CHAPTER 10
The proximity of Kara made Lena feel kind of funky. She couldn't describe the feeling and that strong lavender and honey scent made the CEO crazy. During their movie they would both look away from the screen just to catch glimpse of the others face. They would do it secretly so the other doesn't see. Karas hand was still wrapped up around Lena and every scary part made green eyed woman jump; so Kara squeezed her tighter each time that happened. Lena was slowly letting down her guard, she wasn't tense and she just felt like she was relaxing for the first time.
"Would you like another slice of pizza?" – Kara asked Lena but she was focused at the movie. When there was no response Kara shook her shoulder until Lena's attention was given to Kara.
"What? I didn't hear you? This is getting so good." – Lena looked away from Kara so she doesn't miss the movie. Kara chuckled at how the CEO was all dorky and cute.
Kara let the girl watch so she slowly removed her hand from Lena's waist and got up to bring more pizza. Lena immediately felt the absence of Kara's warmth so she turned her head around to see where the blonde went.
"Kara, where are you go.." – Lena stopped when she saw girl bringing more food.
"I can't allow Lena Luthor to starve in my apartment. Can I?" – The blonde smiled so wide that she made Lena blush.
They continued eating and watching, Kara finishing her slice before Lena so she settled her hand where it was moments ago. Lena put her head on Kara's right shoulder as she continued to eat.
Everything was over so Lena knew she had to leave. If only she could spend an eternity here in this apartment, on this couch in Kara's arms.
"It is getting late. I should be going home." – Lena stated looking down at the blanket.
"You can stay here if you want." – Kara blurted out and her cheeks flushed pink. Lena looked at Kara and slightly smiled.
"Thank you Kara but I have a lot to do in the morning. Regarding press and meeting with the investors." – Kara's face went down but she knew how busy Lena must be.
"At least you can take the shorts and the T-shirt." – Kara smiled and Lena did too.
"Well, I will bring them back as soon as I can." – Lena got up and took her dress. She reached for her phone to call her driver.
While Lena was on the phone Kara removed the glasses and plates from the living room table.
"My driver will be here in 10 minutes." – Lena smiled shyly.
"I had great time tonight. I would like if… If we could maybe, repeat this again." – Kara was uncertain on how the CEO would react. But not long after her words the dark haired girl laughed and nodded.
"I also had a great time. It was a fun distraction from dealing with everything. I will call you as soon as possible." – Lena smiled showing her white perfect teeth.
"I will be waiting. If you don't call or text I know where you work." –Kara teased Lena and they stared at each other.
Lena's phone vibrated and she reached for it in her shorts pocket.
"Yes? I will be right down." – she hung up and stuffed the phone in and smiled at Kara.
"I will walk you down." – Kara excitedly stated moving towards her front door.
"Don't bother Kara. You don't have to come all the way down. I will see you soon." – Kara nodded and opened the door for Lena. As Lena waved Kara the blonde girl unexpectedly hugged Lena.
It was a quick but warm hug. Lena's nose was filled with Kara's scent, which smelled like home to Lena.
"Bye, Kara." – Lena smiled a little reddish in her cheeks as she turned around and left Kara's sight.
It was impossible for Kara to sleep and she kept thinking how she spent the evening with Lena Luthor. The Girl of Steel was tossing and turning in her bed not able to sleep. Her thoughts wandered to the beautiful girl with dark hair and green eyes. And that smile, that smile that makes Karas heart beat fast and the thing she does when she frowns. Kara was starting to like her in a way that was more than friends.
At the other part of the city was Lena Luthor, she just walked up to her apartment. It was dark so she turned on the lights. Once she was here her anxiety started to creep her up. She felt safe at Kara's place, actually she felt safe being next to the blonde girl. Lena walked down to her bedroom and left her dress at the nearby sofa.
She decided to take a shower and go straight to bed. After she was done she looked at the clothes Kara gave her earlier that evening. The CEO decided to wear her PJs and maybe catch a few hours of sleep before getting up for work. God knew how exhausted she will be in the morning.
"KIERA!" – Cat Grant yelled from her office, the woman looked like she was having a panic attack. She was nervously searching for something.
"Yes, Miss Grant?" – Kara came in almost out of breath.
"Kiera, how many times do I have to repeat myself?" – the older woman said opening her drawers and removing her papers from the desk.
"I don't … I don't understand what are you trying to say Miss Grant." – Kara frowned and she looked at the frantic woman.
"The gala incident; why it isn't on my desk already?" – Cat looked up with her eyes wide and arms in the air.
"It… It is in the process."
"Where in the hell are…" – Kara started pointing at Cat Grants head and the woman looked confused.
Once she realized what the girl was pointing at she took her glasses and smirked at the blonde.
"Shoo shoo Kiera. You have work to do." – Kara left her bosses office and went to her desk to write an article.
Kara was in the process of finishing her article when she heard her phone vibrate.
Lena Luthor: "One more meeting and I think I will kill myself."
Kara smiled as she tried to think what to respond.
Kara Danvers: "Can you get out earlier tonight?"
Lena Luthor: "Well… I am the CEO of my company, so I could leave now if I want. "
Kara smiled at Lena's text and typed her response.
Kara Danvers: "Tonight 20 o'clock, I will pick you up at the L-Corp."
Lena Luthor: "What if I say no?"
Kara Danvers: "I won't take no for an answer. See you tonight."
Lena bit her lower lip as she read the last text. Kara made her laugh and she missed that feeling of being happy. She wondered was she ever happy in the Luthor household, but she was certain Kara was the answer.
Kara came to the L-Corp and as she was approaching the front desk Jess greeted her.
"Good evening Miss Danvers." – the woman greeted the blonde with a warm smile plastered on her face.
"Good evening, Jess. And it is Kara for you." – Jess smiled wider at how the girls politeness.
"Miss Luthor told me that you can wait for her in her office." – girl smiled and nodded.
They walked into her office and Kara was left alone. She noticed how Lena loved flowers; there were all kinds of flowers in her office. She decided to sit on the white couch and pulled up her phone. She hoped her sister would have called but there was no sign of her. Kara hated when they fight. The not talking part was the worst.
Kara heard heels clanking all the way from the hallway. It must be Lena. And she was right, the dark haired woman walked in her office finding Kara sitting on the couch.
She was wearing black tight pants, white shirt and black jacket. Her hair was let down and she was wearing her distinctive lipstick.
"Kara!" – the woman exclaimed as she approached the blonde.
"Lena, it is nice to see you." – they both hugged and smiled at each other.
"I wasn't sure what to wear so I decided to wear pants." – Kara laughed when she saw woman wearing heels.
"I think your outfit can work. It is not ideal but you'll be fine." – Kara laughed as the dark haired woman picked her bag from her desk.
"And where are we going Miss Danvers?" – Lena teased walking towards the door.
"It is a surprise Miss Luthor. You'll see when we get there." – Kara smiled and quickly adjusted her glasses.
"I hope Supergirl doesn't have to show up tonight."
