AN: Hey, I know I've been posting some chapters a little late, so I made this one longer :) Hope you like it!
"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.
"Heda!" Titus opened the door. Lexa startled. "Jesus Christ Titus! Knock on the damn door!"
"My apologies, Heda" He bow his head. "It will never happen again, I promise"
"What is so urgent that you had to burst into my office" Lexa asked with her serious voice.
He looked at Clarke, telling Lexa with his eyes that he couldn't tell her because Clarke was sitting there.
"Excuse me, Clarke" Lexa touched her thigh. Clarke smiled and let her know it was okay. She watched Lexa as she got up and argued with him. Titus looked like he was an afraid little boy getting yelled at his mom. Clarke had to smile because seeing Lexa this 'serious' was so hot. Titus nodded and Lexa closed the door. Lexa leaned on the door and exhaled.
"What?" Lexa let out a short laugh.
"Nothing" she grinned.
Lexa sat down next to Clarke. Admiring each other. Clarke had never felt this way about someone she had only known a few days. They had this connection. Clarke honestly wished Lexa was her girlfriend. She couldn't just say 'I wish you were my girlfriend' poor girl, she could scare the brunette away for good. She didn't know Lexa well, but she could tell that Lexa was the one.
"What are you thinking about?"
Clarke shook of her thoughts. "Nothing important"
"This may come out of the blue but, how come you don't have to work in two weeks and I have to work my ass off every weekday?"
"Well, I worked my ass off for the position I'm in now, and when I reached my goal I worked twice as hard. It was not easy to lead a whole corporation at age 19. I worked on every weekday for five years with only days off when it was Christmas and other celebrations. When I was 24, I hired people to help me with the small decisions, I still had to confirm their choices. So, all I had to do was reading a lot of papers and emails, go to meetings, stop by the office and sometimes go on business trips. The best part is that I can read my papers and emails at home" Clarke smiled.
"Wait, I've been leading twelve corporations in six years now, maybe I could hire some people" Lexa suggested and was actually thinking of doing it.
"I think you should, then it would be more time to hang out with friends and family" Clarke happily smiled. "And I don't see the problem with more people calling you boss or Heda"
"This is indeed a good idea" Lexa smiled. Clarke nodded along.
"You have a beautiful smile, you know that?" Clarke complimented Lexa.
Lexa blushed. She was a little insecure whether she would believe Clarke or not. The last time someone called her 'beautiful' that person stole millions from her. A lot of people wanted her money. Titus and the others have wanted to hire bodyguards for Lexa, because she would be a target for most people. But Lexa refuses to hire bodyguards, she didn't want to get treated differently. Everyone in the coalition know who she is, and they are all respecting her, even the people from Azgeda company.
"Hello?" Clarke slowly waved in front of Lexa's face. "Did I embarrass you?"
"oh, no no! I think it was sweet, I was just thinking of something, I'm sorry" Lexa apologized.
Clarke looked a little insecure. "I can stop if you want me to, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable"
"No, it's not that" Lexa took Clarke's hand. "I'm just a little rusty, if you know what I mean, If I have to be totally honest I haven't been in a relationship for ten years ago"
Clarke laughed. Waiting for Lexa to keep talking.
"I want to get to know you better" Lexa said.
Clarke smiled. Lexa knew how to make her smile. Just by opening her mouth was making Clarke smile. She took a quick look at her phone to check the clock. "oh, you're lunch time is over, I better go" Clarke got up and took the last sip of her coffee.
Lexa followed Clarke all the way down to the parking lot where her car was.
"Thanks for having lunch with me" Lexa said as Clarke slowly went to grab the handle. "maybe we can have lunch some other time, if you would like to"
Lexa kissed Clarke on the cheek. "I'd love to". She got in the car and Lexa watched her drive away.
"That was quite a lunch" Clarke said to herself as she had thrown herself on the couch. She took of her coat and shoes and rested her head on a soft pillow. She slowly closed her eyes, smiling to herself. Thinking about how happy she was.
After an hour and a few minutes, knocks on the door made itself heard. It made her jump, she sighed and tried to push herself from the couch. Feeling her body was heavy as hell. She slowly walked to the door, guessing who it could be.
She gets a lot of visits, with the concept that she was the person everyone came to when they wanted or needed someone to talk to. Everyone in the group trusted her. They all felt like they could open themselves up to her. She had a special connection with each one the group.
She opened the door and in came Finn and Bellamy. "Hey, girl" Finn clapped on her shoulder before he walked out of the hall and into the living room. "Hey, you look tired, everything okay?" Bellamy asked as he saw Clarke leaned on the doorframe.
"You guys woke me up, that was probably the best nap I've ever had"
"oh, sorry C" Bellamy messed with her head and walked inside.
What were they doing here? Clarke closed the door and walked out of the big hall. There was a lot of space to walk on after walking out of the hall, it was like three or four meters before a few stairs appeared. And down there was the living room. You had to get to the end of the thin wall to see the living room. Clarke then walked to the living room, finding the boys sitting on the couch already making themselves feel like home.
"What are you guys actually doing here?"
Finn and Bellamy looked at each other, a little surprised that she had forgotten. "You invited us, remember?" Clarke had to take a few seconds to think. The doorbell interrupted her. Before she got to think people were walking in. "Hey, Clarke!". Clarke just got more confused. More people? She frowned at Bellamy and Finn, they were smiling and shaking their heads because Clarke had obviously forgot that she made plans.
"oh, hi" Clarke waved at her friends, still not knowing exactly what was going on. Harper, Monty, Finn, Bellamy, Murphy, Emori, Jasper and Maya. Then Clarke remembered. She invited them all over to plan a surprise wedding gift for Octavia and Lincoln.
"Where's Raven?" Finn asked everyone. They shrugged. It didn't take long before the door opened itself and raven walked into the living room. "Hey guys, I'm not too late?" Raven made herself comfortable on the corner of the couch.
"We were just getting started" Clarke sat down on the edge of the couch, beside Raven. "Okay, thanks for coming. As you all know, I invited you so we could plan a surprise wedding gift for Octavia and Lincoln. Feel free to come up with ideas, nothing is dumb" Clarke told everyone. It didn't take long before they came up with thousands of ideas.
After a good half-hour' time of laughing and joking, Clarke went to the kitchen to fix some snacks. Finn followed her.
"Fruit or unhealthy stuff?" Clarke held an apple in her left hand and a bag of chips in the other hand. Finn chose the right hand. "It's okay to be unhealthy sometimes" He said and grabbed the chip bag as he waited for Clarke to get a bowl.
Clarke opened a cabinet that was chock full of chip bags, chocolate plates and different kind of candies. She brought down two chip bags. Finn was almost drooled. She walked to the cabinet that was to the left and took out three big glass bowls. Finn helped her open the chip bags and pour them into the bowl. He carried the bowls to the living room while Clarke went to get some soda.
"Damn, what a host" Raven took a hand full of chips. Clarke laughed, giving her a thank you smile.
Her friends gathered around the table, sending each other glasses and passing the sodas. Clarke smiled at her friends, her beautiful precious friends. It was just wonderful to see her friends together again. Like old times, people were getting busy and it was hard to hang out with each other, all of them. They would either be busy or lazy. But now, she just wanted to enjoy this moment.
"What do you think, Clarke?" Bellamy looked at her from across the table.
"What?"
Her friends let out short laughs. "Are you daydreaming about someone?" Raven smirked. The crowd got wild. They were curious.
"Who?!"
"Tell me!"
"Baby, who is it?"
"OMG, whooo!?"
Clarke couldn't help but laugh at her friends. "We just met. Jesus Christ. It's nothing special"
"Well it gotta be, it's the first person you've ever 'daydreamed' about since Niylah. You can tell us, what are you afraid about?" Maya left the couch she was sitting on and moved beside Clarke.
"I just don't want you to get all overprotective, comforting, feeling sad for me when I'm crying and all that, when stuff doesn't go right" Clarke tried to explain.
"But if it is nothing special, why would you cry?" Emori then asked carefully.
Clarke panicked. Shit. "W-w-well" she stemmed. "I just don't want you to get mad at her if something happens between us. Not that she would have done something to hurt me or anything…"
Everyone was looking clueless, knowing it was another reason.
Clarke sighed. "I don't want you to have high expectations, okay! It was embarrassing and hurting enough when Niylah left me, if Lexa had-" Clarke realized she just said her name. The crowd got wild again.
"LEXA?! AS IN LEXA WOODS?"
"OMG THAT HOT PIECE OF LADY!" Emori gaped, and closed her mouth when Murphy frowned at her.
"LEXAAA! OMG!"
"DAMN CLARKE!"
"YOU GUYS MAKE A CUTE COUPLE!" Harper smiled with excitement.
"We are not a couple" Clarke poured soda in her cup. "yet"
"GROUP HUG!" Raven shouted and everyone jumped on Clarke, hugging the shit out of her. Clarke beamed as everyone embraced her.
They all found their place back to the couch. They kept coming up with ideas. Hours passed and thousands of ideas were written down.
Clarke stayed quiet when her phone pinged. She took up her phone, tried to look like it was nothing when Raven gave her a look whispered 'Lexa?'.
Brunette: Hey, I just got off work early. It was absolutely brilliant to hire people to do the small work, now I can go off work 16.30 pm!
Blondie: That's great!
Brunette: I know I just cut of some few hours, but it's a progress! Soon I will get to work at home
Blondie: Good for you, you're working fast! I remember I used a whole week just trying to be able to work at home
Brunette: I have to interview a few people and make sure that I can trust them, they will be the ones that take a little big and hard decisions
Blondie: Good luck on that, it's hard to trust someone you just met
Brunette: Nah, I just met you and I already trust you ;)
Blondie: Really? How sweet
Brunette: I have to go, I'm walking home now :) Talk to you later?
Blondie: Yeah :)
Clarke beamed at her phone as she turned it off. Pulling the phone close to her chest. People started nudging at each other and carefully pointed at Clarke. They were curious.
"Who are you talking to, princess?" Finn formed his lips and kissed on the air. "you're probably getting laid tonight!"
"Jerk!" Raven hit him.
"Ouch, I'm sorry relax" Finn apologized while holding over his hurting place. Realizing he was an ass and apologized again, and this time he meant it.
Clarke told them that she had chatted with Lexa, but pretended it wasn't a big deal. Although it was for her. Her heart was literally beating for Lexa. This was almost like being in high school again, having a crush and not being able to think about anything else. You've like been picturing your crush and you with a child that you had together, and a cute dog of course. A beagle. Lived in a big house with a big garden for the kids to play on.
She didn't pay attention to what any of them were saying. She was in her own world, thinking about her crush. But what made it more exciting was that Lexa maybe was crushing on her too. This was a start of a beautiful adventure.
"Let's do that! What a great idea" Raven patted Bellamy on the shoulder.
Clarke didn't get what they said, she was daydreaming, completely shutting the world out. "What's a great idea?"
"all of us showing up naked at their wedding" Bellamy joked, but Clarke clearly didn't know it was a joke. She frowned at Bellamy and the others who laughed. "You're kidding"
"Yes I am. No, the real idea was that we were going to do more than just one thing. We are going to make a home video of Lincoln and Octavia, some of Octavia and Lincoln hanging with us and other pictures that we have experienced together. We are also going to embarrass them by dancing a sexy dance. And the last thing is that we are going to sing for them"
"sounds fun! What are we dancing and singing?"
They were coming with ideas of what music to dance for and sing. Hours passed and they were laughing, teasing and made fun of each other. Raven stole Finn's caps and he had to chase her around the house. Everyone was cheering on Raven and wanted her to throw the caps out from the balcony. Before she got to the balcony Finn got her. He embraced her from behind and tried to take his caps. She screamed for help but the others would rather watch them. Finn finally got his caps back and he messed with Raven's hair before he put on his caps.
As Clarke watched her two friends, she began to think about that time back in high school when Raven and Finn used to date. Yeah, they were a cute couple. He even made a raven out of metal and turned it into a necklace to give her on their anniversary. But everything got ruined when Clarke came into his life. It was before the group was a 'group' they wasn't friends with each other yet. Clarke knew his name was Finn, but she didn't actually know who he was.
Raven had to move and they were having a long-distance relationship. It was hard. After four months of Finn not being able to see Raven, he met Clarke in chemistry class. He had actually secretly watched Clarke since she got moved to his class. They were set up to be partners. He watched her as she did all the talking and working. Admiring how sexy she looked with her safety goggles. She looked up at him a few times and beamed every time she saw him looking at her.
They hang out for a few weeks and got together after a month. He didn't tell her that he had a girlfriend because he thought he was never going to see Raven again. So, he kept it a secret. He was in love with Clarke and Clarke felt the same way about him.
They were together for a month. Raven showed up at his school, surprising him. She had moved back and was going to go on the same school again. He was happy to see her, honestly. He had to end things with Clarke. He told Clarke the truth, saying what he felt for her was real, but what he felt for Raven was ten times more real. Clarke was an understanding person, she said it was okay. But it really wasn't. The next day she changed partners, she was paired up with Octavia instead. Raven got to be Finn's new partner. She was happy to be back, even though she didn't know anyone.
Anyways, the whole first week she noticed how Finn was acting when Clarke was around. They had classes together he couldn't ignore her. When the bell rang, Raven dragged him outside. She was upset and it just made Finn nervous. She asked him if it was something going on between he and Clarke. Finn didn't know what to say. He couldn't lie to her. He told her the truth. Raven bursted in tears and pushed him and called him mean words. She made her way to Clarke. She called her a bitch and a whore and started pushing her. Bellamy saw what happened and tried to stop Raven, trying to stand between the girls so no one would get hurt.
Raven told everyone that Clarke was seeing Finn when she was in Paris. Clarke didn't say a word, she was about to cry. Raven shouted at Clarke, tried to make her talk. But Finn ran inside, tried to calm Raven down. Everyone had gathered around the girls, it was a circle around them and Finn made his way in that circle.
He had to be total honest. He told Raven that Clarke didn't know about her. He never mentioned having a girlfriend. Raven frowned at Finn. When she thought she couldn't be madder at him, she slapped him. The crowd gasped and jumped to the side as Raven was making her way out of the circle.
After school, Raven felt bad for yelling at Clarke in front of everyone. She apologized to her, and Clarke seemed to be okay. She would have done the same thing. Raven asked her if she wanted to grab a smoothie on the way home, since they lived in the same neighborhood, they could grab a smoothie and walk home together. And that's what they did.
They became good friends, and after a few weeks best friends. They started talking more with their classmates in chemistry class and got to know Octavia. And that's how the trio met. Octavia introduced them to the rest of the class.
"Hello? Earth to Clarke" Bellamy waved his hand in front of Clarke's face. "Aren't you gonna open the door?"
"What?" She asked, had no clue what he was talking about.
"Someone knocked on the door" He pointed at the direction of where the door would be behind the walls.
"oh, okay, I'll get it" She got up and walked towards the door. Threw her hair back. Her heart raced and her smile got bright as she saw who was behind the door.
"Lexa, hi"
