Our People (the Third Book of the Her Weakness series)

Chapter 104

Lexa's POV

"Raven is my girlfriend," Octavia says.

There is a pause and Octavia and Raven look more nervous the more time Bellamy does not talk. It feels like it is an hour before he finally speaks. When he does he just asks, "Are you happy?"

"Yes. Yeah, I really am." Octavia says, giving Raven a loving look that has her melting and kissing Octavia's hand that is holding hers.

"Good. I'm guessing she's with you right now." Bellamy says.

"She is," Octavia responds hesitantly. "She can hear you."

"Hey Bellamy." Raven says cheerfully, her face giving away her nerves.

"Raven. I know you're a good person and personally, I think you're a good match for O but I still have to give you the big brother talk."

I am sure I look confused again, so I mouth "the big brother talk?" to Clarke, who just kisses my hand, giving me a soft smile. I guess I will find out soon enough.

"Raven, if you ever hurt her no one will ever find your body." Bellamy warns.

"That's fair." Raven shrugs, not looking particularly concerned about that. "Same goes for you, Bell."

"I wouldn't expect anything less." Bellamy says warmly. "I can threaten- I mean talk to you more when you get back from your traveling. Good luck with O, she's a handful."

"So am I. We're perfect for each other." Raven winks at Octavia, who looks absolutely enamored with her.

"That's true." Bellamy laughs. "How long has this been going on?"

"Um. Since Polis." Octavia replies.

"Polis? And you're only now telling me?" He sounds insulted.

"We kept putting it off. We remembered how you reacted with Lincoln and we were nervous." Raven explains.

"This is different. I know you. Plus, he was part of the 'enemy'." Bellamy reasons. "But really? Since Polis? What, did you make out during the festival or something?" Raven and Octavia blush and do not respond. "You did, didn't you? Okay, I didn't need to know that."

"You asked." Raven points out.

"Ugh. That's not the point. Anyway, I heard Clarke talking about the places you've been, but how do you guys like it? I know Raven has some new toys, we got word from the Azgeda along with a ton of parts. We had to build an extension on your workshop to store it all."

"Oh, Azgeda was incredible. In the small town, we had a team snowball fight against Clarke and Lexa as well as the guards!"

"They lost." Clarke speaks loud enough for Bellamy to hear.

"Hey, if the contest was to see who could get the most snow on them we won by a landslide." Raven says. "But that isn't why I love Azgeda. They had this entire room full of various technology that they had found over time. Oh my god, it was beautiful." Raven sighs wistfully.

"Well, you should have enough stuff back here to last you a decade or two." Bellamy says.

"Good. But you know what I found in there?" Raven asks, practically bouncing on the couch.

"No, but I have a feeling you'll tell me."

"A freaking BAZOOKA!" Raven shouts excitedly.

"Oh no."

"Oh yes. Man, its almost as beautiful as Octavia." Raven groans out and Octavia blushes, looking pleasantly surprised. "Great, now I want to blow things up."

"Babe no." Octavia says semi-sternly.

"Babe yes." Raven squirms in her seat, looking like an overexcited puppy. "I'll go out somewhere Luna says is safe. But I want to see an explosion. Boom!"

"Raven." Bellamy's voice filters through the walkie talkie. For a moment, I forgot that he is listening. "If you blow up my sister, I'll blow you up too."

"I wouldn't do anything to hurt Octavia." Raven says seriously. "Hey, I think I have safety goggles for your pretty eyes." Raven taps Octavia's nose with her free hand, making them both break out into wide smiles.

Bellamy makes exaggerated gagging sounds. "Ugh. You guys are so cute together it's disgusting."

"Oh, shut up Bell." Octavia responds immediately, still smiling. The way she and Raven are looking at each other make me feel as though I am seeing the 'heart eyes' they say I make at Clarke. "You're just jealous because you don't have a girlfriend and I do."

He is quiet for a moment. "Actually..." He trails off.

"What?" Octavia practically screeches. "You're dating someone? Who? Do I know them?"

"Remember Echo?" Bellamy asks, his soft tone telling me that he must really like her.

"The Azgeda girl you saw in the Maunon (Mountain Men) cages?" Octavia shakes her head. "I'm not surprised. You wouldn't shut up about her for weeks after we got the Skaikru prisoners back. I had to stop you from running straight to Azgeda to find her."

"Hey, I could have!"

"Bell, that was back when Nia was Queen. You would have been killed as soon as you stepped foot on Azgeda territory." Octavia says matter-of-factly. "Are you happy with her?"

"I am. She knows how to put me in my place, knock some sense into me. Oh, speak of the devil."

A woman's voice comes in. "Bellamy? Why are you speaking of devils?"

"It's an expression, babe." Bellamy explains.

"Call me babe again and there will be no sex for a week." The woman who must be Echo threatens.

"Ew." Octavia wrinkles her nose.

"Sorry, O." Bellamy says.

"You are talking to your sister?" Echo asks. Bellamy doesn't verbally respond, so I think he nodded.

"Hey, Echo. Time for the sister talk." Octavia says loudly. "You hurt Bellamy, I'll kill you. Got it?"

"Octavia..." Bellamy sighs.

"What? You got to do it to my girlfriend, I get to do it to yours."

"I will not intentionally hurt him." Echo assures Octavia.

"I hear you've been keeping Bellamy in line. Nice job." Octavia praises.

"I keep him from doing anything stupid, if that is what you mean."

"Yup. Okay, I think we're going to explore the town soon Bellamy and before that I want to have hot sex with my girlfriend."

"Octavia!" Bellamy cries out, horrified.

"That's how it felt to hear your girlfriend talking about your sex life. Bye, Bell. Love you! Talk to you soon!"

"Bye O. Love you too."
