You're Not Alone

Chapter 50

Lexa's POV

I woke up with Clarke fast asleep by my side. She was snoring quietly and it was the cutest thing. I carefully turned around to grab my phone from the night stand and went to bathroom. I washed my face and went downstairs.

7:40

Others won't be up until 10 am for sure. I have plenty of time to make breakfast and check my phone.

1 missed call from Anya. I hope she's not worried. I decided to call her hoping she's not sleeping.

„Lexa?"
„Anya. Hey. Im just calling back."
„Yeah I just wanted to know if you arrived safely."
„Yeah I did."
„Did you have fun?"
„Believe me. It's been only 2 days and so much stuff has happened."
„Should I be worried?"
„No." I chuckled.
„Oh shoot. I gotta go Aden started crying."
„Is he alright?" I immediately got worried.
„He's fine he's just got a fever."
„I hope he'll be okay soon. Tell him I said hi."
„I will. Have fun!"
„Thanks. You too." I hung up.

I walked back upstairs to our room to change where I found Clarke all over the bed.
Is this how she sleeps every time after I leave? I smiled.

My eyes found the first grey sweatpants I had and my black hoodie. I changed in the bathroom. When I entered the room again Clarke was still fast asleep and I had no intention of waking her up.

8:20. What the hell am I supposed to do until everyone wakes up? It's too early to make breakfast but I don't want to wake them up.

I made myself comfortable on the couch and turned on the TV. There were news playing. They were showing the small town Lincoln and Bell went to the other day. There was a Christmas market. And it's supposed to be there for a few more days. We can go there in the afternoon. Or we can stay there and count.

My phone vibrated next to me on my couch after a while.

New message from...Costia? What does she want?

Costia: hey i know i messed up but i still care about you and i just want to wish you merry christmas and happy new year💜

Should I respond?

Lexa: yeah happy new year to you too

That was all I could say.

„Who are you texting?" I heard a quiet sleepy voice behind me I knew so well.
„Anya." I immediately turned of my screen and put my phone down. I turned my head around and faced Clarke with smile on my face to not make anything awkward or obvious.

„What's the time?" She asked my while rubbing her eyes.
„9 am." She groaned.

„When did you get up?" Another question from my girlfriend who was pouring som milk into a bowl with cereal.
„Around 7 am."
„You could've woke me up." She walked over to the couch with the bowl and sat down next to me.
„I didn't want to. It looked like you enjoyed your sleep." I chuckled.
„I did but I was cold after you left."
„Aww Im sorry."

„Did you have breakfast?" She looked at me.
„Not yet."
She showed me her spoon full of cereal. I opened my mouth and Clarke put the spoon in my mouth. Then she kissed my cheek.
„Thanks." I smiled.
