Deception (Clexa)

38

The slumber party ended in a disaster. The pillows and blankets were folded and put back into their respective places. The Oval Office was back to being just an office. The containers of ice cream that were left on the lawn were now disposed and the spoons were washed and put back into the kitchen drawers. It was as if the sleepover never happened. Everyone was back to business as usual.

After the sun had come up Clarke sought out to find Lexa to talk to her again but once she had reached their room Lexa was fast asleep. Instead of bothering her Clarke took a shower got dressed and ready for her day. It was now two o'clock in the afternoon Lexa had already left for work and Clarke was still in meetings for most of the day entirely exhausted. The two have not seen each other since.

As for Raven and Anya things seemed to be okay with the two of them. They still had a lot to work out but they thought being apart wouldn't do them any good. So here they are in their front yard watching the movers move everything that belonged to Raven back into their home for good. Anya was certain that she would do everything in her power to never lose her wife ever again.

Lexa walked into her firm going straight into her office closing the door. She took off her coat laid it on the back of her chair and sat down at her desk putting her head in her hands. She woke up with a headache and it's been killing her.

There was a knock on her door and at first she ignored it but then came two over knocks and that did it for her. She got up from her desk walked to the door and swung it open "What?!" Lexa shouted getting everyones attention who was in the hall. Wells took a step back. "Woah I take it last night didn't go so well?"
Lexa didn't say anything she just went back to her desk. Wells steps inside and closes the door behind him. "Are you okay? You don't look so well..." Lexa looks at him and then lays her head on the desk. "I have a headache is all. It could be from the lack of sleep I have had." Lexa mumbles too tired to say anything else.

"You could just go back home Lexa. There's really nothing on the agenda today and if something does come up I'm sure we can handle it." Wells just smiles at his boss that didn't look very powerful today. Lexa lifts her head up from the desk and looks at him again. "Home is where Clarke is." Lexa sits back in her chair and sighs. "You say that like its a problem. Why is that?" Wells ask.

"Nothing" Lexa gets up from her chair and grabs her coat. "I just need some rest. I'll see you tomorrow." Wells nods and watches a very gloomy Lexa leave her office.

Lexa ended up at Titus door. She could have went to her sisters but she knew Anya was still mending things with her wife and she didn't want to be intrusive. Lexa knocked on the door and smiled when she saw a bald headed man open the door. Lexa greeted him with a smile and a formal nod. Titus didn't wear to many emotions but Lexa could always tell when he's surprised. "And what do I owe the pleasure of having the great Alexandria Woods at my door? Lexa rolls her eyes and pushes past him. "I need a place to nap" Lexa heads straight for his couch and lays down. "Don't you have your own bed to do that in. Are you and Clarke fighting again? I can't keep up with you two?" Titus shakes his head. "I'll tell you all about it when I have had at least 2 hours of sleep." Lexa turns over and closes her eyes. "Fine. I'll be out for a while help yourself to anything." Titus grabs his keys and leaves a very tired Lexa to sleep.

Back at the White House Clarke was finally free from her meetings. She took off her extremely painful heels and practically hugged her bed. She had not slept the whole day and she's exhausted. It was six in the afternoon and Clarke still hadn't heard anything from Lexa. She shouldn't be worried because she knew Lexa was purposely avoiding her but she also knew she missed her wife and it hadn't been 24 hours since she last saw her but why did she still feel the need to just know that she's okay. Clarke sat up on her headboard and reached for her phone dialing the one person Lexa always goes to when she's in her head.

"Hello Clarke. Did you finally come to your senses after last night?" Clarke could feel Anya's smug tone through the phone.

Clarke chose to ignore her comment. "Have you talk to Lexa today? How is she doing?"

"I don't know Clarke shouldn't you know how she's doing?" Clarke could hear someone talking in the background and she immediately recognized the voice as Raven.

"No, she hasn't been around today and I called her office earlier and Harper told me she took the day off so I assumed that she was with you." Clarke's tone turned into sorrow. "I guess I got it wrong. I'm sorry for bothering you."

"Clarke wait I -" Clarke hung up the phone before Anya could finish her sentence. She knows she screwed up last night but that doesn't give everyone the right to be pissy at her. Clarke got out of bed and went to the bathroom to shower. After showering and putting on her pajamas she checked her phone for any messages.

From Titus: meet at my house tonight I think I might have the best solution to our Jaha problem.

Clarke huffed and grabbed her coat from her wardrobe and putting on her slippers. It looks like she won't be getting any sleep after all.
