One week later
"Oh my god." Clarke plopped down on her own bed feeling like she was in heaven.
"What's wrong are you okay?" Lexa ran into Clarke's bedroom seeing the blonde smiling lying on her bed.
"I'm never leaving my bed I missed it way too much." Clarke rolled over pushing her face into her pillows. She could still smell Lexa on them.
"You scared the shit out of me Clarke." Lexa stomped over towards the bed sitting down on it.
"Stop worrying I'm fine but." Clarke smirked seeing Lexa stare at her like she was waiting on something.
"But what, since you refuse to just say it." Lexa knew she was being paranoid since Clarke had gotten out of the hospital but she never wanted to see Clarke like that again so if that meant hovering she was going to do it for awhile.
"You could come over here and love me." Clarke smiled seeing Lexa shake her head.
"I do love you Clarke." Lexa had made a point to say it whenever she got a chance now.
"No Lexa come love me in a different way." Clarke scooted closer to the brunette sliding her hand up her shirt letting her fingers play across Lexa's toned stomach.
"Clarke it hasn't been that long since…" Lexa felt Clarke slid her hand up her shirt even further pushing up under her bra quickly squeezing not giving her a chance to catch up to what just happened.
"Lexa I know what you're thinking but shut up." Clarke was frustrated. She had been out of the hospital for a few days and all she wanted was Lexa's hands on her and yet the brunette was being picky.
"Mmmm." Lexa felt the small moan escape her knowing Clarke got exactly what she wanted with one touch.
"Exactly what I thought." Clarke moved quickly to straddle the brunette who she knew would try and back out and she refused to get denied again due to what happened.
"God I've missed you." Lexa felt herself craving for the blondes touch the second she got a taste of it. She felt Clarke's lips start to make their way down her neck with her hands in her hair tugging on it lightly.
"Prove it." Clarke said in a low husky voice she couldn't stop herself from grinding down into Lexa. She felt like it had been way too long and she needed the brunette now.
"It's too soon you could….." Lexa tried to get it out but Clarke's lips were attached to hers full of passion and want. She felt Clarke's hips grinding into her and she was losing her train of thought.
"Lexa if you don't give me what I want I'm going to take it." Clarke pulled back just enough to whisper it to the brunettes mouth. Reaching her hands down she pulled off her shirt letting Lexa get a view of her body.
"Ughhhh" Lexa lost her words she just grabbed Clarke by the hips picking her up before turning and tossing her down on the bed. Staring down at the blonde she grabbed her shirt and lifted it off tossing it aside before sinking back down into the bed putting her weight on Clarke she heard the blonde sigh.
"It's about time." Clarke smiled seeing the lust and dark green in Lexa's eyes. She let her fingers slide over Lexa's back tracing every mark she remembered. She couldn't stop the moan from escaping her the second she felt Lexa's lips on her neck nipping and sucking it felt like heaven had touched her again.
Lexa wanted to cherish the exact moment of having the blonde back and in her arms again touching and feeling her but she could feel the rush coming off Clarke. She was needy and demanding and Lexa couldn't stop herself from matching the pace. She felt Clarke sneak her hand down between their bodies trying to get her fingers where she wanted them.
"No no no." Lexa pulled back grabbing Clarke's hands pinning them above her head.
"Leeeexxxx I want to feel you." Clarke all but wined bucking her hips frustrated with the brunette.
"Clarke if you don't give me what I want I am going to take it." Lexa smirked mimicking Clarke's words from earlier because this was going to be her way and her way only.
"Then you better take it." Clarke challenge she wanted her hands on the brunette badly. She wanted to feel their bodies mesh and own each other.
"Lex ughh shit" Lexa smiled catching Clarke off guard as she slipped her hand down the blondes pants letting her fingers slide over her boyshorts. She could feel how wet the blonde was already and it made her mouth go dry thinking of dipping between her legs and tasting her.
"What are you going to do now Clarke." Lexa teased the blonde feeling her push her hips up begging for any kind of friction between her thighs. Lexa slipped her hand below her boyshorts allowing Clarke to push up letting her fingers push against her clit. Hearing the blonde moan made Lexa want to give her even more pleasure.
Clarke wanted to beg she wanted to plead for Lexa to give her anything. Her body felt deprived of the brunette. Pushing up she moaned getting some pressure from the brunette. She tried to tighten her thighs but Lexa didn't allow it as she placed her thigh between them keeping her legs spread. She could feel the brunettes fingers teasing her giving her just enough pleasure before taking it away. She could feel Lexa's tongue and teeth working their way over her stomach back up towards her neck. Tipping her head to the side she gave her all the room she needed.
Lexa loved that Clarke was giving herself to her. It was obvious they both missed each other in every way possible. Lexa took advantage of the space sucking down hard she knew it was going to leave a mark but she didn't care. Knowing the blonde was getting desperate she gave her what she wanted sliding one finger inside her with ease.
"God yes." Clarke arched her back up pushing her hips into Lexa's hand forcing her to go deeper. The feeling of the brunettes lips sucking down on her neck and the matching pace of hips she knew she wasn't going to last long.
"If you don't slow….." Clarke lost her words feeling Lexa pushing another finger inside of her. She couldn't stop herself from moaning out the brunettes name getting one hand free she grabbed onto the back of Lexa digging her nails in she was losing her battle with it being about both of them then just her.
"No slowing down Clarke just take it." Lexa loved her view of the blonde biting her lip struggling to not let go but giving into everything all together. Lexa kept her pace as she met the blondes mouth kissing her slowly drawing out every inch of passion Clarke had. She could feel the blondes legs start to shake so Lexa took her thumb and circled it over her clit feeling Clarke break the kiss and moaning out her name she pushed harder and that was all it took to feel her melt underneath her.
"You're beautiful." Lexa whispered it in Clarke's ear as she felt the blonde winding down gaining her composure letting her breath even out before laughing a little.
"Please tell me why you deprived me of that." Clarke laughed again feeling Lexa prop herself back up looking down into her eyes.
"Me, deprive you… never." Lexa laughed a little herself because she knew exactly what Clarke was talking about.
"Pshhh if you only knew." Clarke stretched pushing her hair back finally feeling a small bit of relaxation.
"I'm not done yet." Lexa knew she looked completely smug seeing the smile on the blondes face that was because of her.
"Mmm what? Clarke knew she could fell asleep now till she felt Lexa's nails start to drag down her stomach following her lips and tongue.
"I haven't got what I wanted." Lexa spoke up as she slid farther down taking off Clarke's sweats and boyshorts.
"Oh really now?" Clarke felt her body react again feeling the heat pour down to her core as Lexa pushed her legs wide.
"My turn Clarke." Lexa smiled as she dipped her head low to give herself and Clarke exactly what she wanted again.
Gustus stood in front of Nyko his friend with the police force. They had finally broke Finn and his contacts and had a lead regarding the drug that had been floating around, the same drug that Finn had used on Clarke.
"We've picked up all of them last night." Gustus heard Nyko talking about all the men involved in the drug trade. It was for taking advantage of women but whoever had been making and supplying it had messed up causing several people to pass out and possible die from it.
"Good to hear are we working on getting the rest of it off the streets." Gustus was making sure nothing like this ever happened again.
"Yes sir with the money and effort you and Mr. Voss have provided for us we have extra men out in every area making sure the drug is taken off the street. We've also followed up all of our findings with Mrs. Griffin and she is using the hospital to go about finding a drug to counteract the damages the drug can cause." Gustus listened to everything Nyko had been saying. He was happy that he had gotten the young man a spot on the force it was a great job to get him off the streets.
"You've done an excellent job Nyko. I'm happy to see things are working out for you here." Gustus nodded his head seeing the young man smile.
"Ninja man what's up." Raven walked through the police station at Gustus request realizing she had never actually been in one.
"You asked for a quick meeting with Finn and I'm giving you the chance if you would like to follow up on that." Gustus watched Raven think it over.
"Sure take me to him." Raven knew she didn't need to see the asshole for any reason now that all of her friends were okay and moving on with their lives.
"Right this way." Raven watched the young man in front of Gustus point them to a back room.
"What is he doing back here." Raven was curious to why he was back into the small station.
"He took a deal but he still will not be on the streets so you have no need to worry." Gustus made sure Raven understood they will never be seeing him again.
"Good because then it might be one of us in this jail for killing him." Raven thought about how she never planned on letting him near Clarke or Octavia again.
Gustus watched Raven stand on the other side of the glass looking at the boy she once knew. The one that meant so much to her and her friends back in the day. He knew she had nothing to say but that she wanted to see him anyways.
"Can I walk in?" Raven looked up at Gustus who grabbed the door pulling it open for Raven to walk in.
Raven walked into the room seeing Finn look up at her he gave a small smile. She knew he was embarrassed and unsure of what to say or even think of the fact that she was standing in front of him. She didn't plan on saying a word she just wanted to look him in the eye. To let him see her happiness and know that all of them were going to be okay and that he was never allowed to be around them again.
"Raven." Gustus heard the plea in the boy's voice and just watched Raven continue to stare him down.
Raven watched Finn she could see his eyes begging for words. She watched him fiddle with his hands like he had done so much in the past. She wondering what all of them were ever thinking loving and bringing this boy into their lives to only have him come out this way. To only bring so much hurt to all of them. It was time to leave it all behind. Not saying a word she turned and walked back out of the door hearing Finn start to yell at her she just kept on walking. He was in the past for all of them and that was the best.
"You had nothing to say?" Gustus looked at Raven impressed with the young girl.
"Oh I did but he isn't worthy of a word that could come out of my mouth." Raven patted Gustus on the shoulder knowing exactly what he was thinking.
"You are a smart woman Raven." Gustus gave his praise because he knew that could have gone several ways and most of them bad.
"We're all happy ninja man that is all that matters." Raven smiled nudging the man who she had become to love as well.
"Everything is being taken care of when it comes to him. No one will be seeing him again. I have some people on the force who will make sure of that." Gustus made sure Raven was reassured that he would never be bothering them again.
"Music to my ears. So are you going to stop by and hang out with us tonight." Raven nudged the man again hoping he would say yes.
"What are these plans?" Gustus wasn't aware of anything the girls had planned.
"Clarke's mother has her hospital fundraiser tonight it got pushed back due to everything and even though none of planned on going we figured it would be better if we at least showed our faces before we left for pizza and beer." Raven wasn't happy about going but she was going to do it for Clarke.
"I'll think about it." Gustus smiled knowing it was all Lexa's idea.
Clarke laid in bed completely satisfied with life. She was warm and snuggled down in her covers listening to her extremely beautiful girlfriend sing in the shower and nothing else could possible be better. She was healthy and had been through several test since the incident and everything seemed fine. She knew that her small appearance tonight would make her mother happy and she hoped it was true what her mother said about getting to know Lexa. She wanted forever with this woman and she planned on getting it.
"Bitch where are you?" Clarke jumped hearing her bedroom door slam open.
"What the hell Octavia." Clarke ripped the covers off her head.
"I missed you and Lexa has been hogging you it's my turn." Octavia pouted climbing on the bed laying down next to her best friend pretty much smothering her.
"No one has been hogging me O. You are my best friend we both know that you have been shacked up with Raven since your ribs are pretty much healed now that you started to listen." Clarke laughed seeing Octavia glare.
"Wait are you naked?" Octavia propped herself up seeing the glow coming off her best friend and she knew.
"Ewww oh my god you let me climb in bed with you after… ughh nasty Clarke." Octavia jumped up out of the bed taking her jacket off and hopping around the room.
"Oh shut up I had to sanitize my counter for like a week after seeing you and Raven on it." Clarke laughed.
"Well at least the commander finally gave in and jumped your bones." Octavia curled up in the chair smiling at her best friend who looked so happy and content.
"Excuse me?" Lexa walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel hearing Octavia's comment.
"Damn commander you plan on dropping that towel while I'm here." Octavia dodged the pillow that Clarke tossed at her.
"She's mine." Clarke scooted up in the bed keeping the covers wrapped around her.
"Did I just hear you say I finally jumped her bones?" Lexa looked between Clarke and Octavia with both of them smiling.
"Yeah I mean geez you've only been holding out on the girl for like what a week now?" Octavia busted it out seeing Clarke glare at her.
"Ohh really now." Lexa looked back at Clarke who was hiding her face.
"Stop being a baby commander she wanted to get laid and her girlfriend was worried about breaking her. I'm just glad she's not going to be bitchy anymore." Octavia laughed seeing Clarke and Lexa stare at each other.
"Interesting." Lexa tried to hide her smile seeing Clarke roll her eyes.
"Shit Clarke has only been a sex addict when it comes to you." Octavia blurted it out without thinking.
"Octavia get your ass out of my apartment." Clarke threw another pillow at her while laughing.
"Umm no miss hover over here can leave I want girl time." Octavia pouted.
"It's okay I have to go meet up with Gustus." Lexa shook her head laughing at the two girls.
"Get in the shower stinky so we can actually hang out." Octavia waved her hand at her best friend.
"Shut up, you act like you and Raven didn't have sex before you got here." Clarke raised an eyebrow at the brunette as she jumped out of the bed walking into the bathroom.
Lexa stood in her sports bra and boyshorts brushing her hair out looking in the mirror. She could see the small traces of Clarke on her body. She felt like everything was going back to normal. Like her life hadn't been torn out of her hands, like she was meant to be hit with reality on what she truly wanted and how she planned on getting it.
"Mmmm I love the smell of you." Clarke walked into the bathroom smelling the lavender earthy smell that Lexa seemed to radiate after her showers.
"Body wash." Lexa laughed watching Clarke turn on the water warming it back up before turning to look at her.
"Are you sure about tonight?" Clarke wanted to make sure Lexa actually wanted to stop by the fundraiser tonight.
"Of course, your mother and I want to work on things for the sake of me never letting you go." Lexa turned around giving Clarke a quick kiss before heading out of the bathroom.
"Hot damn." Clarke heard her best friend all but yell at it as Lexa walked out the door.
"Octavia get your ass out of my bedroom." Clarke yelled from the bathroom hearing both girls laugh.
"Yes boss." Octavia yelled back before turning to Lexa.
"So are you still looking?" Octavia whispered not wanting Clarke to hear her.
"Yes it's why I am meeting up with Gustus. I have three picked out but I need a little more thinking because I want it to be perfect." Lexa grabbed some jeans pulling them on thinking about how far she had come with all of Clarkes friends.
"I want to see them, can I help pick as well. I mean you know I know what she likes." Octavia was excited that Lexa finally admitted she was looking at rings.
"When I narrow everything down I plan on showing you and Raven. I want it to come from me first." Lexa wanted to make sure she picked the ring out herself. It meant a lot knowing she could find and buy the best ring for Clarke. She knew she wanted to propose to Clarke before everything and that she had been looking but since the hospital and knowing Clarke was all in with her no matter what it made her want to make it more official than what they already were.
"Fine but we better get to see first." Octavia patted Lexa on the ass like she would her teammates before heading out of Clarke's bedroom.
Lexa grabbed her hoodie well it was Clarke's hoodie but she couldn't help but love it more than ever. It was one of those things she'd never get use to wanting to keep certain things of Clarke's because they remind her of the blonde. Today was the day she planned on possibly buying an engagement ring for Clarke and wearing her hoodie was just another way of helping her pick one out. Heading back into the bathroom she could heard Clarke humming to herself.
"I'm heading out Clarke. I love you." Lexa spoke up over the shower so the blonde could hear her.
"Nooo come here." Clarke stuck her head out of the shower hating the fact that Lexa was leaving her but she needed to get ready for tonight and hopefully Octavia planned on helping her with that.
"You miss me already?" Lexa laughed stepping up to Clarke who had her head poked out of the shower.
"Kiss?" Clarke pouted seeing Lexa smile.
"Of course." Lexa leaned in to brush her lips across Clarke's.
"Mmm thank you." Clarke enjoyed the kiss before reaching out and rubbing her wet hands down Lexa's face.
"Ewww Clarke." Lexa was the one who pouted now.
"Just another way of showing my love." Clarke laughed pulling the curtain back.
"Just another way at showing my love." Lexa turned around and flushed the toilet before walking out hearing Clarke scream for a second before laughing.
Lexa stood in front of the window looking into the jewelry store. She had been to so many she couldn't even count and she always went slightly undercover she couldn't afford for anyone to snap a photo of her that Clarke my notice.
"Ready?" Lexa jumped hearing Gustus behind her.
"Ughhh Gustus." Lexa smirked knowing it was just his way of being himself. Since the incident they had become closer again not perfect and no where near where they use to be but they had been making steps forward.
"I think I have it picked out." Lexa pushed through the doors with Gustus in tote.
"I thought you said you have it narrowed down?" Gustus wanted to smile seeing Lexa no the hunt for the spot where the ring must be.
"I did but I have been stuck on this one that I think Clarke will like. It's simple and beautiful and I don't want her to think I am over doing anything." Lexa started to ramble she was nervous.
"Alexandra calm down and just show me the ring." Gustus laughed slightly knowing Lexa heard him seeing her glare.
"Right here that one." Lexa pointed down at a platinum DY unity engagement ring from David Yurmin. It was a small band wrapped in diamonds with a center round diamond. Lexa watched Gustus look it over as she waved a woman over to help them.
"Can I see this one please?" Lexa asked for the woman to take the ring out putting it on the the display counter she watched Gustus pick it up looking it over.
"What do you think?" Lexa felt herself get anxious. Gustus hadn't said a word since he had seen the ring she was almost positive on buying.
"It's a gorgeous ring." Lexa looked up at the woman smiling because at least someone had said something.
"Alexandra." Gustus felt his heart warm. He was proud of the girl he raised and the woman he now could call his daughter.
"Gustus." Lexa waited and waited some more.
"I think it's perfect." Lexa jumped up in the air with his comment and the fact that she found it. After searching and searching she finally had picked out the one she knew Clarke would love.
"Finally and I know Octavia and Raven are going to kill me for buying it now but I just can't pass it up." Lexa shook her head at the woman telling her it was a yes.
"You are purchasing it now?" Gustus looked a little confused thinking of size and everything.
"I had it sized and customized before I brought you here. I knew it was what I wanted for her I just needed you to see it." Lexa bit her lip thinking about it.
"Smart woman." Gustus finally smiled letting her see it.
"I need to text Octavia and Raven really quick." Lexa sat her card on the counter for the woman as she walked away for a second.
Lexa: I got it
Octavia: What are you serious when can I come look?
Raven: Wait I didn't get to see anything.
Lexa: It's being paid for as we speak. I'll show you guys toight.
Octavia: Woot woot go commander.
Raven: I call dibs on first viewing.
Octavia: Pshhh
Lexa put her phone back in her pocket knowing the two would keep going and going regarding the engagement ring she was getting for Clarke.
"I'm very proud of you." Lexa turned hearing Gustus.
"I'm nervous, what if she says no." Lexa finally blurted out what she was mostly paranoid about.
"She loves you Alexandra." Gustus already knew Clarke would say yes because she had asked him about engagement rings already.
"What if it's too early?" Lexa put her face in her hands before hearing someone clear their throat.
"Here you are Miss Voss." Lexa smiled at the lady grabbing the box that looked like it would be a bracelet but it twisted out pushing the ring up in surprise.
"Thank you so much." Gustus spoke up nodding at the woman.
"By the look in your eyes I can tell she is going to be one happy woman." Lexa looked back at the woman who was smiling at her before she grinned back heading out of the store.
"So are we going to see you tonight?" Lexa asked stepping outside waiting for Gustus to join her.
"It's possible, but the question is when are you going to pop the question?" Gustus was curious.
"That I haven't decided but I'm sure I will figure it out." Lexa wiggled the small bag she was holding.
"Lex." Lexa turned around hearing her name spotting Echo standing behind her.
"Echo." Lexa wasn't sure what to say to the girl.
"What are you doing here?" Gustus spoke up.
"I was just walking by when I spotted you two." Lexa heard the attitude come out in the girl's voice trying to defend herself to Gustus.
"I have some place to be but it was good seeing you Echo." Lexa was ready to defuse the situation.
"Wait Lex can we please just talk for a second." Gustus watched the girl's face knowing it was honesty.
"I'll be leaving but don't make me have to come back here." Gustus warned Echo before walking away.
"What is it you want to talk about?" Lexa watched Gustus walk off leaving her standing with the bag and her temper.
"I just wanted to say I am really sorry about what happened." Lexa watched Echo play with her bracelet showing she was nervous.
"That's good you should be sorry. Clarke could have died because you and Finn decided to pull some stupid game." Lexa tried her hardest not to raise her voice.
"I know and I never meant for that to happen. I was stupid and just along for the ride how I always am but I'm going to try and change." Lexa nodded happy to hear that at least Echo acknowledged her bullshit.
"That's good I hope everything works out for you." Lexa watched Echo spot the bag and the store that she came out of finally.
"Buying something special?" Lexa smiled knowing that she wasn't going to give a damn word away.
"My lips are sealed." Lexa laughed saying it.
"Are you proposing to Clarke?" Lexa was shocked that Echo just outright asked the question.
"I believe that anything and everything I do regarding Clarke is none of your business Echo, but I hope you do change for the better. You deserve to be happy." Lexa spoke honesty because she knew it's what the girl needed.
"Thank you Lex." Lexa watched her glance at the bag one more time before smiling and walking off.
Lexa stood watching her walk away. She really did hope in the long run that Echo found happiness but all that mattered to her now was making a future with Clarke and the bag she was currently holding was going to be a step in all of it.
"Octavia." Clarke yelled at the top of her lungs.
"What the hell?" Octavia stepped through her best friend's bedroom door seeing the blonde standing in a very simple black dress tailored in white.
"What do you think?" Clarke turned around slumping her shoulders she didn't know exactly what the dress attire was for the night.
"No matter where we go that will fit in also you look stunning but you might want to use some cover up on that mark." Octavia laughed seeing Clarke look down to where she was pointing.
"Damn her." Clarke looked in the mirror spotting a decent set of teeth marks right above her collarbone.
"You asked for it." Octavia watched her best friend smirk before thinking of how to cover it up.
"Shut up." Clarke bit her lip thinking about Lexa and how she wished they could just blow off everything and spend the night relaxing in her bed.
"Hellllloooooo." Clarke heard Raven yell in her living room causing her to turn around and look at Octavia with a questioning stare.
"I have no idea." Octavia shrugged causing both girls to head for the bedroom door peeking their heads out.
"Raven do you have to be so loud." Lexa walked through the door smiling but shaking her head.
"It's not every day you seen the high and mighty commander break out a suit." Raven stood up giving Lexa a wink.
"This is a fundraiser Raven it requires a suit." Lexa spoke up tugging on her jacket.
"Well well well." Octavia waltz out of the room showing off her dark purple dress hugging her body.
"Ummm." Raven stood not even sure what to think seeing her girlfriend.
"Chin up babe." Octavia walked up to Raven wrapping her hands around her closing her jaw.
"Anyone care to tell me where my gorgeous girlfriend is?" Lexa walked past both of the girls she had come to know as her own friends.
"You mean soon to be fiance?" Octavia whispered it at Lexa.
"Shut up!" Lexa warned the brunette.
"Yeah do you know when?" Raven whispered.
"No I don't know when but this is not a topic that will come up tonight." Lexa warned both of them as she headed into Clarke's bedroom.
"Mmm wow." Clarke turned around to spot Lexa walking into her bedroom in a full suit. It was similar to the one she had seen Lexa in when they first started their banter together.
"Thank you thank you." Lexa popped her collar hearing the blonde laugh at her.
"Such an ego you have." Clarke walked over grabbing the brunette by the front of her suit giving her a passionate kiss.
"Can I get a hello like that every time I walk into your room." Lexa leaned her forehead against the blondes basking in the fact that they had each other.
"Everyday for the rest of my life." Clarke leaned in giving Lexa a quick kiss before turning around and grabbing her clutch.
"Time to get the party started." Lexa held out her arm heading into the living room to meet Octavia and Raven.
Walking into the gallery Clarke was impressed with out nice the hospital had set up the place. She knew the fundraiser was important it helped the hospital with so many other things that weren't always allowed in a regular hospital. Looking around the room she spotted several people she knew and several people who were probably going to be shocked about Lexa being on her arm and some even pissed off.
"Clarke." Clarke turned hearing her mother's voice.
"Mother." Clarke held her breath and her mother was going to follow through with their agreement.
"I'm so very glad you two could make it. Miss Voss." Lexa was a little shocked and hesitated on the hand shake but recovered quickly.
"The place looks beautiful." Lexa smiled looking around again.
"Thank you we're hoping to bring in a decent amount of money tonight to fund for a new ward." Clarke raised her eyebrows wondering what the new ward would be.
"Is it okay if I borrow Clarke for a few I just want to introduce her to a few people." Lexa nodded knowing she needed to make a few rounds as well.
"Of course." Lexa leaned in and gave Clarke a quick kiss before heading in the opposite direction.
"What was that about?" Clarke looked at her mother as they started to head towards some power couples.
"Her father and Gustus are both here and I wanted to give you a heads up. I meant what I said in wanting to get to know her so this is our chance to hopefully mend all ends and move on." Clarke was impressed by her mother's words.
"I've very happy you are giving her a chance mother. I love her so much." Clarke stood with a couple of chairmen peeking a glance at Lexa seeing that she had found her way to Gustus.
"Let's make some money and will go from there." Clarke smiled at her mother and took her lead.
"Ninja man." Lexa hear`d Raven and Octavia pop up behind her.
"Ladies." Gustus smiled at them all.
"You having fun?" Octavia beamed at the man happy he showed up.
"When you two are around, always." Gustus wanted to laugh seeing both Raven and Octavia all but jump for joy.
"Can I talk to you." Lexa didn't want to stop the fun but she wanted to talk with Gustus alone for a minute.
"Yes." Gustus was unsure what the sudden importance as they turned to walk away from the girls.
"Alexandra." Lexa stopped dead in her tracks as they had just walked into her father.
"Mr. Voss." Gustus was the first to speak because he could tell Lexa was confused.
"What are you doing here?" Lexa spit out.
"Mrs Griffin invited me." Lexa looked back at to where Clarke was seeing her throw her a small wink and that was all she needed to gain some confidence.
"Well I am glad I got the both of you here." Lexa reached into her pocket where she had been holding the ring.
"As Gustus knows I bought a ring for Clarke and I plan on proposing when I feel it's right." Lexa took a deep breath looking into her father's face which as unreadable.
"If you love her I will support you Alexandra." Gustus coughed a little not expecting that answer.
"Really?" Lexa was also shocked.
"Yes Alexandra, I am done trying to control your life. I learned my lesson between Gustus and I being selfish. I am also not going to require you to work in the firm either. I want you to pursue your own life with the support of Gustus and I if we can agree on it." Lexa looked at Gustus seeing his jaw was dropped just like her own.
"Wow." Octavia popped up behind Lexa.
"Do you always have to be nosey." Raven spoke up knowing both of them were snooping on the group.
"I can agree to all of that. Thank you father." Lexa was excited and the grin on her face had to have shown it right along with Gustus throwing an arm around her.
"So do I get to see this ring?" Lexa looked at her father before searching for Clarke spotting her on the other side of the room engrossed in a conversation with another doctor so she pulled the ring out of her pocket.
"Hot damn." Octavia spoke up with all of them hovering over Lexa checking out the ring.
"You better be buying me something like that." Octavia nudged Raven giving her a sly smile.
"You did good Alexandra, I'm proud of you." Lexa smiled at her father before shoving the ring back in her hand.
"I think it's about time we all dance." Raven grabbed Lexa heading towards Clarke with Octavia in tow leaving Gustus and Lexa's father to talk.
"Mrs. Griffin would you like to dance?" Lexa stood tall walking both women turn around looking at her.
"Of course." Clarke smiled but bit her lip awkwardly when she seen Lexa holding out a hand to her mother.
"Umm sure, Clarke care to walk them over to the bar." Clarke glared at Lexa wondering what she was up too.
"You look beautiful tonight." Lexa grabbed Abby's hand spinning her around on the dance floor before pulling them together.
"Care to tell me what this is about Lexa?" Lexa smirked knowing that Abby knew she was up to something.
"I wanted to get your approval in a secret way. I have a ring in my pocket and I plan on proposing to Clarke when I feel the time is right." Lexa held Abby's stare not letting her eyes falter once.
"Well Lexa with the way I see my daughter smile at you and how she talks about you and lights up when around you I can't help but give you my approval." Lexa broke out in a smile she wanted to jump for joy but she couldn't make anything obvious.
"Lexa, don't hurt my daughter because I am a doctor and I have my ways." Lexa nodded keeping quite for a second from the warning.
"I'm very happy that we are getting to know each other Mrs. Griffin, your daughter is my world." Lexa heard a cough from behind them.
"Mind if I step in?" Clarke was smiling looking at her mother.
"Of course I think I have some pockets to squeeze, oh and Lexa I plan on getting a check from you." Lexa winked at Abby watching her walk away as she pulled Clarke in close.
"Hi." Clarke clung to her girlfriend loving the way her strong arms wrapped around her.
"Hi." Lexa smiled spinning Clarke around hearing her laugh before pulling her back in close.
"So care to tell me what all this sneaking around is about?" Clarke had watched her friends and Lexa huddled up a few times as she had been making her rounds.
"Nothing important I just have some weekend plans for us." Lexa knew it wasn't a lie she planned on taking Clarke to her house or well she hoped it would be there house when Lexa gave her a key.
"Oh really and what are those?" Clarke raised an eyebrow knowing Lexa was up to something.
"Will talk about it later for now I just want to spend the night happy and having you in my arms." Lexa leaned in kissing Clarke like they had no tomorrow. She knew Clarke wanted to move in with her but moving in and adding a ring might be a lot but she never felt more sure about anything in her life.
