Thanks again for reading :)
Bellamys life gradually began to fall back into a pattern, after moving Octavia back home and getting her settled back in, four years of Octavia living in the dorms at TonDC it took a bit of readjusting especially as Octavia as not starting work until the new term and it was his turn to take the night shift for a month or so.
He had lived by himself for 4 years he was used to a certain routine; Octavia however was never one for routine. One week was her breaking point
"Bell" Octavia yelled knocking on Bellamys bedroom door, he looked at his phone to check the time. He had only got home from a 10 hour shift at 6.30am and it was currently 8am
"Bell" Octavia knocked again "I'm coming in whether you are decent or not"
Bellamy looked up and rubbed his hand through his hair and down is face in a vain attempt at trying to wake himself up his bedroom door swung open and Octavia walked in covering her eyes with one hand, she peeked through her fingers and he raised an eyebrow
"What the hell do you want O? I literally got home an hour and a half ago" Octavia dropped her charade, and put her hands on her hips
"Bell, I am bored. You can't keep me locked up in the house all day"
"I'm not keeping you locked up" Bellamy sighed, he really was not awake enough for this conversation
"Well I am stuck here all day because you are sleeping and I don't really know anyone to hang out with. It's not like I kept in touch with anyone from High School..."
Bellamy cut her off "O, I am tired. You are not chained up in here go out, walk Toni, get a coffee, join a band for all that I care just let me sleep"
Octavia smirked at him "Join a band huh"
"O" He said warningly
"I know let you sleep" she started to back out of the door just as she was about to close the door she added "I'm taking money out of your wallet"
"O" he yelled through the door as she heard her laughing on the other side Lying down in his bed he fell back to sleep.
—B&C—
Bellamy awoke to an empty house at 2pm, clearly Octavia had taken Toni out somewhere. He flicked on the TV to the history channel and went about making something for lunch. He sat down on the couch and took a look around, Octavia had cleaned the house inside out no wonder she was bored. He continued to eat and watch the history channel. Octavia having done all the house work he had time to veg out.
Octavia returned at around 4 walking in the door and letting Toni off her leash which resulted in Toni barrelling into the lounge room and throwing herself on Bellamy
"Hey there girl" He cooed ad Toni wiggled herself onto her back so he could scratch her belly "O tske you out?" He looked up at Octavia as she walked into the room "So what did you two do with yourselves today?"
"We went exploring" Octavia sat down next to him "checked out the old town, there is a couple of new shops, went out to the dog park but Toni didn't really like it there very much" she looked down at a very content Toni and patted her "I saw this new club, The Dropship?" She raised an eyebrow at Bellamy "Heard of it"
"No Octavia, I am a police officer and I have not heard of what is apparently the most popular club/pub in town" He looked at her with sarcasm
"Well" She continued "We should totally go there, or you should go there at least Bell, you never go out"
He shook his head "O, I am on night shift and when I am not on shift I don't really want to go out at the moment"
Octavia sighed and looked at him trying the puppy dog eyes, even Toni was looking at him at the point with her big eyes. He was totally outnumbered by girls
"Fine" he relented "but not until I get off night shift"
A grin broke out on Octavia face "awesome, now" she slapped her thighs and started to get up getting Toni's attention in the progress "what you thinking for dinner?"
She walked in to the kitchen Toni on her heels leaving Bellamy on the couch, what had he gotten himself into?
—B&C—
A few weeks later the first Saturday Bellamy was back on day shifts Octavia came bouncing into the Lounge room where he was vacuuming , He raised an eyebrow at her "O" he questioned "Whats up?"
Octavia had been in and out lately, she had reconnected with a couple of friends of hers from High School Atom and Monroe but that did not explain her current mood
"Do you know what today is?" She asked him with a smile
"Uhh Saturday" Bellamy turned off the vacuum to look at her questionably
"The first Saturday since you have been off night shift" She bounced a little "Were going out!"
"Really O?"
"Yep and you are going to drink and have fun, invite whoever you want but be ready to go at 9"
Bellamy sighed and pulled out his phone, shooting a quick message to Miller his partner to meet him at The Dropship at 9. If he was going out with his sister he will need back up
—B&C—
Bellamy and Octavia arrived at The Dropship at around 9, it was pack with people drinking and dancing. They met Miller and Atom out the front greeting everyone briefly the headed inside to the bar. They started drinking and after a few drinks Bellamy was able to relax a little, sometimes it is hard of him to let loose in public and turn off the Police Officer persona, especially when he is around Octavia but she had enough people around her at the moment for her to be able to switch off.
He was starting to feel a pleasant buzz from the atmosphere, the drink and the conversation. He noticed that Octavia and Atom seemed closer than normal, he was not too impressed but he let it slide. He looked around the space looking at the dancers on the floor before noticing a pack of people dancing in the middle of the floor, a couple of guy and a couple of girl ones being blonde the other brunette. The blonde threw he head back in laugher and that made him smile, she was wearing a gorgeous black dress that hugged her curves he watched as she turned around dancing and her realised that he knew that blonde, it was the girl from the photo lab.
Throwing the last of his drink back and putting his glass back on the bar he started walking towards her, he could feel the pull towards her like he was stalking his pray he saw her pull her friend towards her and yell something in her ear, he caught her friends eye over her shoulder he nodded his head towards the blonde to make it clear who he was interested in, her friend pulled her close, said something to her and turned away.
He took the chance while he had it and sidled up behind her and ran his hand lightly down her arm, he felt her stop the tension between them building s she turned to him smiled looked up at him and said "Hi"
He couldn't help but smile back at her, clearly she was just as affected by him as she was her "Hey " he replied, he kept trailing his hand up and down her arm feeling her shiver he watched her as she took a step towards him pulling him down by his shirt and whispering "dance with me"
It like a fire was lit inside him as he felt her moving against him, her hands wondering over his chest as he ran his hands from her arm over her curves and around her waist, needing her closer to him he turned her in his arms pulling her to his chest his hands wanting holding onto her hips as she they danced together he felt her throw her arm up and around his neck and ground into him, he could barely handle the tension anymore he growled into her exposed shoulder he was so close to taking and kissing her when he felt a hand grab his arm and pull.
He turned to face Octavia looking at him with panic in her eyes "Bell we have to go"
He grimaced at her "Really O, now?"
"Seriously Bell we have to go" she tugged lightly at his arm, he looked back to the blond who was watching them with big eyes an unreadable expression on her face. He needs to get her name, he needs to speak to her, He takes a step back towards her before Octavia pulls at his arm again.
"Bell now, we have to go" Octavia is pulling him through crowd
"What's your name?" He yells at the blonde
She yells something at him but he can't hear it over the music
"I want to see you again" he yells as Octavia pulls him out the door and away from the blonde
—B&C—
The fresh air hits him like a slap in the face; he turns to face Octavia "What is so important O?"
"It's Atom" Octavia moves to show him Atom leaning heavily on Miller "We need to get him to a hospital"
The sound of her words sobers him up completely "I'll get a taxi, let's go"
