Clarke's POV

I closed the door behind me once I entered my room. Raven was lying on her bed, phone in hand. I went to my closet to hang my flannel shirt back in it's place wondering if I should tell Raven about the kiss that had just happened.

"What took you so long Griffin? Enjoying Lexa's company much? " she joked. I felt the blush come to my cheeks almost immediately. When she noticed I didn't answer with a sassy comment of my own, her gaze went from her phone to me and I knew I was in trouble.

"No way!" she shouted, jumping up to get next to me.

My best friend looked me over before huffing annoyingly, "What are you waiting for? Tell me everything! Was it you of her? Is she a good kisser? How did it happen?"

I waited a moment before answering thinking of what I should tell her exactly because, well, she's Raven… She would undoubtedly repeat to every single one of our friends what I'd tell her in the next few minutes, but I just couldn't keep it from her. She's my best friend after all.

"Basically, we were just talking like usual and at some point, she shifted the conversation and rambled without being able to really tell me what she wanted. Then she kissed me. Rae, I was so surprised, I couldn't believe it was happening! So, I just froze."

Raven's eyes grew wide, "The fuck, Clarke?! The girl you've been crushing on for weeks kisses you and you don't react? Wha-"

"Raven, let me finish gosh!" I interrupted. She simply rolled her eyes before I continued, "She pulled back and then I realized what was happening. So, I pulled her back in for a kiss. It was… Perfect. There's no other word." I felt couldn't take off the smile that was plastered to my face and Raven simply grinned and moved to hug me. "Also, we have a date next Monday. "

She waited a few seconds to make sure I was finished talking, "I'm so happy for you, Princess! We'll talk about that date tomorrow, I have to call Anya now."

"What? You're not calling Anya to tell her about this!"

"Oh, yes I am! I won our bet and I can't wait to rub it in her face," she said scrolling through her contacts list before pressing on Anya's name.

"What did you even bet on? " I asked, knowing I wouldn't be able to keep her from talking to Anya.

"I bet you and Lex would kiss this week. She thought it wouldn't happen before Halloween. I won!" she stated.

Lexa's POV

Obviously, Anya knew the moment I stepped foot in our room something was up. She eyed me suspiciously waiting for me to talk. I simply walked to our small bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Just as I was getting out I almost bumped into my cousin who was standing in the door frame observing me for who knows how long.

"What?" I asked, lifting an eyebrow as if I didn't know what she wanted.

Anya smiled, "You can't stop nibbling your bottom lip, your cheekbones are slightly reddish and your pupils are dilated. "

"And what does that mean Anya? " I asked walking past her, wanting to seem a bit annoyed so she would let me off the hook.

"You tell me." She said innocently. Although, she already knew. That was one of the perks of knowing each other so well; secrets didn't exist between us.

"Okay…" I paused for a second, "I kissed her..? "

"Way to go, Commander! "

She moved to hug me and a I genuinely smiled, not afraid to show her my emotions right now. "How was it? "

I brought my hands to the back of my neck and looked up to gather my thoughts, "It was… I don't know how to tell, An. It was so good! I never thought I'd feel this way again. Although, it's different than with Cos… It feels even better, refreshing. I know it's a drastic change from my mood, but I really think I can love again with her by my side."

I hadn't realized that tears were welling up until one rolled down my cheek. Anya moved her hand to the side of my face gently brushing it away and pulled me in a tight hug. We stayed that was for a while before she said, "I'm glad you're letting yourself feel again, Lex. I love you."

The sound of her ringtone broke the moment. Her eyebrows furrowed when she saw the phone number on the screen. She turned it to show me; it was Raven's. My mind immediately wondered why she would call Anya. Was she hurt? Was Clarke okay?

"Really, Rae? You're calling me to tell me you won the bet? " I heard Anya say.

I eyed her unimpressed and she shrugged in answer. I huffed and simply got to bed letting her be. We'd have to talk about that bet tomorrow.

Clarke's POV

It had been two days since our kiss. I had spent Friday evening with Octavia and Raven since the former didn't stop complaining she didn't see us enough to her liking. It had been an interesting night talking about Octavia's first date coming up with Lincoln. He had invited her to go out Sunday afternoon, but hadn't told her where yet. Raven being her usual self, decided we should bet on what kind of date Lincoln would settle for. I knew from a reliable source he would go for something classic, but also entertaining. He had discussed it with Bellamy, and of course that one couldn't shut his mouth, so he decided to talk about it with me before accidentally spilling everything in front of his sister.

Today, I had spent my time in the library finishing my assignments so I could maybe, I hope, have Sunday off. Fortunately, I accomplished my numerous tasks and left the library around 6pm. On my way back to the dorms, I turned my cellphone back on hoping to have a message from a certain brunette. We hadn't had time to see each other since Thursday, but kept texting as usual. Well, not exactly like usual… Maybe a bit more flirting was involved, and I must admit I liked it and couldn't wait to see Lexa again.

My cellphone vibrated for a few seconds to notify me about my mother's two missed calls and voicemails, Octavia's text about some party coming soon as well as Monty's text complaining about Jasper's constant comments about some girl. I texted back my two friends and figured I'd listen to my mother's messages later. I desperately needed some time off after this hectic week. I walked to my dorm room with my earphones plugged in and once I reached my door, I went straight to my bed letting my bag fall on the floor along the way. I heard muffled voices over the sound of my music and turned my head towards Raven's bed. She was sitting at her desk while Anya was cross-legged on her bed with her laptop on her knees. I saw my best friend's lips move and pulled my earphones out mumbling her to repeat.

"Did you finish all your assignments?"

I smiled lazily as an answer and added, "I'm finally free!"

"Good! Maybe you'll stop being a hard-ass complaining about every noise now," Raven joked.

I threw a pillow at her face. "You were a pain in the ass this week, Rae. Not me. And sorry, but I really need to rest so I just need one more hour of silence please."

Anya and Raven looked at each other before the blonde addressed me, "Would you mind going to my room then? We were planning on watching the newest Fast and Furious movie… Plus, Lexa's over there probably doing some homework, so no disturbance there!" I considered the option for a few seconds before agreeing and moving to get to Lexa's dorm. I knocked before announcing myself and opening the door.

"Hey, Clarke!" the brunette greeted me smiling.

She was sitting on her bed, a book in her hands and glasses on. I was surprised she wore glasses, but I must admit she looked a bit nerdy and rather cute in them.

"Hey, Lex! Anya told me I could come over here to nap while she and Rae are watching a movie… Do you mind?" I asked a bit shy because I was interrupting her without any announcement.

She moved to the side of her bed. "Not at all. As long as you don't keep me from reading." She winked as to say she wouldn't mind anyway.

I tried to look at the cover of the book, but couldn't read the title as it was mostly faded.

"What are you reading?" I asked intrigued by the seemingly old book.

"Oh, just some old book. It's actually my favorite… Do you know Tristan and Iseult?" she said shyly. I was surprised that an old romantic book was her favorite of all. But after thinking about it, everything about Lexa was surprising.

I eyed her trying to hide my grin as I sat next to her, "If I know Tristan and Iseult? Of course! But come on, it's not better than The knight of the cart with Sir Lancelot!"

She shook her head and argued, "Lancelot had an affair with Guinevere, his King's wife! That's just rude… And plain stupid."

She laughed out loud as I feigned shock before defending, "At least their love was real! It wasn't due to some love potion…"

We simply laughed about the ridiculousness of our fight. We engaged in small talk when I couldn't stop a yawn from escaping.

"You need to rest, Clarke. I'll wake you in an hour so you'll be able to sleep tonight, okay?"

"Thanks, Lex…" I said settling comfortably next to her.

She started stroking my hair and whispered after a while, "You're welcome, Princess."

I woke up to a soft hand brushing a strand of hair behind my ear and the sound of a voice calling my name. I opened my eyes against my will, but didn't regret the effort as my sight met Lexa's beautiful smile.

"Hey there…" I realized I had an arm around Lexa's waist and was clutching her shirt, my head rested on the side of her stomach.

"What time is it? " I asked as I moved away from her and sat up.

"Nearly 7:30… The boys invited all of us to go eat at this little pizzeria down the street. Anya and Raven texted me to tell they were going. Do you want to go? I can stay here with you if you want to rest some more though."

I couldn't believe how considerate she was, always ready to accommodate for others, but I actually wanted to see my friends after a whole week locked up with my computer as sole company. I let her change clothes and we then headed to my dorm so I could do the same. We met with our best friends there and soon enough we were off to meet the others.

Lexa's POV

After we ate our pizza, Anya, Raven, Lincoln, Octavia and Bellamy decided to head to the bar where Echo worked. Although they insisted for everyone to come, Jasper, Monty and Miller left to go play video games and relax. I knew Clarke wouldn't be up for the bar so I decided to go back to the dorms with her, claiming I still had homework to finish. The walk back to the dorms was mostly silent, enjoying each other's company. Just before we reached our building I turned to Clarke, "Were you going to do something? "

"No, I wasn't. Now that I'm done with homework I thought I'd just watch some movie on Netflix…"

"May I join you? I don't really have homework, I just didn't want to go and I also wanted to spend time with you…" I admitted feeling my cheeks redden.

"Of course, " she said smiling, "Do you mind watching a Romcom?"

"Anything you want! After all, I'm the intruder now."

"Thanks for coming with me by the way. I didn't feel like going to the bar but I didn't want to be left alone after having close to no social life this week."

"You're welcome." I said giving her a side hug.

We got into the elevator and as I looked at her, I realized how beautiful she looked tonight. She was wearing simple skinny blue ripped jeans and a black top, with white Converse completing her attire.

"Beautiful…" I breathed out.

"What? " Clarke asked, turning towards me.

"I just can't believe that you're always so beautiful no matter what you wear, no matter how tired you are… You always manage to take my breath away and-"

I was cut off by soft lips on mine. She gently pulled away looking in my eyes with what I dare think was… love? Or maybe was it just appreciation?

"I feel the same, Lex. You don't even seem to realise just how perfect you are."

I interrupted, "I'm far from perfect, Clarke…" She didn't know everything yet. She didn't know about my parents, nor Costia… At least, not in detail.

"To me you are." She kissed me once more. This time, the kiss was different, she showed me just how much she believed what she had just told me. I kissed back with as much conviction, wanting to make her understand I didn't want to let her go, ever. She pressed her body to mine, and seeking more contact I pushed her to one of the elevator's walls pinning her to it and grabbing her hand to bring them on top of her head.

It's crazy how much the sexual tension had been increased only because of the elevator. All of it disappeared as we heard the familiar sound announcing we had reached our floor. We broke the kiss quickly and found four pair of eyes looking at us waiting to get in. Clarke walked out as fast as she could, trying to hide her blush. As I walked past one of the girls going in I heard her whisper, "There's an emergency stop button… For next time." She winked and sent me a flashing smile as she turned away to follow her friends. No wonder the elevator always takes so much time, I thought to myself. Although, I must admit I would've considered pushing that button if I had known of it's utility.

We walked to her dorm and settled on her bed. We looked for movies on Netflix and decided to watch "Friends with benefits". The movie was funny and relaxing, exactly what we both needed. When the song accompanying the credits started playing I got up but I was stopped by Clarke's arms gripping my shirt and pulling me back to the bed. I chuckled as she circled my waist and tangled our legs.

Her head was nestled in the crook of my neck and I could feel her breath on it as she whispered, "Please don't leave yet…"

"I was just going to grab a bottle of water, Clarke." I smiled when she lifted her head to look at me with puppy dog eyes.

"Bet you're not that thirsty and I can convince you to stay here," she said a mischievous look in her eyes.

"Depends what you're implying when you say I'm not thirsty…" I said with a grin as I eyed her from head to toes without shame. She started to blush and I shifted to get on top of her, softly kissing her lips. The kiss heated up pretty fast once she put her hands around my neck and in my hair to pull us impossibly closer. My hands found their way to her hips and stroke up and down her body. I kissed down to her neck, leaving soft love bites and sucking on her pulse point. I felt like I was becoming addicted to the taste of her and I knew I wouldn't be able to stop if I kept going. That's exactly when she brought back my lips to hers and brushed her tongue against mine. The feeling was still new, but felt so familiar at the same time. I moaned as she pulled my hair softly to attend to my neck.

"Clarke…" I panted. I took a breath in before adding, "I don't think I'll be able to stop myself if you keep going on like this."

She kept sucking on my pulse point as she said, "What if I don't want us to stop? "

She then brought her hands to the small of my back, slowly moving them lower to my ass.

"Do you want to stop Lex?" she asked with a husky voice.

I was about to answer when she grabbed my ass and pulled me flush to her hips. All I was able to manage was a gasp.

"That's what I thought, " I felt her smile in the crook of my neck.

I started to kiss down her neck to her chest. Her black top had a nice cleavage and I intended on kissing every inch of skin I could see. Suddenly, she flipped us around and started grinding her hips to mine. We both moaned and as our lips connected once more, the kiss became sloppy, needy, but we both didn't care. All we wanted was-

"Hey, Clarke! Woah!"

We both jumped apart hearing Raven's voice and the door shut close.

"Fuck, Rae! " Clarke, cursed loud enough for her friend to hear.

"I'd say you were already doing that with Lexa! "

I heard what sounded like Anya burst out laughing in the hallway. I looked over to Clarke trying to hold back my laughter, but couldn't help it. I started chuckling and leaned my head on her shoulder. A smile slowly came up to her lips and we were soon both laughing. I kissed her gently and called for Raven to come in. The brunette looked shocked and Anya followed her, still laughing at the brunette's call.

"We definitely need a code or something, Griffin. I don't want to witness something like that ever again."

We all laughed and chatted for a while. Soon enough, Anya got up to head back to the dorm.

"Hey, I was wondering if you would like to come hiking with me tomorrow? Lincoln bailed on me to spend time with Octavia…" I asked Clarke.

"I'd love to go with you. At what time should we leave? "

"Is 10 okay with you? I know you'd like to sleep in a bit…" I said as I moved to hug her.

"Perfect! " she smiled, "See you tomorrow."

"Good night, Clarke." I said before kissing her and heading to my dorm.

As I closed the door, I heard Raven complain to Clarke, "I better not have to deal with all this lovey dovey on a daily basis, Princess. "

I laughed to myself knowing fairly well Anya would react the same way. Those two were made to be together.
