To Lexa: "Hey girl, I´m really sorry. I just got asked out by a guy that I have been into for months.. I said yes to him before I remembered our plans.. I swear I'm not an idiot, but can we take a rain check? My best friend says she would like to meet you tomorrow, and you two can go to the concert. Is that ok?"
From Lexa: "That's ok Raven, I totally get it ;) Congrats on the date. Tell your friend I would love to meet her. I'm always happy to make new friends. Just tell me when and where"
To Lexa: "Yay! 8 o'clock at the Grounders café on Lincoln Street. "
From Lexa: "Ok! How will I know who your friend is?"
To Lexa: " She's the blonde with the really hot ass! Haha. Just joking. Long blonde hair, black jacket, and I'll tell her to stand right next to the door. HAVE FUN "
Raven laughed and turned her phone around so that Clarke could read it. "Raven!" she said in disbelief, and pushed her friend gently. "You are so stupid! She's going to think I'm crazy!" "I wrote it, not you remember", Raven said, still laughing so hard.
From Lexa: "Ok, Tell Miss Hot Ass I look forward to seeing her :P What's her name, btw? "
To Lexa: "Clarke".
Clarke was outside the café about 15 minutes early. She walked around for a little bit, and then she turned to the wall to read the poster about tonight's show. It was not someone she was familiar with, but it was always cool to discover new music. Suddenly she felt someone poking her on her shoulder. She turned around, and looked into the greenest, deepest eyes she had ever seen. "Heeey"…. She said, and suddenly felt like she had lost the ability to talk. Her mouth went dry, and she felt like she was looking like an idiot. "Um. Clarke?", the green eyed girl asked, with a little smile on her lips. Clarke nodded, and tried to think of something to say. She reached her hand out, and said : "Nice to meet you Lexa", "Ready to go inside?" Lexa smiled, nodded, and said with a little smirk, barely loud enough for Clarke to hear: "Well, Raven wasn't lying.." "What?" Clarke could feel herself blushing, and the "Hot ass" comment came to mind. Lexa just had a little laugh under her breath and said:" Come on, lets get inside".
All of a sudden Clarke knew why she had been feeling empty. All of a sudden, she believed in love at first sight.
After a couple of amazing hours inside the café, Lexa and Clarke was walking down the street. "Thanks for meeting me", Lexa said. "It was a good concert". "Mhm", Clarke nodded, thinking that she had barely heard the music, she had been to busy trying to calm her racing heart. Sitting right next to this amazing woman, had almost been too much for her. "Hungry?" Lexas question brought Clarke back to reality. "Yeah, I know this great place I want to show you, if you like Mexican food?" said Clarke. Lexa laughed, "I like any food, I'm not picky. When it comes to food that is", she said with a little smirk. Clarke blushed even at that remark, and told herself "Oh my god Clarke, get yourself together. Lexa is straight. And if she wasn't she probably would not be into you. " Clarke still couldn't stop gazing at Lexa, but she tried to pull herself together, so that Lexa wouldn't think she was totally crazy. They arrived at the restaurant, and Clarke opened the door for Lexa. "Thanks", Lexa smiled. Clarke looked at Lexa with a very serious face: " Well, I thought you better walk in front of me, so you didn´t get tempted to look at this hot ass". She couldn´t keep serious anymore, and started laughing, Lexa just flashed a smile, and said:" Are you sure it´s not just an excuse to get a look at MY hot ass?" "Enough about our hot asses, let´s get a table", Clarke grinned. "Agreed!" Lexa said, and walked into the restaurant. Clarke couldn´t believe how natural it felt to joke around with this woman. She hoped that they could at least become good friends, and hopefully these feelings would go away with time.
