Kara held Lena's hand tightly as she led her downstairs to were loud music was coming from a live band set up.
"This is incredible," Lena commented as she and Kara made their way through the crowd.
"Isn't it though?" Kara asked as she handed her a drink.
Lena smiled as she took a long gulp, "what you think rich girls can't drink? She asked when she saw the look of surprise on Kara's face.
Kara just laughed as she took her hand and led her to a table in the back where Alex and Maggie were. "Alex, Maggie this is Lena."
Hi," Lena said as she gave them a small wave.
"Hey," they both slurred.
"You're already drunk?" Kara asked her sister as she rolled her eyes.
"You were late," Alex snapped.
"I told you I was having dinner with Lena," Kara snapped back.
"Should we leave?" Maggie asked as she attempted to get up.
"No," the sisters both said at the same time.
Lena and Maggie exchanged a look before laughing, causing the sisters to join in as well.
"OH I love this song let's dance!" Alex yelled as she took Maggie's hand and dragged her to the dance floor.
"Care to dance?" Kara asked as she looked towards the dance floor with a smile.
Lena beamed, "I would love nothing more."
Kara smiled as she took her hand and led her to the dance floor, the two women moved in sync to the upbeat pop song the band was playing the mood suddenly shifted when they played a slow song. Lena and Kara locked eyes as they smiled shyly at each other. Lena wrapped her arms around Kara as she laid her head on her shoulder as they swayed to the music. Kara's heart beat wildly in her chest as she held her close.
"I'm having a great time," Lena whispered as the song ended and the band left the stage.
"You are really?" Kara asked.
Lena beamed as she kissed Kara's cheek, "the most fun I've had in a while."
"I'm glad," Kara told her as she took the offered drinks from her sister and Maggie.
"We are going swimming, wanna join?" Alex asked as she flung her arm over her sister's shoulder.
Kara looked towards Lena who nodded, "sure we will meet you there."
"Don't be late," Alex said as she bopped Kara's nose before walking off.
"I won't," Kara said annoyed as she turned to a laughing Lena. "Need to borrow a suit?"
The two women held hands as they made their way to the pool were Maggie and Alex was laughing.
KARA! Alex yelled at her sister.
"Okay your cut off," Kara scolded her as she took her drink.
"Thank you," Maggie told her as she tried not to smile at Alex's pout.
Kara stepped into the cold water, as she held out her hand for Lena to take as she helped her inside.
Lena smiled as she cuddled close to Kara who wrapped her arm around her as she handed her a drink.
"So the guy was drunk off his ass and kept trying to grab mine the entire time I was trying to throw him out," Maggie told the group as they all laughed.
"It's hard to picture you as a cop," Alex said as she took a swig of her water.
"America's finest," Maggie assured her with a salute.
"What do you do?" Lena asked Alex as she laid her head on Kara's shoulder.
"I'm an emt," Alex told her.
"Oh really? That's pretty cool," Lena said as she finished off her drink before setting it aside.
"It has its moments," Alex mumbled.
"Oh come on you must have some good stories," Maggie told her as she poked her side.
"Tell them about Bradley," Kara said with a smirk causing Alex to scowl at her.
"Tell us," Lena and Maggie both said.
"Ugh I hate you," Alex told Kara as she began to tell them, "he was this homeless guy that used to call for paramedics all the time, he developed a crush on me and one day when I got distracted he peed on me so I could smell like him all day," Alex snapped as she glared at her sister.
Maggie and Lena burst out laughing as Alex stormed off.
"Oh come on!" Kara called as Maggie followed.
"Looks like it's just us," Lena told Kara as she turned towards her.
Kara was nervous at the intense look in Lena's green eyes as she smiled at her gently.
"Thank you for inviting me out here tonight," Lena told her as she stepped out of the pool to dry herself off.
"No problem," Kara said as she followed suit.
"I don't really have any friends," Lena told her sadly as she sunk down into one of the pool chairs.
"I'm sorry," Kara offered as she sat next to her.
"My mom expects me to be perfect all the time and to just marry James, she doesn't care how miserable I am," Lena said as if she were talking to herself.
"Do you love him?" Kara asked sadly.
Lena turned towards her with tears in her eyes, "no."
"Then don't do it," Kara told her as she took her hands.
"I have too," Lena cried out.
"Why? Because your mom told you you have to?" Kara asked angrily.
"You couldn't possibly understand," Lena told her as tears fell from her eyes.
"Try me," Kara told her.
"When I was little I was an only child, my parents spoiled me to know end, I was happy, then my dad died and things changed. My mother got cold, and distant, our money quickly dried up, she would work all kinds of jobs, but nothing ever stuck. So when I started working for James Olsen when I was nineteen and he showed some interest my mother insisted I show some back. She wanted me to pursue him back, because," Lena stopped as tears fell from her eyes.
"Because what?" Kara asked as she gently wiped then away.
"She found out I was gay," Lena whispered looking around to make sure no one was listening.
"Oh I see," Kara said.
"I know what it must look like to other poor little rich girl has to marry a rich older guy, but it's not like that," Lena tried to tell Kara.
"I get it I do," Kara assured her as she wiped away the remaining tears.
"Thank God," Lena breathed against her lips.
Kara cupped her cheeks as she looked deep into the trouble green eyes of Lena, "you're so beautiful.
Lena blushed as she looked away.
"Look at me please," Kara begged as she tried to lock eyes again.
Lena finally looked up into concerned blue eyes, "I wish we were anywhere but here," Lena told her truthfully.
Kara smiled as she went in to kiss Lena just as their lips were about to touch Lena backed away.
"I'm sorry I can't," she said as she grabbed her stuff and fled leaving Kara alone.
She ran right pass Mike who slid back into the shadows.
"Well where was she?" James asked as he set his whiskey down.
"She was with the artist," Mike told him.
"Well we should put an end to that," James said as he smirked.
Lena threw her stuff down as she showered and crawled into bed, she thought about Kara as she cried herself to sleep.
