Love Is Not Weakness (Clexa oneshots)

Now or Never.

[Clarke's POV]

I've been working at H&M for about a year now. It's great, I guess. Earning minimum wage to pass the time. But things have gotten a little more interesting lately. A couple of weeks ago we had gotten another new employee named Lexa. She is so gorgeous, sometimes I get distracted and just completely blank out when I see her. To be honest though, I didn't notice her until she randomly came up behind my shoulder and yelled out, "Ou, Clarke has a boyfriend!" Firstly, I'm gay, not that she knows that. And secondly, I was texting Bellamy. Like ew, no. He's like my brother.

From then on, we started talking, but mostly teasing each other like no tomorrow. This happened pretty recently, but I feel like we've been doing this forever. And at the same time, I think I'm starting to fall for her.
A few hours into my shift, I see Lexa walk into the store. Usually I start work before she does. Every time she comes in she would vaguely greet everyone, but she would never go into the break room without greeting me. She's so cute, cause when she does greet me, her voice gets a little more high pitched. Ugh, the butterflies!

So a few more hours pass by and it's time for my break. So I go upstairs into an empty break room, grab my phone, sit down and start texting Octavia. That's usually how I spend my break. Pretty laid back I can say.
Some time passes by, and Octavia and I get into a heated conversation about some guy she met. His name is Lincoln. To be honest, when I first saw him, I could see why Octavia liked him so much, we was pretty well fit, and cute, coming from a gay girl. I would also tell her about Lexa, going on and on about her, but then, urgh, thumb cramps! It gets worse seeing as I injured my wrist too. I sprained my wrist a couple nights ago, I don't really know how to be honest, because I had been drinking. As I look down at the injured wrist, I notice that my bandages had come loose at some point and need to be rewrapped.

I knew I had to tend to them before I had to go back out on the floor, or else it will just fall off. That's happened a couple of times.
The time is ticking away, and I'm already late getting back. Shit. As I continue to struggle with these damn bandages, Lexa walks in.
"Hey what happened to you?"

"Uhm I got into a little accident."

"Need a little help? I practiced during health class." She says as she flips her long brown hair. "I'm like practically an expert at this."

"Yes please, I was suppose to be down like 5 minutes ago."

She sits down beside me and untangles the bandages I attempted to wrap.
She places one of the ends on my hand, I could feel her fingertips gently touching my wrist, which sends shivers down my spine. I smile a bit.

She looks up and asks, "What?"

"Nothing." And we both smile.

Around and around I feel the bandages go on my wrist. I didn't realize she had finished until she looks up at me, not realizing that I had been staring at her the whole time. I look into her bright green eyes and think, Wow her eyes are even more beautiful up close.

"Uh, Clarke. I'm done." I snap out of my daze as Lexa begins to wave her hand in front of me, trying to get my attention.

"Huh? What?"

"I'm done."

"Oh. Thanks a lot Lexa." I just sit there smiling.

"Aren't you suppose to be going down now?"

"Oh right! Oops! I guess I'll see you on the floor. Don't want Anya to get mad at me."

"See ya!" She waves and gives me a great big smile.

Urgh! Her smile too! Clarke snap out of it! Compose yourself! I just smile and nod.

I run downstairs and immediately start working, hoping Anya won't notice that I went over my time limit.
