Chapter 1
"So that's it?"
"That's it." Lexa pursed her lips before sighing deeply.
"How long before you leave?" Clarke asked, not really wanting to know the answer.
"Two months, I leave the first week of August." The brunette dug her toe into the dirt as she waited for Clarke to respond.
"Two months isn't a long time. But, if that's all we have left we should make the most of it." The blonde turned to face Lexa fully, a gentle smile spreading across her face.
Lexa beamed, pulling the blonde into a tight embrace. She peppered kisses all over Clarke's face before settling her head in the crooke of the blonde's neck. "I was not expecting that positive of a reaction."
"I am disappointed, but it's not exactly a bad thing that you got a full ride to Brown on a track scholarship. You deserve this." Clarke pulled her arm from between the two girls and wrapped her free arm around the brunette's shoulders. "I'll miss you. Tons. But, I'm also so proud of you. How could I be mad?"
"How did I ever get so lucky to have you?" Lexa hummed quietly.
"You did give me a pretty big tip the first time you came into the shop." Clarke teased, "That was definitely the deciding factor for me."
Lexa shot up from her place next to the blonde, standing on the cement bike path in front of the bench. Lexa pointed a finger at her girlfriend before angrily glaring down at the blonde. "You take that back, Clarke!"
"I can't." The blonde shrugged her shoulders, smirking up at Lexa, "It's the truth. I can never tell a lie."
"You are not dating me because I tip barristas well." The brunette placed her hands on her hips, "You are dating me because I am smooth."
"Yeah, because your pick up line was so smooth." The blonde rolled her eyes and chuckled under her breath.
"It was!" Lexa defended, "I worked hard on that line!"
"I asked you how you were doing and you said 'I've been thinking about you a latte." Clarke groaned. "How long did you work on that for?"
The brunette deflated and slumped back onto the bench, "three days," she grumbled.
Clarke simply chuckled before placing a gentle peck to the brunette's cheek. "I love you."
