AN: Hey, I just wanted you to know that if it helps, you can search on Eliza Taylor (Clarke) interview or Alycia Debnam-Carey (Lexa) interview, just to have their voices in your mind while you're reading their lines. This is just a tip, you can do it with the other characters too. And if it's hard to picture them how they look in real life, just google them by their real name. Yeah, that was all. Enjoy!
Btw: I want you to search on Nadia Hilker and Lindsey Morgan. It's Luna and Raven. There are super cute pictures of them! Please just take a quick look at the pictures. And please search on it on youtube too! There are really cute videos of them :) now, enjoy!
The blonde smiled to herself. Lexa wanted her to stay. It was crazy how connected she felt with Lexa. How the two of them seemed to be happy when the other one was around. Clarke's fingers softly went through Lexa's hair. She kissed the brunette's head. "okay"
The next morning, Clarke woke up alone on the couch. "Lexa?"
"Yeah?" The brunette walked in the living room, she wore her white blouse with a black tie and skirt. She sat beside Clarke. "I'm sorry I fell asleep on the couch, and wouldn't let you go" Lexa chuckled.
"No, it's okay" the blonde smiled, glad she stayed with Lexa last night. It was only fifteen minutes till Lexa had to go to work. "I think I'm going to go to my mom's house, we have a lot to talk about. And I feel bad for yelling at her"
Lexa nodded at the blonde, she leaned in to kiss her cheek. They said their goodbye's in the parking lot. Clarke drove to her mother's house, hoped she would be awake by this time. As she knocked on the door, she had second thoughts. Maybe she shouldn't forgive her mother just yet? She had hidden the secret from her for 25 years, why should she forgive her mother after one day?
"Hey, Clarke. What are you doing here so early?" Her mother looked at the clock. Yeah, it was only a few minutes past seven. "I came to apologize" Abby let her in. "I'm the one that needs to apologize, not you" Abby sadly confessed.
"Maybe, but I still snapped at you" Clarke grabbed her mother's hand. "I'm sorry, mom" Abby smiled at her beautiful daughter. She had raised a kind and loving person. "I'm sorry too, honey" Abby embraced her daughter.
Clarke made herself comfortable on the couch as Abby was making coffee for them. "There you go" Abby handed Clarke the hot cup of coffee. "Thanks, mom"
"Clarke?" Abby smirked.
"Yes?"
"How come you use the same clothes as yesterday?"
Clarke widened her eyes. Her hair was messy. It was clearly giving her mother the wrong signal. "Oh, I … ugh" She had to come up with a way to be honest, but not give her mother any wrong ideas. "I fell asleep at Lexa's, and thought I would stop by here before I drove home"
"Oh, you guys are this serious?" Abby asked curios, since she thinks "sleeping" over at the person she was 'dating' was a big deal. She thought about that Clarke invited her over for Christmas too.
"Oh, no, no…" Clarke immediately said. "We're not" She shook her head, tried to make her mom believe her. Before she got to say anything else, her phone buzzed.
O: Clarke! Are you awake?
C: Hey, yeah
O: We are still throwing Bellamy a surprise party at your place?
Clarke widened her eyes. "Shit" she totally forgot. It's Bellamy's birthday today. "What?" her mother asked worried.
"No, I just forgot it was Bellamy's birthday today… we are supposed to throw him a surprise party and all that. We have pretended that we have totally forgotten his birthday and I actually-"
"Forgot it"
Clarke was a little embarrassed. "I have to go and buy stuff, then remind people that it's his birthday and when they are supposed to come" She texted the others and told them to meet up at her place six pm. She texted Octavia.
C: I'm sorry, O. I forgot. I will go to target right now.
"I can come with you" Abby offered. Clarke nodded and accepted the help. It would be nice to spend some time with her mother again, it had been a long time after all. Clarke drove the two of them target.
"What are we going to buy?" Abby asked as they took a cart. "I thought maybe soda, snacks, balloons and shit"
"Language" Abby reminded her daughter. "Sorry". Yes, Clarke was an adult, but her mother still treated her like a little girl. "And I'm going to order a few pizzas before the party starts" Clarke pushed the cart to the party section. "Are you inviting, Lexa?" Abby asked with a smirk. "I don't know, maybe"
The two of them kept looking for party stuff. They actually had a good time. When they were on their way to the counter, two girls had walked up to them.
"Clarke!" Raven waved at her friend and carefully pulled Luna after her. "Oh, hey. Luna, this is my mom, Abby Griffin" The two strangers shook hands. "Luna"
"I guess you forgot it was Bellamy's birthday" Raven laughed. "Yeah". Raven took a long look at Clarke. "Wait, didn't you use those clothes yesterday too?" Raven asked her best friend. She knew that Clarke didn't like to use the same clothes two days in a row. "Wait a second…" Raven gaped, so did Luna. "You spent the night at Lexa's!"
Abby chuckled. Luna laughed at Raven. She was so making fun of Lexa later. Raven understood Clarke must have been embarrassed when Raven said that in front of her mother.
"Clarke, you have to invite her to Bellamy's surprise party!" Raven excitedly suggested. Clarke thought about it, Raven could see that. "Fine" She wanted Lexa to come, but she couldn't act all 'obsessed' with the brunette, she had to play a little discreet.
"You should come too" Clarke invited Luna. Raven still held Luna's hand. Abby noticed it but didn't say anything. She respected and understood them now. She understood that love is love.
"Yeah, I'll come"
"That was the most confusing meeting ever. I didn't know she wanted to have it so early. She even called me a bitch a few times" Lexa scoffed, it made Costia frown. "I hater her"
"I know, me too"
"Hey, why come Luna get the day off and not me?" Costia asked her friend. "Well, she asked for it. She had worked a lot, so I thought why not. She deserved it" Lexa shrugged. "Costia, I need you work late at Friday" Lexa told her friend as she was headed to the door. "What no, I can't"
"I'm sorry Cos, but you have to. Is it something more important you're going to do?" Lexa asked. Costia looked a little around. "It's just a date… you know what. I'll cancel it, it's okay" Costia closed the door after her. It didn't take long before Lexa opened Costia's door. "If you want, I can make someone else stay? Anya maybe?" Lexa threw away her 'bold' look and put on a warm smile.
"Yes. Thanks, Lex" Costia hugged Lexa. She made her way to Anya's office. "It's Lexa" she said as she was done knocking, it didn't take long before the girl let her in. "Hey, I need you to work late on Friday. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, okay" Anya calmly said, not sad or angry because she had to work late on Friday. Lexa's phone buzzed. "Are you okay?" Anya asked as she saw her sister almost gaped. "yeah…" Lexa mumbled and almost ran to her office.
Luna: So, I heard Clarke slept at your place last night? xD
Lexa: Luna. You're getting it all wrong, we just slept.
Luna: Nothing happened?
Lexa: nope
Luna: Okay then
Lexa: Having a fun day?
Luna: Yes, yes. Raven and I ran into Clarke and her mother at target. Raven noticed Clarke was wearing the exact same clothes as yesterday, so she asked Clarke if she spent the night at Lexa's. And her mother was just laughing.
Lexa: omg xD poor girl
Luna: Yeah, but I have to go now
Lexa: okay, bye
Luna: Byee
Lexa just had to smile. She started reading new emails she had received yesterday but got interrupted as always. "Yes, come in". Titus entered the door. "Here you go, Heda. I'm sorry for being late" he handed her the cup of coffee. "No worries"
"No! stop!" Luna laughed her ass off as Raven tickled her, like she was a little kid. "Raven, it tickles! Stop it!" Luna almost cried of laughing too hard. "You're cute" Raven beamed at the smiling curly haired girl. Luna pulled Raven's head to rest on her chest. She ran her fingers through Raven's hair.
"I think I may want to reach out to my sister" Raven smiled at Luna. "That's wonderful!"
Luna insisted that she should 'stalk' her right away. Raven leaned her head on Luna's shoulder and pulled a blanket over them. Luna gave Raven her phone. "Okay…" raven exhaled as she typed in her sister's name in the searching field. "Becca Reyes"
"Wow" Luna gaped as they looked at her pictures. Raven's heart was beating fast. Before she got to think what she was going to say, she had already sent a message.
Raven: Hey, Becca
Raven and Luna were excitedly stared at the screen. Raven bit her lip as the three dots appeared.
Becca: Hey, Rae! It's been a long time, how are you?
Raven: Yes, it's indeed been a long time. I'm doing just fine. How about you?
Becca: I'm doing great
Raven: You're married and have a kid?
Becca: That's right, and you? I hope you haven't gotten married or had a kid without telling me?
Raven: No, no
Becca: Maybe Finn are going to pop the question soon?
Raven: I don't think so. We broke up ages ago
Becca: No really? Why didn't you tell me?
Raven: We weren't really talking…
Becca: I'm so sorry, Rae
Raven: Don't be. I'm glad we are talking now :)
Becca: Me too
Raven: Hey, you should come and visit. Stay here for a few days
Becca: Yeah sure
Raven: And you can take your family with you
Becca: sounds lovely
Raven: My apartment is too small, but you can stay at my best friend's place, Clarke.
Becca: You sure that's okay for her?
Raven: I'll have to ask, but she's probably okay with it. She lives in a big penthouse and have like two or three guestrooms. I think it's two upstairs and one downstairs.
Becca: Well xD let me know how it goes
Raven: I will. It was nice talking to you again
Becca: Nice talking to you too, Rae
Raven beamed at her phone and hugged it. They texted like they were never going to stop. "Do you think it's okay for Clarke?" Luna asked. "Yeah, sure. I'll text her right away to make sure it's okay" she swiped her way to Clarke's name.
Raven: Hey
Clarke: Hey
Raven: I got in touch with Becca again
Clarke: What? That's great!
Raven: Ya, is it okay if Becca, her husband and son stays at your guestroom for a couple of days? If it's too much to ask, I'll tell them to book a hotel.
Clarke: No, It's fine. I'd love to have them over
Raven: great! Thank you so much, I'll text her ;)
Clarke: You do that, but Raven?
Raven: Yes?
Clarke: Is she fine with staying at a stranger's apartment?
Raven: Trust me, she won't treat you like a stranger. She never does that to anyone. It's fine
Clarke: Okay, then :)
Luna could feel how excited Raven was. Her shoulder grinned at Luna's. She had to let out a short laugh, but Raven was too busy texting her sister.
Raven: Hey, it's okay. You can stay at Clarke's for a few days
Becca: How nice of her :) But when?
Raven: Whenever you want :D
Becca: what about Saturday 25th to Wednesday 28th?
Raven: Yeah sure. I'm going back to work 26th, but the office is in the same building as my apartment, so just stop by if you need me :)
Becca: I will. But I have to go, got to tell my husband that we are going to visit you
Raven: omg, I can't wait
Becca: me neither
Raven was so happy she had just kissed Luna. The girl was surprised but glad Raven had kissed her. The two of them seemed to be pretty comfortable with each other already. "I'm sorry, I just got a little overexcited" Raven embarrassedly smiled. "No, it's okay" Luna whispered and leaned in for another kiss.
"Wow, it's beautiful here" Abby gaped as she walked in to Clarke's pent house for the first time in a long time. She had refurnished it. "Thanks" Clarke showed Abby where the kitchen was, it had clearly been a long time since her mother had been here.
Clarke put the bags of party decorations on the table along with her phone. She had faced the refrigerator for ten seconds and her phone buzzed. The blonde quickly grabbed two glass bottles and turned back to face her phone. Lexa's name had popped up on the screen. Her eyes slipped to her mother's, she had clearly seen who the texted her.
"What?" Clarke asked as she tried not to laugh. "Nothing" Her mother shrugged discreet. Clarke sat down, gave her mother a weird look before she read the message.
Brunette: Hey, do you want to stop by for lunch later?
Blondie: I'd love to… but I can't. I totally forgot it was Bellamy's birthday today, and that I'm the one that is throwing him a surprise party
Brunette: What a bummer. But have fun planning his party, I'm sure it will be great
Blondie: It will. Do you want to come?
Brunette: Maybe I'll stop by ;)
AN: Yeah, that was chapter 17. I'm sorry it was a short one, because it had many texts messages. I'm not sure if I will be able to publish the next chapter real soon, I have midterms coming up, so my time will go to studying. Be patient with me :) Thank you to all that have favorited, followed, reviewed and still reading this story :) That's what keeps me writing.
