The next day when Clarke picked Lexa for school, Lexa came out with a gold paper crown that had Clarke's name in blue marker and drawings of balloons all over it.

"Aden made this for you," Lexa said handing it to Clarke.

"Awww, I'm gonna wear it all day."

"And I'm the embarrassing one."

"What? Aden made me this, it's adorable." Clarke said putting the crown on.

Lexa rolled her eyes and took a picture so she could show Aden later.

When Clarke parked in their usual spot, she leaned in to kiss Lexa but was pushed away.

"No kiss unless you take that off."

"What?"

"You heard me."

"But it's my birthday."

"Doesn't matter."

"Fine," Clarke said shrugging her shoulders as she started her car, "no kiss."

Clarke looked over to see Lexa hiding a smile as her mouth was wide open, pretending to be shocked. She gave the brunette a kiss on the cheek then drove, holding her hand as she did.

The rest of the day consisted of Clarke saying stuff to make Lexa blush, Jasper and Monty counting how many times she blushed, then occasional glances that were a little too long, and at one point during lunch, Clarke wrapped her pinky around Lexa's under the table so no one saw.

"Oh don't forget," Lexa said as Clarke drove up to the brunette's house, "if you text me and I don't answer it's because I'm driving Callie back to the airport. And have fun with your mum today."

Clarke nodded her head, "I will, bye Lexa."

"Bye." Lexa looked around to see if she could her family, when she couldn't see anyone she put her hand on Clarke's cheek and pulled her in for a quick peck on the lips, "Happy birthday Clarke."

After Lexa drove Callie to the airport she got a text from Clarke.

hey so my mom has to go to work

awww i'm sorry

it's fine

but do you maybe wanna come over

you could like sleepover and we could just go to the party together

yeah ill be over soon

Lexa got all her stuff and rode her skateboard over to Clarke's house. When she knocked on the door, a woman opened the door.

"Oh hello! You must me Lexa, it's so nice to meet you, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Abby, Clarke's mother." Clarke's mother said bringing Lexa in for a hug.

"Hi, Mrs. Griffin. It's nice to meet you too."

"No, please call me Abby. And I see why Clarke is very fond of your accent it's beautiful."

"Oh thank you." Lexa replied.

"Well, I have to go. I'm so sorry I can't stay and get to know you, but I should have been at the hospital 30 minutes ago. Please help yourself to anything in the fridge and Clarke is in her room."

"Okay, thank you so much Mrs. Gri- I mean Abby."

"Of course. Hopefully, I get a chance to see you before you guys leave for the party so I can get to know you."

"Yeah, I would love that."

"Great. Well, you two have fun, bye." Clarke's mom said as she walked out of the house.

Lexa went upstairs and found the blonde sitting on her floor painting what looked like a naked women's body while singing along to a song Lexa never heard before.

But fuck it, here's my confession

I'm kinda hooked on you

And in the mood for an obsession, yeah

You might be someone I could love

Or you're just somebody I fucked once...

Lexa stood there with a big smile on her face, listening to Clarke sing.

"Have I ever said how much I love your singing?" Lexa asked once the song was over scaring the blonde.

"God, you almost gave a heart attack stalker."

"What song was that?"

"Somebody I fucked once by Zolita."

"I like it."

"Me too."

Clarke put the song back on so Lexa could hear it and went back to her painting.

"I'm almost done so you can just do whatever." Clarke said.

Lexa curled up in the dark green papasan chair in the corner of the room and wrapped herself in the blanket she got Clarke then pulled a book out of her book bag to read.
