A/N Eeekkkk I'm failing with my updates, I'm sorry everyone. As you all know I am working on the final for Voss Inc so that has me a little tied up but here is a new chapter for everyone. Let's just say we got a overload of cute and fluffy for this one. Enjoy and thanks for all the support.
PS - This was not proofed in any way possible so I apologize for the mistakes.
Lexa stood in a clothing store looking at herself in a the mirror. She hated going to any place fancy but she knew she didn't have much time to pick out something to wear to Clarke's gallery opening. She was never one to wear a dress so a suit was the only way to go. A dress on her might look amazing but she'd die in heels the whole night and Clarke told her to be comfortable so this was her best bet.
"Step out already." Lexa rolled her eyes hearing Raven outside of the dressing room.
"Shut up." Lexa pushed open the curtain letting her best friend look her up and down. This was the third suit she had tried on because Raven had said no to the first two.
"Hmmmm." Raven tried to hide her smirk because she could tell her best friend was annoyed. She hated shopping for anything and her version of going out was a tank top and jeans.
"Hmmm what?" Lexa watched Raven circle her tugging and poking at certain sections of the suit.
"Put the jacket on and let me see you." Raven picked up the jacket to the suit.
"Ughhh." Lexa grabbed the jacket turning into the mirror again as she was putting it on. This suit was better looking than the others. It was a black suit trimmed in grey and she was wearing a olive green blouse underneath it. It wasn't over the top manly if anything it looked like something any woman would wear to a business meeting.
"I like this one." Raven adjusted the collar of the jacket looking at the suit it fit her best friend in all the right places.
"You don't think I look to dressed up?" Lexa was a little paranoid.
"Lex were going to the Clarke Griffins gallery opening. The people who will be rolling in and out of there probably have millions to spend. If anything you want to look casually fancy and I'm sure Clarke will be in a dress and will love to have you standing next to her.
"I hate these things." Lexa pouted in the mirror but she had said yes to Clarke and she knew in the back of her mind she wanted to impress the girl and be close to her so others might get the warning to back off. She had watched Clarke in a few interviews lately and the relationship question had come up several times on if she was dating someone new. Lexa wasn't hurt by Clarke saying no because they hadn't really approached that subject but she didn't like others knowing she was single either.
"What are you thinking?" Raven watched Lexa pick apart something in her mind.
"I was just thinking about Clarke." Lexa didn't want to admit her slight jealousy.
"That was obvious now what else?" Raven pushed.
"You seen Clarke's interviews and you've seen her answer the relationship question lately with no she isn't seeing anyone. I'm okay with that but what if someone shows up and hits on her or wants to take her on a date." Lexa turned taking off the jacket looking for the price tag.
"Well maybe you should do something about that." Raven smirked seeing her best friend roll her eyes.
"Jesus this suit is expensive. I can't afford something like this." Lexa held up the jacket to Raven shaking her head.
"Yes you can because Clarke gave me a check for my work and along with that check she gave me one for you and the work you did." Raven popped out a check for 5k with Lexa's name on it handing it to her.
"What the hell, this is way too much." Lexa kept shaking her head.
"Really because I got 10k and I was as happy as could be with it. Plus look how she addressed yours." Raven watched Lexa smile at the check.
"For saving my life." Lexa repeated it out loud on what Clarke had wrote on the check along with adding a small heart.
"Exactly and if anything you owe me some money for introducing you two." Raven stood up looking high and mighty.
"Pshhh don't act like you haven't had your eyes on Octavia." Lexa watched Raven smile.
"She doesn't like women thank you very much but she is easy on the eyes." Raven wouldn't deny Octavia being attractive but she was done chasing the straight women.
"Well who knows maybe you'll meet someone new at this gallery opening." Lexa really did want her best friend to find someone special.
"That is exactly my plan and you won't be the only one showing up in a suit." Raven grinned knowing they both were going to be hot walking in.
"Whatever you say Raven." Lexa adjusted her suit looking in the mirror she had to admit it did look pretty damn good on her.
Clarke sat in her loft looking over furniture catalogs when she should be going over her guest list to the gallery. She was tired of working and all the formality involving the opening. Tomorrow night was the night of her first big opening in the city and she made sure it was to fund a good reason. She had asked Lexa to show up and the brunette had said yes but she was still worried on if she was actually going to show up. She was overthinking the issue along with missing the brunette already and it had only been hours since she left her apartment early in the morning.
"Let's work Clarke." Clarke stood up trying to shake her feelings off. Maybe she could put her unresolved feelings to rest by painting or sketching something. Walking off the elevator to her studio she pulled out a new canvas to paint. Turning on her radio she started to tap her foot to the music loving the slow down tempo beat.
"Don't you want to staaayyy." Clarke picked up the sketch pad she left on her couch the other night when she had Lexa here seeing the rough sketches of the brunettes tattoo. Grabbing her outline brush she started to paint the side and back of a woman standing naked. The rest the body image blended into the background just allowing the tattoo to stand out with the different twist and turns following the tribal script running down the brunettes body. Clarke took out her charcoal running her fingers down the painting meshing the colors swaying with the music she was lost in her own world.
"You got those powers over me." Clarke kept singing looking back down at her sketch and closing her eyes thinking about tracing her fingers over it this morning when she was laying in the brunettes bed before she had to sneak out.
"Looks like you got a close up princess." Octavia watched her best friend scream only to jump about three feet before dropping her brush.
"I'm going to kill you." Clarke all but sat on the ground clutching her heart.
"It looks good." Octavia laughed gesturing to the canvas.
"How the hell did you get up here." Clarke was pissed but slightly laughing.
"I have a key card duhh." Octavia walked up admiring her best friends work. No matter what anyone said Clarke would have been a great doctor but her talent was in art. It was in painting and creating and allowing you to see a picture that you just couldn't see with your own eyes.
"Remind me to take it from you." Clarke finally stood back up looking back at the canvas she hadn't realized how much she had got done because she was lost in her own thoughts.
"Well it's your fault you have the music so loud you couldn't hear the elevator ding but I could see why." Octavia turned seeing her best friend blush.
"Funny thing is I was actually trying to get her off my mind." Clarke walked over to the radio turning it down before plopping down on the couch.
"Why is that?" Octavia was a little confused.
"I don't know to be honest. I like her a lot like. She gorgeous and if you could see how she opens up when we are alone and it's just almost everything about her stuns me. It scares me but then I get around her and everything just melts away. All my insecurities gone and all the confidence I lost being with Finn comes back." Clarke looked over at her best friend to see her smiling.
"What?" Clarke glared at Octavia.
"You're falling for her." Octavia was excited it was about time her best friend found someone to treat her right.
"Stop." Clarke stood up pointing a finger at Octavia thinking about it. They really didn't know each other that well she couldn't be falling for Lexa already could she.
DING
Octavia got up and grabbed Clarke's cell phone seeing Lexa's name on it since her best friend was once again lost in thought staring at the canvas.
"Princess." Octavia knew reality was going to hit her best friend hard in the face soon.
"Hmmm." Clarke wasn't paying any attention again.
"Your commander just text you." Octavia walked up to Clarke kissing her on the top of her head before dropping the phone into her hands.
"Where are you going?" Clarke stood up looking attempting to following her best friend as she looked down at her phone seeing Lexa's name on it before hearing the elevator door start to open.
"See you later bitch." Octavia laughed seeing her best friend flip her off as she smiled at her phone.
Lexa had finished up her shopping with Raven earlier and left with the suit in hand thanks to Clarke. She stopped by the station making sure everything was in order and that her paperwork was filed. She even spotted Harper who she knew she was going to have to have a talk with eventually but the last thing Lexa wanted to do at the moment was hang around the station. It was funny because the station was her whole life before Clarke. She never left and it had been only two weeks if that or maybe more and the blonde had her changing her ways of life already. Jumping back into her truck she pulled out her phone and decided that if Clarke was on her mind why not see what she was doing.
Lexa: Waking up in bed alone is no fun.
Lexa laughed a little knowing both times they had been together now they both had to leave early due to work and it made Lexa wonder what early morning Clarke was like.
Clarke: I know the feeling =)
Clarke smiled sitting down on the floor exactly where she had been standing. It felt odd being so wrapped up in someone. When she was with Finn even in their early stages it was just this is my boyfriend type of thing. Now with Lexa it was more of I want all of this to be mine and I never want to let it go.
Lexa: What are you up too?
Lexa knew she might seem needy since they had just spent the night with each other but she couldn't help but hope Clarke said nothing so she could make plans with her.
Clarke: Nothing really just messing around with some paints.
Lexa: Would you like to join me?
Clarke was curious Lexa hadn't said what just if she would like to join her.
Clarke: Join you in what?
Lexa: It's a surprise.
Lexa knew that was going to pull Clarke in. Clarke was a curious person and Lexa already knew she loved a surprise unlike other people.
Clarke: Okay fine I will give in but only if you tell me what to wear.
Lexa: Just dress warm.
Clarke looked down at the fact that she was not even close to be dressed warm and she had paint all over herself.
"Shit Clarke." Clarke took off towards the elevator hoping she had enough time to put herself together because so far she knew Lexa was prompt which meant she was probably already on her way.
Lexa smiled starting her truck. She hoped that Clarke liked where she was bringing her and she had a feeling the blonde had no idea where they were going because she was too new to the city to know the events.
Clarke stood looking at herself in the mirror she had gotten all the paint off her face and body thanks to a special soap she used. Looking at her clothes she thought warm and that was like the last thing Clarke really owned. Grabbing a tank top she tossed a long sleeve shirt over it before digging through her dresser for some jeans.
BUZZ
Clarke turned hearing the buzzer before looking down at herself. Shrugging her shoulders she didn't really care and who doesn't love a tease every now and then. She walked over and pressed the buzzer hearing Lexa tell her that her room service was now available causing her to laugh before pressing the button to let her up.
Lexa shoved the door up on the elevator with a hoodie in hand looking around for Clarke. She spotted a few new pieces of furniture still wrapped up sitting in the middle of the room waiting to be placed but Clarke was nowhere in sight.
"Clarke." Lexa spoke up standing in place.
"Up here I think I need some help." Clarke stood looking at the rest of her clothes trying to figure out warm.
"What do you." Lexa stopped in her tracks seeing Clarke standing in a long sleeve shirt and boyshorts. It was the last thing she expected but also a fantastic view.
"I don't know how to do warm." Clarke turned lifting her hands up spotting Lexa's eyes roaming her body.
"You know that isn't fair right." Lexa met Clarke's eyes seeing her smirk.
"I told you I needed help." Clarke shrugged trying to act innocent.
"Okay put some jeans on so that I don't start something before we even get anywhere." Lexa shook her head before turning around and grabbing the hoodie she had sat down for Clarke because she had a feeling the woman didn't own a real jacket.
"Okay fine I think this is warm." Clarke adjusted her long sleeve t-shirt and jeans she had pulled a beanie on and and added a scarf.
"You are going to need this." Lexa turned back around laughing seeing the warm version of a beach bum.
"Ohh what is this?" Clarke held up the fire department hoodie spotting Lexa's last name on the back of it. Internally she hid all of her excitement regarding it.
"Something a little warmer since we're going to be outside for a bit." Lexa unwrapped Clarke's scarf pulling her closer before leaning down and giving the blonde a soft kiss hearing her slightly sigh into it before lifting the hoodie and shoving it down on her head while laughing.
"Heyyyy." Clarke pouted with just her eyes looking out of the hoodie seeing the brunette laugh.
"Not funny jerk." Clarke shoved Lexa once she got the hoodie on.
"You look cute in my clothes." Lexa couldn't help but smile at the fact that her last name was on the back of the hoodie.
"I know I might have to keep this. Who knew the fire department made such good clothing." Clarke could see the smirk on the brunettes face.
"You sure you want to let everyone see you walking around in that?" Lexa was curious.
"Damn right I do let's go cap." Clarke couldn't help but laugh while making fun of the brunette seeing the shock on her face.
Clarke sat in Lexa's truck curious to where they were going. She could see they were heading a little farther into the city along with the fact that they were heading towards the water. Looking around she couldn't see anything that really stood out.
"Where are we going?" Clarke looked over at Lexa who seemed extremely calm.
"Somewhere to have fun." Lexa glanced at Clarke seeing her glare at her.
"Can I have a hint?" Clarke turned a little towards Lexa so she could study her face. Everything about her was stunning.
"Okay your hint is we're about ten minutes away." Lexa smiled hearing Clarke huff at her.
"Such a hardass." Clarke bit her lip still eyeing Lexa before she spotted the colored lights.
"Oh my god!" Clarke scooted forward in her seat seeing all the lights flashing and the rides spinning around and what seemed like a million people.
"Come on we're here." Lexa parked quickly before hopping out of the truck running around to open the door for Clarke who was still in awe obviously.
"I've never been to one of these." Clarke jumped out the truck looking like a child bouncing on her feet.
"You've never been to a fair?" Lexa was in shock as they started walking towards the gates.
"Nope it's not something Finn or well my past was interested in." Clarke decided to not bring up her exboyfriend.
"Well then I guess we have another first." Lexa smiled at Clarke.
"Oh here." Clarke tried to pull out her card in attempt to pay for the gate admission.
"Who's this cap?" Clarke stopped seeing the big guy pick Lexa up and hug her.
"This is the Clarke Griffin." Lexa turned towards Clarke seeing the confusion.
"Hmmm she's a pretty one." Clarke felt herself blush at the man's compliment.
"Trust me I know." Lexa smiled watching Clarke go shy all of a sudden.
"Have a great time." Clarke watched the big man wink at her as he handed two bracelets as they headed past the gates into the fair.
"Who was that." Clarke questioned Lexa now that they were alone.
"That's Nyko he is like family to me and he has a great eye in women." Lexa turned to Clarke holding up the bracelet to wrap it around Clarke's wrist before decided to keep ahold of her hand.
"What do you want to do first?" Clarke perked up feeling Lexa's hand in hers and all the lights and games she couldn't be more excited.
"Games or rides?" Lexa asked.
"Rides." Clarke jumped a little starting to drag Lexa towards some kind of ride that spins.
"Don't you dare throw up on me." Lexa warns Clarke as they walk past the guy nodding to Lexa climbing up into the ride.
"Do you know everyone here?" Clarke was confused on how they didn't have to pay to get in.
"That bracelet you have on gives us access to everything soooo I might know a few people. Plus I use to work here." Lexa laughed as the guy strapped them both in.
"You use to work here?" Clarke was in shock.
"Yeah I had to pick up trash when I got in trouble once." Lexa was a little embarrassed admitting it.
"Always a troublemaker." Clarke shook her head and then grabbed onto Lexa as the ride pushed forward faster then she expected.
Lexa laughed the whole time listening to Clarke scream. Nothing was cuter then the blonde trying to tuck her head into her shoulder as the ride threw them up before spinning again. She wrapped her arms around Clarke trying to hold them in place a little more seeing Clarke peek her eyes out the second the ride slowed down.
"Too much?" Lexa tried to hold back her smile seeing Clarke's red face.
"That was freaking ridiculous." Clarke said out of breath.
"That was priceless." Lexa finally let out a laugh.
"Jerk don't laugh at me." Clarke smiled as they both jumped off the ride.
"Next ride?" Lexa grabbed Clarkes hand heading towards one that was her favorite but she wasn't sure how Clarke would like it.
"What does this one do?" Clarke was paranoid looking up at the ride that seemed to go just straight up into the air.
"It shoots us straight up so you get the view of the city at night." Lexa watched Clarke's eyes go big.
"Are you up for it?" Clarke listened to Lexa looking up at the ride tell herself not to be a baby.
"Are you going to hold my hand?" Clarke looked at Lexa.
"Promise to not let go." Lexa smiled picking Clarke up and putting her on the lift as she jumped up.
Clarke took a deep breath as the guy strapped her in before pulling down the the padded bar locking it closed she felt Lexa reach over and grab her hand squeezing it tight. She hated heights and she didn't mention it because Lexa looked so happy standing in line. Feeling the ride lift a little she squished her head back closing her eyes.
"I hate heights." Clarke yelled.
"You what?" Lexa looked at Clarke who was pale white.
"I hate heights." Clarke turned her head biting her lip she could see the shock on Lexa's face before the ride clicked and they shot straight up into the air. All she could hear was Lexa screaming along with a bunch of others.
"Open your eyes?" Clarke heard someone yelling at her but she refused to move.
"Clarke open your eyes." Lexa yelled again as they sat at the top taking in the view.
Clarke peeked her eyes open. They weren't moving she could tell that much. Opening her eyes up a little wider she seen the city lights. It was beautiful they had the whole view of downtown and she swore if she looked hard enough she could see her gallery. Turning her head towards Lexa she could see the sparkle in her eye as she was staring at her.
"You're beautiful." Lexa couldn't stop herself from saying it. Seeing Clarke look over the city and then meeting her eyes and the blue engulfing her.
"I…" Clarke felt the world drop out from underneath her as the ride was soaring back down to the ground. All she could do was scream that eventually turned into laughing as she squeezed Lexa's hand.
"You should have said that you were afraid of heights." Lexa pulled Clarke off the ride getting them to a safe spot to talk but before she knew it Clarke had her turned around crashing her lips together. Lexa didn't even know what to think she just kissed Clarke back with just as much passion as she was getting. She felt Clarke lift her legs to latch them around her deepening the kiss.
"You're amazing." Clarke finally spoke not caring who could see or what they thought because Lexa was all she seen looking down into her eyes because the brunette had yet to put her down.
"I'm glad you're having fun." Lexa smiled spinning them around in a circle hearing Clarke laugh again she knew it was something she'd never get tired of hearing.
"Game time?" Clarke scooted out of Lexa's grip but made sure she laced her fingers with the brunettes as they started to walk again.
"You do realize I'm going to kick your ass right?" Lexa felt Clarke swing their hands.
"Pshhh you'll have to prove that commander." Clarke bit her lip looking for a stuffed animal she wanted. Spotting a little raccoon that was the cutest thing she had ever seen she pointed at it and ran letting go of Lexa's hand.
Lexa stood watching Clarke run to the game circling around it pointing at the raccoon. Lexa couldn't believe how fast she had fallen for the adorable yet sexy blonde. Everything about Clarke made her smile. Taking off in a jog Lexa snuck up behind Clarke grabbing her from behind.
"Mmmm." Clarke hummed turning her head feeling the warmth of Lexa behind her.
"Mmhmm so that raccoon that is what you've decided on." Lexa looked up at it and she had to admit it was cute.
"Yup I plan on kicking your ass to get it." Clarke laughed holding up her bracelet before taking a seat to get ready. The game was one where you shoot water into the bullseye to make the water rise. She knew she had like no chance at beating Lexa who has obviously shot a gun before.
"Let's do this princess." Lexa sat down watching Clarke glare at her over the use of her nickname.
"You're going to pay for that." Clarke warned the brunette as she started to aim.
"I look forward to it." Lexa tried not to laugh seeing Clarke falter just a little in her aim with her comment back.
Hearing the buzzer go off and that water stream out Clarke moved just a little to make sure she was hitting the bullseye praying she was going to win. Hearing it ding she looked up and she hadn't won but looking over Lexa had won. Glancing at her she had a complete smug look on her face.
"Winner and what would the gorgeous lady want." Lexa smiled looking at the guy before looking back at Clarke seeing her facial expression change at the guys words.
"Ummm." Lexa dragged it out a little just because she already knew what Clarke wanted but she wanted to tease the blonde about it.
"Nothing up here will look as good as you." Lexa opened her eyes wide hearing the guy this time. She was even shocked with how forward he was being.
"She would like the little raccoon wouldn't you babe." Clarke grabbed Lexa's hand hoping to prove a point to the guy who was obviously hitting on Lexa.
"Yes sir I would like the raccoon here for my gorgeous girlfriend." Lexa tried her hardest not to laughed at the looks Clarke was shooting at the guy as he grabbed the stuffed animal and tossed it down to her with a cheesy smile.
Clarke wasn't sure what to do or think about what she just did and said. It didn't seem like Lexa was bothered or annoyed by it but she had just jumped the gun a little and it was because of jealousy. She knew that she had a jealous streak she had it come out a few times when Finn purposely pushed women in her face but this time it was drawn out because she wanted Lexa to herself yet again.
"Babe huh?" Lexa watched Clarke roll her eyes knowing she was about to get teased.
"He was hitting on you." Clarke tried to make her point before grabbing the raccoon and hugging it.
"I know but look at me." Lexa laughed following Clarke seeing her name on the back of the blondes hoodie and everything that had just happened gave her some hope.
"What about you with the girlfriend comment huh." Clarke turned smiling at Lexa knowing the teasing could go both ways.
"I was just following your lead babe." Lexa watched Clarke bite her lip thinking it over.
"Okay fine I was jealous. I have a streak of it but it usually doesn't come out that way." Clarke stepped up to Lexa seeing her grinning like a kid who just got some candy.
"It was a cute look on you." Lexa wrapped her arms around Clarke squishing the little raccoon between them.
"What can I say I may have a small protective side for this really cute firefighter that I know." Clarke leaned in giving Lexa a quick kiss.
"She's one lucky girl then." Lexa grabbed Clarke's hand again and started walking.
"What do you want to do next?" Clarke asked looking around at all the choices they had.
"This is your night you choose." Lexa spun them in a circle making sure Clarke could see all of her options.
"How about we... " Clarke trailed off seeing a paint booth and couldn't help but head that way.
"I had a feeling this would catch your eye eventually." Lexa walked up to the booth watching two people paint faces and another doing a portrait.
"What can I say it's the way to my heart." Clarke watched looking at the different styles the people were using.
"Hey I know you." Clarke smiled at one of the artist.
"Just admiring the skills." Clarke tried to keep it casual so a scene wasn't made.
"Understandable want to sit in for a second." Lexa had a feeling the man knew Clarke wasn't trying to bring attention to herself.
"Ohhh no I couldn't" Clarke grabbed Lexa's hand not expecting her to give her a little shove forward.
"Come on this little girl next would love a face paint from an amazing artist." Clarke smiled looking at Lexa seeing her nod of approval she stepped around the booth taking a seat on the stool in front of the little girl.
"What would you like sweetie?" Clarke watched the girl scan her face.
"You're an artist?" Lexa heard the little girl ask Clarke.
"Yup that I am so how can I make you special today?" Clarke smiled seeing the girl's eyes light up.
"I want to be a warrior." Lexa laughed seeing the girl raise her arm like she was in charge.
"Princess warrior I can do that." Clarke picked up the black paint starting with a band around the girl's eyes letting it fade down a little before adding small pink and purple spots to accent it making the girl look fierce.
"What do you think?" Clarke held up a mirror showing the little girl.
"I love it you're amazing." Lexa watched the girl's eyes light up before throwing herself on Clarke giving her a big hug.
"My pleasure." Clarke grabbed the little girl's hand walking her back to her parents.
"Thank you so much." Clark nodded to both parents seeing them smile.
"Do you think they know who you are?" Lexa stepped up beside Clarke.
"Doesn't matter the look on her eyes is why I do what I do." Clarke smiled eyeing a photo booth.
"Why are you smirking like that?" Lexa could see a glint of humor in the blondes eyes.
"Ohhh well I found what I want to do next." Clarke pointed seeing Lexa spot the photo booth before rolling her eyes.
"I hate pictures." Lexa pouted.
"It will be a picture with me though." Clarke pleaded feeling Lexa drag her feet but she was still heading towards the booth.
"It will be our memory of tonight." Clarke pulled open the curtain sliding into the booth with Lexa next to her.
"What theme are we doing?" Lexa clicked through all the choices unsure of where to start. If she was honest she had never been in a photo booth before.
"No hearts." Clarke didn't want anything typical.
"Deal I can do that." Lexa stopped clicking and let Clarke scan everything.
"Hmmmm." Clarke didn't like any of the options they had.
"How about we just choose a white border and you can do your magic on them." Lexa shrugged thinking it could be a great idea.
"I like that now kiss me." Clarke pressed the button hearing the countdown she wrapped her hands around the brunettes neck bringing her down for a slow soft kiss.
Lexa pulled Clarke into her body so they were flush. If it wasn't for the fact that they were still in public and in a photo booth Lexa knew this kiss would have taken them farther. As for now she didn't care about what anyone thought she just wanted to forget the world and be with Clarke.
"Next picture." Clarke pulled away seeing Lexa still in a daze.
"What?" Lexa kept looking at Clarke who was looking at the camera smiling as the camera flashed.
"You missed it dork." Clarke elbowed Lexa making her turn and give a funny face so Clarke did the same.
'That had to be perfect." Lexa laughed knowing the pictures they had set up were failing.
"Now just smile." Clarke felt Lexa turned to smile before she felt her fingers start to tickle her.
"I don't smile Clarke." Lexa grabbed the blonde by her sides tickling her hearing her scream out in laughter as the camera flashed again.
"Looks like that is all we get." Lexa jumped out of the booth quickly knowing at some point Clarke was going to pay her back.
"That was so not fair." Clarke climbed out of the booth with her face beat red coughing a little from the attack.
"I'm so so so very sorry." Lexa smirked watching Clarke grab the photos.
"Let me see." Lexa held out her hand.
"Nope not till I am done with them." Clarke scanned over them stopping on the second picture with Lexa staring at her with her eyes wide and smile on her face like she was the only thing in the world. It made her heart beat a little faster.
"Okay deal but it's getting late so let's get you home." Lexa held her hand out watching Clarke walk around her before she felt the wait slam her in the back.
"Carry me." Clarke laughed feeling Lexa hop dragging her up a little higher for a piggy back ride out of the fair.
Lexa walked feeling Clarke relax against her as she walked them both out. Clarke was light compared to what she had to lift and carry in the past so it seemed just as simple. Heading towards the gate she nodded at Nyko giving her goodbye.
"She's a keeper cap." Clarke smiled at Nyko giving him a small wave as she leaned up to whisper in Lexa's ear.
"Yeah cap she's a keeper." Clarke smiled hearing Lexa laugh sitting her down outside the truck before opening the door.
Lexa rode back in silence seeing Clarke nod off in the truck even though it was only about a twenty minute drive. The blonde was tired and it was obvious even at the fair. Lexa thought about what Nyko had said and how the events of the night had gone. They had shared more than Lexa had ever expected. She was happy she asked Clarke out on a spare whim she wasn't busy. Parking her truck outside of Clarke's building she looked over at the blonde pushing a piece of her hair back enjoying her view.
"Staring can be considered creepy you know." Clarke whispered it after feeling the truck come to a stop.
"Fake sleeping can be considered the same." Lexa watched Clarke smile opening the door climbing out of the truck to come around to her side only to open the door.
"Let's go." Clarke grabbed the brunettes hand she didn't plan on letting her leave.
"I'll walk you up." Lexa didn't have to get up in the morning and she wasn't sure what Clarke had schedule due to the gallery opening she figured she let the blonde be.
"I don't think I've ever had this much fun in one night." Clarke mentioned leaning against Lexa in the elevator hearing it ding to lift the gate.
"I'm glad and I'll admit it's the most fun I've had in awhile as well." Lexa followed Clarke off the elevator seeing the blonde was making a beeline for her bed.
"We should do it again." Clarke climbed on her bed half asleep laying down flat stretched across it feeling Lexa come sit down beside her.
"Let's get you in bed princess." Lexa heard Clarke mumble something under her breath as she rolled over.
"Stay with me?" Clarke looked up into Lexa's green eyes seeing them brighten just a little with her words.
"Tomorrow is your big day." Lexa wanted to jump at the offer.
"I want you to be a part of it." Clarke watched the brunette blush slightly making her smile.
"As you wish." Lexa stood them both up slowly stripping them both of their clothes only to pull a long t-shirt over Clarke's head and she stayed in her tank top slipping into bed together.
"Sweet dreams commander." Clarke sighed scooting closer to the brunette snuggling her body up against Lexa's to make sure she could hear her heart beat. She never once thought this would be her life in the city so quickly but feeling Lexa's arms wrap around her she knew this was what right felt like. It was just another first.
A/N Okay so what did you think? Super cute overload. I wanted to give them a night away from both worlds before we step into Clarke Griffin the artist and gallery opening and what comes with the name. I hope you all keep reading and thanks again for everyone. xoxoxo
