Chapter Text
Great.
This is exactly what Clarke needed, for her laptop to get a virus when she needed to write an essay for her class that was due in a few hours. To be honest it wasn't even her fault..... ok so maybe it was. She probably shouldn't have been on her laptop looking up whatever weird shit she was after she got drunk last night with Raven and Octavia. And to make things even worse today was Sunday and all the tech stores plus the libraries we're closed. Clarke was doomed and she knew it. Clarke scrambled for her phone and dialed Octavia's number.
'Hello?' Octavia croaked probably having just woken up.
'Hey O, um listen so after you and Raven left last night I uh may or may not have went on my laptop and searched weird shit online and now I may or may not have a virus? So would you like happen to know any tech majors or something?'
'Jesus christ Griffin, you woke me up from the amazing dream I was having cause you couldn't keep your freaky ass thoughts to yourself?'
'Yeah I did, but seriously O do you know anyone?' Clarke desperately pleaded.
'Ugh um.... Yeah I do know someone. Her name's Lexa, she's not a tech major but she knows her way with computers. I'll text you her number.'
'Thanks O, I owe you!'
'Fuck yeah you do.' Octavia mumbled before hanging up. Several minutes later Clarke received a text with Lexa's number.
Small Blake: xxx-xxx-xxx here ya go dipshit
Clarke grinned at her oh so loving friend's text. The blonde typed the number in her contact list and sent a message.
unknown number: uh hi u don't know me but i'm friends with Octavia and she said u know ur way with computers?
The reply came a few minutes later.
tech chick: Yes I do. Why do you ask?
unknown number: um ok so theres this virus on my computer and i was wondering if you could help me out? i can like pay u or whatever
tech chick: I'm free till 6pm. When would you like me to take a look at it?
unknown number: how about at the ark café in 40 minutes?
tech chick: I'll be there.
unknown number: ok great, thank u so much! btw my name's Clarke just so u know
Clarke set her phone down on her bed and skipped over to her bathroom to take a shower. When she was done she strode over to her closet and took out a plain white t-shirt, a red flannel and denim jeans. After Clarke applied a light amount of makeup she gathered her laptop bag, keys and left.
-----
(At the café)
Clarke arrived 10 minutes early so she decided to order a coffee and something to eat. She started to make small talk with her friend Monty who worked there to keep busy.
Clarke looked down at her father's watch. Lexa should arrive at any moment now.
The bells on the café door went off and brunette walked in and Clarke swear she saw stars. The brunnette was absolutely stunning. Her hair was in a braid that must have at least taken an hour to braid. She was wearing a short sleeved white button up with little anchors spread across the whole shirt, skinny black jeans and black vans. Clarke prayed to the queer gods hoping that was Lexa. And sure enough the brunette strode to where Clarke was sitting and stook her hand out.
'Hi, I'm Lexa. Are you Clarke?' Lexa asked not sure if she got the right person.
Clarke stood up and took Lexa's hand in her own.
God her hands were so soft I wonder what they would feel like tou- Get it together Griffin! You only just met her and you're already thinking about having sex with her.
Clarke cleared her voice trying to regain her thoughts.
'Uh yeah that's me. Listen I really appreciate you helping me out. You're really saving my ass here and to be honest I don't even know why you agreed to helping me out, I mean you don't even know who I am and I should really stop talking now cause I'm rambling.......'
Lexa grinned; 'It's nothing Clarke.'
The brunette went to go sit down across from Clarke in the booth. After some seconds of awkward silence Lexa cleared her throat.
'I'm going to go order coffee. Could you get your computer started while I do?' Lexa asked.
Clarke nodded and proceded to unzip her laptop bag while Lexa walked over to the counter.Lexa paid for her coffee and walked back to where Clarke sat but this time choosing to sit next to the blonde.
'May I?' Lexa asked gesturing to the computer.
'Oh yeah of course.'
Lexa took the laptop, placed it in front of her opening a web browser and files and started clicking away. Clarke got distracted and stopped paying attention to the screen and fixated on Lexa herself, still not over at how hot Lexa was. The blonde let her eyes roam over Lexa's godly toned biceps over to her neck then following her incredibly sexy jawline up to her plump lips. Clarke came back to her senses when Lexa coughed realizing that she had been staring so the blonde took her phone and texted Octavia.
Lowkey mama bear: i love u but i also hate u at the same time.
Little Blake: mind telling me y?
Lowkey mama bear: U DIDNT TELL ME THAT LEXA WAS HOT AF? I swear i almost passed out at how hot she is. Did i mention how hot she is?
Little Blake: god u already sound whipped.
Clarke looked up from her screen to see where Lexa was at with her laptop and froze when she saw that the brunette was looking through her browser history.
'Fuck. I- uh- shit- I can explain.'
'I'm very curious as to how you're going to explain...' Lexa looked at the screen before continuing; 'do ducks have penises?' the brunette looked at her with a quirked eyebrow and a smirk on her face.
'Oh god did I really look that up? Um well long story short, I got drunk with friends last night and when they left for some reason drunk me searched weird shit up online. I don't even remeber why I looked up half of the things I did.' Clarke quickly explained.
'That's pretty anti-climatic Clarke.' Lexa teased.
'Well what did you expect?' Clarke asked curious as to see what the brunette would say.
'To be honest, I was thinking that you had a fetish for male duck genitalia. Because you then proceded to look up pictures.... and videos. Of ducks having intercourse' Lexa said with a straight face before she started to laugh.
Oh no even her laugh is sexy. I could listen to that laugh all day. I'm so fucked.
'Yeah no, definitely not.' Clarke said shaking her head smiling.
They both stared at each other for a bit too long to still be considered 'friendly' before they looked away, both blushing. Clarke watched Lexa delete her browser history
'Thanks.'
'No problem.' Lexa said winking at Clarke before she continued doing whatever it is she was doing. If Clarke wasn't blushing enough before she sure as hell was now.
A few minutes passed and Clarke was getting tired of the silence and Octavia wasn't replying to her texts. She knew she should've taken her sketch pad, she was itching to draw the beautiful stranger that was sitting next to her fixing her laptop.
'Why are you helping me?' Clarke asked abruptly.
'Excuse me?'
'You have no idea who I am but you still agreed to helping me out. Why?'
'I owed Octavia a favor and she asked me to help you out.... plus you offered to pay me and I could use the cash.' Lexa explained.
'Oh.' Clarke said feeling disappointed for some reason.
'Plus you're cute so that's also a bonus.' Lexa said having noticed Clarke's face sadden. At that the blonde bit her lip and blushed suddenly finding the table very interesting.
Another 15 minutes passed by and Lexa finally stopped typing and clicking. She closed the laptop, clasped her hands and turned to look at Clarke.
'Your laptop is officially virus free.' Lexa said with a smile.
'Seriously? Oh my god Lexa thank you! You're amazing.' Clarke lunged forward attacking Lexa in a hug. The brunette was about to return the hug before Clarke came to her senses of what she just did pulled back quickly.
'Oh shit sorry Lexa I got a bit too excited.' Clarke apologized tucking a blonde strand behind her ear.
'It's nothing. I'm glad you're happy.' Lexa said waving her off. They stared at one another for a few seconds before Clarke snapped her fingers.
'Right! I still need to pay you.'
Lexa put her hands over Clarke stopping her from opening her laptop bag to get her wallet.
'Clarke it's fine you don't have to pay me.'
'But you said you needed the money.'
'I do, but then again don't all college students? I can't take your money for this.' Lexa said trying to reassure Clarke.
'Then at least let me take you out for dinner. Or a drink, or I don't know whatever you want.' Clarke quickly said before she could talk herself out of it.
'Are you asking me out on a date, Clarke?' Lexa asked teasingly
'Depends. Are you going to say yes?'
Lexa waited a few seconds before answering; 'I'd love to.'
