Go Out With Me?
Right as Anya jumped up to walk over to the window to inspect outside the house gunshots rang out from the side of the house causing all four women to quickly run out the door, not caring about the dangers that may await them.
“Lexa! Lincoln! Bellamy! Where the hell are you?!”
After hearing the gunshots being fired Anya, Raven, Octavia, and Clarke had run straight out of the house and in the direction the three detectives had gone in. After a quick check to see no one standing on the side of the house they ventured out into the thicket of trees currently surrounding them.
“Where the hell did they go?” Octavia shined the flashing she was currently holding ahead of them in search of their friends.
“Lexa, if you don’t answer me, dammit, I’m going to leave your ass out here,” Anya yelled out through the trees.
Clarke stood next to Raven holding her arm, trying not to trip in the darkness, as she watched Octavia lead them further into the woods. It had already been a few minutes after they heard the gunshots and they hadn’t heard a single peep from their friends. Clarke could feel her hands get clammy as she thought about what could have possibly happened to the detectives. Had they been shot? Attacked?
Before Clarke could venture any further into her dark thoughts a voice a slight ways ahead of them called out,“We’re over here, Anya!”
Clarke could feel her heart jump in her throat at the sound of Lexa’s voice ringing in her ears. All four women picked up their pace before breaking through the trees and coming to a stop in small clearing void of any trees. As Octavia’s flashlight lit the area around them they could see Lexa, Bellamy, and Lincoln standing over the carcass of a deer. Lexa looked over to Clarke before pointing down at the deer.
“This is probably what was behind you, Clarke.”
Clarke stared at the deer in disbelief before looking up again,“A deer? Wouldn’t I have heard it walking behind me? It just doesn’t seem right.”
“He was pretty quiet. We didn’t see him until he came running in front of us. That’s when we fired the guns,” Lincoln said as he walked over to Octavia.
Octavia gave Lincoln a smirk as he draped his arm over her shoulders,“So in other words the three big bad detectives got scared by a little deer? I would have paid good money to see that one.
Everyone around Clarke laughed as Lincoln feigned a hurt expression at Octavia’s words. After deciding there wasn’t anything they could do for the deer they started their way back towards the house. While walking, Clarke couldn’t help but think about the breath that ghosted across her neck earlier that night and subconsciously placed her hand on the back of her neck.
“I swear it felt almost like someone breathing on me and not a deer. Surely I could tell the difference between the two, right?”
Clarke was brought out of her thoughts as Lexa came to walk next to her and place a hand on her arm,“You okay? You don’t seem convinced it was the deer that was behind you.”
“I don’t know. It just didn’t feel like a deer. It felt like someone was behind me,” Clarke glanced over at Lexa before shaking her head,“I’m probably just over exaggerating though.”
Lexa gave her a comforting smile,“It’s okay. I probably would think the same thing if it happened to me. Being a detective can make you a little paranoid with some things.”
Clarke let a ‘thank you’ whisper off her lips as they finally cleared the trees and came to stand on the sand next to the house. After making sure everyone was accounted for the group of friends made their way up to the porch of the house and say down around the outdoor table.
“Well that was a fun little adventure,” Bellamy sighed as he placed his gun on the table after switching on the safety.
“Adventure? You guys almost gave us all heart attacks when we heard those gunshots,” Raven growled as she slapped Bellamy on the back of his head.
“Hey, not my fault princess over there got scared by a little deer,” Bellamy teased as he looked over to Clarke.
“Says the guy who got scared by the same deer and shot at it with a gun,” Everyone laughed at Raven’s words as Bellamy placed his head in his hands in defeat.
“I don’t know about you all but after all this excitement I could sure go for some s’mores! Anyone up for a little bonfire?” Anya said as she stood up from her chair.
“I second that. I could use something sweet before bed,” Octavia said as she stood to follow Anya into the house.
Lincoln took that moment to stand up and drag a sulking Bellamy up with him,“Sounds good to me. Bell and I will get a fire going. Fire wood still stacked next to the cabinets in the garage, Clarke.”
“Yeah, some should still be there unless my mom cleaned it out the last time she was here.” Lincoln nodded before pushing Bellamy into the house and towards the garage entrance.
Clarke looked back towards Raven as the girl cleared her throat,“I’m, uh, going to go help Anya and O get everything ready for the s’mores.”
Clarke watched as her friend all but ran from the table and into the house, leaving only her and Lexa sitting side by side. Suddenly feeling shy, Clarke glanced down at her hands as she fumbled with the hem of her shirt.
“Lexa…thank you for what you did.”
“What do you mean?” Clarke glanced up at Lexa to see the her staring at her with furrowed eyebrows.
“For going to check on things out there,” Clarke let her hand gesture to the trees,“You went out knowing that it could have been something dangerous all because of me. I just wanted to thank you for that.”
Lexa raised her hand to brush a lock of golden hair that had fell in front of her eyes before giving her a smile.
“Anything for you, Clarke,” Lexa whispered.
Clarke wasn’t sure she had heard the brunette right but before she could question her Lincoln and Bellamy came walking out the house laughing, arms full of chopped fire wood. Anya, Raven, and Octavia came followed quickly after them carrying plates of marshmallows, chocolate, and gram crackers along with a few metal roasting sticks.
“You lovebirds coming or are you going to sit there and start kissing?” Anya teased.
Both Lexa and Clarke blushed at the women’s bold words and quickly stood up from their chairs to follow the group out onto the sand over to where Bellamy and Lincoln were setting up the firewood. After the fire was started and everyone was handed a roasting stick they all sat down around the warm blaze, the smell of melting marshmallows floating in the air around them.
A dozen marshmallows later found the group all huddled around the dying embers of the fire talking about plans for the next coming day. Clarke took that time to look around at her circle of friends, wanting to burn this image in her head to paint for later. As she glanced around she caught a pair of emerald green eyes staring at her. Clarke gave Lexa a warm smile before shifting just a little closer to the woman sitting next to her.
“You know it’s not polite to stare,” Clarke laughed, using Lexa’s own words against her.
“I wasn’t staring. I just simply happened to be glancing your way when you looked at me.”
Anya chose that time to butt her nose into their conversation,“Yeah, right. You’ve been staring at her for at least the last ten minutes or so.”
Clarke watched a deep blush settle over Lexa’s cheeks before she gave a swift punch to her sister’s arm.
“Shut up, Anya. Like you haven’t been staring at Raven the entire time either?”
Both Clarke and Lexa laughed as Anya’s mouth gaped like a fish out of water,“I have not!”
“Yes, you have,” Raven said as she came to sit between Lexa and Anya,“I’ve caught you staring at me more than five times since this morning. Admit it. You like me.”
Clarke and Lexa busted out laughing as Anya sported a deep blush and a pouting expression before looking away from Raven.
“Whatever. Doesn’t mean I like you. Anyways, I’m going to bed. See you all in the morning.”
The three women watched as Anya all but ran towards the house and through the back door. A few more minutes of talking passed before everyone finally decided to follow in Anya’s footsteps and call it a night. After finally making it into their room Clarke shut the door and looked sheepishly up at Lexa.
“I guess I’ll take the left side of the bed if that’s okay with you.”
Clarke watched as Lexa looked into her eyes and gave her a sharp nod. Clarke stared ahead of her at the beautiful brunette in front of her. The way the light of the moon shone through the window gave Lexa a white shimmering halo around her slightly damp locks and before she knew what she was doing Clarke had walked to stand directly in front of her.
Green eyes clashed with blue as they gazed at each other and before either could mumble a word their lips crashed together once more. Clarke could feel Lexa firmly grip her waist before tugging her closer to press flush against her body. Clarke let a gasp escape through their kiss as her hands found themselves tangled in the detectives curly hair. As Lexa broke their kiss to leave small pecks along her jawline Clarke gently started urging the woman to walk backwards. As the back of Lexa’s knees came to bump against the edge of the bed Clarke gently pushed her away to sit on the sheet covered mattress.
The way Lexa looked up at Clarke, slightly out of breath, made her heart do flips inside her chest. Pushing aside the feeling she quickly straddled Lexa’s thighs before pressing her lips against Lexa’s. As their kisses grew more heated by the second Clarke could feel Lexa’s hands slightly push up her tank top to slide her hands along the small of her back. Not taking a second to hesitate Clarke reached down to grab the hem of her shirt before lifting it and pulling it over her head to leave her in a white lace bra. Lexa took that initiative to place open mouthed kisses along the top of her breasts as she glided her hands up her back.
Clarke let her head fall back and opened her mouth to let a moan escape her throat as Lexa gently bit down on the skin above her breast. As Lexa’s hand slid further up her back Clarke could feel her hands come into contact with the clasps of her bra before looking up to her in question.
“It’s okay. Do it.”
Before Lexa had the chance to unclasp the white lacy material the door to their room flew open and both women looked over to see a stunned Anya standing in the doorway. Clarke let out a horrified squeak before quickly bouncing off of Lexa’s lap to grab her shirt and pulling it back on.
Anya leaned against the door frame with a large smirk as she looked over them,“Well I didn’t expect that to happen so soon. Sorry for barging in.”
“What do you want, Anya?” Lexa let out an annoyed huff at her older sister.
“I came to see if there were any extra blankets anywhere in this house. I refuse to share with Raven. She hogs all the covers.”
Lexa gave Anya her own smirk,“And just how would you know that she hogs the covers?”
“Uh…she told me…” Anya suddenly found her nails very interesting,“So are there anymore blankets or what?”
Clarke let out a little giggle before walking into the bathroom towards the closet and pulling a white comforter off one of the shelves. After walking back into the room and handing it to Anya Clarke watched as the blushing woman quickly scurried back down the hallway towards her room before shutting the door. She turned back around to see Lexa still sitting on the edge of the bed where she had left her and gave her an apologetic smile. Clarke padded across the hard wood floor to once again straddle the detective and wrap her arms around her neck.
“Well, that killed the mood.” Clarke laughed as Lexa looked at her with seriousness in her eyes,“What’s wrong?”
“Go out with me, Clarke.” Clarke felt her eyes widen at her words.
“You mean like on a date or actually dating you?”
“Just one date first. And maybe after we can talk about the whole dating each other thing.” Clarke gently fumbled with a lock of Lexa’s hair as she pursed her lips and contemplated her words.
“Okay. I’ll go on a date with you.”
Lexa smiled widely before leaning up and pressing a soft kiss to Clarke’s lips in thanks. Clarke let out a happy giggle before sliding off Lexa’s lap and walking over to her side of the bed to slip under the covers. As Lexa turned to look at her, Clarke patted the spot next to her before holding the covers up for her to slide in. Once they were both snuggled up under the white sheets and comforter Clarke scooted closer to Lexa and grabbed her hand and interlaced their fingers.
Lexa gave her a soft smile before their eyes fluttered closed and allowed sleep to take hold of them.
