CH 03
It's gonna be already a week since the last time she saw her, and, she almost didn't recognize her without all the makeup, but, those blue eyes are hard to forget...
"Another magic trick that didn't go well?" The doctor Alex Danvers says while she approaches to her patient who's waiting for her. "Ahm... not really. I kind of messed it up on my lab..." Alex hums with the reply of the blonde. A CEO in a lab... it seems that this girl is as clumsy as possible in no matter what she does...
"Lab? You're a CEO, what the hell are you doing in a Lab?"
"I'm very smart, and, I'm helping the R&D team to develop new toys..." Alison sees how Alex frowns, not believing it. "Hey! I'm really smart! I might be blonde! But, I'm not that kind of blonde!" Alison points out with a serious voice.
Alex makes no comment about it, she just nods. The dear doctor didn't want to upset her again, but, it seems that no matter what, she always finds a way to start with the wrong foot with this girl...
"So, you were in a Lab. And...?"
"And, I kinda tried to change the blade of a cutter... and, well... I kinda failed in doing it..." Alex bursts out laughing, and, Alison just rolls her eyes...
"It's not funny" Alison pouts
"Well, imagine it's me who's doing it..." The doctor says and, when Alison puts Alex in the same situation than hers, the CEO bursts out laughing...
"See, it's funny..." Alex smirks, and, keeps treating Alison's cut. The blonde CEO doesn't seem to be fan of blood. Alex notices it, and, to distract Alison's mind, she asks her about what she was doing in the lab before the accident with the cutter. The trick worked just fine, because Alison completely forgot about what was happening in her hand when she starts talking about the new inventions she's creating in the lab.
Alison has a great imagination. Maybe that was caused by all the fairy tales, and, fiction books she read when she was younger. Whatever is the reason, it seems that she's creating toys, thinking as a kid. Thinking about what a kid would like to play with. And, Alex smiles at the excitement of the blonde. It's always nice to see people who love what they do at work...
"The cut is not too deep. You will need some stitches. But, you're gonna be okay..." Alison nods when she hears Alex's diagnostic. The blonde really wasn't expecting to end in the hospital while testing the new game of toys she was trying to create, but, she's here... injured, and, being treated by no one else than the same doctor with whom, she didn't have a good start...
Alex might be harsh with her words, speaking before thinking. But, she's very kind on her touch when she treats a patient. And, Alison is surprised by how well Alex closes her wound. The blonde doesn't feel pain at all. In questions of minutes, Alex closed the cut, and looking at the impeccable stitch, it's very possible that Alison will not get a scar after that...
"Okay, it's done. I'll prescribe you something if you feel pain. If you get a little of fever, or, anything else. Do not hesitate to come and, see me..." Alison nods when she hears the indications of the doctor, and, she really believes that she will not need the pain pills, or, come back again. But, she was wrong...
"What was this time?" Alex asks when she sees the girl who has become her most recurrent patient. The doctor is curious to know what is the reason for this visit. Last time, it was a light burn caused by a coffee machine. Really, who burns making coffee? A week before that, the blonde literally blew up her lab when the batteries of her new robotic toys got an electrical overload. No one got hurt besides Alison because she was working alone...
This girl seems to be a magnet for accidents. It's surprising that she has made it so far without having a real scar. And, looking at the injury of today, that record of zero scars will continue, but...
"You broke your arm, I'll need to immobilize it..." Alex informs while she examines the X-ray of Alison's arm. "How did it happen?" The doctor asks and, Alison starts to tell the events of this morning. Alex tries not to laugh, but, she can't help it, especially when Alison is so detailed about how she lost balance on the stairs just because she saw a spider...
"It's not funny..." Alison pouts, puffing her cheeks like a little girl "Spiders are scary..."
"Yeah, super scary..." Alison rolls her eyes with Alex' sarcastic comment. "You know, when I told you the first time 'to come to see me if something else happened to you', I really didn't think that you would take it so literally..." Alex smirks when she starts to put the sling...
"What do you mean?"
"Well, each time you come to the hospital. You ask for me. There are other doctors, you know?" Alison blushes a little when Alex points out the little attachment she's having with her. And, it's not like Alison didn't acknowledge the existence of other doctors. But, she's comfortable with Alex, she likes Alex's touch as a doctor. So, there's nothing wrong with always wanting to be treated by her, right?
Alex's comment gets stuck in Alison's mind like a broken record. And, the blonde gets irritated about it. Because, seriously, why she wants someone like Alex Danvers as her doctor? The doctor always makes jokes about each incident, she teases her about her clumsiness. Something that Alison would normally unlike, but, when she thinks about it, Alex makes jokes about it to minimize Alison's worries. And, it works, Aliso feels like if it's not as grave as she thought after all. So okay, Alex sense of humor is an asset to make her feel better when she's injured, what else?
Thinking about it, Alison likes too, when Alex asks her about her day, she likes when they talk. She likes when Alex says something funny about her little sister so Alison could see that she's not the only clumsy girl in town. Alex is also always smiling. She gives her a big smile each time they say 'goodbye'. And, Alison feels something warm everytime she thinks about that smile...
The list of things that Alison likes about her doctor, it keeps getting bigger, and, bigger. Alison likes so many things about the doctor that if you sum it up, it just reveals that...
"OMG! I've a crush on my doctor!" Alison realizes about it in shock, when she suddenly stops her car without any warning. Car horns start to sound, people are yelling at her, and, Alison shouldn't have stopped her car, in the middle of the street, just like that, but, she couldn't help it. She just became aware of the fact that she might likes Alex Danvers, and, it's a paralyzed moment when you realize you like someone...
And, Alison is not the only one developing feelings for a Danvers...
"Lena! Lena! Over here!" The blonde reporter waves her hand in the air, and, a big smile spreads over Lena's face, an authentic smile. This is their 12th lunch since they met, but, who's counting right? It's not like if Lena Luthor wants to make a big deal about it, but it's...
It's a big deal that Kara's smile is always in Lena's mind, it's a big deal that Lena counts the days, the hours, the minutes, the seconds! To their next rendezvous. And, it's a big, really big deal that Lena loves Kara's company more than anything else on Earth...
"You'll love the dumplings! They are to die for!" Kara exciting says, and, Lena chuckles when she sees how Kara's face always light up when she talks about food...
"It's still a mystery for me how much you can eat without getting the weight of it..." Lena says with a sassy voice, feeling a little jealous about Kara's anatomy. Because who wouldn't love to eat everything they want without getting fat?
"I know, I'm the envy of every girl. But, there can be just one Kara Danvers, so..."
Indeed, there's no one like her in the world. Lena has had the chance to meet a lot of people all over the globe; in boarding schools, in her business trips, in her day-today basis, but, between all the people who has crossed paths with this Luthor, no one compares with Kara Danvers, with this sunshine girl who can make you smile with just one look... one look of those beautiful blue eyes she has...
God, those eyes! Lena has beautiful eyes, she knows that, but, Kara's eyes, those saphires are something else... Kara's eyes are pure affection. Just one gaze of them, and, you can feel like if someone is hugging you. It's a warm feeling surrounding you, so foreign and addictive that Lena can't get enough of it. Maybe that's why she's taking it slow, on her plan to get into the top list of Kara's article...
The article should be published in the upcoming months. They have months! Months! Plenty of time to get what she wants, so, where is the harm in having a little more of Kara in between? There's nothing wrong with wanting to spend more time with Kara, right? Lena wonders, and, she's so lost in her thoughts that it's noticed by the blonde...
"Something in your mind, Lena?"
"Huh?"
"You spaced out..." The blonde points out when she tries to put 3 dumplings in her mouth, at the same time. It's hilarious, and, Lena can't stop laughing, especially when one of the dumplings drops to the floor...
"Oh, no..." Kara sadly pouts. And, it's cute, really, it's cute how her cheeks puff , and, get a little red by her frustration. It's cute how her eyebrows move, how her tender lips curl in the perfect pout. And, it's cute to see how Lena is enthralled by it...
"Here, take mine..." Using her chopsticks, Lena grabs her last dumpling and, heads it towards Kara's mouth. "Say 'ahh'..." Kara blushes a lot when Lena feeds her, but, she happily moans when she tastes the dumpling...
"Oh, God! Lena! It's so good!" Lena nods, and, gulps hard, feeling a little sweaty and, dirty by how much she liked to hear when Kara moaned her name. And, the sticky feeling gets worse when the blonde softly squeezes Lena's knee under the table...
"Leennnaa! You're spacing out again! Your food will get cold!" Kara scolds her, by her absence of appetite, and, it just makes Lena feel more aroused. This is helming towards a dangerous territory. An alarm switches on, in Lena's mind. This has to end now, she has to get what she wants from Kara, and, walk away but...
"Lena, would you like to see a movie at my place, after this? I got this new sound system that should make movies nights a new great experience! We just need to install it..."
"Oh, I see. So, you're inviting me over because you need someone to install it, right?" Lena teases, raising an eyebrow, showing that Kara wasn't subtle at all, trying to get Lena's help...
"Ooops! Busted!" The blonde giggles, melting Lena's heart. How the hell is that a simple giggling can break all the walls of Lena's heart?! The CEO shakes her head, she needs to stop this closeness now that she can. So Lena should advice Kara to get help from someone else, she could pay a technician to do it, but when Lena stares at Kara, when she sees her smile, all what Lena want to say it's...
"Yeah, sure. Let's go to your place..."
And, that's how some hours later, Lena finds herself, reduced at the level of technical support. Who asks a genius with several PhDs to install some speakers?! Just Kara... and, if it would be anyone else who have made the request, it's pretty sure that Lena would have said 'no', but, it's Kara... she cannot say 'no' to Kara... so, here she's... installing speakers...
"You're good at this..."
"Everyone can be good at this, Kara. It's not rocket science..."
"Well, it might not be rocket science, but, I'm glad I have you for this..." Kara says, and, softly kisses Lena's cheek. Something that doesn't go unnoticed by the CEO.
The blonde is very tactile person. She's always hugging, grabbing your arm, holding your hand, leaning her head over your shoulder... or, at least that's what Kara always do when she's around Lena. The CEO never made a big deal about it. But for a reason Lena can't really put into words, the CEO is starting to find Kara's touch a little too stimulating...
"Oh, God, no..." Lena looks at the excited fellow that's waking up between her legs. "Do not start!" Lena whispers at her little friend which is actually not as little as you might think...
"To whom you're talking?" Lena gulps hard, the last thing she needs it's freaking out Kara by her rare anatomy just because she got arousal by a simple kiss in the cheek. Who does that anyway? She's not 14 again. Lena has always been in control of her body, even as a teenager. So, she really doesn't understand her body's reaction to Kara right now...
It's not like if the blonde was throwing herself to her... right? But, actually, the blonde is literally doing that, when she sees that Lena finished installing everything...
"OMG! Lena! Just hear that sound! It's like if we were in the cinema!" The blonde reporter says so joyfully when she hugs Lena as a thank you. And, Lena gulps hard under the warm hug...
Do not melt under the affection! Do not love the hug! Do not like the way she feels around you! Do not like her sweet aroma! Lena's brain tries to give orders to Lena's body, to Lena's heart, to Lena's...
"Lena, your phone is vibrating... I think..." Lena gets embarrassed, frustrated when Kara makes that comment under their hug because it wasn't her phone the one which was hitting Kara's lower middle...
"I've to go!" Lena says out of the blue, breaking the hug as fast as she can, and, running away from what you can say, it's been the most embarrassing moment in her life... for now...
A crush... a burning desire to be with someone who you find extremely attractive. It gives you goosebumps sometimes, it can take your breath away, it can make you lose your words, it can make you feel fluttering feelings you never knew could exist. And, you can try to run away from your crush, you can try to deny it, to hide it, but, when it hit you... when you find someone who's able to change your world with just one smile... there's nothing you can do to fight it... you can't fight love, especially when this look at you, straight in the eyes...
"I don't like this plan, Em..." Tobby says for the umpteenth time. And, he has his reasons to look apprehensive about this undercover mission... "We don't have the police backup. Once you get in there, you'll be on your own, and..."
"And, I know how risky this sounds Tobby. But, I can handle it..." Emily tries to calm her friend Tobby, but, the boy is as stubborn as she, and no matter how many times the brunette says that everything is gonna be okay, he doesn't believe it...
"You don't have to do this, Em... You..."
"You need to start to chill out, or, I get you out of the case..."
"What? You cannot do that! There's no case! This is not a police matter! This is just you trying to get revenge for what happened to your Dad!" Tobby regretted his words the moment he heard them. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that..."
Emily doesn't say a word. Yes, it was wrong from Tobby to accuse Emily about doing this for the wrong reasons, but, maybe he's not totally wrong. Emily is in a turmoil of emotions right now, and, can you blame her for it? Her father, her only family is right now between life and death because someone shot him. And, that 'someone' is probably working at -A Toys Co. That's why she needs to infiltrate into this company, and, find the culprit...
"This is not about revenge Tobby. This is about doing the right thing, and, put the bad guys behind bars..." Thinking about it, Emily must admit that she has a huge rage growing inside her, a fire, she hopes it will extinguish when she kicks the crap out of the son of a bitch who has put Wayne in a coma...
"You know, Em. It's very probably that the shooter of your Dad, is just one pawn, right?"
"I know... I know that the head of a smuggling organization wouldn't get its hands dirty. The real villain must have hired a hitman, but, if I catch the one who's smuggling weapons. Then, I have higher chances to trace the hitman who hurt my father..."
Tobby takes a deep breath. The thought process is not wrong, but, he's really scared for his friend. He really doesn't want anything bad happening to her. But, the only thing that will happen to Emily today, it's far to be bad...
"I don't need an assistant, Jason!" The blonde pouts. She doesn't need anyone, that's what she has been saying to herself since she was a kid. That's why the idea of an assistant is so aberrant for her...
"Well, too late! She's starting today!" Alison rolls her eyes when Jason announces that the girl should arrive at any second. "At least till your arm gets better, let the girl help you..." Alison pouts, still unwilling to give in, but, when Jason mentions that this girl needs the job because she has a sick parent. Alison doesn't find it in her heart to say 'no' or any arguments to deny the job to someone who seems to need it...
"Aria asked me to hire her in anything I could. But, we don't have any vacancy right now. If you don't agree to this, I'll not have another option, but, to send her home..." Jason dramatically says with puppy sad eyes, and God! How good he's, to make people feel bad!
"Fine, she can assist me in my day-to-day. But, just till my arm heals, okay?!"
"Thanks. Ali! I knew I could count on you! Aria will be so happy to know that we can help her friend..."
Maybe Jason's motivation has more to do with making points with the tiny Aria Montgomery than helping someone in need. But, regardless of what are the real reasons, this is happening... now. Will they tag along just fine? Or, will this be an unbearable situation? Alison has no idea of what to expect. And, anxiety starts to kick...
"I need air..." Alison says out of the blue, and, gets out for a moment.
Waiting for the elevator to show up, Alison keeps her look down till the doors open. And the moment she looked up, and, her eyes stared at the brunette who's standing in front of her, it's at that moment, that Emily realizes that she has never seen more beautiful eyes in her life...
"Wow..." It's the only thing that comes out of Emily's mouth while the two girls stare at each other in the eyes, for the first time in their lives...
Yeah, you can't fight love, especially when this look at you, straight in the eyes... with its blue eyes...
