AN: Just to remind you. I don't owe the 100 or any of its character. Well, just the sisters, Emma and Ally, but all rights belong to Jason Rothenberg and the CW. Enjoy!
Clarke smiled and kissed Lexa on the lips. "I care for you too" she removed some of Lexa's hair from the face and fastened it behind her ears. "and you're right. I would do anything for them. They're my people, and I always put my people first" Clarke smiled at Lexa. "and now you're my people. And I will always put you first too" Clarke beamed at Lexa. "I know" Lexa whispered. "That's why I-" Lexa started. Clarke widened her eyes a little and slowly straightened her back.
Lexa slipped her eyes from Clarke's eyes to end up looking at the kitchen table. She looked up at Clarke again and smiled carefully. "That's why you're you"
Clarke smiled. A little disappointed by Lexa's words. It wasn't exactly what she hoped to hear, but that was maybe for the best. It was too early for them to say the L word. Clarke kissed Lexa's cheek. The brunette closed her eyes and rested her head on Clarke's chest. The blonde ran her fingers through the brunette's hair.
"Hey, you know what I just remembered?" Clarke smiled. Lexa was still resting her head on Clarke's chest. "hm?" she said. Clarke made Lexa look at her. "Today was your last day at work. You get three whole days off work, starting tomorrow!" Clarke smiled.
Lexa widened her eyes. "oh how awesome!" Lexa squeezed Clarke's hand. Both figured it was best to keep cooking, since the rice was done in half an hour. Clarke set the table and threw herself on the couch. Waiting for Lexa, but she knew that the brunette wouldn't come before like 20 minutes.
She opened her phone and saw the message she had received. It was a message from the company and Finn. She opened Finn's first because he was more important.
Finn: Hi, Clarke. Thanks for letting be stay at your place. I just moved in to Bellamy's and his cool with it. Thanks again for taking care of me.
Clarke smiled at the phone. She typed.
Clarke: No problem, I'm glad you're happy.
He also started typing.
Finn: And I hope you don't mind, but I got a job at Niylah's café. I can quit if it makes you uncomfortable.
Clarke: No, it doesn't make me uncomfortable in any way. I'm happy for you. Thanks for telling me
She smiled at her phone and opened the message from the group chat of employees of the company.
Harper: Clarke, we need you. I didn't want to bother you on your deserved break, but I couldn't reach Kane. And I know Abby don't work here anymore, but I tried to reach her too and she's not answering. What is going on?
Clarke: I'm sorry. I should have told you. My mother is in the hospital and Kane is there with her. What's going on?
Clarke nervously bit her finger and waited for Harper to answer.
Monty: it's okay Clarke, we can handle this.
Clarke frowned. Now she was curious, what was going on over there?
Clarke: Tell me what's going on
Jasper: Monty, we can't handle this without Clarke. You have to come here right away. The company is in danger. The money we saved and put in the company's bank is gone. It's all gone Clarke. The state will shut the company down if we don't pay them at least 5 million.
Monty: He's right. I saw the bank system, it's only 2 million there.
Raven: Those goddamn bitches. They have made us pay this price every year. Clarke, I love to work for you, but I don't think it's worth it. For the past 5 years, you've paid 25 million, right?
Clarke: Yes, but It's nothing I can't handle. I'll fix it.
Jasper: Wait, if you have paid 25 million the past 5 years, how money do you actually have?
Raven: She won't even tell me. But guess how rich her girlfriend is
Clarke: Stop it Rae
Monty: I've read about Lexa before. She is one of the richest person alive. She pays around 30 million every year, but earn more than 400 million.
Raven: are you fucking kidding! That's crazy. You're lying. If she had that kind of money, she would have bodyguards and one car in front of her and one back. Just to protect herself.
Monty: I'm not lying! Check for yourself
Clarke: Guys, stop. Never talk about mine or Lexa's money. Don't ever ask her about money, she doesn't seem like the person who likes to talk about it. And yes, she has a lot of money, but that doesn't mean she'll buy anything. Remember, she's just a normal girl. She doesn't want others to think that she is any more worth than others and that she is special. And pretty much every business people know Lexa, and they adore her. No one wants to hurt her.
Raven: yeah, understand
Jasper: Sorry
Monty: Sorry, promise I'll never ask her about her money. Not even mention it again.
Clarke: Thanks. About the company, I'll fix it. And Monty?
Monty: Yes
Clarke: delete all the messages so no one else can see
Monty: as you wish
Clarke exhaled. She thought about the whole conversation. Before she sent a message to Monty, telling him that he had to email her the person she had to send money to. Even though she knew who it was, but she had to be sure.
Clarke looked at the email and recognized it. She asked Lexa if she could borrow her computer and she could. It was a mac laptop. It was cute. Clarke knew Lexa also had a little office upstairs with a stationary computer and a screen.
She quickly sent the money and exhaled. She turned closed the laptop and put it on the table. She leaned down on the couch and made herself comfortable. As minutes passed and she was bored to death, the blonde slowly fell asleep.
"Hey, you" Octavia said as she saw Lincoln shirtless with his boxing gloves. She handed him a protein smoothie.
"thanks babe" he kissed her and wiped away the sweat with the towel. "Is everything ready for the sleepover tomorrow?" he asked Octavia and took a big sip of the smoothie.
"yeah, we are going to sleep in the guest room together. The madrassas are there, and lots of pillows and blankets. The only thing missing is snacks and something to drink. So, I figured I'd drive to the grocery shop" she said and kissed him.
"Bye" he smiled. "drive safe" Lincoln said as she was on her way up the stairs. When she got home, they were going to set a date for the wedding. Neither of them could wait.
Octavia sat in her car and pulled her phone out of the pocket. She went to the group chat that Raven and Clarke were in.
O: Hey, I'm thinking of buying some snacks and something to drink till tomorrow. Any wishes?
Rae: Chips, smoothie, chocolate, cake mix (so we can bake cake together), uhm and maybe carrots and cucumber.
O: What a weird combination
Rae: You're weird.
O: okay, what about you princess, any wishes?
A whole minute had passed and Clarke hadn't even seen the message. She was always available on answered fast on the phone. Octavia got a bad feeling.
O: You don't think Clarke's very upset and may do something stupid…?
Rae: Why? Because you sent the message a minute ago and she haven't answered? Don't be dramatic
O:You're right. But think about it. Can you go and check at her?
Rae: Fine
O: Thanks
Octavia connected her phone to the speaker in the car and turned on some music. She was a little worried about Clarke, but didn't want to get all dramatic. She pulled up in front of the grocery shop and only spent a few minutes. As she sat in her car, she checked her phone.
Rae: She's not home… and she's not answering any of my calls
Octavia's eyes widened. Her heart started beating fast. It's hard to explain how worried she got, because she knew whenever Clarke was upset and sad. The blonde didn't want anyone to see her cry. But she didn't want to be alone either. She needed someone to hold her, but chose to be alone. Because she's afraid she may say something dumb and will regret it later.
Octavia drove to Emma's house to see if she was there. She tried to call Lexa but she didn't pick up either. Lexa's phone had died because her battery was empty, but Octavia didn't know that, so she figured Lexa went back to work.
Octavia desperately knocked on the door. "Hey, we met in the hospital" (barely) Octavia thought as she finished her sentence. She shook hands with Emma. "I'm Octavia"
"Emma" the blonde who looked like Clarke just in an elder version smiled.
"Hi, I know my best f- Clarke" Octavia corrected herself. "and you aren't getting along-"
Emma frowned a little. "oh no, we are getting along. I came back for her and we talked. We're okay" she informed Octavia. "oh, that's great" Octavia said with a shocked face, and with a little smile. "I can't reach Clarke, and I'm worried. I thought maybe she was here?"
Emma frowned. "She's not here. Have something happened?" the blonde asked worried.
"I hope not" Octavia took a few steps back. "I'm just worried she's…" Octavia thought if she could tell Emma that Clarke was suffering from depression and was suicidal sometimes. But it was not her secret to tell. "alone… since her mother is in the hospital, she must have not taken it easy"
Emma nodded. "Uhm, Lexa and Clarke gave me a ride home. I don't know if Lexa gave Clarke a ride home, but maybe she went home with Lexa?" Emma shrugged.
"thanks" Octavia smiled. "I'll go and check if she's there" Octavia hurried to her car and smiled when Emma wished her good luck. Octavia messaged Raven and told her that she was going to see if Clarke was in Lexa's apartment.
She hurried in the building after she parked her car in front of the building. It was a good thing Octavia remembered that Clarke told her that Lexa lived in a pent house. Octavia took the elevator all the way up to the top floor.
She rang on the doorbell and knocked. "Hey" Lexa smiled with a little frown. Why was Octavia here? she thought.
"Hey, is Clarke here?" Octavia asked a little worried.
"Yeah, she's sleeping on the couch in the living room. I was just going to wake her up since dinner is ready" Lexa opened the door wider. Octavia exhaled with relief. "oh, thank god!" she said, and leaned on the door frame. She placed her hand in front of her eyes. "I-" Octavia started.
"Are you okay?" Lexa asked as she saw Octavia almost cried. She could hear that the dark-haired woman had an emotional voice. Octavia sniffed and wiped away her tiny tears that gathered under her eyelashes. "Yeah, I'm okay"
"you sure, what's going on?" Lexa asked and gave her a calm and caring face. She had a warm voice and smiled carefully at Octavia.
Octavia shook her head. "I'm sorry, I overreacted. I thought Clarke… was going to do something stupid" Octavia said, but managed to keep talking with a normal voice.
"Something stupid?" Clarke said as she was in the hall. She must have overheard what Octavia said. "Octavia…" Clarke started. The blonde got a sad face and hugged the brown-haired woman.
Octavia didn't have any face expression, she didn't seem sad, just like she was resting her face. But her tears ran down her cheeks and it made Lexa confused. Why was Octavia crying? She did have a little suspicion. It was almost like the first day she had met Clarke, and her friends were gathered in the lobby, they were dead worried about Clarke.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry… I'm so sorry I worried you… I just fell asleep…" Clarke said, still hugging Octavia. Octavia pulled herself out of the hug. "I'm just glad you're okay" she smiled carefully. Clarke caressed Octavia's arm.
"I better send Rae a message and get home to Lincoln" she waved her hand in the air and got in the elevator. Clarke sighed. She felt bad for worrying her friends like this. Lexa didn't know if she wanted to ask her what they were worried about, so she let it be. "dinner is ready" Lexa smiled and kissed Clarke's cheek and closed the door.
"Hey, Niylah" Finn smiled at the woman behind the desk.
"what would you like to order" Niylah smiled. "oh, I'm not here to order. I thought maybe I could try to work today? Just to see how it is" he smiled. "I can work for free. Today" he added.
Niylah laughed and gave him an apron. "You can go back there with Ally. She bakes, you can bake, right?"
Finn nodded. "yup. I took cooking classes" he put on the apron and said hi to Ally. The girl smiled a lot. She was a few years younger than Finn but was so immature and smart. Smarter than him.
"You're doing it wrong…" Finn tried not to be bossy with his tone. He looked at Ally as she tried to knead the dough. "I have worked her longer than you mister, I know how to do it" Finn walked beside her and laid his hands-on top of hers and helped her knead the dough. "you see?"
Ally chuckled. Finn removed his hands from her hands and washed them. "Hey, do you maybe want to take a coffee break? The others can cover for us" Ally asked Finn.
The boy shrugged. "sure" he asked Niylah to be sure they were allowed and she said yes. It wasn't exactly overcrowded here.
"so, do you like, have a girlfriend?" Ally asked as she took a sip of her coffee.
That's when it hit him. Ally was hitting on him. "Well, no. I'm not ready for any relationships. I'm gonna wait till I'll find the one" he took a sip of his coffee. It was a little hot so hit spit it in the cup again. It made Ally laugh and he embarrassedly chuckled.
"I'm 20 and I already want to settle down" Ally said. "I also want to wait till I'll find the one, but what if I have to do something to find him?" she asked. It really made Finn think. "You can't just sit there and hope the person of your dreams will show up in front of you" Ally looked at Finn. "you have to make a move"
"That was delicious, I'm full" Clarke drank the rest of her water. Lexa smiled and admired Clarke. "What" Clarke said with a normal tone.
The brunette shrugged. "You look… dazzling" Lexa chuckled. Clarke let out a short laugh, "dazzling? You compare me with the sun" she smiled. "yeah, cause you're my sunshine, you're hot and totally blind my eyes with your beauty" the brunette smiled.
Clarke blushed. "Awe, you're romantic" the blonde bit her lower lip. Both got up from their chairs and put the plates in the dishwasher. "Thank you for dinner" Clarke hugged Lexa. The brunette smiled and embraced the blonde. "thanks for having dinner with me" she smiled and kissed Clarke's cheeks on both sides and placed the last kiss on her forehead.
"Let's watch a movie" Clarke suggested. Lexa went on with it and brought some wine. Both had settled in the couch and Lexa poured wine in their wine glasses. "Clarke" Lexa asked the blonde. "do you maybe want to sleep over? I don't want to be alone tonight"
The blonde smiled and grabbed Lexa's hand. "Of course, babe" she reached for the wine and took a sip. They chose a movie together and never let go of each other's hand. They watched two whole movies together and still held hands. Clarke had rested her head on Lexa's chest and it was just the most romantic sight ever.
Neither of them felt tired, so they suggested that they could watch a series together. It did take a while to choose which one they wanted to watch, but they finally agreed on watching the classic comedy Friends. After watching a few episodes, Clarke had fallen asleep. Lexa tried to carefully wake her up.
The brunette leads the blonde to the bedroom. Both slept in their sports bra and in pajamas pants because it was a little cold. Clarke had borrowed Lexa's pajamas pants and it just looked adorable on her. The blonde kissed the brunette goodnight turned around to lay on her side. Sending Lexa hints. Lexa took the hint and moved closer to Clarke. The brunette and the blonde were spooning. Lexa kissed Clarke's neck and it sent shivers through the blonde's body.
"Lexa" Clarke whispered. "I'm sorry" the brunette chuckled and stopped. Clarke turned around. "no" the blonde grabbed Lexa's hand. Clarke wanted to tell Lexa that she loved her. Because she did. They had only been officially together for two days, but it felt like more. She couldn't say it, not yet. Instead, she kissed Lexa's hand and fell asleep.
AN: Hope this wasn't too frustrating. I wanted Clarke to say that she loved Lexa, but they have only been together for two days. I know there's been 11 chapters since they got together but there's really just been two days. It's shocking, right? Hoped you like this chapter as much as I enjoyed writing it. Bye for now! See you next time. Leave a review, add to favorites and follow. It means the world to me. Bye!
