You're Not Alone

Chapter 40

Clarke's POV

It was december. There was snowing outside for the first time this year. I woke up with a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist. Lexa's head was burried in my neck and one of her hands was on my stomach under my shirt.
Feeling of her warm hands on my skin gave me butterflies. She was snoring quietly, something I've never noticed before.

I didn't want to wake her up after her health state yesterday. I managed to carefully slip through her arms and sneak out of the room.

Shower was the first thing I needed this morning. It was quite dark outside because of the snow and winter weather and I needed to wake up not only physicaly but mentaly too.
Warm water was streaming down my body but I liked warmth of Lexa's hands more.

After I was done I entered my room again to get some fresh clean clothes.

„Good morning." Lexa yawned and looked at me from under the covers with sleepy eyes.
„Morning babe." I smiled and took out new shirt from my closet.
„I missed you in bed." She said with her raspy voice I loved so much.
„I didn't want to wake you up." I put on my shirt and jumped on the bed beside her. Lexa shifted and looked at me from above.
„You could. I wouldn't mind." She smiled and gave me slow passionate kiss.
„Are you hungry?" I asked after she pulled away.
„Mhm." She nodded and wrapped her arms around me again as she placed her head on my stomach.
„Lexa let me go. You said you're hungry." I tried to push her arms off of me with chuckled. She just mummbled something and pulled me closer.
„Okay then. Let's starve."
„Just a few more minutes babe." She whinded and gave a small kiss on my stomach. It sent shivers down my spine. I liked that feeling.

„You got your time. Now get your ass up." I pushed her off me a bit stronger than I wanted to that she fell off bed with shock of unexpected landing.
„Fuck!" She groaned in pain. I covered my mouth with my hands as I remembered she had hurt ribs.
„Oh my god babe! Are you okay? Im so sorry!" I jumped off the bed and kneeled down beside her. She was pressing her hands against the left side of her ribcase.
„It's fine. Im good." She closed her eyes and let out few deep breaths.
„You just gotta be more careful." She sat up with pain going through her body.
„Im so so sorry."
„Luckily I landed on these pillows." She tapped one pillow and smiled.
„Yeah but it hurted anyways."
„It did but Im fine. Can you help me?" She extended her hand for me to pull her up.
„Thanks." She said with a sigh when she was on her feet.

„What do you want to eat?" Lexa asked me when we were downstairs in the kitchen looking through shelfs and cupboards for some food.
„Literally anything." I said ad she grabbed a pan and smiled at me.
„Eggs and bacon?"
„Mhm." I kissed her cheek and sat on a kitchen counter to watch her cook.

She was perfect. Snowflakes from outside were reflecting in her green eyes and her curls, which she nervously tried to tuck behind her ears , were falling on her shoulders and in her face. I could see her abs under the fabric of a white T-shirt. Everything about her was more than perfect in that moment.

„You're staring." She smirked not taking eyes off a pan.
„There is so much to stare at." Smile appeared on my face thinking of that she's mine.
She just smiled back and continued her work.

I started kicking my legs in the air while I was on my phone and waited for Lexa to finish breakfast.
„Hmm. Smells good." I looked at the pan as she was cooking the bacon.
„And it will taste even better." Lexa quickly kissed my nose.
„I'll prepare plates." I jumped off the kitchen counter and took out plates from the cupboard above me.

„Here you go." Lexa walked up to me with pan in her hand and served the bacon with eggs on the both plates. After that she put the pan in the sink and added some vegetables on our plates.
„Thanks babe." I kissed her lightly and started eating.
It was so good. She really needs to teach me how to cook because Im hopeless.
