“Baabbee..”
“Baaaabbbbbbeee…”
Clarke inched her closer towards Lexa’s sleeping form and whispered even louder, “Baaaaaabbbeeee…”
Lexa moaned slightly annoyed at Clarke’s perky demeanor, eyes still closed and intent on holding tight to the drifting embrace of sleep.
Clarke giggled giddily at Lexa’s response, and snuggled closer, “Guess what?”
Lexa’s face contorted into an insincere scowl, but gave into the question with a groaning, “Whaaaat?”
Clarke closed in swiftly and planted a firm kiss on Lexa’s cheek as she pounced onto her still hibernating body encasing Lexa in a tangle of limbs and blankets, all the while exclaiming,
“Good Morning!!!!”
Lexa gave out a surprised oomf, but soon accompanied the onomatopoeia with a round of contagious giggles that soon found its way to Clarke’s throat as well.
“Oh, now you’re asking for it!” Lexa quickly switched positions as she wrestled Clarke under her. Staring deeply into the blonde’s deep blue eyes she dipped in to kiss her gently. For the moment Clarke melted into the kiss. Caught off guard, she failed to notice a pair of stealthy hands snake up her thigh until it reached her midsection, only to barage her with a torrent of tickles. A playful smirk blossomed across Lexa’s face as she watched her prey erupt into a fit of giggles as the blonde writhed under the attack.
“Hey that’s not fair!” She complained between breaths, “You’re a cheater!”
Unphased by the accusation Lexa replied smugly,
“That’s what you get for disturbing my beauty sleep.”
She sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed. The proud brunette stood up quickly, yawning audibly as she reached for the ceiling. Refusing to surrender so easily, Clarke reached out and forcefully snagged her girlfriend’s hand to pull her back down onto the bed before she could even take a step towards the bathroom. Clarke broke her fall, and pinned Lexa down, clasping the surprised brunette tight to her chest.
“Think I’d give up so easily?” She whispered at a low octave, complete with a playful wink and a light kiss on Lexa’s cheek.
“Oh ha ha ha. Fine, princess, you win this time. Now c’mon we have stuff to do.” Lexa said with an eye roll and smile.
Clarke nestled her face into Lexa’s wavy thick locks, “Noooooooo, can’t we just roll around a little while longer?”
Lexa adjusted her position to fit better against Clarke’s form, “Noooooo, we can’t do that, I have work to do today and don’t you have a meeting with the other council members at company headquarters today?”
Clarke stuck her bottom lip out in a kindergarten-esque pout, “Yeah, but I’m sure I can just get my mom to fill me in later, after all they’re big kids- they can take care of themselves.” The unrelenting lover increased her grip on Lexa’s squirming body.
Lexa rolled her eyes yet second time. “C’mon Clarke don’t be childish.” Clarke only responded with a flurry of kisses spanning from Lexa’s jawline, eventually finding their way to her lips. Stubbornly, Lexa fought the urge to giggle at the light pecks dancing across her face and neck. She refused to give in to Clarke’s shenanigans further. Yet, she felt so at home nestled warmly in her arms, Lexa couldn’t help but let an inkling of a smile escape her lips.
Their little moment was suddenly interrupted by a vibration on their nightstand.
“Ugh, well speak of the devil. That’s probably my mom.” Clarke groaned as her attention diverted away from Lexa and onto the ringing phone. She reached over Lexa to snag the phone and clicked it open.
“Hello?..Oh hey mom,” Clarke scratched the back of her head and stretched. “No, ummmm I just got up. Yeah, yeah...okay…” She gently moved Lexa off of her chest as she got up from the bed.
“Yeah, Lexa just got up too..no she won’t be at the meeting, she’s got stuff to do…”
Clarke made her way to the bathroom as she continued her conversation with her anxious mother. Lexa propped her head up with her hand and crooked arm as she observed the conversation.
Clarke’s mother, Abigail, cared a great deal about her daughter, and Lexa respected that. Although there is always a bit of awkward tension whenever she and Clarke meet up with her, Abigail is content with knowing that Clarke is happy and, if anything, at leasts “tolerates” her ominous girlfriend, who happens to also be the head of their rival company. Though Lexa can sense Abigail’s leery eye watching protectively over her daughter’s safety and well-being bearing close scrutiny on Lexa’s every move, the young CEO tries her best to be as understanding and polite as possible.
Before Clarke’s form disappeared through the bathroom door, she whimsically tossed her hair over her shoulders to gaze back at Lexa’s seductive pose and blew a playful air-kiss, which Lexa returned by catching the invisible kiss and placed it onto her cheek. Clarke smiled grandly at the gesture, almost forgetting she was still on the phone with her mother.
“No mom, Lexa will not be at the meeting today... she has other things to take care of…don’t worry about it...”
Her conversation was muffled as the door shut behind her and then soon drowned out by the sound of rushing water from the shower head.
Lexa let out another yawn and stretched herself out across the bed before finally committing to begin the laborious chores that this new day will bring. The brunette smiled to herself as she let out a satisfied sigh, today was going to be long day. So much has happened between them in the past couple of months, and to see the progress that they've made together- it only made Lexa's heart grow with warmth. Despite everything, at least it started out wonderfully.
