Igniting
Lexa's POV
When Clarke got off my motorcycle, she was shaking. I felt bad, honestly, but it was worth it to have her hands wrapped around me. Selfish, I know, but her touch is like a fire igniting inside of me. I try my best to mask my nervousness around her, I can understand why Anya says love is weakness. But I don't love her do I?
My daydreaming was interrupted by Clarke introducing me to her mom.
"Nice to meet you Ms. Griffin" I said with a smile.
"Just call me Abby" she says with a grin. "Would you like to stay for dinner? Well, it's just Chinese, I'm going on a date tonight." She said. "I can order it before I leave."
"That would be great mom, thank you." Clarke said with a genuine smile. "Who's the lucky man?"
I saw Clarke's face turn bright red. "M-Mr. Kane? Oh my god this can't be real."
"Is there a problem?"
"Mom! That's my math teacher!" She said storming off to her room and slamming the door.
I knocked on her door. "It's Lexa, can I come in?" I say biting my lip. "Yeah, sure" She says, and I open the door and sit next to her on the bed. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just overwhelmed, I overreacted, I should go apologize"
"Calm down, It's okay." I said putting a hand on her thigh and I felt her tense up. My heart fluttered, and I just wanted to kiss her, but I knew I couldn't.
She looked at me with soft eyes. "Thanks, I should still apologize, I'll be right back."
I took this chance to admire her bedroom, she had mint green walls with a few pictures of her and her dad on it, she didn't have much more than a TV stand, a dresser, and her desk with a sketchbook and drawings scattered on it.
Clarke was in the doorway, noticing me eyeing the boxes. "Sorry about the clutter, I haven't unpacked much because I procrastinate a lot."
"No worries, I see you have a couple books." I say smiling and pointing at them.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, they're quite childish, but I love them" I say nervously.
The books belong to the series The Star Chapter. (i made these up)
"They're all about fairytails." She explained. She was so damn cute. "It's childish I know"
"Who cares?" I cut her off. "Who says that once we get older we're not allowed to like 'little kid' things anymore?"
"I feel you, I felt like such a child going to see The Lion King last week surrounded by a bunch of toddlers."
I'm imagining Clarke in the middle of a theater with kids which makes me smile.
"Hey! Stop laughing at me" she said, playfully slapping my arm.
"No. Well, kind of. It's quite adorable actually" I said accidentally. Her cheeks turned 10 shades darker. What is she doing to me?
Right now I was fighting the urge to press my lips to hers, but I knew I couldn't.
"Lexa!" Clarke slaps my arm.
"Huh?" I ask confused
"I said, do you want to do our homework? We can watch a movie later if you want." she smiles.
"Yeah. That would be nice." I smile. Nobody can make me smile as much as Clarke does. I feel like I've known her for years.
We didn't have much homework considering it's only the second day of school.
"So what movie do you want to watch?" She says grabbing the remote.
"Do you want to watch Moana?" I ask laying down next to her.
"Do you want to stay over? I mean it's Friday, and It's late." she asked.
"Oh no, I don't want to be rude" I politely declined. I wanted to be honest and say I would love to stay over.
"Come on Lexa! I love spending time with you" before realizing she said "love", I was smiling from ear to ear and she was embarrassed.
"Fine, only because you're adorable when you're embarrassed." I don't even care that she knows. Clarke is adorable, and I'm going to let her know that.
It was only 6:00, so it was still light out, so Clarke turned off her lights and closed her blinds, making it pitch black in her room.
"Ouch!" I yelped as she jumped on top of me, my heart jumping out of my chest.
"Sorry!" she said climbing off me.
"It's fine" I smile.
Clarke started laughing and we just broke into a laughing fit, there was no reason for us to be laughing, but for some reason we were. We started to calm down but since I'm clumsy, I fell of the bed, so that causes Clarke to start wheezing . I climbed back onto the bed, taking deep breaths and then our eyes met and we burst into more laughter.
Our laughter finally died down and we started watching Moana, halfway through the movie Clarke and I look at each other and I take a deep breath and I lean into kiss her to only be interrupted by her mom. Abby walked in with the food, an placed it on Clarke's desk.
"Bye girls, I won't be back for a bit, don't burn the place."
"Have fun mom" I smile.
We got through the rest of the movie before Clarke was passed out with her head on my shoulder. I was tense, but don't get me wrong, I liked this feeling of Clarke next to me, and I wanted it to last forever. She made me feel so nervous but safe at the same time. I'm falling in love with this girl.
