Deception (Clexa)

22

Clarke was dancing with Octavia until she decided to take a break. Her friend being pregnant sure has made a difference in their routine. Raven was dancing with her wife. Clarke couldn't quite place it but everyone looked happy tonight. Clarke would be lying if she said she didn't feel it too. The warmth in her chest the smile that made her cheekbones hurt the feeling of home all around her. Someone must have been looking out for her because somehow someway they brought Lexa back to her and she couldn't have asked for anything else in the world. No one could imagine what that feels like no one could understand the warmth in her heart. Clarke smiled and continued dancing alone on the dance floor letting her hips speak to the music.

Clarke was at least a half an hour into dancing before she decided to call it quits. Dancing was tiring her out she's not fit out for this as she thought she was. Clarke was just about to walk back over to her table until a pair of hands around her waist pulled her back. Clarke smiled thinking it was Lexa finally joining her on the dance floor. Clarke grounded her ass onto the persons front. Letting the music take her away. "Took you long enough" Clarke yelled over the music.

"Were you expecting me Clarke" Clarke immediately pulled away knowing it definitely wasn't Lexa before she could turn around she heard a loud thud. Clarke turned around to see the commotion and there Niylah was laying on the dance floor with blood leaking from her lips and a red faced bloody knuckled Lexa standing over the dirty blonde. She looked superior one would say. Before Lexa could finish the job Clarke quickly pulled Lexa away from the scene. She did not need anymore attention from the small crowd that was already staring. Clarke grabbed Lexa by the wrist and fled back to their table.

"We need to go now" Clarke said to Octavia and Lincoln who weren't paying attention. "Ahem we need to go!" Clarke yelled snapping them out of their moment.

"Why..." Octavia looked at Lexa and then down to her bruised hand. "Oh shit" Octavia stood. "Linc honey go find Raven and Anya and meet us back at the car" Lincoln nodded to his wife before signaling Gustus over. Lincoln left to go fetch the other two woman while Gustus made his way over.

"Gus we need to get out of here quick" he nodded at Clarke's orders and led them through a crowd of people. Once they were outside Gustus ran to go retrieve the car that was parked on the other side of the street. Lexa had not said a word yet. She was just staring and standing the only two things she could do. Clarke watched her wife carefully she couldn't quite decipher her emotions right now.

Gustus pulled up with the car. All three women started to get in the car. Clarke turned around at the sudden call of her name. It was Niylah with dried blood just below her lip. "Clarke" she says again and Lexa heard it this time and charged right over to her. Thankfully Raven and Anya were on there way out the club. Anya and Raven quickly stood between the raging brunette and the terrified dirty blonde with Lincoln standing in the back contemplating on what to do. Clarke walked over trying to get Lexa's attention. Lexa was too busy watching Niylah with killer eyes.

"Hey, look at me" Clarke said softly. Lexa slightly shifted her eyes from Niylah to Clarke. Clarke cupped Lexa's cheeks and tried again. "Please look at me" Lexa fully turned her head towards Clarke. "I'm yours" Clarke simply said. Nothing would ever change the love she had for Lexa. Not even some dirty blonde could take Clarke away from the person she never stopped loving. Lexa nodded and Clarke leaned in to peck her on the lips. Clarke turned her attention to Raven and Anya signaling them to take Lexa back to the car. They understand and grab Lexa carefully yanking her in the opposite direction. With a still very confused Lincoln following them.

Clarke was now standing in front of Niylah after making sure Lexa was securely in the car. "What we had is over Niylah you have to stop this" Clarke said sternly. Niylah was nothing more than a coping mechanism if she knew the woman didn't already know this then she would have ended things immediately.

"I can't Clarke I can't just forget" Niylah was starting to inch close to Clarke "I saw you in the club and I knew it was you I could never forget a face like that. The black hair threw me off but I knew it was the woman that I made love with" Niylah was inches away from Clarke's personal space. "I knew it was the woman I fell for" Niylah was now impossibly closer. "I'm in love with Clarke I know I could never be her" Niylah gestured towards the car Lexa was sitting in. "But I could be something better" Niylah grabbed Clarke's hands in hers.

Clarke almost got lost in the moment almost because somewhere along the lines she broke Niylah's heart not intentionally not on purpose but because her heart belong to someone else. "We didn't make love Niylah we had sex, you didn't fall in love with me I was just there at the time. Now I'm not you have to let this go" Clarke sighed seeing the tears starting to form in Niylah's eyes. "Find someone who loves you for you. That person just isn't me. Take care of yourself" Clarke slowly reached her hand up to rub Niylah's cheek with her thumb. "Maybe one day we can be friends and laugh about this but for now this is goodbye." Clarke turned and walked off leaving a teary eyed Niylah on the side walk.

"Gustus could you escort Lexa inside to our room for me please" Clarke asked as the black SUV pulled up to the opening of the White House. "Yes Madame President" Gustus exited the car with Lexa, giving Lincoln the chance to take the drivers seat.

"Are you two going to be okay?" Octavia asked gesturing to Clarke and Lexa, who just left the car nearly two minutes ago.

"I think so" Clarke sighs. "She probably going to sleep and hopefully I'll be gone to start my duties before she wakes up in the morning" Clarke pulls the black wig from head and runs her fingers through her hair.

"You two have to talk about this Clarke" Raven added.

"I know just not tonight" Clarke frowns deeply "Lexa deserves to know the truth about Niylah but I don't know how she'll take it."

"You've been sleeping with that woman for over a month before Lexa came back. She should understand that you were trying to move on that you didn't know she would be back in your life so soon" Anya says. She can't be biased Clarke was a very good friend to her and Lexa was her little sister. They should both figure this out together.

"Yeah I guess you're ri..." Clarke suddenly picked up on what Anya said. "What do you mean by in my life so soon?" Lexa was dead as far as everyone knew. So how could Anya possibly know that Lexa would be back in her life at all, unless...

"You knew" Clarke was no longer sad she was enraged.

AN: Lexa's jealously got the best of her and almost got their cover blown...damn Lexa. There's more of Niylah she is in love after all :))) oh and Anya accidentally slips out that she knew Lexa was alive this whole time. Wow Anya you played yourself.
