Not everyone, not you

Chapter 40 - Arriving

Lexa's POV

We leave for Polis in an hour, we just need to pack our bags and say goodbye, just like we did yesterday. As much as I hate leaving all the time, I like to take breaks from always having to listen to the ambassadors argue over things that aren't worth arguing about. I also want to meet the new Nightblood, she seems interesting and I hope she isn't going to try anything stupid that could get her killed.

"Are you ready to go, Heda?" one of my guards ask.

"Yes, I'll get Clarke." I respond.

I walk into the healers tent and I see Clarke talking to a patient, I walk up next to her and whisper in her ear.

"It's time to go."

She nods in response and says goodbye to the patient and we exit the tent. Before we get on our horses we kiss, since we can't exactly kiss while we're riding our horses. The ride was quiet like it usually is, which I enjoy because I really like to look around and admire the environment. We get to Polis an hour after the sun starts to set which is great timing because we would have to set up camp for the night.

Once we arrive in our room, Clarke immediately gets undressed and gets into bed. I get undressed after her and get into bed next to her.

"You're tired." I say.

"Very tired."

"But the horse did all the work."

"Yeah, but I spent the whole time awake admiring you admiring nature."

"Stop it Clarke."

"Stop what?"

"Being cute."

"I should ask you to stop being cute, but I like it when you're cute." she says as she kisses me.

"The Commander is not cute, Clarke."

"I think she is, now let's go to bed." she says.

I fall asleep quickly with Clarke in my arms.

I wake up the following morning and I notice that Clarke isn't in the bed. I turn over and I see her sitting on the couch. I smile when I notice she's been drawing me. I look back at her and I ask her a question.

"How's the most beautiful girl in the world doing?" I ask.

"I don't know, how are you?" she responds without looking up.

"I'm fine." I say as my voice cracks.

I didn't expect her to say that, but I like it when she compliments me, it makes me feel happy that someone thinks I'm beautiful. Little does she know, she's the beautiful one. Today we have a meeting with the ambassadors, Clarke will represent Skaikru, since Kane is busy with what's going in Arkadia. The meeting will just cover what happened while we were gone and had to deal with Bellamy. We both get dressed and we go eat and then we head to the throne room and wait for the ambassadors to show up.
