Clarke's P.O.V.

I never loved Finn or any other boyfriends of mine. I never felt anything for the boys I slept with. I never actually wanted to love someone. Is it because I didn't know what it felt like?

When I turn my head, I see Lexa laying next to me. Once I see her face, this warm feeling comes to my heart. Brunette looks so innocent. I feel the need to protect her from everything and everyone.

Is this love? Yes, I think it is, but it's different from the way I love my mom or loved my dad. I never thought that I loved this woman, until this night. And it does feel good, feeling the need to protect someone.

I slowly turn around and grab my phone. It's already 12 AM. It's late, I should wake Lexa up.

,,Good morning, beautiful" I say while putting a piece of her hair behind her ear. My girlfriend groans, her green eyes meet mine.

,,Mmm...what time is it?" Lexa asks with a sleepy voice.

,,It's 12." I answer and slowly kiss her nose. Lexa gives me a confused look.

,,We should wake up, Lexa. Also, Anya called you. I had to hang up, because I was still trying to sleep.'' The brunette gets out of bed and grabs her phone.

,, I'm gonna call her back. She doesn't call me very often, so it might be urgent.'' I nod and give her a smile.

After ten minutes of talking, she comes back and jumps on a bed.

,, CLARKE, Uh CLARKEEE.'' Lexa screams, putting her head on the bed and staring at the ceiling.

,, What?!''

,,Anya bought two tickets to New York! It's my early birthday present!'' No, I don't want her to leave, not at this moment.,, You know what that means right?'' Of course I know, you're leaving.

,,What?''

,, It means that you're going to visit your dream city!'' I choke on air. Well... that was unexpected. Am I dreaming?,, What is it Clarke? You don't want to?''

,, Of course I want! Going to New York with your girlfriend, how could someone don't want that?''

,, so we're going?'' Of course we are! But instead of saying that I give her a soft kiss in the lips, and she takes that as a thank you .

***************

That's how we lived, spending each other's birthdays and growing old together. Having the best daughter and the best life together.

I still sometimes remember when those green eyes met mine for the first time.
