Maybe English Isn't That Bad
A few days had passed since their first date and they had been talking and texting each other constantly. The only class they had together was English but they still found time to spend with each other almost everyday. They sat next to each other in English trying to focus on what Mr Kane was saying but both found the other girl way more interesting.
"Your assignments will be due in 3 weeks." Mr Kane told his students after finishing his explanation which was in Clarkes opinion, painstakingly long and boring. "I will be picking your partners for the task." Carke sighed, she always got the worst people to work with. He started listing of the students names and Clarke just sat, trying not to get her hopes up. When Mr Kane called out, "Lexa and Clarke," she thought to herself, maybe English isn't that bad.
After School that day the girls arranged to go to the Griffin household to work on their English assignment. Clarke was a bit nervous because although she did feel comfortable with the brunette, it was the first time that she would come to her house. Clarke was worried that Lexa wouldnt like her house as it would definitely not be as fancy and expensive as the Woods estate. Clarke had driven past a few times and she wasnt even sure if it could be described as a house, it was magnificent. It was a large white mansion with the fanciest pool Clarke had ever seen that had tropical trees and a water fountain surrounding it. The 'house' looked like something you would find in an episode of Grand designs. Even though she knew it was completely and utterly stupid because Lexa was the polar opposite to a snobby, rich bitch, Clarke always found something to worry about.
Lexa sensed that Clarke was anxious about something so she reached over, covering Clarkes hand in her own, rubbing soothing circles. "Are you okay Clarke?" She asked still mostly focused on the road.
"Im fine," Clarke lied terribly.
"We dont have to talk about whatever troubles you if you dont want to, but just know that if you ever need someone to talk to I will always listen." Lexa informed the blonde sincerely.
Clarke wondered why she was even worried in the first place. It was Lexa after all.
They were about an hour and a half into research for their assignment and Clarke started to get bored. She looked over at the brunette who was intently looking over her textbook and taking down notes. Her hair was tied back in a messy bun and she looked beyond beautiful. She felt a wave of courage so she moved over to where Lexa was sitting on her couch, cross legged with her back on the arm rest. Clarke knelt in front of Lexa on the couch so their legs were only just brushing against each other. The blonde took the textbook out of Lexas lap and placed it on the ground.
At first, the brunette was confused at the other girls actions. But then Clarke moved forward, and put one leg on either side of Lexas hips and the brunettes heart rate picked up rapidly. Clarke looked deep in the brunettes eyes, seeking permission. Lexa granted it by cupping the back of the pulling the blonde down gently into a slow and tender kiss.
Clarke was lost in the softness of the brunettes lips until she needed to get some air into her lungs. She pulled back slightly, resting their foreheads together in a way where their noses just brushed together. Clarke connected their lips together again and it started off much like their first one. Lexa returned the pressure of their lips and placed her hands on the blondes hips pulling her slightly closer. Then, Clarke was deepening it, tilting her head slightly to the side and cupping the brunettes sharp jaw as if she were going to pull away but Lexa had absolutely no intention of doing so for a very long time. As the kiss deepened, Lexas mind ceased to function properly, their assignment and everyone else in the world was forgotten.
Clarke heard the click of her door and she quickly pulled back, "Fuck, quick! Look like we are working. My parents are home."
"You are the one sitting on me Clarke." Lexa pointed out with a smile. Clarke blushed profusely and quickly plopped herself on the other side of the couch and picked up her textbook just in time. Abby and Jake entered the room and Lexa got up to greet them.
"Hello Lexa," Clarkes dad greeted cheerfully and then said genuinely, "its lovely to see you again."
"It is nice to meet you again Jake," Lexa replied remembering not to call him 'Mr Griffin', "and Mrs Griffin."
Abby was not not as welcoming. Abby thought Lexa meant trouble. She was rich and beautiful to the point that it would be surprising if she didnt grow up to be a super model and she just did not want her daughter to get hurt, not again. Clarke had not had an excellent track record after all, not after Finn. Although Abby was never told the full story of what happened due to it being a sensitive topic for Clarke she had a pretty good idea. Being the protective mother she was, she never wanted anything like that to happen again to her daughter.
"You are welcome to stay for dinner, Lexa." Jake offered kindly.
"Thank you for the kind offer but I must get home before my parents begin to worry about me." Lexa brushed off as she was not sure how Clarke would feel about her staying to have dinner with her parents.
"Alright, well we will hopefully see you again." Jake smiled.
"You will," Clarke interrupted, "We have a group assignment for English."
"Anyway, I should be off. Have a nice evening." Lexa fare welled. Clarke led her out of the house all the way to her car. Lexa was confused as to why the blonde bothered to come all the way but she was not left wondering long. The blonde leaned in and drew Lexa in fro a sweet kiss promising more to come.
"Ill see you tomorrow, Lexa."
"See you Clarke."
As the 2 or so months, Clarke and Lexa grew closer and closer. Their relationship became known to everyone at school and Clarke suspected that even her parents had caught on. Their study sessions were often interrupted by impromptu make out sessions. When they werent together, they were talking for hours on end on the phone and sending each other funny snap chats.
Clarke often found herself overwhelmed by Lexas caring nature. She told the brunette that she wanted to take things slowly and not doing anything yet, which Lexa was fully supportive of. Clarke couldnt have dreamed her. She never realized how toxic her relationship with Finn was until she met Lexa, who actually cared about her as a person and her opinion. Clarke could tell that her mother still didnt fully like Lexa, although it was getting better. Lexa had stayed a few times for dinner now and they had all gone pretty smoothly. Clarkes dad on the other hand, loved Lexa. It warmed her heart to see how close they had gotten.
Lexa and Clarke were in the middle of an intense make out session on the couch. Lexa straddled Clarke and began to trail hot kiss on the underside of her jaw, down to her pulse point on her neck, earning a pleased moan from the blonde. Clarke drew Lexa back up to her mouth, nipping her bottom lip. The blondes hands trailed down Lexas sides to the curve of her ass. She squeezed gently and the brunette moaned rather loudly in her mouth. They were both so fixed on the other girls touch, they did not even notice that Clarkes parents had arrived home.
Jake and Abby heard something going on in the living room and crept around the corner peeking at what was happening. Abby was about to burst out and interrupt them, but was stopped by Jake. Abby looked at him questioningly with an annoyed expression. Jake pointed towards the girls and Abby noticed that her daughters hands, which were traveling up the brunettes shirt were now interlaced with said brunette hands and they had stopped kissing. The parents waited around the corner ease dropping into their daughter conversation seeing no way out of it.
Clarke confusedly looked into Lexas eyes. "What?" She snapped unsure why Lexa stopped them, although she was kind of glad. Clarke was still unsure if she wanted to have sex with anyone yet. She didnt want to rush into things and then regret it. But after Finn she felt a pressure to consummate her relationship with Lexa as she most definitely did not want her to leave her.
"It is not that I do not want to do... that with you Clarke," Lexa assured the blonde which made her calm only slightly, "I do not want to rush into anything that you do not want to do or that you will regret." The blonde felt tears well up in her eyes, "I know you are still not ready and that is okay."
"I dont want you to leave me, Lexa." Clarke admitted with the tears welling in the blondes eyes finally falling, trailing down her cheeks. Lexa wiped them of gently using her thumb.
"I am not Finn." Lexa said sternly, "I will wait for you, whether it be 5 days, 5 months or 5 years. I am in it for the long haul. Just know that I will never leave you for such a reason. Clarke pulled Lexa for a tight hug and nestled her head into the brunettes neck.
Abbys heart was warmed by this. All her doubts about Lexa drifted away, she was a good kid and maybe even a good partner for her daughter. she looked over at her husband who was smiling smugly at her as if to say 'I told you so.' Abby and Jake quietly crept back to the door and pretended they were just getting home, "Hello, girls!" Abby called as they walked back to the living room. Lexa stood up as she always did, greeting them enthusiastically, "Good evening, Jake and Mrs Griffin."
"I think you can call me Abby by now, Lexa." Abby said warmly with a smile. Lexa was caught of guard but tried not to show it.
"Would you like to stay for dinner? We are having Pesto." Jake offered.
"I would love to."
They had a peaceful dinner making polite conversation. Clarke was surprise by her mothers change in heart but she was loving it. She was glad that Abby finally saw what a genuinely nice and beautiful person the brunette was. After they finished their meals Abby surprised them all again, "It is getting quite late, Lexa. Would you like to stay tonight?"
Lexa looked over at Clarke asking if she was alright with it, "She would love to, wouldnt you Lexa?" Clarke said hopefully.
"Only if you are sure that is okay?" Lexa asked unsure.
"Of course it is," Jake butted in, "You are welcome here anytime."
