Kiss me, Not

Getting Lost And Found

Noooo.... No.... It can't be. No!  Clarke twirled around and faced away from the doorway when she saw who's house it was. "Fuck..." I'm screwed.

"Clarke? Honey?," Abby called out, "Are you feeling okay?"

Clarke nodded assuringly, slowly turned around and extended her arm forward for a handshake, with her head dunked down in embarrassment. Indra was surprised, "Why? Abby you're daughter is too formal," she chuckled, pulling the blonde into a tight embrace, "In this household no handshaking, only hugging is allowed," Indra cheerfully uttered, patting on the blonde's back.

Clarke grinned and squeezed back, she kept her eyes down. Way way down, away from those green eyes that were for sure was watching her. She let out another shaky breath and backed away from Indra, Gustus came and hugged Abby and then Clarke.

"Lexa, Charlotte please meet Clarke," Indra introduced, putting the girls face to face. Charlotte smiled sweetly, too sweet for Clarke's taste but she nodded and smiled back. She looked up and saw those green alluring eyes, as if its piercing through her soul. Too much... This is too much... The blonde nodded at her way and averted her eyes back to the ground, she could see the smirk on those beautiful face. Clarke grimaced, How could you be so dumb, Clarke? Out of all my mom's friend why does have to her family?

She flared her nose one last time and entered the Woods mansion. It was magical, it was like those huge mansions that you see inside the magazines, tv shows or movies. Unbelievable. The blonde was in utter bewilderment, marvelling her eyes on grand carpeted  floors, huge chandeliers, tall bookcases filled with some unknown heavy words that she can't even pronounced. She shook her head trying to erase away those big words from letting it drown her. They followed Indra into a huge dining area with a long mahogany table surrounded by plush chairs. The table were set up with plates rimmed with gold, knives and forks in different sizes, tall white candles and napkins folded like a crane. This can't be real. People doesn't live like this... Or do they... Clarke was still stunned by the sight, her mouth was agape. Until a cold palm touched her chin, pushing it up, closing her mouth in the process. Clarke stepped back, when she realised Lexa was towering over her, in fact openly smirking at her with a raised eyebrow.

Clarke cleared her throat and softly mumbled, "Sorry..." side-stepping the brunette and sat down beside her mom who was animatedly chatting away with Gustus and Indra. She could feel the piercing gaze from the brunette, she grimaced again dunking her flustering face from a view.

"Alright!" Indra clapped, ushering everyone to take a sit, Clarke noticed that Lexa sat down directly in front of her still eyeing her with the very same smirk with a tint of amusement. "Let's eat! Everybody dig in. Abby, Clarke please make yourself comfortable. Make yourself at home. Okay? This is your home now." Eyeing Abby who was nodding in deep appreciation.

"Thank you, Indra. I wouldn't know where to go if you hadn't called me. Clarke and I would have slept in the streets for all I know. So thank you. Gustus. Indra. Thank you very much," Abby chanted over and over again, Clarke squeezed her mom's forearm and mumbled another thank you. She was very pleased and appreciative with the kindness of the Woods family. With no living relatives and people who even they considered as their friends chased them away like some unwanted dogs. She will be forever grateful for Indra and Gustus' kindness... Even if... Lexa was their daughter. Oh god... she's still watching me. Relax, Clarke. Don't get fazed up. You can do this! Clarke held her head high and let out another breath, she forked down the meatloaf inside her mouth until she couldn't stuff anymore.

Abby touched her arm, "slow down, honey," she whispered. Clarke made a gagging noise, flinging her hands, gesturing at her throat. She was frantically grasping for air until Abby handed her a glass of water. She downed it in one go and slumped over her chair. Panting and sighigh, until the ringing of snickers were echoing the room. She looked up and Lexa and Charlotte was laughing at her.
