compromised to sixteen. "Oh yeah? And who's this person your trying to impress?"
He zips his lips while he smiles with a mouth full of food. I swear he's turning more into Raven. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe both? Who knows. Guess I'll have to find out.
"You're not gonna tell me are you?" He shakes his head. "Does your mother know about this?" He shakes his head again. "Will you tell us both later?" He nods his head this time as he continues eating his breakfast. "Well hurry up and eat. Your mothers waiting impatiently in the car for you."
He gulps down his food as he heads towards the car. "Bye mom, love you!"
"Bye! Love you too! Have fun at school!" He waves back to me as I blow my wife a kiss as she takes down the street.
Don't forget. Mason has a soccer game tonight. –Octavia
I won't forget. –Raven
I love you. –Octavia
I love you too. -Raven
God.
I love my family.

"I had a good time tonight."
"Me too."
I stare into her eyes and I couldn't help but smile. Her eyes are so haunting. I want to stare at them forever. She looks me in the eye for a few more seconds before she's leaning in.
"I should probably get inside."
She shrugs. "Yeah probably."
We keep leaning forward, and our lips were about to touch when we heard a sound of a cleared throat. We both turn our heads to see who it was coming from. It was none other than Bellamy. Damn you you asshole. Way to be a dock block.
"It was nice seeing you Raven."
"Bellamy."
I hate my brother so much right now. He couldn't have waited two more minutes?
"I'll see you later O."
She leans in and places a soft tender kiss on my cheek. God do I want her.
I softly whisper in her ear saying I'd call her later. She nods her head with a quick smile and heads towards her care.. "Drive safely.."
She turns to me and smiles. God her smile makes my knees weak. "I will."
When she was out of complete eye sight I turned to see my brother staring at me. "What?"
"I don't trust her." He said while crossing his arms.
"Well I do. So get over it and move on."
"She's not good for you O."
"Fuck you Bellamy."
"You know I'm right."
And I know that your wrong. Your so wrong.
...
"Raven! So glad you could make it into work today."
"Yeah yeah just be glad I'm here and not kicking someones ass."
"Ha. You and I both know you wish you could kick this fine ass."
"Hey, I may be your boss. But you know damn well I can fire you and your ass."
She raises her hands in surrender. "I'll behave. I swear."
"Alright. Well I gotta get to this damn meeting. I'll see you in about an hour."
"Later boss."
"And Anya?"
"Yes?"
"Don't break into my office. Last time you broke into my office, it was filled with live chickens and five very angry pigs."
"No breaking and entering. Got it. See you in an hour."
"See you in an hour."
God. I really hope she doesn't break into my office. There have been so many times were Anya has played pranks on me. And last time she played a prank on me, everyone in the building was screaming there heads off because of how many chickens and pigs were in the building. I mean it was funny and all, but not to anyone who was either pecked at or had gotten bit by one of the pigs. There was also a time were my office was filled ankle deep with rubber bouncy balls. Granted I could have gotten hurt, but I didn't. So when I tried to explain that to Octavia, she wasn't very happy. Came down to the office and yelled at Anya for at least ten minutes. I just wish I could have gotten it on video.

"I'm sorry. I don't think I heard that did what to your office?"
"She filled it ankle deep with rubber bouncy balls." Maybe I shouldn't have said anything to Octavia. Oh well. It's not like she's gonna come down here and yell at Anya.
"You could have gotten hurt Raven! Doesn't she know that!"
"I'm sure she knew, but it's Anya babe. She's like Lexa but more crazy."
"I don't care! I'm coming down there right now and she's not going to like it one bit."
Spoke too soon. Oops.m"Babe. You don't have to do that, really it's fine."
"Too late. I'm here." Well shit. That was fast.
Anya's totally fucked.
"Anya!" And there she is. The look on Anya's face though is priceless. She looks shitless scared. "Where is she!"
Anya looks towards me with wide eyes. "You told her?"
I shrug. Of course I did. "Sorry dude. I tell her everything. Just be glad I didn't tell her about the fire and the strippers."
Before I could say anything else, my wife starts going off on Anya like a mad woman. But can I just say.
Best. Day. Ever.

Senior Year - 2011
It's been six months since our arrangement. It was fun at first, but now I can't help but feel like she's choosing Lincoln over me. I haven't seen her in three weeks because she's been spending most of her time with Lincoln. I blame myself for that really. I've been so busy with homework, and college applications, that I've been missing my time with Octavia. I know she loves us both, but it feels like she's falling for Lincoln. And that hurts. I needed to do something and quick.
I had know idea know what I was doing. But I needed Octavia to know how I truly feel. Granted I should have called first, but I couldn't do it. I don't even remember driving this fast, cause next thing I know I'm at her door waiting patiently to knock. Granted I've been standing here for a good five minutes and I'm not doing anything but stand here like a fool. I needed to stop thinking so much, because if I don't do this now, than what's the point?
"Please be home, please be home."
When the door opens, I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the person who had answered the door. Fucking Bellamy.
"Reyes. What do you want?"
"Is Octavia home?"
"She's not. Now if you don't mind, I'd like you to leave."
"Wait I-"
"Bell! Who's at the door?" Of course he lied. I should've known better. He's lucky I don't hit him right now.
"It's no one important."
You son of a bitch.
"Have a good night Raven."
Are you kidding me right now! I swear, the next time I see Bellamy I'm giving him a nice punch in the face. I mean come on! What did I ever do to him to have him hate me so much? Is it because I'm dating Octavia? Is that why? Because if that's why I'm still punching him in the face.
Asshole.
...
"How was everyone's day?"
"It was good until Anya decided to call Clarke and have her come down and paint my entire office."
I look to Mason before turning back to Raven with raised eyes in curiosity. "Is it child appropriate?"
"No. Not at all."
Now curious I whisper quietly. "What was it?"
"Let's just say they were going at it like cats and dogs."
"Anya and Clarke?"
"No. The two women painted on my office walls."
"Knowing Clarke, it was probably detailed to the last drop?"
"It was."
I laugh at the redness of my wife's cheeks. I needed to see this painting for myself. As I continue to have a small conversation with Raven, I couldn't help but look over towards a quiet Mason. "You okay sweetie?"
He shrugs as he continues playing with his food..
"You wanna talk about?"
He shrugs again. Seriously. What's with the shrugs.
"Mason what's wrong? Did something happen at school today?"
He nods. Please dear god not another fight.
"What happened?"
He looks to me and Raven with tears in his eyes. "I kissed someone and they pushed me away."
"Oh sweetie I'm sorry. Who did you kiss?"
He sighed as he wiped the tears from his face. "Sarah."
"Who's Sarah?"
"The girl I like."
"Why did she push you away?"
"Cause she likes someone else."
My poor baby. "Mason honey, you have to remember that there are plenty of other people out there in the world for you. Not just Sarah."
He nods. "I know."
"Who does she like anyways?" Raven said with a mouth full of food. I wonder where Mason gets that from. I swear she's a child.
"Aden Woods."
I did not, see that coming.
