"You both can get one souvenir from here, anything else you have to buy on your own." Jake explained to the girls as they walked through the shop, waiting for their time to go snorkeling. Lexa and the rest of her family went on an ancient ruins tour that their Uncle Titus dragged them on, while the Blake's had an excursion set up around the forest covered mountain that towered over the island.

It was nice spending time with her mom and dad, given she was spending most of her time with her friends, and their new friends. Even though Raven was always in that group, having the girl with her family was a nice addition. Raven's mom died in a car accident that both girls were in. Raven was paralyzed in her left leg, and wasn't able to walk without the help of her brace, but the girl didn't let that get her down. She was exceptionally strong after the accident, and Clarke was proud of her for that. The girl's dad was never in the picture unless he needed money from her mom, so Clarke refused to let her go live with him after losing her mom. Her parents accepted Raven in a heartbeat and she has been living with the Griffin's ever since. Clarke can't picture her life without the girl by her side, same with Octavia.

The girls walked around as they eyed the products in the shop, looking for the perfect souvenir to take back to the ship. Clarke found a beautiful, silver turtle necklace with the name of the island, 'St. Lucia', carved on the back. It was the perfect item to remember the first island by. So she kept it close to give to her dad so he could buy it for her. Raven went with a simple red tank top with 'Property of St. Lucia' written over the circle of palm trees that rested on the stomach of the shirt. Jake bought the items for them and they walked across the street towards the boating dock.

They met their guide, who was a scrawny looking tanned guy name Giancarlo. He told them about the island and some of its local legends on their way to the snorkeling spot. Clarke wasn't going to lie, she didn't hear a word the man said, because her mind was elsewhere. Yes she was excited to go snorkeling, but she wanted to be with Lexa. The feeling the brunette gave Clarke was an odd one; she was definitely sexually attracted to the girl,that much she knew, but there was something else there that the blonde couldn't exactly put her finger on.

They arrived at the snorkeling destination and soon they were all in the water, swimming through the beautifully clear water, examining all the brightly colored coral reefs. It was absolutely breathtaking, and Clarke was sure to take a mental picture and draw it when she got back to the boat. They swam for what felt like hours, and when the adventure was over they went to lunch on the island, before they boarded the boat.

Back on the boat Clarke and Raven went back to their room to take a nap before dinner. Raven was out like a light as soon her head hit the pillow, and right as Clarke was at that happy place before she fell asleep there was a knock at the door. She reluctantly got up and trudged over to the door, and opened it to see those fierce green eyes staring at her.

"You're back." Lexa stated plainly.

"And very tired, what do you need?" Clarke said as she tried to rub the tiredness out of her eyes.

"I wanted to hear about your time on the island, but you can tell me tonight. I'm sorry to disrupt your nap, Clarke." Lexa turned to walk away.

"Wait," Lexa stopped, eyes never leaving Clarke's, "I could use a sleeping buddy." She quirked, trying to be flirty but it was clear just how tired she was.

"I'm not tired, Clarke. Plus I would just take up space in your bed." Clarke scoffed and grabbed Lexa's hand, pulling her into the room.

"I tend to sleep better when I'm in the arms of a pretty girl." Clarke smirked slyly as she sat on her bed, eliciting a similar smirk from Lexa. "C'mon, I missed you and I wanna cuddle."

"You missed me?" Clarke's eyes widened at the realization of what she just said. She didn't plan on saying that, it just slipped out. That seems to be a reoccurring problem for these girls. "What an honor it is to be missed by the Princess." Lexa jested as she bowed to Clarke.

"Get your ass in this bed."

"Is that how it went last time, Clarke? Did you get me into bed, or was it I who got you into bed?" Lexa's eyes narrowed seductively. She started crawling on the bed towards the blonde, and Clarke's mouth was dry. She couldn't even formulate any saliva to help the dryness. Clarke could not speak as she watched Lexa crawl over her, placing her hands on the side of the blondes head, leaning over her. "I'm pretty sure it was me, Clarke." Damn it. Why did Clarke always have to lose when it came to Lexa?

Clarke surged up to kiss the brunette, but Lexa pulled away with an amused grin on her face. She turned her head to look at Raven sleeping in the bed, then back to Clarke as she bit her bottom lip.

"You're a fucking tease." Clarke pouted.

"It's what I'm best at." Lexa shot Clarke a wink and the girl rolled her eyes. Clarke grabbed the girl's shirt in her fist and pulled her close, her lips just ghosting over Lexa's.

"Tonight, you are mine." Clarke whispered, then leaned up to press a rough kiss the Lexa's lips. She pulled away and threw the girl down to her left, curling up into her side as she hit the mattress.

"Why was Lexa in your room? I just saw her leave." Octavia asked as she barged through the door that conjoined the friends rooms. Raven awoke at the sound of her friend's entrance.

"I wanted to take a nap, she wanted to talk."

"So you guys just talked?"

"No we took a nap."

"Naturally." Octavia said sarcastically, rolling her eyes at her best friend. "So what's going on between you guys?"

"Nothing, really." Clarke shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh please I see the way you look at her, and the way she looks at you."

"Yeah Clarke, that girl looks at you like you're the only one in the room. I swear it's like that damn heart-eye emoji every time she sees you." Raven added as she stretched her body over her bed.

"She does not." Clarke argued. "What's going on with you and Lincoln?" Clarke accused, turning the conversation onto Octavia.

"We're taking it slower, unlike some people." She gestured her hand out to Clarke. "Lincoln's actually a really good guy. I don't wanna hump and dump, I think I could really like him."

"Awh O, that's actually really cute." Clarke told her friend earnestly.

"Don't try and change the subject Griffin. Are you guys a thing or something?"

"I don't know, O! We basically decided that we'd sleep together if we wanted to and make out and shit like that, but it's nothing more I don't think." Clarke was annoyed. She could feel it deep down, she knew she wanted it to be more, but she didn't know if the other girl did. "I think I'm starting to like her." She drawled out, her voice barely a whisper.

Both Raven and Octavia's faces lit up. Octavia screeched then let out a gasp, and Raven cheered from her bed.

"Griffin, this girl is totally head over heels for you. You got this in the bag if you want it." Raven cheered with a smile.

"Yeah, remember Clarke, you get all the babes. Lexa is like the hottest babe, like ever. You need to lock this shit down."

Clarke groaned and fell face first into her bed. Octavia and Raven looked at each other from across the room. They knew they would have to help out their friend, and they knew just the people to go to.

\\\

After dinner, Clarke found herself at the front of the boat again. She tried to clear her mind of the beautiful brunette that had been running it all day. How could she feel this way about someone after three days? I mean she slept with her in two, but now she was falling for the girl.

"Fancy meeting you here." She heard the familiar soft voice speak behind her. Clarke turned around, leaning her back against the railing to look into the eyes of Lexa. Even in the dark of the night all she saw was green.

Green green green.

"Did you come to 'not talk' again?" Clarke joked keeping her eyes locked on Lexa's as she crossed her arms over her chest. Wow this girl really made her heart race.

"No I came to see you. You weren't in your room, so I took a guess as to where you would be," she nodded her head at Clarke slowly smirking as she did, "and I was right."

"Haven't had enough of me yet have you?"

"Far from it," Lexa said sweetly as she leaned her hands on the railing, trapping Clarke between the open ocean and herself. They way Lexa smirked, the way she looked at Clarke, the way she spoke to her, made the blonde's heart skip. "If I remember correctly," Lexa took her right hand and curled a piece of Clarke's hair around her finger, "You made a demand earlier."

"And that was?"

Lexa smirked and leaned down to kiss Clarke's neck. She sucked at her pulse point and could hear the girl's breath hitch. She nipped at her neck sending shivers down Clarke's spine.

"Lexa." Clarke gasped her eyes rolling into the back of her head.

"Mhm, I love when you say my name." Lexa breathed against Clarke's neck and the blonde whimpered. It was possibly the hottest thing Lexa had heard. She brought her hands down to Clarke's ass and squeezed, pulling Clarke's hips forward. She took her lips off of Clarke's neck and surged in to kiss the blonde. Lexa did not hold back, she immediately pushed her tongue into Clarke's mouth and the blonde allowed it, moaning as she felt the brunettes tongue trace her gums behind her bottom lip. Clarke lost all control at the point. Lexa ran her fingers across the brim of Clarke's shorts, and even though they were in public, at the front of the boat, Clarke wanted this. Right here. Right now.

Lexa put her hand down Clarke's underwear, reveling in the feel of the girl's warmth and wetness on her hand. Clarke gasped as Lexa's hand touched her center, making Lexa groan at the sound.

"Someone's a little excited." Lexa ran her fingers in circles over Clarke's clit four times before she moved her fingers down to the girl's entrance. She teased some more as her middle finger stirred the wetness around. Lexa moved quickly sticking her middle finger into Clarke. The blonde held back her gasp, careful not to make too much noise. Lexa pressed her finger hard, reaching all the way to the top of Clarke's vulva. She worked fast, thrusting her finger in and out. She could feel Clarke wanting more as she gasped a moaned into Lexa's lips. So Lexa added a second finger and picked up the pace.

She thrusted in and out, Clarke's hips moving with the thrusts. Lexa was wet just from hearing Clarke's moans of enjoyment. Fucking a girl at the front of a cruise ship is probably the hottest thing Lexa has ever done, and she loved the feeling of it. The anxious feeling of it they'll get caught, and the want for more, nothing could be hotter than this. Clarke was so close, Lexa could feel her walls clenching around her fingers and Clarke was digging her nails into Lexa's shoulders for support. Almost. Almost.

"Lexa?" Both girls paused. Lexa detached her lips from Clarke's and stared her in the eyes. She slowly took her hand from Clarke's pants, not to make any sudden movements so that the person could see what they were up to. She brought her fingers up to her mouth, 'shh' she mouthed, then she put the fingers in her mouth and licked them clean. Clarke's eyes darkened as she glared at Lexa. She turned to see her brother slowly walking towards them.

"Lincoln." Lexa responded flatly, her frustration evident in her tone at the man's interruption.

"Hate to break-up your little make out party," Good, he didn't see anything. "But Titus is looking for you." Lexa groaned and rolled her eyes. She kept her hands tight on Clarke's hips, turning slightly to talk to her brother. Clarke kept her head down as she fiddled with the hem of Lexa's shirt, torn between ripping it off or keeping it on. She was really leaning towards ripping it off...

"What does he want?" Lexa demanded, clearly annoyed.

"Don't know... He just asked me to find you."

"Probably another lecture on my manners and social skills." Lexa grumbled, her voice barely audible. She turned to Clarke, "Can I come find you later?"

Clarke wanted to say yes. She wanted to finish where they left off, and ravage Lexa more than she did to her. But it was getting late, and Clarke knew they wouldn't have any place to be alone. Anywhere they went the girls would be caught.

"It's getting late Lexa, I should probably just go back to my room." Clarke responded hesitantly. She wanted Lexa, but the time wasn't right. It wouldn't work tonight.

"Clarke." The girl's voice dropped just above a whisper. Her voice was accusative and her eyes were looking at Clarke in a way that told her exactly what she wanted. Her eyes were almost black with need, and they were narrowed at the blonde. She wanted Clarke. Clarke shook her head.

"Not tonight Lex," she whispered so only Lexa could hear her. "We'd have no privacy." Lexa nodded understanding, but the look of frustration and annoyance was still evident on her face.

"I'll see you tomorrow then." She leaned in and pressed a firm kiss to Clarke's lips. They stood there, mouths moving against one another's, tongues teasing the others lips. They forgot that they still had company.

Lincoln cleared his throat, causing the girls to pull away. Lexa looked like she was ready to kill a bitch, her brother being that bitch. She turned around, sending a glare to her twin. She walked past him, bumping his shoulder as she did. Lincoln didn't roll his eyes or anything, he kept his line of sight straight, letting his sister push him aside.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt Clarke." He said quietly.

"You're fine, Lincoln. It's not a big deal." Clarke sent the large man a smile of reassurance. Lincoln nodded and turned around to leave, but as he turned his back something stopped him.

"I really don't want to be that brother," he said turning to face Clarke, "and I don't know what your intentions are with my sister, but be careful with Lexa. She's been hurt before and I don't want to see her that way again."

"I respect that Lincoln, but believe me, I have no intention of hurting your sister. I really like spending time with her."

"Yeah well no one really plans on hurting anyone, do they?" He added, tilting his head at Clarke.

"You may not want to be that brother, but I'm going to be that best friend. I don't know what your intentions are with Octavia, but if you hurt her, in any way shape or form, I will break your pretty little face. And I mean that in the nicest way possible Lincoln." Lincoln smiled bowing his head towards Clarke.

"Dually noted, Clarke. Be careful with Lexa, she may not look it, or act it, but she's fragile."

"Dually noted, Lincoln." With another smile at the blonde, Lincoln turned on his heel and marched off to his room.

"Anybody want a margarita?" Octavia asked as she approached her friends, carrying four margaritas in her hand. Raven took one almost immediately, the others kindly declined.

"More for us." Raven said, shrugging her shoulders.

Raven and Octavia were sitting with Lincoln, Anya and Echo at a table across from the tiki bar. Clarke was off drawing in the distance, her sketch book held tightly in her hand, Lexa was across the ship in the rec room, working out, Bellamy was probably off flirting with more girls, and Gustus, who knows where he could be.

"So," Raven said taking a sip from her margarita, "what's up with Blondie and Dr. House?"

"Dr. House?" Echo questioned, as all of them grew very confused.

"Yeah you know, that dude Gregory House, from the show House? Lacks social skills and is kind of rude?" Everyone laughed, she wasn't entirely wrong.

"Lexa hasn't said much, you know, social skills and all." Echo told them.

"Yeah she doesn't open up much." Anya added.

"She likes her." Lincoln said.

"What?!" Everyone turned their heads towards Lincoln so fast, they almost gave themselves whiplash.

"She hasn't said anything to me, but I can tell. I've seen how she acts when she's with the person she has feelings for, she's acting that way with Clarke." He told them. "I think she's scared to admit it to herself though, so she's using sex as an excuse to rationalize her feelings. Telling herself that it's just sex and nothing more. But it's not, I can see right through her."

"Lincoln, do you think you can talk to her about it? Would she open up to you?" Octavia asked, placing a hand on Lincoln's arm. "Because Clarke actually likes Lexa, she told us yesterday."

"She won't open up, she shut herself down after what happened last time." Lincoln told them.

"What happened last time?" Raven asked, grabbing her second margarita from the middle of the table. All three of them: Lincoln, Anya, and Echo, all went silent. They eyed each other anxiously as silence fell around the table.

"It's not our place to tell." Echo finally added after a prolonged period of some-what awkward silence.

"With the way I see it, Clarke has a way of opening Lexa up." Anya said. "I haven't seen Lex act this way in a long time."

"So what if we convince Clarke to make the first move?" Octavia suggested.

"That's a long shot," Raven snorted, "She is so flustered by Lexa I don't even think she can think straight around the girl. Pun intended."

"Okay well they clearly like each other. We need to get one of them to make the first move. I'm not going to sit here all month and watch these two have eye sex while not addressing their feelings. Hell we all live 20 minutes away, they could make a relationship out of this!" Octavia was getting annoyed now.

"How about you guys talk to Clarke, and we'll talk to Lexa. Then we meet back up and tell each other what we find out. Maybe our information will help them grow up and talk about it." Lincoln said, and everyone around the table nodded in agreement.

"You're so smart." Octavia smiled and pecked his cheek.

"I'm going to need more tequila for this..." Raven groaned, getting up from her seat and making her way over to the tiki bar.

"Hey Clarke."

Clarke peeled her eyes away from her drawing to see Bellamy standing in front of her. He was smiling down at her with his trademark Bellamy Blake smile, water dripping from his hair after taking a dip in the pool.

"Hey Bell." She smiled up at him.

"Where's everyone else?"

"Somewhere over there." Clarke waved her hand in the general direction of her friends. She turned her attention back to her drawing as Bellamy took a seat next to her.

"That's amazing Clarke." Bellamy said, leaning over his lounge chair towards Clarke's so he could see the picture.

"Thanks. It's the reefs I saw when we went snorkeling. They were so beautiful that I couldn't not draw them."

"Makes sense." He said turning his attention back to the general direction of the group. He scoffed when he found them, his eyes locking on Octavia and Lincoln. Clarke looked up to see what the young man was in fact scoffing at.

"Not a fan?" Clarke teased, taking a break from her nearly finished drawing. Bellamy didn't answer he just stared at his sister.

"How's Lexa?" Bellamy asked.

"Fine, I guess." Clarke lowered her voice, training her eyes on her pink toenails.

"Must be nice to have someone you like, like you back." Bellamy said bitterly as he lightly hit his fist against his chair. It wasn't in anger, it was as if he was trying to distract himself. Clarke has never seen Bellamy act this way, she didn't even know he had feelings for someone, considering he was always off flirting with other girls. Clarke came to the realization as to why Bellamy had been acting the way he has for the start of the trip, it all makes sense now though, if he was flirting then it was to get his mind off of the person he liked.

"You okay Bell? Do you wanna talk about it?" He shook his head.

"No, talking only makes it worse." his voice was low, almost a whisper

"Well if you ever want to talk, I'm always here. You're like a brother to me and I'll always be here for you."

"I seemed to be like a brother to everyone." Bellamy was clearly hurting, and Clarke hated to see the boy this way. Before she could add anymore words of comfort, he was storming off in the opposite direction.

"What's up with him?" Clarke turned her head around to see Raven and Octavia approaching, it was Raven who spoke. She turned back in the direction Bellamy had just left.

"I'm not sure." She told them.

"So how's the drawing coming along?" Octavia asked, popping a squat next to her blonde best friend.

"Good. It's pretty much done, I just need to make some finishing touches." Clarke opened her sketchbook back up to show her friends. Their eyes traced over the picture in awe. Somehow Clarke had managed to capture almost the exact beauty and color of the reef.

"You really do have a talent here, Clarke." Raven told her, her eyes never peeling away from the drawing. "You did this from memory?" Clarke nodded and Raven whistled. A silence fell as the two girls continued to marvel over Clarke's drawing.

"Hey, in a few days, when were docked Grand Cayman, my dad was thinking about renting a condo for us. The ship is going to be docked there for a full day, so he figured we could spend the night on the island. He told me all the kids could have their own condo, and the adults would have their own too." Clarke explained, causing her friends to tear the eyes away from the picture and look at her.

"All kids? As in Lincoln and the others?" Octavia questioned excitedly.

Clarke nodded, "All kids." The two girls cheered.

"That would be so much fun!" Octavia clapped her hands and cheered. "Seriously this is the best vacation ever!"

"Also, Clarke." Octavia sent her friend a harsh glare. "Did you tell Lincoln that if he hurts me, you'll break his pretty face?" Clarke laughed because those were her exact words to the boy. She nodded.

"I sure as hell did." Clarke responded with a big smile plastered on her face.

Octavia smiled. "I love you." She said leaning over and giving her friend a big hug.

"Did you ever give Wick the best friend talk?" Raven questioned.

"Raven I haven't met Wick, so no I haven't." Clarke retorted as she pulled away from Octavia to eye her friend.

"Yeah Rae, why haven't we met Wick yet?" Octavia asked.

"I want to make sure it will actually last before I introduce you guys." The girls shrugged in response, Raven's choice made sense.

"So, tell us about Lexa." Clarke rolled her eyes at her friends, but she obliged and told them all about how the beautifully tanned and tattooed brunette made her feel. She told them how whenever she looked into those piercing green eyes, she became lost and didn't want to find herself. How whenever she saw the girl her stomach fluttered, and when they touched she felt a jolt of electricity inside of her. She wanted nothing more than to just be in the company of this girl.

Yeah Clarke liked Lexa. She liked her a lot.
