For the second time in a week Lexa woke up with a certain blonde in her arms. Entangled limbs and blonde hair splayed across her shoulder, and Clarke's arm draped across her stomach. She tilted her head, resting her cheek on top of the blonde's head. This is nice…if only it were real. She thought to herself. She felt Clarke stir and she was afraid that the blonde was waking but she only hummed and moved further into the crook of Lexa's neck while her hand slid just under the brunette's shirt. Lexa sucked in a breath as nails scraped against her skin. She once again, had to tell her heart to settle down as it threatened to beat out of her chest.
She didn't want Clarke to wake up and find them like this. Even though they had spoken a little about it last night, she knew it would be weird between them if Clarke woke with them lying like this. And that was something she absolutely did not want. As much as she didn't want to, Lexa carefully extracted herself from the sleeping blonde. After gathering her things she left a note for Clarke to find, not wanting Clarke to think she was running away. Because, honestly, she had no idea what was running through Clarke's mind. She could only hope that whatever was going on wasn't one sided. She left a note on the night stand before slipping out of the room, heading towards the pool.
Clarke woke up a little later, surprised to see she was alone in the room though admittedly she was a bit relieved about not having to face Lexa. She rolled over, spotting her name on a folded piece of paper. She let out a little smile as she reached for the note and read it.
Hey Princess,
I know you'll miss waking up without me there, but I couldn't sleep. Went to the pool to swim a few laps. Hope it's cool with you, I'll probably come back to your room to shower. There's no telling what my sister and your best friend have done to my room and I'm a little afraid to find out, especially after last time. Most of my stuff is in your room anyway, and I wouldn't want you to miss out on all this awesomeness anyway.
-Your Commander ;)
"Oh my God, she's such a dork." Clarke said to no one in particular. But Clarke loved the fact that Lexa was able to be herself around Clarke. Since they still had a few hours until checkout Clarke decided to join Lexa in the pool for a bit. She quickly changed into her bikini and gathered her things, secretly hoping Lexa forwent the swimming trunks she put over her bottoms the other day.
When Clarke entered the indoor pool the good mood she had had anticipating seeing her friend quickly disappeared when she saw the redhead from last night laughing at something Lexa had said. Jealously returned full force when said redhead reached out and touched the brunette's arm, she quickly turned around and almost made it back to the door when-
"Clarke!" She heard the familiar voice yell and by the sound of water hitting the ground and wet feet hitting the ground, she knew Lexa was walking towards her. She slowly turned towards the voice and she swore she forgot out to breathe as she saw Lexa walking towards her, soaking wet and in a green bikini, making her tan skin look even darker. Oh God. She had too busy eying the brunette and trying to calm her heart, to miss Lexa checking her out. "You weren't leaving, were you?"
"Uh, no…I just realized I forgot my phone upstairs." She lied, "I'm just going to run and get it."
"You'll be fine without it." Lexa said and grabbed her hand, leading her towards the pool. "Come on."
"I don't want to interrupt anything." She muttered with a bit of a tone and made a gesture towards the redhead who was eyeing them. Lexa briefly looked at the redhead before her attention went back to Clarke, smiling at her.
"Trust me, you're not interrupting anything." She took Clarke's things, setting them onto a nearby table. "And I told you I have my eye on someone else. Besides you know what?" Lexa smirked.
"What?"
"I think you need a cool off." She said, simultaneously picking Clarke up bridal style.
"Lexa!" Clarke shrieked as the brunette started walking towards the pool. "Don't you dare!"
"Sorry Princess!" Lexa yelled just before she jumped in the pool with Clarke in her arms. The blonde came up sputtering water and while Lexa was busy laughing, Clarke jumped on her taking her back under water. This time they both came up laughing, Clarke's arms around Lexa's shoulders while Lexa's arms were loosely around Clarke's waist. The laughter died down and they got lost in each other for a few seconds, then heard someone clearing their throat from behind them. Both looked at the redhead that wore a bit of an irritated look and Clarke wondered if it was just her presence or the fact that Lexa's attention of no longer on her. "Oh Nikki, you remember my friend Clarke. Clarke you remember, Nikki plays…sorry I can't remember what position you said you played."
"Center fielder."
"Right, she's the center fielder for Greenwood."
"Oh, right. I think I remember you." Clarke said, trying play nice even though she knew she didn't like the other girl.
"Yeah, I remember you from the other day. Again, that was a good game you threw against us."
"Yeah, the Princess is pretty awesome." Lexa added and Clarke gave her a look.
"Your being awfully nice today." Lexa panicked for a second, was she being too obvious?
"Just buttering you up before I do this." She dunked her underwater again. Clarke came up sputtering and coughing again, she'd definitely got some water that time.
"Jerk!" They started chasing and playing with each other again, totally forgetting that the redhead was still there. She finally gave up on getting the brunette's number and went back to join her friends.
A/N: That's right bitch! You're not getting Lexa's number! That's totally what Clarke would have thought if she read that line. Anyway, not a long chapter but just some playful flirting for our girls before real stuff starts to develop. Thank you guys for reading...please keep on reviewing. I love reading them. And who else loves the stuff going around about little Fish? Who knows what I'm talking about?
