Chapter 14
PROMPT: “Wait, fuck!”
“Clarke! We’re going to be late!” Lexa glances down at her watch again. “We’re going to miss the start of the first act if we don’t hurry.”
“I’m coming! I’m coming!”
“That’s what you said five minutes ago,” Raven says from Lexa’s side, rolling her eyes. “Seriously. For once, I’m ready before Clarke is. I’m always the one who makes us late.”
“True.”
Raven shoves Lexa’s shoulder. “You’re supposed to be like, ‘No, babe, you’re fine’.”
“You are fine, but you are also always late,” Lexa says, lips quirking up at one corner.
“Well, you can bite it today because I was ready the same time you were.”
Lexa’s smile grows as she says, “I will give you that.”
“Clarke, for fuck’s sake!” Raven shouts, and Clarke slides around the corner in the hall a moment later. She half-prances, half-waddles her way down the hall as she puts a shoe on and an earring in at the same time. “It’s about time.”
“Sounds familiar,” Clarke drawls. “I would know because I say the same thing to you every single time we go somewhere.”
“Some of your own medicine then,” Raven counters. “Besides, I was not the one who was late today. Let’s go.”
Lexa opens the door for her girlfriends and waits for Raven to pass followed by Clarke, who stops to smack a kiss to Lexa’s cheek as she passes. Lexa closes the door behind herself. She is sliding the key into the knob to lock it when Raven shouts, “Wait, fuck! I forgot to brush my teeth!”
Groaning, Lexa presses her forehead to the door. “Honestly, why do I put up with you two?”
Clarke snorts as Raven pushes back toward the door and wraps her arms around Lexa’s body. “Look who’s making us late now?”
Raven squeezes Lexa’s middle. “I suck so hard! I know!”
