Chapter 7:
Lexa:
Here I was again, pacing the length of my apartment. The nerves and the excitement we almost too much for me to handle. I still hadn't come up with an exact plan of what we were going to do later, but I knew it had to be special. I had 2 hours until i needed to pick her up. I should start planning and getting ready real quick if I wanted everything to go off without a hitch. I picked up my cell phone and called Lincoln.
"Commander, hey. What's up? Getting ready for your hot date?" He said answering my call.
"Lincoln, I need a favor. Can i borrow your mustang for the night?" I knew that this was going to take some convincing.
"And what is wrong with your car?" he asked. I knew he would.
"Lincoln, I can't pick up this gorgeous doctor in a car that is about to meet its maker. Please, just let me borrow the 'stang for the night and I'll owe you big time. I promise I'll take good care of her."
"Alright, Octavia and I were planning on staying in tonight anyway, but you have to fill it with gas when you're done and Lexa, no sex in the back seat." he said half serious half laughing
"Oh my god Lincoln, it's a first date relax, and besides, I need a lot more room for that." I said with a giggle, "I'll be by in a about 15 to pick it up. Thanks Lincoln."
I hung up the phone and quickly made my way over to Lincoln's 3 blocks away to get the car before going back home to get ready. During the walk I filled my time trying to plan the perfect outfit. I needed to be nice, but show off my features. It needed to be perfect. I came up with the perfect plan for the whole night when I arrived at Lincolns' front door. I knocked loudly so he could hear it over the pounding music. He opened the door a moment later keys in hand.
"Take care of her Lex, she's my pride and joy." He said tossing the keys to me.
"I will, I promise. Thanks again Lincoln, this means a lot to me."
"I know it does. Have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do." he said with his signature toothy grin.
I got into the car and adjusted the mirrors and seat to my liking before pulling away back towards home to get ready. By the time I got home I had just over an hour to get ready and get to her place. I took a minute to lay out my planned outfit before jumping in for a quick shower. When I got out, with a towel wrapped around me, I sat in front of the mirror and did my make up. I didn't over do it, just some eye makeup to make my green eyes pop, smoky darkness always did that. I then walked over to my bed where my outfit was laid out. A dark 3 quarter length sleeved shirt with a plunging neckline that would surely show off my cleavage, and a dark park of ripped jeans that fit tight in all the right places. And I was going to wear what Lincoln called my 'dress' black boots because I only wore them on special occasions. I quickly got dressed, and then ventured back into the bathroom to do my hair in my signature 'commander braid' do as Lincoln also called it. I had 20 minutes left to get to her place which was perfect timing according to google maps. I grabbed the keys, gave myself one more look ever and headed out the door.
Clarke:
I have never been so nervous about a date in my entire life. Sure we have already made connection, and sure we had already kissed, but this was the first time we were going to be together outside of the walls of my medical office. I was pacing my apartment playing every possible scenario on my head, but that was making me more nervous, so i tried to focus my mind elsewhere. I tried to plan my outfit. I had about an hour before she would be here so I had better start getting ready. I walked over to my large walk in closet and began. I always started with the footwear. I picked out my fancy black leather boots that I loved wearing when going out. Then I looked through my collection of shirts. I had chosen just a plain white tee with a deep V neck that would show off my rather deep cleavage and that hugged those curves tightly, and because it was going to be a little chilly tonight I was going to where my blue leather jacket over the tee. And to complete my ensemble a black pair of jeans. When I finished i quickly jumped in the shower. By the time I got out, there was only 25 minutes left to get ready. I quickly dressed and did my make up, not a lot just enough. I left my hair down in waves over my shoulders. Just as i gave myself one last final lookover I heard the doorbell ring. I swear my heart stopped momentarily before fluttering back to life.
"Coming!" i yelled as i headed down the hallway towards the door.
I took a deep breathe and let it out slowly as I twisted the door handle. There she stood, looking as beautiful as ever. Her outfit hugged all of her curves and left almost nothing to the imagination. I could see her cleavage poking out of her shirt and her eye makeup was making her green eyes pop. I could literally feel myself going week in the knees. She was standing there with her signature smile looking me over as well. I couldn't help but smile as I noticed her eyes stop on my chest.
"You look stunning," I said honestly causing her to look back up at my eyes.
"Not as stunning as you," She responded causing me to blush. "Are you ready?"
"Yea, I'm all set."
She turned on her heel and started back out towards the road. I took an extra second to look over her again while she wasn't looking. The way her black jeans hugged her ass would be the death of me. I locked and closed the door behind me and followed behind her. I saw past her a red mustang that she was opening the passenger side door of.
"Here you go Clarke," She said flicking the 'K' like I loved. I got in and she closed the door before running around and hopping in the driver's seat.
"This is a really nice car. How come you're always walking if you have this?" I asked looking at the clean interior.
"This isn't actually my car," She said with a giggle, "I convinced Lincoln to borrow his car cause honestly mine is a hunk of junk that's falling apart and I wanted you to feel safe."
"Well, thank you for that," I smiled at her, "So what do you have planned for me this evening?"
"I have a plan," she said with a sly smirk starting the car and pulling away from the curb,
We drove off, towards an unknown destination and I was feeling giddy inside like a child. The excitement was almost overwhelming. We pulled into a parking lot not much later that lay between a gorgeous lake and a small forest with a hiking trail. We exited the car and walked out to meet in front of the car. We stood a moment looking at each other, smiling.
"Want to take a walk?" she asked motioning to the paved walk that ran along the water's edge.
"Sure." responded back to her with a smile. She took the first step and I followed suit. The walk over to the waters edge was silent and then I finally broke the silence. "So how long have you been friends with Lincoln? You too seem really close."
"Lincoln and I grew up in the same neighborhood and went to school together. We have been best friends since we were like 5. He has always been there for me and been a protective older brother to me. He was the one to keep me off ultimate rock bottom after Costia." She said in almost one breath.
"That's awesome, I'm glad you have someone who is so close to you that kept you going. He seems like such a good guy. He is all Octavia can talk about anymore." I said with a small giggle.
"Yea, how is that going? Lincoln hasn't really told me much?"
"Seems to be going very well actually. The are together more nights a week than not it seems. And it's all your fault," I said said with another small giggle lightly touching her arm, "You're the one that got him into my hospital in the first place to meet her."
"It's also when I finally official met you Dr. Griffin." she said stopping her pace and turning to look at me, Thanks again for saving my life."
"You are very welcome," I said turning to face her as well. The last of the bright sunshine was lighting up her face making her green eyes shimmer as the looked at me. "When I realized it was you I..I.."
"You..?" she said taking a step towards me and taking my hand in hers.
"I knew I needed to do everything possible to save you. I had seen you across the way for so long and there you were, lying in front of me on the edge of life and death and I knew I still wanted to get to know you." I rambled out looking out across the water
"Well I'm glad we are both getting that chance, thanks to you."
She gave my hand a light squeeze but never let go. We stood there a moment in silence looking out over the water as the sun was just starting to dip below the horizon. The color of the sky started to change from blue to a dark majestic purple with a ring of orange and the sun slowly made its way down, disappearing bits at a time. The further the sun set the lower the temperature plunged and soon enough our bodies started to tense before small shiver started.
"It's getting kinda chilly, are you hungry? I know a place" She asked
"Yea, I could definitely eat. Sounds like a plan."
We started back towards the car hand in hand. The closeness and the contact felt amazing and I could definitely get used to this. She again opened the passenger side door to let me in before running around and hopping in the driver's seat again. The short drive to the restaurant was filled with cute small talk and smiles. When we arrived to the restaurant and a valet service opened both our doors in unison letting us out before driving off to park the car. She walked over to me taking my hand in hers again leading me into the luxurious building. We were seated quickly and left alone to look over our menus. The view from the window we were seated next to caught my eye. The last bit of the sun was poking out giving the sky a gorgeous hue.
"Lexa, this place is beautiful, and outrageously priced. We could go somewhere else, I wouldn't mind." I said noticing the prices on the menu after turning my attention back to it.
"Absolutely not, I am taking you out on a memorable night. It is no problem what so ever okay?" she said reaching across the table taking both my hands in hers
"Okay."
We ordered our meals and hand some more small talk while we waited. We discussed how I became a doctor, what kind of music we enjoy, just the simple things like that. Our food arrived quickly and we ate, enjoying each others company.
"I hope you're enjoying yourself tonight" she said smiling her smile.
"I am. This is honestly one of the best nights I've had in awhile," I answered honestly
"Good, I'm glad."
Shortly after our check was paid we left and headed back towards my apartment. She reached over and took my hand in hers again as we drove. Again the contact of our hands together felt perfect. I ran my thumb over the length of her thumb, feeling the soft skin beneath my own. We arrived outside my apartment much faster than I had originally thought. We sat in silence a moment, our hands still connected. We looked at each other at the same time causing ourselves to smile and blush.
"Well, can I walk you to your door?" She asked
"Sure."
"I hope you enjoyed your night out with me." She said nervously as we stopped in front of my door.
"I did. I really enjoyed spending time with you, getting to know you more." I said using my hand on her face to get her to make eye contact with me, "Lexa, thank you for one of the most magical night of my life."
She looked at me, really looked at me and her pupils we dilated with lust.
"You're more than welcome Clarke," she whispered leaning in until our lips connected gently.
The contact of our lips started was soft and gentle at first but then I was the first to strengthen it. I moved my mouth slightly, just enough to be able to pull her bottom lip into my mouth, sucking on it a bit before letting it go with a pop. The made her moan slightly back into my mouth making our kiss even stronger and deeper. Just as things were really heating up she stepped back slightly before things got out of hand on my door stoop.
"Good night Clarke, I will talk to you tomorrow?" She asked in a half pant
"Yes you will, good night Lexa. Thanks again." I said watching her as she smiled her signature smile as i entered my apartment and closed the door behind me.
Lexa:
I went back to the mustang and sat in the driver's seat in front of her house for a minute just taking in all of tonight's events. I smiled to myself like an idiot before heading towards Lincolns to drop the car off. When I got to his house he insisted on driving me home so I didn't need to walk alone in the dark. The 5 minute car ride was filled with nothing but questions about my night out with the blonde doctor and all I could do was blush and smile. When we pulled up outside my place I thanked him again and made my way inside. After locking the door behind me, I went and changed into my favorite pair of sweats and a tank, removed my make up and ventured into my room. I feel backwards into my bed with a big sigh and a smile twice as big. The night was perfect, I couldn't have wanted it to be any better. I sat up for a moment to plug my cell in when it vibrated. I smiled again when I saw the name.
Dr. Clarke Griffin/ Thank you again for a wonderful evening. I can't to do it again. Good night Lexa Woods. :*
Lexa Woods/ No need to thank me, but I'm glad you had a good time and we will definitely do it again, I promise. Good night Clarke. Sleep well.
I plugged my phone in and rolled over onto my stomach and clos
