Chapter 31
*Clarkes POV*
She threw herself on the couch with a grin, watching as Luna glanced at her and shook her head from the kitchen table.
“You are way too happy Griffin.”
She shrugged her shoulders.
Luna watched her for a second. “You and Lexa officially a thing or something.”
She didn’t think it was possible but her smile got even wider.
“Something like that yeah.”
Luna nodded her head and picked up her bowl of food and walked towards her room giving her a small smile before she closed the door.
She was replaying everything that happened over and over again in her head she was completely zoned out until she heard a knock on the door, she turned and stared at it for a moment wondering if Luna was expecting anyone.
When there was a second knock she stood and walked to the door, looking through the peephole and her heart began pounding instantly.
She pulled the door open quickly with a smile on her face, one that matched Lexas.
“Miss me already Lex?”
Lexas cheeks turned a light pink and she shrugged her shoulders. She reached forward and took her hand pulling her into the apartment and straight to her room.
She closed the door behind herself and turned to see Lexa standing very close to her, her breathe got caught in her throat and her eyes went back and forth from Lexas green ones to her lips.
She leaned in and Lexa smiled taking a step back. She felt her heart drop and her smile along with it.
Lexa saw her reaction and pressed a kiss to her forhead instead.
“Can you go on a date with me now?”
“Now?”
Lexa nodded quickly. “I don’t want to wait anymore Clarke….. I want you to be mine.”
She watched as Lexas cheeks turned red.
“Are you asking me to be your girlfriend Alexandria Woods?”
Lexa rolled her eyes and Clarke couldn’t help but laugh.
Lexa covered her hands with her face. ”Clarrrrke don’t laugh, I’ve never done this before.”
Her face scrunched up in confusion. “You haven’t?”
Lexa removed her hands shook her head no. “Costia, it just kind of happened, and well Luna asked me.”
She nodded her head. “Yes.”
Lexa looked at her hopefully. “Yes?”
“Mhm. Can I ask you something?”
Lexa looked at her and nodded.
“Can I kiss my girlfriend now?”
Lexa took a step back, “Nope, date first.”
Clarke let out a frustrated sigh. “Lex we kissed already, why are you being stubborn.”
Lexa grabbed her hand and began dragging her out of the apartmemt. “We are going to do this the right way right now.”
“Right now?” She looked down at her sweat pants and tshirt, “you cant be serious, atleast let me change.”
Lexa turned and looked her up and down, reaching forward and pushing a piece of hair out of her face.
“No, you look beautiful.”
Lexas POV
“Seriously, here?”
“Come on its our place still.”
She held the door for Clarke who was glaring at her with her arms crossed.
“Yeah, but we might see Niylah.”
She nodded her head and reached forward grabbing Clarkes arm and pulling her inside.
“Niylah is apart of our story Clarke.”
They slid into their normal booth but Clarke was biting her lip most likely from nerves.
Lexa got up and Clarke watched her suspiciously before she sat down next to her.
“Remember how I told you the first time we came here Niylah tried to give you her number but I never gave it to you?”
Clarke nodded her head.
“Looking back Clarke that was the day I realized I wanted you for myself. The thought of you and Niylah that day got me so angry and obviously I had no right to be but that is what I felt. This is where it started, this is where I realized I was starting to feel something, I just couldn’t name it at the time. Clarke this is our full circle, so yes it isn’t somewhere fancy and you are basically wearing pajamas but I don’t care, I’m one hundred percent sure that this is my last first date ever and I wanted it to be somewhere that means something.”
Clarkes eyes looked watery and before a tear could fall she was surging forward pressing their lips together. In that moment she didn’t care that the date wasn’t over, she was kissing Clarke Griffin and it felt like coming home and being on a rollercoaster at the same time.
They pulled away but left their foreheads pressed together.
“I love you Alexandria Woods.”
She smiled at the blue eyes in front of her praying that she would see them for the rest of her life and all of the ones to come after it because this was it Clarke was her soulmate, she knew it in every fiber of her being, and for the first time she didn’t feel guilty about it. In this life, the ones before it and the ones after it she knew somehow her and Clarke would always find their ways back to each other because a life without Clarke wasn’t worth surviving let alone living.
“I love you Clarke Griffin.”
