Chapter 6
Raven barged into Clarke's room and immediately started yelling, despite the blonde was still asleep. She almost fell off from the bed when Raven jumped onto it next to her.
"Clarke, answer that goddamn phone!"
"Okay, okay, calm down, geez." Clarke answered the phone without looking at the caller ID. "Oh, hi mom. Yes, I'm free today. I think Raven is too." Raven nodded in agreement she was, indeed, free that day. "Why? Oh, you want to meet Lexa? No, that's not a problem, I'll ask her. Okay, bye."
"Clarke, why does your mother want to meet Lexa? You told her you're friends, right?"
"Of course I did. But she's delusional and thinks I have to fuck everyone in my sight. She sometimes tries to set me up with some idiots."
"What the hell? I thought she was normal."
"She was." The blonde rolled her eyes and groaned. "I think she's bored and it's her way to have fun."
"I could think of many other ways of having fun for your mother." Raven said with a wink which caused Clarke to groan louder.
"Stop it."
"I didn't even start anything. But I'd definitely start something with Abby. I mean, she's hot!"
"Stop it or I'll tell her everything!"
"Please do. Maybe she thinks the same way about me and she'd want to go on a date?" Raven giggled at Clarke's annoyed expression. "Oooh, and maybe we could go on a double date with you and Lexa!"
"Stop it now! And get out, I don't wanna hear anymore of this!" Clarke buried herself under pillow. "There won't be a double date. Like never!"
"Oh come on, Clarkey, think about it."
"Don't call me that. You know I hate this. And what the fuck are you doing in my room? I thought I changed lock in my door after last time?" Clarke asked from under the pillow and Raven grinned at her sheepishly and started slowly walking out of the room.
"Well, I mean, you know... Lexa let me in?"
"She's not even home right now, Raven. Better think of better excuse." Clarke threw the pillow off of her head and glared at Raven who was half step behind the doorstep and ready to run.
"Okay, okay." Raven threw her hands in the air and grimaced. "I might or might not pick the lock in your door, but first I knocked a few times! After that I broke into your house."
"Stop breaking into my house, I took my keys from you for a reason, you know?"

"So, girls, tell me how you two met." Abby said with a nice smile, but Raven immediately started laughing. Clarke's mother eyes her suspiciously while Lexa just sat there awkwardly playing with her hands until Clarke spoke.
"Well... It's not very interesting, because I was visiting Raven once and Lexa was there. We... talked and... talked and I think we're friends since then." Clarke said with equally nice smile, not minding Raven's laugh. Lexa simply nodded her head, but Abby didn't like that answer.
"So, how long do you know each other?"
"I don't know, I wasn't looking at a calendar when I met Lexa. But I think something about two weeks."
"That's... Very short time, Clarke. Are you sure about this?" Abby asked like there was something much more between her daughter and Lexa. But before Clarke managed to answer, four women could hear a loud and hoarse barking going from somewhere in the house. After a moment a big brown and hairy dog emerged from the stairs and started happily jumping and barking at everyone at the table. Raven squeaked and Abby jumped from shock, but Clarke and Lexa seemed unfazed by the dog and started stroking him and scratching his ears.
"Hi, Gus, I missed you!" The blonde cooed to the dog as he happily waggled his tail. The girl never saw Lexa as happy as then during these two weeks. Abby noticed it too.
"I see you like Gus." She smiled widely. "I'd give him to you because I'm still scared of him after ten years, but he's old. And I think I feel safer with him in the house." She said looking apologetically at Lexa.
"Oh no, Ms. Griffin, I never had a dog, I would not know how to take care of him." Lexa said smiling sadly and in that moment a genius idea appeared in Clarke's head.
After a dinner they spent some more time with Abby and she gave them some leftovers. Luckily, she didn't ask anymore questions about Clarke and Lexa's relationship and the blonde was internally thankful for that. Before they went home, Gus came to say goodbye and Lexa spent a long time cuddling to him and scratching his ears.
When they got into Clarke's Audi a6 Raven immediately turned radio on and started loudly singing to every song even if she didn't know the lyrics. Thanks to Raven singing neither Lexa or Raven noticed Clarke was driving towards animal shelter. They only then did notice when she stopped the car in front of the building.
"Um, Clarke, that doesn't look like your apartment. What are we doing here?" Raven asked they got out of the car.
"Remember when I told you I wanted a dog few months ago?"
"Uh, yeah. But you said you don't have time and you don't want to have a dog alone..." Raven trailed off, finally understanding why Clarke decided she wanted a dog. The blonde grinned and opened the door to animal shelter.
"Finally Raven, I can say you're a 100% genius. You made someone perfect for me." Clarke whispered into Raven's ear as they walked into the building with confused Lexa in tow.
The employee led them to the room where all the dogs have been and told them to play with the dogs, meet them and think good about the one they want to take home. Raven stood there awkwardly while Lexa was in heaven and Clarke was watching her with a goofy smile on her face. The robot was so happy and cute with all these dogs, the blonde wanted to take home at least five of them. Lexa wanted it too, but Raven was the responsible one and told them they could have only one dog, so they decided they wanted a black labrador puppy.
When they got home, Clarke finally realized they didn't buy him any toys or blanket to sleep on, so Lexa said he would sleep with her. When the blonde tried to argue with her, she said it was her dog, she loved him and no one would took him from her. Then she started hugging him so Clarke accepted the fact, that it was indeed, Lexa's dog.
"So, how are you going to name him?"
"Um, why can't he be just named 'dog'? It's easier."
"Of course you can name him dog, but it would be weird. Think of something else."
"I don't know. Titus?"
"Nah, when I hear Titus I can see old bald grumpy man." Clarke scrunched her nose with disgust and in that very moment Lexa noticed how beautiful was Clarke. Of course she shouldn't have such thoughts, so she stopped listening and started thinking about 'human feelings' instead. Only then she woke up when Clarke yelled at her.
"Lexa!"
"Wha- What?"
"Are you okay?"
"Sure, I was just thinking about... things." The brunette rolled her eyes at herself internally. What a stupid excuse! "Hey, do you think maybe I could name him Fish?"
"Fish?" Clarke repeated and looked at Lexa with disbelief in her eyes. Lexa opened her mouth to say something, but the blonde was faster. "Sure, you can name him Fish."
