Kara laid on her bed, staring up at the ceiling of her apartment while she went over what had happened today.
She had arrived early to CatCo, seeing that Lena was already there in her newly acquired office. Kara waved at her from outside her office before going to her desk, within a few seconds she could hear the sound of heels clicking towards her.
"Hey Kara, could I talk to you for a minute?" Lena's voice called out, Kara turned and looked at her. Lena looked nervous as she picked at her own nails. Kara nodded as she stood up from her desk and followed Lena back to her office.
Lena then told Kara about her upcoming date with James, and if she was crazy to even agree to go out with him. How she was his boss and that their was so many reasons not to.
Kara felt her heart sink in her chest, she stood there and listened to Lena talk while trying to mask over the pain she was feeling. She has been harbouring feelings for the certain CEO since she had first met her, and ever since becoming her friend she had started to fall in love with the way she laughed. Or how she put her friends needs above her own.
Kara gave a fake smile before saying that Lena should go for it, pushing Lena towards her happiness. She knew that she would regret it, pushing what she loved away instead of diving.
Kara could still feel her heart sinking even more in her chest as she thought about today.
After that conversation she had left work, she couldn't handle staying in the same room as anyone else. She quickly left the building and went into a back alley, changing into her super suit and flying home. When she arrived, she slipped out of her suit and into her comfiest pair of pyjama pants and a tank top before turning off her phone and falling back onto her bed.
She knew that if something was to happen in the city she would be able to hear it. Closing her eyes, she had finally allowed her pent up tears to come out. Slowly but surely they turned into full blown sobs.
After a few hours, Kara had run out of tears. Choosing to just lay there staring up into the abyss. All was quiet, the only sounds that could be heard was from the busy streets outside. Kara sighed as she turned in her bed to face the window, only to hear loud banging coming from her door.
"God damnit, Kara open this door!" Alex's voice called out.
Kara slowly got up out of bed and walked down the hallway and towards the locked door.
"What do you want?" She called out.
"Kara what's going on? I got a call from James. He said you left work, that you didn't even say where you were going!" Alex said before jingling the handle again.
"Come on Kara let me in.." she added
"I just want to be alone right now." Kara stated, the jingling stopped only to be followed by Alex's soft voice.
"Kara, talk to me.." she pleaded, Kara leaned her head against the cool wood of the door before sliding down it.
"I just need to be alone right now Alex.. Please." Kara practically begged through more tears, she could hear Alex step back from the door.
"I'm here for you Kara, if you need me call me." She said before she left.
Kara buried her head in her arms as she gritted her teeth, she didn't mean to hurt Alex. She knew that she was just trying to be there for her sister. That she loved her.
After a while Kara didn't know how long she had sat there, her back against the wooden door. She just kept her head in her arms, she eyes red and burning slightly from crying.
She was just about to get up and go to her bed when a small soft knock came from behind her.
"Kara?" A soft Irish voice came from the other side, Kara felt her heart speed up in her chest.
"Kara please.." the voice called out again, Kara sighed as she got up off of the floor and placed her hand on the lock.
"Lena?" She said.
"Kara.. Kara are you alright?" Lena asked, hearing the worried tone in her voice.
"Alex called you didn't she?" Kara asked.
"She did, but I was already worried when you took off after our talk." Lena answered
Kara sighed, she knew that she had to tell her. That it was now or never, the soft click of the door unlocking was heard followed by the door opening slightly as Kara hid behind it.
"Come in." Kara said, keeping her eyes on the ground. Not yet looking up as Lena entered her apartment.
"Is everything okay?" Lena asked, Kara shut the door and finally looked up at her.
Lena had been dressed in a fancy black dress that hung off her shoulders, but her hair and makeup we're ruined. As if she had been running out in the rain.
"Lena, what happened?" Kara asked and she walked over to her hall closet, grabbing a soft baby blue towel before walking back over and wrapping the other woman up in it.
"Did James stand you up, if he did I swear!" Kara said, her body fuming with anger.
"No Kara, I had been out on that date when your sister had called me.. She was worried about you, saying you wouldn't answer the door to her. That you were locked up in your apartment, so I explained to James that I had to come here to see you. He decided to make some smartass comment on how you were probably faking it.." Lena stated.
"Asshole." Kara muttered softly, Lena gave a smirk as she lifted her eyebrows.
"Sunny Danvers swears after all" She laughed as she went on.
"I agree, but he doesn't get to say that about my best friend. So I may have broke his nose.." Kara stared at her while Lena started to blush.
"I didn't stick around to find out, so I came here." She added, Kara moved them to her couch. Allowing the Luthor to take off her shoes and set her purse down.
*Please talk to me Kara, I want to help.." Lena said, placing her hand on Kara's.
"I didn't mean to run off honestly, I just couldn't stay there today.." Kara stated, giving Lena's hand a small squeeze.
"Why though, was it something I said? One of the other reporters? Did someone say something bad about potstickers?" Lena asked in all seriousness.
Kara felt a smirk creep up on her lips, her heart pounding in her chest. Of course her best friend understood how much potstickers meant to her.
"No, it's just some personal things I've kept inside when I should have just said them." Kara stated
The room was silent, Kara trying to come up with some way to tell her friend that she likes her. She closed her eyes and shook her head.
"Your probably freezing in that dress, I'll go get you something to wear." Kara said as she stood up and walked to her room, she opened her dresser drawers and pulled out a pair of shorts and a oversized shirt. She turned only to find Lena standing in front of her.
"Kara." She said softly, reaching out she placed her hands on her cheeks.
"Why did you push me to go out on a date with James?" She asked.
"Because I thought he could make you happy." Kara answered.
"And you don't think you could have made me happy?" Lena said puzzled.
"I'm not what you need Lena.." Kara whispered, dropping her eyes to the ground.
"That doesn't mean you're not what I want." Lena answered, surging in and kissing her. Kara blinked a few times before closing her eyes and reciprocating the kiss.
Kara dropped the clothes in her hands to the ground before placing them on Lena's hips, feeling Lena's heart beating strongly against hers.
"Kara.." Lena gasped as she felt the blondes lips move from hers down her jaw and to her neck.
"Did you want me to stop?" Kara asked as she pulled away slightly.
"God no." Lena said
Kara smirked as she picked Lena up and brought her towards her bed, lightly setting her down before continuing her previous actions. Lena tangled her hands in the beautiful blonde hair, by the way Kara was quickly stripping off her clothes to kiss newly exposed skin. She knew that this was going to be a fun evening.
Kara groaned as she heard her alarm clock beside her bed go off, she shot out her hand and turned it off. Rolling back over to bury her face into silky soft hair.
Kara's eyes shot open, quickly doing a double take to see that Lena Luthor. Her boss, her best friend. Was sleeping, naked. In her bed.
She felt a blush cover her cheeks as she thought about last night, on to be pulled out of her thoughts when green eyes met blue.
"It's impolite to stare when someone's sleeping." Lena said with a raspy morning voice.
"Is it a crime to stare at such beauty?" Kara teased, making Lena smirk and nod.
"Oh well, it's worth it." Kara said as she reached over and ran her fingers through Lena's hair, before pulling away and starting to get dressed.
"Where do you think your going?" Lena asked
"Well, it is Friday.. And my boss hates it when I'm late for work." Kara stated as Lena glared playfully at her.
"Screw your boss, and get back in this bed Miss Danvers." Lena said
"I thought I already did Miss Luthor."
