AN: I'm back with chapter seven! Disclaimer: I don't owe the 100 or any of its character, all right to the CW, I just owe the journey they are in. Enjoy!
The sun raised and shined through the curtains, it made the light go all over Clarke's face. Raven and Octavia was still sleeping. They usually slept on each their guestroom, Clarke has two guestrooms, one upstairs and one across the hall. At this sleepover, they all slept in Clarke's master double bed.
"Morning…" Octavia stretched her arms.
"Morning" Clarke got up and got dressed. She shook a little on Raven's leg to wake her. "Hey, Rae. Wake up sleepyhead"
"ugh, morning" Raven sat up and leaned against the wall. "I had the most beautiful dream ever!"
Clarke got curious and sat of the edge of the bed, Octavia pushed her pillow against the wall and rested on her hand. Raven had their attention.
"Okay, Luna and I were in my apartment. We were watching a movie, titanic, the room was dark but the candles lit up the room a little, I know very romantic. She kissed me on the cheek and took my hand, then she rested her head on my shoulder. And when I thought it couldn't be better, I heard a little girl called "Mom!" and started running towards me. This beautiful little girl embraced me. I had her in my arms and Luna by my side. It was beautiful"
"Wow!" Clarke placed her hand on her heart.
"That's so sweet!" Octavia looked at Clarke, then at Raven.
They got dressed and made breakfast. They talked a little about what they were going to do on Christmas day.
"Clarke, do you think Abby and Kane will be joining us on Christmas?" Octavia asked.
"I don't think so. I haven't talked to them in months"
Raven took Clarkes hand and smiled. After they finished their coffee, they moved to the couch and started talking.
"Hey, you're not sad because you're not celebrating Christmas with your mother this year?" Raven asked as she noticed Clarke was looking a little down.
"No…" She answered a little insecure. "Maybe a little… she is my mother after all … we have always celebrated it together"
"Why don't you reach out to her?" Octavia asked.
"I guess I'm still mad because she hasn't accepted me for who I am… and I haven't forgiven her for how she treated Niylah"
"have you talked to Niylah since the day we met her at her Cafe" Raven asked.
"No"
Raven scooped closer to Clarke. "Do you miss her?"
"Of course, I do … or did" Clarke sighed. "I don't know, it's been a long time and she have probably moved on. I know I have"
"You have moved on?" Octavia scooped closer to Clarke.
"I think so" she smiled. The three of them shared a long good hug.
"LET'S WATCH ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK" Raven turned the tv on.
"No, no, no!" Lexa yelled at the phone. "I want it done tonight!". She hung up, sighed and sat down on her chair looking at her papers. Someone knocked on the door.
"Yes, come in"
Titus came in and closed the door after himself. "Heda, Costia want to talk to you, should I let her in?" Titus asked with his hands on his back.
"Yes, let her in"
Titus opened the door for Costia. "Leave us" Lexa said to Titus. "Hey, please sit down" Lexa pointed at the chair.
"Hey…" Costia nervously said. "look, you're my best friend. When you told me that you loved me in 'that' way… I was scared … I-I didn't know how to react … I guess I've been feeling the same way but I didn't want to admit it. I didn't want to screw up what we had"
Lexa was smiling.
"I left town so I didn't have to think about you, still you were the only one I could think about"
Lexa chuckled.
"Then I started thinking" Costia took Lexa's hand. "We already screwed it up, so why not go for it?"
Lexa was thinking. Yes, she had feelings for Costia, but does she still have feelings for her? She knows for sure that she has feelings for Clarke.
"look, Costia…" Lexa began. "I love you so much…"
"But I'm too late" Costia smiled. Lexa nodded.
"I'm sorry, Cos"
"Yeah, no, I understand. It's the blonde, right?" Costia pulled away her hand, still surprisingly not mad.
"Yeah" Lexa smiled. "We are actually having lunch soon".
"oh yeah? How nice!" Costia got up. "Well, I have to go, got a meeting with Echo".
"Bye" Lexa smiled.
She sighed. Left alone with her thoughts. She could hear Titus voice in her head saying 'love is weakness'. For a few years she has always believed that love is weakness. But after she met Clarke, damn. Love is strength. She smiled to herself and kept looking at her papers. After reading her papers she picked up her phone.
Brunette: Hey
Clarke: Hey
Brunette: What do you want to eat for lunch?
Clarke: Hmm… I don't know, what do you want to eat?
Brunette: Well, I would kill for a sandwich from Café Niy!
Clarke: oh, no no no
Brunette: No?
Clarke: Niylah works there
Brunette: You can't avoid her forever you know
Clarke: I know… :/
Brunette: You don't have to go there, let's get food somewhere else
Clarke: Now I feel bad
Brunette: For what?
Clarke: I can't get you the sandwiches because I'm too afraid that I'll run into Niylah
Brunette: Oh, Clarke. Don't feel bad, It's okay :)
Clarke: I'm getting you those sandwiches ;)
Brunette: are you sure?
Clarke: Everything for you
Brunette: Awe, how sweet!
Clarke: Do you want the same sandwich you ordered last time?
Brunette: Yes :)
Clarke: See you later
Brunette: See ya
Lexa smiled at the phone. She was really looking forward to lunch.
"Why are you smiling?" Octavia nudged Clarke on the arm.
Clarke just beamed more. "Lexa". Octavia and Raven smirked. "Well, I think I'm going to take a quick shower, while I'm in there could you pick out an outfit for me to wear? Remember it's a lunch not a date, so please not a dress"
Clarke made her way up to the bathroom while Octavia and Raven looked after clothes in her walk-in closet.
"Black jeans?" Octavia pulled up Clarke's black jeans.
"Yeah, and this white shirt"
"Yeah! With this black jacket" Octavia build Raven's sentence.
"Damn O! We're a good team" Raven put her arm around Octavia.
"Hell yeah"
"Hey look!" Raven spotted a gray crop top and picked it up. "This one is nice, I'm gonna borrow it"
"You do that" Octavia laughed and they left the room.
"Why does she get to have this master double bed, when Lincoln and me only gets a normal double bed" Octavia planted her face on the bed.
"I don't know O, I don't know" She sat beside Octavia and stroke her back.
They sat like this for a few good minutes.
"Is something wrong?" Clarke entered the bedroom with a towel around her.
"Nah, your clothes are in there" Octavia pointed at the walk-in closet. Clarke smiled a thankful smile and let out a 'okay' on her way to the walk-in closet.
"Wish me good luck guys, I'm picking up some sandwiches"
"Wait, from Café Niy?" Raven asked. She got a simple 'yep' from Clarke.
"How do I look?" She posed.
"Beautiful" Octavia smiled. "Let's go".
Octavia and Raven was going home. They hugged Raven goodbye. Octavia and Clarke said goodbye on the parking lot.
She was really doing this. For the first time, she was going to Café Niy and face her fears. She was ready to move on.
She got chills when she entered the door. The smell of fresh sandwiches, buns and coffee was delightful. She liked Café's that wasn't too big, but not too small either. It wasn't overcrowded so you could relax. She missed this place. She saw Niylah behind the counter and walked up there.
"Hey, I will have a sandwich number five and three, with two coffee's with milk, - to go please" Clarke smiled at Niylah.
Niylah smiled. "Okay". She turned the coffee machine on and took the two new baked sandwiches from the shelf behind her. "And hey, it's nice to see you again" Niylah said while handing the sandwiches over.
"Clarke? OH CLARKE!"
"Oh hey, Ally!" Clarke opened her arms for Niylah's younger sister. She's the same age as Clarke. Ally embraced Clarke. "Long time no see! I missed you so much!"
"I've missed you too, Ally"
Ally held around Clarke's waist, looking at Clarke then at Niylah and back at Clarke again. "Wait, are you two together again?" Ally gaped.
"No" Clarke laughed, causing Niylah to smile.
Ally was confused. "What, why? Are you seeing someone or something?" Ally let out a short laugh.
"Well, I'm having lunch with someone" She smiled at Niylah as she handed her the two coffees'.
"oh, well" Ally said. "It was nice to see you again"
"Always nice to see you guys, I will come by more often from now on, promise" Clarke opened her purse and was about to pay Niylah.
"You better" Ally pointed at Clarke and disappeared behind the shelfs.
Niylah finally came back to reality and slowly pushed Clarke's hand backwards. "oh, no need for that, it's on the house"
"Thanks"
It felt like she had to say something. She was just standing there, waiting for the words to fall out of her.
"Bye" Niylah waved.
Clarke waved back and left the Café. As she got in the car, she put down the sandwiches and Coffee's and turned on the radio. She checked herself in the mirror and started driving. 15 minutes till she got to see Lexa.
It takes 20 minutes from Clarke to Lexa, 5 minutes from Clarke to Café Niy and 15 minutes from Café Niy to Lexa. It's cool that Lexa's penthouse, the building is called Polis, is next to her work office, that is the building next to Polis.
She parked her car outside the building and walked inside. She pulled up her phone and texted Lexa.
Blondie: I'm here :)
Brunette: Great! I'll come down
Blondie: I'll be waiting :)
It only took a minute or two before Clarke heard the elevator doors pling and open. She walked to Lexa and handed her a sandwich and a coffee.
"Hi, thanks" Lexa hugged Clarke.
"Hi" Clarke happily hugged back.
"Everything alright?" Lexa looked at Clarke.
"Yeah, yeah" She smiled.
"How much do I owe you? For this" Lexa lifted the sandwich and coffee up.
"It was on the house"
"oh, really? How nice of them"
The elevator doors opened and Clarke was the first one to leave it. Of course, this was the top floor. Lexa's office was the one in the end of the hall. Her office was twice as big as the others. She was offered to have the top floor for herself, but she didn't think that was necessary. There were only five offices on the top floor, Lexa, Indra, Costia, Anya and Titus.
"Well, hello. I'm Anya" She reached out her hand for Clarke.
"Hello, I'm Clarke" She shook it with pleasure.
"Hmm, Clarke?" Anya smirked at Lexa. "So, you are the beautiful blonde Lexa is always talking about"
Clarke laughed.
"shut up" Lexa grinned. "Let's go Clarke" Clarke followed Lexa. As they were a few meters from Lexa's office, Indra got out of hers.
"Clarke? What are you doing here?" Indra asked. "It's not a problem with Arkadia again, is it?"
"No, no" Clarke touched Indra's hand. "We are actually having lunch"
Indra was a little confused. "It may not be my business but, are you having lunch to talk about business or just having lunch?"
Lexa and Clarke chuckled. "Lunch, Indra. Now go and enjoy yours, and that's an order" Lexa joked.
"Yes boss" Indra straightened her back and nodded. "Bye, Clarkie"
Clarke closed her eyes and tried not to smile.
"Clarkie?" Lexa chuckled.
"Yeah, that's the nickname my mom gave me when I was little, Indra used it too. She obviously still uses it"
It made Lexa laugh. She lead Clarke in to her office. They sat down on the couch. "What, you didn't get any nicknames from your parents?" Clarke bumped her legs in to Lexa's.
"No, my mom died after she had me, and I've never seen my father before. He left my mom when he found out that she was pregnant" Lexa smiled a fake smile.
"oh… I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to bring up such an emotional theme" Clarke put her hands on Lexa's shoulders and tried to calm her down. A few tears ran down Lexa's cheek.
"No, It's okay. They were sixteen, he didn't know better. My grandmother was the one that had to take care of me. She wasn't exactly a loving grandma. She passed away when I was around 6, and I got sent to a foster home. I was actually really lucky, because I got this great foster home with loving people who opened their arms for me. After a few years they adopted me. That's when I became Lexa Woods"
It took a few seconds for Clarke to process it. "Wow. I don't know what to say, I'm sorry you lost your mother and that your father bailed. But I'm happy you found a family. I have to say, I'm a bit shocked"
Lexa let out a short chortle. "Well, if you think that was shocking, wait till I tell you who my sister is"
"Who is it?"
"We met her when we got out of the elevator" Lexa smiled.
"Indra?" Clarke asked a little shocked. Thinking it would be weird since Indra is Octavia and Bellamy's mother, then Lexa would be their aunt.
"No!" Lexa bursted into laughter, causing Clarke to laugh along. "It's Anya, you blonde" Lexa teased.
"Heyy!" Clarke nudged Lexa on the shoulder. "I'm actually really smart"
"I bet you are"
Clarke took a bite of her sandwich and nodded. "I've missed these sandwiches"
"We should go there more often" Lexa took a bite of her sandwich.
"We?" Clarke smiled at Lexa.
Lexa widened her eyes. "yeah, well, ugh" she nervously waved her hand and was thinking hard about what to say. "I thought maybe we could eat there sometimes together, and as a bonus you get to see Niylah"
Clarke just smiled at Lexa's words. "You're encouraging me to see my ex, you know that?" she chuckled.
"Well yeah, I want you to be able to talk to her, but It doesn't mean I'm encouraging you to get with her again" Lexa took a sip of her coffee.
"You don't want me to get together with Niylah again?" Clarke made eye contact with Lexa. They looked at each other for a good moment. Lexa continued eating her sandwich. After they finished their sandwich they started talking again.
"You have something there" Clarke touched herself on the cheek to show Lexa where the little piece of salad was. Lexa thought she had wiped it away, but she didn't. Clarke tried to guide her with saying which direction she had to move her finger. Clarke giggled at Lexa's attempt to remove the little salad piece. Clarke carefully laid her hand on Lexa's cheek and removed the piece of salad. Green eyes met blue eyes. Clarke slowly leaned against Lexa.
