*CAT*
I wake up groaning loudly at the light pouring crossed my eyes. After Kara left suddenly last night i began drowning myself in a bottle of vodka. I couldn't believe she kissed me last night, the woman i have been pining for kissed me. Than she left me without a reason.
Finally i climb out of bed and begin to get ready for the day. After taking a quick shower and getting dressed, i apply my makeup. When i come out of my bedroom into the kitchen Carter is eating cereal at the counter.
"Good morning mom." He greets with a bright smile that instantly lightens my mood some.
"Good morning handsome." I kiss his head walking past.
Breakfast is slow as my mind is constantly filled with thoughts of Kara. That stupid girls' smile, the way her eyes light up when she is given praise and her lips. God those lips, she had only kissed them once, but that was all it took to be addicted.
Carter and i enter the office about an hour later. I discreetly look around the office for Kara. She is nowhere to be found in the room. I hide my disappointment behind an irritated scowl. Carter takes a seat at Kara's desk and begins playing on his phone as i go into my office.
*KARA*
When i finally wake up i roll over to see Alex's spot of the bed empty. I climb out of bed and walk into the kitchen where Alex is making coffee.
"Good morning sunshine." She greets looking at me.
"What happened last night?" I groan rubbing my forehead as all of the memories coming rushing back.
"Never mind, i remember." I whine as she hands me a cup of coffee and a kiss on the cheek.
"I need to get going, when you leave go through the balcony doors." She says in her big sister voice as she straps her gun to her leg.
"Yes mom." i roll my eyes nodding.
After Alex leaves i take a quick shower and fly back to my apartment. I throw on my work clothes and nervously make my way to work. I pick up Cat's coffee from her favorite cafe and nervously walk into work.
When i walk into the office i see Carter sitting at my desk playing on his phone. He jumps up when he sees me and runs over excitedly.
"Kara guess what? Super girl came over and had dinner with mom and i on Friday! She is the coolest person ever!" He exclaims excitedly and i smile at him, momentarily distracted.
"Thats great buddy, i need to talk to your mom but than we can totally talk." I say hoping that i still have a job.
I walk into Cats office stopping in front of her desk. She never looks up from her papers making me increasingly nervous. I set the coffee down in front of her and wait for her to respond. I turn around move to leave the room.
"Close the door Kara." I hear behind me and instantly my palms start sweating. Closing the door i take a deep breath and turn around to walk back to her desk.
"Cat plea-…" I start but she stands cutting me off with a wave of her hand.
"Kara, i'm going to stop you right there. If you think you can treat me the way you did last night and than come in here to apologize you are totally wrong." she says and i step forward into her space.
"Cat I am so sorry for the way i treated you last night. Will you let me please let me make it up to you? I really want to talk to you." I beg watching her unreadable face.
"Get out Kara, don't you have a job to do?" Cat snaps at me waving with her hand.
"Cat, please." I know i have really screwed up at this point. I leave the office with my head hung low. My heart hurts at the fact Cat wont even look at me.
*CAT*
I watch Kara leave the office sadly. I wish more than anything that i could call her back in here and hug her tightly. I love her, so much, but she left me last night without reason or warning. I know she was scared, but it doesn't matter why all that matters is that she ran from me.
I watch through the glass as Carter shows Kara something on his phone excitedly and she smiles softly at him. My heart aches at the sight of the two people i care about more than anything interacting together.
*KARA*
"What did you do to upset mom?" Carter asks looking up at me.
"What do you mean?" I ask him with a worried look.
"You and mom love each other, i'm sure what ever you did she will forgive if you apologize." he says and i look at him shocked.
"What are you talking about? Why do you think your mother and i love each other?" i ask in a high squeaky voice.
"Kara i'm not stupid, i know what love looks like. You and my mom have it-…"
"Carter your wrong and i don't know where you got that idea." I say and he crosses his arms staring at me with a look that is all his mother.
"Fine, i love your mom." i lower my voice and hiss. "You cant tell her though. she doesn't feel the same about me." i say and he rolls his eyes groaning loudly.
"Kara what did i just say? She loves you to, she just doesn't know how to express it. So what did you do to make her upset?" he repeats
"You really think she loves me kid?" i look over my shoulder through the window and see Cat leaning over her desk.
"She totally loves you. Go make whatever you did right." he says shoving me in the direction of the office.
"okay I'm going." i say going into the office and shutting the door behind me with more bravo than i actually feel.
"what the hell are you doing?" Cat looks up at me and snaps.
"I need to talk to you, you didn't let me apologize a minute ago. I need to explain myself." i say stepping closer to her desk.
"Kara you are treading on thin ice. Get out." She growls and i swallow deeply.
"Last night when i kissed you, i have never wanted to do anything more." i start speaking ignoring her, making her lean back in her chair and cross her arms.
"I ran because i was so scared. Everything i have ever wanted was in my hands. I had Cat Grant in my arms, the woman i love kissing me." I say and her eyes widen.
"Did you just say you love me?" She asks and i nod slowly trying to figure out her reaction.
"Ye-… yes. I love you."
She looks at me for a long moment and i see the feelings swimming in her eyes. After a moment of looking at me she goes back to her papers. My mouth falls open and i gawk at her actions. She is just reading and filling out paper work like I'm not here. I told her i love her and she goes back to work.
"Cat-…"
"No!" She snaps jumping out of her chair and storming around her desk to get in my face.
"You lost your chance, last night when i was alone and wondering what i did to make you run away was your chance! Do i care about you? Yes! Had you not run off could we have been more? Who knows! But the point is that no matter how much i care for you, i will not be with a coward." She says turning her back to me.
I make a split second decision to follow her. My hand catches her wrist and i pull her onto the balcony out of sight. I push her against the wall and rest my hands on either side of her head.
"What do you think you are doing?" She snaps at me but doesn't try to move.
"Cat please give me a second chance." I beg leaning slowly towards her. She doesn't answer but doesn't move so i softly press my lips against hers. She responds with more pressured i feel her tongue flick against my bottom lip. After the best moments of my life she pulls away and i open my eyes.
"Cat?"
"No, i told you. This cant happen, i won't let this happen." She says walking into her office leaving me on the balcony alone wondering what my next move is. I try not to be to heart broken at Cat leaving, but i wont let this stop me. I love her and i will fight for her, because she's worth it.
