Chapter 4
She knew they had gotten there early but she found a seat at the bar and looked around to see if she spotted Luna.
When she felt a tap on her shoulder she was sure it was Luna, she turned around ready to tease her about how early she had been when she saw it wasn’t her and she frowned.
When she saw the girls sad face at her reaction she did her best to give her a smile, to tell her it was okay. It got awkward when the girl just kept watching her, she took the moment to really take in the girl before her.
It was a little too dark to really see details but she saw the blonde hair, it looked a little different at the ends like a different color but she couldn’t really tell. She was small but curvy.
When she focused back in the girl was still just staring at her.
“Are you okay?”
She saw the girls eyes widen comically big and had to hold in her laugh. She didn’t genuinely laugh very often so it took her by surprise.
“Crap, yeah sorry, you’re just really beautiful, kind of distracted me.”
She felt her cheeks blush and looked down quickly with a small smile. What was wrong with her? She doesn’t blush and being complimented on her looks usually annoys her.
“Thanks.”
She watched as the blonde took the seat next to her and turned back to facing the bar. She touched her hair and felt how it was becoming knotted, she began running her fingers through it but they kept getting caught. Damn Lincoln. She must of made a noise because the blonde was talking to her again.
“Everything okay?”
She nodded her head but then thought what the hell and decided to start playing nice a little early. She turned to face her and saw her smile brightly.
“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.”
Before she realized what was happening the blonde had moved in closer and was twisting a piece of her hair around her finger. Before she could say anything she moved back again.
“It looks good to me.”
“Are you hitting on me?”
She watched as the girl moved forward and put a hand on her leg, she must have felt very confident.
“Lets say I was hitting on you, how would you react?”
She picked her hand off of her knee and held it in her hand a moment glancing at her, she was very pretty. She placed the girls hand on her own leg. She saw the frown on the blondes face and it made her feel guilty for a moment.
“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!”
Her head snapped away from the girls gaze when she heard her name. Luna was walking towards them. Clarke? This girl was Clarke, Lunas roommate. She brought her gaze back to Clarke who turned and just stared back at her. Next thing she knew Luna was in front of her pressing a kiss to her lips. When she pulled away Lexa noted that Clarke had turned away from them.
Luna turned and placed herself between her legs, Lexas hand went to her waist automatically.
“How did you know this was Lex?”
Clarke turned back to face them and Lexa saw her look at where her hand was placed, which for some reason made her want to move it but she refrained.
“Lucky guess?”
“Well I hope Lexa here was nice, she tends to be grumpy.”
She mad a face, why was Luna telling Clarke she was grumpy, she was here to be nice.
“I do not.”
Luna ran her finger over her lip, her instinct was to try and bite her finger but Clarkes presence made her think twice and refrain.
Once she released Clarkes hand after making the deal, she began walking towards the rest of the group, she felt the Clarkes presence behind her.
They found a booth and sat down, she ended up sitting between Luna and Raven, directly across from Clarke.
They all had their drinks, Luna was drinking too fast and starting to get a little drunk. Drunk Luna was a handsy Luna.
Luna leaned in to her ear to whisper, “You look great Lex, want to get out of here soon?”
She turned to look at her,” We haven’t been here long Lun, you wanted to make new friends so do that.”
Luna pouted at her and she rolled her eyes in response turning her attention to her drink, she moved her straw around absentmindedly. She felt Luna move her hair to her other shoulder but ignored it. She felt eyes on her a looked up to see Clarke was watching her.
She thought she would look away when she saw she was caught but she didn’t they just watched each other but then Lexa felt Lunas lips on her neck and she closed her eyes at the feeling it sent through her body. When she opened her eyes again Clarke was no longer watching her.
“Hey Lexa!” She looked next to Luna to see it was Octavia who was calling her.
“Yeah?”
“Do you realize how much Luna is into you?” The slurring in her voice showed that was pretty drunk herself.
Lexa just nodded and glanced at Luna who seemed embarrassed.
“She is seriously in love with you, you guys are cute. I totally approve.”
She shrugged her shoulders, “Thanks I guess.”
Luna grabbed her face and pressed a kiss to her lips. “I love you.”
Lexa looked away, “Me too.”
“Spend the night at my place?”
“I don’t know Luna, would Clarke be okay with it?”
“Lexa it’s my place too.”
“I don’t know.”
“Clarke!”
Lexas head snapped up and she saw Clarkes do the same. ‘Luna don’t.”
Luna rolled her eyes, “Do you mind if Lexa spends the night. She won’t unless you say it’s okay.”
Clarke glanced between the two before her eyes held hers firmly, “If she wants sure.”
“See I told you.” Lexa just nodded and went back to playing with her drink, she looked over and saw Lincoln was watching her with sad eyes. She shook her head at him, looked in front of her and saw that Clarke was watching them.
As they all said their goodbyes Lexa watched as Octavia took Lincolns phone and put her number in, she smiled at how happy he seemed by the action. Luna tugged on her hand and she waved goodbye with her other one to the rest of the group.
Clarke walked on Lunas other side not saying a word, she wondered if it was just her who felt awkward. The walk to their house was short, and when they got inside Clarke went straight to her room closing the door behind herself.
“So this my place.” Lexa looked around, it was bright lots of colors. There were even paintings on the walls. She walked over to one, it was of her favorite part of central park.
“Clarke made those.”
“Really?”
She turned to face Luna who was watching her.
“Yeah, I told you shes an artist.”
“I know, but well a lot of people are artists. But this is actual art. Know what I mean?”
Luna stepped behind her, wrapping her arms around Lexas waist. Lexa leaned back so that her head was right next to hers but she couldn’t take her eyes off the painting, something about it was drawing her in.
Luna began pressing kisses to her neck, she felt the effects it was having on her. She turned so they were facing each other and pressed their lips together. The kiss got deep fast, Luna pulled away “We should take this to my room.
Lexa just nodded and let Luna take her hand to lead her to the bedroom, but she couldn’t help but glance over shoulder one more time to look at the painting.
**Clarkes POV**
She couldn’t sleep she tossed and turned but she couldn’t get comfortable. She sighed in frustration and threw the covers off of herself. She got up and took her blanket with her to couch in the living room.
She began searching through the channels and had just decided on Friends when Lunas door opened and Lexa stepped out.
She had her back towards her as she was trying to close the door quietly. Clarke couldn’t help but take her in, She was wearing shorts and a loose tishirt. Her long legs were on full display and she couldn’t atop her eyes from staring at them even though she knew it was wrong.
When Lexa turned around she jumped and gave a small yelp.
“Jesus Clarke, I thought you were sleeping.”
Clarke shrugged trying not to smile at Lexa being scared. “I couldn’t sleep.”
Lexa nodded awkwardly standing in front of the door, she looked over her shoulder at it, “Me either, but sorry for interrupting.”
Lexa turned back around placing her hand on the door knob to go back in.
“Lexa you can stay out here.”
Lexa froze her movements and looked at her over her shoulder, “Are you sure? I don’t want to intrude.”
Clarke couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “I’m sure.”
Lexa nodded but didn’t make her way to the couch but instead walked over to the wall and stared at one of her paintings.
“This is my favorite part of central park.”
Clarke stood up and dropped the blanket on the couch making her way to stand next to Lexa. “It’s mine too, I like to do my paintings there.”
Lexa turned to look at her then, it made her heart beat faster, this was the first time Clarke got to really see her eyes, they were green and beautiful. She shouldn’t have expected anything less.
They stared at each other until Lexa spoke.
“Beautiful.” The word caught her off guard.
“What?”
Lexas gestured to the painting. “It’s beautiful, you are very talented.
Clarke let out a breath she didn’t realize she was holding.
“Thank you…. Do you like friends?”
She gestured to the television.
Lexa turned and sat on the opposite side of the couch the she had been occupying. She looked up expectantly, so Clarke sat in her previous position.
“How much would you judge me if I told you I had never seen it?
Clarkes eyes widened in surprise, who in this world had never seen Friends? This had to be some kind of joke. Lexa gave her a shy smile, god she was beautiful.
“Are you serious?”
She just nodded. Clarke shot up and grabbed the other remote from the table and turned on Netflix.
“What are you doing?”
She looked at Lexa who seemed confused.
“They recently put all of it on Netflix, if we are doing this we are going to do it right.”
Lexa rolled her eyes but nodded and lifted her feet so they were laying on the couch next to hers which were back under the blanket.
They finished the first episode. “Joey is an idiot and Rachel is stupid.”
“Hey don’t judge them just yet!” Lexa looked at her with that same small smiled and shrugged as she began rubbing her legs up and down. Clarke followed the movement of her hands.
“Are you cold?”
“I’m fine.”
Clarke lifted the blanket up and gestured for Lexa to put her legs under but she just stared at her.
“Don’t be stubborn Lexa.”
Lexa watched her another moment before putting her legs in. The moment Clarke lowered the blanket she sighed in content making Clarke giggle.
“Shush.” Lexa snuggled down getting more comfortable, they weren’t touching but Clarke could feel the heat from her body.
“If you want to go to sleep let me know.”
Lexa looked at Lunas bedroom door and then back to Clarke, “Trust me I won’t be sleeping.”
Clarke just nodded and pressed play for the next episode. Lexa made small comments now and then making her laugh. By the fourth episode Clarke realized that Lexas comments had stopped and the brunette was fully asleep.
She wondered if she should wake her up and send her to bed but then she realized that would mean sending her to Luna and that didn’t sit well with her. She turned off the television and felt her own sleep coming, she fell asleep to the sound Lexas soft breaths,
