"We had dinner, or breakfast I should say, then he brought me home when we were finished." Clarke told Octavia who inquired about her night at work the next day. She had the early shift today, once the clock ticked one she would be off to her first day of work for Murphy. She felt like she needed a nap, she layed awake for awhile thinking about Bellamy's hands on her. She spent more time trying to will herself away from thoughts of what it would be like with his hands all over her body then she did sleeping.
"At least you guys are back to normal" she smiled wiping the counter down quick. 'Normal, right, not what I would call it.' she thought to herself.
They spent the day cleaning and doing inventory. Once the new order came in they were going to decorate the shop for Halloween and Clarke couldn't wait, only another week and it would be October already. Charlotte was still undecided on a Halloween costume. They had a party at school, so whatever she chose had to be easy to move around in. She already talked to Octavia and Nyko, and she was sure Murphy wouldn't care if she dressed up. She was worse then a kid when it came to Halloween. Octavia was just as bad and Bellamy wasn't ever any fun when it came to Halloween. He refused to dress up.
" Have you picked a Halloween costume yet?" Clarke asked Octavia.
" I did, I'm going to be a devil" Octavia said pulling her phone out to show Clarke. It was a tight red shiny short dress with horns on a headband and a tail. Not to mention a pitchfork.
" I'd say a devil, one things for sure, you will be hot" Clarke laughed.
"How about you? Choose one yet" Octavia asked.
" I've got it narrowed down to a wicked witch or a naughty school girl" she said showing her phone to Octavia.
" And you had the nerve to make jokes about my costume, your choices are just as skimpy." Octavia stated.
" Help me out, what do you think?" Clarke asked.
" The school girl, deffinately"
" That was a quick choice" Clarke replied as she clicked the order button.
" Perfect, should be here in the next few days" she added slipping her phone back in her pocket.
"Seems fitting seeing as my brother wont dress up, so he will have his normal teaching attire on." Octavia said laughing.
" I didn't even think of that, damn it O" Clarke said feeling the blush cross her cheeks.
" Oh stop, now you two can go to the adult party at Azgeda, its the new bar and grill a few blocks over, I heard it's nice. I'm going with the new football coach, Lincoln. Just don't tell Bell" she laughed.
"As long as you keep my costume a secret" Clarke bargained.
"Deal" Octavia replied.
"Shit, I'm gonna be late!" Clarke said looking at her watch and hurrying to clock out.
"Tell Murphy I kept you late " Octavia said smiling as Clarke rushed out the door. Thankfully Murphy's office was four doors down. She paused taking in his sign.
'Murphy's Moving and Storage, if only they knew what you store and move' She thought to herself. She opened the door noting the chime that went off.
"Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in." Murphy's voice carried across the front.
"Sorry I lost track of time" Clarke smiled.
"Yeah, well your a female, isn't that normal?" he laughed.
"Nice" she replied walking towards him.
"That desk in front of the window is yours" he stated motioning to the desk.
"The one against the wall is mine, it's been a long time since I've had help and an even longer time since anyone has used that desk. I figured today you could clean it out and get everything situated the way you want it, when you are done with that we will get you an account into the system, sound good?" he asked.
"Yup, easy enough" She replied.
"That doorway leads to the back self storage/locker unit, everyone has there own keys so there is no need for them to stop and talk to you unless they want to. The bathroom is back there too."
"Okay" she replied taking a seat in the chair, she pulled the garbage can over and started going through the desk and all it's contents. The door chimed and revealed Roma. She gave Clarke a glance and looked to Murphy.
"Must be desperate, huh?" she asked.
"Roma, can it or get out" he replied going over files. She walked past him to the back storage area.
"Do you have the heat on in here?"Clarke asked
"Nope, it's a warm day, you are sitting in the sun and wearing a scarf. Open the window. You know that thing next to you?" Murphy stated raising his eyebrows at her.
"Yeah, I know what the window is, thanks" She replied in a playful tone.
"Glad to know nothing get's past you Griffin." he replied laughing. She threw out everything in the desk pretty much, Leaving a few pens, paperclips and a notepad that was unused.
"Can I put pictures of Charlotte on the desk?" She asked.
"You can do whatever you please, just take in to account the people who stop in sometimes. You might not want them to know too much about you. I'm not going to lie to you Clarke. People like Dax, Roma, Cage, Emerson. They are frequent flyers through here." He stated in a warning tone. She saw him look up at her.
"Not people you want to know what your daughter looks like or who your man or friends are" he added. She nodded.
"I see your point" she replied sounding discouraged.
"If you were going to do that, I would keep them in the top drawer so they are there for you but not everyone" he replied knowingly. She gave him a slight smile.
"Thanks for the idea" She said sending him another smile. Just then the chime went off again, this time someone carrying a plant.
" I have a delivery for a Clarke Griffin" He stated.
"And so it starts." Murphy laughed receiving a mock glare from Clarke.
"That's me" she spoke up.
"Here you go Ma'am, From a Bellamy Blake" He said as he handed her the small card, leaving the plant on her desk as he exited. She slid the card out of the envelope.
Clarke,
I might not like the idea of you working there, But I hope it's everything you want it to be.
I hope you like the plant, It needs sun, hopefully you have a window.
-Bellamy
She smiled to herself sliding the note back into the envelope then into the top drawer of her desk. She moved her new plant into the window. It was perfect, made it feel like her own space already.
"Looks good there, right?" She asked looking at Murphy.
"Yup, great" he replied still buried in files.
"You didn't even look" she scolded.
"Oh good lord, I don't really care where you put it." he said looking up to see where it is.
"Yup looks great, perfect" he replied giving her a enthusiastic thumbs up.
"Your a dick" she replied.
"That's why I hired you, I love your honesty" he laughed.
