30 Days Fiancé

Chapter 7: Proposal

"No problem dearies. Use all the space and time you need. I'll bring out the desserts when you're done."

Mrs. Beaty walks away as Clarke explained their plans to use the bakery as their proposal spot. Lexa had already bent down on one knee, getting herself ready for her proposal. Clarke and Lexa hadn't said two words to each other since the car incident that happened half an hour ago, and Raven was growing more annoyed about the silent treatment they were giving each other. Clarke gets ready in her position, standing there uncomfortably. She wanted to apologize for almost causing them to be in an accident because of the fact that she was staring at the beautiful brunette whom she almost gave her the scare of her life. But Lexa completely avoid her and refused to make eye contact with her, making inevitably harder to pull off a good proposal at this point.

"You two dipshits ready?"

"Yeah..." Clarke says disappointingly, Lexa turning to look up at Clarke with curious eyes.

Lexa noticed that Clarke wasn't in the mood as she was before their little issue in the car. She was angry to say the least. But then again, she shouldn't have shouted at Clarke for no reason. Clarke doesn't know about her heart condition and the only thing prolonging her life now were the meds she took to keep her heart from racing faster than it should. Even though her regular workouts were enough to keep her from facing a heart attack and dying, as what the doctors claimed, she was still in the danger zone of dying. That morning, she had gone to the doctors without Anya, and she found out that she had only two months left to live if she didn't get a heart transplant. Which gave her enough time to pull through this crazy ride before leaving her with a couple of weeks left to just die peacefully at home after handing over the required documents to Anya.

Clarke saw Lexa staring, but she realized that Lexa was in a world of her own. She wanted to know what it is that makes the brunette's mood change from time to time. Was it that this woman had been through such a heart breaking moment in life of losing someone she loved that this woman was emotionally unstable? Clarke wanted to know. Wanted to apologize for earlier. She was then reminded about the day before when she spoke to Mrs. Beaty, now that they were back in the store. Not to fall in love with her. But she believed that everyone deserved a chance at love. And Lexa does too. So Clarke decides there and then, to talk to Lexa while the other three were still setting up.

"Lexa..."

"Hmmmm?" Lexa wasn't paying attention, but she was responding, her eyes still unmoving since earlier.

"I want... to apologise for earlier. Almost... uhhh... getting us into an accident. I wasn't paying attention."

"Forgiven." Was the short reply that she got.

"Are you still mad at me?"

Lexa sighs, closing her eyes and breathing slowly before opening her eyes again and looking into ocean blue eyes. "I'm not mad Clarke. Just... make sure to watch the road next time okay? Can't have me meeting your parents with a busted up fiancé and immediately being thrashed by them for getting you hurt."

Clarke was stunned. The small caring smile that breached Lexa's lips, was the first time that that she's seen the genuine smile on the gorgeous brunette. And was she joking with her? Why the sudden change of heart?

"Am I dreaming? Because this is a first the great Alexandria Woods is joking with me for the first time." Clarke smirks, making Lexa laugh.

"I guess maybe I was being too harsh earlier and I should be the one apologising. Need that pretty smile of yours for the camera too you know." Clarke was stunned again. No way was Lexa indirectly flirting with her.
