Running for president

Clarke threw Lexa’s shirt towards her while she was putting on her underwear again.
”I can’t find my bra…” Clarke looked around and Lexa did the same.
”There” Lexa went close to the bed and grabbed it, it had gotten a bit under the bed.
”Someone could’ve walked in” Clarke looked towards the door.
”Just admit it made it more intense” Lexa smiled at her.
”That was…intense” Clarke looked at her as they both where dressed now.
”Yeah” Lexa wrapped Clarke in her arms and kissed her. ”Worth the wait I guess”
”So..what now?” Clarke tightened her grip around the brunette, scared it would be a while until she saw her again.
”We are still in the same situation, obviously where both tense…” Lexa chuckled. ”But it doesn’t change anything”
”So you still want your space?” Clarke actually got offended.
”I’m just thinking whats best for us?”
”So you’re completely fine with us just moving on from this?” Clarke looked at her. ”You can’t even stand Bellamy giving me a compliment”
”I can’t stand a lot of men” Lexa wasn’t taking this as serious as her and it bothered Clarke.
”You’re really being a dick right now, let me tell you that” Clarke took a step back, suddenly wasn’t in the mood anymore.
”It’s not like that Clarke…do you have a solution for this? Please I am listening?” Lexa questioned her. ”Or maybe I am not as gullible as you…”
”We can figure something out together?”
”I like you too Clarke, I do but look at us - this is the first time we do it, in Finn freaking Collins house? Hiding from our friends and the rest off the school”
”I talked to Raven today, maybe her and Anya can work things out…” Clarke tried.
”Clarke” Lexa stepped closer again.
”I know okay, I fucking know that we can’t solve this” Clarke said frustrated.
”It has been fun…we don’t know what will happen in the future but one off us will end up hurt if we continue this”
”I already feel hurt” Clarke took a deep breath and shook her head. ”But you’re right…we can’t keep doing this”
”It was fun while it lasted” Lexa tried to cheer her up and she understood the brunette, she did that the first time she tried to explain this as well. Clarke just didn’t want to believe it but she knew that this would never last.
”I feel like we’re not giving it a try” Clarke couldn’t help herself.
”I think we did..until we realized the situation aren’t changing. We have been sneaking around for weeks”
”Then I think it’s best we don’t talk anymore…I can’t right now at least…” Clarke sighed. ”And we can focus on the campaign without any dirty games”
”I agree” Lexa nodded and knock on the door made the girls look at it with freaked eyes before it opened.
”Clarke?” It was Bellamy. ”Lexa?” He was confused.
”Clarke wanted to talk about the campaign” Lexa told him. ”Boring stuff”
”Oh, we’re all waiting for you. We need our best player for beer pong” He smiled at her.
”Yeah…We’re done here anyway” Clarke looked at Lexa, knowing that meant more than what Bellamy believed.
”Good luck” Told them before they all left the guest room, Clarke tried to act normal but her heart was getting heaver with every step. She was not going to cry, she didn’t want Lexa to have that control over her. If the brunette could move on easily so would she.
”LET*S PLAY” She yelled to her friends who cheered her.
”She’s on my team guys” Bellamy said proudly.
”Octavia” Raven yelled at her, she was already a bit tipsy.
”Let’s crush them” Octavia reached for a ping pong ball. ”This one is for you big brother” She threw it and landed perfectly in one of the cups.
”I need it more” Clarke took it before he had a chance and chugged it in no time.
”DAMN GIRL” Raven laughed.
”Okay” Bellamy said impressed and gave her an high-five. ”You’re turn then”
”Look at this” She threw the ball and it hit one cup before landing in another, smooth.
”Yeeeeah” The crowd around them cheered.

Clarke and Bellamy won, she didn’t know why she was so skilled at the game but it was a nice party trick. No one expected it from her, well her friends knew but it always fun to win over random people and see their surprised faces as she aced every ball.

Even if they won Clarke still drank a lot of beer during the game, she was feeling more than tipsy but she wasn’t ready to stop now. She was upset about her argument with Lexa, sad that she wanted this to be over.

”I need another drink” Clarke made her way to the kitchen, she wanted something stronger so she grabbed a bottle of vodka and poured it in a new cup, she added some soda and finished the drink on the spot.
”Easy girl” Bellamy looked at her.
”Yeah yeah…” Clarke made herself a new drink.
”Are you okay?” He asked.
”Yeah…” Clarke slurred. ”Long day”
”Anything I can do?”
”You knight in armor” Lexa passed them and Clarke glared at her, the brunette didn’t stay to chat she just wanted to be annoying.
”What’s that all about?” Bellamy chuckled and looked at Lexa as she left the room.
”I don’t know and I don’t care” Clarke said but she did care.
”Alright” Bellamy put an arm around her shoulder. ”Let’s go see what the others are up too” They made their way out the pool area where their friends where just hanging out.

”Has anyone seen Clarke?” Raven wondered after a while.
”She went to the bathroom I think?” Octavia looked around.
”It’s been a while, she was pretty drunk” Raven stood up and walked back into the house. She looked around in the crowded rooms but she was no where to be found. After some searching in the guest rooms and bathrooms she finally found her upstairs in a more hidden bathroom.
”Hey girl” Raven sat down next the blonde girl who was sitting on the floor.
”Hey” Clarke looked at her. ”I needed a little break”
”You’re pretty drunk girl” Raven helped her get to her feet. ”Time to get you home”
”Okay” Clarke agreed but her legs wasn’t cooperating with her.
”Damn” Raven put an arm around her waist and Clarke held and arm over her friends shoulder.
”I’m drunk” Clarke chuckled.
”Yes you are” Raven couldn’t help but laugh herself.
”You’re drunk” Clarke laughed some more as they walked out of the bathroom.
”You’re heavy” Raven tried her best to help Clarke walk but it wasn’t the easiest task, it took a while and some fumbling before they got outside.
”Don’t you it’s a nice evening, feel the fresh air” Clarke took a deep breath. ”Wow”
”Amazing yes…wait Clarke” Raven had to steady herself as they almost fell over.
”Need a hand?” Lexa approached them and Raven looked at her suspicious.
”I don’t know if I trust you”
”Come here” Lexa put Clarke’s other arm around her shoulder.
”Fine” Raven agreed as it was suddenly much easier to walk Clarke.
”We can take my car, I’m not drunk” Lexa suggested.
”Okay” Raven nodded, they reached the car and even if Clarke was laughing a lot it was pretty easy to get her into the backseat.

”She need to sober up” Raven told Lexa from the front seat. ”Her mom can’t see her like this”
”Open that” Lexa pointed at a black box between their seats.
”Wow you actually have cold water in your car?” Raven was surprised as she grabbed a bottle.
”Can’t she stay at your place?” Lexa didn’t care to comment on what the Latina just said.
”My mom will tell Abby, Clarke’s mom. I just don’t want her to get into any trouble”
”It will take a while for her to sober up…” Lexa looked back at the blonde who was lying down over all three seats.
”Maybe you can drop us at some fast food place or something?” Raven asked. ”You don’t have to stay with us”
”Fuck…She can stay at my place” Lexa sighed.
”Really?” Raven looked at her as Lexa started the car.
”I can’t let you guys sit there for hours…”
”What about the party?”
”I don’t care about the party”
”Thank you…” Raven was impressed by her kindness, she had never seen this side of Lexa before. ”I don’t know how Clarke will feel about it tomorrow but..”
”She’ll be fine” Lexa interrupted her. ”I mean…” She took a deep breath. ”Rather my place than her getting busted right?”
”Yeah I guess”

Raven helped Lexa get Clarke into her bed, she explained that she didn’t want Anya to find her and that it was better if she stayed there. The blonde tried to slur some questions about what hey where doing, at some point she thought they where going to a different party.
”Can you take it from here?” Raven looked at Clarke laying on the bed. ”She might undress…she has a habit of doing that when she’s drunk”
”I think I can handle it” Lexa actually chuckled.
”Well, this was really nice off you” Raven thanked her.
”How will you get home?”
”Uber” Raven showed her phone, it was almost here.
”Good”
”I don’t know why she got this drunk…I just found her in the bathroom and I..”
”You’re a good friend Raven” Lexa looked at her. ”You did the right thing getting her out of there”
”Yeah..okay. You can tell her to call me tomorrow?”
”I will” Lexa nodded before she closed the door after Raven.
”Your bed is comfy” Clarke chuckled.
”I know” Lexa changed into a big t-shirt before crawling into the bed as well. ”Do you need anything?”
”Are you mad at me?” Clarke whispered.
”No” Lexa shrugged.
”I don’t want space”
”I’m here now” Lexa hushed her down.
”Can you hold me?” Clarke asked and it went quiet for a while before Lexa decided to move closer, she put and arm around her and Clarke adjusted her body to Lexa’s. ”I wondered what it would feel like to fall asleep in your arms”
”And how is it?”
”I’m still awake silly” Clarke smiled, she was sobering up a little bit but the room still felt like it was spinning a little. She knew her headache tomorrow would be terrible and she crossed her fingers she wouldn’t say anything she would regret in the morning.
”Did you drink this much because of me?” Lexa wondered.
”I don’t know…maybe. I wanted to forget…” Clarke sighed loud. ”You probably think I’m pathetic”
”No..I just didn’t want this happen” Lexa searched for Clarke’s hand and lingered their fingers together and started caressing Clarke’s hand with her thumb back and forth. ”In this moment right here it feels like the most stupid thing, it doesn’t make sense…I don’t want us to end either” Lexa whispered but with Clarke’s heavy breathing she realized the blonde had fallen asleep. So she placed a soft kiss on her shoulder and held her a little tighter before closing her eyes, it didn’t take long until she fell asleep as feel.
