Lexa walked into the restaurant frowning as she sported a "Clarke is awesome!" shirt. The blonde donned a large smile and laughed when she saw. When they met at Octavia's house, the blonde already had her shirt ready for her.
"I cannot believe you beat me." Lexa seethed. "I am never helping you again." Referring to how she showed Clarke how bowl properly.
"Come on, it's not that bad. We're getting a free meal."
"You're not the one that has to wear this ridiculous shirt."
"Hey! That shirt is awesome, besides a bet is a bet." Clarke answered, she had been so excited that she actually won the bet she woke up early, going to the mall as soon as it opened to have one of those graffiti shirts made. It was very ostentatious, especially for Lexa's taste.
"Where did you even get that Clarke?" Raven asked and Octavia laughed and answered for her.
"She was at the mall as soon as it opened to have it made."
"Whatever, can we just get this over with so I can go home and take this ridiculous thing off."
"Oh come on, Commander." Clarke teased and threw an arm over Lexa's shoulders. "What's with you wanting me to call you that anyway?" Lexa shrugged her arm off and went to ask how much longer the wait would be for their table.
"I've never seen anyone get under her skin like you do." Raven commented. "And you've known each other all but two seconds."
"It's the same with Clarke." Octavia added.
"Lexa what the fuck!" Raven glared at her sister. "You just had to order one of the most expensive things on the menu?"
"You forced me to this dinner. Besides you would do the same thing if I were paying." Raven kept her mouth shut after that because she knew it was true. "Whatever." Raven turned her attention to Octavia who sat beside her in the booth. The two began to speak quietly and soon lost themselves in conversation ignoring the other two on the other side of the table.
"I think we've lost them." Clarke said, eyeing the two. "They do make a cute couple, what do you think?"
"Why are you talking to me?" Lexa looked over to the blonde.
"Stop being grumpy." Clarke nudged her side. "We might as well try to be friends."
"No."
"Frienemies?" Clarke suggested and Lexa actually chuckled.
"What?"
"You know we can be friendly even though we hate and compete against one another." Lexa thought about it for a minute. Even though she didn't want to admit it, the blonde intrigued her.
"What would we do?"
Clarke shrugged. "I don't know. How about we get to know each other a little bit. Talk about the stuff we have in common or like to do."
"Fine, but only because I don't want to watch those two," Gesturing to Raven and Octavia. "Making heart eyes at each other all the time." She said, making Clarke laugh.
"Deal. Now tell me a little about Lexa Mendoza."
Clarke wouldn't admit it but she was having a good time. She learned that she and Lexa both hoped for softball scholarships to pay for college. And that Lexa loved scary movies and she knew the names of most flowers, which surprised Clarke. In turn Clarke had told her about her talent in art and hatred and fear of frogs. She laughed when Lexa revealed all the card games she liked. "Of course you like all the games that have betting."
"Like you can talk, Clarke." Octavia took this moment to listen in on their conversation. She looked at Lexa. "We have a poker night at least once a month so Miss Addict here can get her fix." She said, receiving a glare from the blonde. "You guys should come over next time we have one."
"Yeah, sounds like fun." Lexa surprised herself by saying.
"Maybe we could have one next weekend?" Octavia suggested, she knew Clarke would be in because…gambling and she wanted to spend more time with Raven.
"Sure, that way I can kick the Commander's ass again." Clarke smiled as the waiter brought their dinner.
"Not happening."
"Wanna bet on it?"
Lexa smirked. "You're on. Same terms?"
"I'm thinking we up the ante." Clarke said. "Think about it for the week then when we play, that's when we'll agree to the terms."
"Okay."
"So what's up with you and Clarke?" Raven asked Lexa once they got home.
"What are you talking about?" Lexa lay on her bed.
"I'm talking about the serious amount of sexual tension between you two."
The older sister rolled her eyes. "I think that just regular tension that you noticed."
"Whatever, I saw the way you checked her out at the game."
"Yeah, that was before she opened her mouth." Raven threw a pillow at Lexa's head.
"That's rude. And besides you just don't like how she challenges you." Raven lie down beside her. "I think you actually like her."
"No, I don't. Why are you even in here? Go away." Then pushed her sister off the bed, laughing at the thump she made. She didn't expect Raven to be laughing too when she stood from the floor and made her way to the door.
"I think thou protests too much." She said as the quickly shut the door.
"How do you like Raven?" Octavia asked her best friend as they drove home and Clarke chuckled.
"I already told you I like her, stop asking."
"What about Lexa?" The brunette had noticed the tension between the two.
"Annoying."
"You know, I think she kind of likes you. I saw her checking you out when she thought no one was watching."
This time Clarke was the one that rolled her eyes. "She doesn't and it wouldn't matter if she did." Clarke didn't want to have this conversation, glad to be turning into her driveway.
"Yeah, yeah. You're straight and boring." The brunette teased even though her gaydar told her otherwise but she wouldn't push. She wasn't even sure if Clarke realized it herself or just afraid.
The blonde chuckled. "Sorry to disappoint. I'll see you Monday." She said, getting out of the car.
