Dare you to love me

The next morning...

Clarke POV

I feel the sunlight coming in through the window and slowly open my eyes, I try to stretch my body out but hit something in the bed next to me. That's when I remember that Lexa has stayed over, and minus one major mishap, we had had an amazing night together.

I can feel her arm wrapped over me, protectively, pulling me in tighter as I try to move and I love the sensation it sent coursing through my body. I can feel her breathing on the back of my neck and it sends tingles all the way down my spine. I smile to myself realising how lucky I am to have Lexa Woods in my bed.  I roll over onto my back and gently move some of the hair from her face, taking in all her natural beauty.

How can anyone look so perfect before they even wake up? What the hell had Lexa Woods done to me?

I never thought I would be waking up in bed next to a girl, who I had been fooling around with the night before. I wanted to be more, I wanted to be her girlfriend, but I knew Lexa didn't do girlfriends, but then again she was doing a lot of things with me that she normally wouldn't do. Staying the night being one of them, or at least not running off quickly the next morning before her conquest woke up.

"Morning gorgeous" I quietly whisper to her, rubbing her soft cheek with my fingers. Her eyes flutter open and she suddenly smiles at me, asif just like myself for a quick moment she had forgotten where she was.

"Hey, good morning. Are you okay?" I nod my head, lost in her dark green eyes. She leans in, placing a kiss on my cheek, causing my cheek to redden.

"I love how after how much we messed around last night you still blush when I give you a simple kiss" I try to hide my face in the covers embarrassed, which causes her to laugh at me.

"Leave me alone" I mumble into the cover. She tries to pull it off my face and proceeds to lean in again, placing as many little kisses as possible, all over my face.

"Lexa.. stop..."I say in between giggles. "You are such a dork.. Get off" I say pretending I want her to stop, when really I love how cute she is right now.

"Fine I'll stop but only because I have to go" She sits up in the bed and I quickly reach out to stop her leaving my side.

"And where exactly do you think you are going?" I playfully ask her, pulling her back down into me so that her head is in my lap.

"I need to go to practice baby, then I need to prepare for the amazing date that I am going to be taking you on later." My face lights up, another thing I still can;t believe. Lexa is taking me on a date!

"Fine I'll let you go, this once." I tell her, leaning down to kiss her forehead.

"Lexa.." I say softly and she looks deep into my eyes. "You make me feel safe, you know that right?" She smiles gently at me and leans up slighty so that I can bend down and kiss her lips as her head lies on my thighs.

"I promise I'll never let anything happen to you ever again Clarke" She sits up and wraps her arms tighlty around me, just like she did last night when I was in such a bad state. She lowers her arms down mine and rubs my arms, looking at my scars.

I begin to feel self concious but then she lifts my arm up and begins kissing as many as the scars as she possibly can.

"Remember what I said Clarke, you're beautiful and if you ever think about hurting yourself, try and talk to me first baby. I will always be here, even at the other end of a phone" She places one last kiss near my wrist before placing her forehead against mine gently.

"I haven't done it for a while, because I'm too busy thinking about how happy you actually make me and it stops me thinking about the bad things that happened in the past.
