Unexpected Love

Chapter 3

Lexa POV

It was the next day. Lexa had the clothes and stuff laid out to dry as Clarke slept. Lexa had her shirt off letting it dry. Clarke had a blanket over her due to the cold night. The sun was out now and it was hot.

Lexa was making sure Clarke wouldn't fall off the raft. Clarke looked peaceful sleeping, no worry or stress in her face. "Maybe I'm a smart lesbian." Lexa muttered. "Still useless though."

A few minutes later, Clarke woke up. Clarke was looking at her body and Lexa acted like she didn't notice. "How are you feeling?" Lexa asked, looking at Clarke.

"Thirsty and hungry." Clarke said in a raspy voice.

"Well I don't have water but..." Lexa trailed off. Lexa grabbed a Cliff Bar and handed it to Clarke. "I think it's okay to eat, they were on top of metal and other stuff. It was dry when I got it."

"You need to eat." Clarke said.

"I ate after you fell asleep." Lexa lied. Clarke looked at her. "Clarke I ate, now you eat." Lexa said, pointing at the Cliff Bar. Clarke finally started to eat.

"Do you have anything else?" Clarke asked.

"It's better for you not to know the answer to that." Lexa said. "I just grabbed everything I could, I don't know what we will need. But we need to start catching fish for food if I don't have food."

"I am not eating raw fish." Clarke said.

"It's not as bad as you think." Lexa said. "Also we need to not get sick from the fish."

"You are full of good news." Clarke grumbled.

"We are alive?" Lexa said. "Is that good news?"

"Marrying an asshole is sounding pretty good right now." Clarke said, looking out to the ocean.

"Marrying?" Lexa asked.

"My mom is making me marry this rich man that comes home drunk every night, thinks that he's the hottest man ever when he looks like a hobo." Clarke said. "He took his fancy jet plane or whatever it was to England and sent me on a plane that crashed and now I'm stuck on a raft in the middle of nowhere."

"That's fucked up." Lexa said.

"Why were you going to England?" Clarke asked.

"For a work thing." Lexa said. "Well I guess they are gonna be missing me. Anya's gonna kill me when I get back."

"Anya?" Clarke asked.

"She was in the military with me." Lexa said. "Saved her ass more times than I can count."

"Did you have a nickname?" Clarke asked.

"Commander." Lexa said. Clarke smiled. "Get your mind out of the gutter." Lexa said, smiling.

"My mind didn't go anywhere." Clarke said, crossing her arms. Lexa gave her a look. "Lexa we're in the middle of nowhere and we're arguing about where my mind went." Clarke said.

"You have anything else to do?" Lexa asked.

They sat there, looking around, seeing if there was any land or a boat or basically anything for the next few hours.

"Let me check your head." Clarke said.

"I do not have a concussion, if that is what you are looking for." Lexa said.

"Your head was bleeding yesterday. I don't need the only other person on this thing bleeding out or dying from infection."

"Fine." Lexa said, putting her dried shirt back on. They both moved to the middle of the raft carefully. Clarke cleaned up the blood and looked at it.

"It's just a small cut." Clarke said.

"Told you I was fine." Lexa said. "I know enough about first aid to know if I'm dying or not."

"Have fun if it gets infected." Clarke said.

"If I die because of that, I'll haunt you as a ghost." Lexa said. Clarke rolled her eyes.

Lexa looked into the ocean and saw a school of big fish. She waited until one was close enough before reaching in and grabbing a fish.

"Lexa!" Clarke said, as she quickly put it on the raft.

"What?" Lexa asked, killing the fish.

"You just caught a fish." Clarke said in shock. "With your hands."

"Now, we can eat later." Lexa said. "And yes I did catch a fish with my bare hands." Lexa wiped her wet hands on her pants. "If you have a healthy lifestyle you should be fine eating it raw."

"I'll starve." Clarke said.

"It's not as bad as you think it will be." Lexa said. "We can eat this tomorrow to see if the night freezes anything off it. I don't think it will be worth a shot. Now we just need water." Lexa sighed, moving hair out of her face.
