A/N: My first ever "The 100" fanfic and it has now more than 100 follows ! You people are just simply awesome.

It was a quite Sunday morning. Lexa had plans to meet Anya for breakfast, after her morning jog. As she reached the diner, she checked her watch. She had arrived quite early. She took a big sip of water as she sat near the window. After ordering for both of them, she checked her phone. She had a text from Anya saying that she was on her way and a message from Clarke, wishing her a good morning. She smiled as she put her phone down. She had tried to not think about all things Clarke but found herself failing miserably. She tried to concentrate on other things but a simple text from Clarke or remembering a single moment with her would fill her mind completely. The latest incident was this morning when she ran directly into an older man and fell down on the pavement when she was thinking about Clarke's laugh the last time they talked. She rubbed her forehead at the sore spot and sighed. She pulled out Clarke's note from her pocket and read it again. Just as she laughed about Clarke's silly and surely unintentional word play, she felt her note being snatched by someone. She looked up and saw Anya's amused face.

"Thanks for the movie and pizza. I had a lovely time. See you Monday at Octavia's try outs? And umm sorry if you can't walk straight tomorrow. - Clarke" Anya read out the note loudly and raised her eyebrow at Lexa.

Lexa laughed. "It's not what it sounds like."

"It's not? Sounds like quite an eventful date Lex. About time you got some action." Anya quipped as she sat down.

"Nooo... We just watched a movie and fell asleep on the couch. She kinda fell asleep on my leg. It was a bit numb in the morning and that's what she means." Lexa huffed. "Why am I even bothering explaining to you. Just drink your coffee Anya." Lexa sighed.

Anya smiled as she took a sip of her coffee. "So.. what's new? Other than getting a girlfriend and not telling me about her?" Anya asked casually.

Lexa rolled her eyes. "She is not my girlfriend Anya. I am not even sure if she is looking for something like that. We have just met and all I know is I like spending time with her."

Anya took Lexa's hand in our own and smiled genuinely. "and it's about time Lexa..."

Lexa looked into Anya's eyes and nodded. A moment of understanding passed between two friends. After closely watching Lexa's face, Anya relaxed into her chair.

"Oh and you are right. She can't be your girlfriend. She hasn't even passed my test yet." Anya said in a slightly evil tone.

Lexa glared at her, "You are not interrogating her Anya. I am warning you."

Anya just shrugged and began going through her breakfast. For the time being, she decided to keep her phone call with Clarke earlier in the morning to herself.

Clarke chewed on her fingernails as she sat impatiently in a small French restaurant. She was ten minutes early as usual and decided to familiarize herself with the surroundings. Even though it was a Sunday, there weren't that many people around. The table she had selected gave her a nice view of the street. As she was looking around, her eyes caught a tall figure at the door. She smiled and waved at Anya. As Anya's eyes caught glimpse of the blond, she smiled back and joined Clarke at her table.

"You are a cop?" Clarke couldn't help but ask as she saw a glimpse of a badge and a gun under Anya's jacket.

"Just gave a Sergeant exam actually." Anya smirked.

"Wow.."

"Thanks Clarke.. I believe you had something to ask of me?"

Clarke described how she met Lexa. As she was talking, Anya interrupted her, a bit surprised.

"She told you about her grandma?"

"umm yeah.. about how she got that plant from her.."

Anya nodded. Still getting around the idea of Lexa opening up to the girl sitting in front of her. She encouraged Clarke to continue.

"Umm did she tell you about the nursery where the plant is right now?" Clarke asked.

"She didn't but I know. There is this botanical garden where she has spent a lot of time. The owner is an old friend of my mom. She has helped Lexa with her interest in botany."

"Did she always liked plants and flowers?"

"Oh yes.. Lexa loves nature. It's the place where she feels most comfortable. Sometimes I wonder how she is doing in this new city."

Clarke nodded.

"Past few days though, I have seen her smile quite often. Does that have something to do with you Clarke?"

Clarke blushed. "How long have you two known each other?" Clarke tried changing the topic.

Anya smiled at the blush. "Oh since she was little. She was a never stopping chatterbox can you believe?"

Clarke smiled as she imagined little Lexa running around on the grass, laughing.

"Until her parent's accident.." Anya sighed as she remembered.

Clarke's smile faded instantly.

"That turned her into this serious person who couldn't find joy in anything. She was a carefree soul Clarke, bouncing ball of joy and laughter but death of her parents changed her."

Clarke listened. Her hands clutched tightly together in her lap.

"Sorry I didn't mean to.." Anya was worried she was sharing too much. She hadn't planned on this but seeing the sincere look in Clarke's eyes, made her share her thoughts freely.

"No.. please go on.." Clarke urged.

"Her grandmother came to live with her. We were neighbors. We practically grew up like sisters. Slowly she started to forget about that horrible incident. But she was never the same."

As their lunch arrived, Anya observed Clarke. Everything about the girl screamed genuine to her. She smiled hoping maybe this is the person who deserved her Lexa.

After thinking for a few minutes, Clarke spoke.

"When I met Lexa, I destroyed her cherished memory of her grandma. And it's eating me alive. I wanted to ask you for a favor. Can you call the owner and ask her to hold onto the plant? I will visit her today in the evening."

Anya nodded. "Oh and Tiger Lillie are one of her favorites Clarke."

Clarke smiled brightly.

As Clarke walked back after her lunch, she saw Octavia leaning on her door frame and watching Raven talk to a blond girl. As Clarke made her aware of her presence, she thought Octavia looked quite curious.

"Hey Clarke.. umm who is that?" Octavia pointed towards the blond girl.

Clarke watched Raven laughing at something the girl said. "That's Liv I think... a medical student"

"mhmm" was Octavia's reply.

"Oh and that's the third time I am seeing Raven with her." Clarke mused.

Octavia turned and looked at Clarke's face. She saw Clarke's eyes getting bigger as she remembered something.

"Oh now I remember.. Raven talked to me about her.. She is the chick who is into dead bodies." Clarke laughed.

Octavia nodded as she turned back to see Raven laughing. She felt something, quite minuscule but tugging at her heart.
