Chapter 3: Dude What Is That On The Floor?

Lexa couldn't stop smiling the whole drive home. Clarke was unlike any other girl she had ever met, and Lexa was an idiot for her. She barely knew Clarke but she was already attached to the blonde, and that both scared and excited the brunette.

When she finally arrived home she was met with the sight of Raven in nothing but a shirt lying face down on the couch.

"Wow Rae you reached a new low there buddy?"

"Shut the fuck up Lexa I think I'm in love."

Lexa raised her eyebrow at her friend looking at her like she was insane, which she was, "Rae you've known this girl not even a day how can you be in love you sponk?"

"Okay maybe not in love but babe, I don't think you understand, she's wonderful and brilliant and she does this thing with her tongue where she..."

"Okay! I do not want to hear about that thanks, please keep your sex life to yourself."

"I know you're jealous babe cos you want a piece of my hot arse but you got the cute blonde from last night!"

"Speaking of which guess who just got back from her date with said cute blonde."

Raven jumped up and sat up straight on the couch, her face lighting up in excitement, Lexa thought if she were a dog her tail would be wagging.

"Don't spare the dirty details I wanna know everything!"

Lexa told her all about their date and how it was nothing major just a cute little thing and nothing really happened.

"Fucking hell Lex I swear I trained you better than that, why aren't you knuckle deep in her already?"

Lexa scoffed at her friend looking affronted she would even think Lexa would do that, "because Reyes some of us don't hop in bed with the next available person."

"I resent your implication I don't 'hop in bed with the next available person' I have standards I will have you know, they have to be hot too."

Lexa shook her head at her best friend and sat next to her knocking into her slightly.

"Dude what is that on the floor?" Indicating to the red lace sticking out from under the coffee table.

"Oh no missy we are so not changing the subject! And don't act like you've never seen a thong before! You haven't been on a date since the middle ages you are so talking about how Clarke gives you heart palpitations and how you are going to have her babies!"

Just as Lexa was about to respond, offended that the mechanic would even think that she was so easily affected by the blonde her phone rang.

"Wow Clarke, miss me already?"

Raven stuck her tongue between two finger and winked at her friend earning a slap from the brunette.

"Lexa, can you come over as soon as you can, there's something I need to talk to you about."

"Yeah sure I'll be there as soon as I can."

The blonde thanked her and hung up the phone not waiting for a response.

"Hmm let me guess you're about to go over and have hot kinky sex with your lucky lady am I right?"

"No you're not, I think something's wrong. I'll see you in a bit and get a shower you reek of sex!"

Lexa made it to Clarke's house in record time, remembering where she lived from last night. Clarke sounded worried on the phone earlier and Lexa was worried that the other woman was in trouble of some sort. She quickly parked outside the house and made her way to the front door, knocking twice. It didn't take long for the door to swing open and reveal the blonde. Her hair was wild like the blonde had been running her hands through it constantly, her eyes were red and she looked agitated.

"Lexa, hi, come in we need to talk."

Lexa followed Clarke into her living room and sat down next to the disturbed blonde.

"Clarke, what is it what's wrong?"

Clarke looked into her eyes and frowned slightly, she looked down at her hands and then back up to Lexa's eyes. She shook her head slightly and focused back on her hands.

"Okay there's something I need to tell you, something I want to tell you but I can't."

Lexa frowned in confusion and moved closer to the blonde, "what is it I don't understand."

"There's something about me you should know, but I can't tell you yet because I mean I barely know you, but Lex the thing that I need to tell you means that we have to keep our relationship on the down low, I don't mean a secret I just mean private okay, I just, fuck I wish I could tell you but I can't and I really want to, but I also understand if this is too much for you to take in or whatever I know it's a lot I just, I..."

"Clarke you need to stop talking."

The brunette softly cupped Clarke's face as the blonde looked up at her in confusion, "I might not understand why, but you have your reasons, as long as that reason isn't that I'm your bit on the side and you don't want your partner to know or that I don't know you're an international drug dealer who has to keep a low profile so people don't chop my fingers off or something, it's okay."

Clarke leaned in and kissed the other woman softly before pulling away, "I don't know what I did to get someone as amazing as you but thank you, I honestly can't tell you how relieved I am that you understand."

Lexa nodded her head once and was about to lean in again before her phone rung, interrupting their moment. She swore quietly under her breath causing the blonde to chuckle as she answered her phone.

"Raven Reyes I swear to all things holy this better be good."

"Yeah yeah sorry to interrupt your shag but I need you to come home, like right now, preferably with a taser."

"Whoa what's up?"

"Fuckboi Finn is stood outside our apartment and he won't leave so I need you to come home and taser his nuts off for me."
