Getting Ready To Break Some Hearts
Before Lexa could go further into that day, Anya’s well manicured fingers were being snapped right next to her ear, successfully pulling Lexa from her memory. She did a quick shake of her head to pull herself back into reality before looking back to Anya.
“Sorry. What did you say?”
“I said, Raven and Lincoln invited us along with some other friends for a night out. Dinner, drinking, and dancing. The whole shit shebang.” Anya thew her hands above her head as she spoke and looked over to Lexa with a huge smile and raised eyebrows.
“I don’t know, Anya. I still have some serious catching up to do for work with all that I’ve missed in the past month. I was thinking about going in for a few hours today.”
The look that Anya gave Lexa was one that spoke a thousand promises of death when she let those words slip out her mouth. Before Lexa could even think to protest once again, Anya had already jumped down from her perch on the countertop and was pulling Lexa towards her bedroom.
“There’s no way in hell you’re going to work today. Captain specifically told me to tell you that you’ve got a few days off and to make sure you don’t step foot anywhere near the precinct because she knows how you are with work. So today your gonna spend it with me getting ready for tonight because we will get you some ass tonight. Lord knows your tight ass needs it.”
“Anya! Seriously?” Lexa gave the woman an appalled look as she snatched her hand out Anya’s grip.
“Yes! You haven’t been with anyone since that little witch Costia who broke your heart! It’s time you move on and finally have some fun. We’ll get you a fine looking girl and have you getting laid before you even know what’s happening!”
Anya threw a smirk over her shoulder before walking over to Lexa’s closet and rummaging though its contents, determined to find the perfect outfit for her to wear. While Anya kept up her search Lexa took the opportunity to walk into her bathroom to start her morning routine. She quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face before going to tame her wild golden brown locks. After quickly pulling her brush through her hair Lexa walked back into her room in time to see Anya pull out a black garment bag. She turned and gave Lexa a devious smile while pulling the dress out of its bag.
“Well it looks like you finally have a reason to wear this very special dress that you just couldn’t pass up when we were in Pennsylvania. It’s time to give this bad boy a night out on the town! And with those black ankle strap heels you’ll make for one hot ass in the club.”
Lexa couldn’t argue with Anya about the dress. Lexa had spotted it while casually browsing around with Anya at a popular dress store in Pennsylvania and just knew that the dress was perfect for her. The dress was black with a high, rounded neckline and a classic bodycon fit and reached mid-thigh. What Lexa liked most about the dress was the low scooping back that gave way to show off her tattoo that ran down the length of her back. Out of all the times Anya had forced her to go drinking with her Lexa had never felt it was the right moment to wear the dress, but as Lexa took another look at the dark material something called to her, almost like the dress was telling her to wear it.
“I think your right. Something’s just telling me to wear it tonight.”
“Maybe that’s the gods finally telling you to get your ass back in the game and get some! This little bit of material could pull all the women from the corners of the earth to fall to your feet with how good it looks on you!”
“Okay, enough about me. What are you going to wear? It’s not like you came in here carrying a dress yourself.”
“I came here to stop you from going into work, maybe get a quick bite for lunch, and get you ready for tonight. There was no way I was going to let you stay home all day or go to work. So I figured as long as I have you all done by 9 I can head back to my place and get myself all gussied up and meet you at the club for 11. Sound good?”
Lexa took a look at the alarm clock that rested on her bedside table to see the squared numbers read off at twelve forty-five. Lexa hadn’t realized how much time had past as her and Anya hd talked that morning. Lexa looked back to Anya and gave her a quick nod of her head before walking over to the dresser where she had placed her phone the night before to pick it up.
“Yeah that sounds fine. How about we order take out and watch some Netflix and then get ready?”
“God yes! I’ve been dying to have that sweet and sour pork from that Chinese place down the block since we first ordered it after we both had those horrible hangovers from Bellamy’s birthday party at Grounders. God I’ll never forget that night.”
Lexa couldn’t help the chill that ran up her spine as she remembered all the hours she spent hugging her toilet while she threw up nothing but alcohol from the party. When Lexa finally had the strength to leave the bathroom that morning she found Anya laying on her couch with an arm thrown over eyes and groaning. Since neither of them were capable of making any kind of food Lexa had walked up to her fridge to get the number to the little Chinese place that she had stopped at a few times after a long day at work. Since then her and Anya had come to love their sweet and sour pork.
She quickly pulled up the number that was now listed in her contacts and ordered Anya and herself two orders of the delicious tasting pork. After giving the worker her address and hearing him say it would be about 15 to 20 minutes, Lexa hung up the phone and placed it back on the dresser.
“Okay, foods all ordered. It should be here in about 20 minutes. Let’s go find something to watch while we wait.”
Anya followed Lexa out into her living room where they both took their respected places on Lexa’s couch. Anya rested her back and the arm of the couch before swinging her legs up and over to rest on top of Lexa’s folded legs. Anya quickly leaned up and snatched the remote out of Lexa’s hands before the woman had anytime to even open the Netflix app that showed on her TV.
“There’s no way in hell I’m letting you pick something. The last time I was here you made me sit through a two hour long documentary on unsolved murders. If I’m going to sit here with you, I’m picking the movie.”
Lexa laughed at Anya as she remembered the night when she had forced her to watch the movie. Anya had almost fallen asleep ten times before Lexa finally gave up and let the woman fall into a bored sleep. About another fifteen minutes passed and both girls were five minutes into a highly praised comedy when they both heard a knock at the door. Lexa quickly shoved Anya’s legs off her lap, which earned her a glare and a quick slap to the leg as she passed her, and quickly paid the delivery boy and took the food back into to the couch. After handing Anya her plastic container filled with pork and a fork she quietly went back to her spot on the couch while pulling Anya’s legs back on her lap.
Both girls spent a few hours watching different genres of movies and filling the apartment with lightly spoken words as they continued to talk about things that Lexa had missed while undercover. The time had snuck up on the women and before they both knew it Anya was helping Lexa fix the last touches of her makeup before pulling her over to the full body mirror that hung on the back of Lexa’s bathroom door. Anya did a once over of Lexa in the mirror before quickly pulling a stray, curly hair behind her ear and giving her a wide smile.
“Let’s see how many hearts you can break tonight. With my amazing skills you look ten times better than you normally do.”
“Shut up Anya.”
Lexa couldn’t help but let her eyes travel over her own body. The dress fit her like a second skin and she absolutely loved the way the black material made her skin look a shade darker than what it really was. Her black ankle strap heels made her about four inches taller and made her legs look miles long. Her eyes held the perfect amount of the smoky black eyeshadow and her lips were colored with a deep red. Her hair, once wild, was perfectly tamed with loose waves that was pulled over her left shoulder and spilled over like a golden waterfall. Lexa wasn’t one to go all out on her makeup everyday but looking at herself now, she couldn’t understand why.
Lexa took one more glance at herself before looking back at a smirking Anya.
“Told you I can work miracles. Well before it gets too late I’m gonna head over to my place and get ready. I’ll meet you at Grounders around ten fifty so we can get a couple tables and order some first rounds of everyone.”
Anya quickly strutted out the bedroom after Lexa gave her a quick nod and a goodbye before grabbing her purse off the kitchen counter and making her way out the apartment. After Lexa heard the door shut she quickly looked back at the mirror and did a slight turn to see her back in the dress. After being satisfied that her whole back tattoo could be seen she faced forward once more before quickly letting out a long breath and giving herself some words of encouragement.
“Okay Woods, you can do this. Let’s break some hearts tonight.”
Lexa gave herself a small smile before walking around her room to make sure she had everything she would need for tonight. Little did she know that a certain blonde above her was also giving herself the exact same pep talk.
