AN: I haven't checked if there's any typos or grammatical errors here. But if it is, I'm truly sorry. It's late and I'm getting visitors tomorrow and after that, I'm headed to a birthday party.
The blonde looked up, noticing the brunette. They walked towards each other and met in the middle. "Hey" the blonde smiled and pulled Lexa in for a kiss. "Hey" the brunette smiled. Clarke noticed Costia and Luna were just done ordering and looked for a place to sit. "Why don't you come and sit with us? There's more than enough space" Clarke smiled. Lexa shrugged. "okay"
Luna widened her eyes. "With Raven?" the ginger whispered to the brunette as the blonde walked back to her friend. Lexa rolled her eyes with a funny look. "Come on, you are adults" Lexa tried to convince her. Luna sighed. "But it's going to be so awkward!" she pouted. Costia laid a hand on Luna's shoulder. "If it gets too awkward just let me know and we're out of here" Costia smiled supportively. Luna thanked her and they walked to the others.
Raven almost choked on her coffee as she saw Luna. "Hey" Costia nodded towards Raven. "H-hi" Raven winked and put down her coffee. Luna made herself comfortable next to Costia and tried her best not to lay eyes at Raven. The Latino on the other hand, couldn't take her eyes of the beautiful orange haired woman.
"oh, I think I want a smoothie instead…" Lexa rose up and put down her coffee. Clarke laughed and shook her head. Luna took the opportunity to follow Lexa. "I think I want smoothie too" she said and half ran to the brunette.
"Oh, shit Clarke. I think Luna's mad at me" Raven whispered to Clarke. Costia smiled. "She's not mad" Costia said simple and took a sip of her coffee. She had Raven's and Clarke's attention. "She's… sad… a little hurt that you lost touch" Costia pressed her lips to a thin line and didn't want to be more specific because she didn't want to hurt Raven.
"oh…" Raven swallowed. "I messed up… I'm sorry" she apologized to Costia. "Don't apologize to me, apologise to your future girlfriend" Costia let out a short laugh. Raven nodded and walked to Luna. Now it was only Clarke and Costia.
"So, how's things going?" Clarke asked Costia with a smile. "Great. I actually found out that Lexa trusts me so much she lets me make big decisions. I mean, what if I betrayed her and took over the twelve companies? Because I could. And I just got so overexcited, I wanted to run till I was out of energy you know?" Costia chuckled. Clarke laughed. "yeah, I know that feeling. There was this one time when Finn took me to a concert with my favorite artist, Demi Lovato, and I just got so overexcited that I kissed him" Clarke pressed her lips to a thin line.
Costia laughed. "Damn! So you were straight?" she asked with a funny voice, trying to make it sound not-offensive. Clarke laughed. "Well, I'm kind of bisexual. I love girl and they are totally my first choice, but if there is a nice boy that is able to steal my heart, I would have date him" the blonde confessed. "Does Lexa know?" Costia wondered.
"That I kissed Finn because I just got caught up in the moment? No, we weren't even together. Haven't you ever kissed someone because you were too excited or just got caught up in the moment?" Clarke waited curiously.
"Well… I did get a little too excited and caught up in the moment when I found out that Lexa trusted me so much… that I kissed her…" Costia looked deeply into Clarke's eyes. The blonde wasn't reacting, she was just looking at Costia with no facial expression. The blonde started slowly nodding her head.
"Hey, guys," Lexa said and sat down next to Costia. Costia smiled at Lexa. The blonde forced a smile at Lexa and pretended everything was okay. "Where's Luna and Raven?" the blonde asked the brunette to distract herself. "They went outside to talk"
It went silent for a moment till Lexa frowned. "Why are you so quiet?" Lexa awkwardly chuckled. "Tired, I guess," Clarke said. Costia nodded in agreement. A few seconds later, Raven and Luna entered the room with their hands linked together.
"What's this" Clarke wondered with a huge smiling. "We've talked, and figured things out. I guess we're okay now" Raven smiled at Luna. "We're okay" Luna smiled back. "That's great" the others smiled happily for them. They talked for a few minutes, and Finn jumped over the couch and sat next to Clarke. Clarke screamed.
"Jesus Collins! You scared the shit out of me" Clarke pushed his shoulder. Luna and Costia had never met Finn before. "Sorry, Princess" Finn apologized. "Hey. I'm Finn" he reached his hand over Clarke's lap to shake hands with Costia. "Costia" the brunette smiled. He reached his hand out for Luna to shake. "Luna. Nice to meet you" the orange haired woman smiled.
"Do you have a break?" the blonde asked. Totally ignoring the others and turned her back on Raven. In an attempt to make Lexa a little jealous. Finn did the same, just without the whole "making Lexa jealous thing". "Yes," Finn nodded. "No, you don't!" Niylah said behind Clarke. "get back to work" Niylah nodded in the direction of Ally. Finn sighed and said bye to the others.
The girls laughed. "Hi" Niylah smiled a warm smile at Clarke as the beautiful "princess" turned around. "Hey" Clarke smiled back at the other blonde. Niylah's eyes slipped to look at Lexa. "Hi, Lexa". The brunette just gave Niylah a simple nod and smile. "Shout at me if you need anything," Niylah told the girls. They nodded.
"Who was that?" Luna wondered while looking at the blonde with an apron walk back to the desk. "That's Niylah. Clarke's friend. She's the one who owns this café" Raven informed. "Ahh! That's why it's called café Niy" Luna nodded in understanding.
"Well, we should be getting back to work" Clarke rose up, smiling at the brunette. The brunette did as well. She hugged Luna and Costia. Clarke couldn't help taking her eyes off when Lexa embraced Costia. Jealousy was running around in her body. But she forgot it as soon as the brunette smiled at her and grabbed her hand.
Raven, Clarke, and Lexa walked to Clarke's car. "Yay, I can't wait to get back to work," Raven said sarcastically while drawing circles on the car window. Lexa sat in the front seat next to Clarke, laughing at Raven. "Poor you" Lexa pouted, but she didn't feel bad for Raven, she just wanted to tease her. Raven made a grimace. "oh, shut up Lex" Raven said and pointed her tongue out, Lexa did the same. Clarke just laughed and shook her head. She wanted to say, "grow up" but let it be because it was kind of fun that Raven and Lexa had a good friendship where they could annoy each other. A solid good friendship.
A few minutes later they were back at Arcadia. The big ass building. Raven went straight to work and Clarke followed Lexa to the penthouse. When they were standing in the hall Clarke was quiet. She went to the living room and Lexa followed her. "Are you okay?" Lexa asked as she stood in front of Clarke. "Yes," Clarke simply said without making eye contact. "Are you sure?" Lexa wondered, a little confused because Clarke just walked past her. "Yes, why wouldn't it be" the blonde sat down on the couch, still not looking at Lexa. "Because you haven't said anything on the entire ride and the way up here. And you're not even looking at me" Lexa said a little upset.
Clarke sighed. "When were you going to tell me" the blonde looked at the brunette. "Tell you what?" Lexa asked, taking a few steps closer to Clarke. "That you and Costia kissed" Clarke looked deeply into Lexa's eyes. Except now the brunette was the one who didn't make eye contact. "It was just a little kiss…. It didn't mean anything" she knelt in front of Clarke, looking at her with honesty. "Then why wouldn't you tell me?" Clarke asked with a frown. "Because I didn't think it was important. And it didn't mean anything to me" Lexa grabbed Clarke's hands. "I promise". Clarke shook her head. "Well if it didn't mean anything to you then why didn't you tell me? And maybe it didn't mean something to you but what if it meant something to her?" Clarke asked rhetorically.
Lexa swallowed and kept her voice calm. "I didn't mean anything to her. I know it. We're just friends. And there's no need to be jealous- "Lexa said but Clarke interrupted her right away. "I'm not jealous," She said determinedly. "okay, honey" Lexa smiled her beautiful smile. Clarke couldn't resist that smile. She was so cute. The blonde smiled. "I can't be mad at you. You're too cute" the blonde crossed her arms. The brunette chuckled and leaned in for a long king.
Clarke kissed her back and they kept passing on kisses. Lexa gently rose while they were still making out and slowly pushed Clarke down to the couch. The blonde collaborated with gently pulling Lexa closer to her. The brunette was laying on top of the blonde, letting her knees and her on palm support her weight. While her other palm was pressed against the back of Clarke's head.
Lexa took off her blouse, letting Clarke study her body before they went back to making out. The blonde smiled gently and pulled her back to her lips. It was so passionate. As they kept on for a moment, Clarke whispered in Lexa's ears. "bedroom?" the whispering and the word "bedroom" sent shivers through Lexa's body. Lexa removed herself from Clarke. The blonde grabbed Lexa's hand and pulled her to the bedroom shutting the door.
Clarke started taking off her shirt, pants, and socks. And when Lexa noticed it, she took off her pants and socks too. Clarke half-ran to Lexa and jumped on her. Now the blonde was on top of the brunette and she liked it. They moved to the middle of the bed, Clarke pulled a duvet over herself covering her and Lexa. Lexa enjoyed having Clarke on top of her, her fingers tickled Clarke's waist and made their way up to her back. The brunette took to Clarke's bra.
The blonde placed kisses on Lexa's neck, making Lexa inhale for air. The brunette grabbed the madras and squeezed it. While Clarke was distracting Lexa with kisses on her neck she took of Lexa's bra. The blonde kissed her way down to Lexa's stomach. The blonde went lower and lower until she reached her … "goal". Lexa bit her lip and inhaled deep with a little shriek and squeezed the madras hard.
… and … xxx
"Why are you so late! I thought you were only going to be there five minutes!" Monty followed Clarke while she rushed her way to her office. "I'm sorry. I had to do… stuff" she awkwardly avoided Monty's curious eyes. He tried to shake his thoughts of and stood in front of Clarke.
"We're a target," Monty said. It caught Clarke's attention. She waited for him to continue. "The other companies. Lexa's companies want to buy us-"Clarke rolled her eyes. "That doesn't mean we're a target. Just deny their offer" Clarke shrugged, with her "It's simple as that" face. Monty shook his head. "You didn't let me finish. Some of Lexa's companies want to help us out by buying this company. While others are threatening to wreck this building down because they're allowed to"
Clarke frowned. "Allowed to?" she questioned, taking a step closer to Monty. It scared him a little so he got nervous. "y-yeah. Technically, we are in their territory. And since we didn't ask for their permission to set up a company where they have the right to wreck it down…" Monty swallowed. "Are we under attack or something?" Clarke swallowed too. It went a few seconds before Monty answered. "I guess so"
Clarke rushed to her office and made thousands of phone calls to the other companies that wanted to help them. But she didn't want them to buy it. Because that meant that she wasn't the head boss anymore and that she could get fired anytime. Her friends too. And she didn't want that. She liked to be a leader. Not to follow one. But she had to if she was going to lose this company.
After listening to two or three offers, which were awful, they wanted to do many changes, hire, and fire. It was just nothing Clarke would have accepted. She tried calling the companies that wanted them gone but she couldn't change their minds.
"Hey. Monty told me what was happening" Raven leaned on the doorframe. "It's not good. But sit down, I have news!" the blonde smiled widely. As Raven sat down, the words flew out of her immediately. "Lexa and I did it!" she excitedly announced. Raven smiled with her mouth open. "That was about time! I thought Lexa was asexual or something. It's been three months for god sake!" Raven joked. Clarke rolled her eyes with a laugh. "We've been taking it slow okay. And I told her that I loved her… but she hasn't said it yet"
"oh," the smile disappeared from Raven's face. "It's okay. She will come around. Maybe she is just waiting for the perfect moment. You are special to her after all" Raven smiled carefully. "You're probably right" the blonde threw a thankful smile. "I should get back to work"
After hours of trying to make phone calls, Clarke couldn't handle more for today. She let some other people do it for her and went home. She came home and smelled food. "You cooked?" Clarke asked with a grateful smile as she entered the kitchen, watching Lexa wash something. "Yes, I figured you were having a busy day, so I thought you may be exhausted when you came home," Lexa said and kissed Clarke.
"Thank you, babe. And you were right. I am exhausted" Clarke sighed. She told Lexa about what Monty had told her. Lexa understood it was a hard decision to make. And it was even harder because it was about her people's future. They sat down, small chatted about their day and ate good food.
It was around 8 pm and Clarke jumped out of the couch. "Everything okay?" Lexa asked the blonde who looked stressed. "Yeah, I just haven't taken my pills in a few days…" she murmured as she walked to the kitchen. Lexa frowned and followed her. "You take pills? Are you sick?" the brunette asked worriedly.
"No…" Clarke looked to the side and looked at Lexa again while taking a pill out of the box. Lexa got a glass and filled it up with cold water and handed it to Clarke. "No?" Lexa asked a little relieved but still unsure. "Well," Clarke shrugged and threw the pill in her mouth and swallowed it with water. "I'm healthy and fine. Just … not … mentally …" The blonde forced a smile. She always did that to distract her feelings from making her vulnerable.
Lexa didn't actually get it. She was confused and didn't want to say anything wrong, in case it would trigger Clarke. "I'm on antidepressants. I take… pills for my… depression" Clarke tried to explain. "whoa…" Lexa said shortly and low. She walked closer to Clarke, grabbing her hands. "Why haven't you told me?" she said with her sparkling green eyes that were totally trustable. "I'm sorry. It's just… not an easy thing to talk about" Clarke pressed her lips to a thin line. Lexa nodded in understanding and pulled the blonde into a warm hug. Clarke exhaled and wrapped her arms around Lexa. She really needed it. I think both really needed it.
Almost a whole week had passed and this was going to be one of the best days of Lexa's life. It was time for a family reunion! Her parents just moved into Octavia's neighborhood. Lexa was so excited. They came around midnight and packed out a few stuff. The moving van is supposed to come in a few days. They must be exhausted Lexa thought. But happily, they got a good night sleep and wake up with even more energy. They even told Lexa to bring Clarke with her. That's why she's so excited.
It really began to look like spring. The snow was gone, it was still a little cold in the air but no snow! Tree's, stones and rivers had thawed. Flowers started to flourish. The grass became greener. The trees got tiny baby leaves. It was just beautiful!
"oh my god, here we are!" Lexa excitedly said as she turned the corner. The brunette hurried out of the car as she saw her parents on the terrace. She opened her arms and ran to them as they walked fast to her. "I've missed you so much!"
"We've missed you more. You have no idea" Angelica smiled. "Let me take a look at you. Oh my god, honey, you look so beautiful!" Lexa blushed as her mother complimented her. "You're a grown up now, Lexie" Roger nudged her carefully on the shoulder. "Grown-ups doesn't get called Lexie" the brunette chuckled.
Clarke got out of the car. She closed the door, smiling in the direction of Lexa and her parents. She made her way to the other side of the car to close Lexa's door. Since Lexa was too busy running to her parents. The blonde felt the cold air sneak up on her neck. She had gotten a haircut. Now her hair was shorter and she rocked that hair.
"You must be Clarke" Angelica warmly smiled and grabbed Clarke's hand. "Yes. Nice to meet you Mr. And Mrs. Woods" Clarke smiled beautifully. "oh please" Angelica waved her hand in the air with a funny smile. "Call us Angelica and Roger"
They went to a café nearby to get a cup of coffee. Clarke seemed to really get along with Angelica and Roger. Roger told many dry jokes that were just not funny at all, but it seemed like Clarke had the same humor as Roger. They laughed so loud and hard that they got tears in their eyes. And Angelica seemed like to like Clarke. Like really really like her. Lexa could tell that Angelica wasn't faking it.
A few hours passed and unfortunately, Clarke had to go. "oh, are you sure you can't stay a little longer?" Angelica pouted. It was cute. "I'm just going to check on my mom. But it's been really fun getting to know you" the blonde smiled at Roger and Angelica.
"It's been lovely getting to know you, honey" Roger smiled politely. Clarke just had to smile back. They were so lovely. Clarke understood well why Lexa loved them so much. "I'll follow you out"
"Thank you, for letting me meet them" Clarke smiled at Lexa. "Thank you for being so cute and lovable. I knew they would like you. I think they love you" Lexa smiled, it made Clarke laugh. They shared a sweet kiss. Clarke waved her said a cute little bye before she turned around. Lexa just watched Clarke walking. After Clarke had taken two or three steps Lexa smiled. "I love you," she said. She didn't have to shout because she wasn't more than a meter away. And the wind carried her voice to Clarke's ears so she heard them well.
Clarke turned around slowly. She had the cutest smile, it was adorable. "what?" the blonde asked with the cutest voice ever and took a few steps closer to Lexa. The brunette smiled at the beautiful blonde. The sun shined on her face, making Clarke's blue eyes sparkle. And there it was again, her beautiful ocean blue eyes, sparking at her. "I love you," Lexa said once again, this time with more love.
Clarke looked even cuter now, she almost pouted of too much cuteness. "I love you too" the blonde smiled at the brunette. Lexa leaned in for a kiss and Clarke kissed her back. And there they were, kissing outside a café. The wind wasn't so cold anymore, it was gentler. A perfect breeze on a spring day. A beautiful spring day.
