AN: I'm sorry for not publishing in over a week… Like I said… I'm kind of going through a hard time. I haven't had much time to write, and I appreciate your patience.
!SPOIL!I'm not going to spoil much, but there's coming an important character in this story that's kind of based on me and my experience. She's going to have the same personality as me. In that way, you will get to know me and my background by reading about her. Yes, it's a girl.
"What?" Lexa smiled as she noticed Clarke was stupidly looking at her with her cute smile. Clarke just shrugged and looked at Lexa with more love. "I don't know. I'm just so in love with you"
The brunette smiled her most beautiful smile. Her heart melted. She wanted to say something, but didn't want to ruin the moment. Clarke was the sweetest. She just wanted to kiss her all the time but didn't want to be intrusive.
She didn't know why Clarke would say that. She had never thought of herself that way. Never. But she never spoke bad about herself either. And I guess that is a good thing, to not be too confident and have too much self-esteem and over talk yourself all the time. But still have self-respect, and not talk yourself down.
The brunette gave a gentle smile to the blonde. Carefully grabbed Clarke's head and pulled her in to a pleasurable kiss. Clarke laid a hand on Lexa's cheek and kissed her back. The two of them took a moment to appreciate their relationship. The blonde started giggling quietly and made Lexa chuckle.
They talked about how fast time had passed. In a few days, it was Christmas. And Lexa were actually going to celebrate it with Clarke and her family. She finally got to meet her family, for real this time and not just get introduced over and over again.
And believe me, Clarke wanted Abby and Kane to get to know Lexa. She wanted them to see how an amazing person she is. But according to Abby's face when Clarke talked about Lexa, the mother seemed to like the girl. Which is the opposite she felt for Niylah. And Kane seemed to like her too.
Lexa was dying to introduce Clarke to her parents. At least that's what she told Clarke. And the blonde couldn't wait to meet them. It was obvious how much Lexa loved them. The two of them finished their hamburgers and kept talking about Christmas.
"Well fuck" Lexa said after she let out a deep breath and threw her phone on the couch. She got up and that really made Clarke curios. The girl hurried her way to her desk and started looking for something.
"What's going on?" Clarke asked a little worried. She knew it was work stuff, but the way Lexa stressed it had to be something important. Lexa just shook her head. "I'm sorry Clarke" she began and continued looking for something. "There is just some papers that I had to send…" she stopped for a second and closed her eyes. Her hands ran through her face and she exhaled deep. "Oh my god, I totally forgot that Titus sent them"
Clarke walked over to Lexa, faced her and caressed her arms. She wrapped her arms around the brunette and tried to calm her. "Do you stress like this often?" Clarke said with a calm voice and rocked Lexa gently from side to side.
The brunette went along with the rocking. It helped. Clarke reminded Lexa a little bit of Luna. Whenever Lexa was stressed, sad, angry, frustrated, irritated or not calm. Luna were the one to calm her down. With her good hugs and her calm voice. She even popped in her office just to check if she needed a hug. And Lexa was grateful for a friend like that.
"Thanks" Lexa softly said. She looked at the clock that was behind Clarke. "Lunch is over" she hugged Clarke tighter. She heard the blonde whimper a little. She didn't want to let go of the brunette. "Thanks for stopping by" Lexa whispered and kept hugging Clarke.
The blonde slowly pulled away, but not too far. "I'll see you later at Emma's" Clarke said with a low sexy voice. Whenever she talked with a low voice, it was this deep and sexy voice. So hot. As Lexa wanted to kiss her so bad, she leaned in for a kiss but the blonde just turned her head so the brunette would place a sweet kiss on her cheek. Just to tease her the blonde bit her lip.
"Later babe" Clarke smiled and walked to get her purse that was on the couch. Lexa chuckled and chook her head. That was some girl. She kind of liked being teased by Clarke. But now she just wanted to kiss her more.
The brunette couldn't wait to meet her at Emma's later. About Emma by the way. When where Clarke going to tell her that she is her sister? "Clarke?" Lexa hurried asking the blonde before she walked out of the office.
The blonde turned around. "Yes?" she said simply as she reached for the handle.
Lexa didn't want to upset her but she just had to ask. Because lies like this never ended good. They didn't know that Abby and Emma were happy together now, but it did take a while. "I'm sorry. It may not be my place to ask, but when are you planning telling Emma you're her sister?" Lexa nervously asked.
Clarke didn't seem mad. Just insecure. "I don't know Lexa" she shrugged and let go of the handle. "What if I tell her… and she hates me? Just like she hates my mom" Clarke sighed and Lexa walked over to her and pulled the blonde into a long and warm hug.
"You're not getting anywhere with that lie…" Lexa began. Still not letting go of Clarke. "When we get there… you have to tell her the truth… it's only fair to her… she has the right to know who's going to baby sit her daughter… and…" Lexa paused. "We have to tell her the truth about us. We're not married"
Clarke sighed. She knew Lexa was right. And she had to tell Emma the truth. It wasn't so hard? Just words, right? She placed a kiss on Lexa cheek and gave her a thankful smile.
Clarke got nervous as she pulled in front of her mother's house. She prepared what she was going to say to her. "Mom. I'm going to tell Emma the truth… I'm going to tell that I'm her sister" It wasn't much. But she imagined her mother nodding and hugging her.
Clarke knocked on the door and opened it. "Hello?" she took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack. "Hello" she heard a woman's voice coming from the living room.
"Hey mom" she embraced her mom. The loving mother embraced her back. "Hey baby" she gave her a warm smile. "I have great news to tell you" The older woman smiled.
"I have something I have to tell you too" Clarke said, just not as happy as her mother was.
"You go first" The older woman offered. Clarke took a deep breath. "I'm going to babysit Isabella later, right?" Clarke began and continued as Abby nodded. "I think I may tell her that I'm her sister…" she looked at her mother.
"Yeah, I think that's a great idea" her mother started. "In fact, I went to Emma's house and came back just now. I talked to her and we're okay" She nodded and did nothing but nod and smile. She was obviously happy.
Clarke smiled. "She forgave you? For lying?" her face lit up. There was hope for Clarke. Emma would may not be mad at her. And Clarke only lied because she wanted to get a good first impression with Emma and not the impression Emma and her mother got. But I guess lying is not a good first impression either.
"we're going to be a family…" Abby smiled even more. They were already a big family, but with Emma, Isabella and Cage… they were bigger. Clarke couldn't wait to tell Emma. But she was still afraid the girl may reject her.
The two of them talked for a while. And after an hour, Kane joined the conversation. It was nice the three of them talked together. It had been a long time. Because Clarke used to talk to them every day. But then things happened to Niylah and Clarke, and the blonde blamed her mother. Then her parents moved away… they lost contact… but now… they're together again… and it felt like an amazing reunion.
"Are you sure we can get late lunch now? Lunch were hours ago Costia…" Luna said as Costia dragged her. "Of course, we can. We have to work overtime, so why not grab some food. And since Anya is in Paris, we have so much work- "Costia began.
"Yes, that's why it's not a good idea to grab food… especially without permission" Luna started. "permission from Lexa? Come on, she's out best friend. I'm sure she won't mind" Costia dragged Luna's hand and out of the building.
"Hope she won't mind" Luna pressed her lips to a thin line and went along with Costia.
"She won't"
Twenty-five minutes had passed and they were back in the building. Laughed as they got out of the elevator. "Where have you guys been!?" Octavia asked with an angry voice. Remember she was Indra's assistant? Yeah, she works in the same building and same floor as Lexa. "Lexa have been crazy mad!" she added.
Luna and Costia looked at each other. Frightened. "There you are" Titus said with a dark voice. "Heda want's you in her office. NOW" he commanded. Both girls nodded and followed Titus.
Titus opened the door and Luna swallowed as they saw Lexa sit in her chair. With her arms crossed. Luna and Costia sat down on the chairs. "Lex, I'm so sorry-" Luna started but shut her mouth as Lexa raised her hand up in the air. It meant silence.
She leaned a little on her desk. "What made you think that you could leave the building for I don't know, half an hour?" Lexa asked. But Luna knew well that she didn't want an answer. Either way, Costia took the chance to answer. "it was twenty-five minutes" Costia corrected.
"I don't give a flying fuck!" Lexa said with an angry and loud voice. Luna knew too well that she couldn't calm her down now. She could calm Lexa, but afraid to calm the great Heda. Costia didn't seemed frightened, in fact she didn't react at all.
"You can't just leave without asking" Lexa said with a less angry voice. "And don't drag Luna with you" she added.
"And what made you think this was my idea?" Costia asked with a big frown her forehead. It was her idea, but she was a little offended that Lexa always blamed her and not Luna.
"Because Luna never do these things. Just you." Lexa said with a calm voice. She didn't want Costia to get madder than she already was. "You have to act professional at work. And don't think that you have different rules just because we're … close"
Costia scoffed. "What's that supposed to mean?" she shook her head. "To you, Luna have always been your favorite, huh? Well you know what Lexa. You're not my favorite either. And you want me to act professional?" She calmed her voice. "I will act damn professional" she crossed her arms.
"I don't have favorites" Lexa started. She tried to get Costia to look at her. "Costia look at me" Costia looked at Lexa. The brunette started talking as she got her attention. "I love you both equally. No one more or less" she looked at Luna and Costia and touched their hands. "You know that?"
Luna nodded and smiled at her best friend. Costia sighed and tried to smile. She nodded. She now understood that Lexa was right. "I love you too Lex… And I'm sorry… I won't do that again" Costia actually smiled this time. And it was beautiful. It made Lexa's heart beat faster. She hasn't seen that smile in a while now. And she loved it so much.
"oh get over here!" she got up and waved her hand. Luna and Costia ran to Lexa and embraced her. A group hug like this was always so loving. And it really helped. It had been a while since the three of them hugged as a group.
"oh Lexa. You have to hurry. You have to get home and change and meet Clarke!" Luna reminded her. "Oh shit" Lexa stormed out the office with laughter behind her back.
Clarke had been standing in front of Emma's door for more than ten minutes. It started to get cold. She was stubborn, and was determined that she was going to tell her the truth about who she really was.
She was just about to knock, but turned around as she heard a car. It was Lexa. The brunette looked so damn hot with her hair loose and with her black skinny jeans. Clarke bit her lip as Lexa walked towards her with an adorable smile on her face.
"Hey, you" Lexa greeted and kissed Clarke on the cheek. "Hey" the blonde greeted back. Her eyes rolled from Lexa's shoes to the brunette's green eyes. "You look hot" she said with a smile. The brunette chuckled. "You think?" she flipped her hair and thanked the blonde.
Since Lexa noticed how nervous Clarke was, Lexa grabbed Clarke by the waist and knocked on the door. Lexa could feel Clarke's arm around her waist too.
"Hey!" Emma smiled at them both with a big smile. She was all dressed up. She wore a blue dress, it looked so beautiful on her. "Wow, you look beautiful" Clarke smiled at her sister. Cage hugged Emma from behind. He had on a smoking. "And you look handsome" Clarke added, smiling at Lexa who fully agreed.
"Thank you again for doing this. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this" Emma thanked them once again. "Everything for my s… super good friend" Clarke saved herself. She wanted to tell Emma now, but what if she ruins the whole night for the couple?
Emma opened the door wider and let them in. Lexa and Cage made their way to Isabella. Clarke and Emma stood on the other side of the living room and watched their love of their lives play with a beautiful kid.
Clarke coughed to get Emma's attention. It felt like she couldn't breathe when her sister was looking at her with that smile. That nice warm smile. Clarke swallowed hard. "I-I" she stemmed. "I have to tell you something…" the blonde prepared the other blonde.
Clarke nodded in the direction of the kitchen where the two of them could talk in private. Emma still smiled at Clarke, but she had a tiny little frown on her forehead. Clarke exhaled and looked at her sister. Her mind was running wild, it said 'just tell her: "I'm your sister! I'm your sister!" but she panicked as Emma asked if something was wrong. She held Clarke's hand. And that's when Clarke started to heat up, she was burning.
"Well it's really not easy… I don't know how you're going to react… and I don't want you to get mad…" Clarke began. Emma had her full attention. She squeezed Clarke's hand to make her feel safe. And she did. But Clarke still panicked. As the truth chocked Clarke, she had to come up with something else.
"I just want to be clear that… Lexa and I… aren't really married" she pressed her lips to a thin line and let go of Emma's hand. Her heart was beating fast as hell and was a little afraid Emma could hear it.
"Why would I be mad?" Emma smiled at Clarke. "Just because you said you were wives doesn't mean you lied? You're married by heart, right?" she grabbed Clarke hand.
Clarke threw her most adorable smile at Emma and were pleased by her words. "I guess" she gently shrugged her shoulders. "We haven't known each other for a long time, but I guess love isn't about how long you have known the other. It's about how much love I've felt for Lexa in this little time we have known each other…" Clarke just realized that Lexa and she have only known each other a few days. It was strange because of what she felt for Lexa, was kind of what she felt for Niylah… but with Lexa… it was… different, but in a good way.
"Well said" Emma squeezed Clarke's hand. "I'm putting that in my book" Emma chuckled. Clarke laughed, and both of them made their way to the living room. Clarke leaned on the door frame. The sight of Lexa smiling to a two-year-old, and playing Barbie with her made her smile.
The way Lexa smiled and talked to Isabella made Clarke's heart melt. Emma noticed the way Clarke smiled at Lexa, and it was just adorable. A few minutes later, Cage came out of the bathroom and the couple were ready to go on their date. Emma kissed Isabella goodbye and thanked Lexa and Clarke once again for taking care of her.
A few hours had passed and the three of them had settled on the couch. Isabella laid half asleep between Lexa and Clarke. "You're good with kids" Clarke smiled at Lexa as Isabella had her head on Lexa's lap, almost falling asleep while watching a movie. Lexa smiled back at the blonde. "You know, I wasn't just a dog walker… I worked in a kindergarten too" she said and tried not to laugh.
"Kindergarten, really?" Clarke raised her brows and smiled. She was surprised Lexa had never mentioned it. Lexa chuckled. "When I had summer break, I volunteered to help out in the kindergarten, since they didn't have a lot of people. I gave it a try, and ended up liking it. And I don't regret it, those kids were adorable and I'd rather wipe some kid's ass than stay at home" Lexa chuckled. It made Clarke chuckle, but it hurt a little to think about Lexa's childhood. It was though, the brunette had a rough childhood. She knew better than started asking questions about her childhood. It wasn't the time.
Instead the blonde jumped of the couch and sat beside Lexa. The brunette was looking at Clarke. Studying her face. Clarke removed some brown soft hair that was in front of Lexa's face. Not that her eyes weren't hidden, she could admire them. Oh how much Clarke loved Lexa's green sparkling eyes.
Clarke bit her lips and gently touched Lexa's cheek. Her thumb was slowly moving up and down, making Lexa chuckle. Clarke put her hand down on her lap. Clarke's body faced Lexa's, her head rested on her arm that was leaning against the couch. She kept smiling at Lexa as the brunette looked back at the tv.
Once again, the blonde got butterflies in her stomach. How did we end up here? She thought. From meeting a 'bitchy business lady' at Lincoln and Octavia's engagement party, to sit next to the love of her life. Yes, Clarke already knew… this woman next to her was the love of her life.
