Dangerous Women.

chapter 4

Just a few days have passed since the meeting. Today is Thursday  and lexa and i are meeting up with the photographer Shauna.

Today is important for me. For many different reasons. Today  the start of my career begins. Today is the day i get heard by the world. Fashion is my art. Well one of my forms of art.

All in all it is important to me. I could either ruin everything, or take off to my success. There is no in between. All these emotions and thoughts hit my head all at once.  Im stressed to say the least. But i will not let the fear of losing dictate my one chance at this.

I stand in the mirror Taking one last look at myself. The sun is hot and bright out. The wind is tamed. I decided on bright colors, of green and white. I tilted my head adjusting my outfit a little bit more, when i hear the notification on my phone.

When i pick it up i see a text and the contacts name was "Boss Lady." I crossed my eyebrows. I must've forgotten to change it to lexa. To much has happened in just a few days, to take her as just my boss.

I open the message and read.

LEXA- "No need to drive to the restaurant. Ill be there in 10."

CLARKE- "Its fine i can drive."

LEXA- "It wasn't an offer. It'll look bad if one of my employees shows up separately from they're boss. It shows division between the company."

CLARKE- "Alright i guess."

I sighed tossing my phone to the bed. Shes such an asshole. She will definitely have a big part in me being nervous today. I just wish i could go back to that day, to just say 'No.' And blame it on how straight i am. Since that day she hasnt left my mind. Im sick of it.

Once i had finished i walked out of my loft and Trough to hallway  to the elevators. Once there i clicked the button and almost immediately the doors opened. I smiled bright when i saw octavia returning home from work. her hair is a mess and her clothes look slept in. Black rabands cover her swollen eyes. She smiled back and gave me a peck on the cheek once she steps into the hall.

"Late night at the club?" I asked.

"Yeah. Im pretty sure i died 15 hours ago, and this is where God sent my soul."

I laughed at her humor, and my eyes turned quickly noticing the two others behing her. Bellamy her brother and Lincoln her boyfriend. They walked out of the elevator and up to us. Lincoln gave me a side hug.

"Hey girl." He said impersonating a vally girl.

"Hey." I replied. I could see bellamy was nervous being around me. Ever since the break up we haven't spoken.

"Clarke." He saids warmly.

"Hey, bell." I smiled friendly.

"Where ya headed?" Octavia saids breaking the awkward stare.

"A meeting with the photographer of vogue." I say all to happy. Bellamys eyes widen as he tilts his head. He smiles proudly. Lincoln gasp acting like a teenage girl, yet again.

"Thats today?" Octavia asked tressed as she smacked her hand to her forehead.

"Yeah." She sighs apologetically.

"Im so sorry i couldn't be here earlier to help you prepare. Im just so stressed."

"Don't even apologize Oct i understand. Its fine." I replied.

"Hey listen call a few of your friends from work over tonight. Im throwing you a congratulations party." She saids.

"You don't have to Oct-" she cuts me off.
