Beauty on the Balcony

Me Too

Lexa runs out and looks for Clarke. She don't see her. Why was Clarke so upset? Was it because of what she saw? why? She belongs to someone so why would it bother her? Lexa calls her phone but no answer. She tries a couple more times and still no answer. Where did she go? She walks back into the club and Raven meets her and is angry. " What happened in the bathroom Lexa?" Lexa runs her fingers through her hair and sighs. "She had to have walked in on Ontari kissing me!"  "What, you dirty dance with my best friend, having eye sex with her and then she finds you kissing another woman" Raven shouts. "It isn't like that, she kissed me but Clarke had to have seen that and ran before she saw me push her away" Lexa says. Anya walks up after hearing Raven and seeing that it was Lexa she was yelling at. 'Hey, what is going on here?" Lexa just looks defeated. Raven speaks up and says, "Your sister here was playing kissy face with another woman in the bathroom and Clarke walked in, she ran out upset. Lexa went to find her but she is gone and if I know Clarke, she got an Uber and went home to shut herself off!" Anya looks at Lexa and Lexa says,"It was Ontari" Anya throws her hard back and says,"That woman, I will have her banned from here from now on!" Raven looks at Anya and asks, "Wait, who is she?" Anya says,  "She is a woman who would love nothing more that to get in Lexa's pants and wallet and will not leave Lexa alone, hits on her every time she sees her in here. Lexa has tried to be nice and tell her she is not interested but she is very persistent." She looks at Lexa and assures her that she will handle it and that she wont have to worry about her in the club anymore. "Thanks sis", I will take care of it though since I own the club. Right now I have to see Clarke if she will let me". Raven apologizes to Lexa and and tells her go easy on Clarke that she is fragile.  "I will Rae, I promise".  Lexa leaves the club and heads to Clarkes to see if she can talk to her. She still can't understand why she would be this upset over her being kissed or kissing another woman. Clark has someone so why does she care? Only one way to find out. Lexa don't want to be the person in between Clarke and her bf or gf. She wont be the one who Clarke cheats with. She needs to get this straight right now. 

She gets home and then she walks down the beach in her dress clothes and all. She has no time to worry about that right now. She reaches Clarkes place and she sees no lights. She gets to the door and sees Clarke sitting on the couch with a bottle in her hand. She knocks. Clarke looks up and sees Lexa. "I don't want to talk to anyone" Clarke says. " I didn't think I was just anyone, I thought we were friends" Lexa said but with  a bit of sorrow in her voice. Clarke gets up and lets Lexa in and goes back to the couch. She has changed clothes and is wearing another oversized shirt and Lexa thinks she looks good like that. " I wanted to come check on you" Lexa said softly. Clarke takes a drink from the bottle and asks, "Why?" "That is what friends do Clarke, they check on each other" Lexa says.  "Oh yeah, friends" says Clarke. Lexa don't understand so she asks. "Why are you so upset" Lexa raised her voice a bit. 
"We are friends, we have hung out, talked and I don't get why you are acting like this". Clarke is quiet. Lexa sits down on the couch and looks at Clarke. "Clarke, talk to me, what is wrong?" "YOU KISSED HER, you kissed her in the bathroom just after we danced. You could not wait to get in there could you, I thought we was sharing something, I thought you felt what I felt but I guess I was so wrong!!" Clarke shouted. Lexa just looks at her and then she says, "Wait, what? you are one to talk Clarke Griffin, you have a boyfriend, or girl friend and you are upset because you saw another woman kiss me? She kissed me Clarke and I pushed her away but you didn't see that part because you just ran! That woman has wanted me for a long time and I have always told her I was not interested. Why do I need to explain myself to you, you were dancing all on me and you have someone already, the way I see this is you are the cheater!"  "I am no cheater, I know what that feels like and I would never, and I'd never cheat on some like you Lexa! What give you the idea I have some one anyway?" Clarke asked.  Lexa says, "I came here one night to invite you to the party and your phone rang, I heard you call them Babe and you love them so then I figured it was best not to invite you, then I decided to anyway because you need friends here and I wanted you to come. Then when I asked, you said you already had plans". Clark sits the drink down, gets up, and walks towards Lexa. She looks at her and says, "Lexa, I am not with anyone, that was Raven who called me that night and she invited me to a party and guess which party that was?" Lexa felt her face flush. "I really wanted to go with you but she had asked, I didn't know it was the same one. I am glad it was though because I got to dance with the most beautiful and sexiest woman I have ever seen." Now Lexa is really flushed. Then she says, :So, Y-you are not with anyone? But why get so upset over the other woman?" Clarke takes Lexa by the hands and looks at her and says, "Because I really like you". Lexa looks at her and says, "Oh, OHHH, so while we were dancing, you felt something?" Lexa asked. Clarke smiles and says, "Yes, I did and I think you did too". Lexa says, "I did, and to be honest, I haven't felt that in a long time, I liked it, you drive me crazy Clarke Griffin" "As you do me Lexa Woods, very crazy". They both laughed and Clarke says while standing up and pulling Lexa with her, "Well, I think we should maybe have our own dance party right here, just us and finish what we started".  Lexa is heated again and stands with Clarke, she pulls Clarke closer and says, "I think that is a great idea". Clarke reaches for a remote and turns on some slow music because she didn't get the slow dance she wanted before. The song plays by Billy Currington, She's Got A Way With Me. She then slides her arms around Lexa's neck and Lexa pulls her closer and holds her like she has wanted to for a while now. They looked at each other and their eyes were dark and they both felt that feeling again, the desire, the hunger, the want. They dance slowly just holding each other and feeling the closeness of the other. They were lost in each other and Lexa loved the way it felt and she pulls Clarke as close as possible and Clarke lays her head on Lexa's shoulder and nuzzles in her neck, she loves the smell of Lexa. The world around them does not exist right now, it is just them, in this moment. Lexa lets her hands rub up and down Clarkes back and Clarke sighs and looks up at Lexa and she sees such care in her eyes, she feels safe with Lexa. She thinks she could get used to this. Lexa looks at Clarke and sees something she thought she would never find again only this, this seems and feels so much more and she is really ok with it. They look at each other while dancing and Clarke feels Lexa shaking a little. She holds her close and asks, "Lex, are you ok, you're shaking, what's wrong?" Lexa smiles slightly and says, "I want to kiss you Vlarke  but I don't want to scare you and I will wait if that is what you want, I won't push, I just wanted you to..." And Clarkes lips on on hers! Lexa melts right there! She pulls Clarke so close and holds on to her and kisses her with all the passion she feels for her. Clarke holds nothing back either and the kiss is soft yet strong, Wild yet slow, everything they feel is in that kiss. their breathing is rapid and it is getting heated but Lexa doesn't want to go too fast, she don't want to scare Clarke or push. Lexa pulls away and Clarke looks at her and Lexa tells her what she feels and Clarke understands. They want to take their time. There are still things they want to know and learn about each other. Lexa wraps her arms back around Clarke and Clarke's around Lexa and they just sway for a bit. Then they walk to the couch and sit down. Lexa sits first and has Clarke but the hand and pulls her down to her. Clarke is sitting on Lexa's lap and Lexa is holding Clarke. Music plays, the light is dem, and they just hold each other. Clarke says softly, "I could get used to this". Lexa smiles and squeezes a little tighter and says "Me too". 

 Outside on the deck, Anya and Raven have come to check on them and see if all was ok and when they see them from the long glass windows and saw them on the couch, they smile and Rae says, "I think they are good for each other". Anya looks at Raven and puts her arm around her and says, "Me too". They walk away and leave the two alone and Clarke and Lexa fall asleep holding each other. 

As Anya and Raven are walking, Raven gets quiet and Anya asked her "what's wrong, you got quiet on me." Raven stops and looks at Anya and says, "I have not seen Clarke like this in a long time and I did not think that she would even give anyone the chance to get this close so I know Lexa means something to her now, the thing is, Clarke is only visiting for the summer. She will go back to D.C. to her gallery and what will happen then?" "I don't know but I do know this much, Lexa is the same way, she hasn't let anyone in since Costia hurt her so bad so I know too that Clarke means a lot to her, so that tells me they will work something out." 'You're right, I just want them happy." Anya puts her arm around Raven and says, " me too and right now, its only May so they have the rest of the summer and a lot can happen between now and then."

They walk arm and arm along the beach for a while just enjoying each others company.
