Chapter 3
She lay with her arms wrapped around her waist, nose pressed between shoulder blades, her familiar smell bringing her comfort, she really didn’t want to get up.
Luna played with her fingers that were laying on her stomach.
“I have to get up Lex.”
She tightened her hold around her making Luna giggle and she let out a grunt that was supposed to be a no.
“I love it when you’re cuddly babe but I have to meet up with Clarke back home.”
Lexa lifted her head, “I do not cuddle.”
“So what do you call this?” She shrugged her shoulders and buried her face back in between Lunas shoulders.
They stood that way for another five minutes before Luna wiggled herself away. Lexa watched as Luna grabbed her clothes from around the room. She sat up pulling the sheet around herself to cover her body.
“Are you sure we have to go?” Luna turned and looked at her with a small frown on her face making her feel guilty
“I want you to meet Clarke and Octavia, I really want this to work with them, I need to make some friends besides you and Lincoln. Please don’t bail on me.”
Lexa nodded her head, she would go for her, she wanted her to like it here. Luna gave a small smile and leaned on the bed pressing a quick kiss to her lips.
“See you at eight. Two hours Lexa don’t be late.”
She must have fallen asleep because next thing she knew Lincoln was banging on her door. “Lexa we have to be there in forty minutes! You better not be sleeping!” She sat up quickly, shit she was a fucking failure. She jumped up grabbing a towel to wrap around herself and ran to the shower.
“Luna is going to kill you if you are late.”
“Shut up I know!”
She showered as fast as possible, was in and out in three minutes, she ran back in her room wrapped in a towel dripping. Lincoln was still sitting on the couch.
“Thirty five minutes! It takes twenty to get there.”
She grumbled as she looked through her closet grabbing black skinny jeans with tairs in them and a white shirt. She grabbed the blower and dried her hair as fast as she could, it would have to stay down.
“Three minutes Lexa.” She grabbed her eyeliner and mascara working as quickly as possible. She put on her combat boots and leather jacket, grabbing her lip gloss and running into the living room where Lincoln was smiling at her.
“Well hurry up get up.”
He just sat there smiling at her, she glared at him and turned to look at the time on the cable box. It was only seven twenty five. She was now fifteen minutes early.
“You are an asshole, we would have made it on time.”
Lincoln just shrugged and patted next to him for her to sit down.
She shook her head and grabbed his arm, “Nope we are getting there early now.”
**Clarkes POV**
Raven: O and I will be there in like ten.
She put her phone in her pocket right as they stepped in.
“The girls are running a little late.”
Luna nodded, “I really have to use the bathroom, meet you at the bar?”
“Sounds good.” Luna rushed towards the bathroom as she made her way over to the bar. She found a space to stand and was waiting to flag the bartender down when her eyes caught a woman sitting on the opposite side end of the bar.
She had long hair, and perfect lips, with a cute nose. Clarke wished the lights were on and not just the strobe ones so she could really see what she looked like, but she already knew she was beautiful. So beautiful that Clarke wanted to talk to her.
She never was the kind of person to hit on someone let alone a girl who was probably straight. She watched as the girl continually looked around as if she was searching for something.
She couldn’t just sit there she had to go talk to her, or she would definitely regret it. This was the first time since Finn that she felt any sort of connection with anyone, she couldn’t let that pass.
She walked until she was standing right behind the girl. Her nerves were killing her, she could do this though she knew she could. She took a deep breath and tapped the girl on her shoulder.
When the brunette turned around she had a small smile until she saw that it was Clarke who had tapped her. Clarkes face fell when she saw the disappointment in the other girls face.
But then she smiled at her and Clarkes heart began beating a million times a minute, that smile was for her, she was so nervous she was sure she was shaking and just hoped that the girl in front of her couldn’t tell.
She couldn’t stop staring at that smile, she only realized she hadn’t said anything when the girl stopped smiling at her and tilted her head to the side with a confused look on her face.
“Are you okay?”
Clarkes eyes widened, she was an idiot.
“Crap, yeah sorry, you’re just really beautiful, kind of distracted me.”
She saw what looked like the girl blush, but it was too dark to tell the only give away was that she looked down and a tiny smile appeared but just as quickly disappeared from her lips.
“Thanks.”
Clarke nodded and sat down next to her, the girl looked at her again before turning herself to face the bar once again, she looked like she was concentrating on running her fingers through her hair. She huffed in frustration when they got snagged on a knot.
“Everything okay?”
She nodded and didn’t seem like she was going to say anything else but then she shrugged and turned to face her making Clarke smile widely.
“My roommate is an asshole who lied about the time to get me ready early, I didn’t exactly do everything I needed to like comb out my hair, it’s a mess.”
Clarke shook her head and couldn’t help but reach forward and twist a piece of hair around her fingers. When she saw the girl was completely taken by surprise by what she did she released it and moved out of her personal space.
“It looks good to me.”
“Are you hitting on me?”
Clarke felt herself blush but she wasn’t going to back down now, she had already made a fool of herself. She leaned forward putting a hand on the girls knee.
“Lets say I was hitting on you, how would you react?”
She looked down at Clarkes hand and picked it up with her own, She held onto it for a moment before putting it on Clarkes own leg making her frown.
“I’d tell you that I am really flattered, but I am here to meet up with my girlfriend and her friends.”
“Oh my god I’m so.”
“Clarke! You found Lexa!”
Clarke turned her chair to see Luna with a wide smile on her face as she walked towards them. This couldn’t be happening. This was Lexa? Lexa, as in Lunas girlfriend Lexa? She turned to see Lexa staring back at her with wide eyes.
Before Lexa could say anything Luna was standing in front of her bending down to press a kiss to her lips, Clarke looked away quickly.
“How did you know this was Lex?”
Clarke looked back to them, Luna was standing between Lexas legs and Lexa had a hand on her waist. She dragged her eyes to Lunas face, she seemed so excited.
“Lucky guess?”
“Well I hope Lexa here was nice, she tends to be grumpy.”
“I do not.”
Clarke looked at Lexa who had a small pout on her lips thanks to Lunas words, she couldn’t not look at her lips that was until Luna ran her finger over Lexas bottom lip so she would stop pouting. Clarke looked away quickly noticing the guy Luna was on facetime with the other day heading towards them.
“That’s Lincoln right?”
Lexa and Luna looked to where she was pointing.
“Yeah, that’s the ass of a roommate I was telling you about.”
Clarke nodded taking in his appearance, “Still think he’s hot Clarke?”
She looked at Luna who had a teasing face on, and she glanced at Lexa who had a small frown, or was she imagining it?
“Definitely, but not my type.” The moment she said that she swore Lexas frown disappeared which brought a smile to her own face.
“Hello ladies!” Lincoln grabbed her into a hug before she had the chance to figure out what was happening. He then went to hug Luna and received a middle finger from Lexa.
“Aww still mad at me Lex?” She just glared at him harder which made Clarke laugh. Lexa smiled at her lightly.
“Luna!”
They all turned to see Octavia and Raven making their way towards them, Luna began walking towards them and the moment Lincoln spotted Octavia he was right behind her. Clarke stood to walk after them but Lexa grabbed her by the arm making her turn to her.
“I won’t tell anyone if you won’t.”
She took the beautiful girl before her in, she needed to remind herself that this was Lunas girlfriend and checking her out constantly was definitely not allowed.
She stuck her pinky out towards Lexa who seemed amused by the action but she took it after a moment and they brought their hands to their mouths pressing their lips to their own thumbs. Clarke pulled back and Lexa let go of her hand after another second.
“Deal.”
