Chapter 2

A/N: Thanks for all the follows, favs and reviews everyone. You people are far too kind. :)

A few moments passed as Raven watched Clarke pace in their room, fidgeting with the helm of her top.

"How can you be sure Clarke? How do you know it's her?" Raven questioned with a straight face.

Clarke stopped pacing and looked at Raven in exasperation. "It's her Raven.. I could never forget those green eyes."

Raven rolled her eyes, "That's how you know? Green eyes? Seriously Clarke.. There are literally thousands of girls our age with green eyes !"

Clarke shot a glare at Raven, but didn't say anything. She flopped down on the bed, her shoulders slumping down slightly. "I don't know how else to explain it.. I just know Raven.."

Raven nudged Clarke's shoulder, "You know or you want her to be?"

"I just know that I want to get to know her.." Clarke looked back at Raven and smiled.

Raven let out a laugh, "Wow.. One meeting with your hottie from the past and you are this smitten? I want to meet her.. right now.. "

Clarke shot a warning glare at Raven as she stood up. "Shut up!". Both started walking towards Octavia's room.

"By the way Raven, I might have just crashed into her and broke her plant pot in the hallway earlier.." Clarke whispered sheepishly.

Raven let out a loud laugh and shook her head, "that's just so... you Clarke". Her response earned her a light shove from Clarke.

As they entered Octavia's room, they saw Lexa unpacking. Clarke just stood there, waiting for no reason. Apparently she found the back of Lexa's head very interesting. Raven glanced once at her friend and then at Lexa and cleared her throat. At the sound, Lexa turned and smiled just a little. Which was enough to send Clarke's stomach fluttering. Clarke waved a little, "Hi again. and this is my room mate, Raven" She pointed towards Raven.

Raven smiled at Lexa in acknowledgment, "Hi, and welcome... How can I help?"

Lexa greeted back,"Thanks, and forget about it. I don't have that much stuff to sort out through anyways. Just books and clothes."

Raven nodded and looked around. Her eyes automatically searching for Octavia, who was nowhere to be seen. "Umm where is Octavia?"

"Oh she met her friend on our way back from the car." Lexa replied cleaning up the mess a little.

Raven shrugged, "I will go check on her.. Clarke here is very good with unpacking". She turned and saw Clarke just standing there and staring at all that was Lexa.

"Oh your girlfriend is gorgeous Clarke" Raven whispered in Clarke's ear and nearly choked on her laughter as she saw Clarke's eyes widen and cheeks tinting red.

Raven controlled her laughter though as she went out of the room, closing the door behind her.

"Thanks for the help, Clarke" Lexa eyed the blond as she replied. Clarke just nodded and smiled back. Her heart was beating a little faster as she took her time to gaze back into those green eyes again.

"It's not a problem." Clarke said as she started unpacking the books.

They both spent next couple of hours together. Initially they worked silently, but talking was Clarke's specialty and soon she was talking about her favorite authors, books, paintings, her favorite colors, hobbies, family, her cat back home and pretty much everything else. One thing she found out was, Lexa was more of a listener than a talker. She found Lexa smiling at Clarke's childhood memories and shenanigans. She was even able to get a chuckle out of Lexa at one of the story involving her cat. Clarke immediately made a mental note of how Lexa's laugh was something special and she wanted to listen to it as often as possible. She was going to try her best to make Lexa laugh.

"Well I have been boring you for past hour with my life story, and I don't know much about you. Other than you really like books, you are fan of Nora Roberts and Jane Austen?" Clarke mused.

"I have just read some of their literature, that's it." Lexa shrugged.

"Wow, now I know almost nothing about you" Clarke was resting against the foot of the bed. Her head resting on her left palm. The light from the window making her golden hair shine a bit more. Lexa couldn't help but steal a look at those blond hair and sighed.

"I am not good at these things Clarke.." Lexa slowly looked into Clarke's eyes and found them filled with questions. "I mean.. socializing.. talking about my life.."

Clarke cleared her throat, "Oh you don't have to.. I am sorry.. I didn't mean to pry.. "

Lexa felt guilty as she saw the crestfallen look in Clarke's eyes. She didn't like it at all. She felt bad for being responsible for it. Being unable to share her past with a stranger.. a gorgeous stranger nonetheless, but still a stranger. She wasn't ready yet.

Clarke noticed the change in Lexa's demeanor and to lighten the mood she let out the first thing that came into her mind. "Well how about you tell me one thing about you, whenever you can or want to? It doesn't matter how small or big it is." Clarke asked while bringing her puppy dog eyes in the game too.

Lexa laughed as she looked at Clarke's face. "Fine..."

A few moments passed.

"You aren't leaving without getting at least one thing out of me, are you?" Lexa asked.

Clarke just sat there with a smile on her face.

Lexa rolled her eyes. "I had a dog when I was little. Her name was Luna."

Clarke waited patiently for Lexa to reveal more and after a few moments of utter silence, she rolled her eyes. "wow.. You really are a hard ass.."

Lexa furrowed her brow in challenge and Clarke's cheeks turned a slight shade of red. She quickly changed the subject. The last thing she wanted was to think about Lexa's ass. Or was it the first thing? Clarke shook her head at the images that started popping inside her head.

"Okay Lexa; who had a dog named Luna, Raven and I are going to a nearby cafe in the evening. Maybe you can join us? Just for a coffee. Ask Octavia too." Clarke bombarded Lexa in her usual style.

Lexa considered the proposal just for a moment before nodding. It was just a coffee with friends or soon to be friends perhaps. And she wanted to get to know this whirlwind of a personality called Clarke.
