truth is... I am in love with you

Part 8

Lexa woke up from the sound of her phone. Clarke groaned in her sleep which made Lexa chuckle. 'What time is it,' Clarke complained.

'6 am,' Lexa says. Clarke buries her head in her pillow and groans again. Lexa snorts.

'I'm sorry but I'm teaching a class at 9 and I still have work to do,' Lexa says. 'And that class is yours,' she adds. Lexa looks down and sees she's wearing one of Clarke's shirts. She doesn't remember changing last night. She doesn't remember falling asleep in Clarke's bed either. 'You fell asleep,' Clarke says as she notices Lexa is staring at the shirt. 'And I didn't think sleeping in a leather jacket would be comfortable,' she says. Lexa smiles. 'I don't think so either,' she says. 'I probably should go home,' Lexa says.

'No stay please,' Clarke says. She pulls Lexa closer. She places a soft kiss on the brunette's lips. 'I don't have any clothes here,' the brunette whispers. Clarke rolled on her back and groaned.

Clarke watches as Lexa leaves her room. On her way to her car. Lexa looks back over her shoulder. And that smirk oh that smirk she wanted to kiss it so bad. She closes the door when Lexa gets in her car.

'You love her,' Octavia says. Clarke jumps and turns around. Her heart is racing.

'We can see it Griffin,' Raven says. Clarke rolls her eyes and goes to the kitchen to make herself some breakfast.

Clarke sees Lexa on her way to her class. The class Lexa will teach. She approaches the brunette from behind. Her head leans on Lexa's shoulder as she whispers a soft 'hi'. Then she grabs Lexa's hand. Their shoulders brush. 'Clarke,' Lexa whispered.

'Everyone knows already. Bellamy thought he was funny and told everyone,' Clarke says.

'Are you okay?' Lexa asks.

'Yes more than okay, because now I can finally do this.' Lexa looks at her in curiosity. And then she feels Clarke's lips on her cheek. Lexa stops walking. Clarke walks away from her with a smirk on her face. Lexa shakes her head and chuckles. Then she catches up with Clarke. She grabs her hand.

The class goes by quickly. Their eyes lingered on each other a few times too long but nothing much had happened. Clarke was on her way out as Lexa grabs her wrist and makes her turn around. Clarke looks at her wrist and then her eyes meet Lexa's.

'I wanna take you out for dinner. Tonight,' Lexa says. Clarke raises her eyebrow. 'Do you?' Clarke asks.

'Yes,' Lexa says.

'I have to study for your stupid test,' Clarke says. Lexa laughs and throws her head back. Clarke's eyes trace Lexa's curves. The black skirt she's wearing is really distracting. At least for her. Clarke tugs at the blue shirt that's tucked into Lexa's skirt. 'Of course I'll go out with you,' she whispers.

'Okay,' Lexa whispers. Clarke pulls Lexa closer and kisses her lips.

'Clarke just pick a dress already,' Octavia whined.

'Shut up I want to look good,' Clarke says.

'You want to get,' Raven started but Clarke cut her off.

'That's not what I want,' Clarke says.

'Then why are you so nervous,' Octavia says.

'Well it's Lexa,' Clarke says.

'Yeah it's Lexa. She's all over you all the time,' Raven says.

'Red or black,' Clarke asks.

Black,' Raven says.

'Why?' Clarke asks.

'It looks better on you,' Raven says. So Clarke picks the black dress.
