"Oh hey, she's cute!" Raven said, leaning over Clarke's shoulder and grabbing the cell phone out of her hands.
"Give me my phone back." Clarke lunged towards her, making a grab for the phone.
"Swipe right, swipe left, swipe left," Raven jumped to the side, narrowly avoiding Clarke who was now chasing after her wielding two pillows, and trying to lob them at Raven's head.
"What's the point in even using Tinder if you're never going to swipe right for anyone?!" Raven muttered exasperatedly.
"I don't know, I like seeing who's on there…"
"Are you sure you're not just searching for me on there? I mean, if you really wanna date me, all you have to do is ask." Raven winked and continued swiping profiles on the dating app.
"Get over yourself. If I wanted you, I could have you in an instant."
Raven scoffed but didn't say anything further and relented to give a panting Clarke her phone back.
"Maybe you should come on a run with me tomorrow, sounds like you need to get back in shape Griff."
"Oh screw you Raven, I'm not that unfit!" Clarke lifted up her shirt and stared at her stomach, "Am I?"
"Oh shut up, you know you have a great body, you're toned as fuck from yoga but you have no stamina. I just chased you around the room for five minutes and you're this out of breath. You never used to be this bad!"
"Well we can't all be perfect like you can we?" Clarke rolled her eyes.
"Alas, my rare combination of a killer body, IQ level of a young Albert Einstein, quick wit and skill in the bedroom is why I am the perfect specimen and New York's most eligible bachelorette." Raven winked.
"Modest too, oh just marry me now !" Clarke deadpanned.
"Just calling it how it is," Raven smirked, "Anyway, seriously Clarke, how do you last in bed if your stamina is this bad?"
"I am perfectly fine, thank you very much."
"Really?" Raven mused, "When was the last time you even had sex?"
Clarke huffed and stared down at the carpet, which had suddenly was the most interesting thing in the room. Clarke's obvious discomfort and deflection left Raven grinning gleefully across the sofa from her.
"A month? Two months?" Clarke remained silent and Raven's grin grew furthermore, "6 months?"
Clarke's further silence gave way to Raven's cackling laughter. "Oh come on, longer than six months? What about that guy at that bar you used to work at? What was his name, Fred? Flynn? I thought you went out with him for a while?"
"Finn? No I wasn't feeling it…Every time we got close to sleeping together I got a weird vibe off him. I can't explain it, but he just seemed like kind of a douchebag."
"Fair enough, he looked like a man child anyway. But you must be horny? Didn't you just want to sleep with him to satisfy your needs?"
"I'm not that desperate!" Clarke said exasperated
"So how long has it been?"
"….A little over a year."
"Oh lord okay, so back to tinder, let's get you laid Griff." Raven paused, smirking still, "Wait, are you going for the whole born again virgin thing? Cos I'm totally down with that, no judgement here, in fact I have to say it's kinda hot." She wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
"Oh shut up, it's just no one's come along that I want to be with. Besides, I'm perfectly happy to go without sex, not everyone is as sex crazed as you are."
"Firstly, I'm not sex crazed, I enjoy sex it's a healthy and normal thing adults do- except apparently you." She paused to roll her eyes once more, " Besides, It's not just about sex Clarke, who knows who you could meet- the love of your life could be one right swipe away!" Raven laughed, "So come on, how about you swipe right to the first person you like the look of, give it a chance and do it for the inner romantic in me, pretty please?"
"Fine." Clarke said rolling her eyes for dramatic measure.
"And, if you match with them, you have to make an effort to start a conversation and speak to them okay?"
Clarke opened the app up and the first profile popped onto her screen- it was a man who said he was 20 but looked about 45, she swiped left. Next, a girl with a crazy face tattoo, she swiped left again. A guy who's bio was 'fuck bitches get money'- nope, swipe left- a handsome guy who, while pleasing to the eyes looked boring as fuck.
Clarke looked up at Raven in exasperation, how many hopeless people would pop up before she found someone remotely her type? Raven urged her to continue, stating that if she stopped now she would have broken her promise and would have to be her servant for the day. Clarke sighed but nevertheless continued and a cute girl called Sam came up next and seeing no obvious faults she swiped right for the first time and got an immediate match.
"Way to go Griffin! You're not as hopeless as you look after all. Now what are you going to say to her?"
"Hmm…I don't know, maybe I'll start with 'hi' and introduce myself like a normal person?" Clarke said sarcastically.
"Oh I take it back, you are hopeless. You have to start with something catchy like say a random fact about yourself or come up with a cheesy pick up line."
"I am not doing that, pick up lines are the absolute WORST." Clarke laughed.
However, before they could reply a message popped up on her screen from Sam.
'Hey gorgeous, it say's you're bi in your bio, would you be interested in having a threesome with me and my boyfriend?'
Clarke and Raven both groaned simultaneously and unmatched the girl, not before Raven suggesting that maybe she should take the girl up on her offer, seeming as it had been a year since she had sex. Why was it that girls on Tinder were always looking for threesomes? Clarke sighed and switched her phone off in defeat.
"Right I've tried Tinder, now that hasn't worked, what are we doing today?"
"Nope we're going to keep going until we find someone even remotely possible for you."
With some convincing, Clarke opened her phone once again. After several more left swipes and one right swipe with no match yet, they found the profile of another girl who had a lovely smile and jet black hair.
"Oh what about her?" Raven said, leaning over the phone.
"Oh yeah she's hot," Clarke agreed, about to swipe right when she noticed something, "Oh no wait she called Clark. I can't date someone with the same name as me, that's too weird."
"It's only weird if you make it weird." Raven sighed.
"Raven, I'm bored now, I'll look at five more profiles and then I'm deleting this app once and for all."
Profile 1: swiped left, profile 2: left again, profile 3: pause, left again, profile 4: left again. And then up came profile five and Clarke was left speechless. In front of her was the most striking girl she had ever seen, piercing green eyes accentuated with perfect winged eyeliner, other than that she had minimal make up on and large pouty lips, pulled back into a curious smile. Clarke was drawn back to the girls eyes, they were compelling and assertive, everything about her made Clarke want to know her.
"Oh my, oh my, I think we've found the one. Hellloooo Commander Gorgeous from the planet green eyes." Raven whistled.
"Lexa." Clarke whispered as she finally swiped right, hoping for the first time since downloading the app that it would be a match.
Lexa stared at her phone. What was worse, never knowing or living in hope that someone that beautiful thought the same about you? It had been two days now and Lexa hadn't swiped left or right for anyone. She couldn't decide what to do for this profile 'Clarke', the name just rolled off her tongue, she kept repeating it over and over in her mind. She was one of the most beautiful girls she had ever seen, so beautiful in fact that it was setting off alarm bells for Lexa.
What if it was a fake profile? It could be some creepy old man trying to catfish her. That had happened to her once before and when she went to meet the girl, it was this bald man called Titus, who had said he was in love with her. He had then tried to convince her that being a lesbian was a delusion and she just hadn't had the right man yet. She fixed that with a right hook to his face and promptly reported him to the police. It turns out he had been doing this with multiple profiles and even with girls as young as 16 so he was arrested.
What if this 'Clarke' simply didn't like her back? The girl was way out of her league after all. Maybe it would be better just to swipe left to avoid getting her hopes up. Hope breeds eternal misery, after all. And there were the other things, what if she was just experimenting and not actually into girls, or what if she just wanted a threesome with her and her gross boyfriend.
Lexa knew she was being pathetic, but she couldn't bring herself to swipe either way. Partly because she wanted to look at the blonde's pictures a while longer. She was 21, blonde, beautiful and Lexa, with her great interest in Greek Mythology mused that Clarke had the bluest eyes that looked like they had been plucked straight from Poseidon himself. So here she was, sat helplessly starting at the blue eyed beauty on her phone, trying to figure out what she would do next.
"Why are you being so pathetic tonight?" Anya sighed.
"I have never been pathetic." Lexa growled, pocketing her phone and turning her attention towards her cousin.
"Then what do you explain your current behaviour?"
Lexa rolled her eyes and took a sip of her drink. She was meeting her cousin for their weekly drinks and Anya had immediately commented on her behaviour. It had been three days now and she still hadn't worked up the courage to swipe left or right. She got her phone out and opened the app once again to see the blonde's profile. After several moments staring at her phone, Anya cleared her throat and raised her eyebrow at her questionably.
"Okay, so there's this girl…"
"Go on."
"On Tinder, and Anya she is the most beautiful girl I think i've ever seen. Too good to be true, and I know it's just Tinder but I don't know what to do. After the whole Titus situation I don't want to go through that again, or what if she just wants me to have sex with her or her boyfriend? What if she doesn't swipe me back?"
"Wow, and every time I think you can't possibly get more pathetic, you open your mouth and there it is. Congratulations, you are now the most pathetic person in New York!" Anya deadpanned.
"The Lexa I know wouldn't think twice about this, you would have swiped right immediately, matched and taken her out by now- especially if she's as beautiful as you say she is. Show me what she looks like." Anya demanded, stretching out her arm for her cousin's phone.
Lexa handed her phone over and waited for her to say something. After a few minutes of staring Anya spoke.
"She is very pretty, exactly your type. Oh, and I've just swiped right for her on your behalf, and it's a match. You're welcome. Now stop being a bore and have a drink with me." Anya drawled.
And with that Anya passed a gawking Lexa back her phone which now flashed:
'CONGRATULATIONS IT'S A MATCH!'
