I can't wait for the next chapter and the next meeting between Lexa and Clarke. I hope to have it up within a few days. Don't forget to review please. =)
Entering the bar the girls were happy they got to skip the line due to Octavia and her man crush on Lincoln. Clarke watched her flirt with the tall well built guy. She could see why he was a bouncer he had the muscle to back his weight and in all honest he was totally O's type. Feeling the need to be a little possessive and completely generic over her best friend. She leaned up next to him whispering.
"Thank you for letting us skip the line. You seem really nice and it was great to meet you but if you break her heart I will find a way to break your face" she smiled patting him on the back. She might look like a small petite blonde but she knew how to hold her own.
"Let's go" Clarke heard Raven tell her knowing that Octavia wasn't leaving Lincoln's side anytime soon and she wanted to check out the new fancy bar.
Walking farther in both girls could hear the DJ mixing music and switching the tracks. The bar was more packed tonight then it was last night. Turning to follow her friend Clarke laid eyes on the dance floor. Immediately looking around to see if the girl from last night was here again. She didn't even get the girls name she just remember how hands on and touchy both were causing her face to blush catching Ravens's attention.
"Is your girlfriend here tonight" Raven teased seeing Clarke search the crowd.
"Pshhh she is not my girlfriend Raven I don't even know her name" she snapped back knowing Raven was trying to get a rise out of her.
"Suureee princess" she heard Raven toss back her childhood nickname grabbing her hand and spinning her on the dance floor. "Let's have some fun tonight, and who knows maybe will both get lucky" she cocked a smile at Clarke letting her know they were going to get in trouble tonight.
Lexa stared as she watched the three girls stop and laugh with her cousin Lincoln at the front door. She couldn't believe her eyes, could she have gotten this lucky to have Clarke the gorgeous blonde she couldn't stop herself from teasing all day walk into her bar. Watching Clarke lean in a whisper something in Lincoln's ear she made a mental note to ask Lincoln how he knew the girls as her eyes followed Clarke. As one was left with Lincoln she watched the two girls interact whispering to each other laughing making Lexa wonder how close the two really were. Not that is was any of her business but she couldn't help but be hopeful that Clarke might like girls too. Seeing the other brunette grab Clarke's hand and spin her on the dance floor made Lexa feel like she got kicked in the stomach. What was she feeling for the blonde she hardly knew. Could it be.
"Hello excuse me" she heard a girl randomly knock her hand on the bar trying to get her attention. Realizing she was still standing behind the bar with people coming and going she stood tall and spoke to the girl "Yes what can I get you" also throwing an apologetic look at Costia who was staring at her with a face of confusion. After passing the drinks to the girl she lent over the bar to Costia.
"Sorry for the space out that most definitely is Clarke the blonde from this morning" she looked up searching the crowd again for a flash of curly blonde hair.
"I think you are looking for me" she heard a very flirty voice come from the other side of the bar causing both Lexa and Costia to turn. Looking straight ahead she spotted the brunette who was left at the door with her cousin Lincoln. Smiling Lexa knew immediately who she was.
"Hi I do remember you from earlier today at the university. You are Clarke's friend correct" Lexa spoke standing tall facing the brunette now.
"Yes I'm Octavia and you are Clarke as well if I remember right." Octavia lifted one eyebrow giving the girl a questioning look and also seeing the confused look the other brunette was giving her knowing now the girls name couldn't be Clarke.
Laughing Lexa went to speak but was cut off by one of her workers. "Commander are you going to serve or stand we could use the help." Hearing Costia laugh in the background with Jaxon she looked back at Octavia.
"Can I get you anything tonight? Are you here alone or with friends" Lexa pushed to see if Octavia was willing to admit Clarke was in fact at the bar too.
"I am pretty sure I saw you staring at Clarke already or should I say undressing her" Octavia caught Lexa off guard with the upfront statement causing Lexa to blush a little for being so obvious and not knowing how to respond she just smirked back at the girl not denying anything.
"Can I get a beer and a water what was it Commander Clarke" Octavia laughed thinking about the name. She couldn't wait to find out the whole story as she seen the brunette shake her head at the name.
"Here you go and it's on me" Lexa passed the drinks to Octavia hearing her say thank you and she rushed back to Lincoln's side but not before making a stop off to her friends on the dance floor spinning around them as she whispered something to the other brunette causing her to toss a look back at the bar. Lexa could see Clarke moving to the music watching the little black dress she had on ride up just a little bit throwing her head back and laughing. She watched Octavia do a little dance on her causing Clarke to push her hands out at her friend it was obvious she was having fun and to the looks of it already a little tipsy.
They had been dancing for a few hours and her feet were killing her. She was enjoying herself and flirting away with anyone who approached wanting to dance. Between herself and Raven they made great dancing partners and they both knew how to put on a show. She mentally thanked herself for naturally having rhythm. She knew it wasn't easy swinging your hips and making yourself look good. Looking to the bar she needed water she could feel the sweat dripping down her back. They had been getting free drinks all night but they weren't exactly sure who was sending them there way just a hostess handing them off saying courtesy of the bar.
"Raven I am going to head to the bar to grab a drink" She closed in on the girls ear so she could hear her over the music.
"Are you sure you want to do that" Raven spoke back seeing the look on Clarke's face realizing Octavia hadn't told the blonde about the other Clarke working here.
"Umm yeah why not?" Clarke gave her a suspicious look.
"Ohh never mind could you grab me a beer please" Raven said and she smiled knowing what was going to happen so she turned to keep dancing by herself.
Gosh it was hot Clarke thought and she pushed her way through people off the dance floor. She couldn't believe she was back here again for another night and most definitely on her way to being drunk again. Smiling she realized she didn't care because she was taking her friends advice and being young, wild and free. She had been flirting with a few of the girls on the dance floor testing out her game with the ladies. It had been working even though Clarke wasn't fully interested in any of them. Smiling at her thoughts she was happy. Finally for once she felt like she was becoming herself and she could just be happy. Stepping up to the bar it was busy. She squeezed in next to a girl and a guy hoping not to intrude trying to wave down a bartender.
"Hey can I get a beer" she said to a guy behind the bar who just walked past her not paying her any attention. Rude she thought once again looking around for someone she could get a beer from. She spotted a tall brunette with her back turned to her. Mmm she thought not being able to control herself as she worked her eyes up the girls back seeing as she was in tan skinny jeans and a black tank top. It fit her well hugging all her curves she could see the defined muscles in the girls arms. Biting her lip she slid over a little so she was sitting behind the girl noticing she didn't seem to fit in with the other people serving.
"Hi do you think I could get a beer" she said to the brunette's back watching her straighten up and her shoulders tighten she wondered if she said something wrong.
Lexa paused dead in her process of making a margarita. Did she just hear that right. She could tell the blondes voice from a mile away. She had been watching her all night hoping the blonde wouldn't catch her because she wasn't sure how the story would play out but now she had no choice but to turn around and take in the blondes face for the third time today.
"I don't know Clarke. Can you show me your ID. I just need to double check you know making sure you are of age." She couldn't help but fight the pull of her lips. Focusing on Clarke's eyes. Blue she thought to herself. Deep ocean blue she could finally see her eyes almost getting lost in them she heard the blonde finally speak.
"You've got to be kidding me. How are you? What are you doing here?" Clarke spoke looking around trying to find her friends.
"Well as you can tell I work here Clarke." holding her arms out across the bar. "Now could you show me your ID please." she smirked at the blonde leaning closer to her on the bar letting her eyes search her face gazing at her blue eyes again eventually falling on her lips. Looking back up she seen Clarke's eyes go a little darker with anger.
"You don't work here. I don't believe you" Clarke laughed digging out her ID. She couldn't believe what was going on she looked back to the brunette who she caught looking at her lips. Could Octavia have been right, maybe the girl was flirting with her. How was she suppose to even tell when everything coming out of the brunette's mouth seemed to be a joke.
"Okay Clarke is it? Can I ask you something serious before I hand over my ID?" watching the brunette nod she spoke hoping to get the truth. "Tell me your real name" Clarke said to the brunette putting as much sass as she could behind the question holding her ID in the air catching the attention of the couple next to her.
Lexa seen Costia and Jaxon turn around hearing the small disruption behind them coming from the blonde. Seeing Costia's eyes trail the blonde who she now realized was Lexa's Clarke with a tad bit of jealousy. Lexa waved both of them off allowing the joke to continue.
"Actually it's Commander Clarke." Lexa tipped her head seeing Costia laugh out of the corner of her eye as they walked off not wanting to be apart of the current show.
"Uhh excuse me. Your name isn't commander…. pshhh I am not handing over my ID to you." laughing out loud. "This has to be a game ." She started to protest as she felt a heavy arm push up against her. Turning her head she seen Raven with a huge smile on her face.
"Well well well if it isn't the girl crush Clarke" Raven spoke to the brunette causing Clarke to elbow her as she slightly started to blush. She didn't want the brunette to know she was the topic of their conversation this afternoon.
"Hi Raven your friend Octavia let me know you were all here. I can see you have been enjoying the drinks coming your way." Lexa spoke to the girls watching it register on both of there faces. She had been pushing free drinks there way making sure they were having a good time on the house. She liked watching Clarke dance and smile so it was the best she could do since she wasn't joining her out on the dance floor. She had told one of the other bouncers to keep there eye out on both of them so that no one pushed to close or caused a scene. She knew it was more for her own personal reasons protecting Clarke rather than the protection of the bar.
"Wait… you…. us?" She heard Clarke start to ramble seeing as now that she was sitting the alcohol was setting in a little more heavy. "Who are you" the blonde spoke again giving Lexa a slightly pouting face.
Lexa's was completely amused looking between the two drunk girls. Listening to Clarke question who she was and her name with that pouting expression causing Lexa to pause on the girls lips again. Pushing the thought away she heard Raven speak up.
"Oh so the sexy brunette Clarke is the one we should be thanking tonight" Raven leaned in on the bar giving Lexa a wink.
Hearing Raven start to flirt with brunette across the bar had Clarke seeing a little red. She knew it was all fun and games for Raven but for some reason she couldn't help but interject as she felt the knot of jealousy start to rise in her body.
"Sorry Raven I saw" she looked at the brunette meeting her eyes straight on seeing them change to a darker green with the look she was giving her. "The sexy Commander Clarke first" she laughed throwing a smile at the girl and pushing Raven back. This was ridiculous Clarke thought to herself how am I flirting with a girl who supposedly has my name and has been fucking with me all day and night and yet I'm blushing. She could feel the heat rise in her face as she watched the brunette check her out again at the use of her word choice.
"Sexy Clarke" hmmm she heard the brunette hum at her.
Leaning on the bar now face to face with Clarke she could see how her using the same words back at her was affecting the blonde girl. The blush in her cheeks and the biting of her lip. It was sexy as hell she couldn't keep her eyes from drifting back down to Clarke's lips again. Not wanting to ruin the vibe with her own desires she just lifted her eyebrow to the blonde knowing she got caught looking at her lips letting the simple suggestion show enough.
Clarke felt her body react. She blushed turning away a little trying to figure out if the look she was just given was purely for show or real desire. She didn't know this girl at all besides her fake or not fake name but she was drawn to her. Those green eyes with humor in them continuously gazing at her.
Pushing back up off the bar knowing her point got across Lexa waved to both of them "So would you ladies like a round of shots on the house."
"YES tequila please" Octavia came out of no where squeezing in with humor in her eyes.
"No" Clarke spit out. "I am not playing this game again O"
"One round Clarke" Octavia shot her puppy eyes at her right along with Raven. "Plus how could you turn down the sexy Commander Clarke? That is what I just overheard you say right? no one knew Octavia was standing behind them watching the exchange in looks between Clarke and the brunette on the other side of the bar.
Clarke felt herself blush again and she lifted a hand to her face. It was just too much in one night and between her friends and this girl her cheeks were hurting from smiling. She knew she was losing her fight with control watching everyone's attention fall on her. She told herself one shot and that was it. She was not asking for trouble two nights in a row.
"Come on Clarke I promise I won't let you get naked with any girls or have any lap dances break out like last night" Raven outed Clarke in front of everyone.
"Shut up Raven" Clarke smacked her as she looked up to the brunette across the bar trying to judge her reaction. "One shot" she said trying to change the subject.
"Yessss" both girls jumped bumping shoulders with Clarke.
Laughing at the girls Lexa turned around to grab the finest bottle of tequila they had on stock and laid four shot glasses out. Pouring the tequila like an expert she pushed the girls three shots and left one in front of her.
"You ready" Lexa lifted the shot glass up to the three of them.
"Yes commander Clarke joining in on the fun" Octavia shouted out tapping her shot glass to Lexa's and then downing her shot.
Whew it burned Lexa thought feeling it go down and hitting the bottom of her stomach. She turned to watch Clarke take the shot like a champ. Thinking about what Raven had said she shifted pouring the girls another round but holding on to Clarke's glass.
"So you were in here last night Clarke" Lexa spoke leaning in close to her with the shot in her hand.
"Ummm yeah wouldn't you know if you worked here" Clarke spoke watching the brunette swirl the shot glass hoping to find some truth in her story.
"Naked?" Lexa tilted her head at the blonde. "Lap dances? humor shining in her eyes as she stared into the blue eyes of Clarke. "Is that why you stole my coffee this morning." Lexa laughed knowing she was asking for it when she seen Clarke's smile drop off and she replaced it with a scowl. Lexa knew she hadn't been in the bar last night but if she was she was sure she would have put a stop to whatever adventure they had because she already didn't like the sound of it.
"They were just joking. I got a little drunk last night and ended up dancing with a girl who got a little too hands on and O won't let it go now." Clarke snapped with attitude behind her words as if she was trying to prove a point. Watching the brunette stop swirling the shot glass in her hand and the laughter leave her eyes a little she wondering where the brunette's mind went she spoke up hoping to bring her back.
"Also it was you who tried to to steal my coffee." Clarke laughed snatching the shot out of the girls hand and taking it back and slamming the glass back down on the bar.
"Ohhhaayyyy" they both looked hearing Raven and Octavia yell. "Clarke making love to the tequila bottle again" causing the whole crowd around them to laugh at their comment.
Pouring another it was Lexa tipping back the shot this time, slamming it on the bar she met Clarke's eyes with humor shining in hers again hoping to kill the jealousy vibe she was tossing out a minute ago.
"So from one Clarke to another Clarke" she seen the blonde rolling her eyes. "How many shots does it take to get a lap dance from you" standing back waiting to see the reaction she could get teasing Clarke once again.
Eyes wide she couldn't believe what she just heard. Shifting so she could stand looking straight at the brunette not being able to hold back a smile.
"That is a question you will never get an answer too" Clarke couldn't think of anything better to say.
"You want to make a bet on that" Lexa threw back at her not being able to stop herself from flirting with Clarke.
Watching the brunette give her the stare down from behind the bar. She was in debates on if she should even approach the comment regarding a bet. So she just smiled and turned her back to the brunette making sure to glance over her shoulder every now and then watching the brunette smirk and check out her ass. Taking note she thought it was the best answer she could have given knowing she was being a tease.
Checking the clock Lexa kept serving as she watched Clarke who had now had her back turned to her for about an hour now. Seeing her standing next to the bar still with her friends and a few others they had caught up in a conversation she grabbing a cold bottle of water checking out the blonde once again she felt it slide through her hands giving her an idea. Leaning across the bar she let the bottle press against Clarke's bare shoulder.
"Oh My God" she heard Clarke spit out as her back arched in turning around quickly. Lexa started laughing to the point of bending over on the bar. Seeing the shock in Clarke's face was worth the risk. She knew it would either have her pissed or laughing and from what she could tell Clarke was smiling at her ridiculously.
"Just wanted to see if you were still awake" Lexa tossed the water bottle at Clarke.
"I was doing just fine without the cold bottle against my back thank you very much CLARKE" the blonde made sure to emphasis on the brunettes name or her fake name for all she knew.
"Good here let me grab your things and you grab your friends and we can get you all home. The bar is about to be closing." Lexa pointed at one of the guys to help round them all up pushing them through the last of the crowd towards the door.
Picking everything up Clarke searched for her keys. "Shit" she said out loud as it registered. Almost forgetting her main reason for being at the bar tonight. She turned around almost smacking into the brunette behind her. Putting her hand up "Excuse me Clarke… or whatever your name is. I lost my keys here last night and haven't been able to find them. Do you know if anyone turned them in."
Lexa remembered seeing someone's keys in the lost and found this morning laughing at the key chain that said "Blondes do it better". Noticing now it fit Clarke's attitude perfectly. "No sorry I haven't seen anything get turned in" Lexa spoke back to her with a white lie. "Maybe if you come back in the morning someone could help you look around" shrugging her shoulders trying to make it believable but continuing.
"I'm sending you girls home in a car so you really won't be having to worry about your keys right this second. Lexa kept her walking to the front door. She could see the frustration play across the blondes face knowing it was the truth.
"Do you know who I would come in and ask for tomorrow when trying to find them." Clarke looked at her slightly pouting.
"Ummm yeah" Lexa thought smiling just another page in the play book. "Come in and ask for Alexandra Voss. She runs the place."
Pushing all three of them into a car with one of her guys getting directions back to Octavia's place she couldn't help but laugh watching them all push and shove their way around the car trying to get comfortable. Knowing they were safe Lexa decided to shut the door and make her exit thinking about how she found another way to see Clarke again tomorrow.
Hearing someone yell from behind her she turned on her foot to see the window rolled down on the car and it was Clarke leaning out with a smirk on her face this time.
"Goodbye from one Clarke to another Clarke" the blonde said as she waved. This time leaving Lexa stuck in awe as she watched the car drive away knowing she was screwed.
