Bright Eyes
Clarke glanced around the small cafe, grinning at how empty it was. Without an ounce of guilt, she flipped the sign to closed and turned the radio on. If she was going to be forced to work the late shift by herself, she at least deserved a small distraction.
As the music floated through the room, she grabbed a broom and started to clean up the area, singing along with the music. “And I need you now tonight and I need you more than ever and if you only hold me tight, we’ll be holding on forever”
She danced across the floor with the broom, a grin on her face as she sang to her favorite song, not a care in the world, not even paying enough attention to the door opening.
Lexa tilted her head to the side, a small smile on her face as she saw the girl dancing through the door, deciding the cafe may not be closed after all. “Uhm, excuse me?” She said softly, watching the girl sing.
She listened for a moment, recognizing the song, humming along with it for a moment, before she found a place to jump in. Every now and then, I know there’s nothing any better, there’s nothing that I just wouldn’t do. “Turn around, bright eyes.”
Clarke jumped slightly, turning around with wide eyes. “Oh jeeze, what are you doing?” She asked, hand over her hammering heart. Despite the surprised anger twinging in the back of her head, she couldn’t help but admire the beauty in front of her.
“Well, I saw you through the window and hoped you weren’t actually closed.” Lexa smirked, biting her lip as she looked the blonde over. “But if you are, I can just head out.”
Clarke shook her head, moving to prop the broom up against the counter. “No, I uh..I turned the sign around so I could..” She blushed crimson, running a hand through her hair. “Anyway, what can I get you?”
Lexa smiled softly, moving to sit at one of the stools. “Could I just get a black coffee, your largest size.” She replied, watching the blonde wash her hands.
“Of course.” Clarke grinned, pouring the hot coffee into the largest sized cup they had. “Here, on the house.”
Lexa took a sip, savoring the warmth that spread through her chest. “Thank you, I’m Lexa.” She said, holding out a hand.
Clarke’s eyes moved from the offered hand to the brunette’s face and back again, before taking it. “Clarke and I would appreciate if you never mentioned what you saw here today.” She said, her cheeks burning once more.
“Mm, your secret’s safe with me.”
