Chapter 7

Two hour or so later of shopping and after her encounter with Finn, Clarke arrived back to the hotel but instead of going to her room, she decided to head up to Lexa's suite eager to see the other girl. She was still all tense up from seeing her ex-boyfriend, that she wanted something to change that around and knowing that just the sight of Lexa would manage to put the biggest smile on her face.

When she made it to Lexa's floor, she was a little surprised that she wasn't met with the usual scene of Gustus standing guard in front of the brunette's door. She shrugged and didn't think more about it. He could be inside talking to Lexa or Lexa might have sent him home early like she has been lately. He honestly kind of creeps her out with the way he just stares at her like he wanted to skin her alive. But she always made sure never to show how much he kind of scared her. She knew he was wary of her but she just thought it came with the territory of being Lexa's bodyguard. He was very protective of the brunette, especially since what has happen to Lexa the last few months.

Shaking off those thoughts, Clarke swipes the key card that Lexa had given her earlier to her surprise, which Lexa just shrugged and commented on how she spends more time in her suite then her own hotel room. She knew Lexa liked her privacy and it warms her heart knowing that Lexa had that much trust in her and was comfortable with allowing her access to her most sanctuary place at anytime.

When she opened the door, she was immediately spots the brunette in the kitchen walking around lazily while talking on her phone. Whoever the brunette was talking on the phone with, Clarke can tell by her body language that Lexa was displaying, the brunette felt relax and carefree with this person making her look younger.

Clarke made sure she didn't say anything to interrupt her conversation and shut the door softly behind her.

Her effort was lost as Lexa instantly looks up and smiles as her face brighten at the sight of her. Clarke's heart flutters immediately as she returns her smile adding a small wave while settling her bags on one of Lexa's chairs in the living quarters before excitingly making her way over to the gorgeous brunette placing a small kiss on her cheek to say hello. She took a deep breath and inhaled the brunette's familiar scent finding any small comfort that she can and she quickly feels the tension leaving her body and her mood was instantaneously lifted as she felt calm and at ease. It is insane the effect the brunette has on her in the short amount of time that they have been together and she knows it's the same for the brunette. Or she hopes.

"I love you too." Lexa said over the phone which made Clarke quirk her eyebrow and is now curious on who the brunette was talking to. "I can't wait either. Bye."

"I love you, too? I know there's not a lot of people you say that the little term of endearment to. Should I be jealous?" Clarke questioned playful but slightly serious while wrapping her arms around the brunette's waist and resting her chin on her shoulder after Lexa hung up the phone and placing it on the kitchen counter.

"Over a 80 year old lady? Of course." Lexa answered playfully turning around in the blonde's arms placing a proper kiss hello on her lips. "That was my grandmother. No other woman has compare to the love I have for her."

"I think that's sweet." Clarke told her placing a chaste kiss on her lips.

Despite Lexa best effort to get out of the hotel, she surprising finds herself spending a lot of time at the hotel and the sole reason being was that she was happily enjoying every moment she can with the beautiful woman standing in front of her.

But this weekend she wanted a change of scenery and decided that she wanted to take Clarke on a impromptu trip to visit her grandmother at one of their homes in the country side of France.

"She's an amazing women. One of few I look up to. And I would like you to meet her." Lexa said running her fingers softly and lovingly through the blonde's hair.

"What?" Clarke asked confused and slightly shocked.

"This weekend. Just you and me. My family has an estate in the south of France. My grandmother lives there, I want you to meet her. I know it's kind of short notice and you can say no, if you are not comfortable. You won't hurt my feelings." Lexa told her gently.

Clarke could see in the brunette's eyes that this meant a lot to Lexa. She could use a weekend away after being so busy lately and she always wanted to see more of France. More importantly, she knew it was a big step for Lexa and for their relationship if the brunette wanted to introduce her to her grandmother. She had a feeling Lexa didn't invite just anyone to meet the woman that she seems to hold close to her heart.

"I would love to." Clarke said accepting her invitation and instantly sees Lexa face light up and for that reason alone, the blonde knew it was worth it.

Lexa grinned at her response and slowly wrapped her arm around the blonde's waist pulling her closer to her body.

"It's settle then. By the way, I was highly disappointed see that I didn't receive any message from you containing a scandalous photo as I was promised." Lexa chide playfully as she brushed the hair out of the blonde's beautiful face.

Clarke tried not to show any signs of distress on her face as her mind involuntary flashes back to her unwelcome encounter with Finn. She knew if she told Lexa about what happen today at the boutique, Lexa would just get angry and probably try to do something stupid and she was better sure Lexa also wouldn't like to hear the fact that Finn was in Paris.

Clarke didn't want to ruin what Lexa had plan this weekend. She can see the excitement and glee in the brunette's eyes when she told her that she would accompany her and Clarke just didn't have it in her to spoil that. She decided that it's best if she just holds on to this information until they return from the trip.

"I know. I'm sorry." Clarke kissed the brunette's lips before trailing across her face to her ear. "I just thought it would be better if I surprised you and give you your own private show of your's truly modeling them for you.

Clarke playfully nipped on the brunette's ear before she felt Lexa bring their lips together in a slow and sensual passionate kiss, leaving the blonde breathless as usual.

"You are forgiven, but I still expect a photo of one I deemed the best."

Clarke rolled her eyes at the brunette's persistency for a photo of her.

"And what are you going to do with a picture of me in lingerie? I better not see it all over the internet?" Clarke warned.

Lexa scoffed though she wasn't trying not to get angry at just the thought of someone else looking at Clarke.

"They are for my eyes only. And what I do with them, well... I don't think you want to know." Lexa winked at her.

"My mind is just going to the weirdest place right, now." Clarke said scrunching up her face.

Lexa laughed placing a small kiss on her forehead to ease her worries. She went to grab the blonde's bags from her chair.

"I was just joking." Lexa told her before walking back towards her seeing the blonde's shoulders dropped from relief.

"You better be joking." Clarke retorted.

"Come on, you've delay this longer than I liked. I want to see what you've bought." Lexa told her dragging her by the hand towards her bedroom.

It always amazes the blonde how content Lexa was when she was behind the wheel. The brunette had decided to take her Aston Martin for the almost five hour drive. Clarke suggested they fly but Lexa insisted on the drive, telling her that she missed being on the road.

The long drive was actually really nice and the scenery was beautiful. Clarke looks to her left admiring the driver. This was by far her favorite look of the brunette. Her long slightly curly brown hair was blowing in the wind since they had the windows slightly cracked. A hint of a smile on her face, bobbing her head to the song on the radio and softly singing along. She looked so carefree like she had no worries in the world.

As the song ended and the next one began, Lexa went to shut it off immediately only to have Clarke lightly smacking her hand, making the brunette groan loudly in disappointment.

"Don't tell me you like this song?" Lexa asked scrunching up her face in distaste.

Clarke grinned at her. "What? It's catchy. Don't tell me you don't know the words?"

"No, I don't." Lexa said strongly shaking her head.

"What do you have against Taylor Swift?" Clarke asked playfully.

"Nothing. It's just overplayed." Lexa shrugged.

"Then you should know it." Clarke teased. "Come on Lexa, sing. Please sing with me."

"No." Lexa tried to act annoyed as she was fighting off the smile that threaten to slip on her face at how adorable the blonde was being.

"Oh, stop trying to be serious. I know you want to." Clarke said poking her side lightly. "Don't fight it."

"No."

"Please..." Clarke drawled out.

"Clarke, I said quit it." Lexa said using her best stern voice.

"Fine." Clarke threw her hands up in the air in defeat, throwing on a pout on her face for good measure, letting Lexa know how let down she was.

Clarke dropped it and the car was filled with silence. After a few seconds, Lexa glances over to the blonde who was tapping her fingers to the music on her leg, staring out the window with a disappointed look on her face. She sighed dramatically before she took a deep breath and waited for the chorus to start.

"You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye,

And I got that red lip classic thing that you like"

Lexa sang loudly with as much as enthusiasm she could muster as she watch a big grin slowly forming on the blonde's face.

"And when we go crashing down,

we come back every time,

'Cause we never go out of style,

We never go out of style"

Clarke laughed as Lexa hilariously whipped her hair and sang expressively and theatrically for the blonde, moving her shoulders and hands and dancing in her seat but made sure she still was paying attention to the road. Clarke couldn't help but joined in with her on the next verse.

"You got that long hair,slicked back, white t-shirt

And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt (tight little skirt)"

Clarke, who happened to be wearing a sundress, flirtatiously lifted up the bottom of her dress at the words, reveal a little bit of her thigh to the brunette. Lexa smiled and raised an amused eyebrow at the blonde's playfulness.

"I knew you knew the words. You are a closeted Taylor Swift fan." Clarke told her with a smirk when the song finished.

Lexa rolled her eyes at the blonde.

"No, I'm not." Lexa continued to deny.

Deciding not to push her any further, the blonde just interlock their fingers. Clarke loved that she can bring the silliness out of the usually impassive heiress.

Lexa smiled at the gesture squeezing her hand before bringing them to her lips for a soft kiss.

After a couple of hours, they pulled up to a huge metal gate as Lexa easily punched in a code allowing them access then they began to follow a long cobblestone road that lead to the most gigantic beautiful house...well mansion that Clarke has ever seen.

"It's so beautiful Lexa." Clarke exclaimed looking around with wide eyes in astonishment.

Lexa smiled at the the complete awe on the blonde's face.

"You wonder why my grandmother like to spend all of her time here away from everyone." Lexa joked as she pulled up to the house and a few of their staff who were already awaiting for their arrival.

As they stepped out of the car, Lexa's grandmother stepped out of the house at the same time eager to see her grand daughter that she hasn't seen in a couple of month.

"Alexandria." The old lady called out to Lexa, who immediately sped up her pace to greet her grandmother in a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"I don't you not to call me that in front of others, grandmother." Lexa lightly scolded pulling away.

"I'll do as I please. Now introduce me to this gorgeous woman whom you brought with you to my home." She said wasting no time as she turns her attention to the blonde who was grabbing her bag while allowing the Lexa a little moment as she reunited with her grandmother. "You don't have to do that dear. The staff will take care of that. I pay them generously."

"Umm...okay..." Clarke said still in a daze of how enormous this estate was as she felt someone immediately at her side grabbing her bags from her hands.

Lexa smiled and walked over to stand beside the blonde.

"Grandmother, this is Clarke. Her father's company, Sky airline is the company we are in the process of merging with and..."

"And... she is your girlfriend." Lexa grandmother stated as she interrupted her grand daughter.

"Grandmother!" Lexa chided shaking her head. She forgot that her grandmother absolutely had no filter.

"Oh hush." She shush Lexa dismissively.

Clarke just smile at their playful interaction. She can see that Lexa had an amazing relationship with her grandmother which was completely different then her relationship with her mother.

Lexa rolled her eyes at her before properly introducing the two. "Clarke, this is my grandmother, Evelyn Rose."

"It's nice to meet you." Clarke smiled politely and reached out her hand for her to shake.

"And you as well. I was excited to meet the woman who has my grand daughter smiling again." Evelyn said as she gave her a welcoming smile accepting her hand.

"She has a wonderful smile. I wish she would do it more often." Clarke told her lightly pinching the brunette's side as Lexa told her to stop while fighting off a smile.

Evelyn just looked on with a smile on her face as Clarke wouldn't stop and Lexa was trying to dodge her advances. She immediately liked the blonde and she looked like a perfect match for her stubborn but wonderful granddaughter. The two girls looked like they were lost in their own world not aware of anyone else around them. Lexa has never been this playful with anyone before.

"Come on inside. I'm willing to bet the long drive has got you girls hungry." Evelyn said interrupting the girls light hearted interaction.

While Clarke was upstair unpacking and freshening up for dinner, Lexa was helping her grandmother cook which surprise Clarke that Lexa knew her way around the kitchen. She thought the girl was use to room service and fancy restaurants. But Evelyn had inform her that she taught Lexa everything she knows in the kitchen.

"Are you going to marry this one? She would be a wise choice." Evelyn asked her granddaughter as she threw various spices in the pot.

"It's too early for that type of conversation." Lexa told her across the middle island where she was cutting up vegetables.

"It's only five o'clock." She replied swiftly.

Lexa rolled her eyes. Her grandmother can be a smart ass sometime.

"I meant in the relationship." Lexa clarified even though she knew she didn't have to.

"But two months is not too early to meet your grandmother?" She retorted.

"Point taken. So I take it you approve." Lexa said throwing a recently sliced carrot in her mouth.

"When have you ever seek out anyone's approval?" She rebutted.

Lexa shrugged her shoulders even though her words were true, she did care what her grandmother thought about Clarke. "She is something though, isn't she? She's beautiful, intelligent, kind hearted and she's not afraid to fight me on anything. We butted heads when we first met, until I realized how paranoid I was being."

"Sounds like a keeper. And what does your mother think about Clarke?"

"She doesn't know about us. I prefer it that way after her obvious dislike for Costia."

Her grandmother sighed when she hears the usual bitterness tone from the young brunette. She shakes her head as she wonders when those two will ever see eye to eye.

"Your mother loves you, Lexa. I'm not condoning her action but nothing is more truer then the love she has for you. Just know that, okay." She said wishing that those two would just get along.

"Her love is a strange love." Lexa commented eating another piece of carrot.

"Love is strange in itself, isn't it? We all do crazy things in the name of love."

"Well she should love me less and stop trying to manipulate my life. And can we please stop talking about your daughter, I feel a headache coming on." Lexa complained. "I came to visit you to get away from her."

"Come and taste this then." Evelyn beckon her granddaughter to the stove, holding up a spoon for her taste of approval.

"Mmm..." Lexa felt her mouth igniting with so much amazing favor.

Evelyn smile on the look on Lexa's face.

"Perfect as always." Lexa praised realizing how much she has missed her grandmother's cooking.

The next morning, Lexa was enjoying a morning swim in their lavish pool waiting for Clarke to join her after she finish a game of chess with her grandmother.

The were seated not to far away from the pool and Clarke was surprised that her eyes didn't stray away from the game knowing how amazing Lexa looked in the black two piece she was wearing. But the old lady was really giving her a run for her money, and she couldn't help but let her competitiveness come out.

"I haven't played a worthy competitor other than Lexa in a while." Evelyn told her as she amusingly watch Clarke concentrate heavily on her next move, even though she already predicts what the blonde will do.

"I use to play with my father." Clarke responded without looking up.

"I recall meeting him in one of those business parties that Anya held. He was very honorable. I'm sorry about what happen to him." Evelyn told her offering a sympathetically smile.

"Thank you." Clarke smile genuinely making her move just as the old lady predicted.

"I commend you for wanting his business to stay alive and wish you all the success with this merger. Anya is stubborn but she has great business sense. Same goes for Lexa, they can butt heads most of the time but if they can just see that they are fighting on the same side then I know they wouldn't have as much trouble as they are having with Mount Weathers. They are a power force if they can just realized how stronger they are together." Evelyn said sweeping the blonde's rook with ease.

Clarke lightly frowned at the action as she wasn't expected losing her rook.

"Does it bother you that your daughter and grand daughter fight has often as they do?" Clarke asked curiously.

"I worry that it will be the cause of their own demise. Not because of that boy who crashed into Lexa on her race or Dante Wallace. They will need to work together if they want to defeat their enemies. But I fear that they are only fighting each other." She told the blonde.

"I agree. I don't know why there is so much tension between them." Clarke said while making her next move.

"Because they are too much alike even though they will never admit it." Evelyn looked up when she sees Lexa coming towards. "Seems like my granddaughter is too impatient, just as her mother."

Clarke furrows her brow and look ups from their game at the same direction she was looking at.

"Grandmother, do I need to fight for Clarke's time?" Lexa joked when she walked up to them in her bathing suit, water dripping from her body.

"There's no need to be rude, Lexa. We haven't finish our game." Clarke lightly berated.

Lexa looks down at the game board as she smirks in amusement. She leans down and easily moves her grandmother's piece in one move. "Check mate. She was playing with you, Clarke. She could have beaten you earlier."

Clarke opens her mouth in shock at the unexpected move while Evelyn just smiled cheekily.

"How...?" Clarke blinked at the board a couple times baffled at what just happened. "I didn't even see that."

"She likes to distract you with her words. Never play poker with her if you want to keep your money." Lexa warned as she pulls the blonde up from her seat.

"You just ruined all the fun, Lexa. You know I don't get people who are willing to play with me anymore."

"Sorry, grandmother." Lexa apologized over her shoulder as she was dragging Clarke to the pool.

"Please refrain from having sex in pool." She shouted out to the retreating girls.

"God, she has no filter." Lexa groaned slightly embarrassed.

Clarke let out a small chuckle and rubbed the brunette's arm soothingly.

"I think she's nice. She's not like any other typical grandmother."

"Hmm...she's something." Lexa murmured in agreement as she helps the blonde take her shirt that was hiding her bathing suit underneath before leading her into the pool.

After lounging in the pool for a couple hours, Lexa set out a blanket out on the grass and prepared various fruits and snacks for a small lunch. Evelyn had joined them for a little while before returning back inside the house leaving the two girls to themselves.

"I don't think I've ever felt this relax. I definitely needed this after all the intense meetings we've been having lately." Clarke said as she popped another strawberry in her mouth.

Lexa was casually laying on her side with her elbow prompt up so she can rest her head in her hand as she watched the blonde with soft eyes. It was so easy to be around Clarke and she has never felt this comfortable and more herself around someone like this before. She knew that the blonde was special when she decided to invite her here without any hesitation. She has open herself up to Clarke before she even realized what she was doing.

"This place suits you." Lexa told her still admiring the blonde as the sun was hitting her just right making her blue eyes twinkle and her blonde hair shine beautifully.

"This place is ridiculous. You know your grandmother lives in a mansion right?"

Lexa nodded her head in agreement. "It is a bit too much for one old tiny lady, but the calmness and serenity of this place is enticing."

"Do you ever see your wild self settling here?"

Lexa let out a small chuckle before shaking her head. "I love the city. Even though I do like coming here to get away once in awhile, I think if I was here for a long period of time, I would die from boredom and in result felt like I had to make up for it and do something stupid and extreme."

"Is there anything extreme you thinking about doing now that your cast is removed and you slowly coming out of hiding?" Clarke asked feeding the brunette a piece of grape who immediately opens her mouth accepting the offer fruit.

Lexa furrowed her brow while chewing and thought about the blonde's question for a moment. She usually have some plans on what her next adventure would be but lately she was completely content on being stuck in the hotel and spending time with Clarke which was highly unusual for her.

Lexa shrugged. "I always wanted to sky dive in Dubai, which is not really that extreme."

"That sounds terrifying." Clarke shivered.

Lexa smiled. "You've never been sky diving?"

"No." Clarke shakes her head.

"With your family being in the airline business, you never once thought about sky diving out of an airplane? You can't be afraid of the heights."

"No, it's not the heights that I fear it's falling down to my death that I'm afraid of."

"You have to come with me." Lexa insisted already making plans in her head. "It's exhilarating, you'll love it Clarke."

"There is nothing you can do that will ever get me to jump out of an airplane."

"Your coming." Lexa told her with finality in her voice.

"Are you going to make me?" Clarke challenged locking eyes with Lexa's green ones, staring intently.

"I can be very convincing." Lexa stated not turning away from her stare.

"Oh, and how are you going to convince me?" Clarke asked as she unconsciously leaned towards Lexa. She feels no control over her body and how her body always gravitate towards the brunette.

"Well I promise you will have the time of your life. You will feel an unbelievable rush. Your heart will be pumping faster than ever..."

"I feel that when I look at you." Clarke interrupted softly.

Lexa body stilled suddenly and swallowed hard feeling chills down her spine as she felt touched from the blonde's simple but honest words. She softly cupped the blonde's face in her hands, staring deeply into her eyes that was matching the intensity of her own.

"I know we only been together for a short amount of time but I think I'm falling for you, Lexa." Clarke admits shyly not knowing how the heiress was going to react. It was the closest thing from saying I love you. But she didn't want to scare her off. Clarke had no doubt that Lexa gets girls falling for her all the time but Clarke couldn't help the way she feels and she wanted to be honest with her feelings. She tried to stop herself from being one of those girls that fall so easy for the brunette but it was like it was out of her control. She can only hope that she was different from the others and like feels the same about her.

When Lexa didn't say anything for the longest time, Clarke felt her heart drop and tried to fight any tears that were threatening to fall. She shook her head at her stupidity. Of course the heiress didn't feel the same. Lexa could have anyone she wanted. She was probably a mere distraction while the brunette was stuck in the hotel.

For the first time, she felt awkward in the brunette's presence. She looked down at her fidgeting fingers in dejection. She silently cursed herself for opening her damn mouth. What was it with her having the tendency to say stupid things when she was alone with Lexa having a sweet moment.

"Clarke." She heard her name fall from Lexa's lips softly but she didn't want to look up to see Lexa reject her.

"Please look at me, Clarke." Lexa commanded gently.

Clarke finally looked up and was embarrassed that she couldn't stop the tears. Lexa had moved from her comfortable position to mirror the blonde and held her face close to hers.

Lexa's felt a sickness to her stomach when she looked into those heartbreaking eyes, that once were full of life look so vulnerable.

"I'm sorry for not responding quickly. I was shock by your declaration. I needed a moment to process that the girl that I have been so enamored with, that my life has been center around her for the last two months, shares the same deep feelings that I have for her." Lexa told her wiping her tears.

She wasn't used to consoling someone when they were upset but with Clarke she was willing to do whatever it took to make her smile again and take away her worries.

"I told you once there were only a few people that I trust in my life. Gustus and my grandmother. And I can honestly tell you today that in the small time frame that I've known you, I can proudly add you to that list. I know how kind and selfless you are. My heart has never pounded so hard against my chest at just the sight of anyone as it does when I first see you. I know that you are with me not because of my family, or my wealth, or for any type of fame, but you are with me because of me." Lexa told her sincerely, taking the chance herself to pour her heart out to the blonde, even though she was scare of how strong her feelings were for Clarke.

Clarke was shocked by Lexa's words that she was rendered speechless. She didn't expect the usually stoic brunette to respond in such a heart felt way. To be so open and honest with her making her feel like she was on the moon.

Lexa waited to Clarke's blue eyes met hers and she knew that this was right and it didn't matter how long they knew each other. She had a deep connection with the blonde.

"I love you, Clarke." Lexa said with the most sweetness, gentle and sincere tone that made the blonde heart flutter and became overwhelm with emotion. She said the words that the blonde was too timid to say before though she wanted to.

Clarke lean forward and capture the brunette's lips in relief and overwhelming joy. The moment was the happiest she's ever been.

"I love you too, Lexa." Clarke whispered against her lips when they pulled apart.

"I don't give my heart away often, Clarke, so please don't make a fool of me and break it." Lexa asked of her.

Clarke heart clenched knowing how hard it was for Lexa to fully trust someone and here she was trusting her with her heart. The part of her that Lexa thought was the most vulnerable.

"I promise." Clarke told her before sealing the promise with a kiss which slowly became full of passion as both girls were trying to convey how much they love each other with their lips. A promise that they will always be there for one another.

The weekend had ended far too quickly for Clarke's liking. It was all too soon saying goodbye to Lexa's grandmother, she wanted to spend more time with the older woman and hopes that Lexa brings them back again for another visit, maybe longer than a day and half.

She felt on such a high after the brunette's declaration of love that she has finally decided and felt completely comfortable enough to show Lexa her drawings today. She was on edge all day, anxious to open herself as much as the brunette has done with her. Though she had been reluctant to share her art to the brunette before because of how insecure she had been, but after their weekend, Clarke could only feel excitement in her bones.

Her art for years as only been for her eyes only and she was actually glad the first person who was going to see what she was passionate about with Lexa. She knows it seems silly but it was important to her.

She had a skip in her step like a giddy teenager as the elevator open to Lexa's floor. Her worn out sketchpad was held tightly in her hands and close to her chest when she found herself in front of Lexa's door. Her hand reached out to knock when she remembers that she had a copy of Lexa's key card and dug in her pocket for it before easily swiping and walked inside.

When she walked in further into the living room she felt the tension in the air. Lexa stood in front of her tall windows staring blankly at the streets below her. Clarke could see how stiff her shoulders were from where she was standing. She looked to her left and found Gustus silently seated on one of the chairs with an iPad in his hand, staring coldly at her when she walked in, making her feel very uncomfortable.

If Clarke had paid enough attention today and wasn't distracted by her excitement she would have pay attention on why she only had seen Lexa once this morning and hadn't heard from her all day, which was unusual.

"Lexa?" Clarke asked when the brunette didn't acknowledge her presence with her usual bright smile.

The brunette didn't respond to her at all or even show that she even heard her and continue to look at the window with her back towards the blonde for the longest time until she turn her head slightly to her side dipping her head down that was hardly noticeable giving Gustus a faint nod, who immediately nodded his head and stood up from his seat setting the iPad down on the side table.

He made his way slowly in front of her and Clarke took a step back unconsciously as she was slightly frighten by the hardness of his eyes. She was just to him looking at her like this but this time it was more intense. More terrifying. Before she could tell him to back off, he walked away from her and towards the door.

Clarke released the breathe she didn't realized she was holding when she heard the door shut, knowing that she was alone with Lexa.

"Lexa." Clarke called out softly again and walked up to the brunette. "What's wrong?"

Lexa still didn't respond, her eyes still fixated out the window. She didn't know how to face the blonde. She didn't even want to look at Clarke, to see the face that she loves only to find out that she was being played the whole time.

"Lexa, please talk to me." Clarke pleaded not able to take the silence any longer.

Lexa finally walked away from the window and picked up the iPad that Gustus left and wordlessly handed in to the blonde.

Clarke furrowed her brow at the action but looked at the screen that had photos on the screen. She tapped on the first one and scrolled through the rest as she felt her heart drop in realization of what these were. They were from a few days ago when she was shopping at Aubade. There were pictures of her and Finn leaving separate times but she can admit that it looks suspicious. Then there was a video of what seems to be a security footage of Finn sneaking into her dressing room and leaving.

She looked up at Lexa's who was clenching her jaw with looks of anger and confusion. But her eyes is what bothered her.

Those eyes weren't not the same eyes that looked at her with complete adoration.

Those eyes weren't the same eyes that told her they love her.

Those eyes were full of hurt and betrayal.
