Hook(er) Up - A Clexa Fic

Chapter 18- Nervous pretty

A week into residency Clarke finally felt like she was staring to get into the gist of things. It definitely didn't help how tired she managed to feel everyday even though she wasn't even doing anything big- especially nothing compared to her first day. In fact she spent a surprisingly large amount of time just doing paperwork. But for some reason the business and stressful environment was enough to tire her on its own.

Perhaps the long hours played a role as well. She was used to working all day, but it was always a 50/50 between actual jobs and school. Now it just felt like her job was school.

Clarke waved goodbye to the desk attendant and finally headed out the building.

7:23 pm.

Her schedule was sure all over the place. Sometimes she would get out after 5 hours and other days she'd stay there for 11. At least she still had some afternoons to spend with Madi or go out with her friends.

She scrolled through her phone while waiting for the bus, looking through all her messages.

'Sigh'. Quite a few of them were just her hookups she had to quit. There was no way she would have the time for all of them anymore- especially now that she had an actual full-time job to worry about.

She went through them one by one, apologising that she couldn't make it, debating whether to just quit them all now. Perhaps it was better to wait a while for her paychecks to come in first.

For a moment she just stared at all the people she declined when it was already past the time they asked for anyways. Sometimes she wondered why they were even still interested in just getting blow jobs or getting fingered by her- as if she would ever do anything more; what kind of med student would risk STD's?

She shook her head. Whatever. Who was she to judge anyways. If they get dopamine from it, so be it. Besides, she couldn't deny that sometimes it just felt good. With some people. With someone.

By the time the bus arrived she reached the last unopened message.

Hey. Ik you've been busy but are you perhaps free tonight?
Sorry if I'm being pushy

She smiled softly reading the text. Perhaps she could do with one hookup to end the week.

After grabbing a quick meal, checking in with Madi and changing out of her sweaty clothes, she decided to head out towards a certain fancy apartment complex.

As she paced along the sidewalk she once again thought about cancelling all her hookups after tonight. Maybe it was time for a new start. This would be her last night.

Finally approaching the brunettes door, she leaned against the wall waiting for her to arrive, per usual.

"Hey... Erm you're early- as usual."

She looked up from her phone to meet the girls eyes. A smile formed on the edges of her lips. "Hey sexy"

Lexa shook her head to herself. "Sorry if I'm being a bother- again- I know you told me you've had a pretty tight schedule this week-"

She turned her whole body to face the girl. "You know, if you were bothering me I would've just said no."

Lexa fumbled with her keys for a bit, getting out the right one. "Well, yes- I mean you've just been really nice..." She finally opened the door, holding it open for Clarke.

"I haven't been nice. I just like coming here." She smiled.

...

Perhaps this wasn't the time to mention she planned on quitting.
