Deception (Clexa)

1

Raven ran and ran down the surprisingly long hallway, leaping and jumping over people in The White House. Some thought she was on some kind of drug the way her face looked determined and the spiny tricks she did through obstacles. She doesn't remember it taking this long to get to Clarke's room but she didn't mind the journey, Raven couldn't wait to tell Clarke what came in the mail today. Of course she had to bribe the bratty secretary to get her hands on the envelope first. It was early in the morning, she knows Clarke isnt awake yet but what better way to wake her up with this good news. Raven finally reached Clarke's bedroom, she didn't bother knocking instead she barged in with no hesitation.

"God dammit Raven" Clarke yelped covering her body with the sheets.

"My eyes, they burn" Raven cried.

"Very funny now get the hell out" Clarke said wrapping the sheet around herself, giving the woman next to her a look that said its time for her to take her leave. The woman left the room without a word, leaving Raven and Clarke alone.

"Okay, I'll just go with this very important information I have" Raven slowly walked to the door waving the envelope in her hand.

"Is that?" Clarke jumped up.

"Mhm" Raven smirked. Clarke ran over grabbing the envelope out of her hand while managing to keep the sheet on. Clarke sat down on the bed examining the envelope. Raven took a seat in a chair knowing it was best not to sit on the bed Clarke just had sex in.

"Are you going to open it or?" Raven was very impatient, they had been waiting for this to come in the mail for about a week now.

"Maybe I will, maybe I won't" Clarke set the envelope down beside the her. "For fucks sake" Raven got up and quickly grabbed it, tearing it open.

"Be careful, we may not ever get one of those again" Raven rolled her eyes and continued to see what was inside the envelope. She squealed jumping up and down.

"We got invited? Didn't we!?" Raven nodded and Clarke got up to jump in joy with her, discarding her sheet without a care. "Woah Blondie, how about you get some clothes on while I pick on your security gaurd" Clarke quickly grabbed the sheet to cover herself.

"Rae leave that poor man alone. I could order him to kill you, ya know?" Clarke grabbed the paper from Ravens hand and shooed her out. "You could never kill me, you love me too much" Raven yelled on the way out the door. Clarke shook her head and mumbled "Why do I put up with her" Clarke smiled and looked at the invitation. It was a invite to one of the biggest dinners that happens once every two years and Clarke was not invited to the last one. You'd think being Madame President, she'd already have a free invitation. Sadly, the countries allies didn't really trust Clarke. They found it odd that Lexa disappeared and Clarke immediately took the position as President. Not saying that they think she had something to do with Lexa's death but people will make up anything. Its been five years and they still see her as unqualified as president. Clarke set the invitation on her bedside table and went to her wardrobe to get dressed. When she was done she exited the room meeting up with Raven in the west wing.

"So?" Raven looked over at Clarke with a questionable look. "So what?" Clarke asked.

Raven narrowed her eyes "Don't play stupid blondie, today marks the six week that woman has been in your room, that's way more times than any of the others" Clarke kept walking never looking at Raven.

"Its nothing Rae, just a sex buddy" Clarke couldn't imagine falling for someone, that chapter of her life has closed.

"Sex buddy eh?" Raven didn't mind Clarke moving on it took her three whole years to stop grieving Lexa. Raven was staying strong not only for her wife but for Clarke who had a hard time coping. It was nice to see her best friend interacting with another human being.

"Yes sex buddy, she's easy to talk to and the sex is good I guess" Clarke shrugged and opened the doors to the meeting room. No one was in it yet but it was always good to review the stuff before the meeting begins.

"Well what's this easy to talk to dirty blonde's name?" Raven ask leaning on the edge of the meeting room table, arms crossed.

"Niylah" Clarke said nonchalantly while taking a seat at the head of the table, going through files. "Interesting" Raven smirked and leaned off the table taking a seat on the left side of Clarke.

"What?" Clarke glanced at her best friend.

"Nothing" Raven smiled, Clarke was letting someone in after all these years and it made Raven happy. "Will this...Niylah be accompanying us to the dinner tomorrow night?" Raven asked hopefully, she looked forward to harassing the woman.

"I don't think so, she's not into things like that" Clarke continued going through the files purposely not making eye contact with Raven because the girl is known for reading her emotions. The truth is Clarke doesn't want anyone to get involved with this stressful life she's living. She's a mess and no matter how hard someone tries to clean her up, the mess will always remain. "If she changes her mind, let me know"

Clarke looked up from the files "And why would I do that" Clarke retorted. "So I can make sure the two of you are color coordinated for the occasion. What are you wearing by the way?" Clarke rolled her eyes and stacked the papers in two separate piles. "I'm definitely not telling you now"

Raven rolled her eyes and pulled out her phone typing away. Clarke tried to ignore her but the girl had a devilish smile forming upon her face. "What did you do?" Clarke asked.

"Hm you'll just have to wait until tomorrow night to find out" Raven smirked slipping her phone back inside her pocket.

"Rae I swear...." The prime minister and his posse had arrived which meant Clarke would have to continue this conversation with Raven later on. Everyone took their seats and waited for Clarke to start the meeting.

Clarke stood clasping her hands together "Shall we begin"
