The After Math
Chapter Six: The After Math
One week Later…
Lexa and Clarkes were sitting together in the Griffin family living room, staring at the blonde’s computer screen. Clarkes parents were away for the weekend and the blonde wanted Lexa to come over to keep her company. Clarke clicked on Lexas singing video. “Lexa, you legit famous now. You have over 150 million views on that video. People look at you all funny when we walk down the street. There are articles about you all over the internet. You were mentioned on the Ellen Show. On fucking Ellen Lexa.”
“What do we do now?” Lexa asked.
“What do you want?” Clarke answered with her own question.
“You.” The brunette replied with a cheesy grin.
“I meant with your singing you sap.”
“I think I want to continue, I mean I do like it. I just never knew that anyone would want to listen. I know my parents will definitely not approve.”
“There are millions of people that want to listen. And If that’s what you want to, your parents can go suck it.”
“You try telling them that Clarke.”
“I will.” Clarke placed her laptop on the table and swung her leg around so she was straddling her girlfriend. She drew Lexa in for a sweet kiss which soon turned into a heated one. She wrapped her arms around her while Lexa caressed her jaw with one hand and buried the other one in Clarke's hair, pulling her head closer, deepening the kiss even further. Lexa tasted so good... The way her mouth moved with hers – they fit so perfectly. How could just kissing someone make her feel like this? Clarke wanted more. The blonde hands travelled down and began to tug on the bottom of the brunette’s shirt. Lexa pulled back slightly, looking into her eyes, seeking permission.
“I’m ready.” Clarke replied confidently without a moment’s hesitation.
Clarke crashed against Lexa's lips and that was all the confirmation the brunette needed. Lexa picked her up while continuing to kiss her and started heading to Clarkes bedroom. Lexa's hands were running over her back and down her ass and thighs, grasping and pulling hard at Clarke. Impatiently, Clarke began to tear at Lexa's clothes. Lexa walked them back a few steps before shoving Clarke up against the wall, pressing into her with her body while she used her free arms to pull off her coat and shirt quickly. The delicious weight of Lexa's strong body pushing against her was almost too much to bear. Clarke palmed the small, perfect, soft mounds available to her, rolling the pebbles between her fingers almost roughly, eliciting a sharp gasp from Lexa that might as well have been her own.
Her body was flooded with need. Heat streaked through every part of her, her skin was almost feverish to the touch. The pressure coiling deep in her belly and between her thighs was unbearable. She couldn't stand another moment of them standing like this. She needed to touch her. She needed everything. Lexa's tongue plunged over and over into her mouth, demanding, never asking. God, how she wanted this.
Heady and delirious with the assault on her senses, Clarke moaned as Lexa dropped to her throat. Her lips were soft and full, biting at her, kissing her, sucking on her throat. She was everywhere and it was not enough. Callused hands dove under Clarke's shirt and traveled greedily across her belly and up her back. Every touch that was just a little harder, a little firmer, a little further...it was driving her mad and giving her what she craved all at once.
Clarke had never known desire like this.
they stumbled through the doorway to Clarke’s room and collapsed onto the bed with Lexa firmly on top.
Lexa pushed her knee in between Clarke's legs, forcing her strong thigh high and hard into Clarke's throbbing core. Clarke whimpered, grinding against her wantonly. Clarke uttered such a soft, whimpering gasp when Clarke first touched her...the sound alone nearly drove her over the edge.
It was quiet in the room. Her heart rate had finally, after what felt like ages, was returning to normal. Somehow she knew normal was never going to be the same again though.
Lexa lay naked next to her, their bodies entwined, with only the soft glow of moonlight slipping through slatted shutters to light the room. She was ethereal. The way her face curved, the line of her kiss swollen lips, the dark, penetrating eyes that dared to peer into Clarke's very soul... She was young and so very beautiful. Clarke reached out in the dark and traced soft, plumpness of Lexa's mouth, trailing down to her jaw with just the lightest touch of her fingertips. Lexa sighed contentedly.
One month later…
Lexa and the Griffins sat around the dinner table eating Abby’s delicious Sunday night roast.
“Lex, if you want an agent, you just gotta put your name out there.” Clarke told her.
“There will be plenty of people willing to do it for you. Especially after that video of you on YouTube.” Jake chipped in.
The Griffins had become Lexas second family. Her real parents were always away on business trips and never had time for. Things had gotten even worse after the brunette came out to them because they were dick heads. They were just getting further and further apart. They didn’t even know that she could sing after all. She knew that if she told them that she wanted to seek out a carrier in music they would not approve. They had pushed her to go into law and follow in their footsteps.
Lexa decided that that their opinion was not even worth it. This is what she wanted to do so she was going to do it.
“Your right. This is what I want to do. I just must put myself out there.”
Six months after the video was released…
Clarke came back inside with a letter in her hand from Yale university and an excited look on her face.
“I can’t get too excited I might not have even gotten in.” Clarke had graduated with good marks, there was a good chance of her making the arts program at Yale. But then again there were thousands of people that wanted to go there.
“Clarke, the artwork you submitted in you folio was amazing. They would be stupid not to except you.”
The blonde sat down and slowly ripped open the envelope and took out the letter. Clarke read the letter carefully in her head.

Dear Ms Griffin
I am pleased to inform you that the Arts Program has made a recommendation to the Faculty of Graduate Studies that you be admitted to the Arts program for the 2018 academic year beginning September 28th. The Faculty of Graduate Studies reviews our recommendations for admission and it is their decision, not ours, which is final. If their decision is consistent with our recommendation, they will soon send you a formal letter of admission for use with Canadian Immigration.
Clarke didn’t even finish the rest of the letter. She had a huge grin on her face as she looked up from the letter.
“I got in!!!” The blonde squealed.
“I’m proud of you Clarke. You deserve this.” Lexa hugged her girlfriend tightly.
One year after the video was released…
Tonight, was the big night. It was only half an hour until Lexas first album was going to be released. Lexas manager, Anya pacing nervously across the room while Clarke and Lexa just sat on the couch. Anya had become a mentor and a sisterly figure to Lexa. She was glad that she had chosen her as a manager, but she did stress out a lot. Lexa was happy with the songs that she had produced and was excited to see what other people thought of the songs.
“Anya, it is going to be fine. Just come have a drink. Raven and Octavia will be here shorty and the album will be released on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, everything.” Lexa assured her manager.
Lexa took out her phone and got onto her Instagram. After the video was released she gained about 200k followers. She posted the cover photo with the caption @Lexawoods: First album drops in 20 minutes. Couldn’t have done it without you @Clarkegriffin @AnyaOaks
