Chapter 2 an enlightening game night
Maggie and Alex pull up at Karas apartment laden with pizza, potstickers and ice-cream, although the servers never question the amount of food they have ordered they still get quizzical looks when leaving the building. As the elevator opens Kara's eager face is waiting, she takes 3 boxes of potstickers and before they can blink all are empty. "Dam Kara slow down we are only 30 minutes late you can't be that hungry" a small growl escapes her lips as she is now eating her way through a extra large pizza which is nearly gone. Sudden realisation hits Maggie and she stats to laugh "Miss Luther will be joining us tonight Alex, or is already here" Kara flashes red and Alex shifts uncomfortably realising that the promise to watch had just become very real.
Quickly taking some of the food and heading to the apartment Alex realises that an offer to help carry had been Kara's excuse to quickly eat. Opening another pizza Kara is entering her apartment very slowly chewing a slice. Laughter ensues as the other guests watch her entrance, Kara has a bemused expression on her face only to hear, "dam Luther you called it, she only went to help to get the food quicker, although that Piza not potstickers" Win had burst out laughing as the redness crept over Kara's face. Kara though no I had the potstickers first casually putting the 3 empty very super squashed boxes in the bin. Lena knew her better than she thought. Win and James were sat on the floor in the living room while Lena was perfectly poised and positioned on the couch, not looking completely relaxed still somewhat CEO although her clothes were a little less business like, tightly fitting skinny black jeans, only a 4 inch red stiletto almost a flat really, and a red silky shirt unbuttoned slightly, her hair pulled back from her face. Kara was surveying her friend her eyes lingering on the vision before her, she had made it to the opening of the shirt and up Lena's neck to her amazing jaw line and her lips, she realised that Lena Lips were curled into her trade mark smirk, her eyebrow hitched and her emerald eyes boring into Kara, which she had just noticed after realising she was staring.
"Are you going to stand there hungry, or come here and eat?" Lena had patted the couch next to her; she knew she was being a little flirtatious and that she had made a very lewd suggestion subtle it was not, Lena chastised herself she only let her flirtations get that bad when they were alone. She knew that it had not been that subtle as Kara had reddened further and looked away. Alex had watched as she said and couldn't deny that Lena Luther had just blatantly clocked Kara staring and not so subtly suggested a private meal. Alex stood slack jawed; Maggie's Raucous laughter had been the response. Alex looked back to Lena who had instantly morphed back into the steely faced CEO, how did she do that, drop a comment like that with that expression and then poof gone like nothing had happened. Hurrying over with the food all three girls joined the group and sat down, Alex on the chair with Maggie on her lap and Kara next to Lena.
They passed around the food and Lena watched as Kara devoured her 4 slice of pizza and leaned forward for the box of pot stickers. Kara looked adorable, although Lena wished that she was wearing something slightly more fitted, the letters to cleo t-shirt faded and warn was about a size to big and with the stretch Lena could just make out the muscular arms shoulders and side of Kara at full stretch, the grey sweats were however pulled tight across her finally toned ass which Lena couldn't help but admire. Realising they were not alone and she had slipped for the second time in a few moments Lena's eyes snapped away from Kara quickly surveying the room. It appeared no one had noticed her indiscretion, but wait was that a faint smirk on the face of detective Sawyer? Who was squeezing Alex arm, looking to Alex she could see a slight flush at the base of her neck. Lena began again to berate herself for her lapse in poise, she felt that someone was watching and feared they had indeed seen too much. Lena had made the decision this would be a short games night and she would remain CEO board room stoic for the rest of it.
After chatting eating and consuming a few bears the normal banter around the choice of games was thrown around. Lena watched in amusement as they are argued for different games. As if sensing her amusement Kara's attention shifted to Lena, she had somehow moved a little closer on the couch leaving only a small gap between them. Her earnest blue eyes boring into the pools of emerald they were now searching. Kara had placed a hand on Lena's knee which has sent a current running up her thigh ending somewhere Lena was not willing to think about right now. "I'm sorry Lena, you must think these games are all a bit childish and silly. We have some more intellectually stimulating games in the other room if you would prefer." There was a genuine look of concern on Kara's face that was literally melting Lena heart. Noting the hand on Lena's knee and the look in her eye Alex knew she had lost another 20 dollars to Maggie and was going to be eating some disgusting food for dinner tomorrow. Her shoulders slumped a little and she looked at Maggie in defeat, Maggie just Chuckeled. Winn who was actually a genius in his own right although he did try to down play this, snorted "Childish, its Pictionary, articulate and speech breaker, not spin the bottle or suck and blow" the words had come out at such a rush in Winns normal awkward social moment way, which elicited a chuckle from all except Kara and Lena, who appeared to be a little frozen at that moment. Kara blushed a little quickly withdrew her hand and said "I just meant we had trivial pursuit and other general knowledge games too" Kara's eyes flashed back to Lena, she has that devilish look on her face and Kara knew that this would only mean more blushing for her.
"well obviously I have heard of spin the bottle, never played of course but what on earth is suck and blow" Lena was wearing a honestly confused face as everyone started laughing at her including Kara, Lena's expression had been less devilish and more intrigued Kara had realised, and the laughter was having a effect on Lena Kara had not expected, she was blushing, actually blushing. "well fuck, Little Luther if there isn't a flush to your face there, who knew that your face could produce suck a pretty shade of pink" Maggie's jibe was playful with no malice, and the nickname held no disgust, Kara had instantly analysed it and realised Maggie was actually being affectionate. Wrapping her arms around Lena and slightly hiding the embarrassed face of Lena, and the extreme happiness on her own that the interaction had caused, Kara said with such glee "Your first Sawyer Nickname, welcome to the Family Little Luther"
Lena's instant reaction was to tense at the use of her Sir name, especially followed by a crushing hug from Kara, she obviously forgot she was every so strong, because she had winded Lena in the exchange. The embrace all be it a little painful was still exquisite and was unfortunately over to soon, Lena had composed herself a little and sat up a little, "so is anyone going to enlighten me as to this game?" with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on her face, the confidence grown from acceptance Lena allowed herself to be a little playful. The whole room descended into Laughter including Lena, following a brief fumbled explanation of the game by Kara, which had turned her there darkest shade of red she had been all night.
The game had been something that most teenagers played at parties, Kara had been at one and it was the second time a kiss resulted in a broken nose. The boy had intentionally stopped sucking on the card so it would fall as Kara had tried to retrieve it. This action had resulted in the collision with Kara's nose and broken his, a story that Alex was now sharing with the entire group, causing more laughter and a deeper shade to develop on Kara's cheeks. Lena thought to herself that the boy had the right idea; she would quite like to give suck and blow a go if it meant the chance to kiss Kara. The laughter died down and the group settled in for story night instead of games, Lena had at some point kicked off her shoes and popped up her feet Kara had snuggled a little closer on the couch and now her her arm casually draped over her shoulder, she felt comfortable and her mask dropped a little further. Winn and James headed out no doubt to see if guardian could be of any use Lena thought, yes it was obvious that James Olsen was guardian and seeing them leave together only solidified the thought to Lena that he had help. Strangely even though there had been that odd moment earlier of feeling watched, she was now so comfortable that as the 4 chatted she casually reached for a blanked and snuggled Kara closer, she didn't need the blanket with the heat radiating off her friend, but she wanted to hide her hand stroking her friend back, she was comfortable but she was still a Luther.
A little while later they were all leaving Kara's Lena hated to leave such a comfortable warm apartment, and well who was she kidding she didn't want to leave Kara, but it was getting late. Lena slipped into her town car after exchanging a brief pleasantries with the driver and was gone, leaving Alex and Maggie walking to the car. "You know Maggie, when that mask slips a little and she thinks no one is watching Lena, is actually very soft and I think she is in love with my little sister" a little louder than she intended it Maggie snorted, "about fucking time Danvers, where u been this past 6 months, and you're a special agent, sheesh the bar is set low" the smile on Maggie's face and the way she was looking at Alex was actually full of compassion although Maggie struggled giving a warm sentiment without a harsh tone, Alex knew what she was saying and how much she cared. After a playful punch to the shoulder Alex said "I hate it when you're right" handed over the 20 Dollers and grimaced when enquiring about tomorrow's dinner.
