Chapter 10 - I Do

Lexa was speechless. She finally understood why the women in those films always took forever to say yes when their lover was down on one knee preaching their love and eternal affection for them. Clarke looked up at her with expectant blue eyes. Lexa opened her mouth, then snapped it shut. Words. She needed to form words. Lexa then shakily took Clarke's hand and pulled her up, so she was standing before her. Clarke raised her eyebrow and she soon turned blurry with the tears flooding Lexa's eyes. Her mind went to the place it did when she couldn't sleep at night. The one place she was guaranteed to always find happiness. Her memories with Clarke.

"Lex, you don't hold the stick like that," Clarke giggled through her drunk stupor. She ran her hands over Lexa's bare arms and adjusted the pool stick. Lexa leaned over the pool table busting in giggles.

"I don't hold any sort of sticks, Clarke," Lexa chuckled even more. Clarke leaned into Lexa's bum and rested her head on her lover's back. Her head bobbed and vibrated as Lexa's laughter ran through her and she could no longer push her own laughter away.

"You're so drunk, Lexa"

"Mmm and you're not?" Lexa dropped the stick on the table with a thwack and turned so she could press her front to Clarke's. She draped her arms lazily around Clarke's neck and stole a kiss from Clarke's pouty lips.

"You're- more- drunk," Clarke muttered in between kisses. "We should go home."

"I am home." Lexa stared into Clarke's eyes and through her drunkenness, she saw Clarke perfectly. All else around her blurred and spun. She blinked slowly and basked in the warmth from Clarke's fingertips on her skin.

"The home with the bed, my love," Clarke smirked. Lexa pouted and nodded slowly.

Clarke kissed Lexa's cheek, forehead, and jaw. Lexa smiled dumbly at the blonde then she felt her stomach swoop and dip. She was suddenly being cradled in Clarke's arms like a baby.

"How can you carry me? You're wasted."

Clarke shrugged. "I can do anything for you."

Lexa smiled warmly. "You big sap." She flicked the brim of Clarke's snapback she stole from Bellamy.

"Ha ha" Clarke laughed and carried Lexa out of the family room of Octavia and Lincoln's knowing well enough that everyone was gone and she and Lexa surely had the couch for the night.

"Clarke."

"I think you put that end there," Lexa scrunched her eyebrows as she read the directions. "And save that screw."

"Oh, I'm most definitely saving a screw," Clarke winked. Lexa rolled her eyes and grinned.

"Once we're done with this table, you have me all to yourself," Lexa promised.

Clarke gave a mischievous grin. "On this table?"

"You're so perverted," Lexa began to screw the leg of the table into its proper place. "But, yes. Maybe."

Clarke clapped her hands and began her work.

"You know I love you right?" Clarke said after the table was finished.

"You know I know," Lexa cooed. "And I know you know I love you."

"Always will, commander."

Their lips met softly and Lexa sighed happily.

"Me too, sky girl."

Clarke looked at Lexa expectantly. Her fingers twitched around the ring and her palms could create their own sea. Her nerves were going to bust open.

Lexa looked down at her beautiful girlfriend and tried to calm down her brain. Her heart beat fast, and she tried to untangle the words floating around in the depths of her mind. She locked eyes with her blue eyed beauty and whispered, "Yes."

Clarke let out a choked sob and smiled wider than Lexa had ever seen. Clarke shakily placed the beautiful ring on Lexa's finger, and stood fast to hold Lexa in her arms. She peppered kisses all over Lexa's face which had become wetted from her tears.

"I love you so much, Lexa Woods." Clarke kissed Lexa softly.

"And I love you more than words could tell."

A slight breeze flicked at the trees and the two women looked into each other's eyes as the sky kissed the trees. They were each other's forever. Their home. And they couldn't wait to spend the rest of eternity together.

/Notes/

I'm sorry this chapter was extremely short. I warned you. This is last the chapter. But I've considered making this into a series. I might write a different one but of Lexa and Clarke's life after they're married. Tell me what you think. Thank you all again for reading. I appreciate it so much.
