A/N Okay everyone I'm a little late but the Womens World Cup had me sucked in yesterday lol but here is the next chapter. It's kind of a filler chapter including another hit of jealousy between the two girls. Trust me they will work it out with a little more time but it will be leading up to this girls night I have planned between the two stories. Enjoy! xoxoxo
Octavia wasn't sure what to expect walking out of Clarke's apartment with Raven. She finally admitted her feelings and Raven admitted to having them as well and if they weren't interrupted Octavia could almost guarantee she wouldn't have stopped. She pretty much was so caught up she didn't even hear Clarke walk through the door till Raven stopped kissing her. She was frustrated and not even from the lack of sex but from being so turned on by Raven it was killing her. Just sitting in Clarke's apartment leaning against Raven she swore she could feel the heat radiating into her body from the girl. They had sat and listened to Clarke's crazy story about having to deal with the return of Echo and Lexa's burst of anger. She also had shared the tidbit she found out about Echo supposedly using Lexa for her money and how she walked away only to get chased down by Lexa. They both agreed with Clarke to stick with Lexa because they both liked her and they believed Lexa had mutual feelings as well. Plus it was the first time they had seen Clarke extremely happy since the accident and break up.
Octavia watched Raven shut the door and turn towards her and all she could was smile when she seen Raven look her up and down. She was happy that it wasn't just a one way thing. She didn't know how or when Raven had found her feelings for herself but she planned on finding out just how long it was.
"Sooooo….." Octavia stood waiting for Raven to say something.
"Can I walk you home?" Raven asked not sure where they should go from there.
"Sure but you do know it would be going out of your way by a few blocks right?" Octavia set and even pace for them to walk too.
"Not a problem, I have to be the one making sure you get home safe." Raven laughed knowing what was going to come next.
"Excuse me I can take care of myself. Do you not remember I take kickboxing classes and self defense classes." Octavia turned slightly offended but then she seen Raven smiling.
"Really you just had to go there?" Octavia laughed knowing Raven already knew how to get to her.
"I can't help it you're cute when you get all feisty." Raven blushed looking at the ground while saying it.
"You think I am cute?" Octavia used Raven's words back on her.
"Really Octavia you do know my taste in women and if I remember right I have soooo many of them that want me. I think I proved back there with you on the counter that I think you are cute. I might even think more than that." Raven bumped shoulders with the girl.
"Ughhh you and your fan club of women." Octavia rolled her eyes not even wanting to think of it.
"Yeah which reminds me I should probably check my phone. I think I have a date tomorrow." Raven laughed when she felt her phone get snatched out of her hand.
"I don't think so." Octavia shoved Ravens phone in her pocket.
"You can't just hold my phone hostage Octavia." Raven tried to hide her smile on the fact that Octavia was spilling her jealousy again.
"Yes I can or I can until you figure out this whole fan club of girlfriend thing." Octavia gave her a dead shot stare.
"What would you like me to do?" Raven asked just as serious because it was all new to them she knew a label wouldn't be coming anytime soon.
"I don't know blow them off or something?" Octavia shrugged her shoulders pulling out Ravens phone looking at it.
"Are you going to go out with that Brandi girl?" Octavia asked in a low voice. She wasn't use to being jealous or threatened by another girl.
"I don't know she did ask me to hang out." Raven waited to see what Octavia had to say about it.
"Do you not want me too?" Raven couldn't help but ask when Octavia stayed silent.
"I can't tell you what to do Raven." Octavia tapped on Ravens phone seeing she had text from both Elliot and Brandi.
"Looks like both of your girlfriends want you." Octavia tossed her phone back at Raven.
"I am sure if we look at yours Lincoln is on it." Raven tried to defend herself.
"I called things off with Lincoln. I told you this during whatever that was between us back there." Octavia shot back.
"Octavia you need to give me something. Do I go on a date or not? I'm asking you right now." Raven grabbed her by the shoulder so they were face to face looking at each other.
"Raven I don't…." she was interrupted by her phone going off. She pulled it out seeing it was Lincoln's name she tried to kill the tone and get it back in her pocket but Raven snatched it before she got that far.
"See Lincoln…" Raven held the phone up before tossing it back at her.
"You can't even give me an answer Octavia. I am not asking for a relationship I am just asking for clarification on where and what this is." Raven turned to start walking again.
"He's probably calling to see how things went." Octavia stomped catching up with her friend.
"Suureee whatever you say O." Raven rolled her eyes not even being able to believe how stupid she got by asking if she shouldn't go on a date with some other girl.
"I told him about you Raven don't you remember that." Octavia almost yelled it at her.
"Yeah and if I remember right you said he told you the option with him was still open." Raven stopped again to face her.
"How is it that things go from great with us to bullshit in like a matter of 5 minutes." Raven pulled out her phone to prove a point.
"What are you doing?" Octavia stopped watching Raven go to type something in her phone.
"I'm accepting the date offer so you don't have to worry about it anymore." Raven held up the phone showing what she had typed in.
"No you're not, not with Brandi or Elliot!" Octavia grabbed for the phone but Raven was quicker as she jogged down the stairs hearing Octavia follow her.
"Raven…." Octavia jumped on her back trying to get the phone from her.
"Octavia really…" Raven balanced her weight along with Octavia's on her back letting her phone drop rather than Octavia.
"Yes really Raven…. you are not accepting that date." Octavia pretty much vice gripped her body around Ravens.
"God you are such a pain in my ass." Raven said trying to get Octavia off of her.
"I refuse to let go if you try and pick up that phone Raven." by this time Octavia was laughing feeling Raven try and maneuver out of her grip.
"What are you like a monkey?" Raven couldn't help but laugh now that they were turning in circles fighting each other. Till finally Raven bumped the wall with her back having Octavia drop her grip letting her feet hit the floor.
"Don't do it Raven." Octavia warned her as they both stood about the same length away from the phone.
"It's my phone Octavia." Raven pointed.
"I'll stomp on it." Octavia couldn't help but laugh seeing Ravens face drop in shock.
"Then I won't have a way to talk to you either." Raven cocked an eyebrow at her.
"I know where you live." Octavia shot back.
"I'm picking up my phone. You will be lucky if it's not broke because a new one will be coming out of your pocket." Raven stepped forward watching Octavia take a step forward as well.
"O I'm serious back off." Raven held up her hand like in warning as she stepped forward again.
"Raven I am serious you are not sending that text, there will be no dates between you and Brandi or Elliot." Octavia inched forward each time Raven did.
"Like there will be no dates between you and Lincoln right?" Raven watched her expression as she bent down quickly to grab her phone. She was excited when she picked it up laughing but she was caught off guard when she felt her shirt get pulled in and Octavia crashed her lips against hers.
"Mmmm…" is all Raven could get out feeling Octavia deepen the kiss letting their tongues fight for dominance before she was let go just as quickly as the kiss had started.
"HA…" Octavia waved Ravens phone at her.
"What the hell." Raven looked to her hands and then back at the girl.
"Delete… delete…. delete… " Octavia smiled tossing the phone back at Raven.
"Octavia…." Raven caught the phone on a march after her.
"What Raven I said no dates…." Octavia turned around walking backwards down the street.
"When do we follow your rules, I just asked you…." Raven trailed off watching Octavia smile at her with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
"You asked me what…" Octavia stopped almost making them run into each other.
"Are you jealous?" Raven smirked.
"What…" Octavia dropped her expression.
"You're jealous, that totally explains it. You just admitted earlier you don't like being jealous it was a first for you and here you go again getting jealous at me going on a date with another girl." Raven smiled pushing on her shoulder a bit as she walked around her.
"If you go on a date with one of those girls I will just make dinner plans with Lincoln." Octavia spit out watching Raven stop and turn around.
"Ohhh is that how this is going to be?" Raven stepped back towards her gesturing between the two of them.
"Yup." Octavia stood her ground knowing she was completely wrong.
"Why can't you just admit that you don't want me going on a date with someone else." Raven asked.
"It's not about…. look Raven you get enough attention as is and I have to compete with that right now when I don't even know what I want… when I don't even know what you want like how am I supposed to even approach a date with you when you have a thousand options." Octavia stopped when she realized she was rambling and Raven was smiling.
What?" Octavia snapped at her a little.
"Octavia will you go out on a date with me?" Raven smirked watching Octavia's jaw drop and then the girl blushed a little.
"Really Raven…." Octavia couldn't stop herself from smiling.
"Really Octavia… I mean if it's a no I could always text one of my other options." Raven pretended to pull out her phone.
"No..I mean.. yes Raven I will go out on a date with you." Octavia smiled pulling the brunette in for a hug before she decided to prove her point on the no dating rule.
"Good luck on those other options because I deleted there numbers." Octavia whispered in Raven's ear before she pulled back from the hug .
"What… you're kidding me right." Raven pulled out her phone flipping through it.
"Next to go are those pictures Raven." Octavia winked as she made her way up the stairs to her own apartment.
"Don't act like you don't have pictures of some dudes up in your phone." Raven chased after her up the stairs meeting her in the doorway.
"I don't they are just of me…. " Octavia trailed off watching Raven's jaw almost drop open.
"Let me see your phone I want proof." Raven smiled holding her hand out.
"Nice try you should work on that swagger." Octavia winked like she was going to shut her door.
Raven put her foot in the doorway stopping it from closing before she grabbed Octavia by the waist pulling her in hard to push their bodies together before she closed the distance between there lips. She could feel Octavia go from shocked to relaxed in seconds. She let her hands drop low grabbing Octavia's ass lifting her up off the ground hearing Octavia moan almost made her weak in the knees she dropped her back down stepping away smiling.
"How's that for swagger." Raven smiled biting her lip as she walked away leaving Octavia in her doorway laughing when she heard the door slam.
Octavia woke to her phone ringing. She wanted to kill whoever it was for waking her up from a very amazing dream involving Raven and that good night kiss. Reaching for the phone she seen it was her best friend Clarke.
"Hello" Octavia answered.
"Well hello to you to grumpy pants." Clarke laughed into the phone.
Octavia could hear talking in the background along with laughing.
"Who is with you?" Octavia asked sitting up.
"Ohhh it's just Lexa she stayed the night last." Clarke laughed again.
"When the hell did she come over because I know we left late." Octavia rolled over in her bed refusing to get up right away.
"It was after you left and then I had freaking…. it was just after that." Octavia heard the hesitation and cover in Clarke's voice she planned on finding out what that was about.
"Well at least one of us is getting some." Octavia laughed.
"What after seeing you two on my counter I figured." Clarke let the sentence trail off.
"Yeah yeah you figured wrong." Octavia laughed thinking about it.
"Okay well do you want to meet me at the gym in about an hour it's been forever and I could use a good workout." Octavia heard Clarke laugh and then hit something in the background.
"Ewww okay I don't know what is going on right now in the background but yes I will meet you at the gym in an hour." Octavia laughed hanging up on Clarke not even wanting to know what was going on with her best friend but it was great to hear her laughing again.
Octavia flipped through her messages seeing the missed call from Lincoln wondering what it was about she decided she would give him a call later and instead she clicked on Raven to text her.
Octavia: Good morning and fyi you are evil.
She couldn't help but smile when she got an immediate reply.
Raven: Good morning to you as well =) and what did I do to become evil.
Octavia: You can't just kiss me goodnight like that and then leave me.
Raven laughed she had a feeling that's what it was going to be about.
Raven: Well the only way that could have changed is if you let me stay the night.
Octavia rolled her eyes at the reply tapping her phone thinking of what to say when she got another message.
Raven: I can't help it if I'm irresistible.
Raven started laughing as she was getting off the treadmill from the gym. She was the only one who ever hit the gym this early plus she was the only one with classes left till break was over.
Octavia: Well see Raven I guess you will never know about staying the night since you never asked nor did you follow through. ;)
Octavia laughed hoping off her bed to look for her gym clothes when she heard a beep again thinking that it was an even faster reply and her jaw dropped. It was a picture of Raven standing in the gym mirror sweaty and almost naked holding her towel up with a caption saying "Care to join me". Octavia stared at the picture for awhile not even sure how to reply.
Octavia: Once again you are evil.
Raven: Hahahaha
Octavia: Payback is a bitch Raven.
Octavia turned and headed for the shower, even if she was going to sweat her ass off at the gym a cold one was needed now.
Raven laughed at the back and forth between them and even if payback's were a bitch she was kind of looking forward to whatever Octavia planned on throwing her way. She knew the girl was fit and gorgeous and she could kiss better than any other girl she has kissed before. Seeing a picture of her or even more wouldn't bother Raven at all.
"Hey you." Raven jumped hearing someone behind her in the locker room.
"Ohhh hey Brandi." Raven smiled not sure what to say.
"You never text me back the other night?" Raven heard the girl ask thinking on what to say.
"Yeah I'm sorry just a lot going on with a couple of my friends right now with relationships and stuff." Raven tried to give her best smile she could.
"No worries you can just make it up to me one day." Raven watched the girl walk forward letting her finger run down her arm and then past her giving her a wink.
"Ohhhh my god." Raven sat down thinking to herself as she put her head in her hands.
"Well well well Raven." Clarke laughed leaning against the locker watching what just happened.
"You seen that?" Raven stood up wide eyes thinking Clarke was going to bust her out.
"I did see that. Looks like you got another one on your hands Raven you better watch that swagger you got passing around." Clarke laughed bumping shoulders with her friend.
"What the hell am I going to do?" Raven asked stripping down out of her clothes quickly trying to scramble around her stuff.
"Calm down. It's not like O can expect every girl in the world to leave you alone." Clarke sat down to change.
"Clarke you have no idea how Octavia is when she is jealous. She deleted two numbers out of my phone last night due to me saying I was going to go on a date." Raven smirked thinking about the night before.
"I can't see Octavia being like that." Clarke spoke turning her head to meet Raven's eyes.
"Ohhh trust me Octavia has a side…." Raven got interrupted.
"Octavia what…" Octavia knew she had just walked in on some girl talk.
"Ohhh look who it is." Clarke laughed.
"Yeah it's me… now what were you two talking about?" Octavia asked giving Raven a look over due to the fact that she had less on than before.
"Ohhh nothing special." Raven looked at Octavia smirking as she watched the girl check her out.
"Mmhmm Clarke are you ready to workout or what?" Octavia turned giving Raven a sly look.
"I'm about to shower if you want to join me." Raven smiled at Octavia watching her stop in her tracks to second guess the option.
"Ohh my god please stop." Clarke stood up putting her hands on Octavia's shoulders and pushed her out the door.
"Your loss Octavia." Raven yelled letting the girl know what she was missing out on.
Octavia and Clarke hit the elliptical's going over there usual girl talk. They started off with how Raven and her got into a small argument over the girls in Raven's phone along with all the picture she receives.
"You do realize women are still going to want her right O." Clarke asked feeling the sweat finally start to drip.
"It's not about women wanting her Clarke, it's about how they can't keep there hands off her. Like it drives me nuts watching all these girls just feel her up 24/7" Octavia lifted her hands in the air.
"Well I don't know O I mean you really can't tell her to stop it's not like you are putting a label on anything just yet or are you?" Clarke asked waiting for an answer.
"No no no it's way too early for that but do you think it's wrong of me to ask her to not go on dates until we figure out what this is if it's anything more than sexual attraction." Octavia turned to see if she was being completely irrational.
"No I mean well… see if you two were having sex then I would get it but until then Raven can actually see whoever she wants." Clarke shrugged her shoulders not sure how to help.
"So you and Lexa haven't had sex so would it be okay for her to just I don't know take some girl out on a date maybe even Echo." Octavia decided to use the scenario on Clarke.
"Uhhh fuck no.. that will never happen." Clarke spoke up quickly.
"Okay then I should be good to figure out some kind of ground rules then." Octavia almost wanted to pat herself on the back with her choice when she seen Raven heading out of the showers being stopped by Brandi. The girl used her finger to lift Raven's chin and make her smile. Octavia was pissed like two seconds into their conversation and she didn't even know what was being said. She could just see Brandi touching and laughing trying to entice Raven. From her view she didn't see Raven fully buying into the act and then she watched Brandi jump up into Raven's arms giving her a hug.
"What the fuck…. are you seeing this?" Octavia said out loud stopping her machine.
"Octavia.. you have no idea what got said." Clarke watched the whole thing go down as well thinking that if it was Lexa she probably would have stormed over there by now.
"This is going to stop…." Octavia went to step off the machine when Clarke stopped her.
"You can't do this here in the middle of the gym and plus she is headed this way." both Octavia and Clarke just stood up quietly on their machines letting Brandie walk by with both of them over hearing the girl gush about how cute Raven was and that she couldn't believe they were going to hang out.
"Hang out…. please tell me you just heard that?" Octavia stepped off the machine.
"Octavia once again you don't know anything.." Clarke tried to reason with her friend.
"Clarke I am going to know everything." Octavia huffed heading towards the boxing bag.
"Geez Raven was right about you being a whole different woman when you are jealous." Clarke followed quickly behind her when she felt her phone beep.
"Clarke really…." Octavia started to hit the bag watching her friend stop and smiled at her phone.
"Ohh my god if you are going to smile at commander heart eyes texting you the whole time you are here you can leave." Octavia started to punch the bag even harder getting pissed off thinking about Brandi being all hands on with Raven again.
"Okay Octavia I love you but I have to leave. How about we plan a girls night out or something where we all can hang out even Lexa. I want all of us to actually get to know each other." Clarke pretty much beamed.
"Whatever you say Clarke" Octavia had a image of Brandi's head on the bag as she started to duck left and right hitting the bag at angles now as her friend took off for the locker room.
Octavia kept at the bag for another good 20min when she heard a familiar voice step up behind her.
"Woahhh trying to kill something or someone?" Octavia stopped seeing Lincoln standing in the gym.
"Ughh no just frustrated. Having more problems to solve rather than less." Octavia smiled hitting him in the shoulder.
"Awww I see well I am headed out of here if you want to grab something to eat or some coffee what do you say?" Lincoln smiled at her and even with Raven occupying her mind she needed a distraction for now.
"Sure food sounds great, let me change." Octavia waved jogging back into the locker room.
Raven smiled at her phone skimming her conversation with Octavia this morning. She couldn't get the girl out of her head lately. She wouldn't have complained at all if Octavia had joined her in the shower at the gym but she knew it would have been a bad idea, hearing her phone beep she hoped it was Octavia but she seen Clarke's name instead.
Clarke: We're going to be planning a girls night out be prepared.
Raven: Okay sweet do you know when, because I have a few things planned.
Clarke: I'll let you know and btw if those plans involve Brandi you better text Octavia first because she overheard about your hang out with the girl and you were correct Octavia jealous is a whole different woman.
Raven: When did this go down?
Clarke: At the gym right after you left. I am surprised Octavia didn't knock her head off.
Raven: Great looks like I will be explaining myself. Thanks for the warning.
Clarke: No problem see you soon.
Raven decided to head out and grab some coffee before she headed to class. She hated that taking engineering meant she had extra classes even on breaks. It sucked be one of like 30 students still having to head on campus. Making her way out of her apartment she headed down the street second guessing if she should walk to Octavia's first but then she decided against it maybe it was time to get her a little room to let her cool off even though she didn't know the story. Brandi had asked her to hang out with some friends at a local bar and to bring a few friends as well so little did she know she planned on asking Octavia first. Hoping maybe it could be like a prerun type of date for them she was actually excited to take the girl out and show her off a little. Turning the corner she heard her phone ring pulling it out it was an unknown number… hmmm Raven didn't know it so she hit deny and looked up to see no other then Octavia and Lincoln walking out the coffee shop. Lincoln had his arm wrapped around Octavia laughing. She told herself not to worry about it but when Lincoln leaned in and kissed Octavia on the side of her head it had Raven pissed. She wanted to confront the girl but she knew better than that she wasn't that type of person. Hearing her phone go off again she seen the same unknown number… she paused before looking up and seeing Octavia turn her head to her obvious ringtone and spot her standing on the corner. She watched the girl stop and turn around like she was going to walk towards her with a guilty face like she just got caught.
"Raven…" Octavia yelled trying to get her attention.
Raven just stood there stuck for a few seconds looking at the unknown number and then back up to Octavia who was now looking at Lincoln saying something before turning back walking towards Raven.
"Octavia don't bother" Raven raised her hand to keep the distance between them glancing back at Lincoln who was just watching.
"Maybe this was a mistake…" Raven watched the hurt flood Octavia's eyes making her stop walking and it killed her. She refused to play the back and forth game with her. It was known she was pissed about Brandi and so she runs off with Lincoln. This wasn't a game especially not when it came to feelings. She knew better than to do the whole straight girl thing.
"Raven I didn't…." Octavia attempted to reach forward to grab Raven's hand and she was cut off again.
"Don't Octavia…. I can't do this with you." Raven turned and walked away not looking back.
Octavia watched Raven storm off the other way and she had no idea what to do. She didn't know if she should chase after her or give her time. She was stuck in place wondering exactly what just happened and then she turned to see Lincoln waiting for her and it clicked.
"Shit..." is all Octavia could say.
A/N I know I know pushing all the jealousy buttons but it's only going to push them forward to work this out. So how will Octavia explain right along with how will Raven explain... is it going to be a back and forth match again or will some one walk away. The girls night out should be interesting... Thanks for all the support and don't forget to review. xoxoxo
