The Party Part 2
Many beers and shots later, it was about 11pm and Clarke was drunkenly looking for her friends. After searching for a while she decided that they had left. She walked around the house aimlessly until she stumbled into someone and Clarke nearly fell over. She felt long, slender hands on her waist steadying her. She looked up and was met with piercing green eyes. It was Lexa.
"Im sorry." Clarke said in a way that made it clear she was very drunk.
"Dont be. Are you okay?" Lexa asked kindly with a slight smile.
"Hmmm..." Clarke hummed. Her drunk mind took over and she said the first thing on her mind. "You are really hot."
"You are not so bad yourself." Lexa said truthfully, because Clarke was stunning.
Lexa was caught off guard when Clarke poked her stomach and then stated randomly, "You have abs."
"Uh thanks." Lexa smiled at how adorable she was. She knew that she was only saying these things because she was drunk but it was still really cute. "How many drinks have you had?" Lexa asked clearly amused.
Clarke raised her eyebrows comically, "I have absolutely no idea. I dont usually drink more than one, its just I was going to talk to you and then you came out of the bathroom with Lincoln."
"Oh." Lexa realized that the situation would have looked a bit suspicious. "We are just friends. I just needed to give him a pep talk to ask your friend Octavia out."
"Good." Clarke said bluntly. Clarke just stood there for a few seconds surveying Lexa and taking in all her flawless features. "I need to be at home by 12." She slurred together.
"Would you like me to drive you home, Clarke?" Lexa offered sensing that Clarke was unfit to drive. She also did not want anyone taking advantage of Clarke in her drunk state.
Clarke wondered how Lexa knew her name but decided just to go with it and then asked, "Can you drive?"
"I only had one drink."
Clarke hummed in agreement and then added, "What if you are a crazy axe murderer and you take me to a dark ally and kill me?"
"I assure you I wont." Lexa said honestly, she then added jokingly, "I prefer using chain saws."
Clarke gave her a wide smile and followed her out of the party. She stumbled and nearly fell over so many times that Lexa decided that it was best that she help her. Clarke felt the brunettes arm wrap around her waist. Clarke muttered thanks under her breath. Lexa stopped at a black BMW i3 and opened the door for Clarke to get in. She then went around to the drivers side and got in herself.
"Where do you live, Clarke?"
Clarke told the other girl where she lived and then sat back in the comfy seat.
Lexa looked over at the blonde about half way through the drive and noticed that she had fallen asleep. The brunette had had a crush on Clarke since the tenth grade but never built up the courage to talk to her. Lincoln was going to ask Octavia out and Lexa was going to ask Clarke but Lexa had gotten too nervous. They went into the bathroom to discuss their game plan. When she went out, Clarke was in the line for the bathroom and Lexa chickened out. She had never been so anxious about talking to someone before. Lexa pulled up at the Griffin household at 11:57pm. The brunette got out of the car and went round to Clarkes side. She lent over and unbuckled the blondes seat belt. She picked her up bridal style and carried her towards the front door. Clarke subconsciously wrapped her arms around Lexas neck. Lexa then awkwardly knocked on the door due to having Clarke in her arms. After a few seconds a middle aged man that she suspected was Clarkes dad and a women who she assumed what her mother opened the door.
"Good evening Mr Griffin, Mrs Griifin. I am Lexa." She said trying not to let her nerves show. She didnt really think about what she was going to do once she reached the household.
"Its nice to meet you Lexa. Please, just call me Jake" Jake smiled warmly at her. Abby however just nodded curtly, clearly not as kind and excepting as Mr Griffin.
"Clarke said that she had to be home by 12 so I gave her a lift and she just... uh... fell asleep in the car." Lexa did not know if her parents knew that she was drinking so she did not want to blow her cover.
"Thank you for bring her home safely, Lexa." Jake said gratefully.
"You do not need to thank me, Mr Gr-" Jake gave her a stern yet kind look, "Jake."
Jake took his daughter from Lexa and they exchanged good nights. Lexa then carried on her way home.

After a day of trying to sleep off her hangover Clarke woke up feeling fresh. She wondered if Lexa would talk to her at school after she completely embarrassed herself in front of the brunette and what would happen. Clarke found herself infatuated by Lexas small smile and sweetness. She knew that she would be disappointed and the brunette would probably not even notice her again but she could help herself from thinking that it could be different. She heard a honk of a car from the driveway and made her way out of the house. Raven picked her and Octavia up for school on most days. She got in the back of 'The Bomb' and they began their trip to school.
"So, I saw you leaving the party with that girl you were drooling over. How did that go?" Octavia inquired, turning back to face Clarke and wiggling her eyebrows.
The blonde rolled her eyes at her friend, "she just drove me home after I drunkenly embarrased myself."
"Good job Griffin, you always know how to get into peoples pants." Raven said sarcastically.
"You guys are insufferable." Clarke complained. She knew that her friends knew that she did not have sex with Lexa, not after Finn. That man whore had cheated on Clarke with multiple people just because she was not ready to have sex. Thats actually how she met Raven. She had been one of the other girls that Finn had been lying to. But they were going to tease her endlessly anyway because they caught Clarke swooning.

Clarkes day had actually gone rather quickly. She was sitting in Physics, which was her last period of the day, and she couldnt bring herself to focus because she couldnt get a certain brunette out of her head. She sat near her in English, which was the only class together and the brunette had done nothing but smile at her when they made eye contact. Deep down, Clarke knew that this would be the case, but it still hurt. She did poke her stomach and say she had abs. The bell rang so she made her way out of the classroom towards her locker. When she approached her locker she saw that Lexa was waiting there with her back rested up against it which surprised Clarke greatly. When she saw Clarke she pushed off the locker and smiled kindly at her, "hey Clarke."
"Hi Lexa, I am really sorry about last night." She said blushing slightly.
"Dont worry about it." Lexa said with a slight smirk.
"what can I do for you?" She asked anxiously. She did not want to get her hopes up. She could just be asking for homework or something. But the blonde hoped that it was something else.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to maybe go to the movies on Friday?" Lexa asked the blonde nervously.
Clarke had never seen Lexa, who was always cool, calm and collected so apprehensive. Then the blonde processed what Lexa had just said. She asked her out. Clarke got so excited, Lexa had actually asked her on a date. Clarke was so deep in thought she forgot to answer.
When Clarke didnt immediately reply Lexa thought that maybe asking was a big mistake. Maybe Clarke didnt even like her. After all they didnt really know each other. Clarke had flirted with her at the party, but she was drunk. Maybe she had misread the situation. She tried to compensate, "I mean you dont have to-"
She was cut off by the blonde who said with a big smile, "I would love to. What time?"
"I can pick you up at 7?"
"That sounds good." Clarke confirmed.
"I have to go to tennis training. Ill talk to you later." With that Lexa turned around to leave. As she walked to the gym she had to try very hard to keep her emotions in check. She couldnt wait to tell Lincoln. She had had a crush on Clarke since 10th grade but never built up the courage to talk to her. But now, they were going to a movie together.
