Chapter 1:Him
Everyone was distracted, their eyes either on the TV or their phones. I sighed "What if I tell you a story kids?" I asked. No one moved or reacted, like I wasn't even there. Then I hear my brother saying "Yes, yes great idea! Get up everyone, come on!"
They all got up, clearly annoyed, and sat around me. I tried to smile "Great I…"
I had no stories! They all raised their eyebrows and rolled their eyes. This generation is so annoying and gets annoyed really easily. I cleared my throat "Yeah, I'm-I'm gonna tell you this story about this incredible woman…her name was…Kara. Kara Danvers…"
She was walking on the street holding Miss Grant's coffee and salad, walking her dog Queen -before you ask of course the dog's name is queen it's Miss Grant- She was already so late and running like a crazy woman, that was when her phone rang. It was Miss Grant "Miss Grant I'm so so sorry, my alarm-"
"Kira," the voice on the other side interrupted "I don't care. You know Mike Mathews?"
"The-"
"Wait, is her name Kira or Kara?" one of the kids asked.
"It's Kira to Miss Grant and Kara to everyone else."
"But does Miss Grant have a problem in hearing?"
"No, no she doesn't-"
"But then why-"
"Anyways…"
"The handsomest and richest man in America? Yeah."
"Great. He's coming here today, and no one in this company knows or cares about fashion, but right now you all should because I won't let you ruin this thing. And you have nothing fashionable in your wardrobe, so I bought you a dress. So hurry!"
Kara stood shocked with wide eyes, then she suddenly continued running as fast as she could. She was gonna meet MIKE MATHEWS! And getting fired was not something on her bucket list…
It was a miracle that she arrived a few minutes later without spilling coffee all over her clothes. She ran to Miss Grant's office who was sitting putting more makeup than a bride on her wedding day "Finally. Go take off this...thing that you're wearing and put this dress on." She handed her a short sleeved blue dress with a black belt, it wasn't as bad as she imagined. After a few minutes, she got out feeling a little different, she wasn't looking in front of her so she pumped into a tall and muscular person, which made all the papers in her hand fall on the floor. They both got down to pick them up "I'm so so sorry, I wasn't looking in front of me and-"
She stopped when she saw the person in front of her. It was Mike Mathews with his famous charming smile and grey-blue eyes. Her eyes widened. She opened her mouth but nothing came out, after a few seconds she finally was able to speak 'Mr. Ma-Mathews, I'm so so sorry I-"
After he saw how much terrified she was he quickly reassured her "No it's okay, umm…"
Kara was so shocked and embarrassed. She was on the floor with Mike Mathews. MIKE MATHEWS. And now she's sitting with wide eyes and her mouth opened not realizing what's happening. When she finally understood what he wanted she blushed, and starting giggling nervously "Oh…gosh…uhh Ka-Kara."
He smiled at her. Oh god his smile was as charming as everyone said. "Kara." he extended his hand to shake hers "It suits you. I'm Mike, Mike Mathews."
She smiled and nodded "I know. I-"
She was interrupted by Miss Grant's really loud yelling coming from her office-she clearly didn't know that he was here- "KIIIIIRRAAAA!"
Kara's eyes widened and she quickly picked all the papers and ran to Miss Grant's office, leaving Mike on the ground. He quickly got up and ran to catch her.
"Yes Miss Grant!"
"Hurry! He's close, do I have something in my teeth?"
"Uhh n-"
"Miss Grant." Mike's voice came from the back.
"Oh gosh that's embarrassing." Chloe said laughing.
"It is! Imagine if that happened to you once." I said.
So Julia joined the conversation "Well it happened to me once. I was in 7th grade and this boy was-"
"Back to the story…"
Kara looked at Miss Grant, her eyes widened, and she couldn't let any words out. Kara stared at her, waiting for her to say something, but when she didn't, so she turned around to look at Mike, she slowly walked his way. When she was close, she put her hand on his back, turned him around and walked him outside the office.
"Sorry about that Mr. Mathews-"
He interrupted her "Call me Mike." he said with a smile.
She smiled back at him "Okay, sorry about that Mike. But, you may enter now."
When they reentered the office, they found Miss Grant sitting behind her desk. She looked up and smiled "Oh hey Mike, what a surprise." she said like nothing ever happened.
Mike was trying very hard not to laugh "It's good to finally meet you Miss Grant."
"Like wise, and please, call me Cat. Have you had your tour or not yet?"
"No, not yet. I'm waiting for someone like you to show me the whole place. After all, no one is smarter and more beautiful than you are."
This whole flirting was making Kara really uncomfortable.
Cat laughed "Yeah, you're right about that. Let's go."
"I really like Miss Grant!" Chyler said.
"Yeah cause you're exactly like her Chy."
"I'm no- you know what? Thank you, I'm flattered." She said which made me chuckle.
When she got up Mike was already out of the office so she took Kara's hand and whispered "He's even cuter than I thought he would be! He's so cute. And hot. Isn't he?"
Kara cleared her throat and nodded in agreement "Yeah-yeah he is."
Then they heard Mike's voice from the outside "Miss Grant, are you coming?"
She fixed her dress and walked out "Yes, yes I'm here. And I told you to call me Cat."
Kara looked at them walking away. Why was she feeling like that? Jealousy? Why is she jealous? Yeah he's cute and all but she met him ten minutes ago. She knows nothing about him other than he is hot and rich. And he likes to flirt a lot apparently. He's not even her type! Wait, did she have a type? Doesn't matter… she shouldn't be feeling these things, especially since she had a date with Jimmy -James whatever- in a couple of days. She finally told him how she felt and he told her he was feeling the same way. This is what she wanted for a year! And then she meets this man and talk to him a couple of –really awkward- words and she feels like that. 'No Kara concentrate.' She thought.
She felt these voices in her head "Kara, Kara, Kara…"
"This sounds like something that happens in horror movies." Jeremy, my 15 year old nephew said.
"Okay not that kind of voices."
"Is there different kinds of voices? Wow that's even scarier."
"That's not what I mea- never mind…"
"Kara!" She came back to reality after hearing James's voice "Kara, are you okay? I've been saying your name for the last two minutes."
She shook her head and laughed "Yeah, yeah I was just thinking about something..."
He frowned "You-you're not having second thoughts about our date, are you?"
"What? No, no of course not."
"Okay good, well then see you tonight." he said before walking away, but Kara's voice stopped him "To-tonight?"
He raised his eyebrows and slowly said "Our date? Tonight? 8 pm?"
She raised her eyebrows and laughed "Oh yeah, pfft, yeah-yeah sure. See ya. Tonight."
James frowned and slowly came closer "Kara are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah, I told you I am."
"But are you sure? Cause you're acting differently."
"YES.I told you I'm fine. I need to go now, see ya." she said before walking away awkwardly.
"Is it weird that I ship Kara and Mike?" Katie asked.
"No it's not. I ship them too." Mehcad said which made me smile.
It's 6:30 and Kara still hasn't decided what to wear. She changed at least 10 times and finally decided to wear a simple pink dress, that was when the door bell rang. She opened it to find James with a grin on his face "Hey." he said.
"Hey, come on in. So, what are we gonna do?" she asked with a smile. "I thought maybe we can go bowling, then we can go and eat somewhere cause you know I'm always hungry, and then we can come back here and do something." she said innocently.
He got closer to her "Or, we can just skip all of that and just…"
Okay, I can't tell them this part but…
The next thing she knows, his lips were on hers, kissing her with passion. He held her close and they walked to the couch, still kissing. She then saw images in her head. Images of him kissing her. No. She was kissing James, she shouldn't be thinking about kissing him. James then moved his lips to her neck. She opened her eyes with a frown. She couldn't stop thinking about kissing Mike! She was on the bed with him kissing her and fucking her hard.
"No, no I can't do this." She said with a low voice, but he kept kissing her.
She then pushed him slightly "I can't" she shook her head "I-I can't do this."
"Ka-"
"No James, I can't. You have to leave, now, please."
"Kara-"
"Please! Just- just go."
James walked out slowly, clearly so confused. And he has the right to be. 'Oh no, what did I just do?' she thought.
And why was she imagining herself having sex with MIKE while she was going to have sex with James?! He is her…boyfriend. Something's wrong. She saw him for ten minutes today and she felt jealousy when she saw him with Miss Grant and now this?! What's happening to her?
The next morning she walked into CatCo, so tired. She saw James walking so she ran after him "Hey, hey James." He didn't respond. So she held his arm "James please…"
He turned around, clearly angry and upset. She sighed "I'm so so sorry about what happened last night-"
"Yeah what happened last night? What was that Kara?"
"I- I just was upset about something."
He raised his eyebrow "Really? You didn't seem upset when you made all those plans. So tell me Kara, what happened to you? And I want the truth."
"I-" she couldn't say anything, because she didn't know what happened last night.
He sighed "Are-are you a-a virgin?" he asked with a low voice.
"Are you a version? What?" Melissa asked confused.
"No no a virgin."
She just stared at me "You're not helping your argument."
"A virgin. Like Jane the virgin." Jane said.
"Ohhh, well you could've said that from the beginning."
Her eyes widened at that. She was a virgin but that wasn't what happened. She wasn't scared, she was thinking about doing 'it' with him. But she couldn't tell him that.
"Yeah…" she whispered. She wasn't lying, she was a virgin.
"That's it? You weren't ready? Kara you should have told me."
"I-I wasn't ready…"
"Okay, well that doesn't matter now. Come here." he said before giving her a peck on the lips.
"Oh hey Kara." His voice said from behind. Wait, he still remembers her name?
She turned around and faked a smile "Hey, Mike… how are you?"
"I'm okay. I'm really enjoying my time here. You?"
"I'm okay too, just a little tired…"
They stared at each other for a second before James cleared his throat.
"Oh sorry, James this is-"
"Mike Mathews" he continued. Everyone knew who he is.
"Right, Mike, this is James… my boyfriend."
Mike raised his eyebrows on that and shook James's hand "Nice to meet you. You and I are gonna have so much fun."
