CH 06
"She looks like an angel when she sleeps..." Emily chuckles "She's so cute..."
It will be already one hour ago since Emily rolled over bed so she could be face to face with a sleeping Alison. It might be creepy to just stare at her like this, but, Emily is not sure if she would ever get another chance to be this close with the girl, so, she needs to make the most of it, right?
"You don't care if I take us a selfie, right?" Emily whispers, it's obvious that the sleeping blonde doesn't reply. "I'll take your silence as a 'yes'..." Emily sees no harm in taking a selfie with the blonde. The brunette happily smiles when she looks at the picture of the two of them so close...
"We look so good together..." The brunette always looks good in pictures, she's highly photogenic, that's what her friends always say and, she has a good album of photos to prove it, but for her, this picture with Alison is the best picture she has. Emily's glowing and the only reason to explain such glowing, it's the blonde who's holding her under her sleep. If just Alison could see how she makes Emily glow...
Emily settles the photo as her new wallpaper on her phone and keep staring at the blonde, waiting to see if she's gonna wake up soon, but, nothing happens, Alison is deeply asleep...
'Should I stay or should I go?' Emily wonders, and her mind says just leave now! But, her heart wants to stay, and in the first time in her life, Emily is choosing to do what her heart wants...
The brunette is softly mapping Alison's face with her fingers, she softly clears Alison's face when she removes the golden curls that are covering her face. She smells like vanilla, Emily notices. And, somehow, she feels like this will become her favorite aroma from now on...
Her aroma, her smile, her eyes, her hair, her lips... Emily starts to make a list of all the things she likes about Alison. And, the list seems to have no end because the brunette always finds a new little detail to put in it. This is so new territory for the brunette. She has never had a crush before, in her life, and, it's not like if she didn't have options. Lots of boys and girls have crossed her path more than once, and, they have tried to catch her heart, but, no one had succeeded... till Alison appeared in her life...
There is no such thing as love at first sight. That's what Emily always used to say when she watched a romantic movie with her friends. And, it's true that she never believed that someone could fall in love with just one look... but, she was wrong... so wrong... From the first moment they met, Emily knows that she fell in love with Alison, with just one look... just one gaze of those beautiful blue eyes was enough to fall in love with the blonde. It seems unreal, but, it's true... Just if the blonde could feel the same... just if Alison could reciprocate her feelings... but...
"You like that doctor, isn't it?" Emily sadly asks to a sleeping Alison. And, the blonde can't answer right now, but Emily is sure that she knows the answer to her question. Alison stares at the doctor the same way she looks at her. And, it's sad, it's the perfect reason to kill these butterflies that she's getting from Alison, but, even if the blonde seems to be interested in someone else. Emily cannot stop these feelings she's getting for her...
"What is so great about that doctor, heh? I'm prettier! Can she swim like a mermaid? I'm sure she cannot! There's no better swimmer than me! Can she protect you? I'm afraid she cannot! She doesn't have the same training than me, I'm your Killer! Does she think about you all the time? I don't think so, not more than me, that's sure. You're in my mind 24h/24h, 7/7! No one cares about you as much as me, so, you should forget about that damn doctor and start looking at me!" Emily pouts, it's adorable how she tries to establish that she's a better catch than the other girl...
Emily wishes that Alison could see how she feels about her. But, even if Emily's feelings haven't reached yet Alison. The blonde definitely feels something when the brunette softly caresses her face...
No one has ever tenderly touched her like this, no one has ever tenderly looked at her the way Emily is looking at her right now. And, that's because Alison has never experienced 'love'... the sweet taste of someone's love. And, maybe that's why Alison freaks out the first moment she opens her eyes...
"E-E-EM-EMILY?!" The blonde stammers her words, when she moves backwards till she accidentally fall from bed.
Emily chuckles, it's so cute to see Alison's face so flushed. Her porcelain skin gets red, so red because the brunette was so close, looking at her with so much tenderness. Alison's heart is pounding so fast, and, it's not because she hit the cold floor. It's because she wasn't expecting to wake up with Emily in her bed! How it's that the first thing she sees when she wakes up, it's Emily?! Alison's mind is lost for a moment till she recalls that it's her fault that they are here...
"Hey, are okay?" Emily asks, sticking out her head just enough to stare at the flushed blonde who's lying down on the floor...
Alison nods, she has no idea of what to say, she realized that she brought Emily home without asking her approval. And, it was wrong, she knows it, but, she didn't want to wake her up. Is Emily mad at her? Alison wonders. And, Emily has all the reasons to be upset with Alison. But, she's not upset, she doesn't look mad at all, in the contrary, she even looks happy, glowing...why? Alison wonders...
"I... I..."
"You really helped me to process my pain last night. Thank you, Ali..."
Alison wasn't sure what to say, but, hearing Emily's words, it makes her smile. Specially when the brunette gives her a nickname. 'Ali', it feels nice, it feels good, so damn good that she dares to do the same...
"You're welcome, Em..."
The brunette smiles when the blonde grants her a nickname. The brunette is loving it already so much. It's amazing how happy can make you one simple word. Sometimes a nickname signifies so much to our hearts... especially when someone you love, gives it to you...
"Darling, you're still here.." Kar giggles when the first thing Lena does when she wakes up, it's to call her 'darling'...
"Of course. I'm here. Someone has to take care of you, and, your wounds..." The blonde reporter softly touches Lena's face, and, they smile when their eyes meet. Kara spent the night, she didn't want to leave Lena alone, especially when she's hurt. And, who's Lena to say 'no' to such request?
Yesterday, Kara confessed that she's falling in love with Lena. And, the CEO might haven't said it back or, put in words what she feels. But, with all the kissing they shared last night, the blonde reporter is pretty sure that she's not indifferent to Lena.
Beside kissing and cuddling they haven't done anything more. This it the first time that Lena has started something in such low pace. She's not a fan of going slow, she's always going directly to what she wants, which is, most of the time, just sex. But, not this time... not with Kara... not with this sunshine who makes her touch the stars just with one smile...
Lena happily smiles just recalling how warm felt her bed last night because Kara was there... the blonde reporter is like a human heater, her body temperature is really warm. Lena wonders if she might get even warmer under other circumstances. Lena immediately shakes her head, trying to shake off any lustful thought...
"You're getting red. Do you've a fever...?" The blonde reporter wonders, and, Lena shakes her head because it's not fever what she has, it's just this damn desire for her...
"I made pancakes, what do you say if you get out of this bed and we take breakfast outside? It's a beautiful day?" Lena nods with the proposition. The first thing she tries to do, it's to change of clothes, but, the blonde stops her, she says that it's mandatory to eat breakfast in its pajamas. Lena chuckles, she has never heard about such dress code for breakfast, but once again, she cannot say 'no' to Kara...
And, that's how Lena finds herself, for the first time in her life, taking breakfast in pajamas, outside on the terrace. Krypto is running all over the yard. Hipper happy, he loves having so much free space just to himself. And, he's not the only one looking extremely happy this morning, Lena is happy too...
'Am I dreaming?' Lena wonders, because this feels like a dream... a dream from which she doesn't want to wake up... like never. The picture of Kara, setting the table, the dog happily jumping in the background. The sun, touching Kara's skin and making her glow even more... it's just perfect... so perfect that Lena can't believe it's really happening...
"C'mon, sit! We need to eat the pancakes when they're still hot..."
"I'm good with just a cup of coffee, Kara..."
"WHAT?! Hell, no!" The blonde never curses but she cannot avoid it when Lena says that breakfast is just coffee. That's why as soon as Lena sits, she puts a plate with pancakes in front of the dear CEO. Kara even poured maple syrop over them and, draw a smile with chantilly cream over the top of the pancakes...
Lena raises an eyebrow when she stares at the smile of cream over the pile of pancakes...
"Happy panckakes... for you..."
"This is too much sugar, Kara..."
"You need more sweetness in your life, Lena..."
When was the last time she got something more than just coffee for breakfast? When was the last time she ate so much sugar in just one meal?! Gosh! She doesn't want to think about all the calories she can get with just one bite, but, Kara prepared this for her, she even drew a damn smile over the pancakes... she cannot put it in a waste all the efforts of the blonde, right?
"You don't like it...?" The blonde sadly pouts when she sees how Lena hesitates on eating. And, as soon as Lena sees the sad pout of the blonde, she starts devouring the pancakes like if she hadn't eaten in days...
"I love it! Kara! It's perfect! Really yummy!" The dear Luthor tries to make as many compliments as she can while she devoures the pile of pancakes...
"Don't eat so fast, Lena. You can choke..." Kara chuckles, but, feeling happy that she was able to make the other girl eat something. 'My pouting always works...' Kara thinks, and, she keeps a mental note about it, for the next time she needs to get away with something...
This morning, these two ladies are not the only one having a lovely breakfast...
"Em, you cannot eat pizza for breakfast?" Alson chuckles when she finds Emily warming up the pizzas they didn't eat last night at the restaurant...
"Why not? It's food?" Alison rolls her eyes, she can understand that the brunette loves eating pizza, but this is not a balanced meal, especially to start the day. That's why, Alison prepares two bowls of fruit with cereals. And while Alison is cutting the fruit, Emily starts to sing along in the kitchen; she's so carried away by the song that she even grabs a big spoon to use it as her microphone when she starts dancing all around the blonde...
'Another N'Sync song' Alison mumbles to herself. She's smiling when she watches Emily dancing and singing around her. The bowls of fruit and cereal are ready, the pizza is getting warm in the micro-wave. They just need to wait a little longer...
Waiting for the pizza, Alison's feet start to move along the melody Emily's singing. It's because the lyric is catchy? Or, because Alison really likes this song? Who knows, but, when the lyric gets to the part of the chorus, Alison holds the big spoon that the brunette is holding in her hands, and sings in a duo the song, with Emily...
The brunette smiles so much when she gets to hear Alison's angelical voice for the first time. If the blonde was already perfect in front of her eyes, now, she's even more.
They are so carried away singing that they don't put attention to the 'bip' of the micro-wave. Or, maybe they heard it and didn't care. Maybe they just want to keep singing, dancing around with no further music than the one of their hearts.
When was the last time she felt so happy? When was the last time she danced in the middle of her kitchen? Alison cannot remember if she ever felt this happy before. And, to be honest, neither one of them can't imagine of a more perfect morning that the one they are having right now...
Starting the day in such good mood can make a great difference in your life. If you don't believe it, see what is happening in L-Corp...
"Good morning, everyone!" Lena says when she arrives to L-Corp. She says 'hello' to everyone with a big, really big smile. And, no one can believe what is happening. It's not because Lena wasn't polite with her employees, because she's. But today, she's not just polite, she's acting like a perky person, a happy person. And, that has never happened before... Lena is radiating so much joy, that's hard to watch...
"Gosh! Lena, are you drunk?! Did you take too many painkillers?!" Lena's best friend, and CFO, says in shock when Lena gets into the office.
Lena feels offended by the accusation, but, you cannot blame Sam for thinking the worst. Lena is not a perky person by nature. Especially when someone messes up with her coffee order...
"You like it, black with no sugar, Lena. So, how the hell is that you've a mocha with caramel and cream on the top! In your hand?!"
Sam is right, Lena just takes black coffee. And, she would have badly snapped against the new coffee girl who got wrong her order, but then, she remembered what Kara said this morning...
"I... I need more sweetness in my life... so..." The CEO takes a sip of the mocha and says nothing more.
Sam gasps in shock of what she's watching. She can't believe it! What drug did Lena take to act like this? Sam wonders...
"Really, Lena! If you're on drugs! You better tell me right now!" Lena rolls her eyes and, avoids going deeper on the matter when she starts to talk about work.
Regardless of what Sam might think. This mood swing has nothing to do with painkillers, or, drugs. This is just the result of having someone like Kara Danvers in your life. Lena could clarify why she's so damn happy, but, she decides not to do it...
It's not like she wants to hide Kara, or, like if she didn't trust in Sam, it's nothing like that. But, this is the first time in her life that someone makes her feel so damn happy. Kara is bringing so much color in the grey life of Lena. It's like the sun is finally appearing in Lena's life. It's warm, it's beautiful, it's everything. So, yeah, Lena wants to keep her relationship with Kara to herself, at least a little longer...
The CEO of L-Corp is acting different today. And, Lena is not the only one acting different today...
"Miss. DiLaurentis...?"
No reply
"Miss DiLaurentis. Are you listening?!"
"Ali... She calls me Ali..." Alison mumbles to herself with a big smile, she's not putting attention at all on what is happening during her meeting and working hours. She's constantly daydreaming about Emily and the fantastic morning they had today... somehow Alison's can't stop thinking about it, and, she cannot understand why...
There's something in the way Emily looks at her, there's something in the way Emily smiles at her... there's something there... but, Alison cannot put it in words. All she knows it's that she wants more... she wants more of Emily and that's why, at lunch hour...
"Em! Would you... ahm... well... it's lunch time, and, I was wondering if you might want to... you know... ahm..."
Emily chuckles with Alison's ramblings. Taking the lead, the brunette suggests a takeout meal so they can eat in the park, outside. It's a sunny day, it would be a shame to waste it, eating indoors, right?
So, they take something from the food-truck that parks near the office, and, walks to the park. Emily finds a nice spot, close to the fountain, and, they sit together to eat...
"This is nice..." Alison says with a big smile. Closing her eyes, trying to absorb the ray of sun that are touching her face. And, Emily nods, staring at the beautiful blonde who's having lunch with her...
A perfect view is what Emily is looking at, right now. Just staring at Alison, at how beautiful she looks under the sun, it's enough to make Emily forget about her real mission. The brunette completely forgets of her real reason to stand by Alison' side. Because right now, all she wants to do, it's to be here, at her side...
"Something in my face? I got some sauce in my cheek?" Alison asks when she finds Emily, staring at her without a blink. And, the brunette should reply, should say something, any excuse to explain why she's staring at Alison, but, she says nothing. Emily's mind is blank, her heart is pounding and her body is moving forwards by itself, guided by the desire of her heart...
"E-E-EEEE-EMILY?!" The blonde says in shock when she sees the brunette leaning dangerously towards her. Alison could step backwards, she could dodge the collision of their lips, but, she doesn't move... Alison doesn't move, she just blushes under the kiss... her frst kiss...
When was the last time you didn't eat alone? When was the last time you yearned for someone's company? When was the last time someone came into your life and changed it, everything...? Even you? Little details like a nickname, a meal, a smile, a kiss... little details are the things that make you fall in love with someone... even without noticing it. And, love wasn't part of the plan, love wasn't a goal for them... but, love is here, fluttering around them... around those who thought they were living without a heart...
