The Date
The week felt like a year but it was finally Friday. Raven drove Clarke home from school with Octavia and then they helped Clarke decide what to wear. After trying on nearly everything in Clarkes cupboard on, they decided on light blue skinny jeans, a white tank top and a red and black plaid t-shirt. Octavia and Raven were glad that they were finally going on the date because it had been the only Clarke had talked about all week. When the blonde was finally ready, they made their way down stairs to the living room to watch TV and wait for Lexa.
"Lexa is usually so closed off to everyone." Octavia stated out of the blue midway through an episode of the bachelor.
"You are lucky that she even smiled at you to be honest, let alone ask you out." Raven added.
"She seems really sweet but I dont really know her yet." Clarke said honestly.

Lexa arrived at 7pm exactly with a bunch of beautiful flowers. She was wearing high top, ripped skinny jeans with a loose navy crop top, she looked stunning.
"Hi Clarke." She greeted handing over the flowers
"Hey Lexa," Clarke replied with a big smile, "Thank you for the flowers, they are beautiful." Clarke then went to put the flowers in a vase on the kitchen bench. When she came back, Octavia and Raven were obviously trying to intimidate Lexa but the brunette was just smiling at them.
"If you ever hurt Clarke, we will have to mutate your flawless figure," Raven threatened.
It warmed Clarkes heart to know that her friends cared so much about her. But Lexas response made her even happier. After Finn she had been reluctant to trust others and was nervous to start dating again. She was glad that it was someone as kind and nurturing that she was about to go out with.
"I do not intend on ever hurting her." Lexa said seriously.
"Good," Clarkes friends said in unison. They both smiled at Lexa, "Have fun!"
Clarke pushed through her friends to get to Lexa, "lets go before they do something stupid," she said as she took Lexas hand and led her away from the house. "Sorry about them," Clarke apologized.
"Dont worry about it. They seem like... very caring friends." Lexa noticed that they were still holding hands but made no move to loose the contact until they reached the car.
"So, where are we going?" Clarke inquired once they started the trip in the car.
"I was thinking we could go to this Italian place near the cinema and then go see what movies are on. Is that okay with you?"
"That sounds excellent."

They had just ordered their meals at the restaurant and everything was going really well. They were both immersed in easy conversation and getting to know each other. Everything felt so natural, like they had known each other for years. Clarke and Lexa felt as if they could just be themselves.
After they had finished Dinner they headed towards the cinema. They decided to watch 'Me Before You' due to the fact that they both loved Daenerys Targaryen. Lexa bought them some pop corn and then they went into the cinema. They sat up the back in the middle. For the first half of the film they just sat there watching intently and eating popcorn but then Clarke felt a wave of courage and reached over interlacing her fingers with Lexas. The brunette subconsciously began to soothingly rub her thumb over the back of Clarkes hand.
When the movie finished and the lights came back on Lexa looked over at Clarke to find that she was crying.
"Are you alright Clarke?" Lexa asked with concern.
Clarke turned so she was facing the brunette and smiled at the worry in her voice, "Yeah, Im fine. That was just really sad. How come you arent crying? That had to be one of the saddest movies I have ever seen!"
"Well if you think about it logically, the pain he would have to go through would be unbearable. I think he made the right decision," Lexa stated as if it were obvious.
She thought for a while before answering, "I guess when you think of it like that... But still."
The two girls made their way out of the cinema back to Lexas car and drove home in comfortable silence. When Lexa pulled up in Clarkes drive way they both got out of Lexas car and headed to the blondes front door.
"Good night Clarke," Lexa smiled.
"Good night Lexa," Clarke placed a lingering kiss on the brunettes cheek before opening the door and going inside her house.
Lexa was left on the Griffin households porch with the biggest smile plastered on her face. Her date with Clarke had gone exceptionally well. She felt as if she had really clicked with the blonde. She truly felt as if she could trust Clarke which was unusual for her. Especially after her relationship with Costia. Costia had left Lexa all of a sudden after a year of being together in the eleventh grade. She moved out of town to a different school without a word and had a social media blackout. Lexa had been heartbroken. But Lincoln had convinced her that she needed to get out and see other people in order to be happy. Lexa had a feeling that spending time with Clarke would do just that.
