That Stupid Contract
Hola mi gente,this is my first story ever and English is not my first language so please bear with me. After having written this myself, my respect for other writers,especially those who write fanfiction has increased a lot. How do you do this shit. It's really difficult and I underestimated it.
Feel free to point out anything in the comment section and I hope that you enjoy this story.
Disclaimer: I do not own the show or anyone in it. Unfortunately.
Meet Alexandria Woods.
I am currently driving my dad's favorite car; one of the nine ever built Lamborghini Veneno Roadsters at full speed through the streets of Dubai. I have a passion for outdoor sports; bungee jumping,jet skiing,kayaking,horseback riding you name it. Especially those in which I come face to face with death. I live life on the edge. I don't mean to brag,but I'm a total badass. A true Daredevil.
But that's not the reason why I'm currently driving like I'm being chased by 12 police cars. I'm driving like a maniac, because I am fucking angry.
*Flashback*
"You're not a kid anymore Lexa, you're 24 years old. It's time to grow up." Marcus yelled at his youngest and most spoiled daughter.
Marcus Woods is a business magnate who's very good at his job judging by the 86th spot on the Forbes Top 100 Billionaire's list he currently occupies. He got this far by working his ass off day and night. And yes having an already rich dad helped him in some ways,but people still consider him a self-made man,because he started from the bottom. He worked in a supermarket, in a flower shop, as a server,as a security guard and what not, just to get the feel of everything. According to him, this helped a lot,because he got to know customers and their wants in a more personal way which made him adapt his products,prices and others services to increase his companies' sales and that strategy clearly worked.
"You've completed your studies a year ago. I didn't say anything,because your mom and I thought that with time you would take on you responsibilities. But now it is as if that time will never come."He said standing up from the chair he was sitting on in the business conference room of the Burj Al Arab and walked over to Lexa.
"But dad, pops made money all his life,uncle Gustus,aunt indra and you are still making more money than 5000 people combined. Somebody's gotta spend it, so I've decided to take on that job. Isn't that responsible enough," Lexa said with a smirk.
"Alexandria Issabella Woods this is no time for your jokes," Marcus said getting frustrated.
"You had a year to come to one of our offices and you didn't even have to start from the bottom. No, you could have started as a CEO, but you didn't even ..."
"But," Lexa tried to interrupt but Marcus quickly continued.
"Your mom and I've decided that it is best that you start from the bottom in order to appreciate everything that you already have. You will work undercover as a personal assistant for my good friend's daughter who unlike you is very career driven," Marcus said dead serious.
"What the actual fuck ! A personal assistant! Me, Fucking Lexa Woods, daughter of one of the richest men on the planet! You must be fucking joking,"Lexa slammed her hand on the table in front of her, completely overtaken by anger.
"Mind your language little lady and yes that is exactly my point. You always only identify yourself as my daughter, I want you to create a name of your own, I need you to be a good leader who is smart,observant and at least a little bit compassionate if you ever want to take over the family business. And what better way than to learn by positioning yourself in the shoes of the people who will work under you," Marcus said a little calmer.
"That doesn't make any sense dad,just because you did all of that shit doesn't mean that I have to do it too.I'm outta here; call me when you're mentally stable again Dad."
* Flashback*
At first I thought that he would eventually just let it go and let me do whatever I want to like he always does,but an hour ago I was so embarrassed in the restaurant I had taken my friends for breakfast to.
*Flashback*
"Damn commander, you can seriously get any chick you want.I mean, only you can get 'The Costia' to have a friends with a lot of benefits relationship with you." Murphy high-fived Lexa.
"Yeah gurl,gotta agree with douchebag over here. You've got some serious skills" Lexa's day one Raven said.
"Aren't you afraid that one of you is going to fall for the other tho." Lincoln being the ever Lincoln commented. "I mean,that's what always happens in fwb situations right." He said while taking a sip of his water. "They fall in love."
Raved and Murphy burst out laughing and received several glares from the snobby customers they were sitting across from, while Lexa just gave him a smirk.
"Wake up Mr. Muscle Man,this is Lexa we're talking about, bangs-everything-that-walks-and-is-a-girl Lexa." Raven said after she calmed down,only to erupt in a louder fit of laughter.
"Yeah dude,that's like the only reason she hasn't banged Raven yet."
Raven punched Murphy on his shoulder electing a very "girly" like cry from the boy.
"Shut it wuss,not because you whine more than those bitches who whine all day long means I am lesser woman than you are."
"Guys guys cut it out,"Lincoln said sensing the cat fight which was about to happen.
"Let's say it doesn't happen to Lexa,but what if she falls for you ? What are you gonna do then. Just leave her?"
Before he could continue,the beautiful waitress,who Lexa was flirting with since they got there, brought over their bill.
'Here's your check Miss."She said with an accent which made the four of them go crazy even though Lincoln would never admit that.
"Thank you Gorgeous."Lexa shot her a wink while taking her credit card out of her Louis Vuiton wallet and then handed it over. The waitress walked away,shaking her ass a little more than necessary.
"Nah man,Cos isn't like that she's cool and we're not exclusive or anything,we're just really good friends who occasionally sleep with each other. She knows that I will never in my whole life commit to one person and I know that she's exactly the same."
"That's it tiger. Just hit em and quit em,"Murphy hollered while he took a sip of his whiskey. Who the hell drinks at 9 in the morning anyway.
"But." Lincoln tried again.
"Excuse me Miss, but this card is not working."
"Are you sure sugar,you do know how to work with this card do you." Came out of Lexa's mouth a little bit cockier than intended.
The waitress got a little offended and said : "Yes,I do know how to do my job thank you very much."
"Are you sure,because you like... you don't look very educated," Murphy unnecessarily added.
"Shut it Murphy."Raven gave said boy a death glare.
"I apologize for my friends their behavior," Lincoln said a little ashamed of his friends, but already used to their rudeness."But are you sure that card isn't working?"
"Yes,I am very sure." The waitress' became face red from anger and Raven swore she saw smoke coming out of her ears."This card has been declined, so are you gonna pay in cash then, or should I call security."
"Do you even know who you're talking to."Lexa stood up."I am Lexa Woods,you got that.I can have you fired within the snap of my fingers." Lexa snapped her fingers for added effect."Where is the manager,I demand to speak to the manager."Lexa yelled.
A man in a black suit with a Keffiyeh on his head appeared having been informed by one of the fast security guards.
"Miss Woods,my name is Omar Zafar and I'm the manager here. Is there any problem?"
"Oh so you do know who I am and yes this girl over here doesn't know her place talking to me the way she was."
"I'm very sorry Miss Woods,Jasmin you will apologize this very minute to Miss Woods." The manager scolded the waitress we now know as Jasmin.
"I'm very sorry Miss Woods and this will never happen again." The girl was clearly not sorry at all and why should she be.
"Yes this will never happen, because I demand you to fire this insolent girl this very moment." Raven and Lincoln looked shocked wondering what the hell was up with their friend, Jasmin's mouth was wide open while Murphy just had an evil smile on his face.
"Lexa chill,don't.."
"Shut up Lincoln."
"But Miss Woods,isn't that a little extreme?"
"Listen Omar if you don't fire this girl,I will drag your ass to court and sue your restaurant."Lexa threw some cash on the table and stormed out of the restaurant, leaving the mess she created around.
Raven quickly recovered from her state of shock and ran after Lexa,leaving a crying Jasmin behind for Lincoln to console.
* Flashback*
"Lexa Lexa Lexa slow down,you're gonna kill us." Raven tried to reason with the young heiress after having heard what happened between Lexa and Marcus.
"Come on you maniac,can't you be pissed while we are safely in a bar or at a beach drinking a Piña Colada or anywhere but this suicide mission really. Come on commander you know your dad means well. He's just trying to... "
"He's just trying to what ? Ruin my life! First he tells me that I need work as an assistant and when I don't agree he declines my credit cards and gets me humiliated in public."
Lexa stepped on the accelerator harder if that was even possible.
"Come on, destroying your dad's million dollar car won't solve anything. Stop the car and we"ll figure something out."
"No, I don't want to talk."Lexa made a sharp turn driving them toward a very secluded part of the country where she could go as fast as she wants without killing someone.
"Lexa I'm too fucking young and sexy to die!Stop this goddamn car or I will kill you."Raven said grabbing the wheel. Lexa and Raven were now fighting like little children for the wheel.
"Raven let go."
"Like hell I will. Stop the car bitch."
"Let go." Lexa successfully pushed Raven away which caused the shorter one to fall back into her seat.
"You're too fucking strong for your own good."
Suddenly she caught sight of something in the sky."What the fuck is that, look there's something in the sky."
"Really Raven,that's all you got. Trying to distract me with my own tricks."Lexa snorted.
"No asshole, I'm serious. Look." Lexa finally looked up and saw what Raven was pointing at.
"What the fuck is that."
I wrote this chapter about two months ago,because I had read too many clexa fics which were really good,but incomplete and it's so frustrating. So I'm gonna write the entire story first and then post the chapters one a day,if anyone is even remotely interested of course. And Fear The Walking Dead premieres on 23 August. Yasss,more Alicia Debnam-Carey! *Heart Eyes Heart Eyes* Don't miss the show.
Lemme know if I need to improve anything and the story is going to take place in several countries so if you guys want it to be a specific country/place tell me. And lastly apart from Clexa, which pairings do you want to see ?
Next Chapter coming up on September 19th. Hasta la vista baby.
