It was 11:30 when Clarke woke up Raven and Octavia were still sleeping so she went down stairs to get them breakfast.
"Hey honey." Abby was downstairs making pancakes and eggs.
"Hey, where's dad?"
"He's still upstairs, are your friends still sleep?"
"Yeah, I was just going get them some breakfast"
"Well I hope they like pancakes." Abby smiled.
"Everyone likes pancakes mom." Clarke grabbed two plate and filled them with food and grabbed two glasses with orange juice. She almost dropped everything when her dad came behind her and caught a plate.
"You need help sweetheart?"
"Thanks dad." Clarke smiled. They walked upstairs and sat the food down and Raven woken up but Octavia was still sleep.
"Goodmorning." Clarke said as she sat the food down.
"Morning."
"This is my dad, dad this is Raven."
"Very nice to meet you Raven. I'm glad to see Clarkes made a couple of friends already."
"I'm glad that I met her your daughters awesome." Raven smiled.
"She is, well I'll leave you girls."
"Thanks for the breakfast." Raven smiled as she picked up a plate."
"I hope you like pancakes."
"Everyone likes pancakes Clarke."
"Did someone say pancakes." Octavia woke up holding her head and squinting her eyes due to the bright ass sun coming through the windows.
"Hear." Clarke handed her two Tylenol.
"You're a life saver." Octavia took the pills and sat up from the bed.
"You cook? Cause these are some bomb ass pancakes." Octavia asked as she took a bite of her pancake.
Clarke laughed. "I can cook, but this was all my mom."
"So what are you doing to day?" Raven turned to Clarke.
"Well uhm, Lexa's going to show me around Seattle." Clarke could feel her cheeks warming up.
"Aw, so like a date." Octavia smiled.
"She's just showing me around." Clarke wanted to get off the subject.
"It's so wired, we've known Lexa since we were kids and I've never seen her like this. Have you?" Octavia asked Raven.
"No never, I mean with Costia she was all lovey dovey, but never like this."
"Like what?" Clarke asks.
"Like how she is with you, you guys just met yesterday and it's like you've known each other she's different around you."
"A bad different?" Clarke murmured.
"No, it's good. I'm happy she's happy after Costia she deserves it."
Clarke just smiled. She wanted to give Lexa that happiness.
"Oh no , What time is it?" Raven frantically searched for her phone.
"It's 12:00 why what's going on?
"I have a late lunch with one of my mom and her friend at 1. She's helping me with jobs and internships during college next year. I have to go. O you want a ride?'
"Yeah, thanks for everything Clarke."
"Anytime, thank you guys to. For everything."
"We'll text you." Raven said as she grabbed her clothes and shoes.
"And have fun on your date." Octavia smirked as she walked out the door with raven.
After Clarke walked Raven and Octavia to the car she went back to her room and cleaned. She took the dishes downstairs then made her bed then her phone went off.
Lexa: Hey, hope your ready for the time of your life. Officially counting down 1 hour and 15 minutes left. 12:45pm
Clarke: Can't wait. 12:45pm
Lexa: I'll be there to pick you up soon!
Clarke put her phone down and got in the shower. She had to take a quick one because she still hadn't picked out what to wear. So when she got out she put on her robe and went to the closet.
It was already lightly raining so dresses and open toed shoes were out of the question. She went to her jean and got some ripped black high wasted jeans and paired it with a light pink halter crop top. It wasn't anything like her outfit last night but it was casual.
By the time she was dressed it was 1:30 and she still needed to do her hair. So since she braided it after she washed it her hair was wavy and long so she threw it in a ponytail. Then she got a text.
Lexa: Almost to your house. 5 more minutes. xx 1:45pm
Clarke threw her white chucks on then grabbed Jacket, phone, her bag with money in it and headed downstairs.
"Mom.. Mom" Clarke yelled
"In here." Clarke followed the voice which lead to the living room
"Hey guys I'm going out for a little bit, this girl I met yesterday is going to show me around." Clarke tried to walk out but of course her mom and dad had to comment.
"I'm glad your making so many friends so fast here." Her parents smiled. "But is this girl a possible romantic interest?" Clarke had told her parents that she liked girls a couple of years ago and they were fine with it.
"I don't yet. Were just friendly right now guys." Clarke was being honest she didn't know what was going to happen with Lexa. Then there was a knock on the door.
Clarke hurried and answered it trying to avoid her parents coming to the door but it was too late they were already following behind her. When she opened the door she saw Lexa with a big smile on her face and her beautiful green eyes.
"0 minutes left, and you look amazing as usual." Lexa smirked as she looked Clarke up and down.
"So do you." Clarke smiled back.
"Hi, my name is Abby this is Jake. Were Clarkes parents." Oh no. Clarke thought, why were they doing this…
"I'm Lexa, it so good to meet you!" Lexa smiled as she spoke to them. She looked so beautiful Clarke thought.
"I hope you'll take care of my little girl today." Her dad tried to speak firmly but it didn't hold.
"Of course, she deserves nothing but the best." Lexa nodded her head.
"We should go, lets go." Clarke was embarrassed, she just wanted to leave so she pulled Lexa's arm and walked towards the car.
"Have fun kids!" They waved from the door.
"I am so sorry about them." Clarke apologized as she got in the car.
"Why, there adorable. I love it." Lexa started they car and backed out of the drive way.
"So where first?"
"Can't say yet, but it's one of my favorite places to go." Lexa squealed as she drove down the street. She still had that big smile on her face.
"I hate surprises."
"Well you'll love this one." Lexa put her hand over Clarkes and the other one on the wheel. Which gave Clarke butterflies, but she loved it.
"So what have you seen of Seattle so far?" Lexa asks.
"Nothing really just the places around my house and the school."
"Then we have much see today."
As they drove they passed almost everything which confused Clarke.
"So I know your moms a art critic, but what does your dad do?" Clarkes asks trying to pass time.
"Well he owns 3 hotels here and 4 in Vegas. But he mostly works from home."
"What are his hotels called?"
"The Sebastiani International Suites."
"Your Italian?" Clarke asks.
"Yes, my dad is from Italy and my mom is from America they met when my mother went on a Art trip to Italy with her College friends, and I guess they've been inseparable since." Lexa smiled.
"Sounds like a fairytale."
"Yeah, what do your parents do?"
"My moms a Doctor, and my dad is a software Engineer."
"So he's super smart."
"Yeah."
"My mom would love you, she wishes she had a daughter who she could talk about art with."
"What do you want to do after high school?" Clarke asks Lexa.
"I'm not sure, my dad wants me to get a degree in business and run one of his hotels, but I just want to travel and see the world while I'm still young."
"You should become a writer, you said you love writing. If that makes you happy you should do it."
"Yeah, I could write about my adventures around the world." Lexa laughed.
"We still have time to figure things out."
"Yeah. We do." Lexa squeezed her hand then put both hands on the wheel.
They drove past every building and soon the were surrounded by trees and woods.
"You brought me to the woods?" Clarke asks confusingly as the car stopped.
"Yes, there's this spot right up there that has the best view, I come here to write sometimes. Come on you'll love it." Lexa opened her door and got out the car and Clarke did the same.
They walked up the steep hill and soon they were standing around tall trees and a view of a huge river with the shadow of a mountain behind it.
"Your right this is beautiful." Clarke walked closer to the rocks and sat down.
"You should see it when the sun is setting it's 10 times more beautiful." Lexa sat next to her.
"Maybe you could bring me back to see it sometime." Clarke looked into Lexa's sparkling green eyes.
"I can definitely do that." Lexa looked back into Clarke sky blue eyes.
"So why do you love the woods so much?
"I don't know, I just always have. I remember I used to make my parents bring me here after school almost everyday after school. Something about being in the woods has just always felt like a home to me."
"I know what you mean. Most of my pictures are of the sky and outdoors."
They sat there talking for like 40 minutes before Lexa said she had more to show her so they hopped back in the car.
"So I heard the space needle is a tourist attraction here."
"Were going there later, it's way better a night."
"So where are we going right now?" Clarks asks.
"My house, I have to switch my mom cars she picked mine up from the shop for me."
"So I'm going to be meeting your mom." Clarke was nervous.
"Yeah, I guess so, are you okay with that." Lexa laughed.
"Of course."
When they pulled up to Lexa's house there was a forest green G-Wagon sitting outside in the drive way.
"I just have to go grab the keys then we can go." When they walked the house looked different from when Clarke had been there lasts night. The fire pit was gone and there were a bunch of paintings on the floor waiting to be hung.
"Mom, where are you?" Lexa called.
"In here." A voice yelled from the back. Clarke followed Lexa towards the voice. They entered a room that was a office and a women with short black hair was sitting at a desk filling out papers and talking on the phone.
"The exhibit's grand opening is October 8th so your going to have to reschedule the viewing or I wont be able to make it." When Lexa's mom noticed them standing there she smiled. "I'll call you back I have a meeting in 20 minutes."
"Mom this is Clarke." Lexa smiled as she introduced Clarke to her mom.
"Hello Clarke, I'm Anya it's very nice to meet you. Alexandria tells me you're an artist."
"Well I wouldn't consider myself an Artist but I love drawing an art." Clarke was surprised Lexa mentioned her to her mom.
"Who's your favorite artist?"
"Kandinsky, definitely." Clarke answered.
"You like abstract art?
"Yes, but I'm not good at drawing it. I mostly draw people and the outdoors."
"I would love to look at your work sometimes Clarke." Anya smiled.
"Of course. And I love your paintings out front their amazing."
"There going it my exhibit in Paris in a couple of months, I've been collecting paintings for over 20 years."
"wow, your exhibit must be amazing."
"I hate to kill the conversation but mom where are my keys?" Lexa asks her mom.
"Right here, and Alexandria my car better be how it was when you left this morning."
"It is mom, lets go Clarke." Lexa grabbed Clarkes hand.
"It was good to meet you." Clarke said as Lexa pulled her out of the office.
"My mom likes you, I can tell." Lexa smiled.
"How can you tell?
"Because 1. She can talk about art with you and 2. Her favorite kind of art is abstract to and 3. She likes you because I like you." Lexa's cheeks turned bright red and so did Clarkes.
"I like you to." Clarke squeezed Lexa's hand as they walked to her car.
"Good." Lexa's cheeks soon became a blood red and she didn't even try to hide it.
"So where to know?" Clarke asks as they drive out of Lexa's driveway.
"Now we go to Frye." Lexa smiled as she drove off.
"Frye? The art museum?"
"Yep, there's an exhibit tonight and mom had tickets but she has a meeting tonight so she said we could have them."
"Lexa, I cant make you take me to something you won't enjoy."
"Don't be silly, I like their exhibits plus I wanted to do stuff you enjoy to."
When they got there a bunch of people were walking inside the museum.
"I can't believe I'm actually going to a exhibit here." Clarke eyes sparkled when the got inside the building which made Lexa smile.
"Come on I think its started." Lexa grabbed Clarkes hand and pulled her towards the large group of people.
"Welcome ladies and Gentle feel free to walk around the exhibit, some of the artist are even here to answer any of your questions. Thank you all for coming."
They walked around and looked at all the pictures and Clarke was in all, in Arkansas they didn't have many art museums so she only went to them when her family went on vacations.
"This is amazing, I cant believe this is actually happening. Thank you so much for bringing me here Lexa, you have no idea what this means to me." Clarke turned to Lexa.
"You don't have to thank me, it's a date I'm supposed to impress you!" Lexa smirked.
"This is the best date I have ever been on."
"I'm glad I have the honor of taking you on a date."
After they finished at the Frye it was already dark.
"Okay now we go to The Space Needle."
"It has to be closed by now." Clarke said looking at the time, it was already 9:45.
"Tonight it will be open just for us." Lexa grinned as the drove off In the car. Clarke wasn't really sure what she meant but I guess she would find out soon enough.
When they pulled up to the building it was lit up and the parking lot was mostly empty.
"Lexa, are you sure that this is okay."
"Of course Clarke, now come on." Lexa pulled her inside the building and there was a security guard sitting at the front desk.
"Hey joe." Lexa waved at the security guard.
"What's up Lexa."
"Can we go up?"
"Yeah go ahead, not to long though."
"Thanks joe." Lexa pulled Clarke on to the elevator and they went to the top of the building.
"You know the security guard?" Clarke asks confusingly.
"Yeah, he's my neighbor." Lexa laughed.
When the elevator stopped they got off onto a balcony type thing and immediately saw the amazing view of the sky. There was a man in a suit standing out there on the phone and saw them.
"Lexa? What are you doing here?" The man hugged her.
"Clarke just moved here, I had to show her the best view in town." Lexa hugged him back.
"Hello Clarke, I hope you enjoy Seattle. I'll see you soon Lexa. Don't be up here to late there sweeping out here soon.
"Thanks Mark."
"Do you know everyone who works here?" Clarke asked sarcastically.
"Well pretty much, but he's my dad's best friend I call him uncle mark I've known him my whole life."
"Why is he here?"
"He Manages The space needle Corporations, his dad founded The Space Needle.
"Wow, that's cool."
"Isn't the view amazing?" Lexa stared off as she held on to then railing.
"It's breath taking." Clarke walked closer to her to get a better look at the bright stars and the big moon shining above them.
Lexa looked over at Clarke, she saw the moon's reflection in her eyes and the big smile on her face as she looked into the sky. She couldn't stopped noticing how beautiful she was with her long blonde hair and big blue eyes. This feeling that she felt when she looked at Clarke was indescribable, she just knew she never wanted it to go away.
"I knew you would love it." Lexa murmured.
"You must come here all the time the view must not be as great to you anymore."
"With you here the view is barley even noticeable." Lexa pushed Clarkes loose hair behind her ear.
Clarke didn't say anything she just stared into Lexa's eyes, this whole day had been perfect. Her eyes lowered to Lexa's lips, she wanted to kiss her, she has since the bonfire. So she leaned in as soon as their lips were about to touch a voice stopped them.
"Lexa, were locking up." Joe called from the elevator.
"We better go." Clarke said , she was a little embarrassed. She wasn't sure if Lexa even wanted to kiss her again.
"Yeah." Lexa murmured, it was like every time they wanted to kiss something interrupted them. They got on the elevator and the whole ride down was quiet and so was the walk to the car.
"Tonight was amazing." Clarke finally broke the silence.
Lexa smiled. "Were still not done Clarke Griffin. Just one more place."
"It's already 10:30 I cant imagine anything being open right now."
"Trust me, there is." Lexa smirked. "Oh and Clarke?"
"Yeah?"
"I really hope you love to dance." Lexa's smirk grew.
Dancing? Clarke thought.
When the car stopped Clarke saw a huge neon sigh that read "Q's Nightclub."
"A Club? How can we even get in?" Clarke asked as they got out of the car.
"Your 18 right?" Lexa asked.
"Yeah."
"Then we can get in, we just cant drink." Lexa smiled as she smiled her towards the club. There was a long line outside but they didn't go to the back, they went straight to the front.
"We can't just walk in." Clarke said frantically.
"Trust me Clarke, I have everything under control." When the reached the bouncer a huge smile appeared on his face.
"Lexa, I haven't seen you around her in months. Go on in it's Black light night." He unsnapped the velvet rope and let them pass.
"Thanks T, it's good to see you."
"Okay I'm starting to think you know everyone everywhere and what is Black light night?" Clarke said as they walked through the entrance.
"You'll see." When the walked into the club there was glowing bodies everywhere. People where painted with different designs and dancing everywhere. Clarke had never been to something like this.
"You want to get painted?" Lexa asks as she tries to speak over the music.
"Sure." Clarke nodded not sure if Lexa could hear her or not.
They walked over to the artist and they both went to two different people so they could surprise each other with their designs. They turned their back to each other and got painted. When Clarke was done her stomach arms and face was cover in paint. She had gotten a tribal print with dots and lines on her face that made a cute design.
"Clarke are you done?" Lexa called from behind her.
"Yeah, I'm ready." Clarke yelled back.
"Okay turn around on 3. 1…. 2…. 3" When they both turned around Clarke had noticed that Lexa had taken her shirt off and was now just in a lace bralette. She had colorful flowers and designs all over her stomach and arms and them a masquerade mask painted on her face. She looked beautiful and Clarke couldn't stop staring at her.
"I love yours." Clarke tried to speak over the music.
"Lets dance." Lexa pulled her on to the dance for and started dancing.
The way she moved was so smooth and swift and she looked so free with every move she made. Lexa danced around Clarke then pressed her body on her made her shiver. Everything felt like it was going in slow motion as Lexa's body was rubbing against Clarkes. She never danced but around Lexa she comfortable enough to.
After about 20 minutes of dancing they both got tired and say on the couches.
"Let's get out of here." Lexa said in Clarkes ear and Clarke just nodded in return.
When they got outside it was colder and rain had just begun to fall. It was already 12am and Clarke knew her mom would be wondering where she was and she had left her phone in the car all day.
"We should take a picture, Hey T can you take our picture?" Lexa gestured her phone towards the bouncer and he took it. Lexa put her arm around Clarke and leaned in close pushing them together. "Smile Clarke." Lexa laughed.
The bouncer handed the phone back and they looked through the pictures.
"I love all of them." Lexa smiled.
"Me too."
"I should probably get you home." Lexa looked from Clarkes lips to her eyes.
"Yeah…" They walked to the car and staring driving to Clarkes house. Lexa turned the radio on and One Time by Justin Bieber came on.
"Oh my god I used to love this song." Lexa squealed.
Clarke laughed. "So did I ."
They both laughed and started singing the words.
When I met you girl my heart went knock,knock. Now them butterflies in my stomach won't stop, stop. And even though it's a struggle love is all we got. So we gonna keep, keep climbin' till the mountain top." They both sung the words with this huge grins on their faces.
After about 5 minutes they were at Clarke house.
"I'll walk you to the door." Lexa got out the car and walked with Clarke.
"This was really fun Lexa." As they walked their hands accidently touched but neither of them minded.
"It was I hope we can do it again soon."
"Me too." Clarke stopped at her door, not really sure what was going to happen from here. Before Clarke could say anything else Lexa grabbed her face pulling her into a hard kiss, they both wanted this all night. Clarke pushed her lips back onto Lexa's then the door opened. It was her mom.
"Clarke why didn't you call and say you would be late?" Abby asked worriedly.
"Sorry mom, I haven't had my phone on me all day." Clarke was beyond embarrassed.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Griffin, I shouldn't have tried to show her all of Seattle in one day, turns out that actually takes time."
"It's alright Lexa, maybe you could join us for dinner tomorrow night?" Abby asked with a huge smile on her face.
"Mom she probably eats with her family." Clarke stared at her mom, her and Lexa were really new she didn't want her mom scaring her off.
"No, I would love that." Lexa smiled at Abby then at Clarke.
"Great I'll see you tomorrow." Abby went back inside leaving the door open for Clarke to follow.
"I'm sorry, she can be a lot." Clarke said staring at the ground.
"I wont come if you don't want me."
"I do want you to come I just don't want my mom and dad scaring you off."
"That wont happen." Lexa smiled and grabbed Clarkes hand then pressed her lips on Clarke again.
"I'll see you tomorrow Clarke Griffin." Lexa smiled as she walked back to her car.
"And I'll see you." Clarke cheeks heated up as she walked inside.
"So how was the date?" Abby asked Clarke as soon as she walked in the door.
Clarke smiled as she closed the door and pressed her back against it. "It was great."
"Great that's all I get? You have paint all over your body you must've done something fun."
"Yes mom, now go to bed." Clarke hugged her mom before walking upstairs to her room. She stripped from her clothes and got in the shower and scrubbed the paint off her arms and stomach. When she was done she dried off and put a sleep shirt on before laying down in her bed. She picked up her phone and had a text from Raven.
Raven: How was it?
Clarke: It was amazing. You and O come over tomorrow?
Raven: YES, I need to explain my nightmare of a lunch to you guys.
Clarke: Come over around 1.
Raven: Done, ill tell O goodnight.
Clarke: Night.
Clarke put her phone down and stared at her ceiling. It was crazy how she had only been here 3 days and already made 6 friends and went on a date. It didn't seem real, she had hesitations about moving here but now she couldn't even remember why. Everything was going good, she was just worried it would stay that way.
