CHAPTER 5

WHEN LOVE STRIKES

Lexa woke up without Clarke on her side. A sudden feeling of sadness washed over her. She tried to fight it though, she just couldn't risk her feelings under this circumstances. Love will just make her weak. She couldn't let herself fall in love with Clarke.

But that kiss though…

It was…

Heart-stopping…

Magical…

Amazing…

And…

The sudden opening of her door made her jolt in alarm. She hissed as soon as she felt pain on her wound.

"Lexa! Omygod what happened?!" Clarke entered the room with a worried expression on her face. She was carrying a food tray that she set aside on the table as soon as she saw Lexa in pain.

"It's fine, Clarke." Lexa breathed. "I was just…"

Clarke's hands were on Lexa's shoulders that made the brunette stop. She shivered at Clarke's touch. The blonde noticed that so she pulled away immediately. Both girls blushed.

After few agonizing seconds, Clarke spoke, "I brought you breakfast."

Lexa cleared her throat, "Uhm… you shouldn't have. I can go to the kitchen and…"

Clarke took the tray and handed it to her, "Stop being stubborn and eat." She said firmly.

Lexa nodded. She tried to hide her blush as she realized how hot Clarke sounded right now.

Clarke muttered curses under her breath when she saw Lexa's soak bandages. "I need to change your bandage. We don't want it to get infected." She went straight to the bathroom to gather first aid supplies.

Lexa looked at her bandages, flashes of what happened that night clouded her vision. The doctor told her to avoid strenuous activities but what she did last night (which was flipping Clarke so she could top her while kissing) was an activity that she should be avoiding for now. Lexa blushed. Hard.

Clarke returned at her side, eyebrows furrowed as she murmured angrily at Lexa for being hardheaded. She asked Lexa how did that happened.

Lexa bowed her head, her cheeks reddened in embarrassment. "That must have been last night when I… when we… you know…"

"Oh."

Clarke blushed as she tried to process Lexa's words.

"Yeah." Lexa murmured.

Clarke looked away as she tried to hide her red cheeks. "I'm sorry. I have no idea that I did that." She murmured in embarrassment.

"It's not your fault Clarke. I wasn't being careful." Lexa replied. Clarke turned to look at her and once again, both girls stared at each other.

Lexa was the one who broke eye contact but without thinking, Lexa found herself looking at Clarke's luscious lips. She felt her mouth dry. Suddenly, she felt thirsty.

Clarke, on the other hand, saw Lexa's line of vision. She swallowed hard as she observed Lexa's thirst on her lips.

"Clarke…" Lexa muttered under her breath.

But before Lexa could lean down, Clarke stood up abruptly.

"Okay… uhm, I really need to change your bandage so please stop looking at me like that." She said in a light voice as she tried so hard to mask her embarrassment.

Lexa, even in her embarrassed state, couldn't help but to laugh lightly. "I'm sorry if I can't help myself in devouring your lips inside my mind." She said with a cheeky grin. Lexa is so gay. She is the queen of gays, as a matter of fact.

Clarke's eyes went wide. "LEXA!" Her blush deepened once again. "Oh my god. It's not helping!" She covered her face with her hand, she felt like a high school teenage girl.

Lexa's confidence rose. There's no need to hide the fact that she was caught staring at Clarke's delicious lips. She chuckled, "I thought you're going to change my bandage?"

"Right!" Clarke sat beside her again. "And stop distracting me." She glared at the brunette.

"I'm not." Lexa smiled.

But Clarke didn't believe her. "Just stop." She started to fix Lexa's bandage.

"Okay." Lexa said but couldn't help herself as she stared back at the blonde's lips again. How she wished she could kiss her again.

"Lexaaaaaa!" Clarke whined as she saw Lexa's thirst again on her lips. It was really making her dizzy and HOT.

Lexa was mesmerized. She wanted to kiss Clarke again. She will do everything to kiss her again. She ignored Clarke's whining as she closed her eyes and started to lean towards Clarke.

Clarke's breath hitched as she watched Lexa, with her eyes closed, leaning towards her. Their lips were inches apart from each other when Clarke pinched Lexa's arm.

Lexa stifled a groan. "What was that for?" She couldn't believe that Clarke just did that.

Clarke's eyebrow rose, "Just kiss me when I'm finished. Don't distract me while I'm doing this for you, okay? This is important."

Lexa smiled like a child who was invited to go in an amusement park. Clarke found herself loving her bodyguard's reaction. "Really? I get to kiss you again when this is over?"

Clarke smirked and nodded.

"Okay. I'll behave now."

Needless to say, Lexa didn't get her kiss reward from Clarke because the maid came and delivered information that President Griffin asked for her daughter immediately.


"Lexa and I kissed for the first time last night." Clarke blurted out. Raven and Octavia looked at her, their jaw dropped.

"Normally I asked for details but you do know that I'm pissed at your bodyguard right? BUT goddammit! I can't help it. How did it go?" Raven said that made Clarke chuckled.

Octavia just rolled her eyes at Raven's antics. "How did it happen? Who made the first move? Did you made the first move again, Clarke?" Octavia fired her own question.

Clarke's cheeks reddened in embarrassment. "She kissed me."

"Okay…" Raven rolled her eyes. "How was it?"

Clarke swallowed hard. "It was magical, amazing even. There's fireworks and sparks and all that shit that you could read in a romance novel."

"Oh." Raven and Octavia said in unison. Their jaw dropped.

"Wait." Raven was the one who recovered first, "You read that kind of shit?"

"Hey!" Clarke crossed her arms as she tried to hide her embarrassment. "They're nice to read."

Raven laughed. "I can't believe playgirl fashion designer Clarke Griffin loves to read romance novels. This is a huge scoop!"

Octavia slapped Raven's shoulders and glared at her. Then she turned towards Clarke, "You're falling for Lexa." It was a statement not a question.

"Uh-oh." Raven reacted.

"I'm not." Clarke looked away.

"You're falling for her, Clarke." Octavia insisted. "Does your heart beat fast whenever she is near?

Clarke thought deeply and nodded.

"Do you think about her all the time?"

Clarke nodded once again.

"Do you dream about her often?"

Clarke nodded in defeat as she looked away.

"Does her eyes mesmerized you under any circumstances?" Octavia continued with her questions.

"Yes."

"Did her kisses made your heart jumped?"

"Yes."

"Do you feel butterflies in your stomach when you are with her?"

"Yes. Oh god." Clarke mumbled at the realization Octavia presented at her.

"DO YOU WANT TO BE WITH HER?" Octavia finished that made Clarke gasp. "Then that's your answer Clarke, you're totally falling for Commander Lexa Woods."

"Oh my god." Clarke sighed. "I'm falling in love with Lexa and I don't even know if she feels the same way."

What will I do?


It had been three days since Clarke visited Lexa on her room. Lexa found herself missing the blonde so badly. She wanted to blame herself for being too forward with her the last time but she just couldn't control herself.

Her heart beats faster again as she tried to recall their kiss. It was amazing and she wanted to do it again, with Clarke's permission of course. But it seems like Clarke was ignoring her.

This is bad. She cursed under her breath. Her feelings were on the line. She was just supposed to seduce Clarke into submission but she realized now that she cared for the blonde more than ever.

You're doing this for your sister Anya. She mentally reminded herself. She needs to stick out with the plan so she could save her sister from that bastard Pike.

Speaking of which, her cellphone rang and Pike's number appeared on the screen.

She picked it up.

"Hello Lexa. How are you doing?"

"I got shot. Funny thing is, your men had a clear shot but he chose to hit my arm. Why is that? You could have killed me." She said, gritting her teeth.

The man on the other line chuckled. "That wasn't my intention, kid. That was just a reminder, a warning of some sort. And also, a way to the President daughter's heart. Wouldn't you agree?"

Lexa's eyes widen. "What do you mean with that?"

"You're not my only connection there, kid. I have a spy and that person reported that you were having a rough time seducing Princess Griffin. So I felt the need to help you."

Lexa gritted her teeth. "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT! I COULD HANDLE IT ON MY OWN!"

"Relax kid. There's no need to get all worked up. You do remember that I still have your sister. So stick with the plan and everyone will be happy, well except for the Griffin ladies." Pike laughed that made Lexa's stomach churned in anger.

Lexa moved her jaw as she tried to control her anger. "Give me more time. I'm still injured because of you."

"Okay. I'll give you an extension but make sure that you stick with the plan. I need young Griffin at the safe house then we'll do the exchange."

Lexa agreed.

"And by the way, you're welcome. If you ever get laid, you owe me one." Pike said before ending the call.

Lexa threw her pillows as she growled in anger.


"Lexa." Clarke knocked twice at Lexa's door but no one answered. It was already nighttime but Clarke couldn't wait, she wanted to see Lexa.

She tried to avoid her feelings for Lexa but the more she avoided it, the more she missed her. So badly.

So after three agonizing days, she decided to visit her in her room.

She knocked once again. "Lexa. Can I come in?"

No one answered.

With a heavy heart, she walked back to her room and decided to get fresh air outside her balcony.

Her breath was caught in her throat as she saw Lexa at the balcony of her own room. Lexa was wearing a thin nightgown, her back was exposed. Clarke's heart stopped at the sight of her back tattoo. This is not the first time she saw Lexa's tattoo. She had recalled she caught a glimpse of it at the pool but she was so angry with Lexa at that time that she didn't even pay attention that much. Unlike now, Clarke's eyes feasted on Lexa's sexy back. Her long curly hair was fixed at the side exposing her skin.

Clarke was admiring the view before her when Lexa turned around thus seeing Clarke at the other side. Lexa was caught off guard. She didn't expect seeing Clarke there. The blonde was wearing a blue V-neck nightgown and her cleavage was exposed that made Lexa swallowed hard.

"Good evening, Clarke." She smiled.

The blonde walked towards the edge of the balcony. "I was looking for you."

"You are?" Lexa asked.

"I knocked at your door but you're not answering so I thought you're already asleep." Clarke said.

"I'm sorry I didn't hear."

"It's okay. I just want to know if you're doing fine. It had been…"

"Three days, Clarke." Lexa supplied eagerly. She mentally berated at herself for sounding too eager.

"Right." Clarke nodded as she tried to hide her blush, "Does your arm still hurt?"

"I heal fast so I'll be back on track in a few days." The brunette replied.

"You should still rest and…"

Lexa cut her off. "I miss you. I want to go back to work fast so I could be with you."

"You mean that?" Clarke asked, her heart jumped.

Lexa nodded. With or without Pike's plan, Lexa knew deep inside her heart that she meant it. But her concern for her sister Anya still prevails. So she battled with her feelings. Mind over heart. That's what she told herself.

Clarke smiled. They stare at each other's eyes for a while. It was a good thing that they were apart from each other or else, Clarke wouldn't be able to control herself.

"Goodnight, Commander." She said softly.

Lexa smiled, the tension was gone. Or so she thought. "Goodnight, Miss Griffin." She replied.

Clarke was about to go back inside her room when she noticed something. "Your bandage. Did you changed it after the last time I did it for you?"

Lexa shook her head, looked at her arm then smiled sheepishly.

Clarke rolled her eyes even though she found Lexa looking adorably cute.

"I'll be there in your room." She said.

"I could come over." Lexa replied, her cheeks burning at the thought.

"Okay." Clarke replied.


It took Lexa 10 minutes to gather up her courage to walk into Clarke's room. She felt weird like there were butterflies swirling around inside her stomach at the thought of entering Clarke's room and seeing her up close in that sexy blue nightgown.

She knocked at Clarke's door finally. Her breath was caught in her throat at the sight of the blonde.

On the other hand, Clarke was distracted at Lexa's super high slit. The commander's sexy long right leg made her mouth waters. She mentally cursed herself for being pervert.

"Come in, Lexa." She said as soon as she found her voice.

"Thank you, Clarke." Lexa said as she entered the blonde's room. Her heart was beating fast that she almost slipped on the carpeted floor of Clarke's room.

"You can sit on the couch." Clarke said as she made her way towards the couch. Lexa followed behind.

Lexa shivered at Clarke's delicate touch when she started to unwrap her bandage. She still couldn't take her eyes off Clarke though. The silence was deafening so she decided to talk to ease the tension. "How was your day, Clarke?"

"It was fine." Clarke answered simply.

"You were gone for three days. Did I made you uncomfortable?" Lexa asked that made Clarke stopped.

She shook her head and stared at Lexa, "No, you didn't."

Lexa nodded, "I'm sorry if I was being forward the last time."

Clarke shook her head, "No need to apologized." The blonde was trying so hard to keep her hands steady when she continued her task. Lexa's after shower scent filled her senses and she was really trying so hard not to make the first move.

She remembered Octavia telling her that she should wait for Lexa's first move this time. Clarke was obviously falling for Lexa but they couldn't tell if the brunette feels the same way. And of course, Clarke doesn't want to look pathetic in front of Lexa now that feelings are involved in her part.

She finished her task without breaking apart. She almost patted herself on the back for doing a great job. "You're all done."

"Thank you, Clarke." Lexa replied.

Clarke stood up, "Goodnight, Commander." She repeated what she said earlier.

Lexa gave her a timid smile as she stood up too. "Goodnight, Clarke."

Clarke nodded.

They were caught once again with each other's gaze that Clarke almost forgot how to breathe. She wanted to be kissed. She was waiting for it.

Lexa's eyes went down on her lips. Clarke couldn't even control herself when unconsciously, her lips parted slightly.

Lexa was staring at Clarke's inviting lips. When Clarke's lips parted slightly, she felt her knees weakened. That was clearly an invitation, right?

Clarke almost moaned when she saw Lexa wets her bottom lip with her tongue. They were observing each other's lips for few seconds that seems like forever for both of them.

Neither of them wanted to make the move first.

But both wanted to be kissed.

The tension was real.

The thirst was real.

It was Lexa who first broke. She leaned towards Clarke's slightly parted lips and brushed them with her own.

Clarke's self control faded when Lexa made the first move, she wrapped her arms around Lexa's nape and angled her head for Lexa so she could deepened the kiss.


Sorry I have to give a cliffhanger on this one. lol

Anyway, will they do it? or won't they?

That is the question :)
