CLARKE POV
It's been a week since Lexa and I kissed at the Lake. We haven't told the deliquents yet since the two of us decided to go on our date first. It might be too overwhelming for us if the whole deliquents will know and we were still starting out as 2 people who are dating and not friends.

Today is Friday and Lexa agreed that I take her out for dinner. I can't take her out tomorrow because it will be my last game for the year before the break.

I am freaking out. Lexa and I live in the same house, the same room! It's hard to plan. But I still did it. I had a week long preparation trying to not let her notice.

Lexa: Come on tell me where are we going!

She's been bugging me all week to tell her how our date will go.

Me: We're going out tonight so chill. It will be a surprise. Just wear anything comfortable, nothing grand.

I see her groan and mumble words. I just laugh at how cute she is. How lucky am I to take her out on a date. And maybe call her mine?

(Date night)

It's 5pm. I told Lexa I will pick her up (even though we live in the same house). I went out the door, drove around the block to buy flowers and knocked at our door. In a few seconds, Lexa was standing in front of me with wide smile. I hand her the flowers and give her a peck on her cheeks.

Lexa was wearing a simple stripe shirt, black pants and shoes yet she looks so elegant. Her wavy brown hair matches with her forest green eyes. I stand there in awe. I on the other hand wore ripped pants, shoes and black tank top. I brought my leather jacket with me in case Lexa will get cold during our date.

Me: You look beautiful, princess

Lexa: As do you, commander.

I hold her hand and lead her to the car. I intertwine our fingers as i drive to our 1st destination. I planned 2 places to go to.

Lexa: So tell me, where are we going?

Me: Patience, princess. I have 2 places planned for the both of us.

I chuckle as she groans. In 5 minutes, I stopped at the side of the road.

Lexa: Uh, this is it?

I chuckle. I take the basket from the back of the car and hold Lexa's hand. I lead our way on top of the hill. I see Lexa look around smiling as I lay down the blanket for us to sit in and prepare the food.

Lexa: Oh my god, Clarke. This is beautiful. How did you find this place?

Me: Do you like it? I always come to this place whenever I like to think. I found it 3 yrs ago just when dad died. I ran til my legs brought me here.
