Episode 14: The One With Octavia's Inadvertant Kiss

Octavia enters Central Perk, a swing in her step and a grin on her face. "Good, you guys are all here!"

Bellamy smiles, dragging his sister in for a hug and kisses her cheek. "Hey, what's up?

She grins, looking to all of them with a grin that they know something big is gonna happen. "Well, I quit Central Perk and I have a job interview at Ralph Lauren tomorrow!"

They all cheer, pulling her in for hugs and congratulations, "Ohh, that's great! I'm so proud of you, baby sis!" Bellamy says pulling her in for a hug which she smiles into.

"I know!" Octavia squeals, squeezing her brother with just as much love as he's squeezing into her. "I'm going to be the coordinator of the woman's collection, I'll work right under the director, it's the perfect, perfect job for me! You were so right, Clarke. Thanks for setting me up."

The group looks over to Clarke and she shrugs in reply, "Caitlyn and my mom have been friends since high school. She's the director. I have...connections."

"Wow! Well, if you nail the interview, you'll totally get it." Raven says.

Octavia smiles, "Yeah. It's so great."

"You wanna work on your interview skills?" Raven asks.

"Okay!" Octavia smiles, stepping up to Raven.

"Okay! All right, let's start with the handshake. Hi." Raven says, extending her hand and Octavia shakes it firmly, "Hello."

Raven hisses, pulling away suddenly and looking at her wrist in pain. "Oh my God! What did I ever do to you?!"

"Did I squeeze it too hard?" Octavia asks as Raven rubs her hurt wrist.

"Let's just say, I'm glad I'm not Lincoln."

Bellamy grimaces, making a disgusted face as he tries not to comprehend the remark.

Bellamy enters the Central Perk, going up to the waiter and asking for two coffees with two packs of sugar. He turns around and smiles, seeing as Clarke, Raven and Octavia are bundled up on the couch and laughing. It's amazing how the three girls, when together, could literally block out a thunderstorm.

Clarke looks up, finally noticing him sitting down in a chair beside them, she looks him up and down in his uniform and smirks, "Well hello, officer." She teases.

He smirks back, "Ladies." He says in his best cop impression he could muster.

"Your back early from your shift? Trying to bust us or something?" Clarke asks.

"Oh yeah. Just got a call on the radio about three girls, all around 5'3 with black, blonde and brown hair." She hums, raising an eyebrow for him to continue his story, "But they say the blonde one is really dangerous."

"How?" She asks, grinning from ear to ear.

"Apparently she's a total nerd who is suppose to be at her own shift and lied to her best friend about being there."

She sighs, sinking down in her chair and pouting, "I'm not a nerd. If people were to go to jail for being a nerd, you'd never be out. And I got off early, I didn't lie."

He huffs, "Whatever, liar. Don't know if I can trust you anymore."

She frowns, "C'mon Bell," He looks away, not meeting her gaze, "Bellamy." She says louder but he gets up and gets the coffee the waiter had just called out. She grumbles, getting up and giving him a hug from behind as she rests her forehead in the middle of his back. "Your such a nerd." She grumbles.

"But you love-" He's interrupted by the radio that goes off from his belt, "We've lost visual contact with the suspect."

"Okay, I've gotta go. Miller's waiting for me." He says, pulling her in for a hug and kissing her forehead.

"That's so unfair that their taking my best friend away from me when I have to update you on what happened at the hospital. I cant believe their stopping me from telling you just 'cause some guy is probably getting shot at a store clerk."

Bellamy smiles sympathetically, "I know, but you'll tell me all about it later, okay?"

She frowns, jutting out her bottom lip, "Fine...it's still not fair."

"But it's my job, sweetheart." He says with a fond smile.

"Okay, then maybe I can come too? I'll tell you on the way? I know some medical stuff being that y'know...I'm a nurse; could come in handy." Clarke asks.

His radio goes off again, "Suspect has just emerged naked from the sewer."

Clarke nods, "All right, you go. Be safe."

"Always." He nods, hugging her again and kissing the top of Octavia's head while he passes, "Bye Rae!" He says as he runs out the door.

Bellamy runs out, the two coffee's in one hand and pulling out his walkie talkie to say something into it but the doors close behind him before they can hear.

She walks back to the table, siting in between Raven and Octavia again as she grabs her cup of latte. She looks between them, hearing as how they said nothing so far and raises an eyebrow at them to speak.

"Oh my God!" Octavia exclaims finally.

"What?" Clarke asks genuinely.

"Don't 'what' us!" Raven exclaims.

"You two were flirting!" Octavia states, pointing an accusing finger at her. "Ew, that's my brother and...gross!" Octavia says, rubbing her arms to get rid of her goosebumps.

Clarke gasps, "We were not!"

"Don't you dare lie to our faces, Clarke Elizabeth Griffin!" Raven accuses.

"Ugh!" Octavia says still grossed out. "'Well hello, officer' gross Clarke, ew!"

"We were joking! That wasn't flirting!"

The waitress smiles, coming up and handing Raven her black coffee, "Yes, it was." She informs and takes her leave.

Clarke turns around, mouth agape at the waitress who is doing her job and doing everything to ignore Clarke's glare. "No one asked you!" She turned over to the laughing Octavia and Raven, "We're friends!"

"Okay, how many times do I have to say this? Bellamy and I are just friends. Nothing will happen between us because we don't like each other like that." Right when she's done shouting it at them, the coffee shop goes silent until everyone, Octavia and Raven, the nosy waitress and everyone in Central Perk bursts out laughing at her lie.

Clarke smiles when Octavia enters the apartment, "Oh hey, how'd the interview go?"

Octavia takes off her coat, throwing it on the coat hanger only for it to fall on the couch and opens the fridge to grab a tub of chocolate ice cream.

"Ooo, that bad, little sis?" Bellamy asks, handing her a glass of milk which she chugs down.

She wipes away her milk mustache and covers her face with her hands, "Ugh, it was horrible! I did the stupidest, most embarrassing thing!"

"Did you tell the guy you wanted to have sex with his wife and then fall right out of your chair?" Jasper asks.

"No." Octavia sulks.

"So what happened?" Monty asks.

"Ugh, it was horrible! And-and the interview part went so well, y'know? I even made him laugh. He said something about a boat and I was like, "Well, yeah! If you've got enough life jackets!"" Octavia laughs, everyone not looking very amused.

"And I thought Raven's jokes were terrible." Wick says from the couch.

"Hi Wick." Octavia says through her hands as she continues to sulk.

"Hi younger Blake." Wick replies, his little nickname for Octavia.

Octavia sniffs, "Well, trust me, it was actually, it was very funny. Anyway, so we were saying good-bye and ugh!" She stops herself, holding her brain because it's hurting from just the thought. Her mind trying to repress the thought so she won't live with the embarrassment.

"What happened, sweetie?" Clarke asks.

Octavia takes a few deep breaths, before she nods; having the courage to say it. "All right, we were shaking hands and he kinda leaned toward me… Y'know maybe he was going to open the door, but I totally miss read him and I uhhh… I kissed him."

"You kissed him?!" Bellamy exclaimed, standing from up on his chair and veins suddenly popping out from his body, looking as if he's going to punch someone but knowing Bellamy that would be too nice - he'd probably kill him or arrest him for something he didn't do like her last boyfriend.

"Well, I didn't know what else to do!" Octavia exasperated, throwing up her hands.

"Well you coulda tried, not kissing him." Wick commented.

"Thanks Wick." Octavia muttered.

"What about Lincoln?" Clarke asked.

"It was a kiss on the cheek! Nothing more! You don't think he'll get mad, do you?"

"Uh...probably a bad time to interrupt but a guy from Ralph Lauren called, you got a second interview!" Monty cheered.

"Why didn't you tell me before?!" Octavia exclaimed.

"Uh, duh, I wanted to hear your embarrassing story."

Octavia rolled her eyes, soon squealing and jumping on her feet, "I can't believe it! I got a second interview!"

"I bet that cheek kiss isn't looking like such a big mistake now, is it?" Jasper wiggled his eyebrows.

Octavia stopped jumping up and down, gasping at even the idea, "What-what, wait a minute, you don't think that's why he wants me back?"

"Duh!" Jasper says and when Monty and Wick slap him behind his head, he deadpans, adding, "I mean, no?"

"If that's the reason, just give him to me. I'll tell him why you should get the job." Bellamy says.

"And by tell you mean beat and that means police brutality and that also means loosing your job. I'm not doing that. You're the chief, I don't want anything bad going down for you just because of me...oh god, that's obviously the reason why he wants me back! 'Cause "Let's bring the girl back who kisses everybody!"" She mocks herself.

"Come on, Tav. It's not that." Clarke says, wrapping her arm around the girl and rubbing her arm for comfort.

"Oh my God! What if he thinks I'm the kind of girl that-that would just sleep with him! What happens if Lincoln finds out and we break up? Oh god!" Octavia buries her head in her hands, sitting down on the table as she sniffs.

"He wants you back because you're right for the job, O. And you know Lincoln would never break up with you for something as silly as that. A kiss on the cheek isn't anything too bad." Bellamy comforts, going up to his sister and rubbing her shoulders.

Octavia groans, still stuffing her mouth full of chocolate ice cream and they all form around her to give her a giant bear hug that she continues to whimper in.

Octavia sighs, banging her pen between her teeth as she waits for Mr. Zelner to evaluate her once again. A lot of questions run through her head when she's waiting down in the brown leather chair in front of his desk. So anxious to just get this over with and see what his true intentions are. "Hi Octavia!" Mr. Zelner greets as he walks in his office.

"Hi!" Octavia says with just as much enthusiasm as he did.

"It's really nice to see you again." He says, taking a seat in his chair in front of her.

"Thank you." Octavia says, a nervous crack in her throat.

Mr. Zelner squints his eyes, seeing the ink on her lip from the pen she had been holding. "Oh Octavia, uhh… " He motions to his lip to get her to notice the ink on hers.

"What?"

"Just ah…" He points again.

"Excuse me?" Octavia says, now anger raging through her voice that he doesn't seem to read.

"Here let me…" He leans over his desk, trying to wipe it off himself.

Octavia slaps his hand away, eyes wide and mouth agape. "Wh-whoa! All right, okay-okay, I see, I see what's going on here! Now listen, look, I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression, but I am not some hussy who will just sleep around to get ahead! Now even though I," He tries to interrupt and tell her about the ink but she stops him with a pointed finger raised to his face, "Hey-hey-hey, even though I kissed you on the cheek, that does not give you the right to demand sex from me. I do not want, this job that bad. Good day, sir. And for your information, I have a boyfriend who could kick your ass with his pinky, that is, if my brother and I didn't first." Octavia stands up, storming out of his office and giving him one last glare/scowl before she slams the door.

Octavia returns to her home, sluggish and still boiling from her interview attempt.

Octavia slam the door behind her, throwing her coat on the hanger and growls to the gang that is still sitting where they were before. "Ugh, you will not believe what that sleaze-ball from Ralph Lauren did too me!"

Jasper, Monty, Raven, Wick, Clarke and Bellamy all point to their lips to get Octavia to once again notice the ink on her lip. Octavia blinks, taking a step back and looks at them with amazement. "Okay-okay that-that's amazing. How did you know that?"

Bellamy stands up, grabbing a rag and wetting it.

"You got ink on your lip, sweetie." Clarke says.

Octavia blinks, arms now having no strength in them whatsoever and Bellamy dabs the ink to her lip and holds out the blue stain for her to see.

"Oh." Octavia says, closing her eyes being that she finally realized what he was trying to say. "Ohhhhhhhhh…."

Octavia comes back again, still feeling humiliated but Bellamy had said "Third times the charm" so she's trying. Get knocked down, get back up. Lincoln and her always told each other that, a promise that swore to keep with one another and today wasn't going to be the day Octavia let him down.

So, with a big breath, she opens the door to his office.

"Ah, first, I-I would like to say thank you for agreeing to see me again." She says, trying to get off to a good start when she meets his eye. She unwrinkles her skirt, sitting down on the chair in front of his desk and smiles softly.

"That's quite all right, but I feel obligated to tell you that this meeting is being videotaped." He says.

Octavia tries not to chuckle at that, looking around for a camera until she sees his worried look and she stops. "Okay. Umm, well, first I would like to start by apologizing for kissing you on the cheek and uh, for yelling at you."

"Fair enough."

Octavia clears her throat and does what Bellamy does, he does a speech and he has to make it emotional. "Now you're probably going to hire one of the people who did not ah, who did, who did not umm, yell at you and storm out, and I think that's a big mistake and here's why. I made a huge fool of myself and I came back, that shows courage. When I thought you wanted sex in exchange for this job, I said no. That shows integrity. And, I was not afraid to stand up for myself and that shows courage." She stops herself, realizing that she said courage twice. "Okay umm, now I know I already said courage, but y'know you gotta have courage. And umm, and finally when I thought you were making sexual advances in the workplace, I said no and I was not litigious. So there you go, you got, you got," She counts them off with her fingers, "courage, you got integrity, you got-" She pauses. "courage again, and not litigious. Look Mr…"

"Zelner."

"Zelner! Right! I knew that! I really, really want this job and I think, I think I would be really good at it. I'm sorry for that terrible speech; my brother's better at that."

He raises an amused eyebrow before he sighs, "Y'know what? I may regret this but...I'm going to give you a shot."

Octavia gasps, stopping her squeal by cupping her mouth with her hand, "You are?"

"Um-hmm."

"Really?! Oh thank you! Oh… Oh, would it be completely inappropriate to give you a hug?" Octavia asks.

"Yes." He says quickly which makes her laugh nervously.

"Okay, well then how about a handshake?" She's already up, reaching over to shake his hand but he stands up as well and she misses...ultimately leading to her touching his groin. "Oh God I'm sorry! Oh God, I'm sorry! I did not mean to touch that—I mean you there. There. Uhh, okay, so thank-thank you, I'm going to leave now thank you very much uh-huh, thank you so—Hey! I'll see you Monday!" And she leaves.

She supposes this could be added to the rest of the stories that are humiliating in her life.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed. I know it was kind of short and didn't have any bellarke but the next chapter will have it. I'm debating whether it should be The One With All The Poker or The One With Clarke's Big Kiss. Tell me which one you would like to see more. As for when the next chapter will be posted, it wont be posted on the weekends like it usually is because I'm going to Miami and am going to a party with five friends and a bunch of family members so I wont be posting anything Saturday or Sunday. I just wanted to post this one before I left so you guys wouldn't be waiting for my next one. Hopefully I get the next chapter done quickly but I'm not done with it yet so I'm struggling quite a bit. But, even though you didn't have your daily dosage of regular fluffy bellarke it WILL be soon to come. I assure you. Later chapters are going to be very fluffy and filled with cute moments. Anyway, have a great day! Reviews are appreciated! -Phantom4747
