truth is... I am in love with you

Part 6

'It's just I don't know how this will work,' Clarke says.

'Don't you think it's worth exploring?' Lexa asks.

'I do but it's still scary to me,' Clarke says.

'Look Clarke I know there's a bit of an age difference but you're 19 and I just turned 21,' Lexa says.

'Your age is not what's bothering me. It's just there will be rumors about us and we'll have to deny everything,' Clarke says. 'I mean unless you want to be fired and by the university,' Clarke says. Lexa chuckles. 'It's not funny Lexa,' Clarke says.

'Yes it is. You care about me.' Lexa smirks. Clarke rolls her eyes. 'It's cute,' Lexa says.

'Don't call me cute,' Clarke says.

'I'm not calling you cute,' Lexa says. Lexa smirked.

'Oh don't be so smug,' Clarke says. Lexa reached over the table and placed a soft kiss on Clarke's lip. Clarke grabbed the back of Lexa's head and deepened the kiss. A shout of Lexa's name made them pull away from each other.

'Costia?' Lexa asked. 'What are you doing here,'

'I came here to see my girlfriend,' Costia said.

'Girlfriend?' Clarke choked out. Lexa turned around to face the blonde.

'It's not what it looks like,' Lexa says desperately.

'What does it look like Lexa,' Clarke said. It was more of a statement than a question. She didn't want to hear it. Tears started to form in Clarke's eyes.

'You know what I should go,' Clarke said. Quickly getting up. Running her hand through her hair. Costia smirked at the blonde and then turned her face to the brunette. Watching the blonde leave. 'Clarke wait,' she whispered.

'I don't think she heard you sweetie,' Costia said.

'Haven't you ruined enough for me?' Lexa asked. She was filled with rage. She couldn't believe Costia showed up here.

'It seemed fun to do,' Costia said.

'Ha ha great so funny,' Lexa said. She crossed her arms.

'Oh come on Lex since when did you get so boring,' Costia said. Lexa approached her.

'I don't get it. We used to be best friends,' Costia said.

'Me neither. Now leave me alone please,' Lexa said.

'Why got somewhere to be?' Costia asked. She raised an eyebrow. She had a playful smirk on her face and Lexa wanted to slap it off of her face.

'Control your anger babe,' Costia said.

'I am controlling it,' Lexa said.

'You want to punch me,' Costia said playfully.

'I do, but I'm not going to,' Lexa said. Costia sighed.

'Look Lex,' Costia started.

'Leave,' Lexa said calmly.

'Or what?' Costia asked.

'I'll call the cops,' Lexa says.

'Then I'll tell them your little secret,' Costia says. Lexa rolled her eyes.

'And what secret could you possibly tell the cops,' Lexa said sarcastically.

'Oh no sweetie not the cops,' she said. She turned her phone around and showed Lexa the picture she took. Lexa's mouth fell open. 'How did you,' Lexa started. Costia smirked. 'So you're going to let me stay or I'll tell them all your dirty little secret,' Costia said.

'Leave Clarke out of this,' Lexa said.

'I would but I don't have anything else on you,' Costia said. 'Now come on honey we have some catching up to do. Oh and I also need a thousand dollar in,' she looked at her watch. 'Two hours,' Costia smiled.

'I can't believe you,' Lexa said.

'Oh sure you can. I'm pure evil right?' Costia smirked. Lexa remembered that night. She was drunk with her friends. She called Costia evil. They were still together back then. Both her best friends told her to break up with Costia and so she did. That was over two years ago.

'Costia I don't know what you want from me but I'm not giving you it,' Lexa said.

'I only have to press post to expose your dirty little secret,' Costia said. 'And your little college toy's life will be ruined.'

'Is that what I am to you?' Lexa knew this voice. Clarke came back and she heard Costia. 'Clarke,' Costia smiled. God she wanted to punch that face. 'Clarke no!' Lexa shouted. 'You,' Lexa whispered to Costia. She ran to Clarke. 'Are you okay?' Lexa asked.

'What do you think Lexa!' Clarke shouted. 'You were all I need more and now it turns out you have a girlfriend,' Clarke said. 'No I don't,' Lexa says. 'She's lying.'

'Prove it,' Clarke said.

'Well first of all she wants to expose us to ruin you and me,' Lexa says.

'What!' Clarke shouts.

'This is taking too long. Lexa pay me or I will do it,' Costia says.

'Fine but give me a minute,' Lexa says.

'Your wish is my command sweetheart,' Costia says.

'No wait Lexa you can't be serious,' Clarke says. Lexa turns around.

'Clarke you don't understand,' Lexa says.

'I do understand,' Clarke says. She puts a hand on Lexa's cheek. 'If she really wants to ruin our lives she's going to do it anyway,' Clarke says. 'Besides ruining our lives sounds a bit dramatic don't you think?' Clarke smiles.

'But Clarke,' Lexa says.

'Shhh,'
