Chapter 13 / Glitter In The Air
The remaining of the morning was uneventful. Just some questions from Lena and lots of cuddling. When it was something past 12 we decided to put on some clothes again. That was the moment I decided that it was finally time to ask one of the most important questions. Where is Kal-el. So I asked Lena "Lena?" I get a hum in response from the walk in closet so I walk inside to get her complete attention. It was quite fun to see, Lena changing in front of a mirror and trying to zip up her dress. I slowly walk to her and place one hand on her shoulder while I slowly zip her dress.
Before Lena can say something like thank you I say "What happened to Kal-el?"I see the shocked expression on Lena's face while she stammers "H-He was affected by Red K. We failed to stop him and he was about to kill you. The only kryptonite we had was too weak but we needed to do something. So Lex shot him with kryptonite bullets. The last we saw from Clark is him fleeing. We didn't had time to go after him because you were seriously injured." I slowly nod and feel a tear making it's way down my face.
Lena turns around hugs me tight and whispers things like 'Let it out sweetie' and 'It will all get better' while I truly break down. After a couple minutes I finally calm down. I am still not completely relaxed so Lena tries to light up the mood with "Well miss Luthor, today is Valentines day. I know how tight your schedule is. But would you like to go on a date with me?" I chuckle a bit broken but respond with "Yes."
"Good, I plan to take you out so be prepared for press." She lets go of the hug to look at me and say "You don't have to worry about your clothes because you look dazzling." I couldn't say the same about hers because they are all wet so... "I hoped I could say that to you too but I kind of ruined them."
Lena chuckles and looks sincerely to me "It are just clothes, you go first. Benefits for choosing me" She says and winks. I feel a fascinating urge to kiss her. One which feels like the only thing I can do in the next couple of seconds is grab her head and plant my lips on hers. Of course I did that. Who wouldn't? If she already is yours than this is only better.
That evening
Lena just said be ready in our room at that time I will pick you up. Nothing more, nothing less. So Valentines day... cool. Bonding time with Lena and great food! Probably... it might not even be the truth. Well, of Lena truly knows me that won't be a problem.
I pace inside the room, not knowing what to do. I do have a phone now so... social media. I open Instagram and go to my own page. Which contains many pictures with Lena, the reactions are quite lovely. Mostly about #Karlena and apparently the most influential women in National City. Some are mean but I think you will always get that... I also see no bad things about the Luthor family. It feels great... Lena doesn't have a burden like that anymore.
She still has the burden of being a female CEO but apparently so have I. That brings me an idea so I search for Catco online. I mostly find just news of now but I see one article with the headline 'CEO Lena Luthor buys Catco as engagement present.' I chuckle lightly, that is something Lena would do... I was about to search Cat Grant up but somebody knocked on the door and opens it.
Lena stands in the doorway with a bouquet of flowers, roses. Her dress is still the beautiful green dress she changed into when her other dress was 'ruined'. I walk up to her, put my phone away on a table. Grab the bouquet and put that also away and finally after all that I kiss her fiercely, a kiss full of lust. Yep, I hated waiting for her. Lena is the first to pull away as she chuckles. "You still hate waiting don't you?" I hum in response "Well I hate to disappoint but we need to go to a very fancy restaurant called 'Le Septième Ciel'."
I gasp a little, one of the most expensive restaurants in National City. Lena has game... True game. This is good.
(I am going to skip dinner.) Almost at the end of dinner.
Dinner is going well, we are almost finished. Lena's game is just... wow. She rented the complete restaurant. It is just us two. Well and all the paparazzi outside but she explained just hold on my hand and walk don't stop and be polite. She also warned me to not be a brick, concrete wall, glass wall or a wrecking ball. Just nothing that hurts. It was doable, with me having a little bit of invulnerability.
It does feel great, being somewhere that isn't our house or a hospital. And it is even Valentines day. The day of showing love. And with who can you better do that than your wife? Lena said something about taking the backdoor and going for a walk. And so we did. We took our jackets and walked to the backdoor. Apparently outside there was some sort of Valentines day 'festival' also known as a busy street with one too many food places. A girl a Cupid costume walks up to us. Offers Lena some chocolate after the rejection from Lena she offers me it but for some reason I say no. I didn't know that was possible but still, I did it.
Finally the girl grabs some sort of glitter stuff and blows it towards Lena and me. I stand a bit bedazzled. After a couple seconds my senses go into hyper mode. My apparently Lena senses. I immediately grab she looks quite mad at me but I just shake my head and walk way with her following me because even though I don't have my powers I am still stronger.
