AN: In last chapter, Lexa and Clarke finally became girlfriends, how do you feel about that? Leave a review!
"She will be visiting me soon! And she is staying in Clarke's penthouse. She has a husband and a kid, like oh my god! I can't wait to see her!" Raven excitedly jumped. Finn didn't seem as excited as Raven was.
"What's wrong, you're not happy?"
"Yes, of course I am. I remember Becca. She's nice" Raven gave him a hug. "I'm gonna go up to Clarke. Love you, bye"
"Love you too"
"Bye, Bellamy!" Raven shouted before she closed the door.
"You still haven't told her?" Bellamy asked his friend after Raven had left.
"No. And it's going to stay that way. She will never forgive me if it comes out" Finn kept eating the grilled cheese.
"You have to tell her eventually. This must come from you, she can't find it out by someone else telling her" Bellamy warned.
"But no one else but you know but you, well… if she hasn't told anyone" Finn started. "You haven't told anyone, right?" he looked at Bellamy and frowned as the Blake hesitated.
"After you told me… I ran into Clarke… and"
"You told her!? Clarke!" Finn said loudly frustrated. "Calm down. It's just Clarke." Bellamy tried to calm him down.
"Clarke is Raven's best friend!"
"She's yours too! She knows how much this will hurt Raven, why would she tell? Yes, she doesn't want to keep secrets from Raven, especially not if it's something about her… but she promised me, Finn. She promised she would never tell. But I had to convince you to do it" Bellamy said with a loud, yet calm voice.
Finn sighed. "I'll guess I have to tell her… maybe I'll tell her after the party. I don't want to argue with her during your party"
"Okay, but you have to tell her after the party" Bellamy pointed his fingers. He was serious. Finn nodded.
Bellamy thought Finn needed some comfort beer, so he searched in his fridge for two bottles of beer.
"Thanks" a little smile gathered in the corner of his mouth. "Do you think I'm a bad person?"
Bellamy looked at his friend and shook his head. "You are human, we make mistakes" he nudged his beer against Finn's. "All of us have made mistakes, even me" he took a sip of the beer and smiled as his friend chortled.
"I slept with her sister… while Raven and I were still together. I regret it so much. I guess drunk people are more convincing than sober ones" Finn almost drank the half bottle.
"I know all about that" Bellamy laughed. He thought about how many drunk women he has slept with. Unlucky for Bellamy, everyone he had slept with remembered it the next day, but Becca said she didn't remember a thing. She had really no clue.
"Alright, thanks for the talk. And the beer" Finn thanked as both of them had drunk it all up. "I'll see you later at Clarke's"
"Yeah"
"It's Raven!" her friend shouted before they could hear the door close.
"Raven is here" Clarke whispered to her girlfriend. She could feel Lexa tried to remove herself from Clarke, but the blonde just gently pulled her back. "Stay"
"Here you are, what's this?" Raven asked as she entered the living room and found the two of them rest on each other. Clarke's hand slipped from Lexa's thigh to her hand, she squeezed it and lifted it so Raven would take the hint.
"Are you guys?" She stopped and gaped as Clarke and Lexa happily nodded. "Oh my god! Congratulations you guys!" Raven happily waved her hands. "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me, Clarke!" Raven walked over there to slap her arm.
"Ouch, Rae! It happened just now. No need to slap, Jesus" Clarke laughed at her friend. Lexa embraced Clarke and pulled her away from Raven.
"Oh, okay. Sorry" Raven innocently apologized with her hands in the air. She had to admit she was a little afraid Clarke would slap her back. The blonde indeed slapped hard, Raven have experience of that.
"I have to go, gotta get back to work" Lexa sadly said with puppy eyes and brows, but still managed to show her beautiful smile. "Awwe" Clarke pouted. "okay" she sighed. "I'll followed you to the door" Clarke pulled Lexa's hand and lead her to the door.
After Lexa had put on her coat, the blonde couldn't wait any longer, she had to kiss her. And she did. "I'll see you at the party" Lexa smiled. "Yeah" Clarke kissed Lexa once again, she didn't want the brunette to go, but understood well she had to get back to work.
"okay, go" She smiled at the brunette. "Bye, beautiful" Lexa touched Clarke's shoulder, gave her a warm smile. The blonde watched the brunette walk in the elevator. She had butterflies in her stomach. Lexa called her beautiful. Clarke almost cracked up her face because of all the smiling.
The blonde made her way back to her friend, who was surprisingly enough not in the living room. "Rae?"
"In the kitchen"
As Clarke entered the kitchen, she had to laugh. Her friend had already taken a few bites of Lexa's sandwich who she never got to eat. Raven even took a sip of Lexa's smoothie. "I love sandwiches from Café Niy, those are the best" she said with her mouth full.
"I know" Clarke smiled. Raven noticed it and smiled back. "I'm happy for you"
"Thank you. I'm going to call Octavia and tell her"
"No, tell her at the party. The reaction in real life is better" Raven suggested. Clarke nodded in agreement. She wanted to text all her friends and tell her, but it would be easier to just show them at the party.
"You want to scream, right?" Raven smirked. Clarke excitedly nodded and trapped her scream while she excitedly jumped up and down. It was like watching a kid who had gotten too much sugar. Raven had to walk over to the blonde and join her. The two of them was indeed happy.
"I can't wait to the party! I will get to see my… girlfriend!" Clarke's smile widened. Raven wished to be this happy with Luna. If only Lexa knew how happy Clarke was, she would have a hard time going back to work.
"You deserve this. To be happy" Raven smiled. She had noticed she just said something soft. "Like I deserve this sandwich" she sat down and continued to eat it. Clarke laughed at her friend. She always covered her soft side by saying something stupid.
"Let's watch orange is the new black" Clarke suggested.
"But what about Octavia, we can't watch without her" Raven frowned. "Well…" Clarke bit her lower lip. She always did that when she was going to say something that may cause madness in people. "She has watched it without us… I know you wanted the three of us to watch it together and that you get very mad when one of us watch it alone… but she did. And she didn't want me to tell you, because you would get mad…"
Raven exhaled. "I'm not mad" she tried to say with a calm voice. "okay maybe a little" she confessed. Clarke shrugged. "Do you still want to watch it?"
"With you? Of course"
"Titus?" Lexa called for her assistant. He came in right away. This one wall on her office, was of glass. Everyone could look straight in to her enormous office.
"Yes, Heda"
"Get Anya to this office, this instant" Lexa said with her serious hot bossy voice.
"As you wish" he bows his head before he walked out to get Anya. It didn't long before Anya was in her office. Titus closed the door after Anya and waited outside. "What is it?" She asked worried. She thought her sister would be angry because of the article that was supposed to be done by today. But it wasn't that. In fact, she looked happy.
"Smile much?" Anya chuckled. "Lexa, what is it?" her sister asked once again as Lexa didn't answer.
"Oh, I'm sorry" Lexa chuckled. "Let's sit" she leaded the way to the big couches. The girl exhaled to prepare her sister, and herself. "I have girlfriend now"
"What? Are you kidding? Oh my god! That's great! I'm so happy for you, Lex! Wait, who is it? WAIT! IS IT CLARKE? OH MY GOD! IT'S CLARKE!" Anya happily clapped her hands together in excitement. She knew how happy Clarke made her. And Lexa haven't had a real girlfriend in years.
"Yes, It's Clarke. And I'm really happy" the brunette said. She was all shaken up by excitement.
"Lexa, this is wonderful news! We have to celebrate… what about after work?" Anya suggested. "Anya. I know what you are doing. I remember your deadline for the article was today. You can't get away with this one, Anya. I really have to step up this time" the brunette said with a bossy voice.
"Wow, talk about mood changes"
"I'm serious, An. You have a deadline, and it's today" Lexa reminded her once again, even though she knew Anya knew when the deadline was.
"I was busy… you understand, right?" Anya gave her sister an innocent look.
"Anya!" Lexa said a little louder. "I can't keep giving you special treatment, just because you're my sister. It's unfair for the others"
Anya swallowed. She seemed a little frightened of what Lexa may do next. As Lexa saw how terrified her sister looked, she sighed. She couldn't bear to be the reason her sister was like this.
"Tomorrow. The deadline is tomorrow night, understood?"
Anya happily nodded and hugged her sister. It was crazy how much not related by blood siblings could be this bonded. It didn't really matter for them if they had the same blood or not. Sure, blood was thicker than water. But they were ice. Like the thick ice in Antarctic.
"Love you" Anya smiled at her understanding boss before she headed out the door. Anya knew well that Lexa love her, but didn't have to hear it this time. She could see it through Lexa's smile.
"Anya wait, could you send in Costia please?"
Anya nodded, and it didn't take long before Costia entered the room. "I have read the papers you asked me to read, and I have written three pages already. I still have till tonight to finish the fourth"
"No… that's not why I asked for you to come. Please, sit down" Lexa pointed at the chair on the other side of her desk. Costia frowned. "oh no. You always say to sit down when you think it's something serious. Oh no. Am I fired?"
"No! I would never do that, you're good at your job… I just wanted to tell you something" Lexa began. "Clarke and I… are a couple now" Lexa looked straight into Costia's eyes. She searched for pain and angriness.
"Tha-that's great...! This is what you wanted right? Yeah…" Costia forced a smile. "I'm happy for you…" she quickly wiped away a small tear that was on its way to fall. "See, I even get happy tears" she forced a laugh.
"Costia…" Lexa tried.
"This is great news, but I have to continue writing. I lied, I've only written one page, so I ave to hurry. bye" Costia hurried out of Lexa's office. The brunette could only sigh to herself. Was their friendship ruined? She didn't know. Obviously, Costia forced herself to be happy for her. Lexa just wanted some honesty… well… it hadn't change anything if Costia would have get mad.
"Titus!" Lexa called for her assistant again.
"Yes, Heda. He bursted in the door.
"Send Luna in here"
He bows his head. "As you wish"
"Oh my god! What a quick reply! Honey, I got in! I'm a counselor!" Emma excitedly shouted.
"Oh my god! Sweetie, that's great news!" Cage said as he entered the living room. "And what a quick reply, Jesus"
Emma laughed and continued reading. "And they want me to start working as soon as possible! That means after the winter break" she gaped with a huge smile. Cage leaned in to kiss his wife. "So proud"
Emma smiled so much with happiness and cuteness, she almost pouted. "I love you" Cage smiled. He carefully pecked on Emma's lips. The innocent, but still loving kiss, became to a hungrier one.
Emma put down her computer on the table and pushed Cage on his back. She was laying on top of him.
"Mommy…?" Isabella walked to her parents. Emma quickly removed her lips from her husbands and sat up. "Yes, honey?"
"I don't want to play alone… can you play with me?" the little girl asked as she had her sparkly puppy eyes to convince her.
"Sure, go and play, I'll come soon" Emma gave her daughter a promising smile. After Isabella had run to the other side of the living room. Emma's eyes went back to look at Cage. "We should hire a babysitter" she suggested.
"good idea. But who?"
"I don't know… what about Clarke and her wife?" Emma gaped.
"Wife? I thought she wasn't seeing anyone" Cage said with an unsecure voice. "Yes, she has. I met her at the Café. They were a couple, I could see it. I think she thought I may be a homophobic or something, so she hid it from me. I understand, telling others that you're gay aren't the most normal first impression"
Cage nodded. He thought back at the first time he and Emma met. Emma had though he was gay. "They should babysit then, if they want to. Maybe tomorrow will be a good day"
"I'll text her" she reached for her phone and leaned against her husband.
Emma: Hey
As always, Clarke was fast to answer her texts, she always carried her phone around. Twenty-four seven.
Clarke: Hey, you
Emma: This may be weird, since we just met. But are you and your wife interested in babysitting Isabella? You can say no.
The three dots appeared on the screen and disappeared after a few seconds. It just went a few moments before the three dots came back.
Clarke: Yeah, sure. I'll have to ask her first tho
Emma: Thank you, let me know if you can. Cage and I love Isabella, but we need some time for alone too
Clarke: understandable. I'll call her now
Emma: Thank you. And if you can, how sounds 4 pm to 7 pm? Too much?
Clarke: I want you guys to have a great time, we would love to stay there as much as you need us for
Emma: You're so nice! Thank you so much
Clarke: That's what friends are for ;)
Clarke smiled at her phone. She was happy Emma trusted her enough to babysit her daughter. Even though they just met! She swiped her way to Lexa's number and pressed the call button.
"Hey, you"
"Hey, beautiful" she could almost hear that Lexa smiled on the other side of the phone.
"Weirdest thing ever, Emma asked me if we could babysit Isabella tomorrow" Clarke chuckled. So did Lexa.
"Yeah, sure. But you know I get off work 3 pm tomorrow"
"Yes, I know. She wanted us to come over 4 pm, and stay there to 7 pm or something, maybe longer or shorter, I don't know"
"That would be fun" Lexa said.
"So, you're in?" The blonde asked.
"I'm in"
The couple kept talking for a while before something important with Lexa's work interrupted them.
"I have to go, bye Clarke"
"Bye, Lex"
Clarke was felt enthusiasm bubble inside her body. First of all, she was going to babysit her niece, and the best part is that Lexa is going to do it as well. She was really looking forward to it. She quickly texted her sister, which by the way doesn't know their sisters yet, but Clarke would handle it soon. She informed her sister that Lexa and she were coming tomorrow four pm and will stay there with Isabella till Emma and Cage get back.
Emma was clearly happy about it. She had told her what Isabella likes to eat, play and watch. Isabella was shy, but after like ten minutes, she would get so damn comfortable with everyone. Which was great.
She went back to the living room were Raven was. "Hey! you started without me!" she jumped beside raven, gave her a little nudge on the shoulder.
"You were gone for a long time" Raven tried to defend herself and just laughed when Clarke pouted.
AN: So, yeah. That was chapter 19. I hoped you like it. And thanks to all that have followed and favorited the last few days. It means a lot to me, and I know I'm desperate for reviews, but I just want you to leave a little feedback, that's all I'm asking for. Well, thanks for keeping up with me. Chapter 20 will be out soon, I hope. Bye!
