Another Time, Another Place

Family Dinner

Gabby finished her bath and choose some clothes, from the closet. Rebel had had the handmaidens fill her closet, with clothes, since she needed grounder style clothes. Gabby choose a casual styled grounder dress, since Rebel had said, it wouldn't be formal, as it was just a family dinner.

Rebel arrived at the door, to take Gabby to the dinning hall, she was wearing tight black pants and a button up, emerald, collared shirt, unbuttoned to show cleavage. Gabby couldn't help her eyes caressing, over Rebel's tight, muscular body.

Rebel was too busy admiring Gabby's curves, in the black dress, she was wearing. Wow, she thought, Gabby really makes that dress look good. Indi is for sure going to hit on. Grrrr

They both ended their perusal of the other's body, looking into the eyes of the other, where they got lost. Eventually Rebel broke eye contact and said, "we better get to dinner, follow me."

They were the last to arrive and everyone went silent when they did. "Ah, everyone, I would like you to meet my friend, Gabriella Kom Trikru, but her friends call her Gabby. Gabby is also known as Kleo Carun, Crown Princess of Sou Mica. She has changed her name and now lives here, because her father tried to make her marry, a gross, old guy, to expand his kingdom, instead of letting her marry for love. So to be clear, we will refer to her as Gabby Kom Trikru, to keep her safe. Gabby, you know my mum's, this is Aunt Raven and Aunt Octavia and their two daughters, Jetta and Nyx and my sisters, Lyric, my twin and Indi." Everyone said politely, nice to meet you and sat down as dinner was served.

"Gabby, how are you finding the training, so far?" Clarke asked.

"It's interesting, hopefully I learn fast, I'm sure I will, Rebel is an excellent teacher." Gabby said.

The evening wore on and everyone continued to get to know Gabby, when Indi asked, "So Gabby, are you into guys, girls, both, everyone? I just want to know, who has a chance with the beautiful, goddess sitting before me."

Clarke looked at Lexa and Lexa said, "don't look at me, the outrageous flirt gene, came from your side of the family, remember you told me just yesterday, I had no game."

"Technically, you do have game, Lex, but your game was to stare at Clarke, with heart eyes, until she came to you." Raven teased. "Lexa's right Clarke, that outrageous flirting, is all yours, I remember commander heart eyes here, blushing as red as a tomato, every time."

"Ignore them, Gabby, I'm exactly the right amount of flirt, so do I have a chance, are you into girls?" Indi said.

"Um," Gabby looked at Rebel, who was scowling at Indi and wasn't any help, "Im bi, but I prefer women. Sorry Indi, you are truely beautiful, but I think I'm a little old for you."

"You are only as old as the woman you are feeling." Indi said suggestively. Winking at Gabby, before glancing at Rebel and seeing the exact reaction she had hoped to achieve, as Rebel glared at her, clearly steamed.

Indi loved Rebel , but she knows how much confidence Rebel lost in love after, her ex girlfriend, Nadia crushed her heart, and if she had to hit on the girl, her sister was clearly crushing on, to get her to make a move, she would. Anyone could see how perfect for each other and how in to each other, these two are.

"That's enough Indi, Gabby doesn't want your pubescent drool all over her, back off." Rebel spat.

"Gabby's an adult, Rebel, she can tell me to back off, why so protective? Have you got a crush on her, yourself or something?" Indi further provoked.

Gabby's eyes jerked to Rebel's, both girls turning red. "Gabby may be an adult, but you are not, now stop it."

Indi and Rebel glared at each other, across the table.

"Girls, enough," Lexa barked. "Indi, you owe Gabby an apology, no means no."

"I am sorry, Gabby, that was not acceptable behaviour, from me and it won't happen again. Will you accept my apology?" Indi said.

"Apology accepted, let's just forget about it." Gabby said.

The rest of the evening was full of happy, family banter. When dinner was over, Rebel said to Gabby, "I am going to take a stroll around the gardens, if you want to join me or otherwise I can show you back to your room, before I go."

"I would love to go for a stroll with you." Gabby said.

The two made their way to the gardens and strolled amongst the fragrant, blooms, until they reached the clearing, commonly used for picnics.

Rebel sat on the ground and motioned for Gabby to join her. "Sometimes I come out here and lay on the grass and watch the stars.  My mother, Clarke, her people used to live on a space ship. It's how they survived Praimfaya 1, I sit here and contemplate what it would be like to be born in space." Rebel said lying down. And looking up.

Its not long before Gabby joins her, lying close to Rebel, "do you see that star there, that's what's left of the ark, they bought most of it to earth, but that is the ring. That's all that's left of my mother's childhood home. Well all that's left in space, at least." Rebel continued looking at Gabby, to see if she was looking. Rebel noticed how close Gabby was to her and continued to stare in awe of her beauty. Gabby feeling Rebels gaze on her, turned her head to look at Rebel. They were so close, they were breathing the same air, both their eyes darted to the others lips and then back to each other's eyes. "I, ah, better get you back to your room, we have an early start tomorrow."

"Ah, yes, my room, thank you, Rebel." Gabby stumbling on her words, after what just almost happened. Could Rebel like her? she thought.

Rebel, on the other hand, was telling herself to get a grip, there is no way Gabby would be into her and she needs to not force her attention, on the girl, who was already trying to escape a sleaze.

They made their way to Gabby's room and said goodnight to each other, before Rebel went to her own suite.
