Chapter 2
Lexa was feeling confused slightly. I mean, that girl just winked at her. She did, didn't she? Anyway, she tried to focus on the now half full glass of whiskey in front of her but she couldn't help but look up every now and then and watch the blonde girl as she served the other patrons. Between a sip and another look, she noticed that the girl was now standing in front of her again, so when she looked up from her glass, her eyes met blue ones once more.
"How come I've never seen you before?" She asked as she watched the girl wipe a couple of tumblers.
"Why? Do you happen to know all bartenders in the world?"
Clever, Lexa thought. She liked clever. She also liked that she wasn't being treated like some sort of untouchable celebrity.
"No, but I go to enough of this sort of event to recognise faces. I know the staff is pretty much the same every time and I don't remember seeing your face before." The brunette explained.
"Well, you know… I just have one of those faces. Quite forgettable really." The blonde girl proceeded to pour a glass of wine for the woman who was sat by Lexa's left side and picked up a few more glasses that were left empty on the bar counter. She never seemed to close the smile that was on her face.
"I beg to differ." Lexa said, sipping from her glass and still with a smile on her face.
She noticed the girl stopping her motion as she was reaching for a fresh bottle of whiskey on the top shelf. The blonde turned around and faced Lexa again.
"Are you flirting with me, hot stuff?" She asked, taking Lexa by surprise.
She was pro at this though, she knew the banter. If this girl is up for games, she is more than ready for it. Lexa shifted on her stool once more and fidgeted with her glass. Wish a small sigh, she locked gazes with the blonde girl and grinned.
"What if I am?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.
The blonde laughed. Loud. What the fuck? Lexa was good at this game and, never before a girl had laughed at her flirtation. No one has acted like that before. Who was this girl? And why does she make Lexa feel so inadequate? Everything seemed to be a blur right now but she decided to speak up?
"What is so funny?" She asked, frowning.
"Listen up, hot stuff. You don't know who I am, but I do know who you are. I've seen you around, I know your game."
Lexa widened her eyes and lowered her now empty glass.
"So maybe you should tell me who you are so we are both on the same level." Lexa offered.
"I'm not an arm candy, alright? So if you think you'll be able to just add me to your collection of pretty one night stands, you're wrong." She said still keeping the smile. "Refil?"
"Yes, please." Lexa replied. Well, this is proving to be a challenge. This girl was different. She needed to be something about it. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you." She uttered.
The blonde girl laughed again. Pouring another dose of scotch on Lexas glass, she locked her gazes again.
"No problem." She said. And then she did something that took Lexa by surprise. Like, not just by surprised, but it kind of made the floor below her disappear? You know? When someone does something that leaves you completely starstruck. That's what happened. She leaned over the bar counter and put her lips on Lexas. It was not a massive kiss. It was more like a peck. A slow and soft peck. Still, Lexa couldn't help but close her eyes as she felt the blonde's lips on her's.
When she pulled back, she stopped only a couple of inches away. Lexa could feel her breathing and smell her perfume. She smelled good. Incredibly good. The brunette opened her mouth to try and speak but the girl was quicker.
"And besides, I didn't say anything about me adding you to MY collection of pretty one night stands."
And that's when Lexa's jaw dropped. She knew how to speak once but right now she didn't even remember what words were. Or how to use them. She was just there, sat on the bar stool, with her eyes locked with the blonde's and her mouth opened in complete awe. Then the girl proceeded to carry on baffling Lexa. As she stepped back, the blonde girl stretched her arm and with the tip of her finger, she touched Lexa's chin, closing her opened mouth. What the actual fuck? She was laughing again but this time, not too loud. It was more like a kind laugh, a laugh that you secretly share with someone you care about. So she stepped closer again and crossed her arms, leaning on the counter but keeping a safe distance. She reached for Lexa's glass and took a sip of the amber liquid, looking at the brunette again.
"It's Clarke, by the way. Clarke Griffin. And I finish at eleven."
