A/N: Ok first of all I'm so sorry for the lack of updates. There's been a lot going in real life. First, my wife and I bought a house so it was all packing and moving. Then two months after the move (literally just got everything unpacked) my wife advises me that she had cheated. So then it was emotional shit and some more packing and moving two states to go back where my family lived. Trying to find a place to live while transferring my job and getting settled again. Plus starting online classes. But I love this story and am not abandoning it. Just bare with me a bit. But reviews definitely help keep me motivated. I actually started writing when I saw a few people asked when the next update was so, thank you all for sticking around and keeping me motivated. Now without further delay….Clexa!
The Lawrence bus just arrived and Clarke couldn't contain her smile as she saw Lexa exiting the bus. She made her way over. "Hey baby." She greeted, smile still intact.
"You can't be happy to see me today, Clarke." Lexa said as she shouldered her batting bag. "You're the enemy today." Raven rolled her eyes and went to greet Octavia, ignoring her sister. Clarke pouted playfully.
"So you're not happy to see me?"
"No." Lexa tried to ignore the glint in her girlfriend's eyes as the blonde moved closer.
"Not even a little bit?" She pouted further, her fingers climbing up the brunette's arm leaving goosebumps in their wake. Clarke saw a ghost of a smile on Lexa's lips before it was gone again.
"Nope." Clarke wrapped her arms around the brunette's neck, placing a kiss at the corner of Lexa's mouth. Her fingers playing with the baby hairs on her girlfriend's neck.
"How about now?" Lexa dipped forward trying to catch the blonde's lips, but the blonde leaned back. "Nuh uh."
"Claaarrke." Lexa whined.
"Say it." Lexa wrapped her arms around Clarke's waist, holding her close.
"Fine. I'm always happy to see you."
"That's better." Clarke answered and closed the distance between them. She went to pull back but Lexa chased her lips, not letting her go just quite yet. Clarke allowed it for a few moments but when the brunette went to deepen the kiss she pulled back. "Are you going to get on base today Commander?" She goaded.
"Pretty sure I just rounded first." Lexa stated with a wink and a smirk. Clarke rolled her eyes.
"Too bad those bases aren't included in our bet." The blonde answered. "I might just let you win if that were the case."
"I'm going to win anyway."
"We'll see about that, Commander." Clarke had bet that Lexa wouldn't get on base today, at least while she was pitching. "You remember the wager, right?"
"When I win you have to watch-"
"If you when." Clarke corrected.
"Fine, if aka when I win you have to sit through an entire day of scary movies with me."
"And if I win you have to watch a full day of Rom Coms." Clarke smiled and Lexa glared.
"I'm not losing this bet."
Marcus pointed over to the two girls wearing different uniforms and embracing to Abby as they walked from the parking lot. "They make a pretty couple, don't they?" Abby gushed as she saw the smile on her daughter's face.
"They do, they look happy." As they made their way closer, the two girls obviously didn't see them approach. Clarke leaned in kissing Lexa, once again. Abby cleared her throat after it was obvious they weren't going to separate anytime soon. The girls broke apart, startled.
"Dr. Griffin!" Lexa shouted embarrassedly, her face turning redder than a tomato. Clarke just chuckled, giving her another quick kiss on the cheek.
"Well Lexa, it seems I have a knack of catching my daughter sucking your face." Abby teased and Lexa turned a shade that Abby had never seen.
"I'm so sorry!" Lexa started. "She, we…I-"
"Mom, stop teasing her." Clarke and Abby chuckled at the girl's discomfort. Even Marcus looked like he had been trying hide in his laugh. Ever since the dinner two weeks prior the mother and daughter's relationship had improved expenintionally.
"I'm sorry, but she's just too easy to embarrass." Abby laughed, and then looked pointedly to the brunette. "And Lexa, please call me Abby."
Lexa still looked embarrassed, but glad that the mother of her girlfriend seemed to be pretty cool. "Yes, ma'am." She nodded. "It's nice to see you both again. I'm glad you could make it." She looked at both Abby and Marcus.
"It's good to see you again Lexa." Marcus stated, shaking her hand. "I hope we're in for a good game."
"You know it." Clarke answered for both of them.
"Speaking of the game, I'd better get to my team and start warming up." She looked at Clarke. "Remember I love you when I destroy you." Clarke chuckled then accepted the peck that Lexa gave her then gave her a playful shove.
"Love you too."
It was the top of the third when Lexa stepped to the plate for the second time. She had flown out to left the first time up. She stepped into the box and Clarke gave a subtle wink and smile. Lexa ignored the way her heart gave a flutter, like it always does when Clarke smiled her way, but she was determined to get on base this at bat. Just as Clarke was getting to get the pitch from Octavia when her coach called time and began walking out towards the mound signaling for Octavia follow. What the hell, why is he coming out? Clarke thought. She was pitching a great game, in her mind there was no reason for him to come out. "Walk her." Was what came out of his mouth as soon as he got to the mound.
"Coach!" She was ready to protest when he cut her off speaking again.
"Look, first base is open. Pitch to her but don't give her anything near the zone." He said. "She's by far the best hitter on her team. The player behind her has a .200 batting average. We'll walk Mendoza and then pitch to the next batter low and make her it into a double play and we can get out of this inning with no damage."
"Coach…"
"I know you want to go after her, and I know you can do it Clarke. But it's the right move." He gave her a hard pat on the back before heading to the dugout. The pitcher physically slumped her shoulders for a few reasons. One-she hated intentionally walking anyone, especially when they were winning. And two-she just lost her bet by putting Lexa on base. Octavia seemed to read the blonde's mind as she stated.
"Maybe you can spin it to where she didn't get a hit to get on base." The catcher said with a smirk and a smack on the shoulder before jogging back behind the plate. Yeah, I'm going to have to…
Lexa was confused as to why the coach came out mid inning when Clarke had been pitching a great game but she was called over by her third base coach to ponder anymore about it. Once the meeting at the mound ended she walked over to the batter's box. When she looked at Clarke she noticed the glint in her eyes was gone. Lexa filed that away for later to find out what was wrong but now she had to get ready for her girlfriend's killer rise ball. What she didn't expect was the garbage of a pitch she got instead. She raised a brow at the blonde as Octavia threw the ball back to her.
She shook it off, thinking the ball must have slipped and readied for the next pitch…again garbage outside the zone. Is the intentionally unintentionally walking me? Lexa questioned and as the third one came and it was in the dirt, she got her answer. Yep. She sighed disappointedly; she could guess Clarke was just as upset. She almost thought about chaging the bet as she jogged down to first base. Besides Lexa didn't get a hit, and she didn't want to win by Clarke be forced to forfeit. What's the fun in that?
Sheldon ended up winning by two runs but Lexa was able to get a triple off of her girlfriend so she wasn't too sour over the loss. Plus, Abby went over to stay over at Marcus' so she, Raven, and Octavia were staying over at the Griffin house for the night. Currently they were all watching Fuller House on Netflix. She and Clarke were cuddled in the loveseat while Octavia and Raven took the couch. They were all engrossed in the show when Octavia spoke up. "I always had a thing for teenage DJ, but I think she's even more beautiful now."
"Really?" Lexa asked. "I always had a crush on Stephanie, but she's way hotter now."
Clarke hummed in agreement next to her. "I guess you've got a thing for hot blondes with big knockers huh?" The blonde teased. Lexa turned her head to the side and smiled.
"Just two." She said. "But don't worry, you're my number one."
Clarke chuckled. "Ah, I feel so special."
"You should." Raven interrupted. "She practically stalked Jodie Sweden when she was ten."
"Did not." Lexa grumbled but her sister paid her no mind.
"I always thought Becky was hot. Now, she is a MILF." Raven said. "Kinda like Clarke's mom."
"Eeew!" Clarke yelled and threw a pillow towards the younger Mendoza sister. "Gross!"
Raven laughed as she caught the pillow. "What? She is. I've been thinking that ever since you introduced us."
"Your mom is gorgeous, Clarke." O added.
"Oh my God, stop!" Clarke yelled mortified while the other three laughed. She smacked Lexa on the arm. "You're not supposed laugh."
"She thinks the same thing, she's just too chicken shit to say it to you." Raven added and Lexa's laugh to turned to a glare.
"What?" Clarke turned her attention to her girlfriend. "You don't think my Mom is attractive do you?" She asked putting Lexa on the spot. The girl wasn't blind Dr. Griffin was a fine looking woman, especially for her age…but how did she put that to Clarke without getting in trouble.
"Well, I mean…she's…"
"Yes?" Clarke probed when Lexa trailed off.
"Let me put it this way…if I was worried about still being attracted to you when we get old…I'm not anymore." She said and Clarke wacked her with a pillow…seriously where does she keep getting pillows? "Hey! What was that for!?"
"For being worried I wasn't going to be hot when I was older."
"So not because she just admitted to thinking your mom was hot?" Raven smirked and Lexa grabbed the pillow from her girlfriend and chucked it at her sister.
"Not helping!"
"It's okay, Mama Mendoza is pretty good looking herself." Clarke admitted causing both Mendoza's to grown.
"Raven, give me that pillow back!"
