Chapter Text
"I can't believe I let you drag me to this thing." I mutter angrily. Raven looks at me impatiently.
"C'mon Clarke. It's been nearly a month. Wells was and definitely is not worth your tears. Let lose! Have Fun!" She all but screams into my face and I nod in defeat.
"Good. Now imma go get wastey. Come find me when you're fun" she sends me a wink before disappearing into the crown of teenagers. So much for knowing someone at this thing.
I find my way to the drinks station and a shot is placed in front of me. I look questioningly at the clear liquid before closing my eyes and throwing my head back. My throat burns as the liquid travels down it and I shudder. I hear a chuckle and I open my eyes.
"Not much of a drinker are you, Princess?"
The guy in front of me is tall, dark and handsome. His dark hair flops over his forehead and I see laughter in his brown eyes. His lips turned up into a smirk.
"Not really." I admit and he smiles.
"Then why are you?" He asks motioning to the empty shot glass in my hand. I follow his eyes and look at it. Seeing the reflection of a memory dance in its glass.
"I'm trying to forget." I answer and his smile changes to one of understanding.
"Who am I to stand in the way of forgetting?" he laughs and does a miniature salute before he too disappears into the sea of teenagers. I turn back to the table and down a few more shots.

I don't know how many shots I ended up drinking but I feel good. That is until I see him. Faster than I thought possible for someone in heels I turn and run in the opposite direction. I hear someone calling my name but I don't stop until I reach the living room. I try to get further into the people to hide but someone grabs my arm.
"What's the rush, Princess?" I deep voice asks and I find myself looking into a familiar pair of brown eyes.
"I need you to do something for me." I hear myself say and he gives me a curious look.
"Well actually two things." I add. He nods slowly and I start talking again.
"First, what's your name?" He laughs.
"Bellamy." I look up at him.
"It suits you." I say getting a tad distracted. He smirks and I take a quick look around the room. I spot Wells heading towards me and I feel my body stiffen. Bellamy must too because he suddenly pulls my attention back to him.
"What's the second thing?" He asks his face inches from mine so he can hear me over the music. I take a deep breath.
"Kiss me." It comes out so fast I don't know if he understood or not but I can tell by his expression he did.
"Does this have something to do with the angry looking guy heading towards us right now?" I feel his breath on my cheek when he talks and I nod quickly.
He nods in understanding again and then slowly lowers his face towards me. Our lips meet and my hands automatically move into his hair and grab hold. I feel his arms wrap around my waist and pull me into him so our whole bodies are touching. His tongue grazes my lips as if asking for permission and I grant it. Our mouths move as one and I completely lose myself in the kiss.
Slowly Bellamy breaks away, keeping one hand cupped around my face. His thumb slowly strokes my cheek and I stare at him for a moment. Suddenly remembering where I am I look around and notice Wells is gone. I turn back to Bellamy and give him a small smile.
"Thank you, Bellamy" my voice is croaky from the kiss and I feel my cheeks go red.
"My pleasure, Princess." he winks and my face increases in heat.
