A/N Hey everyone so here is the next chapter. I pushed it out a little quicker and I didn't do a full read through. I apologize for all the mistakes. Once again I want to make a statement to a person who reviewed.
Thank you for reading Reagan, I can't reply back to you personally or I would have done so. Regarding the fire department scenes in this fic I have stated in previous chapters I don't know much about it besides what I have seen on TV. I've had one other person let me know a few things about it as well which is why out of respect for the department I agreed to keep these scenes to a minimum. I am sorry if I offended you personally as a firefighter. Once again I will try and keep them to a minimum for the story and everyone's sake. I hope you keep reading.
Enjoy everyone. xoxoxo
Lexa stood looking in the mirror at her clothes she wasn't sure what to think or say. This was out of her comfort zone but she knew it was needed. Going to dinner with Clarke out in the open along with interviews. She knew what she was signing up for but having to do it was a different story.
"Are you ready for this?" Clarke straighten her suit looking back at Lexa who look terrified.
"Not really but I'm doing it anyways." Lexa looked back at Clarke who looked like a business woman in the making.
"You don't have to come if you are uncomfortable. I've done a million of these I can handle it." Clarke didn't want to force Lexa so soon into her spotlight.
"I'll be fine plus you have Raven and Octavia coming to the dinner so the spotlight won't be on just me." Lexa nodded looking back at both of them in suits but still Clarke seemed to look more feminine than her.
"I don't know how you wear these all the time." Clarke wasn't a fan of anything formal unless she got to wear a dress.
"You look stunning in it. Maybe if you dropped the jacket you'd feel more comfortable." Lexa knew it was the jacket that was throwing Clarke off. Her standing in suit pants and blouse was just enough for the dinner and meet and greet.
"Good idea." Clarke tossed off the jacket settling just for the blouse.
"Ladies ladies ladies looking good." Raven walked into the room set up for Clarke.
"Where is Octavia." Clarke looked at Raven who rocked a suit just as good as Lexa.
"Talking to the press. She refused to let me out there." Raven winked knowing she couldn't go out there anyways.
"Good you'd only start a riot." Lexa laughed at her best friend.
"One where all the women want me of course." Raven circled around tugging on her suit jacket.
"Do you have to be so cocky?" Octavia walked through the door shaking her head at Raven.
"It's okay Octavia you stand out in the crowd. I like that." Raven smiled seeing Octavia slightly blush.
Clarke watched the banter between her two friends. She couldn't believe how Raven was able to get to Octavia. She knew her best friend would never but the flirtationship they had going on was hilarious. She just wanted to make sure she didn't have to kill either them for leading each other on.
"Don't push your luck Raven." Lexa stepped up to her best friend throwing her arm around her dragging her for the door.
"She can't resist me and I know it." Raven whispered it to Lexa.
"I heard that." Octavia spouted back before laughing.
Octavia looked at Lexa who looked a little pale in the face but she could tell that Raven was helping her. Looking back at her best friend who didn't look nervous at all kind of had her shocked. Having Lexa step into the spotlight with her tonight was going to be interesting.
"Are you okay with this?" Clarke looked at Octavia laughing a little at her repeating the same words she asked Lexa.
"I'm a little worried. This is the first time I'm going out there with someone by my side along with it being her first time in front of the camera's for real." Clarke finished her make up tossed her hair a little and turned to her best friend.
"Stunning as always." Octavia approved of her best friend looks.
"Let's do this." Clarke kissed Octavia quickly a ritual they have.
"Hey hey can I get in on that." Raven spotted Clarke kissing Octavia quickly.
"Raven shut up and walk through the door." Clarke shook her head walking up to Lexa kissing her slowly and way more deep.
"None of that till we're done with this." Octavia pushed the couple towards the door.
"Ladies first." Raven held the door open for the couple to head out first.
"We all know you are doing that so you can look at Octavia's ass." Lexa said to Raven seeing her smirk.
"It's a great view." Raven winked.
"Raven." Clarke glared before seeing the cameras start flashing she turned to smile.
Lexa was a little stunned seeing all the cameras start flashing. She put on a small smile looking at everyone. She knew Clarke was a famous painter but she never expected this many people surrounding her life.
"It's okay I promise." Clarke leaned in whispering it in Lexa's ear feeling her relax a little into her side.
"Clarke Clarke can we get a picture." Clarke smiled keeping Lexa by her side.
"Can we get one of just you." Lexa loosened Clarke's hand preparing to let her go but Clarke gripped it.
"It's not just me anymore guys." Clarke pulled Lexa back into her side.
"Smooth Griffin." Raven spoke up to Octavia who was standing in the background with her.
"Can we get individuals then?" Lexa heard a different reporter and she felt impressed someone would want just a picture of her.
"Are you okay with that?" Clarke leaned in kissing Lexa on the cheek feeling the camera's snap quicker.
"Whatever they want I guess." Lexa let Clarke go this time watching her stand and smile looking amazing as always.
"Miss Black may I?" Lexa turned shocked hearing her name looking at a woman holding up a camera she didn't know what to do but turn and stand like Clarke had. Seeing the camera's flash she just nodded her head.
"Can I get an interview with you?" Lexa looked at the women holding at out a card smiling at her.
"Looks like the commander is making friends." Octavia watched Lexa step forward introducing herself taking the card with a soft smile.
"Looks like the princess might not be a fan of that one." Raven nodded towards the woman obviously flirting with Lexa seeing Clarke look that way as well.
"Let's get a move on." Octavia stepped up pushing both Clarke and Lexa away from the press heading into the house.
Clarke spotted Lexa meeting the press as she smile she also spotted the brunette handing a card to Lexa. It made her wonder what it was about but she knew it was nothing she needed to worry about. Feeling Octavia wrapping up the press they stepped into the house. The popularity wasn't over yet. This was obviously an invited dinner with some of the finest but she knew she only had to do a meet and greet.
"This place is huge." Lexa grabbed Clarke's hand walking into the building.
"Yeah it's one of those ritzy things. Kane has a tendency to show off a little when it comes to these things." Clarke smiled at people walking through the crowd to their table.
"Like what you see?" Octavia turned seeing Raven looking around at all the women.
"Not complaining." Raven raised an eyebrow at Octavia who didn't seem to approve.
"Can I get you a drink ladies?" Octavia and Raven looked at a hostess.
"I'll take a whiskey on the rocks." Octavia looked at Raven for her answer.
"Whiskey neat please." Raven smiled at the woman seeing Octavia roll her eyes.
Clarke took a seat at their table seeing the name tags placed as Lexa sat down next to her. She looked at the brunette was looking around at the room admiring the taste and disapproving of somethings. She loved that Lexa was trying to fit in this side of her life. She knew it had only been a little over a week since the gallery opening and them putting a label on their relationship to her being shoved into the press again.
"You look pretty damn sexy in that suit." Clarke bit her lip looking Lexa up and down before meeting her eyes.
"You seemed to approve of the last one as well." Lexa smirked.
"What can I say I have a thing for the strong dominant type." Clarke leaned in giving Lexa a kiss.
"Well I couldn't be happier having the most beautiful girlfriend in the room." Lexa gave Clarke a quick kiss back.
"Eeww please spare us." Raven sat down with her drink nodding at the two.
"I'm surprised to see you sitting and not mingling." Lexa looked at Raven raising an eyebrow at her.
"Octavia banned me to a chair." Raven scowled.
"Ha that's perfect." Clarke laughed seeing Raven's face and turning to see Octavia keeping her eye on the brunette.
"What did you do now?" Lexa asked.
"Nothing." Raven whined sipped her drink.
"Suuureeee." Clarke spoke up.
"Okay geez the hostess was flirting with me when she brought me my drink and who am I to turn that down." Raven smiled.
"Hmmm sounds about right." Lexa patted Raven on the leg letting her know it's okay.
"Clarke it's great to see you here." Clarke turned seeing Kane standing in front of her.
"Kane it's my pleasure and thank you for the invite." Clarke stood up hugging the man.
"Do you mind taking a walk with me. I have a few people I'd like you to meet." Clarke turned back holding her hand out for Lexa seeing her smile waving her to go.
"Are you sure?" Clarke got a little worried.
"I'm fine here with Raven." Lexa stood giving Clarke a quick kiss sitting back down she turned to Raven as Clarke walked off.
"What do you think of all of this?" Raven kicked her best friend under the table.
"It's a lot to take in." Lexa grabbed her water off the table taking a drink of it.
"Do you think you are going to be able to handle it all?" Raven knew her best friend hated being in the spotlight.
"I love Clarke all this doesn't matter as long as I have her." Lexa sat back watching her girlfriend laugh with a bunch of suits.
"Does she know that?" Raven was curious.
"No well I mean I said it to her why she was asleep one night and the other night she did the same like she had heard me but both of us haven't spoke about it since then." Lexa looked at Raven with a serious face.
"Maybe you should tell her." Raven didn't want to push but she knew her best friend had a horrible time with feelings just like Clarke.
"What are you two talking about." Octavia stepped up into what seemed like an important conversation.
"About how much you love me." Raven smirked at Octavia.
"Do you ever stop?" Octavia smirked right back at Raven.
"Not when a beautiful woman is standing in front of me." Lexa looked between Octavia and Raven seeing them give each other the stare down.
"This is where is where I leave." Lexa stood up grabbing her water sneaking away from the two with a smile on her face.
Lexa walked the room nodding every now and then at people who smiled and lifted their glass to her. She had no idea who any of them were but because they obviously knew Clarke then they knew she was Clarke's plus one as well. Checking out some of the art on the walls she noticed a few had Clarke's signature on them. This Kane person must have been someone who helped Clarke into the art world. Admiring her girlfriends work she couldn't help but smile. Turning to find Clarke in a new group of people she couldn't help but admire her beauty from a distance she fell for the blonde so quickly that she knew the woman had her heart no matter what.
"Miss Black." Lexa turned to see the same woman who handed her the card now in the building but with no camera this time.
"Hello again it's Alexandra but you can just call me Lexa." Lexa held out her greeting the woman again.
"Nice to meet you Lexa. I'm Ontari." Lexa watched the woman flash her million dollar smile.
"So can I ask you a few questions?" Lexa watched the brunette look her up and down.
"Is this on the record or off?" Lexa wasn't sure what to expect but she knew most reporters were always looking for a story.
"I'm not here working, also I'm not a reporter." Lexa was a little shocked she turned towards the woman now.
"Then what are you Ontari." Lexa thought it over it was an interesting name.
"I'm a photographer and a journalist." Lexa nodded.
"Why me?" Lexa watched the woman duck her head like she was slightly shy all of a sudden.
"Well I find your story interesting. I've seen you on the news and written a few stories regarding our boys in blue and thought it'd be interesting to get the other side of the story from the fire department. Also you are not bad to look at behind a lense." Lexa smiled this time shaking her head the woman had some decent lines and a smooth approach.
''You want to photograph me?" Lexa raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, you are the head of the fire department if I am correct and it wouldn't be a bad idea to snap a few photos and talk to you regarding my article if you agree to it." Lexa thought about it knowing she'd have to ask her team. They usually weren't ones looking for attention but it wouldn't be bad for the neighborhood area.
Clarke stood across the room glancing around for Lexa. She noticed the brunette wasn't at the table it was just Octavia and Raven obviously flirting. Turning the opposite way she seen the brunette from earlier the one who handed Lexa the card standing with her girlfriend obviously engrossed in a conversation. Tapping her glass she kept her eyes on them. The woman was flirtatious reaching out every now and then to touch Lexa's suit. It probably looked friendly enough to most but seeing the way the girls eyes kept roaming Lexa's body she knew exactly what the woman was thinking.
"Clarke what do you think?" Clarke snapped her head back to the conversation that she was not paying attention to at all.
"I'm sorry say that again?" Clarke looked at Kane feeling slightly embarrassed.
"Do you think we could get a sneak peek at your new work?" Clarke smiled shaking her head.
"I don't think so guys but let's just say it's almost finished and I might let one canvas out for viewing soon and if I do I will make sure you all get the first chance to see it." Clarke smiled at the group knowing most of them were high end buyers in the art world and they had exquisite taste and that fact that they wanted her work made her proud.
"Can you excuse me a second." Clarke smiled at the group before walking over to Octavia.
"O I need you." Clarke said it in a serious tone.
"What's up." Octavia stood seeing the look on her best friends face.
Raven sat looking at Clarke and Octavia. Something about Clarke's attitude and posture was off. She didn't seem like herself more on the edgy or extremely pissed off side. Watching the two glance back and forth Raven tried to catch their line of sight finally spotting the issue. Her best friend was standing across the room chatting up the same very attractive brunette. Seeing the girl laugh and her best friend shake her head smiling she looked back at Clarke who looked furious. Jealousy was pretty much pouring off the blonde at the moment. Raven couldn't catch what Octavia was saying to her but it was obviously something regarding her to calm down.
"Raven." Octavia stomped.
"What bossy?" Raven jumped standing up greeting both women.
"You know just about every woman in here right?" Octavia raised an eyebrow knowing Raven had made her rounds.
"Yeah is there a problem with that Octavia." Raven smirked.
"Reyes pull it together." Clarke stomped on her foot seeing her groan a little in pain.
"What the hell princess." Raven glared at Clarke.
"Who is that with Lexa?" Clarke nodded to the girl.
"I don't know she wasn't here earlier when I was wondering around." Raven looked over at the two now. Seeing the woman standing closer to Lexa as they looked at some painting she watched the girl run her finger down Lexa's suit straightening it up.
Lexa laughed at the girl in front of her. She was putting on a decent show and it made her wonder if she knew that she was here with Clarke. That Clarke was her girlfriend. The way the woman was advancing she had to admit just about any other person would have already acted on it.
"You do know that I'm here with Clarke Griffin right?" Lexa broke the ice.
"I know she is a beautiful woman." Lexa was a little shocked at the compliment.
"I told you I am a photographer I admire beauty and strength just like your girlfriend with her art." Lexa was shocked a little feeling the brunettes hand touch her jaw turning her head a little almost like Clarke did.
"So are you talking to me for an in on my girlfriend then?" Lexa bit her lip thinking there was an angle to the story.
"No actually I should probably be asking her first if I could photograph you. Also photograph the department if they agree as well." Lexa tilted her head a little so the brunettes fingers weren't touching her anymore.
"Excuse me." Clarke had enough of the hands on with her girlfriend that she noticed from across the room.
"There she is now." Lexa watched the girl named Ontari turn around and smile at Clarke who looked her up and down with disapproval.
"Yes here I am now to see my girlfriend." Clarke grabbed Lexa's hand almost in a possessive way pulling her close.
"I was just here talking to Lexa about a article I want to write about the fire department and get approval from her and you on photographing her." Lexa stood silently watching the exchanged. She had to bite her lip from laughing at Clarke because jealousy was the only thing the blonde was dealing.
"Photograph?" Clarke cocked an eyebrow at the brunette.
"Yes I mean you have to admit she is gorgeous look at her." Clarke let out a partial laugh. She knew Lexa was gorgeous but the fact that another woman was pointing it out let alone touching her had her seeing red.
"Yes this very true trust me I see it every night when.." Clarke got interrupted hearing someone come up next to her.
"Hi nice to meet you I'm Octavia." Octavia knew the world was going to explode if Clarke kept going. She could see the body language her best friend was throwing out.
"Yes the manager maybe you could help me talk them into this." Octavia looked at the woman she was jaw dropping gorgeous but glancing at Lexa her eyes were only glued to Clarke.
"Talk them into what?" Octavia smiled making it look good.
"I was hoping to get Lexa here to allow me to photograph her and maybe Clarket for an article I want to write. It will also include Lexa's job with the fire department" Octavia smiled having a feeling that wasn't what it was all about but she would bite.
"Okay well I think I'd be the best person to advise regarding that." Octavia handed her card over to the brunette.
"As for you Lexa do you have a card or a number." Lexa smiled feeling Clarke squeeze her hand in a death grip.
"I can take care of that as well." Octavia spoke up elbowing her best friend who was close to blowing steam.
"Okay sounds good. It was good talking to you Lexa." Clarke watched the woman throw a wink at her girlfriend before walking away.
"Dammmmnnn girl puts on a good show." Raven popped up from the side.
"Raven don't." Octavia pointed as for her to get her ass moving.
"Yes boss. So do you think you could be my manager as well?" Raven whispered wiggled her eyebrows at Octavia hearing her laugh.
"Clarke." Lexa tugged on the blonde who was still shooting daggers at the brunette.
"Clarke." Lexa tugged on her again making her face her.
"I don't like her." Clarke looked at Lexa then back at the girl.
"Hey." Lexa slid her hand up Clarke's cheek pulling her closer she turned her head kissing her deeply hearing a low moan she make sure the blonde knew it was only her she wanted.
"Hi." Clarke smiled leaning her head against Lexa's.
"She is no one to me but I will admit jealousy is kind of cute on you." Lexa smirked.
"I wasn't jealous." Clarke closed her eyes thinking it over knowing she was totally jealous.
"Mmmhmm whatever you say princess." Lexa laughed a little seeing Clarke pull her head back rolling her eyes.
"Okay okay maybe a little bit but she was touching all over you and being grabby. I could see her undressing you from across the room." Clarke huffed feeling Lexa pull her closer wrapping her arms around the woman she loved.
"The only one who will be undressing me is you later." Lexa whispered in the blondes ear feeling her finally laugh against her.
"I'm going to have to keep a leash on you when we go to these things. I'm starting to think the photographers might like you better." Clarke made sure to put emphasis on the photographer word knowing it was meant for the girl.
"I can't help that I look sexy in a suit." Lexa huffed a little feeling Clarke give her a small punch to the stomach.
"Let someone in here tell me you look sexy in a suit and Octavia won't be able to break it up." Clarke tilted Lexa's head checking out her jawline she loved so much before running her thumb over her girlfriend's lips.
"Yes ma'am." Lexa smirked feeling Clarke wrap her hands around her pulling her back in for a hug.
"God you two are soooo cute." Raven got all mushy and cute from behind them.
"I thought Octavia told you to go." Lexa looked at her best friend.
"She's taking care of the sexy brunette." Raven knew she was about to hear it from Clarke.
"Raven if you touch that I swear to god." Clarke turned around seeing Raven smiling knowing she just got played.
"You're an asshole." Clarke flipped off Raven laughing.
"What did she do now?" Octavia walked back up seeing her best friend flip off Raven.
"Told her that you were leaving her for me." Raven stood looking confident and directly at Octavia.
"How do you put up with her?" Octavia looked at Lexa smiling.
"That's just who she is plus when she states it then it usually comes true." Lexa laughed seeing Octavia's jaw drop.
"Care to show me around this place Miss Griffin?" Lexa whispered wrapped her arm around her girlfriend sneaking them away from their friends.
"Anything you want." Clarke linked her arm with Lexa's heading off to walk around the showings.
"I've noticed you have your name on a few of these paintings." Lexa pointed to one she liked.
"Kane is the one who noticed me first. He bought one of my first paintings I had in a free display gallery that he just randomly walked into." Clarke smiled thinking of the memory.
"So random luck?" Lexa looked at a different painting on the wall.
"Something like that but he said he usually stops in on them often looking for new talent and I was the best he's ever seen sitting in one." Clarke watched Lexa look her painting up and down.
"This is a different style than what I've seen from you." Lexa pointed at the painting it seems a little more dark.
"It was a transition period in my life." Clarke remember the piece well it was one she painted when she first found out Finn had been cheating on her.
"When do you plan on showing them one of the canvases in your studio." Lexa was curious because even she had been restricted from seeing them.
"I told Kane I'd give him the first sneak peek at it when I'm finished." Clarke tugged Lexa into a different area knowing she was curious as well but it was all about her and their relationship so eventually she needed her approval as well.
"He collects a lot." Lexa looked at a few statues.
"If you really only knew." Clarke laughed knowing he liked to flash his money.
"So not to be rude to the host but when do we get to leave this place?" Lexa was ready to loosen her suit and be less uptight.
"Come say goodbye with me and we can leave." Clarke knew she had done her meet and greets for Kane that it was okay to leave.
"Deal." Lexa smiled heading them back towards the main lobby.
"Kane." Clarke spoke up seeing the man she learned to love turn along with many others smile at her.
"Leaving so soon?" Lexa watched Kane open up his arms for a hug.
"Yeah I kind of want to get this lucky woman alone for awhile." Clarke smiled tugging Lexa closer.
"You are one lucky woman Miss Black." Lexa smiled watching Clarke hug Kane kissing her cheek and letting her go.
"Let's go commander." Clarke headed towards the door with Lexa in tote.
"Hey where are you two going?" Raven seen her best friend and Clarke heading for the door.
"We're taking off for the night but go ahead and enjoy yourself Raven." Lexa smiled at her best friend pushing Clarke out the door.
"Keep it in your pants you two." Raven turned bumping into Octavia.
"Where are they going?" Octavia scrunched up her face thinking it was too soon for them to be leaving.
"To undress each other, you know we could do the same." Raven kept her face serious judging Octavia's glare before watching the brunette blush and turn away from her. Letting her smile finally break she followed Octavia knowing it was going to be a hard to get game and she always loved a good fight.
Clarke walked hand in hand in the city streets with Lexa. She thought over the night and how the woman was fascinated by her girlfriend and how jealous she got about it. Not realizing how much this was going to effect Lexa but she realized pulling the woman into the public eye was going to attract a lot more others like the brunette because the girl was right Lexa was stunning and she wasn't sure how she got so lucky.
"What are you thinking about?" Lexa felt leaning into her as they enjoyed the cold air of the night.
"You." Clarke smiled looking up into Lexa's eyes.
"What about me?" Lexa was curious because Clarke was quiet.
"How lucky I am to have you and how I am not use to be a jealous person." Clarke shook her head thinking about how she almost blew up on the woman.
"Come here let me show you something." Lexa changed the direction of them heading them towards a park.
"Let me guess another secret place?" Clarke raised an eyebrow.
"Nope but I bet you haven't seen it." Lexa laughed thinking about it but she knew Clarke wouldn't say no.
"Really?" Clarke looked at Lexa seeing them walking in the park but towards an ice cream vendor.
"What too cliche?" Lexa smirked.
"No but it's freezing out." Clarke watched Lexa shrug off her jacket putting it around her.
"Now that you are warmer what's your poison?" Lexa laughed watching Clarke grin ear to ear.
"Mmm strawberry." Clarke watched Lexa look at her differently.
Lexa looked at Clarke she was shocked about the answer but then again nothing about Clarke was typical. She thought about what Raven said about telling Clarke she loved her but she couldn't figure out if it was too soon. She heard Clarke say it but after the night they had and then the following day she didn't want to say it was just an emotional overload but it could have been. Could she really be lucky enough to have the woman fall in love with her.
"What?" Clarke couldn't figure out why Lexa was looking at her oddly.
"Just wasn't expecting strawberry." Lexa smiled shaking off the feeling to spill her guts.
"Come on commander." Clarke took the brunettes hand walking them around the park. It was funny she got strawberry but the last thing she expected from the brunette was mint chocolate chip.
"Tonight wasn't so bad." Lexa spoke up knowing tonight was her first time out at an event with Clarke.
"I'm glad you thought so. It isn't always like this but after the gallery and the mention of new work and of course my relationship with you my name seems to be trending." Clarke laughed thinking about it.
"I was surprised people knew my name." Lexa thought it over.
"Yeah they tend to dig till they can find everything and anything so hopefully you don't have any sketchy secrets." Clarke looked at Lexa not seeing anything register on her face.
"Nope pretty clean slate that I can think of." Lexa hoped they left her military past in the past.
"So where are you taking me now?" Clarke looked around not sure of where they were.
"To this big round circle over here." Lexa wasn't telling the whole truth to Clarke just yet.
Clarke stepped around the corner with Lexa stopping dead in her tracks. They were in a garden of some type with a huge fountain in the middle. It was absolutely stunning and could make a gorgeous painting.
"What is this place?" Clarke looked at Lexa dropping her hand towards the fountain.
Lexa stood back waiting for it. Little did Clarke know the second she stepped over the holes it was going to spray up water at her. She held her laugh back so that Clarke wouldn't catch her. Watching the blonde touch a few flowers spinning around looking at the whole entire place. She spotted a kids playground off to one side thinking this had to be a huge family place as well. Walking towards the fountain she wished she had some change to toss in it. Spotting nothing in the fountain she was confused and side stepped. Hearing something suck in air below her she looked down right as water came spraying out soaking her from head to toe before she screamed and stepped back on another spot hearing the same noise she started to freak out trying to avoid the water from hitting her before she felt strong arms wrap around her.
"You set me up." Clarke screamed before laughing.
"I couldn't help but watching you admire the park." Lexa tucked her head over Clarke's shoulder slowly walking them towards another spot that would shoot up water.
"Don't you dare." Clarke was already soaked and slightly freezing.
"Ohhh but we're going too." Lexa pulled Clarke up in her arms not letting her squirm away standing them right over the top of the grate hearing the water about to shoot up at them she heard Clarke scream turning around trying to duck her face.
Lexa laughed hearing Clarke laugh as she picked her up swinging her around in a circle. She couldn't help but love that laugh. Pulling her in closer she felt Clarke wrap her legs around her as she kept twirling them around before stepping them off the spot letting the water stop.
"You're going to pay for this." Clarke clung to Lexa feeling her walk them away from the water.
"It was totally worth it." Lexa laughed feeling Clarke bite down on her neck a little.
"You ruined my ice cream." Clarke pouted.
"We can pick some up but I think our best bet is to change out of these clothes now." Lexa felt Clarke shiver a little knowing both of them were freezing already.
"Truth and if I get sick you're taking care of me." Clarke pulled back leaning in to kiss Lexa not wanting to slide out of her arms.
"So my apartment is closer than your loft. Where should we go?" Lexa knew they had been staying more at her loft then her apartment so she wasn't sure what to do.
"Your apartment is just fine. Plus your shower has some pretty good memories with it." Clarke laughed thinking of the first time they stayed together in Lexa's place.
"I have no problem with a repeat but am I carrying you the whole way?" Lexa stopped outside of the park looking at Clarke's smirk.
"Maybe and body heat does warm me up." Clarke watching Lexa shake her head before dropping her.
"Awwww." Clarke pouted not wanting to walk in the cold.
"Jump on." Lexa bent down decided that a piggyback ride was the best bet if she was about to walk eight blocks and two hills.
"You don't have too I can manage or we can grab a quick cab." Clarke couldn't help but check out her girlfriend's ass in a wet pair of suit pants.
"Clarke this is your last." Lexa was cut off feeling Clarke jump on her back making her let out a loud huff of breath and wobble a little.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Clarke started laughing feeling Lexa adjust her on her back.
"Only for you." Lexa hiked Clarke up higher on her back as she started to walk. Clarke felt like almost nothing on her back compared to everything else she has carried in her life.
Clarke looked around what was considered Lexa's neighborhood as they started to head up the hills to her apartment. It was different seeing the difference only a few blocks could make when it came to a change of scenery. She was shocked she didn't even hear Lexa with labored breathing or anything carrying her but then again she knew the brunette had been in the military and she was probably almost nothing to carry. Leaning down placing a kiss on her cheek she rested her head on the girl's shoulder thinking about them. She remembered the other night when she broke out letting that four letter word slip to the brunette. She had vaguely heard Lexa whisper it but she didn't expect herself to say it back but Lexa had a way with her.
"Okay here we are." Lexa let Clarke hop down as they walked into the elevator to her apartment.
"I hate the cold did I tell you that." Clarke shivered even as she smiled.
"Yes I know you are a beach bum but I promise to start the shower for you the second were both through the door." Lexa started to unbutton her shirt pulling it out of her pants.
"Stripping already." Clarke raised an eyebrow.
"You are not the only one freezing." Lexa felt herself shiver as she slipped off her shirt standing now in just a tank top and pants.
"Mmm." Clarke couldn't stop herself from checking out her girlfriend.
"Let's go." Lexa ran out of the elevator down to her door unlocking it quickly.
"Shower now." Clarke started to unbutton her blouse when she felt Lexa's fingers take over removing her blouse and dropping her hands to her pants as well to take them off.
"Got any plans." Clarke tried to not pay attention to the feeling of Lexa's fingers.
"Yes body heat." Lexa smirked stripping off the rest of her clothes seeing Clarke run for the shower.
"Ohhhh my god." Clarke all but screamed it feeling the hot water pour down on her body.
"That almost sounds as good as when I'm making you say it." Lexa stepped in behind Clarke stealing some of the hot water by hugging the blonde.
"Has to be the best two things ever." Clarke felt herself warm up with the hot water and the feeling of Lexa's naked body against her.
"Lexa I.." Clarke felt her voice stop again she wanted to tell her but she couldn't get it out just yet no matter how much she felt it in her heart.
"Yes Clarke?" Lexa pulled back a little not sure what to think of Clarke's hesitation.
"I'm sorry about being jealous." Clarke covered.
"You are the only person with my heart Clarke." Lexa knew what it meant and she had a feeling she knew what Clarke had just wanted to say but she couldn't. Tipping the blondes head up she kissed her until they melted together not just from the heat but from the love Lexa was pouring into the kiss.
A/N Clarke seen a little red with Lexa being in the spotlight as well lol What did everything think? Also next chapter up is going to be a little bit more personal between the girls regarding some of Lexa's past. We're getting closer to the end of this fic with each chapter so if you have any new ideas for my next story run them by me. Thanks for sticking with me. xoxoxo
