''Yeah can't wait to see you as well. It's been a while. I'll see you on Saturday'' Lexa said to Clarke before hanging up the phone.
Lexa stood behind the bar and saw her aunt looking at her with a curious face.
''Who was that?'' Lexas aunt asked.
''That was Clarke. She's coming over for the weekend. It's her mothers birthday this Saturday and I promised her to visit her parents with her'' Lexa said with a smile before pouring in a glass of wine for her aunt.
''She's a nice girl. I met her once a few years back. How are you guys doing with this whole distance thing?'' Indra asked.
''To be honest? It's been hard. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her but I wish she would've stayed here. I know it's not fair of me to say that but it's been I've been dating a cellphone'' Lexa admitted before sitting next to Indra. Indra wasn't her real aunt but Lexa had known her since she was little so she didn't know any better than to call Indra her aunt.
''I'm sure you two will figure things out'' Indra said with a smile before drinking away her wine.
''You're in a hurry'' Lexa noted.
''Yeah sorry, gotta go. I'll see you Saturday, alright?'' Indra asked with a smile.
''Alright'' Lexa sat before walking her aunt out. ''Thank you for visiting'' Lexa said before pulling Indra in for a hug.
''It was my pleasure. Say hi to Clarke from me'' Indra said before saying goodbye to Lexa and leaving her behind.
Lexa closed the bar behind her and drove home. She hired a small appartment at the other side of town. It's been her home now for over two years. Clarke visited the place often and she had built a small art gallery for Clarke inside the spare room. Lexa opened the door and threw her keys on the table before she walked over to her kitchen and grabbed some leftovers from it.
''Great. It's not much but it's something'' Lexa thought in herself before sitting down on the couch to finish her dinner. She had to go back to the bar in a few hours to open it for the evening.
Lexa was about to take another bite when her phone buzzed. Lexa opened her phone to see a new notification on her facebook ''Costia Ground wants to add you as a friend''. Lexa ignored the notification and threw her phone aside before finishing her diner.
After that Lexa grabbed her phone again and looked at the friend request from her ex-girlfriend again. She decided to find out what Costia wanted from her. So Lexa pressed ''accept''.
Lexa opened her facebook messenger to see a message from Costia right away.
Costia: ''Hey Lexa. I stumbled upon your facebook account and I wondered how you were doing. So yeah, message me if you feel like it. Hope to hear from you xx Cos''
Lexa read the message but didn't reply to it because she didn't want to get into her past. It was her past for a reason.
…
9.00 AM, Saturday.
It was time for Lexa to pick up Clarke from the airport and she had been exciting to see her girlfriend. It had been over a month since they last saw each other and Lexa enjoyed this moments even more now. She had been wanting to tell Clarke something for over a while now but couldn't do it before because she wanted to tell her in person.
Lexa drove over to the entrance of the airport and waited for Clarke to arrive. This could be any second now because Clarkes plane landed about 20 minutes ago. Lexa knew exactly how late Clarke would be outside. She was right because Clarke walked out the door a few seconds later.
Lexa opened the door and walked over to Clarke to greet her ''Hey, you'' Lexa said teasingly.
''Lexie'' Clarke said with a smile before pulling Lexa in for a hug, not caring that she dropped her bag on the ground. She held Lexa close to her and embraced the warmth of the hug.
Lexa pulled away after a few seconds to look at her girlfriend ''Let me take that for you'' Lexa said before taking the bags to her car.
''Thank you'' Clarke said with a smile before sitting down in the passengers seat.
Lexa put Clarkes lugage in the trunk before getting in the car. Lexa started the car and was about to drive away when Clarke stopped her.
Clarke climbed on top of Lexa and sat down on her lap. Clarke leaned in and kissed Lexa trailing up her neck before leaning in to kiss her on the lips. Lexa smiled and kissed Clarke back and pushed her a little to the back, making her lean against the styr. Clarke got pressed against the horn and a loud sound was heard what caught Clarke of guard making her fall on top of the side of her seat.
Lexa laughed at Clarke and couldn't get a breath. The sighed was way to funny. Clarke laughed as well before sitting down on her seat again ''Well, that was fun'' she said teasingly.
''Yeah'' Lexa said grinning before starting the car.
''So what did I miss over here?'' Clarke asked interested.
Lexa didn't know where to begin because Clarke had missed literally nothing. Well nothing important anyway ''Not much'' Lexa said while focusing on the road.
''Seriously? Like nothing?'' Clarke asked.
''Yep'' Lexa stated.
''You're not really in the talking mood'' Clarke said a bit annoyed before looking out the window. Not wanting to start a fight with Lexa.
…
10.30 AM, Saturday.
Clarke and Lexa walked up to the appartment before Lexa opened the door. Lexa put down Clarkes lugage and walked over before she plopped down on the couch. Her phone fell out of her pocket on the ground. Lexa didn't notice this so she turned on the tv and watched the news like she always did in the morning.
Clarke put her bag away before sitting next to Lexa. She noticed Lexas phone and grabbed it from the ground. The screen lit up to reveal another notification on the phone.
''Two new messages from Costia Ground''.
Clarke looked surprised at the phone before turning to Lexa trying to get her attention.
''What's the meaning of this?'' Clarke asked surprised.
Lexa turned to face Clarke and looked at the phone before answering Clarke ''Nothing, Clarke. Costia wanted to be friends on facebook so I accepted her invite. Nothing more than that. She messaged me but I didn't answer. So you can check them if you want'' Lexa said with the honesty hearable in her voice.
''Okay. I'm sorry if I overreacted. It's just, you know how I feel about her'' Clarke explained.
Lexa nodded at her girlfriend ''Yes. I do and that's why I didn't answer her'' Lexa said before putting her arm around Clarke.
Clarke smiled and leaned down with her head on Lexas shoulder. They both fell asleep like that on the couch.
…
15.00 PM, Saturday.
Lexa woke Clarke to get ready for dinner at her parents house. It was Abby her birthday and they still needed to buy a present.
''I have no clue what to buy for her'' Clarke said while pacing around the little appartment.
''It's okay. We''ll find something, Clarke'' Lexa said reassuring.
''If you say so'' Clarke said with a smile.
''Of course we will. But you need to get ready first'' Lexa said laughing at her girlfriend.
''Yea. You're right. Gimme a few minutes'' Clarke said before disappearing into the bedroom to get dressed.
Clarke appeared from behind the door a few minutes later. She was wearing a lot cut black dress that revealed her shape perfectly. Lexa was always stunned by the beauty of her girlfriend.
''How do I look?'' Clarke asked.
''You look beautiful'' Lexa said before walking over to Clarke.
Clarke smiled at her girlfriend ''As do you'' she said reassuring Lexa.
''You ready to go?'' Lexa asked.
''Yeah. Just need to find my necklace first'' Clarke said in a hurry before disappearing into the bathroom.
Lexa stopped Clarke just in time and handed her Clarke the necklace ''I already got it for you'' Lexa said with a smile.
Clarke took the necklace from Lexa and looked at it like it was her world. It was the necklace that Lexa got her two years ago. It was the symbol of the Commander and Clarke felt connected to it somehow. It made her feel safe, she didn't know why.
''I still love this necklace so much'' Clarke said before putting it on.
''It suits you perfectly. Speaking about the Symbol, I found another book in the library about the Grounders'' Lexa said with a smile.
