A/N: Just a filler chapter. Next one will be longer.

Chapter 4

When Anya heard about Lexa's irresponsibleness of cutting off her own cast despite her doctor Nyko's, orders that she had at least three more weeks left and although she was initially pretty pissed off of how incredible stupid her daughter could be, she was kind of surprise that it didn't happen sooner.

However, as punishment and for her own sanity, she had hired the best physical therapist she could find in France for Lexa, making sure she heals her leg correctly. And on her order, Lexa is forbidden to leave the hotel until her therapist signs off on it.

Of course, Lexa hated that her mother had some type of control over her life and treated her like a child, but she knew this was better than still wearing that awful cast for another three weeks.

At least she had something to work towards and she had something in mind to shorten her time in therapy.

"Just a couple more stretches and we should be done for the day, Lexa." Her therapist, Amy, smile kindly at her.

They had been meeting for the last two days now, and Lexa had made sure the gym in the hotel was closed off at certain times for her therapy sessions.

Lexa returned her smile. "I am in no rush today. You can work me out as long as you want."

Lexa's smile widen when her flirting was rewarded with a blush on the other girl's face with a small laugh.

"As much as I love spending time with you, we need to make sure we are not pushing you to hard." Amy told her trying to be professional and trying not to let the brunette's charm show on her face how it effected her.

"That's a shame. I like it rough sometimes." She said earning herself a brighter shade of red on Amy's face.

Lexa didn't know if it was easy for her to bed women because of her charm or was it because her family name and money. In this particular case it didn't really matter. As long as she got what she wants in the end, she could careless about the reason.

Unbeknownst to the two women, Clarke was silently watching their interaction and compromising position through the glass window with an very unpleasant expression on her face.

She had decided enough time had pass for both of them to process what was going on between them and she finally found time to seek out Lexa and take the opportunity to talk about it. They never discuss what was happening between them, mostly due to them both being busy, but seeing the brunette flirt was not something she enjoys watching.

She glared at the other woman who placed her hand on Lexa's tone bicep while letting out an annoying over- exaggerated laugh over something that the brunette had said.

After a few minutes of observing, she decided that she had enough of their display and entered the room loudly determined to break the two apart.

"Lexa." Clarke called out plastering a faux smile on her face disguising the disgusted look she had on just a few seconds earlier.

"Clarke."

The smile on Lexa's face was instant when she see's the beautiful blonde. She immediately turns her attention away from Amy, not noticing her therapist disappointed look on her face at the blonde's interruption.

"Sorry for interrupting." Clarke apologized when she made her way closer to the two woman.

"You're not at all. We are pretty much done for the day. I'll see you tomorrow Lexa." Amy told the heiress politely before brushing her fingers softly on Lexa's wrist.

Clarke almost rolled her eyes at the other woman's obviousness.

"I'm looking forward to it, Amy." Lexa flirted openly letting her eyes linger to her backside longer then deemed appropriate as she watched Amy leave the room, fully aware that Clarke was watching her.

"How much longer do you two have to meet?" Clarke asked Lexa when Amy finally left the room.

Lexa tried to hide her amusement when she clearly detected the annoyance in the blonde's voice.

"I'm hoping not that much longer." Lexa answered her as she grabbed her water.

"Really, because it looks like you were enjoy her company. And she is pretty." Clarke told her grudgingly.

Lexa smiled at the blonde's obvious jealousness the blonde was flashing on her face.

"I have noticed how pretty she is." Lexa admitted playfully.

Clarke rolled her eyes.

"Of course, you have. And she seems to enjoy your attention. I saw the flirting."

"Harmless flirting." Lexa corrected her. "My mother is being ridiculous and has appointed Amy to judge when I'm allow to leave this hotel. Flirting with Amy is just speeding up that process. I don't see anything wrong with that."

"Don't you find it cruel to lead her on?" Clarke asked.

"Have you never flirted with someone to get what you want?" Lexa retorted.

Clarke huffed and crossed her arms. Of course she has but she didn't wanted to admit it to Lexa only to see the smug look on the brunette's face.

"It's cute that your jealous." Lexa smiled when the blonde didn't answer her.

Now that she has decided that she had nothing to worry about concerning any deception with the blonde, Lexa felt young, playful, lighter, and carefree around Clarke.

The blonde had a way of bringing it out of her.

"I'm not jealous." Clarke denied stubbornly not willing to meet Lexa's green eyes.

"Clarke." Lexa said softly.

Clarke shut her eyes and try to calm her body to not react at how soft her name sounds rolling off the brunette's tongue caused chills to run down her spine. The last thing she wanted with Lexa to know how easily she was effected by the brunette.

"Despite my past, I promise you I've have no interest in anyone else. I know we haven't talked about what's been developing between us but I'm very interested on were it will take us." Lexa said as she tucked a piece of blonde harm gently behind Clarke's ear. "Besides, I have yet to find out how you taste down there and..."

"Lexa!" Clarke pushed her shoulder slightly scolding the brunette for her bluntness and ruining the moment.

Lexa smile and caught her hand before she could pull it back to interlaced their fingers. Clarke was surprised on how soft and natural Lexa's hands felt with her own. Lexa placed a small kissed on the back of her hand.

"I have something for you." Lexa reluctantly detangled their fingers to grab a folder lying on the table next to them.

Clarke stood in place as she finally takes in Lexa's tone body as she walked a few steps away. The brunette was in full on gym attire with a pair of black tight pants with a tight tank top and she was hypnotized on how the piece of clothing cling to her skin with perspiration.

"I was going to drop it off after my session." Lexa returned handing her a folder.

Shaking out her previous thoughts, Clarke scrunched her face looking down at the folder in her hands. "What's this?" She asked while opening it to look at it's content.

"Just some small proposals on some budget cuts that might be useful. And before you ask, it doesn't include anyone losing their jobs."

Clarke ran her eyes over the first few pages, getting the gist of the proposals. She is surprised that Lexa was even listening to her that day. That she put a lot of thought and effort to something she maybe not believe in.

"I thought about what you said. We should put in the same effort to make sure our employees' are happy, and we appreciate their work and sacrifices. They are some changes that are going to happen but hopefully it will help the company as a whole and helps us grow bigger than before."

Clarke was still flipping through the pages, one after another. It was the first time she had ever heard Lexa talk positive of the merger.

"This actually might work." Clarke told her with an awe look on her face.

"It's just some idea. We have to go over the numbers first..."

"Lexa." Clarke interrupts and looks up into the eyes of the brunette. "This is amazing."

"Thanks." Lexa swallowed as she felt slightly touched by the sincerity in the blonde's voice. She was use to praise but it felt different coming from the blonde.

It was felt genuine.

"I'll go through these and we can pitch these ideas to the board." Clarke told her.

Lexa shakes her head.

"This was your idea, Clarke. I was just helping you out. It should be your pitch."

"Lexa..." Clarke was confused on way Lexa didn't want any credit for the hard work she put in.

"I'm serious." Lexa interrupted her. "Besides my mother would probably think it was a good idea if it came from your mouth rather then mine."

Clarke knew there was obvious tension between Anya and Lexa. She could somewhat understand what Lexa went through with her mother, and her heart went out to her, as she, herself, and a similar relationship with her own mother.

They never felt like they were good enough.

"I owe you one." Clarke said letting her off the hook and not digging any deeper.

"I could probably come up with something." Lexa told wiggle her eyebrows playfully.

Clarke rolled her eyes as the brunette ruin the moment once more and the Lexa she knew resurfaced.

"I need a favor, Quint. And no one is too know about this. We need to be discrete." Lexa stood with her back against the desk in her office, staring down the streets of Paris, as she was talking on the phone.

Gustus knocks on her door of her see-through office and waits patiently for Lexa's command to enter. His wait was short as Lexa quickly turns around and signals Gustus with a quick flick of her hand giving him permission to proceed.

"Can I trust you with this highly sensitive matter." Lexa said in the phone as she watched Gustus take his seat in front of her desk.

When he hears this, Gustus ears immediately perks up and found himself curious of what Lexa was up to. He was usually in the loop with these type of situation and wondered if this is what she called him in for.

Maybe she was finally making her move on Finn or Costia.

Or maybe she still didn't trust Clarke.

He watched as Lexa nods her head as she listens to whoever was on the other line as the spoke.

"Good. We will talk again soon." She said before ending the call and taking her seat behind her desk.

"Are we still trying to find dirt on Clarke?" Gustus asked her, assuming Lexa had another plan since they didn't find anything on the blonde the first time he had her check out. "My sources are reliable, I promise..."

"No, Gustus." She interrupted him. "I'm satisfied with the information you gave me and have concluded that Clarke is not a treat. We will cease our plan to destroy this merger."

Lexa wasn't going to fill him in on the new romantic development between her and Clarke. She didn't want him to see her as weak and letting her guard down especially after everything that had happen with Costia.

"So you trust her?" He looked at her with skepticism written on his face.

Lexa didn't answer him but she contemplated his question. She knew that she was developing feelings for Clarke but trust was a big step. There were only few in her life that she trusted.

"What about Costia and Finn?" Gustus asked a moment later when he felt like he wasn't going to receive a response to his previous question.

"The right time will come for our revenge. Just keep your ears and eyes open when it comes to Costia and Finn and wait for my signal on when to attack." Lexa was proud that she could same their names without gritting it through her teeth for once.

"Of course." Gustus nodded readily.

"That is all. You are relieved for the day." Lexa said dismissing him before turning her attention to her laptop screen to the side of her.

Gustus frowned at her words. This was the second time he had sent her home early within a week. This has never happened before.

He had heard her over the phone about something and thought that was what she wanted to talk to him about.

Maybe she forgot.

"Lexa, are you sure you don't need me for anything else?" He decided to choose his words carefully.

"What are you referring to?" She questioned him looking away from her screen, tilting her head to stare at him intimidatingly.

"Well..." At her menacing stare, he hesitated as he quickly knew he was stepping out of place.

"Speak true, Gustus." She ordered impatiently.

"Your phone call earlier..." He started but Lexa held up her hand.

"Is none of your business." She snapped at him.

"But Lexa..."

"Gustus, you know I hate when I have to repeat myself." She warned.

He has been in the receiving end of Lexa anger since her accident which he was proud to accept because he feels guilty for not being able to prevent it.

"Sorry. I will see you tomorrow then." He said as he stood up from his seat.

Lexa stared hard at him while nodding her head in a slight confirmation.

He sighed heavily when he closed the door behind him.

Gustus didn't want to admit it but he was hurt that Lexa didn't trust him enough to come to him about removing her cast. He would have done it in a heartbeat and now she had something else plan that didn't involve him. Was he losing is credibility to Lexa because of her accident or was it because he was caught while following Clarke? He was so confused on where he stands with Lexa right now and he has never felt that way ever since he has started working for her since she was eighteen years old.

He straighten his stance and continued his way out of the offices and mentally promise to himself and Lexa that he would figure out a way to redeem himself and get revenge on Finn and Costia.

The next day, Lexa found herself in the elevator heading towards another board meeting. She had an sense that Clarke had decided to pitch her idea to the board and her mother today. She hope she could trust the blonde not to mention her involvement.

The elevator dinged followed quickly by the doors opening. Before she even stepped one foot out of the elevator she was meet with an interesting sight.

Clarke was across the room talking politely to a man, who was standing awfully close to her. The blonde looked like she wasn't interested in anything he had to say but was too nice to tell him to back off or let him down easy.

Lexa sped up her stride to save the blonde from him but as she did the blonde caught her eyes. Lexa slowed down her pace and frowned when she noticed Clarke placed her hand on his chest before letting out a showy laugh. Lexa was amused when the man himself was confused on the blonde's sudden dramatic change.

She knew exactly what the blonde was doing. She figured it was retribution on what Clarke had walked in on her therapy sessions. Though the obvious effect the blonde wanted was her to feel jealous but Lexa couldn't help but find the blonde adorable at her lame attempt at flirting. Thank god Clarke was beautiful because she look like a dork when she was flirting.

"Oh, hi Lexa. I didn't see you there." Clarke interrupted the man who she already forgotten his name.

"Clarke." Lexa greeted.

"Lexa...Or I'm sorry. I mean Miss Woods. We missed you in the office...and we were all devastated when..." The man who was just a few seconds early was talking to her with so much confidence was now stumbling his words now that Lexa was here.

Clarke squinted her eyes at him of how nervous and intimated he seemed in Lexa's presence. He act as if he never really spoken to the heiress before.

"Whose your friend Clarke?" Lexa interrupted him not really interested on anything he had to say.

Clarke's eyes widen at Lexa's question and took not of the playful glint in her eyes knowing the brunette had caught her on her game. Damn, why didn't she ask for his name. Thankfully, the unnamed man spoke before she could think of something witty, unwilling to let Lexa win.

"Jonathan...Or just Jon...whatever." He offers to shake her hand, which Lexa slowly accepts. "I'm part of the logistics team."

"Well Jonathan. Would you kindly allow me to pass through as I do have a meeting to attend to." She asked him politely.

Jonathan quickly moves to the side making sure there was more than enough room to walk to the board room.

"Clarke, are you coming?" Lexa asked before she made any movement.

"Actually, we weren't finish with our conversation when you rudely interrupted us." Clarke said.

Jonathan eyebrows raised at the blonde's boldness. He's never heard anyone speak that way to Lexa before.

"Um...It's fine Clarke. I'm really busy actually. So... um...yeah bye." He ran off quickly not wanting to witness the angry wrath that the blonde would probably receive from Lexa. And he didn't want to be in the middle of it causing him to potentially lose his job.

"Great, you scared him off." Clarke said rolled her eyes acting like she was pissed off. Well she was pissed off that Lexa had got the upper hand in their little battle, not because she was interested in him.

"Proof that your choice in men are questionable Clarke if he scares off that easy. Maybe you should write them off all together." Lexa joked.

"I don't think my choice in women are any better." Clarke said starting to make her way towards the board room.

"That hurt, Clarke." Lexa said before following the blonde with a smile on her face.

Clarke's presentation was incredibly impressive. She made everything sound amazing. Her enthusiasm and energy was contagious. Every idea that Lexa had in that folder was brought to life by the blonde and Lexa could only admire and respect her.

She knew that the pitch coming for Clarke would be more effective than coming from her. Just the look on her mother's face who had a hint of a smile, was enough to confirm it, proving that her words were true that morning of the dinner party, when she had woken her up.

"That was impressive, Clarke. We will have our people look it over and I don't doubt that we can proceed with this as soon as we can. You are proving that this merger will be highly successfully." Anya praised when the blonde was finished. She was glad that Clarke had taken initiative. She only wished she could say the same about Lexa.

"Thank you, Anya." Clarke smiled before looking at Lexa subtly nodding her appreciation for her part.

Lexa returned the nod and gave her a supporting smile.

They made a pretty good team and she was happy that Clarke could take the credit for the proposal. She could see working with Clarke in the future would be just as effective.

"If no one has any questions for Clarke, you are all dismiss." Anya said told the group and waited for a moment for anyone to speak up.

When nothing was said, she dismiss everyone before making her way over to Clarke.

Lexa stay back and watch their interaction. She could tell that her mother had grown very fond of the blonde. Although she had eventually warmed up of idea of the merger, she was still confused at her mother's intentions. There was always something bigger than the obvious. And she is determine to figure that out.

Later that day, Lexa made sure she had caught the same elevator as the blonde as they were ready to leave for the day. Luckily there wasn't anyone else on the elevator, giving her the perfect moment to get the blonde alone.

"Your presentation was great..."

"I don't want you to flirt with Amy anymore."

Clarke interrupts Lexa before she could finish giving her praise.

Lexa quirked a brow at the blonde, who kept her gazed pointed forward. She didn't think Clarke was really bother by the flirting.

"I know we didn't really have a serious discussion about us but I don't want to be just another notch on your bed." Clarke continued.

Lexa face soften a little at the blonde's confession and wonders if Clarke had been feeling like she was just another conquest since their time in the maintenance room.

"I will no longer continue to flirt with Amy, as long as you agree to do the same. With anybody." Lexa said after a moment.

"You will do that for me?" Clarke asked surprised of how easily Lexa seem to grant her request and didn't push her any further like she usually does.

"It bothers you." Lexa simply stated.

"Did it bother you?" Clarke asked curiously turing her head to look at the brunette.

Lexa laughed and though she should be annoyed at not being taking seriously, Clarke fell in love with the sound even if it was to mock her.

"You should be grateful that you are beautiful Clarke because if that back there that I had witness is what you call flirting then I'm embarrassed for you." Lexa joked.

Clarke mouth gaped slightly offended.

"Just admit that you were a little jealous."

"I assure you there was nothing to be jealous of. It was quite awful to watch actually. And as the daughter to the owner of Sky Airlines, the company that my family has just merged with, it is imperative that you do not make a fool of yourself like this again in the future thus making TonDC Internationals look bad. We have a reputation to uphold."

Clarke glared at her.

"You're a jerk. And I know how to flirt."

"Clarke watching you flirt was like you trying to speak another language. It was terrible but cute."

"It is so on, Lexa." Clarke challenged.

Lexa frowned. "I thought we just agree to not flirt with anyone else."

"Oh we did. Be prepare to be charmed by my sweet moves that I know you will not be able to resist."

Lexa faced the blonde and smiled completely intrigued nodding her head for the blonde to show her what she got.

Clarke switched right into action as she twirled her finger in her hair and biting her lip. She looked the brunette up and down.

"So heiress to an hotel..."

Clarke gasped as Lexa un-expectingly pushed the her roughly against the side of the elevator interrupting her.

"Consider me charmed." Lexa whispered against her lips before her hand came up to cup the nape of her warm neck pulling her into a passionate kiss.

Clarke moaned into the the kiss as her hands found their way to the brunette's waist pulling her body was firm against hers.

"You know this means, you just admitted that I won." Clarke said pulling out of the kiss.

"You win." Lexa confirmed before reclaiming the blonde's lips. She would agree to almost anything the blonde said right now. She found the blonde simply intoxicating.

Clarke gently massages her tongue against the brunette in an attempt to distract her to switch their positions, which Lexa reluctantly allows. Lexa tips her head back against the wall of the elevator as she feels her lips throbbing when Clarke releases her lip and starts placing soft kisses on her neck.

"How does it feel to lose? Clarke teased playfully nipping at Lexa jaw.

"This is a defeat I am willing to accept if this is the outcome." Lexa retorted, her voice seem deeper than it was earlier.

Clarke smiled at her before leaning forward to capture those soft lips once more.

"This is it?" Lexa asked looking at an 2004 model black ford truck.

"Well yeah." Quint scratched his head nervously. He hope he didn't anger the brunette. "You said you wanted something that nobody would recognize you in. Nobody would expect you to drive something like this."

"It's big." Lexa stated walking around the vehicle. "It's likely to stick out in the streets of Paris."

"That is probably true but no one would think that it is you behind the wheel and all the window are tinted."

"Hmm..." Lexa murmured.

"It was the best I could do in the short time frame that I was given. I promise you it will give you no trouble."

"It's loud, Quint." Lexa stared at him. "I want to drive tonight. I haven't drove a vehicle in two months. I can't take any of mine because the media is familiar with every car I own."

"I understand, Lexa. I promise you will not gain any attention from the paparazzi tonight. I will even make sure of it." Quint tried to convince her. This was all he had.

"How will you do that?" Lexa asked.

"I will distract them or something." Quint said quickly trying to save his ass.

Lexa stood silent for a moment.

"If I see any photos tomorrow of myself on any magazine, I will hold you solely responsible. Do you understand me, Quint?" Lexa stared him in the eyes.

Quint visibly gulped and nodded his head vigorously."Yes, Lexa."

"Take it to the employees garage and met me there at ten tonight." Lexa told him before leaving him alone.

"Lexa?" Clarke opened the door surprise to find the brunette at her room this late at night. "What are you doing here."

Lexa took a moment to admire the blonde in her night time attire. Simple shorts and a tight tank top and she still look radiant.

"I'm here to collect my debt."

Clarke narrow her eyes.

"What is exactly does that entail and why does it have to be at this late at night? Is not sex is it?"

"No." Lexa shakes her head as she walked into Clarke's room not wanting any witnesses. "I want to take you somewhere."

"In the hotel?" Clarke asked perplexed as she shut the door behind her.

"No." Lexa answered again.

Clarke eyes widen.

"Are you crazy? You are not allow to leave. Unless...wait what did you do with Amy that got her to sign off on this?" Clarke asked her feeling herself become angry just at the thought of Lexa lying to her and continued to flirt with her physical therapist.

"Amy didn't sign off on anything, I promised you I wouldn't do that."

"Then...how? Clarke asked confused.

"I'm sneaking out, which sound ridiculous coming from a 23 year old." Lexa said somewhat bitterly.

"Lexa," Clarke sighed rubbing her hand on her forehead while slumping down on her couch. "I don't think this is a good idea."

"Clarke, I am lucky enough to have the most beautifulest view of Paris from my suite and then when I go to my office, another beautiful view. Do you know what it feels like to be stuck in this hotel for over two months and not wanting nothing more to be down there exploring?" Lexa sat down next to the blonde.

"I will go anywhere with you, Lexa." Clarke told her sincerely interlocking their fingers. "But let's wait until..."

"My leg is fine, Clarke." Lexa interrupted. "Trust me."

Clarke knew she lost the battle when she saw the determined look in the brunette's eyes.

"Let me get change."
