It's just a little crush

Chapter 14

Four days had passed since Lexa had come home from the hospital and she was starting to get a little stir crazy. Raven had been really great and was good company, but with neither of them being able to drive, they couldn't get out of the house and do much. They had been for a few short walks around the block but they couldn't go too far. Lexa was desperate to go somewhere and spend a few hours out of the house. She looked at her phone and saw it was just after midday; Clarke would be on her break at work so she decided to text her.

Lexa- Hey babe, hope your day is going well. I have a severe case of cabin fever, can we please do something outside of the house tonight?

Clarke- Are you sure you are up to it? How are you feeling?

Clarke- My day is going well btw, I miss you though.

Lexa- I miss you too and yes I am up to it!

Lexa- As much as I love this house and Raven, and our movie nights, I really need to get out.

Clarke- Ok, it's a date. See you later beautiful :)

Lexa smiled as she read back through her conversation with Clarke a few times, she was excited to be able to go and do something with her girlfriend, although she had no idea at this point what they would be doing. She was a little anxious about her current appearance; luckily her injured eye was now able to open properly although it was still very bruised. The bandage on her head had been changed by Clarke every couple of days, but she had to keep it on there until her stitches had dissolved completely to keep germs out of the wound. So it meant that she had a white bandage wrapped around her head like some sort of odd headband with her hair sticking out of the back, she realised that it probably looked hilarious to other people, and some might stare at her when they were out but she was too excited to be leaving the house to care.

She spent the next few hours watching various Netflix programmes with Raven and helping her to make bracelets. Lexa was amazed at all the different colour beads and accessories Raven had and how passionate she got when she was making jewellery, her tongue would stick out in concentration and her brows would be furrowed together as she threaded a new bead on to the string. Lexa decided to make Clarke a bracelet with Raven's help that had beads the same shade of blue as her girlfriends eyes, a sentiment that didn't go unnoticed by Raven.

"You two are so in love it's sickening" Raven said with a laugh.

"Your friend is very easy to love, she's amazing" Lexa replied as she felt her cheeks burn with embarrassment.

"She sure is amazing" Raven answered with a smile. She couldn't argue with the fact that Clarke was amazing. After the car crash that had killed her father and injured Raven she was there for her friend every step of the way as she recovered. Even through her own grief and heartache she supported Raven in such an incredible way that Raven had been in awe. It took a strong person to be there for other people when your own world had been turned upside down. Raven had also been there for Clarke on the days the grief was too much and all she could do was cry, the both held each other up against the waves and it had brought them even closer than they had been before.

Raven realised she had been in her own world and thoughts when she felt a tear roll down her cheek and Lexa's arm on her own.

"Are you ok Raven?" Lexa asked gently.

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I was just thinking about Clarke and how she was there for me after the crash and never made me feel like a burden even though she was going through the pain of losing her own dad. I probably wouldn't have made it through it without her" Raven replied softly.

"I know from what she had told me, that you helped her to carry on and stay strong too, you are both incredibly strong and I'm so proud of you both and I'm glad you have each other" She said with a smile.

"I'm glad too, and I'm really happy we have you in our lives too. You complete this little group" Raven replied as her cheeks turned the brightest shade of red and her hand instantly covered her mouth before laughing and saying "That was really corny wasn't it?"

"It was sweet and I'm glad to have you in my life too. It's amazing to think that all of this is because you were the one who was employed as my assistant" Lexa spoke with a sense of amazement.

The girls carried on making their bracelets and talking. Lexa always enjoyed spending time with Raven; she was so easy to get on with and was so unintentionally funny. She also thought her sassiness and quick tongue reminded her of her older sister and she found that endearing. Lexa could see why Raven and Clarke were such good friends, they had a few similarities but they were opposite in a good ways that meant they balanced each other out. They seemed to have a mutual understanding and appreciation of each other. They finished their bracelets just as Clarke walked through the door, seeing the girls surrounded by boxes of beads and junk food wrappers she couldn't help but laugh.

"Wow you girls have been... erm...busy?" Clarke said with chuckle as she walked over to Lexa and kissed her on the cheek.

"We were bored and decided to be creative" Raven laughed as she rolled her eyes at Clarke.

"I made you this" Lexa spoke as she proudly handed Clarke the completed bracelet.

"Oh wow, Lex I love it! Thank you and you done well to make it one handed" Clarke replied with a smile.

"She had help" Raven quipped.

Clarke told Lexa that they should both get changed as they would be leaving to go out soon. Raven and Octavia had plans so it would just be the two of them. Lexa slowly made her way upstairs and looked in her suitcase for something she could wear, luckily she had packed a few outfits that would be deemed acceptable to wear out and went with a pair of skinny jeans and a tank top and button down shirt that could be easily placed over the cast on her arm. Clarke got herself changed then helped Lexa to get dressed and once finished she stood back and smiled.

"You look beautiful Lexa" Clarke beamed.

"Yeah, just ignore the bandage, bruised eye and massive cast" Lexa laughed.

"Shh, you still look beautiful" Clarke replied as she stepped closer to Lexa and their lips crashed together.

The girls kissed for a few minutes more before Clarke broke the kiss and said that they needed to leave or they would be late. They made their way downstairs, saying goodbye to Raven as they exited the house and were soon in the car and on their way. A short drive later they pulled into the car park of a movie theatre.

"I thought we could see a movie, as it won't be too strenuous for you" Clarke said as she squeezed Lexa's thigh.

"What are we going to see?" Lexa asked curiously.

"It's a surprise, I already have the tickets" Clarke replied back with a smirk.

The girls made their way into the theatre and brought popcorn and a drink to share, the theatre was pretty empty so they chose the best seats that would have the best view of the screen. After ten minutes of trailers the movie finally started, as soon as she heard the opening music Lexa knew exactly what movie it was.

"Star Wars!" she exclaimed a little too loudly to Clarke receiving a hearty laugh from the blonde sat next to her.

Lexa was a self proclaimed nerd, she loved Star Wars and had seen all of the previous movies and was so excited for the new instalment to come out. She had wanted to see it at the cinema as soon as it had come out but that happened to be the day she had been injured. She wasn't sure if Clarke would want to watch it either as it wasn't everyone's thing. So she was so thrilled that Clarke had brought her to this movie and was going to sit through it with her.

Lexa was so into the movie that it made Clarke smile at how wide her girlfriend's eyes were and how happy she looked. About three quarters of the way through the movie Lexa felt Clarke's hand on her knee, she looked at Clarke and briefly gave her a smile before turning her attention back to the movie. Clarke slowly ran her hand past Lexa's knee and further up her thigh stopping near the crotch of her jeans before moving her hand back down to her knee and repeating the process. It made Lexa get goosebumps and sent shivers down her spine. It had felt like an eternity since Clarke's hands had been near where she would love them to be the most. As the movie ended Lexa cupped Clarke's cheek in her hand and kissed her passionately before the theatre lights were turned on again.

The girls left the theatre and made their way to the car, stopping off to pick up a pizza on the way home. They arrived in the driveway and entered the house, pizza in tow. Raven had gone out with Octavia so they had the house to themselves for a few more hours. They got comfy on the couch and shared the pizza, although they couldn't seem to keep their hands, or hand in Lexa's case, off each other.

After all the pizza had been eaten Clarke threw the box in the bin and took Lexa's left hand and pulled her up from the couch. Clarke gently pulled Lexa towards her and their lips collided together in an embrace that made both girls moan. They enjoyed the kiss for a while before Clarke suddenly broke it and led Lexa up the stairs. Once in Clarke's bedroom they sat on the end of her bed as their lips met again and this time Lexa deepened the kiss with a swipe of her tongue that sent electricity through Clarke's whole body. Lexa was desperate to feel more of Clarke and pulled her body closer to her with her good arm and ran her fingers through her hair. Clarke broke the kiss and placed light kisses along Lexa's neck and collar bones, making sure to be careful not to go near any of her injuries. Lexa had already removed her shirt and Clarke very carefully guided the tank top up over her body and threw it onto the floor, she ran her hands over Lexa's chest and gripped the swell of her breast with just enough pressure to make Lexa moan again. Lexa was just about to help Clarke remove her own shirt when the blonde stood up from the bed and removed it herself and took her jeans of too. Lexa gasped and tried to take her own jeans off but it proved an impossible task with only the use of one hand. Clarke carefully laid Lexa back and guided her jeans off before getting into the bed and lying down next to her and pulling the covers over them both.

"Goodnight Lex" Clarke said as she rolled over so she was facing away from Lexa.

"Really Clarke, you can't leave me like this" Lexa sighed with a slightly desperate tone of voice.

"A little hot and bothered are we babe?" Clarke said as she rolled back over to face Lexa who was lying on her left side, the only way she could comfortably at the moment.

"Well it has been a while since we, you know" The brunette winked in response.

"Hmm, but you are still too injured for that. We can't have you hurting yourself even more now can we" Clarke smirked.

"But...I want you" Lexa whined.

"I promise you it will be worth the wait" Clarke replied as she ran a finger along Lexa's bottom lip before kissing it lightly.
