Chapter 11
While Lexa is driving home she has a big smile on her face. She is very happy that Clarke agreed to the idea she had. Lexa feels a lot better knowing that she doesn’t have to deal with gross dudes who pay her to have sex anymore. It’s just not the life she wants for her. Once she is at home she is immediately calling lots of people to arrange a job interview for Clarke. She has to admit that it isn’t easy because normally they want that Clarke has had at least 2 years of experience in a pharmaceutical company but she wouldn’t be Lexa Woodson if she couldn’t work her way around it. So 2 hours and a bunch of long and aggravating calls later she texts Clarke
To: Prisa
Hey Clarke
You got a job interview on Wednesday at 2pm ;) I send you all the details via Mail. Make sure to bring a CV. After you got the job we will go out celebrating :*
The reply almost arrives immediately
From: Prisa
Omg are you serious?! This is great news Lexa! I am so excited :D Thank you a lot and I can’t wait for going out with you ;)
The next few days Lexa hasn’t any time for Clarke unfortunately. Because she hasn’t been working a lot the past week her ass is crammed with work now. She comes into the office at 7am in the morning and doesn’t leave until 9 or 10pm. She hasn’t got time for anything but working and sleeping. She feels very exhausted but she knows that if she pulls through it, it will pay off a million times so she continues to work her ass off for this company that she built up from nothing. It is her baby and she never would give it up, no matter how hard it gets. She just hopes that Clarke understand all of that, because she can already feel how the blonde feels neglected by her but there’s nothing she can do.
On the day of Clarke’s job interview she almost forgot to wish her good luck. She has been working for a few hours and is totally focused on a report from one of her HR directors as the door opens and somebody comes in. Lexa doesn’t even notice it at first until she looks up and is looking at Clarke who has a big grin on her face and a plastic bag in her right hand.
“Guess who just got a real job!” she cheers.
Lexa smiles and gets up from the chair to hug her “Congratulations! I am very proud of you.” Lexa says. She is truly happy for Clarke, this is going to help her a lot.
“Oh and I got us some lunch, you must be starving.” Clarke says.
“I actually am.” Lexa admits. They sit down, talk a little and eat some Chinese food. “How did you even get past my secretary? She is instructed to let nobody in my office if they don’t have an appointment.” Lexa asks curiously.
“Oh I have my way to work around rules.” Clarke answers with a smile and winks at Lexa.
When they are finished Lexa offers Clarke to walk her out. They walk down the stairs holding hands while a few guys in suits turn around when they see them.
“Why are they all staring?” Clarke asks confused.
“Because I never allowed one of my girlfriends to visit me at work.” Lexa explains.
“Ohh so I am something special. I feel honoured Ms. Woodson.” Clarke says and punches Lexa gently on the shoulder. Lexa holds the door open for Clarke and follows her outside.
“Well, I hope we get some alone time soon.” Clarke says in a low voice and bites her lip while she is giving Lexa that look that always gets her in the mood.
“Me too, baby. I will do whatever I can. I promise.” Lexa says. She leans down and kisses Clarke very gently but the blonde bites her lip playfully during this kiss making her want more.
“Oh my god! Lexa? Is that really you??”
Both of them stop kissing and look into the direction where the voice came from and as Lexa sees who was shouting, her heart feels like a nail has been driven right through it and she whispers “oh please no…”
Clarke just looks confused at the woman who is approaching them now. She is tall, has dark skin and black hair. She wears a tight dress, high heels and a beige trench coat and is dressed very classy for somebody who is apparently just walking through the streets.
“Hello… Costia.” Lexa says as the woman stands right in front of them now.
“I thought it must be you, I can spot this messy hair of yours from a million mile distance.” the woman says in a joking voice. Lexa doesn’t smile and Clarke feels that the grip of Lexa’s hand on hers gets tighter.
“What are you doing here?” Lexa asks in a very cold voice.
“Oh I was just walking to my next customer who wanted to look at an apartment on this block.” Costia explains and now her eyes are wandering to Clarke. “Who is your little friend there?” she asks which makes Clarke a little angry.
“This is Clarke and she is my girlfriend.” Lexa answers with her teeth pressed together giving the woman a very dangerous look.
“Aw how adorable. Better don’t get used to her honey. She gets bored very easily.” Costia advises Clarke and that was too much for her.
“Well, excuse the fuck outta me but who are you?” Clarke asks with an angry tone. Costia just raises her eyebrows.
“Got yourself a feisty one right there. I am one of Lexa’s former… conquests.” Costia explains.
“Costia… stop. You have no right to do this.” Lexa warns her.
“Oh really? Well, I think I have every right for it. But anyways I have stuff to do. I hope you’re having lots of fun with your new toy Lexa.” Costia says and blinks at Clarke.
“I am not her toy!” Clarke says furiously.
“Is that so?” Costia asks and smiles very bright before she walks past them. Both women look after her and Clarke seems to shake out of anger.
“What a fucking bitch! I should go after her and fight this fucking cunt!” Clarke shouts and actually attempts to walk after her but Lexa grabs her by the arm to hold her back.
“You will do no such thing. She’s not worth it.” Lexa tries to calm her down.
“She’s not worth it?? Have you actually heard how she talked to me? And you didn’t even say anything!” Clarke frees herself from Lexa’s grip.
“Don’t let yourself sink to her level! She is a very dangerous woman to play games with.” Lexa explains to the angry blonde.
“I don’t care! I will teach this bitch some manners.” Clarke yells at her.
“Clarke, please listen to me. Don’t let her tempt you to do something you might regret after.” Lexa begs her.
“Whatever, I better get going. I have class in thirty minutes.”
And the blonde just walks off without looking at Lexa again. The brunette just looks after her fighting her tears. She looks up to the sky, closes her eyes and takes a deep breath before she goes back to her office again. No matter what she tries, Clarke is not answering any of her calls or returns any of her text message for the rest of the day. That is making Lexa unbelievable anxious and sad. How could she let it come so far, she should have said something, then she wouldn’t be in this situation right now. But she won’t let her past affect her present and future. No way! As soon as she is done here she will drive to Clarke and she won’t leave until they settled this. Stop now with all the secrets. She is going to lay her cards on the table and tell Clarke everything she wants to know.
