Always and Forever

Chapter 15: Thanksgiving

LEXA POV
It's thanksgiving in America. I haven't had an American Thanksgiving yet, this would be the first. My parents and I was kindly invited by the Griffins for thanksgiving. Clarke said that every holidays, the whole deliquent family gathers together. And since I'm part of their family, I get invited too with my parents.

I help out my mom and dad in preparing some kind of dessert since we insisted on bringing something. After that, we head to Clarke's place.

Clarke: Princess, you're here! Hello Mr. and Mrs. Woodson. Happy Thanksgiving!

Becca: Happy Thanksgiving to you too, Clarke. And please call us Becca and Gustus.

I go and hug Clarke. She leads us to the living room and Clarke helps my dad in bringing in the dessert.

Clarke: Becca, Gustus, these are the rest of the deliquent family

Clarke started introducing each one of them and I see my parents overwhelmed reaction. I was in the same position as them when I first met the deliquents, imagine meeting their parents as well as their relatives. I whisper to them.

Me: They are all nice mom and dad no worries.

They just smile at me and nod. I see Clarke calling for me and I asked if my parents are okay for me to leave. They nod

Me: Hey Clarkieee.

Clarke: Gosh, i hate you now. Pls leave.

I fake leave. And she pulls me back and frowns.

Clarke: you really were going to leave?

Me: you said you hate me so i left

I see her sigh deep and look down. She's so cute. I pull her chin up and laughed. She glared at me and punch me lightly in the arm

Clarke: i thought you were really going to leave!

Me: Haha never, crybaby

Clarke: take that back!

Both of us were running around the hallways and trying to tickle each other til one of us accept defeat. But Clarke is stronger than me.

Me: Clarke n-no., stop it. Pls sorry. I-i give up!!

Clarke: Now who's the crybaby now?

Clarke stands tall and puts her hands up. She bows like a queen. I just laugh at her goofness.

CLARKE POV
After my birthday a few weeks ago, i told Lexa i like her. I waited for a response from her. But instead, I heard faint snores. I smile at her. I made sure she is comfortable, i pulled the blanket over us. When I layed down, she pulled me closer to her and draped her arms and legs over mine. I blushed. I move a strand of her hair to see her face. She's so peaceful. I went to sleep thinking how lucky I am to call her my friend. She's perfect.

It's Thanksgiving. I impatiently wait for Lexa and her family to arrive. It would be her first time celebrating an American Thanksgiving. Do they have it in Austrillia? I think they do, bht different date.

Raven: Chill, Griff. They will come. She can't get enough from you.

I nudge Raven and she just laugh. but she's right. They will come, I hope. Since my birthday, Lexa and I have been closer than before. It's all good even if she didn't hear me cinfess my feelings, I am happy. It's just that, it's harder now that I accepted my feelings towards her because everytime she does something nice, which is everytime, i fall for her deeper. And she's just perfect, her smile, her laugh, her eyes. 'Control, Clarke, Control. Just be there for her. Don't need to push her into liking you. Being friends is enough' i say to myself. Next thing I know, the doorbell is ringing. I ran towards the door and I see Lexa, smiling at me.
