CLARKE POV
It's been two weeks since Lexa and I had that "unplanned" date at her office. This weekend, she asked if she could bring me to places for a date. Of course, I agreed. Over the past few months I have been here in LA, Lexa has nothing but nice to me. I know we were together before but she didn't try to lead me on or push herself to me. She treated me as a friend, as a family. She helped me cope up to this new world I'm facing. She made me realize that things could still happen if we want it and that there are still good things that will happen after a bad day.

Whenever I'm with her, I can't stop the butterflies in my stomach. She made me fall in love with her all over again. Yes, there I said it, I'm in love with Lexa, again. Or maybe I didn't stop loving her? I may have forgotten her in my mind but my heart never forgot about her.

Lexa's picking me up in an hour and I haven't prepared myself yet. I went to take a shower and change. She told me to wear anything comfortable. I let my hair fall down, black tank top, black pants and a leather jacket. I saw this in my closet so I decided, why not wear it.

I went out of my room and see Abby looking at me with wide eyes. I look at her confused. Then Marcus comes out from their room and looks at me too with wide eyes.

Me: Is there something wrong?

Abby blinked multiple times.

Abby: No, honey. It's just, it's you.

I chuckle.

Me: Of course, it's me. Who would it be?

Marcus: i think what your mom was trying to say is that you look like your old self. You always wear that leather jacket everyday.

I look at the jacket

Me: Oh. I should-

Abby: No, don't honey. It suits you. Where are you going?

Me: Oh, I'm going on a date.

Abby: Really? With who?

I look down and answer silently

Me: Lexa.

Abby and Marcus were practically jumping up and down. Until the doorbell rang. Meaning, Lexa is here.

Abby: Finally! Have fun, honey.

I shake my head and bid the goodbye. I open the door and see Lexa. I smile at her and give her a peck on the cheek. Lexa looks at me with wide eyes
