Kara was excited. She had been wanting to watch Tarzan for a while now. After a couple of busy weeks, Alex and Maggie decided it was time to have a pajama party so Kara could watch the movie and they could all catch up. So, after eating pizza and lots of potstickers (she ate most of them), Maggie and Alex were cuddling in one couch with one blanket and Lena and her were sitting right next to each other, sharing one blanket too, which was not big enough for them in that position.
Kara watched Alex and her girlfriend for a couple of seconds. They were adorable together. She wished she could have something like that someday. Someone to cuddle with, someone soft and cute. She took a deep breath and then looked at the TV again. None of the guys she had been with seemed to fit with what she wished, they were not soft and they did not make her want to put her head in their chest while they were watching movies (and she had done it anyway).They were tough men who felt too stiff when she hugged or kissed them.
And then there was her best friend.
Lena was very attractive, she looked very comfy and delicate and she definitely wanted to put her head on her chest, because... Well, she had some good attributes that made her wonder how that'd feel like. It was not difficult anymore for her to admit that she totally had a crush on her best friend, but she was not sure how Lena would react if she ever told her. Although, there was something that made her think that she might be attracted to her as well, at least physically.
Most people thought Kara was clueless about people flirting with her, and she was, most of the time. But she had caught Lena looking at her in THAT way multiple times. Maybe it was just that she was fit, but Lena was too and the men who flirted with the green-eyed were way too muscular as well... So, she didn't have an answer for that.
The youngest Danvers was too deep in her thoughts when she felt the woman next to her standing up to answer her ringing phone.
—Hello? Thought you weren't going to call, Joe! –Kara looked over her shoulder, directly at Lena and sighed loudly, drawing Maggie's attention. The brunette looked at her with understanding eyes and made a broken heart with her hands... The blonde had told them about Joe before Lena came. Kara rolled her eyes and tried to keep watching Jane talking to some old guy, but she couldn't concentrate.
While Lena and the blonde were having lunch two days ago, a very handsome blue-eyed men came to them and asked Lena for her number. He said they were classmates back in college and that they should go grab some drinks one of those days. Lena gave him her number and told him that she remembered being his Lab partner. Kara gulped and looked around. That feeling in her stomach was not very familiar. She started feeling sick.
—I'm sorry, Lena. I have to go –she said, standing up after a few minutes of listening both of them talking (about something she didn't quite understand) and grabbing her coat.
—Oh, ok! Take care.
—Have fun –she said, and then cursed in her head, because she didn't mean for it to sound that bitter.
She hated that feeling. She was telling Lena how great it was to cook lasagna for the first time and the green-eyed was paying her so much attention until the guy interrupted them. How could someone be so rude? And her friend just said "take care" when she was leaving. That made her feel even worse.
—Sure! I'm free tomorrow night! –Lena paused for a couple of seconds –Really? I've always wanted to try that!
Kara was now visibly upset. She had asked Lena this morning to go with her to the cinemas tomorrow night and she declined, saying that she had to work late. As Lena kept on talking to the guy, Kara decided she would lay down on the couch, on her right side and cover herself almost like a caterpillar with the blanket. She wanted to be mad at her, but she knew that she couldn't. And she shouldn't. Laying down made her feel a little better, until someone stepped in front of her.
—Kara, I was sat there!
She looked up shrugged and pretended to be interested in some Mangani apes.
—Kara! Move, please!
She kept on watching the TV.
—What's wrong?! –Lena asked and looked, her eyes searching for the other two women who didn't say anything –Kara! I'll lay down there and squash you if you don't move!
The blonde rolled her eyes and didn't say anything either. Then, she felt her friend trying to make room in the couch. Ugh. She could smell the raspberry shampoo from there. Awkward. But it smelt amazing, though. She laid on her right side, so they could both fit on the couch.
—Would you at least share with me the blanket, please? It's freezing! –Lena whispered so she wouldn't distract the other two anymore and trying to look at Kara behind her, who was struggling with her hands, because she didn't know where to put them. And she also tried to move away from Lena, because her center was too close to the other woman's butt and well, you know how uncomfortable it can get. Lena noticed that and once she got a bit of blanket, she scooted back and closer to her friend. Kara squirmed backwards and Lena took her left hand and put it on her hip, while the alien put her right one in a more comfortable position.
—Hey, what's wrong? –Lena said after a few minutes.
–Nothing –she tried to move away her hand from the other woman's hip, but Lena was fast to grab it and keep it there.
—Seriously?
Kara sighed again and kept watching Tarzan.
—I just thought you were going to be busy tomorrow night –Kara said some minutes later, surprising herself because it just came out of her mouth without even thinking about how it sounded.
And then Lena got it.
—So, that is what this is about? –She shifted slightly, trying to face the alien –Kara Danvers, you're jealous.
—No, I'm not.
—Oh, you are. But, listen, I can see you every day and he will leave town in a couple days. Plus, I haven't seen him in years. I'll make it up to you, okay?
—Mhm...
Lena rolled her eyes and shifted again to watch the rest of the movie. She felt the need to thrust backwards, pushing her butt to Kara and tease her for being jealous about a stupid guy. But suddenly, she felt the hand that was resting on her hip going down.
—What are you doing?! –she said quietly.
The alien didn't say anything, as her hand touched the woman's leg, passing the pencil skirt she was wearing.
—KARA!
Lena's voice sounded through the living room, making Alex and Maggie look at them. She flushed and the blonde pretended to ignore her again. Kara put her hand carefully between her friend's thighs, just above the knees, although she was not sure what she was doing. She, in fact, felt jealous and a little possessive but at the same time, aroused... Because, come on! Having Lena's butt pushing backwards, just hitting the perfect spot, would make anyone feel flustered and her back pressed to her breasts wasn't helping either. She knew the older woman was confused, just as she was, but she was not trying to make her stop. Lena was just asking what was going on.
Kara kept on caressing her skin softly, and a few minutes later Alex stood up and made them realize that the movie was over. She carefully put her hand away and smiled. Lena once again shifted to look at her.
—What was that? –she asked quietly.
—I... I don't know –Lena raised her eyebrow and smirked softly, making her feel nervous –I'm sorry, I wasn't th...
—I didn't say I didn't like it, –the Luthor interrupted– I was just… surprised.
Kara awkwardly stood up without saying another thing. She went to the kitchen with Alex and grabbed a soda to cool off a little.
—Why didn't you just tell her that you were jealous, Kara? She kept on asking during the movie. You two are very annoying.
—I wasn't jealous... She just -she was interrupted again.
—Oh, you totally were. –said Maggie, entering the kitchen too– But hey, I wanna watch The Proposal, is alright?
—Oh God, I love that movie, it's so romantic –said Alex sarcastically.
The youngest Danvers took another deep breath when she glanced at Lena and saw her smiling at her phone. She was texting him again. Shit. That feeling came to her stomach one more time.
The good thing was that her sister and the detective thought Lena was just talking about Kara being jealous and not the hand she was teasing her with. The blonde was torn between jealousy and being turned on. But she had one thing very clear: she just wanted Lena to herself.
She finished her soda and then noticed that the women who were with her in the kitchen were already cuddling again and Lena was still laying on the couch. After a couple of seconds, the alien returned to her previous position, with the blanket covering both of them. Her hand flew to the hip in front of her and she kept it there for almost thirty minutes, until she felt Lena moving against her again.
