A few weeks had gone by, Finn was still leaving pathetic voicemail's on Clarke and Raven's answering machines. Clarke and Octavia pulled Raven into their group instantly. They all loved her and her personality. They spent a lot of girl time together which was fine with them. Bellamy on the other hand had thoughts of finding a quieter apartment, away from the women who took over the kitchen every single night. He knew he would never move, and he would certainly would not tell them they were a pain, after all they did feed him, but the thought gave him some sort of relief on days they became too much to handle. In a normal world two is company, three is a crowd, that was not the case here. Two was company three was equivalent to a tornado in his mind, there was no control, they took over and did whatever they wanted.

Clarke and Bellamy were the same as always. Octavia was convinced they were both too afraid to make the first move and she wasn't going to push them, anyone could see it would happen eventually.

Tonight was the night everyone, not just the girls gathered in the apartment. They played poker and watched movies. Clarke always worked till late on Wednesday's. Raven and Octavia needed to get groceries which left Bellamy the peace and quiet he craved, at least for a few hours.

Thankfully Raven goes home at night, so Bellamy only has to deal with Clarke and Octavia using the bathroom.

He opened the door to his bedroom still half asleep heading for the bathroom door. The second he opened the door he heard the shower.

"Is this going to be a long ordeal?" he asked half grumpy.

"What the shower? Could be why?" Clarke's smile could be heard in her voice, she loved antagonizing him. He would be a liar if he said he didn't like it too, it was their thing.

"Clarke, you know you have your own apartment, that you pay rent for, right? I know it comes with a shower." he stated leaning against the door.

"Your point being?" she asked.

"My point being that I take cold showers in the morning because you seem to need every ounce of hot water" he responded dryly.

"I like to be clean."

"Clarke, water that hot sanitizes, you should be so clean that I could eat off of you" he replied. Her mind took that to another place and she was thankful for the shower curtain because her cheeks were on fire.

"Everyone has to make sacrifices, that's how life works." she replied. Not two seconds after she said it the shower curtain moved and he stepped in fully naked. Clarke was pretty sure her heart stopped as she grabbed the liner from the shower curtain and held it in front of her.

"What are you doing?"

"Sharing, why sacrifice if we can both have it" he replied nonchalantly.

"You have got to be kidding me Bellamy"

"The way I see it is you have two choices, get out or share."

"Bell, I just put shampoo in my hair, I still need to rinse it and put conditioner in." she whined.

"So do it, I'm not getting out" he replied with a smug look as he put soap on his loofah.

"Get out, I'll rinse quick and give you the shower."

"Yeah right, do I look stupid to you?" he asked.

"Yes" she replied instantly glaring at him.

"Now I'm definitely not getting out" he chuckled. She sighed watching him stand on the other side of the water.

"Fine, two can play your stupid game" She said letting go of the curtain. She stepped forward under the water rinsing her hair. Giving him a full view of her body. She tried to hide the blush she knew was creeping up her cheeks, but he wasn't going to win. He took a few quick glances, diverting his gaze back to her face. As soon as she opened her eyes his locked on to them. His eyes were darker if that was even possible.

"I didn't think you had it in you Griffin" he smirked.

"I'm not leaving this bathroom till I'm clean" she stated. Grabbing the conditioner.

"Switch sides with me, I need to rinse off" Bellamy stated. She pressed herself tight against the wall holding his gaze. He placed his hands on her hips guiding him around her. She felt her breath catch in her throat. It wasn't unusual for him to rest his hands on her hips but in this situation it was setting her on fire. What she didn't know was that if she was going to burn, she could rest assured because he was surely going to burn alongside her. He was fighting off every urge he had to just kiss her. If he knew she was going to call his bluff and stay put he would have never hopped in. He was regretting this decision every second. He let the water cascade down this body washing the soap away. His distraction was to her benefit as she let her eyes slide over his body. If the shower wasn't torture enough for her she had to make it worse. When she moved her eyes up to his, there he stood with a smug look on his face.

"Like what you see?" he asked as she massaged the conditioner into her hair. She did, very much so, not that she would give him the satisfaction.

"I see a cocky pain in the ass, so no not really" she replied. He just smirked and nodded.

"You need over here again, or are you enjoying watching me?" he asked receiving a huff, before she pressed herself against the wall again. He paused in front of her, his hand reaching out to her hips. He let his thumbs draw light circles on her lower stomach. She was fighting her body to not react, however that was a task, her body was determined to defy her. He smirked down at her.

"What?" she asked quietly.

"You know, this could be fun" he stated letting his fingers gently run up her sides.

"I'm sure it could be" she replied as he moved in lips hovering above hers.

"Just say the word" he replied his voice deep and husky. She could feel his breath across her cheek. Her pulse was setting a record speed, she was sure of it.

"What would this be then?" she asked skeptical.

"Nothing would change" he replied. The second it left his mouth he knew he fucked up. She took a step back shaking her head no.

"Everything would change"she replied. She grabbed her towel and stepped out of the shower. He washed his hair quick and shut the water off. He slid the curtain over and grabbed a towel. Clarke stood in the mirror brushing her hair. She paused to look up at him. He stepped forward resting a hand on the counter on each side of her. He leaned forward resting his chin on her shoulder. They stood absolutely still just looking at each other in the mirror.

"Your right, but maybe that's not bad" he stated before pressing a kiss to her cheek. He didn't wait for a response just opened the door and headed to get dressed. She put the brush down following suit. She didn't make it far before she ran into him. Octavia and Raven were coming down the hallway. She would never live this down. She moved closer to Bellamy hoping they wouldn't see her.

"No use hiding, we already checked the room and his, there isn't any other options. We were looking for the grocery list." Raven smiled.

"This is why you are always late" Octavia smiled at Bellamy, he ran a hand across the back of his neck.

"It's not what it looks like" Clarke stated.

"Oh no? you didn't take a shower together?" she had her, there was no good way to explain it.

"We did, but just to save hot water" he replied. Clarke covered her face with her hand. She was going to kill him.

"That only works if it's a quick shower" Octavia smiled at them as she walked into her room. Clarke groaned following the girls as Bellamy chuckled walking into his room.

Everyone got ready, Raven and Octavia headed to the store. Leaving Clarke and Bellamy alone in the apartment that suddenly felt to small. Clarke put her jacket on and grabbed her stuff.

"Alright Bellamy, I'll see you later. Duty calls." She stated as she headed for the door.

"Wait just a second" he called walking down the hall. She paused leaning against the door.

"What?, I have to go" she asked looking at her watch. She looked back up at him just in time for his lips to crash onto hers. Her body reacted instantly, still worked up from the shower. The kiss was the kind that you thought about all day, everyday. the kind of kiss that makes your knees week. When he pulled away she was more confused then before.

"You can slap me if you want, I just needed to know how it feels"

"How what feels?" she asked barely audible.

"Your lips on mine, the shower had me off balance, I needed something."

"Nice, just help yourself I guess" she stated opening the door and slamming it behind her. That whole situation aggravated her, she would not be another Roma.

Bellamy laughed to himself, she drove him crazy, and he knew she was just as worked up, that kiss didn't lie, if only he could get her to give in.

He finally had the apartment to himself. He sat down and started reading one of his books, where he left off.

Just as he was getting two seconds of silence a knock sounded at the door. He sighed putting the book down. It was destined he would never get two seconds to himself again. He opened the door, there stood a person with flowers. The kid paused looking at Bellamy.

"Delivery for Clarke Griffin" he stated handing them over. Bellamy took them and closed the door. He put them on the counter taking the card out.

Clarke,

I am sorry, and I really need to talk to you, let me explain, I love you.

Finn

Bellamy threw the card next to the flowers and grabbed his jacket. He about had enough of everything. He couldn't convince her to see him as anyone other than her best friend, he knew why Finn wouldn't stop bothering her, it was a loss. He wouldn't find another Clarke. None of them would. He locked up the apartment and walked down to the docks. The water always seemed to help center him.
