Hello! Thank you for following this story!
So i know the first chapter was quite similar to the movie, but from this chapter on it will start to change more, following just the premise of the film.

Also, you should imagine Wells and Clarke dancing to "Time After Time" by Chet Baker during the scene when she starts daydreaming. The song was chosen by him. Anyway, i won't bore you anymore and let you dig in.

Clarke and Wells attended a baseball game and were looking for their seats, Clarke couldn't find the perfect time to tell her husband that she had invited the florist - a woman they've seen once well, you've met her twice- to their house. She couldn't find the words to explain why the hell she felt the need to go and thank her AND ask her to come have a meal with them, but she did and she had to tell him now cause Friday was soon approaching.

"I invited Lexa to dinner" Clarke blurted out.

"Lexa, the florist?" He kept looking at their tickets trying to find the matching numbers on the back of the chairs.

"Yeah, I have a plan"

"Not one of your plans" Wells joked and Clarke punched him playfully on the shoulder.

"We can invite Bellamy as well, I think they would make a nice match, don't you?"

"Maybe, yeah, Bellamy definitely thought she was beautiful"

Well, she is beautiful.

"There you go, it's on then"

"Ahh! Babe, this is us" They finally sat down and Clarke was starting to lose Wells' attention but she didn't realize, herself being completely enthralled talking about the florist.

"It's curious you know? I went to say thanks for what she did at our wedding…"

"I want a hot dog; do you want one?" Clarke shook her head.

"You know that feeling when you see someone and you can feel you could be great friends?"

"Yes, one please" Wells signaled to the vendor passing through the rows.

"Who knows why… Past life, maybe? We just… clicked" She realized she was being a little bit silly.

"That's sweet" He turned to fastly look at her and then turn his face to the field again "Okay, it's starting, Clarke"

She spent the whole game thinking about how it would be meeting the woman in another life, meeting her in every life, the circumstances always changing, some times seeing each other for just a second and other times knowing each other forever, she shook her head Wow Clarke… really? She was trying to understand why she felt so drawn to this woman despite having only seen her two times, she could not stop thinking about her and was actually driving her a little insane. As a woman who always defined herself as straight, thinking that what she was feeling could be actual sexual and romantic attraction was not even an option it's just admiration, Clarke kept repeating to herself.

Wells was so into the game that he didn't realize his wife was lost in thought with a frown on her face, he was so used to Clarke being quiet when watching something that he did not think more of her lack of words.

"Lexa was lying on the couch watching FRIENDS reruns when her cellphone rang.

"Hey Ray, how's everything at the lab, when are you coming?"

"Sub, babe. All is good, I'm actually on my way home, do you want me to pick up some food or something?"

"Oh, chinese would be wonderful" the brunette took her glasses off and rubbed her eyes.

"Alright, see you in a bit"

They hung up and Lexa stared at the screen again. To tell the truth she wasn't even paying attention to the show, it was Thursday night and she was extremely nervous about seeing Clarke again, all week she kept thinking of excuses to cancel but she was also very excited to see the woman that has been visiting in dreams since the wedding last Friday.

I got to tell Raven about her, she thought.

She was very bored while waiting for Raven and started braiding her hair in complicated patterns, humming a familiar tune. The bell rang and she stood up to open her door, greeting a smiley Raven Reyes, she walked past the green eyed woman into the kitchen.

"I am spent. This week has been awful and Wick is an asshole, I mean, I already knew that but he is really pushing it lately."

"What did he do now?"

"He grabbed my hand in front of the whole lab today and tried to kiss me goodbye"

"Raven, you are such a drama queen, let your damn boyfriend be nice to you" she followed her words with the perfect eye roll.

"I've told him I don't like PDA at work, all the other guys already think sleeping with him got me the job"

"It didn't?" Lexa gasped.

Raven looked like she was going to kill her friend and Lexa started laughing.

"Oh, come on Ray, laugh a little. Wick loves you and it shouldn't matter what everybody else thinks"

Raven huffed and started serving the Chinese food into two plates.

"What are you doing tomorrow night? I was thinking we could go out for some drinks"

"I am… going out"

"You have a date?!" Raven screamed and looked at her incredulous.

"No… Yes… No… I have a friend date"

"A friend date?" The brunette put her hand on her hips "Lexa… I'm your only friend"

"I made a new one…?" You are pushing it, Lexa, just tell her.

"Are you gonna spill or am I gonna have to start asking questions?"

"She's the bride of the wedding I worked for last Friday…" Lexa started rubbing her hands nervously and looked down "I don't know, we just… Clicked"

"Clicked?"

"Yeah, she came Monday morning to thank me and invite me to dinner"

"Lex..."

"I know what you're thinking… It's not like that… I mean, for one, she's married and two, she's married to a man"

"So you're telling me you don't find her attractive at all and that you just clicked in a friend way"

Lexa stayed in silence and clenched her jaw.

"You like her, you hoe!" Raven laughed and threw a towel on Lexa's face.

"That's not possible, Raven"

"It's possible, it's just not right" The brown eyed girl soon realized her friend was in actual turmoil and walked to hug her.

"Come on, let's just eat and watch some trashy TV" She grabbed both plates and walked to the couch.

They ate in silence and Raven tried to crack a joke once in a while until the vibe stopped being uncomfortable, before leaving to her own home next door, she hugged her friend tightly.

"Good luck tomorrow, babe. Love you"

"Night Ray, love you too. Stop giving Wick such a hard time"

Lexa closed the door, brushed her teeth and went straight to bed. Okay, let's try to sleep.

Friday night came in, Lexa normally doesn't get too dressed up for anything, I like to be comfortable, she always says but she wants to try today, she put on her contacts, she French braided her hair and has spent the last hour trying on outfits.

Text to Ray [16:45]

HELP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WEAR

Text from Ray [16:47]

Just wear sexy lingerie and a trenchcoat ;) I'm sure she'll like that

Text to Ray [16:48]

This is not funny Raven Maria Reyes!

Text from Ray [16:52]

Okay, I'm sorry. How about that white blouse I love and the jeans your ass looks amazing in? Yes! Wear that. Love you, you'll be fine, don't stare too much at her.

Text to Ray [17:16]

Thanks. Love you too.

After finishing dressing up she contemplated herself in the mirror and nodded; she decided she should bring something to dinner, looked at her wristwatch Okay, I still got time and walked to her shop to pick some nice bouquet to give to the couple and then walk to Clarke and Wells' place.

All the way to their apartment she kept thinking it was a bad idea to have accepted the invitation Is it worth it? You cannot fall in love, Lexa, she reprimanded herself and for some reason, for her, there were only two options either she was going to have to admit to the fact that from the moment their eyes met, Lexa had felt something greater than she'd ever felt and there was no going back and suck it up cause damn it, she's freaking married, or she was going to have to walk away and suck it up. Yeah, Lexa was pretty much screwed.

Lexa was gripping the bouquet very tightly, a beautiful assortment of China asters and zinnias in all shades of pink I think she'll like these, the woman thought as she chose the flowers she'd take.

She finally made it to the building, walked upstairs until she found apartment 307 and knocked on the door.

"Coming!" Wells screamed from inside.

The woman was fiddling with the bottom of her blouse when the door opened.

"Hello!" The man greeted with a warm and welcoming smile "Come on in, Clarke will be out any minute."

"Thank you" Lexa stepped into the house. "I... ah brought some flowers"

"They're lovely, Lexa, thank you very much"

Clarke walked into the room looking completely stunning in a black dress, Lexa almost dropped the flowers while handing them to the blonde's husband.

"Lexa, hi!" She came closer to the brunette and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.

"We should put this on water" The man said.

"Oh let me do that" Clarke took the flowers from Wells and walked to the kitchen to find a vase, leaving her husband and the florist alone again.

"So, Lexa, please sit down" He gestured to the couch.

"Tell me a little about yourself"

"Well, basically I've always wanted to be a writer, to write about my travels"

"Where have you gone?"

"Well… I haven't really been out of the States"

"Why?" Lexa felt a little sorry for Wells.

"Oh, you know… Clarke, life, work… Clarke…" The way he said it was not as pessimistic as one would think, Lexa could see that he was completely in love with Clarke and that he would always choose her and her happiness before his own dreams and that he was fine with it.

"Well, someday" She tried to say encouragingly.

"Yeah, maybe" he sighed.

"So how's married life treating you?" Lexa decided to change the subject to a lighter and happier subject.

"It's really good, there hasn't been a big change but I think that's because I've known her for so long"

Lexa nodded.

"Are you married? Were you ever married?"

"No, I have never been married"

"Do you want to get married?"

"I do but haven't found the perfect girl yet"

"Girl?"

"Yes, I'm gay"

He started laughing until he realized she was not joking Why would she joke, you idiot? … Being gay is not a joke.

"Brilliant! Good for you."

They waited for Clarke to come back from the kitchen to end the awkward silence but a knock on the door beat her to it.

"That must be Bellamy."

"Bellamy's coming?" Wells nodded

"This should be interesting"

Dinner was actually turning out to be quite pleasant, Wells kept Bellamy at bay with the flirting but whenever he did say something to Lexa, Clarke felt angry and changed the path of the conversation. Somehow it was never really focused on either of the men, the girls almost talked to each other as if they were alone, not in an impolite way, of course, and definitely not on purpose. They all learned about the brunette's best friend Raven and how they met during college waiting in line for a coffee, they learned that she loved poetry "specially Neruda" she had said, they learned about her love for flowers and why she decided to open a flower shop, Clarke could feel that Lexa wasn't really telling the real reason as to why she did because the woman kept looking down at her hands and looked a little less confident than during the rest of the conversation.

Lexa in return learned about how Clarke's mother wanted her to be a doctor but she always hated the fact that she was always working, never home and she loved art way too much so she decided -with the encouragement of her father- to go to School of Visual Arts, she felt a warm feeling spreading in her chest when Clarke started reciting sonnet xvii because yes, that is Lexa's favorite poem and Wow, she knows it by heart.

"So, okay tell us, is sex better after getting married?" Bellamy half joked, half asked seriously drinking from his glass of white wine, everyone already having finished eating.

Everybody laughed, Clarke looked at Lexa very fast to gauge her reaction before saying "Why don't you get wed and find out?"

"No, no, I'm not a one-person person, besides, I wouldn't know if I met the right one"

"Well…" Clarke paused, thinking how she knew she'd marry Wells "I don't think you know straight away, it feels warm and comfortable and you give it a chance and one day you just realize" She grabs Wells' hand "Yeah, this is it, it must be love" They smile at each other.

"Yeah, I'm with her"

"I'm not" Everyone turned to look at Lexa. "I think you know right away, as soon as your eyes meet and every moment after that is just confirmation that you were right… That you were incomplete and now you are whole"

"Actually I'm with her" Wells said with a smile and Bellamy made an approving sound. "So, dessert?"

"Yes" the brunette said

"No" Clarke looks at her with a defiant look on her face.

"No?"

"If you think that, then it means that anyone who doesn't have that is settling for less…"

"That's… not what I'm saying"

"But it kind of is." The blonde was trying to win the argument because if she didn't, it would mean that what she had with Wells was a lie, and that what she had felt when she first looked at Lexa on that church was real, and that could not be real.

They stood up and Clarke took the dirty dishes to the kitchen, Wells and Bellamy went into the living room to talk and Lexa excused herself to the bathroom, but after a while the blonde noticed the other woman was missing and walked through all the rooms looking for her, finally finding her upstairs, in the balcony; Lexa was hugging herself looking at the night sky so intently, like she was looking for someone in the stars, it was so peaceful she didn't want to interrupt it, so she stayed put on the threshold staring at Lexa while Lexa looked up… Until it started raining, but the brunette didn't move.

"What are you doing?" Clarke screamed.

"It's gorgeous"

"Come here, you'll get sick" And Lexa did, slowly she got closer to the other woman and they both walked inside the house.

"You're wet, and you're cold"

"I'm fine" Lexa smiled at the woman's exaggeration.

Clarke took of her sweater, delicately put it on Lexa's shoulders and left her hands there, they looked into each other's eyes for longer than necessary; the brunette soon realized what was happening and mentally reprimanded herself before clearing her throat and looked down.

"Thank you, and thank you for inviting me, I've had a really nice time" She smiled.

"It was my pleasure" Clarke blushed a little, she turned away from Lexa so the woman didn't notice.

"Clarke, come downstairs! Bellamy is leaving and wants to know if Lexa wants a ride"

Bellamy decided to wait in the car for Lexa to finish saying goodbye.

"Again, thank you so much, I had a great time"

"It's no problem, Lexa, let's do it again soon" Wells said, he thought it was nice since both women had quite a lot in common and he could see that his wife had also had a great time

Lexa looked at him first and then at her, Clarke was blushing and looking down, they stayed in silence until the blonde looked at Lexa and the brunette flashed her a very warm smile.

"That sounds… lovely" She smiles and hugged Wells but when she was going to hug Clarke they kind of stopped midway, instead they both looked at each other and waved.

As soon as she closed the door, Clarke sighed and thought I can't see her again.
