A/N Okay so I usually don't do it this way but in order to get the full Lexa's phone call conversation you have to read With a Side of Voss Chapter 19. Some how I wrote it in on that side and decided to stick with it because I like giving Raven a bigger role with Lexa. Okay now onto this chapter well it's super long but I needed to get a little pshhh out with some fluff and I hope you guys like it. I think it's finally that step forward time and they are going to do it like for real with a lot of music. Thanks for the support. xoxo

Lexa sat in her suv next to Raven. She had called the one person she hoped was partially neutral to the situation and of course she stepped up for her. Raven had left Octavia and Clarke in the bar to come talk to her, to come listen to her. She never really had any close friends but Costia and they weren't even on good terms now because of her feelings for her. Taking a drink of her water she watched Raven and her demeanor. She was confident and happy and part of that came from being with Octavia. She was letting her personality and who she is be affected by Octavia and she owned it. Lexa realized she needed to go back to being that way with Clarke. She needed to stop thinking Clarke was going to run away or hurt her because in all honesty that is the last thing Clarke ever wanted to do to her. What had happened wasn't Clarke's fault it was a ball of misunderstandings that just happened to equal everything hurting her.
"Come on why don't we go back to the bar and get her. I think this seat is meant for her more then it is for me." Raven waited to see if Lexa was going to agree.
"Okay but you do know they both are going to kill us right." Lexa looked at Raven who was smiling.
"Oh trust me I know but it's okay I have a black eye already so Octavia can't beat me up anymore and well as for Clarke and you. I suggest you just be prepared to get hit." Raven laughed seeing Lexa face drop a little.
"That is the second time I have been told that and after the first time it actually happened so let's just hope it doesn't happen again." Lexa turned in her seat tapping the window for the driver to roll it down.
"Clarke hit you?" Raven spit out her water shocked hearing what Lexa had just said.
"Back to the bar please." Lexa asked her driver before turning back to Raven.
"Yes she backhanded me pretty good when we were both breaking down after the whole Echo thing and the kiss." Lexa rubbed her cheek just thinking about it.
"Damn point for Griffin. Remind me to thank her because I planned on doing it myself if Octavia hadn't got to you first." Raven laughed hearing Lexa take a deep breath.
"It's okay I think because you actually went to Clarke last night Octavia is not only proud of her doings but she has forgiven you for now." Raven tapped Lexa's leg feeling the suv stop.
"Okay are you ready for this?" Raven looked over at Lexa who actually looked kind of white.
"Just breath Voss this is Clarke were going to see not the queen of England." Raven hopped out of the car waiting for Lexa who got out eventually.
Lexa stood next to her car nervous for whatever reason that could be. Wanting to pace she stood still laughing at Raven the girl was hilarious. She had to admit she was happy that she called Raven she was happy that she turned to someone who knew Clarke. Someone other than Echo who would have obviously been bias and on top of it all she learned her lesson. Lexa watched Raven texting before she shoved her phone back in her pocket leaning against the suv
"Are they coming out?" Lexa rubbed her hands together.
"Yup, so do you think I can borrow one of these things one day. I look really good standing against it." Lexa looked at Raven laughing because she was so trying to own the car.
"Yes you can borrow one but make sure it's just Octavia who joins you." Lexa seen the girls walk out of the bar looking around she seen that Octavia spotted them first and then she seen Clarke stiffen a little heading their way.
"I look good right because I am going to need it right about now." Lexa heard Raven but she was focused on Clarke.
Clarke walked out of the bar wondering what was so important that Raven had to drag her and Octavia from their favorite bar let alone their beers. Turning looking around she seen Octavia a few steps ahead of her headings towards a black suv and that is when she spotted her. Raven was leaning against the car looking completely smug with her typical swagger but it was Lexa who caught her eye. The brunette looked nervous she seemed to be rocking on her feet like she wanted to pace. Stepping up to them she stared at Lexa letting blue meet green. She could hear the banter going on between Octavia and Raven but she didn't care.
"Are you two going to speak of just stare at each other." Clarke heard Octavia before that actual hit.
"Hey" Lexa wasn't even sure how she got the words out of her mouth but she did. They had just seen each other this morning yet both of them were acting like this was a first date.
"Wow I never thought I would see this day. My best friend is speechless and the commander is shy." Clarke turned to glare at her best friend and she noticed Lexa was doing the same. Biting her lip she had to hold back her smile at Octavia's comment though because it was true. They both were acting like teenagers.
"Raven do you want the car." Lexa decided it was time for a change. Hearing Raven stumble over her words she skipped over her and Octavia for a moment never letting her eyes leave Clarke's.
"Clarke would you like to walk with me?" Lexa watched Clarke's eyes seeing her hesitate for just a second before a small smile played on her lips.
Clarke wanted to jump into Lexa's arms right then and there but she figured she'd wait a few so her best friend didn't get even more satisfaction just yet. Reaching out she grabbed Lexa's hand gripping her hard so the brunette could feel her. She made sure she stepped up close to Lexa as they started to walk. She loved feeling both their arms brushing as they headed towards the park.
"You know they are never going to let this down right." Clarke spoke hearing Lexa laugh a little.
"I know but I don't care." Lexa ran her thumb over Clarke's knuckles. She missed the feeling of the girl's hand in hers.
"You didn't text me today." Clarke decided to ask keeping her eyes locked on Lexa for anything.
"I wanted to give you your space." Lexa was being honest. With the way she left the apartment she wasn't sure what to do.
"I never said I needed space Lexa." Clarke knew that this morning was odd and this was the aftermath.
"You didn't say I" Lexa was cut off by Clarke.
"I did Lexa. I did say it but you were already out the door." Clarke knew immediately what Lexa was referring too. Lexa hadn't heard her say she loved her back and now Lexa's actions made a little more sense.
"Clarke I just." Lexa was cut off again.
"Lexa I love you. What are you not getting about that." Clarke stopped jerking Lexa's hand till they were facing each other.
"It's not that Clarke." Lexa could feel herself getting frustrated.
"Then what is it because from the looks of it Lexa it's you questioning this all of a sudden and not me." Clarke watched Lexa's eyes snap up to meet hers.
"You know that isn't true." Lexa kept her tone flat.
"Then why did you call Raven and not me?" Clarke was curious.
"I have my reasons Clarke." Lexa wasn't sure how to tell Clarke that she had run into Gustus.
"See Lexa this is exactly why we are where we are." Clarke jerked her hand away this time.
"What is that suppose to mean?" Lexa watched Clarke turn around.
"This Lexa both of us. We're not communicating. I know the past 48 hours have been fucking crazy but we have to talk to each other. If we don't, if we don't it's not going to work." Clarke turned back around seeing Lexa almost looking like she was going to cry.
"I'm afraid Clarke, that's my problem I'm afraid." Lexa turned heading towards the park bench because she needed to sit but she felt her arm get tugged on.
"Afraid of what?" Clarke had pulled Lexa back to look at her.
"Everything. Like you said the past 48 hours have been crazy." Lexa knew her answer wasn't going to work.
"You're holding back Lexa. What is it? Why did you call Raven instead of me." Clarke grabbed Lexa's phone out of her pocket opening it up holding it to the brunettes face.
"Clarke." Lexa seen the screen was still on her contacts.
"Lexa why couldn't you call me. Please talk to me." Clarke stomped her foot before turning the phone around she seen the contacts open.
"My name is first Lexa way before Raven's." Clarke scrolled the list stopping when she seen Echo's name.
"I don't even know how it got into my phone." Lexa spoke quickly because she had seen Clarke's face change.
"I put it in your phone." Clarke nodded her head thinking about how ironic the situation was.
"What. Why?" Lexa was confused now.
"I got tired of seeing her number on your phone a million times with no name. I just never thought you'd actually use it." Clarke locked the phone keeping it in her hand.
"I didn't talk to her Clarke. I called Raven instead." Lexa hoped that Clarke would understand once again.
"You thought about it though." Clarke had caught the instead part and could see it on Lexa's face.
"I did but it's not what you think." Lexa shook her head hearing how stupid she sounded.
"Sounds like something I've heard before." Clarke stepped away from Lexa not sure what to think just yet.
"I was at her apartment this afternoon after I talked to my father." Lexa started to explain because she knew it was the only way Clarke was going to understand.
"Fantastic." Clarke could feel her jealousy rise.
"I went there hoping that I could figure out some information. I had asked my father if he had the address to Echo's apartment and he came up with the same one I was at last night." Lexa continued to watch Clarke.
"So you went to her." Clarke bit her lip because she knew she was jealous.
"No I went to the apartment" Lexa corrected Clarke.
"Knowing you'd talk to her." Clarke waiting for her to counter that one but the brunette was speechless.
"Clarke." Lexa shut up the second Clarke snapped.
"Ughhh are you purposely trying to make me a jealous bitch Lexa." Clarke closed her eyes wanting to throw the phone.
"I would never do that." Lexa spoke up.
"Lexa I don't want to fight with you." Clarke was frustrated she was about to leave.
"I talk to Gustus." Lexa watched Clarke stop in her tracks.
"Oh." Clarke wasn't sure what else to say. All of a sudden it was her who was speechless.
"It didn't go well and I didn't know how to call you and tell you that I pretty much screamed at him in the middle of the street before throwing papers in his face." Lexa kept talking watching Clarke sit down on the bench behind her.
"I was pissed and hurt and I know it's because I care and I know you care about him and I just lost my cool seeing him outside of the apartment. I knew it meant that you two had talked and I got jealous because you could talk to him and not me and I just raged Clarke. I flipped out and he didn't even flinch. He didn't even move. He just stood there as I screamed at him." Lexa ran her hands over her face trying to get the memory to fade a little.
"I only seen Echo's name in my phone today. I hadn't realized it until sitting back in my car crying. I hesitated Clarke I won't lie about that. I thought about calling her because I just want the truth. I'm tired of everyone lying. I'm over the games" Lexa watched Clarke put her phone down on the bench as she rested her elbows on her knees before covering her mouth. She wasn't sure what Clarke was thinking.
"So you called Raven because she is impartial, because she could listen and talk to you without it being over personal." Clarke thought it over and all of a sudden it made sense.
"Yeah but little do you know she's not impartial when it comes to you." Lexa couldn't hide her small laugh.
"So I really am just a jealous bitch." Clarke put her head in her hands.
"I wouldn't say bitch but jealous maybe, kind of yeah." Lexa watched Clarke peak up knowing it was a glare even if she couldn't see it all.
"You're impossible." Clarke lifted her head seeing Lexa's lips play up before she hid the smile.
"I'm not sure what you're talking about Griffin." Lexa shuffled some of the dirt below her shoes.
"You just let me yell at you Lexa. Like stomp my feet yell at her in the middle of a park because I thought you we're going to her again." Clarke couldn't believe herself.
"I gave you a reason to think that way Clarke. I can't expect you not to think it occasionally especially this soon but I promise you I will prove to you that I don't want anything to do with her. This is why I want the games to end." Lexa stepped up closer to Clarke kneeling down so they were face to face.
"I'm not a jealous person. I've never been a jealous person." Clarke laughed thinking it over.
"Really?" Lexa said it sarcastically.
"It's just you." Clarke rolled her eyes hearing Lexa's tone.
"Hmm I mean I remember this one time at a bar where this really pretty blonde interrupted this dance I was getting and." Lexa was cut off when she hit the ground.
"Shut up." Clarke laughed watching Lexa land on her ass after she had shoved her.
"Ouch." Lexa looked up seeing Clarke finally smiling like she use to. It was something she had missed so much and had been lacking in her life.
"You deserved it." Clarke stood up holding her hand out to help Lexa up.
"Oh now you want to help me." Lexa grabbed Clarke's hand pulling herself up before she shoved Clarke back just a little seeing the blonde stop and stare at her.
"Really?" Clarke could see the humor in Lexa's eyes.
"What all is fair in love and war right." Lexa couldn't stop laughing at her own words.
"It sure is." Clarke stepped up shoving Lexa back.
"Oh did you put your back into that one. I think I might have felt some muscle." Lexa bit her lip watching Clarke's jaw drop as she shoved her back again.
"Asshole." Clarke went to shove Lexa but the brunette had stepped back a couple of feet.
"Ohhhh name calling now. I'm so afraid." Lexa could tell Clarke was laughing on the inside even if she wasn't showing it.
"I know you I'm not playing your game." Clarke went to turn on her foot when she felt something hit her in the back. Turning around there was a pinecone on the ground.
"You're joking right." Clarke bent down picking up the pine cone tossing it at Lexa hard but she watched the brunette dodge it.
"You should really work on your throw and maybe even your speed." Lexa waited for it because she knew Clarke was going to charge her at any minute.
"I'm going to show you speed." Clarke took off on a sprint. She was going to chase Lexa down if it was the last thing she did but what she didn't expect was for the brunette not to move.
"Now I got you." Lexa took the hit picking up the blonde in the process. She swung her around in the circle hearing Clarke laugh as her legs came around her waist.
"Alexandra Voss put me down." Clarke was still laughing and she could see people staring at them.
"Clarke Griffin I can't let you go." Lexa looked up feeling Clarke push her hair out of her face.
"People are staring at us." Clarke tried to whisper it under her breath.
"I love this woman." Lexa shouted so everyone could hear her.
"Oh my god." Clarke put her hand over Lexa's mouth before she felt Lexa's tongue touch her hand.
"Ewww." Clarke pulled her hand back wiping it off on Lexa's shirt.
"That isn't what you say when I." Lexa laughed again feeling Clarke's hand cover her mouth.
"Shut up or have you forgotten who you are." Clarke looked around for any person who could possibly be carrying a camera.
"I don't care Clarke. What are you not getting about that." Lexa glared at the blonde who was glaring at her.
"Using my own words now." Clarke held on feeling Lexa spin them around again purposely causing a scene.
"God I love that." Lexa smiled back up at Clarke who was laughing again.
"Love what?" Clarke pushed her hair out of her face looking down at Lexa who was cheesing like a little kid.
"You laughing." Lexa watched Clarke laugh again.
"God you are sooo cute." Clarke leaned down brushing her lips across Lexa's quickly.
"Mmmmm" Lexa hummed biting her lip.
"Okay put me down now." Clarke tapped Lexa's shoulders.
"Hold on." Lexa tightened her grip on Clarke before spinning them around again hearing Clarke erupt with laughter before gripping her shirt.
"Lexa stop you are going to make us fall.." Clarke could feel her cheeks starting to burn from laughing.
"Pshhh I have the balance of an expert." Lexa laughed stepping backwards a little.
"Tree tree." Clarke started to laughing knowing exactly what was about to happen. Lexa stepped back stumbling over a tree root on the ground.
THUD
"Ouch." Lexa let out hearing Clarke laughing on top of her. They both had fallen but got lucking hitting a hill so the fall wasn't as bad as it could have been.
"I told you we." Clarke felt Lexa's lips press against hers. The kiss was filled with passion and sweetness. It made Clarke's heart start to beat faster.
"I told you I don't care." Lexa laid back down on the grass putting her hands behind her head smiling at the blonde who was smiling at her.
"You're ridiculous." Clarke looked around noticing people were still staring.
"Look at me." Lexa lifted her hand up turning Clarke's head so they were staring at each other again.
"I am looking at you." Clarke tapped Lexa's nose.
"No you are looking at them." Lexa looked around just seeing a few random people glancing at them.
"Shhhh." Clarke put her finger over Lexa lips knowing she was going to say something. Clarke bit her lip seeing Lexa pout because she wasn't letting her say anything. Something about the girl just drove her crazy and she had just proved it in the park. She was jealous and even though she wasn't used to the feeling she had to admit that is what it was. She had shown it a few times with Lexa before but this time it was beyond obvious.
"What are you thinking?" Lexa spoke against Clarke's finger.
"I said shhh." Clarke glared at her admiring just how beautiful Lexa was sprawled out on the grass in the middle of the day. She could see the green in her eyes. It was a light green right now shining bright at her.
"You're staring." Lexa spoke again watching Clarke glare at her.
"Do you ever listen." Clarke laughed seeing Lexa glare at her this time.
"If I listened then I wouldn't have kept pursuing you." Lexa watched Clarke raise an eyebrow.
"Ohhh so now you think it was you who came after me?" Clarke thought it over.
"Uh huh, but only because you tried to steal my coffee." Lexa laughed before coughing because Clarke had punched her lightly in the stomach.
"My coffee you tried to steal my coffee." Clarke busted out laughing because Lexa started to tickle her causing her to roll off into the grass herself.
"Excuse me Miss Voss?" Clarke and Lexa stopped in the middle of their laughing fit to look up.
"Yes that is me." Lexa sat up dusting her hands off looking at a younger woman around their age standing in front of them.
"Do you think it would be okay if I got a picture with you?" Clarke couldn't believe what she was hearing she had to cover her mouth to not laugh.
"Uhh sure. Why not." Lexa stood up not sure what exactly to do. She had been asked before but usually it was in a bar with everyone drinking.
"Clarke." Lexa handed the girls phone to Clarke wanting her to take the picture.
"Smile." Clarke bit her lip hard trying not to laugh because Lexa looked so stiff in the picture.
"Thank you so much. I'm about to start college and I hope one day to work at Voss and Taylor." Lexa smiled at the girl who pretty much beamed excited.
"I'm sure you'll do fantastic." Clarke spoke up seeing just how star struck the girl was but it was actually over education not just Lexa's good looks.
"Are you her girlfriend?" Clarke was taken back a little from the question.
"Yes she's my girlfriend." Lexa smiled at the girl who was now checking out Clarke.
"Hmm you're lucky Miss Voss she's gorgeous." Clarke felt her own jaw drop while watching the girl walk away.
"Thank you." Lexa yelled at the girl walking away seeing her wave a little.
"What just happened." Clarke started laughing.
"Looks like she wants to be me in a few years but date you. Sounds perfect." Lexa held her hand up pulling Clarke to her feet.
"Well she was kind of cute." Clarke watched Lexa raise an eyebrow at her.
"What it's true but you Miss Voss you are stunning and you do you have a gorgeous girlfriend." Clarke smirked seeing Lexa shake her head.
"What do you have planned for the evening." Lexa asked giving Clarke the point on her being gorgeous because it was true.
"Honestly nothing because earlier I was hoping it involved you and look at where we are now." Clarke wrapped her arm around Lexas waist.
"What do you want to do?" Lexa asked watching Clarke's head pop up.
"I got an idea if you are up for just about anything?" Clarke waited for Lexa to agree because she knew the girl would.
"Okay well we're only a few minutes now from my place we can grab my jeep." Lexa was just happy to be around Clarke for the night.
"I'm driving." Clarke took off in a dash out of the park hoping to beat Lexa to the garage.
"Oh no I don't think so." Lexa took off after the blonde knowing she'd get her way anyways.
An hour later after cleaning up some Clarke sat in the driver's seat of Lexa's jeep smiling. She had made Lexa flip for it and then they had to do rock, paper, scissors and somehow Clarke still came out on top which means she got the keys.
"Are you sure you want to go do something random. You don't want to talk about anything." Clarke was double checking because part of her felt like they should be talking.
"I want to just forget the world." Lexa grabbed Clarke's hand squeezing it.
"Also you cheated somehow." Lexa changed her subject by putting her foot up on the dash still pouting about not being able to drive.
"Don't be grumpy that I am luckier than you." Clarke put the jeep in drive and took off. She couldn't help but smile at how good she was getting driving Lexa's jeep. She was actually not killing the clutch for once.
"I get to pick the music then." Lexa grabbed Clarke's phone because she knew the stereo would sync to hers first.
"Deal." Clarke bounced along not sure if Lexa was going to like where they were going but Clarke was excited.
"What is your password." Lexa tapped the phone seeing the numbers for a password.
"Uhhh." Clarke felt her cheeks go completely red with Lexa staring at her.
"Uhhh what is it Clarke." Lexa could see Clarke blushing.
"It's letters actually." Clarke bit her lip trying to reach for the phone.
"Nope what is it?" Lexa kept the phone away from Clarke wanting to know the password.
"Ughhh okay fine it's Lexa." Clarke wanted to cover her face at the moment but she couldn't.
"So your password is my name?" Lexa couldn't stop herself from smiling.
"Yes it' L E X A." Clarke all but shouted it because she was embarrassed.
"Awwwwwww." Lexa teased her because it was so adorable.
"Stop making fun of me." Clarke pushed Lexa in the passenger seat when they stopped at a light.
"It sooo is." Lexa punched in her own name on the phone seeing Clarke's background picture was a picture of them.
"When did you take this." Lexa held up Clarke's phone before looking at it again. It was them back at her house on the dock.
"When you weren't paying attention." Clarke laughed seeing Lexa stare at it.
"Damn the brunette is pretty sexy." Lexa laughed seeing Clarke shake her head. She seen a song on Clarke's playlist she wasn't expecting so she hit play.
"Suuuggggarrrrrr." Lexa started to sing.
"Oh my god turn that off." Clarke felt herself get even more red.
"You're sweet, won't you come and put it down on me." Lexa kept singing along dancing in the passenger seat hearing Clarke laugh.
"Yeah you show me good loving, make it alright. Need a little sweetness in my life." Clarke finally joined in giving up on being embarrassed.
"Suuuggarrrrrr." Lexa sang at Clarke before laughing.
"I can't believe you." Clarke heard Lexa hit pause on the song while dancing looking for another song.
"This is what happens when you don't let me drive." Lexa started scrolling Clarke's phone.
"Where did you come from baby and ohhhh won't you take me there right away won't you baby" Lexa started singing and Clarke coughed at the song she played.
"Really?" Clarke couldn't believe she was hearing Lexa belt out Michael Jackson let alone the fact that she was dancing away in the passenger seat. She had always known the girl could dance but she was showing off right now.
"Then tonight ease the lovin' pain, Let me take you to the max." Lexa all shouted it out the window at the car next to them causing Clarke to bust up laughing.
"Ready you have to sing with me." Lexa pointed at Clarke seeing the girl shake her head.
"I want to love you P Y T." Clarke finally sang back at Lexa.
"Pretty young thing." Lexa smiled at Clarke.
"You need some lovin. T L C." Clarke sang again as they pulled up to a random bar that she knew Lexa wouldn't know because it was on the opposite side of town. She turned the jeep off.
"I want to love you." Lexa started to sing but stopped hearing the music go away.
"Heyyyyy." Lexa pouted at Clarke looking behind her to see where they were.
"We're here pretty young thing." Clarke winked before jumping out of the jeep.
"Um what is this place." Lexa got out of the jeep not sure what to think but she could hear music blasting through the doors.
"It's a place where you dance." Clarke held out her hand.
"You do know we can dance at my bar right?" Lexa raised an eyebrow at Clarke.
"Not that kind of dance come on." Clarke walked down to the door way.
"Clarrrkkkeeeee." Lexa stopped hearing a guy yell her name.
"Heyyyy guys." Clarke dropped Lexa's hand getting swept up by two guys hugging her before they let her go.
"It's been forever. Why haven't you graced us with that beautiful face." one of the guys asked as Clarke turned to see Lexa standing slightly awkward behind her.
"This one has had my attention lately." Clarke reached back grabbing Lexa's hand to pull her forward.
"Monty, Jasper this is Lexa. Lexa this is Monty and Jasper." Clarke smiled seeing the guys eye up Lexa.
"I know you." Jasper pointed checking the girl out one more time.
"You're a Voss." Monty pointed at Lexa.
"Damn Clarke how did you snatch up a Voss." Jasper smiled seeing the way Clarke was staring at the brunette.
"Awww you love her." Clarke looked at Jasper hitting him.
"Shut up you two and let's get inside." Clarke shoved both of them through the door.
Lexa walked through the door and she was stunned. She was standing in what she would like to call a dance studio or maybe a country bar but it wasn't. The people on the floor were line dancing but in a totally different style than what she has ever seen. Country music wasn't playing and seem like everyone was dancing to their own beat but in a line.
"Explain?" Lexa grabbed Clarke trying to figure out exactly what they were doing.
"We're going to dance." Clarke laughed seeing the scared look in Lexa's eyes.
"What do you have no rhythm or something commander?" Clarke smirked seeing the challenge light up in Lexa's eyes.
"Ha I'm sure you know that answer." Lexa winked at Clarke.
"Then come on." Clarke tried to grab Lexa's hand but she stalled.
"Don't be scared." Clarke laughed when Jasper grabbed her by the hand spinning her around twice before dipped her and bringing her back up.
"How about you show me how it's done first and then I'll join in." Lexa needed to see exactly what she just got herself into.
"Come on Lexa it's fun." Monty tapped her on the shoulder before going out to the line with the others.
"Here you are my lady." Clarke grabbed the beer Monty handed her taking a sip she watched Lexa eyeball her with the guys knowing she was sizing them up.
"Hey." Clarke yelled at Lexa to get her attention seeing the girl meet her eyes she mouthed I love you because the music had started.
Lexa smiled knowing Clarke had seen her trying to tap out her jealousy of the two guys dancing with Clarke. They all have obviously been doing this for awhile because when Marvin Gaye's Got to Give it Up started playing she watched everyone raise their beers and start to move left the girls turned in a circle swaying their hips as the boys followed alone waving the air like it was to hot in the building. Once lined back up they all started to step up and back with a side shuffle tapping their feet to each others. She watched Clarke throw back her head laughing as they circled again but this time it was her chasing the guys with Monty and Jasper both putting their own shimmy on the dance. Lexa couldn't help but sing and tap her foot watching them all dance. It was like the R&B way to line dance or something. She raised an eyebrow seeing some guy come up behind Clarke and start dancing with her when they all shuffled and switched lines. She stood up tall watching the guys hand go to Clarke's hip pulling her closer before Jasper slid between the two of them twirling Clarke away from the guy. Lexa smiled noticing this had to be their thing just the three of them because they all danced in sync with each other. Monty knew when to step up and Jasper knew when to replace him and they both just danced and circled laughing with Clarke as they all shuffled the line again. Hearing the song come to an end she watched the crowd lift their beers in the air again as they stood in place just tapping their feet forward and then they all said cheers loudly before knocking each other beers together and down the rest of them. Lexa watched Clarke throw her arms around the boys before heading back up her way.
"You were a little rusty Clarke." Lexa heard Jasper say fake wiping the dirt off her shoulders.
"Hey I am here now guys." Clarke stepped up to Lexa tugging her by the shirt.
"What do you think?" Clarke smiled bringing Lexa in for a quick kiss.
"I think I have never seen anything like this before." Lexa looked out at the crowd again but this time it looked like they were swing dancing or something to a song that was kind of familiar.
"Come on it's fun. I'll show you the basics and then you really just put your own spin on it." Clarke grabbed Lexa's hand leading them to the back section.
"Where did you learn how to do this. Better yet how did you find this place." Lexa got handed a beer from Jasper and where he was getting them from she had no idea.
"I met these two dorks at the university and then one night at a house party when Raven and Octavia were doing god knows what these two got me up dancing in the middle of the house to stuff like this and then they talked me into coming here" Clarke laughed grabbing Lexa's beer taking a drink of it while she showed Lexa a few steps.
"See you are a natural." Clarke laughed seeing how stiff Lexa was.
"Give me that beer." Lexa tipped it back downing the rest of it.
"Another round." Clarke watched Jasper hunt them down more beer and she looked back at Lexa who was focused on her feet thinking it over.
"You don't think you just dance." Clarke nudged Lexa.
"I seen you guys do footwork" Lexa pointed at the couples in front of them grooving to something.
"That's because it was a known dance. The next one will just be all of us." Clarke could tell Lexa was nervous so she stood in front of her grabbing her hips. Making the girl sway and move to the beat watching how Lexa's feet naturally started to move because both of them knew how to dance this way.
"Just like that." Monty pointed at Lexa's feet causing her to look down.
"Rounds." Clarke took the beer Jasper handed her and handed one to Lexa as well.
"What is with the beer thing?" Lexa took a sip of it.
"You will understand once you start dancing." Clarke laughed hearing the music switch again.
"HEY." Lexa jumped hearing Clarke, Monty and Jasper all say it at the same time when the music started. She watched Clarke step up ahead of her a little to lead her. Looking up she seen Clarke mouth electric slide to her and thankfully Lexa knew what that was.
"Hey there sugar darlin." Clarke started to roll her hips while stepping to the right bending down a little grooving to the music.
"Dance." Clarke turned around seeing Jasper nudge Lexa who was staring at her from behind.
"Groooveee me ohhh ya ya darlin." Clarke turned around facing Lexa causing her to pay attention. She watched Lexa catch the beat and start to mimic her moves. Clarke pushed her hand up into her hair twisting her body all the way down before coming back up hopping on each foot before spinning around.
"HEY." Lexa looked around everyone who had yelled it again taking a drink of their beers so she followed.
"Uhhhh huh." Clarke stepped up teasing Lexa a little before Jasper grabbed her arm spinning her around him letting her go and Monty caught her standing behind her he spun out of the picture with Clarke placing her hand on Lexa's hip drawing her forward.
"Girl between you and me now now. We don't need no company." Clarke winked at Lexa seeing her smile as she took the brunettes hand turning her around she pulled her in close so Lexa's back was against her front and she started making both of them roll their hips with the beat circling them around.
"HEY." they all cheered again drinking their beers hearing the music start to wind down to a new song.
"You were amazing." Clarke threw her arms around Lexa's neck feeling the girl wrap an arm around her.
"I don't know about amazing but I can see how you love it here." Lexa looked around and everyone seeing a lot of people had coupled up for the slower song.
"Get up get up get up." Clarke started to sing the song. The one thing she loved at this place the taste in music.
"Babbbbyyyyy." Lexa sang back at Clarke causing her to laugh. It was funny they always ended up singing songs to each other but singing Marvin Gaye could always lead to more.
"Babbbyyyy I can't hold it much longer, it's getting stronger and stronger." Clarke felt Lexa start to lead her before she leaned in dipping her down and back up before kissing her.
"Mmmmm you can do that again." Clarke was curious to why Lexa had randomly kissed her not that she was complaining but she knew she was slightly tipsy as well.
"A few guys just needed to know you were mine." Lexa smiled as she watched the guy who had been walking towards them walk away.
"Ohhh are you worried." Clarke winked seeing Lexa shake her head no.
"Good because you have no reason to be." Clarke leaned in kissing Lexa this time proving her point.
"Clarke are you ready." Clarke felt Monty and Jasper come up behind her super excited.
"Did you request it." Clarke turned around seeing both boys looking guilty.
"What's happening." Lexa watched all three of them laughing.
"Let's have you sit out on this one." Clarke made Lexa sit down in a chair right next to the dance floor.
Lexa watched the three of them line up and start snapping their fingers leaning forward she watched both guys slide away from Clarke and then back to her when she heard the music start up. It was My Girl the song that her and Clarke had danced to on their first date.
"I got sunshiinneeee on a cloudy day." Clarke started mouthing the words as all three of them shuffled to the left and then to the right and then all three of them slid across the floor before stopping and tapping their feet.
"When it's cold outside I got the of may." Lexa watched both guys sing switching sides on Clarke as she circled tapping her feet in rhythm. Looking around Lexa watched a bunch of other people doing the dance but with their own little twist to each part like Clarke had said.
"I'd guess you'd say what can make me feel this way." Clarke stepped up closer to Lexa. She had put the girl in the spot for a reason.
"My girrrllll." Clarke pointed at Lexa with Monti and Jasper coming in right behind her singing my girl my girl. Clarke laughed when they all slid back and Lexa was left blushing in the chair by herself.
"Talking about my giirrlll." Clarke spun around with all them tapping around in a circle as the music came to an end they all took a bow towards Lexa and the brunette had the cheesiest grin on her face.
"My girl huh." Lexa stood feeling Clarke wrap her arms around her hugging her.
"I told I love the song." Clarke whispered to Lexa as they walked off the stage. Clarke couldn't stop smiling. She hadn't been to the bar in so long and she forgot how much she missed it and how much fun it was.
"We're going to have to do this again but I want to bring Octavia and Raven." Lexa laughed feeling Clarke stop.
"You do realize I've tried that and it ended up crazy in here." Clarke watched Lexa grin.
"They have each other now I'm sure a double date would do wonders for us." Lexa pulled Clarke with her outside feeling the cold air hit them.
"Clarrrkkeeeee." Lexa watched Clarke turn getting scooped up by both boys again.
"I'll be back guys I promise." Clarke kissed both of them on the cheeks before turning and seeing Lexa standing with the door open for her to get in.
"Be safe." Clarke yelled hearing both of them say they would.
"Thanks commander." Clarke hopped up into the jeep hearing Lexa laugh shutting the door.
"Where are we going." Lexa started the jeep seeing Clarke sprawl out into the passenger seat.
"My bed." Clarke smiled knowing that Lexa got the idea.
A/N Okay long fun fluffy but serious chapter in ways. I wanted to mix it up a little. The style of line dancing they are doing is kind the same style they do in the new movie version of footloose if you want to look it up but just with different music. Next on the list is the apartment hunting regarding Echo and Finn. Let's see how the couple faces off with that one. Also I had to throw a little bit of jealous Clarke back into the picture because who doesn't love her being feisty over Lexa. I hope you enjoyed the chapter and please review good or bad I love hearing from everyone. xoxoxo
