Stop and Smell the Roses: A Clexa AU (ON HOLD)

Back to Normal?

Wednesday, September 18, 2024

It was now a warm Wednesday morning and Clarke was lying in her bed with a frown on her face thinking about how bad things were between her and Lexa. Lexa hasn't spoken a word to her since the night of the competition and it would be a lie to say Clarke didn't feel some type of way, especially seeing Lexa and Costia together being all lovey-dovey. Costia has even been spending the night more now. Clarke got her phone off of the nightstand and stared at the screensaver on her phone which was a random picture she took of her and Lexa one day when they were walking back from class. Dammit, I miss her... Clarke thought to herself.

Clarke got up from the bed to get ready to head to class. She was kind and nervous about today because she and Lexa had practice today for their duet for the All-Star Dance Competition. So, they would have to talk to each other eventually right? Clarke rolled her eyes thinking about how weird practice was going to be later. Clarke chose to wear a one-shoulder casual loose short denim dress. She matched it with some light pink sandals and silver jewelry. Clarke grabbed her purse and dance bag and made her way to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. Clarke walked into the kitchen nervous about seeing Lexa.

Lexa was at the stove making her an omelet when she looked up and saw Clarke looking nervous as she entered the living room and made her way to the kitchen. Lexa hated how things were between them now. She missed cuddling with the blue-eyed girl, cooking for her, and eating with her, she just missed her.

Clarke glanced at Lexa for a second as she went to make her a bowl of cereal. She went and sat down across from Lexa and they both ate in an awkward silence. Lexa felt her heart rate speed up and she could tell her anxiety was starting to act up. She really couldn't take this awkwardness. So she got up and went to her room to eat the rest of the food. Lexa looked at the picture of her and Clarke she had in a frame on her desk.

"What happened to us?" Lexa whispered to the picture of Clarke kissing her on the cheek and Lexa smiling brightly.

Classes flew by for both of the girls and before they knew it they were in their last class of the day which they shared.
Lexa watched as Clarke walked in wearing a blue V-cut training bra and some matching spandex shorts. Lexa automatically went to her cleavage. Clarke saw Lexa looking at her breast and a raised eyebrow at Lexa and cleared her throat. Lexa blushed being caught but tried to keep a serious face.

"Mrs. Waters wants us to work on our duet for the competition on Friday," Lexa said avoiding Clarke's eyes.

"Hmmm okay," Clarke said nonchalantly.

Mrs. Waters gave Lexa the key to the practice room where she and Clarke went to practice. Lexa just stood there looking at Clarke.

Clarke stared back at Lexa before rolling her eyes, "Shall we get started, Your Majesty."

Lexa smacked her lips before going to start the music. She and Clarke started practicing but they were dancing so stiff and not in sync with each other. Lexa began to get aggravated and went to stop the music.

"Look Clarke I know we aren't on the best of terms right now but we shouldn't let it affect our dance. If anything I am a professional and I won't let our differences stop me from winning even if I have to find another duet partner... I'm sure Costia wouldn't mind," Lexa said glaring at Clarke.
