Chapter 4 – Vodka and Whiskey
"Clarke, maybe you should ease on the drinks a little." Raven pushed the drink down from her friend's hand.
"What are you talking about?" the blonde chuckled "What's the point anyway? I screwed it up already!" Clarke taps the table before she throws back what's left of her liquor. "Oh my god! Why didn't I just followed your plan!?" she looks back at Raven with her puppy eyes on the verge of crying.
"Ahh yeah" the brunette scratched the back of her neck "That plan was totally out of my ass" she chuckled "but! You can still get her a drink" Raven gave her friend a bright smile of hope.
"Meeh!" Clarke made a flippant hand gesture "Don't worry about it" she sips her drink as she looks back to where Lexa was sitting "there is no coming back from what just happened earlier anyway." She exhaled losing all hope.
Raven and Clarke hear someone shout from the dance floor "Let's take a picture guys!" suddenly all of Anya's cousins were at the dance floor posing for the group picture. "It's not everyday that all of us are in the same place."
Art saw Lexa from the corner of his eyes "Lexa! Come on" he gestured to the one taking the picture to wait "Lexa's here"
"I'm coming" Lexa gingerly sat her glass at the side arm of her bench swing. She saw everyone was already on their pose and the one taking the picture was about to press the button. She came running in by sliding her body to the dance floor and twists to turn where the camera is. Lexa ended up in the middle of the picture posing like a break dancer on the floor.
As they finish taking the photo, they all looked at Lexa slapping her at back "You have impeccable timing Lex!"

Lexa is waiting at the bar for her fifth vodka drink. As she was standing there playing with a small umbrella she heard someone clearing their throat "Are you sick or something 'caus-"
"Oh no no no, I'm not sick" she laughed as she looks at Lexa "I'm Raven" the tan woman presented her hand for a shake.
Anya's sister nodded her head "Yeah we met earlier"
"Right, we did." As the bartender gave them their drinks "Wanna join our table for a while?" She rubbed the back of her neck nervously. Hot damn this better work, you owe me big time Clarke.
Lexa looks behind Raven towards the table and saw the blonde she's been looking at all night "Yeah, sure" she smiled towards her as they both walked back to the table. "Hi" she whispered to Clarke as she sat down beside her.
Clarke was busy talking to Harper at the moment and when she looks to where the voice was located she accidentally chokes resulted to a cough "Uhhh.. Hello" she cleared her throat as she saw that brunette smiled again towards her. "Hi"
"I believe we weren't introduced properly earlier?" the brunette laid her hand out for a shake "I'm Lexa" she smirked at the blonde.
Clarke gasped as she took Lexa's hand "Clarke." Finally!

Since Lexa joined their table the two have been inseparable and just laughed the whole time. "Wait…aaahhhh" Clarke wipes the tear on her eye "You kicked him right in the chest?" she was astounded while she looks at Lexa telling her a story.
"Of course I did!" she tap the blonde's shoulder with the back of her hand "The guy was talking smack about my sister" she pointed on her chest "What else was I suppose to do?"
"Okay, I can't judge you for your actions." Clarke pointed her way "because I would have done the same" she sips her drink "If I have a sister."
"Ahh!" Lexa moved closer to the blonde "So you're an only child." she said as matter of fact.
"Yes, I am" blue eyes looks down as she nodded "and my mom's a doctor, which she works with us and your sister." She smiled at Lexa.
Green eyes couldn't take her sight off those lips "and your father?" she hushed lowly, like if they talked in their normal volume everything would break. She noticed the blonde's scrunched forehead that immediately disappear. She gently touched Clarke's shoulder "I'm sorry" she whispered "I didn't mean to.."
Clarke swats her hand in front of them "Don't worry about it" she smiled at the memory of him "He a… he died years ago." She takes a sip of her drink as she takes a breath "but enough about sad stuff."
"Right" Lexa agreed as she drinks "How is it working with my sister?" and she pointed directly at Clarke "and don't sugar coat it, I know she can be bossy."
Clarke laughed as she remembers the first time she met Anya at the hospital "Oh wow, well she stole my patient, that's how we met." The brunette chuckled agreeing with Clarke believing that her sister will definitely do that.
"So.." green eyes widen directly at blue "You're the reason why she wanted to throw a party."
"You need another drink." Clarke suggested as she noticed Lexa sipping an empty glass. "Let me order you a whiskey instead of your usual vodka."
The brunette cackled "No no no, no whiskey for me. I only drink vodka." She finalized to the blonde.
"Then I will change that."
