Chapter 8
So Lexa and Clarke drive to this night club. Clarke is giving her directions because Lexa has never heard of this club but she was assured that it’s “totally the bomb”. Clarke tells her to park the car a block or two away from the club because the parking lots there are always full. Lexa is really kind of nervous, she never went to an actual club but Clarke is dragging her along by her hand and she already greets one of the bouncers as they go in. People are already looking at Lexa because she seems a little overdressed for this but Clarke tells her not to be worried.
“People stare no matter what you wear.” she says.
Once they are inside of the club a scenery of lots of young people with very few clothes on who are dancing to the loud music extends in front of Lexa. She watches all these people going crazy and rubbing against each other on the dance floor. Clarke is off for a few minutes greeting some people that she knows while Lexa is just standing in the corner trying not to stand in the way of anybody. As Clarke comes back she carries four shot glasses of liquor in it.
“Well, Ms. Woodson apparently you can drink a lot so here’s your chance to prove it.” Says Clarke as she downs her first two shots.
Lexa takes hers and downs it as well but makes a face after it “Oh my god what is that?” she asks a little disgusted.
“It’s cinnamon tequila, my favourite drink!” Clarke explains and offers Lexa the second one.
She takes a deep breath and finishes the second one as well. The drinks she is used to do not have such an intense artificial flavour. Clarke takes her hand and guides her through the crowd to the bar where a bunch of people are just screaming at each other because the music is so loud you can barely understand your own words. Everybody cheers as they see Clarke and hug her.
“This is my friend Lexa!” Clarke introduces her to her friends “It is her first night at a club, so we got to show her how we party.”
Everybody is laughing and some of them pat her on the back while they offer her more drinks. It would be impolite of her to refuse those, so she drinks them all forcing herself not to shake every time the liquor runs down her throat. Lexa starts to feel a little tipsy and as they play another song Clarke just turns to Lexa and says “Oh my god we totally have to dance now I love this song.”
So they just make their way into the middle of the dancing crowd and Clarke starts to dance in a very interesting way. She holds her arms above her head and lets her hips and body move in the rhythm of the music. Lexa is watching this for a while not knowing what to do, as Clarke notices it she comes to Lexa’s ear and shouts “Come on you have to dance!” but Lexa just shrugs wanting to tell her that she doesn’t know how. Clarke rolls her eyes a little, takes Lexa’s hands and places them on her hips while she wraps her arms around her neck getting closer to her. The brunette’s heart stops for a few seconds not knowing what to do. It seems a little inappropriate for her to touch Clarke in these ways but Clarke is not minding it so Lexa tries to move her body in the same speed and rhythm as she can feel Clarke’s hips moving. The blonde woman is smiling and nods which means that apparently she is doing it the right way. Lexa needs a few songs to get into it but once all the shots she took kick in, she bans every other thought out of her mind.
Clarke’s dancing becomes a little dirty after they go to the bar and drink some more shots. The second time they go on the dance floor Clarke is rubbing herself on Lexa and even turns around to grind her ass against Lexa’s crotch. As that happens Lexa just freezes and turns Clarke around to dance normally with her again. She would have never expected Clarke to have such a side on her.
Lexa looks at her watch shouting “Oh my god it is already 4am??”
While Clarke is saying “Oh damn, that means the club is already closing in some minutes but we just got here!”
That makes Lexa laugh. The DJ stops the music so everybody would leave the club slowly. The air is cold as they step outside and Lexa sees that Clarke is having goosebumps
“Do you want my jacket? I don’t want you to get sick.” Lexa asks.
“Yes I could actually use a jacket, I didn’t know it would get this cold already at night.” She says and puts her jacket on which is a little too big for her.
“Is it okay for you if you walked me home? I don’t live far from here and it’s only a 5-minute walk.” Clarke asks.
“Of course.” Lexa says and for the first time in her life she has to actually put an effort into walking straight at this point.
As they walk next to each other Lexa says “This was a quite interesting experience.”
“Oh I had so much fun and who knew you could party like a beast.” Clarke laughs. Lexa laughs as well and intertwines her fingers into Clarkes, who doesn’t pull them away.
A few minutes later they arrive at a pretty old looking apartment block and Lexa says “So this is where you really live huh?”
“Yep. For over a year now” Clarke answers proudly.
“I just want to say again, that I had a very nice evening with you Clarke.” Lexa says with a smile
“Yes, me too. It was really amazing. Oh, here, before I forget to give you your jacket back.” she answers and takes the blue jacket off and hands it to Lexa.
“Thanks” the brunette replies. They stand pretty close to each other and none of them makes an attempt to leave. “Well, then good night” Lexa wishes Clarke but still doesn’t move.
“I wish you a good night as well.” Clarke whispers and then it happens.
Lexa notices that Clarke’s face comes closer and closer but Lexa doesn’t back away. After a few more seconds Clarke presses her lips gently against Lexa’s who is returning the kiss with so much passion. She places both of her hands on Clarke’s cheeks and deepens the kiss. Both of them open their mouths a little and Lexa’s lungs fill with the taste of Clarke’s lips and she doesn’t want anything else in this world but to kiss this woman. After a few breathless moments they stop to kiss and just look at each other not believing what just happened.
Clarke is just smiling at her saying “I never got such a goodnight kiss, but lets save the rest for next time.” And she pulls Lexa close to her again and plants a kiss on her cheek before she disappears inside of the building. Lexa is still standing at the exact same spot where Clarke left her touching her cheek very gently. This was amazing. Her heart is still racing and she can still taste Clarke on her lips.
