A/N: A long wait, I know. I feel very guilty about it, I really do, but you know life got in the way... I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the rest!

Alex woke up by a soft dip in the mattress besides her. For a split second her still dreaming mind allowed her to be confused about who had caused it, before she had to fight off a tickling attack.

"Kara! Stop! I can't breath!" she laughed, opening her eyes to see her sister bouncing on the bed.

"But it's Sister Sunday, and you're still sleeping," the younger Danvers pouted.

Alex turned around to look at the clock, which read 10 AM. It confused her, because usually her wandering mind would force her to wake up no later than 7.

"I was, but now I'm right awake!" she yelled, this time being the one who started the tickling war.

A few minutes later, both Danvers sisters laid on top of the bed, completely out of breath.

"So what do you want to do today?" Alex asked. She usually let Kara decide, not wanting to suggest something her sister wasn't able to do anymore.

"I want to talk about Maggie," she heard her sister say, and the mere mention of that name caused Alex to smile.

"I can hear you smiling all the way over here," Kara laughed.

"No you can't," Alex protested.

"No I can't," her sister laughed, "but I can hear your heart speeding up, and your breathing quickening, so I'm assuming you have a dumb smile on your face."

Alex hated it when her sister was right about something like this.

"Fine," she admitted, "I had a good time yesterday. Happy now?"

"Not yet! Tell me about how good a kisser she is! Are you going to see each other again? Are you dating for real now? Do you like her?"

The older Danvers sister laughed at her baby sister's rant.

"She's an amazing kisser, I'll see her at work tomorrow, no, trick question," she answered all of the questions.

"How is if you like her a trick question?" Kara asked, confused.

"Because the person she was yesterday, it was all an act. I liked the act, and I'll probably ask her again for the next fundraiser mum decides to throw, but that's it. None of it was real, Kara."

"The hell it was," Kara said, surprising her sister by swearing like that. "I may be almost blind, but I'm not stupid Alex. People were talking about how in love you two looked, in your own little bubble. That couldn't have been all an act. No one's that good, especially not you."

"Well, thank you, I think that was supposed to be a compliment," Alex said. "But it was an act, she just made it easy."

"You're lying to me again, Alex," Kara reprimanded her.

"Fine, I do like her, it was an amazing night, but for her, this was all just another undercover job, without criminals. I'm not going to let myself believe otherwise," the elder woman admitted and then successfully ended that conversation with "So what do you want for breakfast?"

***SANVERS***

Maggie woke up, but refused to open her eyes. Not yet, she thought, because when she kept them close, she could still feel Alex' lips against hers, her hand on her back and the way her pulse started rushing against her nose when she pulled her close.

The detective let out a deep breath, smiling contently. Last night couldn't have gone better. It had been amazing, wonderful, the best date she had ever had.

No, not a date, she corrected herself. She didn't date, not anymore. But this, with Alex, with clear boundaries, was something she could get used to. She would definitely not refuse if the doctor would ask her again.

After another five minutes of reminiscing, Maggie finally opened her eyes. There was already light in the room, the summer sun deciding to come out even more brightly as usual today, or so it seemed to the detective. She put on her running clothes and was outside in a matter of minutes.

While on her morning run, Maggie thought back of the events of the previous night. The James rumor had been brutal on Alex, making her the focus of attention of everyone present, something she had soon learned the doctor hated. The only option had been to make it look different than when Alex had brought Lucy, and lucky for the detective, the other woman must've had the same idea.

Because oh god, that kiss.

Maggie couldn't fight the smile off of her face when remembering their kiss. It had been tender, soft, yet hungry and urgent. As if the story they were selling to the others, was true for those few moments. It had been perfect.

And because it had felt so real, it had scared Maggie. She had decided a long time ago that to protect herself from getting hurt, she would have to keep herself away from love and relationships. The last girl she had been with, had broken up with her in such a savage way, had said things that had hurt so much, Maggie was certain she wouldn't be able to survive that again.

This fake relationship thing, it worked for her. No feelings, no commitment, just enjoying the moment.

Maggie was so lost in thought, she nearly ran into someone.

"Oh excuse me," she said, quickly being forced back to the real world.

"It's okay Maggie, I hadn't seen you coming either," she heard the other woman laugh, and quickly joined in the laughter.

***SANVERS***

It had happened so fast, Alex hadn't had the chance to pull Kara out of the way.

"Little Danvers," she heard the other woman, who had run into Kara, say.

There was only one person who called her sister that.

"Maggie?" she asked confused.

"Hi Alex," the detective smiled, dimples in full display. "I'm sorry, I was lost in thought, didn't see you guys coming. I should pay more attention."

"It's okay, Maggie," Kara smiled. "Now that we ran into each other, would you like to join us for breakfast?"

"Isn't it too late for breakfast?"

"People just call it brunch, but it's still breakfast," Alex explained, quickly getting over the effect those dimples had on her.

"So many words for eating," Kara said. "So, will you join us?"

"I don't know," the detective seemed to hesitate. "I'm all sweaty from running and you guys have Sister Sunday now."

"It doesn't me and I'm the person with heightened senses and a sister to share. Please?"

The puppy dog eyes came out, possibly more powerful than those dimples, Alex mused.

"Fine, lead the way, little Danvers," Maggie finally agreed and followed an overly happy Kara towards her favorite brunch place.
