A Stupid Set-Up

Falling Slowly (And Awkwardly)

Clarke:

Clarke wrung her hands. She wasn't ready for this date. Of course, the first date she got on Ark Dating was with a guy who looked too good to be true. She thought back to his account...

Bellamy's number one interest is his sister. He grew up raising her and hasn't had much time for anything else. Now that Octavia is in college, he has more time and is looking for fun.

Ok. She'd admit, she had no idea what he meant by "fun" but he was the sexiest man she'd ever seen. She swore that it was probably a middle aged man and she would have to excuse herself and climb awkwardly out the bathroom window. Wouldn't be the first time. The last dating program she tried set her up with this guy named Wells. She shivered. He was attractive as hell, but he was the most uptight man she'd ever met and tried to convince her that she wasn't Bi. She shook her head and looked up to order a shot, hoping that this wouldn't be the longest night ever. Oh god. Oh god. He was there. And he was glorious. If she wasn't too busy staring, she'd laugh at herself for being so friggin' attracted to this man and calling him "glorious." It was hard to describe him as anything else. He wore a white button down, three of the top buttons undone, tucked into a pair of slacks. The white against his olive skin made the most fan-friggin-tastic contrast. He probably came from work, as it was 7:00pm on a Friday. She swallowed, feeling suddenly self-conscious about the paint splatters all over her arms that she tried to wash off without success. He smiled at her awkward blush and tilted his head, a curl of his dark hair falling over his eyes. "Hi" he whispered, obviously trying to surprise her. And it worked, he surprised her. So much that she fell out of her chair.
