Always and Forever

Chapter 45: Opportunities

LEXA POV
I wake up earlier than Clarke today. I went to make some breakfast when I heard the mail. I went to get it and left it on the coffee table. I was cooking some eggs when i hear Clarke come down.

Clarke: Morning, princess. Whatchu makin'?

Me: Some eggs and toast.

Clarke: smells good babe. Why are you up early anyways? We can sleep all summer you know.

I chuckle as Clarke sits on the counter and place a kiss on my forehead

Me: i know. I just got used to waking up early so i decided to cook breakfast for the people who welcomed me to their home.

Clarke: Aww, you don't have to baby. You are family. Always.

Me: And you are mine. Forever.

I lean in to Clarke and hug her. We separate when we hear Abby and Marcus clear their throats.

Abby: You two are cute but no making out in my kitchen

Clarke and I just looks at each trying to stop our laugh. I serve the eggs and toast and we all eat. After eating, the four of us made our way to the living room to watch a movie. It's Abby's day off and Marcus didn't go to work to bond with us.

While we were watching, Marcus noticed the pile of mail on the table so he grabbed it and read it.

Marcus: Hey Clarke, you have two letters here. It's from Oxford University and Ecole de Commerce à Paris

I look at Clarke and her eyes widen

Abby: You applied to England and France?

Clarke: Oh my god. I didn't know I'll hear from them. I applied last summer and they never responded.

Clarke quickly took the letter and she was smiling widely.

Clarke: Oh my god!! They offered me a full scholarship. Ecole offers me stiphen too.

Clarke was so excited hearing from the two schools.

Me: I didn't know you applied there.

Clarke: I forgot all about it. I sent them my application last summer. There were no email about them recieving it so I thought it didn't go through.

I see how happy Clarke is.

Me: I'm happy for you babe.

Abby: Aww, sweetie, congrats!

Marcus: Guess we'll have a french girl with us now, eh?

Clarke: Maybe. Haha

The three of them continued talking about the great offers from Paris. I stood up and went my way to the bedroom.

CLARKE POV
Oh my god! I got in Oxford and Ecole. They are the best schools in England and France. I never thought I'd get in. I was so excited until I notice Lexa walking away.

Abby: I think the two of you need to talk.

Marcus: We'll take our stuff and we'll go in a hotel for tonight. Talk it out. You'll have the place to yourselves. We're just a call away.

Me: Thanks. I never thought about me and Lexa doing long distance. Will she understand if I decide to go?

Abby: talk to each other, sweetheart. Before you tell your friends.
