I'm Not Afraid (Clexa AU)

Chapter 14

- Lexa -
I woke up in peace. Clarke was sleeping in my bed whilst I slept in Aden's. He had a normal sized single bed, mine was really big (I like my comfort.)
I slowly and quietly entered my room where Clarke was sleeping. I was in awe at how adorable she looked.
As silently as I could, I went to go take a shower. I knew I smelled quite bad since my priorities weren't about my hygiene and health, they were about Aden's and Clarke's.
Also it wasn't like I had anything better to do. Earlier I called the school again to tell them Aden was still sick so I didn't have to go in.
It's always so relaxing to take a hot shower; it refreshes me and makes me feel ready for the day.
I lost myself in the heat and the way it felt after not showering for a while. It was amazing and the cleanliness it gives me... There's nothing like it.

- Clarke -
I woke up and couldn't find Lexa anywhere. I kind of expected her to be at school, since it was a weekday. To my surprise, I heard the shower running.
I was very confused. She shouldn't ruin her education just because I'm not allowed to go. It's very sweet though. It shows that she cares about me a lot. I care about her too. If I'm completely honest with myself, I more-than-care about her. Never in my life did I expect anyone to sacrifice everything for me. I'm not sure that Lexa feels the same way...
Well I guess now would be a great time to find out.

I walk into the bathroom and close the door behind me. Lexa is clearly lost in the warmth. Noticing that her eyes are closed, I try and get her attention by slightly coughing.
She jumps, startled, but doesn't make a move to cover herself. I wonder what it's like to feel so confident in yourself. And why shouldn't she be? She's stunning in clothes, of course she's stunning without.
"What are you doing in here?"
" I'm just going to say it outright. I like you. As in LIKE like. I felt like you deserved to know, especially since you've been amazing to me. No one has ever made me feel like I'm loved like you have. "
Lexa looks at me but doesn't say anything. I'm worried that I might've ruined what we had. It's as she stares at me that I regret telling her.
"Did I... Say something wrong?" I wasn't sure what she was thinking .
"Of course not. Clarke I- I haven't really been hiding how I feel about you. I feel the same, more even."
She pulled me into the shower with her and kissed me until I forgot how to breathe.
I think we should cut to black here...

Author's Notes:
Hi Nicole here. I know I haven't been writing lately. I've been kinda busy and haven't had much time. I felt like it was finally time for them to start their relationship and I think there will be about 20 chapters in this story.
Don't forget to vote, comment and share; it really does mean a lot.
Nicole xx. : )
