CHAPTER 4

CHANGE OF PLANS

Two weeks later…

Lexa is in rage. She wants to kill someone. They betrayed her. Pike betrayed her. She is going to kill that son of a bitch.

It had been two hours since she had that talk with Pike, their coup leader. She remembered vividly how the conversation went that made Pike grew angry.

She decided to withdraw her participation with them. For months, she had the chance to know the President and in her opinion, she realized that Abigail Griffin is a worthy leader after all. She doesn't deserve to be snatched out of her position. Pike was lying. He brainwashed her and their army. He wanted the presidential position just for his own benefit and not for the country.

And now, he blackmailed her.

Anya, her older sister was kidnapped by him. He blackmailed Lexa so she could stick with their previous plans.

She told Pike she couldn't do that because Clarke also has secret bodyguards that follow her around not just her. Then he ordered her to seduce the daughter of the president to gain her trust so that no one would suspect if she took Clarke to the warehouse. Lexa said NO! But she heard Anya in the background pleading for her life. That's why she agreed.

Clarke or Anya?

That is the question.

And she already knew the answer. Now she only has one week to seduce the President's daughter so she could save her sister.


"Clarke." Lexa called her name as she entered the office. Her heart was racing. She could do this. She shouldn't have been stoic for the past days with her. But she really couldn't blame herself, she felt something different lately with Clarke and she refused to acknowledged that by going back to being the stiff and stoic Commander that Clarke knew.

"Yes Commander? Do you need anything?" Clarke's voice was cold. Lexa gulped. She remembered briefly on how she brushed off Clarke two weeks ago.

"I made you coffee." Clarke said.

Lexa swallowed hard. "Oh. Thanks." She walked towards Clarke's table to get her coffee. She took a sip.

"Is it okay for you?" Clarke asked.

Lexa smiled simply. "Yes it is, Clarke."

Clarke grinned. "Good."

Lexa sat on the couch as she avoided Clarke's stare.

After few minutes, Lexa almost jumped when Clarke sat on the couch beside her. She was really engrossed in reading her book that's why she didn't noticed Clarke walking towards her earlier.

"Hi."

Lexa furrowed her eyebrows. "Uhmm… hi?" She replied.

"You know what, you shouldn't be grumpy all the time, you know. I told you we could be friends and-" Clarke was smiling at her and Lexa had to admit that she looks so pretty smiling like that.

Lexa stood up before Clarke could finish her sentence. "Clarke, we shouldn't."

Clarke pouted and Lexa had to admit once again that she almost fell for it. 'almost' . "But why?"

Lexa swallowed hard. She needs to brush off Clarke fast. She needs to avoid her at any possible circumstances. "I don't want to."

"What?" Clarke's eyebrows were furrowed now.

"I don't want to become friends with my employer. I don't want to be involved emotionally with my subject. I can't be friends with you, Clarke so stop trying to be one. You have a lot of friends, you don't need me to become one. I c-can't-" Lexa swallowed hard again as she gave a cold stare directly to Clarke, "I can't be friends with a party girl like you who fucks with everyone, boy or girl."

That hit a nerve. Lexa was so damn sure as she watched Clarke stood and left without a word.

That was the last conversation they had in two weeks.

Lexa breathed deeply. "Can I take you for lunch?" Damn! She doesn't have a game anymore. This would be hard.

Clarke's eyebrows furrowed at her. She didn't say anything.

"I mean, can we talk in private? I want to apologize for what I've said and-"

Clarke cut her off. "No. I'm busy." She continued her work without even sparing a glance to Lexa.

Lexa's heart fell. This is all her fault for brushing Clarke off. Now she needs to fix back their relationship with each other. She walked towards Clarke's table and without thinking; she knelt beside Clarke's chair.

"Lexa! What the-"

Lexa's hands captured Clarke's, "I'm so sorry. Forgive me, I didn't mean everything I said two weeks ago. You are amazing, Clarke. You deserved-"

Her speech was cut off when Clarke pulled her hand from her. "You're forgiven. But I would never forget the things you said. Now if you please excuse me, I have a lot of work to do. Just go back to being my bodyguard, Lexa. Don't bother me anymore."

Lexa was stunned by Clarke's words. Her jaw dropped as Clarke stood up and left her office.


"Come on Griff, you're no fun! Let's go out tonight please. It had been so long!" Raven's pleading voice continued to beg her.

"You do know that my mom wants me to avoid any night party for a while right?" Clarke said as she rolled her eyes.

"That was what? Two weeks ago. I'm sure you had served your punishment with flying colors." Raven grinned.

But Clarke shook her head. "Not now Rave." Clarke said. "I'm not in the mood lately."

Raven's face softened, "Okay. Are you still affected by your bitch bodyguard's words? You don't have to be. She is just a bitch okay."

Clarke shook her head. "I'm not thinking about her." She lied. Because the truth is, she was really affected by Lexa's words over and over. She started to doubt herself. She felt bad about herself. And to top it off, she was hurt. Lexa's words hurt her so badly because if she was really being honest to herself, the petty little crush she has for her bodyguard was not petty after all. She felt it when Lexa spoke those words to her. If Lexa wasn't important to her, she shouldn't be affected at all. But she was. She still is.

Clarke wasn't familiar with these kinds of feelings surfacing within her. No one had ever hurt her, even her ex boyfriend Finn. She never fell in love in her entire life. But why was she so affected with Lexa? Why does Lexa's opinion of her important for Clarke? And why does she feel she still wants Lexa even if she had hurt her? She shouldn't be attracted with her anymore. She should avoid her. So she did. But now, why is Lexa coming back to woo her? WHY?

Lexa is playing with her feelings, Clarke knew that. So the best she could do is to avoid her damn hot bodyguard.

"Earth to Clarke."

"Huh?"

"You were in deep thought."

"Oh yeah. Sorry." Clarke said as she rubbed off her memory with Lexa's kneeling in front of her.

"Stop thinking about her, okay? You don't deserve that kind of girl." Raven said that made Clarke nod.

"I have to tell you something though." Clarke breathed and then she narrated what happened hours ago in this very office.

"She did that, really?" Raven's voice was sarcastic to say the least. "Don't believe her, okay? Don't ever-"

A knock on the door startled both of them.

"Come in." Clarke called.

The door was opened revealing Lexa carrying a bouquet of roses in hand.

"Uhm- I didn't know you have visitor, Clarke." Lexa said, clearing her throat.

"If you are paying attention on your job, you should know that I'm here." Raven said, glaring at Lexa.

"Sorry, I just went out to buy these for Clarke." Lexa replied, her cheeks burning.

"It's Ms. Griffin for you, bodyguard." Raven replied once again.

"Uhmm- sorry." Lexa bowed her head.

"It's okay, Raven." Clarke said.

Raven breathed deeply. "Okay, I'll leave now. Text me if you change your mind." Then she kissed Clarke on her cheeks. "Bye." She glared at Lexa and walked away.

As soon as Raven was out, Clarke spoke, "You don't have to give me that, Commander."

"I wanted to." Lexa said, walking towards Clarke. But Clarke stopped her.

"Just give those to my secretary." Her voice was cold.

"But…"

"Close the door on your way out." She dismissed.

Clarke exhaled a deep breath as soon as Lexa stepped out of her office.


It was Saturday morning and Lexa knew Clarke's morning routine. She swore to herself that she would do everything to be close to Clarke once again.

And of course, to seduce and tempt her into submission.

Clarke was at the balcony enjoying her morning coffee when she saw Lexa in her sports bra and shorts. The brunette was having her morning jog around the garden and apparently stretching those insanely hot muscles right in front of Clarke's line of vision.

She almost choked on her coffee as she watched Lexa bend over. Her eyes widen at the sight.

Oh my god! Clarke thought. She felt hot all over.

"Good morning Ms. Griffin!" Lexa called her from below.

Clarke looked at her and tried to keep her cool. "Good morning." She replied in a formal tone.

"Do you want to join me? The weather is good for working out." Lexa said, smiling at her.

Clarke's heart jumped at the sight. She really hasn't seen Lexa smiling like that. It suits her.

She almost smiled. Almost. "No. I'm fine here." She replied then she looked away. She could feel her cheeks reddening.

Lexa smiled as she saw Clarke's reaction. She was happy to know that a little push will break Clarke's stoic appearance towards her.


In the afternoon, Clarke, with her eyes closed, was enjoying the sun in her one-piece blue bikini when she heard a splash from the pool. She removed her sunglasses to look at the invader.

Her jaw dropped when she saw Lexa, her damn bodyguard, coming out of the pool as if in slow motion. She was wearing a green two-piece bikini that matches her eyes. Clarke was mesmerized. Lexa looked like a goddess.

"Hi." Lexa greeted as she walked towards Clarke.

Clarke realized that she was staring at Lexa so she puts back her sunglasses on and said, "I didn't know that employees have access to our pool." She said bitchily, trying to masked her embarrassment.

Lexa chuckled, "Actually, the President already gave me the rights to use it when I'm off. It's part of the deal."

Clarke didn't know that. "Okay. Then you should use it when I'm not using it." She simply said.

Lexa chuckled again, "You're not using it now."

Clarke rolled her eyes behind her sunglasses. She stood up, preparing to leave but Lexa grabbed her wrist pulling her so she could face the brunette.

"Look, I'm sorry if I'm invading your privacy. I just want to…. I just want to be close to you." She said then she removed Clarke's sunglasses. Blue eyes met her green ones. Lexa's heart was beating so fast. "I…" Her eyes darted towards Clarke's lips. "Clarke…" she whispered as if asking permission to kiss her.

Clarke didn't say anything. Her eyes also found their way towards the brunette's plump wet lips. And then she saw those lips leaning forward slowly. Warning bells started to ring inside of her. Their lips were mere inches apart when she pulled away.

"No Lexa." Clarke said, backing away.

Lexa moved forward, "Listen to me, Clarke. I'm sorry. Please give me a chance to-"

"What changed, hmm?" Clarke asked as she crossed her arms on her chest. "Why are you doing this now? Why now?"

Lexa avoided Clarke's stare. She was guilty.

"You practically told me before that I'm always into games. How about you? What do you want now? To fuck me, that's it? So it could be out of your system?" Clarke shook her head, tears threatening to spill, "I'm sorry Lexa. But I'm not into you anymore. So just leave me alone and fuck yourself!" Clarke said, her voice angry. She wanted to slap Lexa but she didn't. She just couldn't do this anymore with her. She opened up herself to Lexa few weeks ago but she ruined her. She had hurt her with words. She thought Lexa was different. She thought they could be friends, she also thought they could be something else.

"Clarke, that's not-"

Then they heard a gunshot coming out of nowhere. Lexa immediately grabbed Clarke's wrist and covered her. They ran towards the mansion.

"Shit!" Lexa cursed as another bullet was shot close to them.

Clarke was shivering in fear. "Who was that? How did they-"

"Go back to your room and lock it. Don't open it unless it's me. You understand?" She huffed as they ran.

"But how about you?" Clarke asked, breathing rapidly.

"I need to get my gun. It was stupid of me to not carry it with me right now!" She said, cursing herself inside her mind. She was caught off guard and Clarke was close to being shot. "Now follow what I said, and you'll be safe, okay?"

It's a good thing that the President is out of state. Atleast she will just be focusing on Clarke's safety.


"LEXA!" Clarke screamed as soon as she opened her bedroom door. There was a masked guy in her room. He grabbed her by the wrist and forced her to come inside.

"CLARKE!" Lexa hurriedly went upstairs to Clarke's room. She already called the Presidential security and the police. Hopefully, they would respond fast for her call of help.

When she opened the door, she saw Clarke was being tied by the masked guy. She fired a shot but the man was quick to evade it. He went straight to Clarke's window and before he could jump, he fired a shot to Lexa's arm.

"Ugh!" Lexa was wounded.

Clarke's eyes widen as Lexa even with her arm bleeding continuously, tried to untie her.

"Lexa!" Clarke called in panic as Lexa fainted in front of her.


Lexa opened her eyes slowly. Flashes of blonde hair surrounded her line of vision. "Clarke…"

"Hmmmm…"

Lexa let out a deep breath as she realized Clarke was safe. She must have passed out and now she is in the hospital.

"Lexa, you're awake. Thank God!" Clarke said, as she pulled her hand. That's the only time Lexa realized that Clarke was holding her hand while they were both asleep. Her cheeks felt warm at the thought.

"How long was I out?" She asked.

"You were out for 14 hours. They had to remove the bullet in you arm. You had lost a lot of blood. I was worried, Lexa. I thought I lost you." Clarke replied, her tears started to fall down.

Lexa, even in her weak state, managed to wiped Clarke's tears away. "I'm here, Clarke. I'm always here."

Clarke nodded. They stared at each other for a while but were interrupted by a knock on the door.

President Griffin entered the room, "Oh Clarke! I'm so glad you're safe!" She hugged her daughter tightly. "I was worried sick."

"I'm fine, mom. Lexa saved me." Clarke replied.

"Thank you, Commander. For saving my daughter." Abigail said.

"It's part of my job, President Griffin." Lexa replied politely. "But I'm sorry I wasn't able to catch them."

"I will hold a meeting with the Head of Security to investigate what really happened. Don't worry Lexa. You have done your job, that is to protect my daughter. Thank you." Abigail replied.

Lexa nodded. Somewhat feeling guilty because she suspected Pike was behind all of this. She has to call him when she gets a chance. Attacking Clarke is not a part of the plan. She clenched her fist in anger.


"Clarke, I'm fine." Lexa managed to say as she watched Clarke tucked her in her bed.

She was already discharged in the hospital after a day. Then they went back to the President's mansion after ensuring the safety of the area.

Abigail wanted to assign another bodyguard for Clarke for the time being but the blonde refused to. She told her mom that she would have her vacation leave for a while until Lexa recovers.

"Don't be stubborn, Lexa." Clarke said, glaring at her.

"You don't need to tuck me in. I'm not a child." Lexa mumbled, her cheeks burning in embarrassment.

Clarke just glared at her making the brunette shut up.

Lexa smiled after a while, "You're not mad at me anymore?" she asked.

Clarke shook her head. "I'm still mad at you…" Lexa lowered her head, "But I forgive you because you save my life. And you had been shot. Taking care of you is the least I could do." She said, smiling at her.

Lexa smiled in return.

"You're beautiful like an angel." Lexa said, after a while. Her heart hammered inside her chest. She just said the cheesiest line she could think of but it's the truth. Clarke is beautiful. Gorgeous. Stunning.

Clarke blinked. Her cheeks grew warm at Lexa's comment.

She stood up abruptly but Lexa grabbed her wrist and pulled her making her stumble on the bed right in front of the brunette.

"Oh!" Clarke tried to remove herself off Lexa but the brunette pulled her nape and before she knew it, their lips touched.

And Clarke saw fireworks as they kissed for the very first time. Lexa opened her mouth slowly as she captured Clarke's bottom lip with her own. That gesture made Clarke shivered. Lexa was kissing her slowly and softly. It was so sweet that she almost cried. Never in her entire life did she experience this kind of kiss. It was slow and passionate. It was full of… love?

Clarke closed her eyes as she savors the feeling of Lexa's lip movement against hers. It was intoxicating. She responded slowly and softly too as she captured Lexa's upper lip. There were no tongue involved at first, it was just lips caressing each other's lips.

Clarke just followed Lexa's kissing. She didn't want her to stop. She was drowned by the brunette's kisses. Later did she realize that Lexa changed their position so she could be on top of her.

Lexa brushed her tongue on her lips making her open her mouth to welcome her inside. At the first contact of Lexa's tongue against her tongue, she moaned. Hard.

Clarke couldn't take it anymore as she pulled Lexa's head against her. Their kiss intensified. Their kiss becomes hot. Their tongues battled with each other. Clarke felt hot all over her body. She wants Lexa. She needs Lexa NOW!

Their breathing were both ragged when Lexa pulled away. Her forehead touched Clarke's.

"We should stop." Lexa whispered as she tried to control herself. She doesn't want to stop but she had to. This is getting out of hand. Her heart beats so fast that she feared she might die of heart attack. She never felt this way before. Not even with Costia.

"We should." Clarke answered.

Lexa get off Clarke and went to her side. They were both staring at the ceiling in silent. They were both hot and bothered but they tried to control themselves.

"I should go." Clarke said, after a while. She needs to get out of here. These feelings are different. Clarke felt scared.

"No, please." Lexa said, unable to stop herself. She positioned herself so she could spoon Clarke. "I want you here with me. Let's just sleep, is it okay?" she asked, trying to control her tears. She was torn. She thinks she might be in love with Clarke Griffin but how could she save Anya now?

Clarke nodded before she closed her eyes.

Lexa let herself feel for a while. Even just for a night, she would hope and dream of happiness with Clarke in her arms.
