Lena pretended to concentrate as her mother and James droned on and on about what kind of flowers they should have at the wedding.
"Darling what do think?" James asked as he looked towards Lena who shot him a tight smile.
"Whatever you want is fine sweetheart," she said with fake enthusiasm.
"Lena pay attention," Lillian snapped as she slid a folder towards her.
Lena glared at her as she took it and pretended to go through it as she tuned them out once again.
"So I was thinking about maybe an orchestra instead of a DJ," Lillian said as she and James began talking excitedly.
"Excuse me," Lena said with a frown as she stormed out.
Lillian and James barely acknowledged her as they continued talking.
Lena tried not to cry as she walked towards the edge of the ship, she shivered as the cold wind whipped around her causing her hair to blow around her as she stepped over the railing and looked down into the dark water below.
Kara was walking around the ship as she thought about the woman at the bar and how beautiful she was, she found herself towards the end and as she turned around she saw the woman she couldn't get out of her head leaning over the side of the ship.
"Don't do it!" Kara called out as she took a step closer.
Lena jumped at the sudden voice as she looked over her shoulder and into a pair of concerned ocean blue eyes. "Don't try and talk me out of this," Lena warned as she leaned over further.
"Please don't, just take my hand," Kara pleaded as she held it out.
"Please just let me do this," Lena pleaded as tears fell from her eyes.
"I can't do that," Kara said as she walked closer and looked her in the eyes.
"Why? You don't even know me," Lena pleaded with her as she cried harder.
"I saw you at the bar," Kara told her. "And since then I haven't been able to get you out of my head," Kara admitted.
"Really?" Lena asked as she turned a little so she could face the blonde.
"You're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," Kara told her honestly.
Lena beamed, "I'm Lena Luthor," she said as she held out her hand making sure she still had a tight grip on the bar.
"Kara Danvers," Kara replied as she took it.
"Oh my God you're her!" Lena exclaimed as she continued to hold onto Kara's hand who felt so warm in her own.
"Who?" Kara asked confused as she looked down at their joined hands.
"I love your work," Lena said as she turned around slowly so she could face the blonde fully.
"You actually bought it?" Kara asked as she smiled at the woman who seemed really excited.
"It's beautiful," Lena told her.
"Well I'm glad someone thinks so," Kara said with a smile as she squeezed the hand that was still in her own.
"Yeah," Lena said shyly as she blushed and looked away.
"So can I pull you over?" Kara asked as she went to wrap her arms around Lena.
Lena was about to step over when she slipped, she screamed as she held onto Kara's hand for dear life.
"Hold on Lena, I've got you! I won't let go," Kara promised her as she held her hand tightly.
"Please don't let go," Lena pleaded as she locked eyes with Kara.
"I won't I promise, but you have to pull yourself up," Kara said as she struggled to hold on.
"I can't," Lena cried.
"Yes you can Lena, I believe in you," Kara promised her as she began to pull.
Lena gave her a determined look as she began to pull herself up; she wrapped her arms around Kara as they crashed into the deck.
"Are you okay?" Kara asked her as she placed her hand on her shoulder.
"I'm okay," Lena assured her as some deck hands appeared.
"Miss Luthor are you alright?" one of then asked as they ignored Kara and wrapped a blanket around the shivering green eyed woman.
"Lena darling!" James called as he raced towards his fiancée.
"I'm fine," Lena said as she continued to smile at Kara whose eyes never left hers.
"What the hell happened?" James asked as he stepped in front of her blocking her from Kara.
"I umm slipped," Lena lied as she stepped pass him to gesture towards Kara. "If it wasn't for Miss Danvers I would have fallen overboard."
"Right so she's a hero," James said as he glared at Kara like she was scum.
"Yes she is," Lena defended her as she smiled at Kara who blushed.
"My baby are you alright?" Lilian exclaimed as she ran towards Lena and hugged her tightly.
"I'm fine mother," Lena snapped as she rolled her eyes causing Kara to smile.
"What were you doing out here?" Lilian demanded as she looked towards Kara in her paint covered overalls. "And who is this?"
"This is Kara Danvers," Lena told her mother as she wrapped her arm around her. "She saved my life."
"Isn't she that artist you like?" Lilian asked in disgust as she looked Kara up and down.
"Yes she is mother, she's brilliant," Lena told her as she dropped her arm as James walked towards them.
"Well perhaps, she's not useless after all," James said snidely as he smirked at her.
"James!" Lena shouted as she looked towards Kara who seemed unfazed at his snide remark.
"See she doesn't care, she knows where she stands," James told his fiancé as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close.
"Perhaps a little something for the girl," one of the deckhands spoke up.
James glared at him as he pulled out his wallet and tossed a fifty at Kara's feet.
"Is that really all I'm worth?" Lena asked angrily, as she shot Kara a worried look.
"Hmm well if she can manage to clean herself up, perhaps she can join us for dinner tomorrow," James said as he and Lilian shared a laugh.
"I will be there," Kara said through gritted teeth.
Wonderful," James said as he led Lena away, she cast one sadder look in Kara's direction before disappearing inside.
Mike glared at her in disgust before following at his boss.
"What the hell were you doing out there Lena?" Lilian asked angrily as she slammed the door to their room.
"I needed some air," Lena said as she began to take off her jewelry.
"I don't want you around that artist anymore," Lilian warned her daughter as she began setting out her pjs.
"Save it mom," Lena warned as she did the same.
"I mean it Lena!" Lilian screamed causing her daughter to jump.
"I'm not a child anymore I can see who I wish," Lena told her.
"James is one of the most eligible bachelors in Metropolis, he will give us everything we could ever want," Lilian told her.
"I don't love him," Lena told her as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh darling do you think I loved your father," Lilian told her as she took off her earrings.
"No you just used him for his money," Lena shot back.
Lilian slapped her before speaking, "I will not let you ruin this for me."
Lena placed her hand over her burning cheek as she glared at her mother.
"Now go change and get some rest," Lilian told her as she dismissed her.
Lena cried herself to sleep that night, thoughts of Kara in her head.
