Look Who's Coming to Dinner
Charmer- I'm pulling up.
“Lexa's pulling up. Open the door for her and behave” Raven and Octavia raised their hands in resignation as Clarke walked back into her room for her shoes.
“We're still interrogating her, right?” Raven asked.
“Duh” Immediately after Octavia answered, there was a knock on the door.” I'm bad cop”
“What? I wanted to be bad cop” Raven whined, walking to the door. Octavia stuck her tongue out at her just before she ripped the for open, startling Lexa.” Enter” Raven commanded, gesturing Lexa to sit on the couch.
“Umm, hi” Lexa stuttered under the death glares she was receiving from both women in the room.
“So, what are your intentions for our Clarke?” Raven asked, circling the couch while scowling at Lexa.” You in this for the long run or is she your next conquest?”
“I don't understand. Raven, you gave me her number and a summary of her life. What's going on?” Lexa questioned, smiling at Raven.
“Dammit, Woods. I was playing bad cop. Let me have my moment, will ya?” Raven threw a pillow at a cackling Octavia.
“I told you to let me be bad cop”
” Shut up. Let's see you try and threaten her. She'll chew you up and spit you out”
“I'll make it simple, Woods. If you hurt her, I'll castrate you and keep them as a trophy afterward. My brother's a cop, so I can make it happen and get away with no charges” Octavia threatened, staring directly into Lexa's eyes to show she was serious.
“I don't think that's necessary” Lexa responded, subtly crossing her legs.” Are you guys ready?” Lexa shifted the conversation away from her possible castration.
“Hell, yeah. I'm starving” Raven spoke up, already heading for the exit. “What are you waiting for?”
“Clarke” Lexa and Octavia said simultaneously.
“Hurry the hell up, Griff! I'm withering away as we speak”
“Don’t rush me. You were fine like ten seconds ago” Clarke called out, stumbling through her door, trying to slip on her heels. She smiled once she saw Lexa. “Hi” Lexa returned her grin and meet her strides halfway.
“Hey there, pretty girl” Lexa greeted, dipping her head for a kiss.
“Stop it. You’re going to make me lose my appetite.” Raven groused, frowning at the two. Her expression deepened when Clarke flipped her off as she hooked her hands around Lexa’s neck.” Do you see this. It’s like we’re not even here” Lexa snaked her hands to Clarke’s ass and gave it a squeeze. Octavia snuck a picture of the two.
“Blackmail” she whispered when Raven gave her a strange look.
“Seriously? Stop” Clarke’s tongue darted out to lick Lexa’s lips and Lexa parted her lips in return, licking the roof of Clarke’s mouth. Clarke’s moan triggered Lexa’s. “Well, damn. I’m kinda turned on right now.” Clarke sighed and pulled away with a flush on her face and swollen lips.
“Way to ruin a moment, Raven”
“All in a day’s work” Raven winked and walked out the door with Octavia, trying to stifle her laughter, on her heels. Clarke tugged Lexa out of the door, locking it, before intertwining their hand and leading her towards the elevator.
“Is she always like this?” Lexa queried as they stepped on the elevator, turning Clarke’s back to her front and settling her chin on her shoulder.
“No. Sometimes she’s better when she’s asleep” The pair took their time walking out to the car. They found Octavia and Raven driveling over it.
“I’ve been wanting to see this thing up close since last night” Raven told Lexa, laying her head on the hood and stroking it gently. Lexa untangled herself from Clarke to tear Raven off of her car.
“I just got it washed” Lexa justified, taking out a rag and dusting where Raven laid down at.
“I call shotgun!” Octavia yelled when Lexa unlocked the doors. Raven immediately protested. While they were bickering, Clarke had eased her way into the front seat. “ Hey! I called the front seat” Octavia complained, staring daggers at Clarke.
“So? I get first dibs anyway” Clarke retorted, snapping her seat belt on.
“How do you reckon ?”
“I’m sleeping with the driver” Octavia narrowed her eyes at the blonde before slipping into the backseat, muttering “Fuck you” as she did so.
“I think Lexa already got that covered” Raven remarked, sliding in next to her.
The house was two stories high with gray painted wood panels all over except the portion around the front door. The section surrounding the entrance was marble and glass. The residence was surrounded by bushes and trees. The grass was perfectly trimmed and the dirt in the flower bed was freshly tilled.
“Woah! This house is bigger than yours, Clarkey. How many people live here?” Raven whistled, stepping out the car and ogling at the mansion in front of her.
“Only two right now. But before I went to college, three” Lexa replied, running around to open Clarke’s door.” Well, four, when Anya moved in late into my senior year. We usually host all family gatherings, so we needed a significant amount of space”
“Exactly how many people are we talking about?” Clarke asked, suddenly nervous. Lexa smiled warily at her before being startled by Gustus’s booming voice.
“What monstrosity is this? Indra! The Patriots fan has turned your daughter against me” Gustus hollered, shaking his head at Lexa. Clarke chuckled before yelling back at him.
“She just realized the Patriots are the best team in the league!”
“That’s all lies and conjecture. You probably bribed her with sex” Raven and Octavia snickered behind them.
“I like this guy” Raven whispered loud enough so that only the four heard.
“Don’t just stand there. I’m hungry. Your mother insisted we wait for you, like you’re our child or something” Gustus scoffed, beckoning them forward.” I used to respect you” He told Lexa as she walked by him.” And tell your little girlfriend she’s on my list” Indra appeared in the doorway of the foyer.
“You should know better Lexa” Indra berated once she caught sight of what her daughter was wearing.” Clarke, how are you?”
“I’m feeling accomplished for getting her in that jersey” Clarke smirked at the older woman.
“Aha! So it was the sex” Gustus determined, pointing accusingly at Clarke. Indra awaited an explanation from Lexa, who shook her head.
“Don’t ask” As soon as the words left her mouth, something small crashed into her legs. A tiny girl, about five years old, looked up at Lexa with a gap toothed smile.” Tris!” Lexa gasped, plucking the kid off the floor and placing her on her hip. Tris wrapped her arms around Lexa’s neck and saw Clarke staring at them. She poked at Lexa’s side to get her attention,
“Lexa, who’s that?” Lexa turned around to see who she was talking about and smiled once she realized it was Clarke.
“That, little bit, is Clarke”
“She’s pretty” Tris tried to whisper in her ear but failed miserably.
“I know”
“Is she your girlfriend?”
“I wish” Lexa scoffed, sending a wink to Clarke. Tris squirmed out of Lexa’s arms and stood in front of Clarke, tugging on her jersey. Clarke bent down to face her and Tris lifted her arms up for her to pick her up.
“Yes?” Clarke asked as she placed Tris on her hip.
“You’re nicer than her old girlfriend. She never came here to watch the game, cuz she was too busy. You should be her girlfriend”
“Should I, now?” Tris nodded enthusiastically.” Well, first, I need to be asked” Clarke told Tris before addressing Lexa.” Secondly, I think it’s conniving to use children to do your dirty work for you”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about” Lexa claimed, feigning a look of innocence.” Where’s everybody else?”
“The kitchen. Lincoln is trying to barbecue on the patio, though” Gustus said, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “Hey, Lexa. Why don’t you help him out?”
“Okay,” Lexa dragged out the last syllable and walked further into the house.
“Now, Clarke. Follow me. I have something for you. Then you can meet Caris and Nyko”
“This” Gustus paused, lifting his hands and turning around the room.” is my man cave. Formerly known as Lexa’s room. This room holds the jersey of every quarterback in the league. I’ve gotten a few of them signed” He explained, indicating the autographed ones.
“And why are you showing me this?” Clarke asked, observing the continents of the room.“ Not that I don’t appreciate it”
“I’ve never seen her smile quite that like before and I’d like to see that more often” Gustus unhooked the picture off of the wall, revealing a safe.” We adopted her when she was 4 months. Her birth parents wrote her a letter that came with a silver infinity necklace. We gave it her on her eighteenth birthday. In the letter, they told her that when she finds the love she deserves she should give that person the necklace” He huffed at the memory, pulling out a box” She tore the clasp and threw it across the room. She doesn’t know but I had it fixed, and I’m giving it to you” Gustus exposed the pendant to Clarke, who was stunned.
“I can’t take that. You barely even know me”
“True but I have feeling that is going to change” He turned her around and snapped the necklace around her neck.” Even if you’re a Patriots fan”
“Are you ever going to get over that?”
“Never”
“Well, that was anticlimactic” Raven sighed, relaxing further into the couch.” At least I got free food”
“Yeah, and I thought you were supposed to show me what a real team looks like” Clarke teased, referring to the game. The game ended in a tie with only twelve points on the scoreboard from both sides, including overtime.” Why don’t you check New England’s scores?”
“I’ll admit it. We had an off week” Gustus reasoned” But it wasn’t an entire waste of time. Now, we get to grill you” He looked over the room. Octavia had gradually shifted closer to Lincoln. Raven was practically laying on top of Anya, and Lexa had pulled Clarke onto her lap.” All three of you from the looks of it. How long have you known each other?”
“Four years. We met at cheerleading tryouts if you can believe it”
“You were a cheerleader?” Anya asked Raven, and Octavia and Clarke scoffed.” What?”
“She was junior year for about what two days?” Octavia nodded. “And she got kicked off the team two weeks into the season senior year” Clarke divulged, laughing at Raven.
“I had medical problems junior year. And the captain senior year was a bitch and totally overreacted” Raven defended herself to the room.
“I didn’t realize excessive laziness was a medical problem. And the captain” Octavia pointed to Clarke.” saved your ass. You should’ve gotten expelled”
“Whatever! I went to that stupid cheerleading camp for nothing, and it wasn’t supposed to blow up. I was trying to make the confetti cannon better. And what kind of thanks do I get?”
“Thanks? You sent five girls to the hospital!” Clarke broke in.
“Only 3 were seriously hurt”
“The entire game stopped because of you”
“The football team was losing anyway. What are you complaining about? You got a boyfriend out of it”
“And a concussion”
“Wait. What do you mean? Clarke never had a boyfriend senior year” Octavia corrected.
“Oops!” Raven uttered, mouthing “sorry” to Clarke.
“Clarke, what is she talking about?”
“It doesn’t really count as a relationship” Clarke was cut off by Raven.
“You dated all through senior year. Then when you dumped Nyliah. And after your first breakup with Finn”
“Not helping, Rae”
“Who was it? Is it someone I know?” Octavia quizzed, leaning forward.
“Oh you know him” Raven quipped.
“Shut up, Raven” Clarke and Octavia demanded, getting flipped off in return.
“It was Bellamy” Clarke confessed, retreating back into Lexa’s arms for the storm she knew was coming.
“Bellamy, Bellamy. As in my brother, Bellamy. What the shit, Clarke?! Why would you keep this from me? We tell each other everything”
“Well, Raven slept with Murphy” Clarke blurted out, causing Raven’s eyes to go wide.
“Betrayal. Clarke Griffin is thy name” Raven gasped.” Well, Octavia thinks your dad’s hot”
“Raven hit on Harper!” Octavia countered.
“My seventeen-year-old cousin Harper!”
“She doesn’t look her age. Octavia saw your mom naked”
“Raven thinks she’s hot”
“So do you” Raven retorted.
“Any chance you guys can forget this ever happened?” Clarke asked the Woods, who were still watching Raven and Octavia’s bickering.
“Not until I see how hot your mom is” Gustus responded, earning a smack on the back of the head from Indra.
“I’d be willing to forget it for a price” Lexa whispered in Clarke’s ear.
“And what price is that?” Clarke turned her head to face the brunette.
“You still have that cheerleading uniform?”
“Well, that was the most interesting family dinner we’ve had” Lexa confessed. She and Clarke were sitting in the car in front of her apartment.
“I wish I could say that doesn’t happen often but it does” The blonde sighed before continuing” Other than our ‘round of truth’, I had a great time”
“I’m glad,” Lexa told her as she opened the car door.
“Bye, Charmer” Clarke pressed a kiss to her cheek before turning to leave.
“Bye, Pretty Girl” Clarke stopped at the door and turned to face her again.
“Do you have any morning classes tomorrow?”
“No, why?”
“How about a nightcap?”
Lexa woke up entangled with Clarke with her head on Clarke’s chest and a Nicki Minaj song blaring in her ear. She lifted her head to see Clarke’s phone buzzing on the dresser.
“Clarke your phone” Lexa yawned, laying her head back down on Clarke’s chest. Clarke just grunts in response, so Lexa nudged her to wake up.
“Huh?”
“Your phone’s ringing” Clarke reached out and answered her phone.
“Hello?” Clarke greeted with her eyes still closed.
“Clarke! Who’s that hot girl you’re making out with on Octavia’s Instagram?” Aden's voice rang through her ears.
“What are you talking about, Aden?”
“The girl who had her tongue down your throat. Gross, by the way,” Clarke put him on speakerphone and opened Instagram. The first picture that loaded was the one of her and Lexa. Lexa had her hands on Clarke’s ass and she could clearly see Lexa’s tongue in her mouth. The caption underneath read: @theOriginalblake does it make you jealous that @CGriffindor isn’t kissing you? That’s right. I know. You can’t ignore me forever.
“None of your business. What does that have to do you anyhow?”
“It doesn’t I just saw it on Octavia’s Instagram. But you should know dad saw and he wants to meet her”
“That’s not happening. Since when do you follow Octavia on Instagram? And aren’t you supposed to be at school?”
“She’s hot. I am. There’s a sub. Oh, and dad left like an hour ago to come see you”
“Go do something productive. I gotta go. Bye,” Clarke hung up and shoved Lexa off of her. “ Sorry, but you have to go. My dad will be here any minute and he can't see you. Especially like that” She gestured to Lexa’s half naked body.
“You know, most people would love to see me in just my bra and briefs. It would be a privilege for him to see me like this” Lexa smirked, rolling back on Clarke.” Do I at least get a goodbye kiss before you kick me out?” Clarke sighed before pecking Lexa’s lips.” That’s it. Come on, you can do better than that” Clarke wrapped her arms around Lexa’s neck and pulled her down to her lips. The kiss turned passionate rather quickly. Lexa’s tongue brushed against Clarke’s lips, asking for entrance. Clarke gasped when Lexa subconsciously ground down on her and Lexa slipped her tongue through the small opening. Then the doorbell rang, and Clarke pushed Lexa off her onto the floor.” Ow”
“Sorry!” She got off the bed and flung Lexa’s clothes towards her.” Get dressed and hide”
“Why are you so scared of me meeting my future father-in-law?” Lexa grinned when Clarke rolled her eyes.
“Well for one, you say shit like that. And two, you half naked with your dick tucked in your waistband to hide your morning wood and it’s not doing a very good job. Which is another thing, what has you so riled up?”
“She likes you” Lexa shrugged, slipping on her shirt.
“She?”
“Clarke! Are you up?” Jake shouted through the door.
“Shit” Clarke whispered as she pushed Lexa into the closet.” In a minute!”
“You do realize the irony in this, right?” Lexa asked, catching the door before Clarke closed it.
“Yeah and I’m sorry. I’ll make it up to you” She pressed a kiss into Lexa’s lips and pushed her into the closet, slamming the door.” Come in, dad!”
“Hey, sweetie. Are you okay? You look a bit flustered” Jake greeted her, stepping into the room.
“What? I’m fine. How’d you get in?”
“Octavia and Raven let me in. So, um, where are you hiding this girlfriend of yours?” Jake smiled, looking at the pants sticking out of the closet.
“What are you talking about?”
“Clarke. Her pants are hanging out the closet” Clarke sighed and turned towards the closet.
“You can come out, Lexa” Lexa poked her head out, waving at the pair before stepping out fully.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Griffin” Lexa reached out to shake his hand while her other hand was holding her pants in front of her crotch. Clarke stood between them to prevent her dad from seeing Lexa’s situation. Clarke accidentally pushed her ass against Lexa’s front, making Lexa release a throaty groan.
“Uh, dad, can you wait in the living room? I’ll be out in a second” Jake eyed the duo and exited the room quietly.” Take a quick, cold shower so I don’t have to deal with this alone”
