Hi guys! Thanks for the reviews, I really appreciate. After a long time thinking, I announce you that I will stop this story at 20 chapters. I really like it, but I feel like I deviated from my main idea. I would also like to spend more time on my other stories :) But hey, there will still be 5 chapters left to write!
Clarke and Lexa had an aggressive woman in the back of their car; she was yelling, swearing and kicking the seats. It really was annoying and Clarke could see it into the brunette's eyes. She reassured her with a small smile and got her eyes back on the road. It was time to get that woman at the police department, so they could get back home after.
She really was a pain in the ass. Clarke was not sure she'd ever handled someone resisting that much and it was exhausting at some point. After half an hour after they took her inside the SPD, she finally spoke to reveal her identity and confess her crimes. It sounded cliché, but Clarke was the gentle officer and Lexa was the mean and fierce one. The brunette was kind of moody and Clarke didn't knew what has made her like this.
Lincoln opened the interrogation room and made a little head tilt, asking the two officers to come out and talk to him. Lexa was the first out of the room, followed by Clarke. "Finally," The blonde spoke with a small grin. "She confessed; she's the one that helped to cover the murder."
The tall man nodded. "Of course she confessed, we had every single proof to win a trial. Her confession is only good for her because she might spend less time in jail." He looked at Lexa then at Clarke. "You can go home now, I'll take charge of her. Tell Octavia I said hello."
"We'll do, Lincoln. Thank you." Clarke smiled at him and she turned her head to look at Lexa.
Right when she was about to speak, she saw Lieutenant Kane walking towards them and she immediately thought she had done something wrong. Her smile disappeared and Lexa frowned, glaring in the same direction than the blonde. She saw the tall and dark haired man and sighed.
"Good evening officers." She greeted them. "I know your shift is over, but can I speak with you two minutes?"
Lexa agreed with a slight nod and Clarke smiled. "Sure, Lieutenant Kane."
"Good. No need to do this in private." He took a breath and continued. "I'm proud of you, both. You are a really good team and I would like to propose an undercover mission. I will assure you it will be very safe and will only be for less than two months. I can't tell you much more about it, but I'll give you more time to think about it."
Clarke was really surprised by Lieutenant Kane's offer. "Undercover as in… no more contact with friends and family?"
"This is correct. It could compromise the mission and your safety." He replied with a serious face.
Clarke didn't knew what to think about that – especially that Octavia was getting married soon with Lincoln. She had no right to miss her best friend's wedding. She glanced at Lexa and answered Kane. "We'll think about this and give you an answer by the end of the week."
"Good, then. Have a good evening, officers." He said as he was leaving for his office.
The blonde practically dragged Lexa into the changing room. Clarke looked around and found that they were alone. She grabbed the brunette's waist and looked at her, tilting her head to find her avoiding eyes.
"What's going on? You were like that all day." Clarke said with a soft voice.
"… I know, sorry." She got closer to the other woman and hugged her. "Gustus got to the hospital not long ago. He texted me to call him when I was alone and I did when you were getting coffee this afternoon."
Clarke kissed her forehead. "And?" She added, as she was encouraging Lexa to keep going.
"He told me the results." She hugged the blonde a little tighter. "He has a stage four colon cancer."
"You know I'm here for you, you know?" She said to Lexa, cupping her face with her hands. She was thinking about the man, in his early forties, a single dad with two young kids. His wife died giving birth to the last of their children and Lexa was often helping him so he could work and get enough money to put a meal for each of thrice a day.
"Yes… doctors said he had three months or four to live, since he can't afford chemotherapy."
Clarke was saddened to hear that, especially because she knew Lexa had a particularly strong relationship with Gustus. "I didn't really wanted to go in this undercover mission anyway. I'd rather stay here with you." She kissed the girls lips slowly, a simple kiss. "Can I do something for you? Anything?"
They have been seeing each other since two months now and Clarke wasn't still sure how to react to a few things around her. They were sure something, but they never said to anybody they were actually 'girlfriends' or a 'couple'. Nothing was official. The blonde saw a little shy smile growing on Lexa's lips.
"I would really like if you take me out tonight. That'll change my mind."
"If this is what you really want, I'll give that to you.
Clarke was in her room, looking at all the beautiful dresses she could wear for a dinner with Lexa. Octavia was standing at her side with a serious look – choosing outfits were a really serious thing for her, obviously.
"You know, you could just sit on my bed, I'll show you a few dresses and we'll choose."
"Uh uh," She said, shaking negatively her head. "There's no way I'm sitting on this bed – especially after you've never seen someone having that kind of orgasms before."
Clarke gave her a look and smiled. "Oh, come on Blake, I make sure to wash my sheets."
"You're still totally disgusting." She took a dress and smiled. "This one should be perfect with those little blue earrings I have in my room. Change, I'll go get em'."
She quickly changed her casual clothes for the dress Octavia asked her to put on and Clarke immediately knew her best friend was right: she looked really good. Octavia came back a few minutes after and Clarke put the earrings.
"You look perfect. Now, go. She's waiting in the living room." She said with a brief smile, before getting out of Clarke's room.
Clarke took a deep breath and walked to the living room. Lexa was standing there, patiently waiting. At the moment Clarke saw the brunette, her jaws dropped. She opened her eyes wide and a stared for a while. Clarke expected she put the dress she borrowed her for the annual summer party of the Seattle Police Department, but she had completely been fooled by that thought. Lexa was in a beautiful white dress – which she probably bought while shopping with Octavia. Her hair were falling down on her shoulders and she looked like an angel.
"You look beautiful, Lexa." Clarke said with a smile.
