Alex held Maggie close to her for a long time, before making themselves more comfortable on the couch. The DEO agent put the TV on one of the cop shows she knew Maggie secretly liked. Maggie hadn't said anything since apologizing. Alex knew Maggie didn't like to talk about herself and about the things she felt or thought. She was a very closed-off person, although she supported Alex no matter what. Maggie had been her rock since she started questioning her sexuality and all the way through their relationship. Alex loves Maggie very deeply, although they had not yet expressed these words toward each other. Maggie was absolutely the sweetest and most kind person she knew. Okay Kara, her younger sister, was as sweet and kind as it can get as well. But Maggie was so supported of all the people and aliens who meant well, always sticking up for the ones without a voice. Alex absolutely loved that about her girlfriend, one of the many things she adored about her girlfriend!
"Do you want to talk about it honey?" Alex asked when she felt Maggie finally relax against her body. Maggie was resting with her head on Alex's shoulder, one arm lying against her stomach. Although Maggie was paying attention toward the TV, she was thinking about what happened these last few days and all their conversations leading up to this moment with Alex.
"Is it okay if we talk later?" Maggie asked, her voice sounding uncertain. Maggie looked up from her place on Alex shoulder, letting her girlfriend know that she would talk later. She trusted Alex, Maggie may even love Alex but there was a big difference between trusting someone and entrust things to them. Maggie felt different about Alex, she knew their relationship was something real. She wanted to make it last forever, she was ready for that kind of attachment! And she knew Alex was ready as well, they were the real thing! But there was so much Maggie had never told anyone… When things got too serious with her previous relationships, like her relationship with Emily, she did something stupid. The only intent behind her actions was to push away that person. People who got too close could hurt her, that had always been Maggie's first thought. So ruining everything good she ever knew and running away what was she did, and in the end it was what brought her to National City. But Maggie wanted, longed for more! She wanted more! And she wanted everything together with Alex, her girlfriend. Somehow Maggie needed to open up toward her, be honest… About everything! And Maggie would, she just needed a moment to order her thoughts.
"We can." Alex gently voiced, seeing the honest, but also uncertain look in Maggie's eyes. She figured Maggie would talk, when she was ready. Alex could wait a little longer, Maggie was worthy. Alex lovingly placed a tender kiss on Maggie's forehead, tucking away some loose hears behind her ear. Alex safely tucked Maggie body close to her own, figuring they both needed the close proximity of each other.
At the end of the show, Alex gently stroked Maggie's arm, silently asking her to look at her. Maggie hadn't said a word since asking Alex if they could talk later. It was a little after 11pm at the moment and although both women didn't need that much sleep Alex longed to hold her girlfriend close in bed. Alex never figured she would ever love sleeping with someone in her close proximity. She had never thought, before meeting Maggie, that she liked and even loved intimacy. She figured she wasn't built for it, but with Maggie she almost craved it. Alex loved being close to the other woman. Sharing the same space, the same bed just simply holding each other until they fell asleep. Almost nothing could top that feeling and god Alex loved making love to Maggie. Even when everything still felt so new to her, sharing that intimate act had never felt more right to her. Maggie was always so gentle and caring, giving Alex all the time she needed to get used to so many new and wonderful feelings. Although it was not the same, Alex wanted to give Maggie the same kindness. Rationally she knew cheating was bad, no matter what. But she figured there was more behind the story of simply Maggie cheating on Emily. The emotions Alex had witnessed not many hours ago and during the last few days, since bumping into the other woman was enough to know there was more history between the two women.
"You're ready to go to bed?" Alex asked, looking into Maggie's bleary gaze. Maggie was in a whole different world it seems.
"Hmmm…" The other woman murmured. Inside Maggie was kind of panicking, she wasn't yet ready to talk. She wanted to be honest, but she had no idea where to start. Should she tell Alex about her home, how she grew up or just more about Emily and why she cheated? Maggie silently followed Alex toward the bathroom, both women brushed their teeth and changed into their nightwear. Maggie was taking her time, trying to prolong the moment when she needed to start talking. But Alex knew her better than she thought…
"You don't have to talk right now Mag. I want us to talk more honestly, but at your terms. I'm not going to push you into telling me something you're not ready for. I just want you to know that I'm here, I can listen and I want you to trust me." Alex softly spoke, while embracing Maggie from behind. Alex dropped her head on Maggie's shoulder and placed both arms around her small waist, her front closely pressed against her girlfriends back.
"Thank you…" Maggie answered. Alex could hear the tears in Maggie's voice, which almost broke her heart. What was really going on in that beautiful mind of hers? Alex thought. Maggie turned in Alex's arms so that both women were looking into each other's eyes.
"I do trust you Alex." Maggie started nervously. "And I will tell you the truth, I promise. But not tonight please." Maggie almost pleaded, a lonely tear escaping her eyes. Why was this so hard, Maggie thought. She had the most supported and amazing girlfriend and yet talking about her past and her thoughts and feelings was so hard.
Alex lovingly kissed away the tear on Maggie's cheeks, before kissing her lightly on the lips. Afterward she rested her forehead against Maggie's.
"Okay… We've got time honey. Let's get into bed now, he?" Alex put into words calmly.
"Hmmm…" Maggie responded.
Alex never broke contact completely when making their way toward the bed, always touching Maggie in one way or another. When both women where under the protection of their covers, Maggie placed her head right above Alex her left breast, trying to gather her thoughts and feelings when hearing and feeling the steady heartbeat of her girlfriend. Alex stayed on her back and protectively placed an arm around Maggie's waist, guessing she needed the contact. The agent didn't mind the weight of her girlfriend almost completely on her, she actually loved it. It made her feel calm and safe.
"Thank you for giving me time." Maggie whispered, her hot breath on Alex's skin.
"You don't have to thank me Maggie. Try to get some sleep babe, tomorrow there's a whole new day." Alex told her, kissing the top of Maggie's head before closing her eyes.
"Okay… Sleep well." Maggie spoke, sleep already catching up on her. The last words Alex could hear where a quiet thank you, before Maggie drifted to sleep.
All the feedback it always welcome, as well as thoughts on how to continue the story.
