My Green Eyed Drummer

Chapter 55

I wake to the horrid alarm. I look at Lexa's phone and turn off the alarm. It is 6:30 in the morning.

"Babe. Why do you have an alarm for 6:30 in the morning." Lexa groans and gets out of bed.

"I have to go with my dad to look at the house and help with the lay out. It's going to be a long morning but he said he only wants it to be us. And no one else. So go back to bed." She says as she puts a new shirt on and changes her shorts. She doesn't care that I'm watching. Neither do I care.

She walks over and kisses my head. I catch her lips in mine and blush as she kisses me back. I run my hands into her hair. She puts her arms on either side of me. I pull her down so that she is on top of me. She moves her kisses from my mouth down to my neck. Before we could get any farther there is a knock at the door. It was light. Lexa jumps off of me.

She kisses my head one more time and walks out the door to her dad.

Lexa's POV

I walk out of my room and meet my dad in the hallway. He smiles at me. "You ready." I nod.

We walk out to his car and get in the back. Randy the butler gets in the front and starts driving.

Henry and I are silent for a few minutes. I know Clarke is still sleeping and she puts do not disturb on at night so no one will wake her. I pull out my phone and leave her some messages for when she wakes up.

Lexa🥁- Hey you, I love you

Lexa🥁- just thought you should know that

Lexa🥁- im crazy for you

Lexa🥁- don't miss me too much

I smile down at my phone which catches my dads attention. "Who are you texting?" He asks raising an eyebrow.

"Clarke. I am leaving her messages for when she wakes up." I see trying to hide my grin.

"I'm glad you found her. It does make me a little uncomfortable... however... I'm happy you are happy." He says with a nod.

"Thanks Henry." He frowns at the name.

"So do you know if Luna is seeing a cute boy?" Henry asks and I choke on the air.

"Um no. No she isn't seeing anyone." I say and he nods.

"This is going to be your senior year and I don't want to mess this up." He mummers.

"Henry. You already messed up. You took shots a Clarke. That's where you messed up." I say and Randy pulls into Starbucks. How straight does this guy think I am. Or unhealthy.

We walk in and he tells me to order first. "Um. I'll just have a plain black coffee. Thanks." I say and I walk over to the waiting area.

Henry ordered and walked over to me. "Really that's it? Plain coffee. I thought girls had hard complicated orders."

I laugh. "Dad. I'm a lesbian tomboy that cares more about my heath then my hair. I don't care what I'm drinking as long as it keeps me awake and doesn't have that much sugar." I say laughing.

We get our coffees and go to the car. Randy starts driving us to the construction site. When we get there we meet the boss man whatever they are called.

"Hello Mr. Woods. I'm Fred Andrews and I'm the guy that's building this house for you. If you would like to take a look around go ahead. We can meet back out here to talk business." This man says coming up to my dad and shaking his hand. He comes over and shakes my hand too. "Strong hand shake. You a builder?"

"No a drummer. You get the same calluses." I answer and he looks impressed.

"My son is a musician. Maybe some time you guys could. What does he call it. Jam out together." He says putting his hands on his waist. I nod.

"Maybe." I answer following Henry into our house. We walk around for a little bit. Until my dad is satisfied and we go out to where Fred said he would be.

"How do you like it Mr. Woods. We got the outline done. It should be all done and ready for paint in about 5 days. Maybe a week." He says estimating.

"Sounds good to me." Hanry says as he shakes hands with Fred again and gets in the car. I follow his actions.

"Henry why did you need me here?" I ask a little annoyed to have to get out of bed so early just to do nothing. He ruined my moment with Clarke for nothing.

"Because Alexandra. I need to show you something." He nods at Randy and we take off.

After about half an hour of driving me make it to this beautiful spot on the beach. We walk out near the water and Henry stops.

"Right here." He says.

I give him a strange look.

"Right here is where I asked your mother to marry me for the first time. Right here. Is where I asked her the second time. Lexa I'm head over heals for your mother. Trust me when us Woods are in love. We would do anything to protect that person. That person we love. Lexa I know that you think I am using her. I know you think I don't lover her but I do. Lexa not only and I marrying into her life but I'm marrying into ours. And Luna's. And Aden's. You have protected this family for me while I was off running. So now I am asking for your blessing to please. Please Lexa. Trust me." He ends with water in his eyes. I nod my head.

"I grew up with out you. Luna grew up with out you. I learned how to ride a bike with out you. I learned music without you. I learned who I was without you. I am who I am today with out you Henry." I pause and gather my thoughts. "When you came back I was scared. I was scared for Aden. For Clarke. For Luna. For Mom. I didn't trust you. You hurt me. Physically and Mentally. But you have come to show me that you only did it cause you were afraid of me. Of me. And you know how good that felt. From going to scared to strong. It felt good. You showed me a different person. You showed me someone I can trust. So right now Henry. Yes. I trust you. But the minute you ever think about hurting someone in this family I will throw you out on the road. You hear me?" I ask. A tear roles down his face.

"Loud and clear." He says and I nod. I look around.

"Nice choice of setting." I say and I get in the front seat of the car with Randy. Henry gets in the back and the ride home was silent I look at my phone and see that I have three messages.

Clarke🦝- ❤️

Clarke🦝- come home soon ❤️

I answer.

Lexa🥁- 30 mins

Then I look at my last message.

Luna💧- bring back food

I sigh. I return back to Clarke's messages.

Lexa🥁- make that 45

I love my family.
