i can do this all day

“Of course, beautiful!” Lexa smirked, closing the door and making her way to the driver’s seat. She grabbed Clarke’s hand, brought their joint hands over to sit on her thigh and headed out of the driveway. “Trust me, it’ll be totally worth it when we get there.” She winked. She never, ever wanted to let go. As they made their way to Lexa’s secret getaway, the brunette couldn’t help but look over at Clarke from time to time, wondering how in the hell she had gotten so incredibly lucky. “If you need to stop at all, just let me know, okay?” She said to Clarke, multiple meanings able to be drawn from what she said.

Lexa smiled widely and grabbed her last minute things, slinging her backpack on her shoulder and grabbing for Clark’s bag as well as her own. She was a gentlewoman, if nothing else. “I’mready too. Let’s do this.” Lexa nodded, heading down the stairs, grabbing her keys off the table as she made her way to the door. When they got outside, Lexa unlocked the car and opened the passenger side for Clarke, before putting their bags in the trunk and making her way to the driver’s side. Once settled, phone synced with the car for music, Lexa put the car in drive and let her free hand rest on Clarke’s thigh. “ETA is an hour and a half. Should be smooth sailing, babe!”

Lexa zipped up her suitcase once she had put the last minute stuff in there, before taking off her sleep top to exchange it for a tank top and a hoodie. As she pulled the hoodie over her head, she heard the voice from the doorway and turned quickly, smiling widely at the girl. “You’re prettier.” Lexa flirted, walking over to her, putting her hands on her hips, and pulling her close. “Seriously. The prettiest.” She nodded, leaning down to kiss Clarke gently but deeply for a few moments, tucking a stray hair behind the blonde’s ear as she pulled away, needing air. “We’re also going to be PRETTY behind if we don’t head out soon.” Lexa winked, smacking Clarke’s hip playfully before grabbing her suitcase and backpack off her bed.

Lexa smiled widely, then shook her head. “Never. That’s why we compliment each other, cause I always wait until the last minute for things.” She shrugged, then handed Clarke her tea and sat down with a cup of coffee to eat her own pancakes. “I’m glad you enjoyed, babe. We’ll finish up and head out. I can’t wait to show you my secret hide out.” Lexa wiggled her eyes playfully, jumping off the chair and kissing Clarke’s cheek before running up the stairs. “Move it or lose it, beautiful!”

Clarke kissed Lexa back happily, keeping her arms around the girls neck until she started to walk back towards the stove. She groaned in appreciation at the type of pancake and hopped onto the counter to watch Lexa. “We’re already home so” she teased, sticking her tongue out before nodding. “I packed everything last night, I just need to grab a few things before we leave and I’ll be good to go. Is there anything you think I need to take aside from the obvious? Beach towels? Chairs? Umbrellas? Blankets?” She paused her rambling before pointing to the kettle. “Tea would be great, thanks Lex.”

Clarke hadn’t been on a vacation since her dad had passed. The last time the went she had such a good time, and now it was hard for her to even leave the house. But then Lexa came along. Lexa who made Clarke feel safe enough to ride in a car for two hours, Lexa who was going to take her on a trip, Lexa, who changed a lot of things and Clarke wouldn’t want to change that. When she woke up the morning of the trip she woke with a grin, before cocking her head to the side at hearing some noise downstairs. Knowing exactly who it was, she fixed her hair slightly and brushed her teeth before throwing on a sweatshirt and making her way down the stairs.

The night before Clarke had spent packing and Lexa was in her own room for the night, and even though she lives with her, Clarke couldn’t help the beaming grin at seeing Lexa cooking in their kitchen. She sniffed and couldn’t help but let the groan leave her lips. “Pancakes, Lex? Are you trying to spoil me?” 

To say that Lexa was excited about her trip for the weekend with Clarke would be an understatement. They had been talking about this trip for a bit now, and the closer it got, the more anxious-excited the brunette became. She was taking her to a place that she had never taken before, but she felt like she wanted to share it with Clarke.

Clarke rolled her eyes and shook her head, sticking her tongue out playfully at Lexa. “Maybe your the one that’s delusional. Things would make more sense that way.” She grinned as Lexa snuggled closer to her, having no idea the girl was this touchy feely, but she likes it. For a while there she felt like maybe she was touch starved. But now Lexa almost had a hand on her, touching her somehow. Gasping, she pulled her hand up to her chest. “Are… are you calling me pasty, Woods?!”

Clarke grinned at the kiss to her cheek before conceding and nodding her head. “You’re right, I suppose it is.” She raised an eyebrow at Lexa, “I mean it’s true. You’re very pretty and you have dashingly good looks” she teased, “and early, after all of that you’re still going to tell me where we’re going? Softie.” But really, she couldn’t wait and she was pretty excited for it. Two and a half hours was long, but it could be worse and she did trust Lexa. She softened and kissed Lexa’s cheek, “I’m excited to go, then babe..”

Clarke pouted when Lexa wouldn’t tell her where they were going. She hated surprises, but she trusted Lexa so she would just deal with it and she nodded her head. “Fine,fine. But it better be worth my time.” And she knew it would be, she just wanted to give Lexa a hard time. Scoffing, she shook her head. ““Okay they so did not work on me. It was more your dashingly good looks and beautiful heart and hot shot personality.”

Biting her lips Clarke nodded her head before shrugging. “You make it easier, being in a car.” Since Lexa knew exactly what to say and do to get her mind off thinking of the accident. For the most part she does okay, she’s just anxious and tense, but she trusts Lexa. “Where will we go?” And it did sound like a lot of fun, to just get away for a while, just the two of them. Her cheeks flushed again and she shook her head with a laugh, unable to keep it in. ““Lexa! That was so bad. I think you need some better pick up lines.”

The face Lexa gave her made Clarke blush once again, and she honestly wasn’t even sure if that would ever stop. Having a girl like Lexa, having Lexa Woods, tell her those things made her hard for her not to blush, but it also made her believe it a little more as well. She grinned into the kiss pressed against her lips and leaned back against the headboard. Her eyes lit up at the idea of a road trip and she nodded her head rapidly. “That sounds great! I’d really like that. We haven’t been anywhere since my dad..but it sounds like a lot of fun!”

“It is not a lie, babe! I don’t know how you don’t see what I see. Honestly. I look at you and I’m just….” Lexa didn’t finish, instead just making a face at Clarke to explain how much she amazed her. Lexa finished chewing the slice of pizza she had, then leaned over and kissed the spot right under Clarke’s ear. “To us being girlfriends for as long as you don’t get tired of me.” Lexa smirked, kissing down her jaw to her lips, before grabbing another slice of pizza. “Hey so…I had this idea. And if you’re not game for it, I won’t be mad. But…how do you feel about a road trip…with me? Not this weekend, I know we have our date, but maybe towards the end of the month?” She questioned, having just thought about this the other day.

Clarke cocked her head to the side like a puppy, and knew she needed to stop doing that she she furrowed her eyebrows. She did understand where Lexa was coming from…they were both scared, really. They had lost so much and even though they have their differences they’ve helped each other a lot. To lose that would suck. She grinned at the blush on Lexa’s cheeks and she leaned over, pressing a sloppy kiss to the cheek closest to her. “You’re cute…and sweet. So yeah I do understand where you’re coming from..and honestly if we don’t work out..this way? I’ll always be here for you Lex. Even if we aren’t dating or girlfriends. I’ll always be your friend. And we can still do this! Just without the kissing” she laughed. 

“Sounds good” Clark mumbles around the bite of pizza in her mouth. When it came to shows like this she probably wouldn’t watch much of it anyways, not really her thing. But if Lexa likes it she won’t complain. She cocked her head to the side, then nodded now understanding. “Why would that be lame, Lex? I mean…maybe it’s alittle early. We just started dating but.. right now, with me? You don’t have to do it alone, okay?”

Clarke just grinned at Lexa and gently set the pizza box on the bed, handing Lexa many napkins and a water before sitting back on the bed, right next to the other girl. “Did you find something on Netflix? I looked earlier but wasn’t imterested” she shrugged, taking the slice offered to her with a quiet thanks. She shook her head. “No.. but if it does I’ve been lame my whole life, so..”

Clarke heard Lexa call behind her and she rolled her eyes fondly shaking her head. It wasn’t often they did that, she hated getting crumbs in her bed, but Lexa seemed tired, and so was she. Plus pizza may be greasy but it isn’t that messy. She grabbed the pizza, handing over the money her mother kept for ordering in and closed and locked the door before heading to the kitchen. She balanced some napkins and waters on the box before making her way upstairs and back to her room. “If you make a mess you clean it up, got it?”
