Chapter 2
Kara/Supergirl's P.O.V.
Miss Grant arrives right on time and I make sure her latte is hot for when she exits her private elevator at CatCo. She looks stunning, as usual. Gosh I wish I could tell her that without sounding like a perv. Focus Kara, focus. Oh no, she just said something. Office. I think she just said something about her office. Oh yeah, duh. We almost always have a meeting to go over her schedule in her office first thing in the morning.
** After the meeting. **
Well that went well. I genuinely did forget that Miss Grant wanted to have lunch with Supergirl tomorrow. Being that I am Supergirl, I don't really need to ask James to contact her from me because, well, that would be silly, but Miss Grant doesn't know that. Honestly, I had hoped she had forgotten about the lunch, too. For some crazy reason she still believes that I'm Supergirl, I even had Hank impersonate me as Supergirl and we both went into her office at the same time. The look on her face was priceless!
I was convinced that threw her off, but I'm not so sure now. She still tries to catch me in a lie or sees if I'll use my super speed to catch something if she drops it. She almost got me one time when I thought she was dropping an expensive vase! It took all I had to restrain myself. Man she can be sneaky. Hahaha
I'm so worried that if she does figure out that I'm Supergirl, this "normal life" I've built will cease to exist. I wish I knew what she was up to. Also I don't like having to drag James into this drama but hey, he is CatCo's only employee with a "direct line" to Supergirl after all.
"James? Hi, um, am I interrupting you?"
"Hi Kara. No. I was just finishing. What's up? You're acting funny."
I stare at the floor, unable yet to meet his gaze.
"Miss Grant wanted me to set up a lunch with Supergirl tomorrow and I, um, forgot to ask you if you could get a hold of Supergirl for me?"
James looks amused.
"Are you asking me or telling me?"
"Both?"
He chuckles.
"Ah, okay. What would you like for me to do?"
My brain overloads.
"I don't know. I would say to tell her you tried but she's too busy, but then again I don't want you to lie, but then again if you do say she's available then how am I going to explain where I'm going to be at lunch time because I usually eat at my desk, but then why would she care if I wasn't there, but then again…"
"Kara! Slow down. Take a breath."
I blink at him, unaware I'm babbling.
"What? Oh. Thanks."
He smiles.
"You're welcome. Now, does Supergirl want to have lunch with Miss Grant tomorrow?"
"No. Yes. I don't know. Why does she want to have lunch with me, I mean Supergirl? Don't you think it's kinda weird?"
"I guess she wants to check-in with you, I mean Supergirl, see how you're doing. I suppose lunch just seems like an innocent incentive to lure you here. Didn't she say?"
The wheels in my brain start churning.
"She didn't specify. Do you think, maybe, you could find out what her intentions are without asking?"
James smirks.
"Kara, what do you think her intentions could possible be? Wait? Do you think she has some kind of ulterior motive?"
I slowly start hyperventilating.
"Oh my God! What if she figured it out? What if she knows I'm Supergirl and wants me to show up as Supergirl to expose! Oh my God, James! What am I'm going to do?"
James grips me by the shoulders almost as if he wants to shake the crazy out of me.
"Whoa, Kara! You're getting way ahead of yourself! I was only going to tease that maybe Miss Grant has a crush on you, well, Supergirl."
I feel myself starting to blush profusely. I cannot even look him in the eyes. Oh man, is it getting hot in here?
"What? Crush? On...me? Pshsaw! No way! Never. That's really funny James. Hahaha. No. Do you think? Wait. Is she even gay? Oh my goodness. She is, isn't she? How did I not know that? Does she think I am? Or Supergirl is? We are? Why aren't you speaking?"
James belly laughs.
"You crack me up."
