´"One day you will understand why it didn´t work out with anyone else"
Clarke had always felt that something was missing from her life, but she could never really explain what it was. She had been in a couple of long term relationships, but they had all ended when they became too serious. The thought of being proposed to, freaked her out, and it never felt right. Being 25 years old, she had her life pretty together. Stable job, she was sharing a nice apartment with her best friend Raven, and had a good relationship with her friends and family. But, lately, she had started to feel empty. She couldn't recognize why this feeling all of a sudden felt so strong, and she was doing her best to take her mind of it.
It was Saturday night and Raven had just come back from the store. "Got us dinner! Burgers!", she said smiling. "Did you figure out what movie you want to see?". Clarke nodded. Raven took a look at the DVD cover. Then she laughed. "Wow, really Clarke? A romantic movie!? You hate those. Are you trying to seduce me?", she said with a cheeky grin. "Yeah right, I was just.. I don't know. In a romantic mode I guess. I have been single for a while now, ok? Let me at least have some romance on the screen" They both laughed, and started cooking together, having fun like they always did.
After the movie, they were sitting on the couch talking, and Raven started to talk about a new girl at her job. "She just moved here from NY, and she is really cool. I told her I would meet her someday after work, she doesn't know anyone here". "That's nice of you", Clarke stated. Then she didn't think more about that, and the friends continued talking. Now, the subject was this guy Raven was head over heels for. "I swear, Raven, if nothing happens between you two, I'm going to ask him out for you soon", Clarke said while rolling her eyes. "I mean, you have been falling for this guy for months now". "It's not that easy.. you know.." Raven said, while looking down. Raven had had her heart broken by her long-term boyfriend Finn , and after that she didn't really trust any guys, "Come on Raven, not all guys are idiots" Raven blushed, and Clarke knew it was time to talk about something else. The breakup had been so bad, Clarke had never seen anything like it. They continued their conversation for the next couple of hours, then went into their separate bedrooms. "Good night, C", Raven said yawning. "Good night Rae", Clarke said while closing her door.
A few nights later, Clarke was laying on the couch , watching some old Friends episodes. They made her laugh just as much every time. She had been out with her friend Octavia all day, so it felt good to just relax for a while. Then suddenly Raven came practically jumping through the door. "OH MY FUCKING GOD CLARKE ! HE ASKED ME OUT! HE! ASKED! ME! OUT!" She was dancing around the room, looking like a 14 year old with a crush. It was cute, and Clarke smiled. "YAY!" Clarke got up, hugged her best friend, and said " I´m so happy for you". Ravens smile seemed to be glued on, she could not stop. "Oh, what am I gonna wear?" She ran into her bedroom. Clarke came after her, laughing. "Relax, it´s not today ,right?" Raven shook her head. "Tomorrow", she said with practically hearts in her eyes. "You always look good, so don't stress", Clarke was holding one of Ravens dresses, and said "What about this one?" A message sound went of on Ravens phone, and she checked it so fast, maybe it was HIM? "No! Crap! I forgot" Raven said. "What?" Clarke didn't understand anything. "What?" Raven looked up from her phone; "I have plans with the girl from work tomorrow. She just texted me and asked me where to meet up. " "Just cancel, explain to her what happened, she will understand", Clarke said. "You have to go on this date!" Raven nodded. "But I have concert tickets for us, this really cool little band is playing, she was dying to see them." Then it looked like Raven had a revelation. "You can go to the concert instead of me! She is really cool, I'm sure you will become friends". "I don't know Raven.." Clarke wasn't so keen on the idea. "Why not? Have something better to do? Watch friends?" Raven said with her playful smile. "Haha, funny! Ok, I'll go. I guess it won't be too bad" .
"Yes! Cool! I will text Lexa right now!".
