Chapter 4
Clarke was looking at the front door of her new job, ready for her second day. She didn't know what to do. It was 7.57 a.m. and she didn't know if Lexa would be there already.
As expected, she hadn't been able to sleep. The little sleep she had got, the brunette had haunted her dreams.
She had to be so damn gorgeous, Clarke thought.
Just when she decided to grab her key to open the door, she heard a sounds coming closer.
When she looked up, her heart nearly stopped.
Lexa was cursing in herself. She had overslept, not being able to fall asleep for a very long time, a certain blonde on her mind. So this morning she had nearly missed her alarm clock going off.
She hated being late. Lexa Woods was never late.
But today, her hair was in a quick bun, her makeup was done very fast, she hadn't even have time to check if it was done correctly. Her shirt wasn't buttoned up completely yet, showing the tank top she was wearing underneath it. Her light blue jeans where the first she had been able to grab jumping out of bed.
Lexa had hoped, prayed even, that Clarke wouldn't be early. She had wished for her to even be late, she wouldn't be mad, for once.
But there she was. She looked like she had been standing there for a while already.
Franticly she searched her mind, trying to remember if she gave Clarke a key the day before. If she hadn't, it would explain the blonde waiting. But she was certain she had left her a key on her desk. And Lexa was never mistaken.
Her heart was making a little jump, for a second considering the possibility that Clarke was just as nervous as her to spend the day with her. Don't be silly, her head corrected her heart, she might be nervous, but that's probably because this is still all new to her and you're her boss.
Quickly Lexa tried to compose herself, as much as possible in the current circumstances.
When she reached Clarke, she simply said: "Good, you're early. I like it. Let's go inside."
Hearing Lexa speak, got Clarke out of her trance.
Hurried out of bed Lexa was even more beautiful than the strict stoic version of herself.
Clarke felt the urge to push her back into bed and help her get all those thrown on clothes back out.
Bad Clarke, she thought to herself, still searching for her focus.
This was going to be a long day.
Lexa lead the way, trying to regain composure. Seeing the blonde made that necessary.
She went straight to the kitchen. Another downside of oversleeping, she hadn't had any coffee yet. Lexa was certain that if it wasn't for a certain blonde, she would have already been depressed.
"Coffee?" she asked.
"Yes please", was the answer.
Good. Clarke was as much a morning person as she was.
Lexa made two cups of coffee with the Senseo machine that stood in the kitchen. Someone else would make a fresh pot when they'd arrive, someone always did. Today Lexa didn't have the patience to wait for it.
"Black?"
Clarke simply nodded.
God, she is beautiful, Lexa thought.
She gave Clarke her cup and kept her own, also black.
"Don't you hate it when people kill their coffee?"
Lexa looked up. Did the blonde just make an attempt at small talk? With her? She must really not know me yet, she thought. Still, for some strange reason, Lexa responded.
"With cream and sugar? Yes, I do. It's not coffee anymore when you do that."
The blonde nodded.
Lexa waited for a reaction from the blonde, but got nothing. It was as if Clarke had been able to read her mind, and decided to let her enjoy her coffee in peace.
God, I love this girl already…
What?!
Clarke had decided to enjoy their coffee in silence, after seeing the surprise on her boss' face when she started talking to her. The surprise that was on her face now, was a different kind of surprise.
It looked as if a thought had surprised her.
Clarke found it hard to not keep staring at Lexa.
I want to see her waking up more often, she thought.
She followed Lexa when she exited the kitchen, still holding her cup of coffee. The brunette entered the largest meeting room downstairs. There were two laptops already connected and two giant piles of papers.
"I am going to use your IT skills today", Lexa started.
Clarke froze.
Two laptops.
Next to each other.
Really close.
About every hormone in her body woke up that second.
It would be really hard to contain herself today.
Lost in thought, she suddenly jumped, feeling something against her hand.
It was Lexa, taking her now empty cup of coffee.
The instant they touched, an electric shock went through her body.
"Can you start the computers already? I think we'll need another cup of coffee before we can start with this."
Clarke could only nod, her mouth dry.
God, I love this girl already…
What?!
