Hi, sorry for my lack of update, but, I'll resume my ongoing works on the following days. Just one more chapter to go on this. Hope you like it, take care...
CH 15
"I just don't believe in her word anymore..."
It's heartbreaking to say it and even more to hear it. Nothing hurts more than losing the trust of those you love and right now Emily has lost Alison's trust. And, Wayne knows what it feels to stop trusting in people. After his wife walked away, leaving without saying goodbye, Wayne pulled himself out of the world and shut down so no one would break his trust again. But, just because you turn your back to the world, that doesn't mean the feelings fade away.
"Feelings… Do you still have feelings for my baby girl?"
Alison deeply exhales, she wants to say no, but she will be lying if she denies she has strong feelings for the brunette. Which makes this even worse because one part of herself wants to just jump in Emily's arms while another part of herself is trying really hard to pull away. But, can she? Can she really come back to be the heartless woman she was before Emily?
She has always been a good person but her heart didn't know how to work before Emily, she didn't know the real meaning of feeling something, till Emily came into the picture. And, it amazed her like when you watch a rainbow for the first time. Alison was in a very dark place, a cold place when like a rainbow, Emily appeared in front of her eyes and just like that, her world wasn't cold and dark anymore. Everything changed for good. For the first time in her life, Alison knew how happiness really felt, how life could be so beautiful with love in it. And, that's why, it hurts so much, because the idea that all of that wasn't real, it's heartbreaking.
"Sometimes, I wish I could turn back the clock and to make things go back to how they were"
"That's naive, Alison. That's not how life works…"
The blonde knows he's right. But, she doesn't not know how to move forward. She wants to erase this sadness, this pain in her heart and, maybe that's what she's getting wrong because…
"Alison. I'm not a great dad. I'm far from being a perfect man. I've failed in so many things in my life, especially in questions of the heart. And, I've no authority to tell you what to do, but, if I may tell you something, it would be to not walk away from the pain"
The blonde frowns, she doesn't understand what he means and that's why Wayne looks at her, straight to the eyes as he says...
"No one likes the pain, Alison. No one wants to get hurt, but, life hurts and that's good. That means you're out there, living. You like it or not, life will be painful, sad even, but it can also be surprising, amazing... happy. And, when you remember the pain, how it feels, you will be able to appreciate better the good moments you might get. So, do not make the same mistakes I did, do not stop feeling just because you're scared to feel pain again. Feel, live and let it all in…"
"Even if it hurts?"
"Even if it hurts. Even if it makes you cry. Feel, Alison. Trust that tomorrow will be better. Believe that the pain you feel today, it will not last forever"
Alison smiles, tears in her eyes, no one has ever given her a pep talk 's nice...
"I know my Emy, she learns from her mistakes. And, if you give her another chance, I can assure you, she will surprise you again. In a good way"
Alison chuckles, she doesn't know if she can trust in his words. But, there's hope, that's all she can say for now. They keep talking, sometimes even laughing. And for the first time, Alison knew what it felt to have a Dad.
It's scary how fast life moves, how things change. And, we might want to stop the change, but we can't. We shouldn't. No one should get stuck in one place. Everything changes, even us, in ways we never see them coming…
"OH My GOD!"
Kara mumbles in shock as she sees the two bars on the pregnancy test she just took. Time freezes for a fraction of a second and then, joy. Pure joy is what the blonde feels as she jumps and screams all over the bathroom. She's so loud that she's sure it's her neighbor, the one who's knocking at her door, to tell her to shut up. But, the truth is that when she opens her door, it's not her neighbor who's standing there, in front of her.
"Ali?"
"I decided to stop running away from the pain so… I need your help. I need to know who killed my brother and brought me so much pain"
"Ali, isn't that the work of the police?"
"For them, there's no case, they want to make me believe that Jason killed himself but, I knew Jason. He might make bad decisions but he would never kill himself. I know that"
"Ali…"
"I don't have any proof, I don't have it in me to trust in the police right now. But, I trust you, on being a good journalist, always looking for the truth. So, I beg you, please. Help me to find the truth behind my brother's death"
Kara nods, her life is changing for the better. Her world is expanding but that will never stop her from being there for a friend, ignoring the dangers this might bring for them. Because, as painful and beautiful life can be, it also can be very dangerous, especially when you start to dig into the business of bad people like…
"Lex…"
From all the people she was expecting to meet today, Lex wasn't one of them. The happiness which she got from Kara's text this morning, asking her to meet after work, it's far gone as her brother makes himself welcome, sitting on the sofa in the office as if he owned the place.
"Hello Lena. Long time, isn't it, little sis?"
"You're not welcome in L-Corp any more, leave, now"
"Oh c'mon, that's not a way to treat your dear brother, don't you think?"
Lena mocks, 'brother', it has been a long time since she stopped seeing Lex as the big brother she worshipped when she was 5. That young, smart, sensitive boy is gone, it took too long for Lena to finally make peace with it. After all, it was always the two of them against the world, but that changed the moment Lex decided to conquer the world at any cost.
The Luthors are well known for their pervasive presence in high society which rules the world. But, there's nothing more addictive than power. The search for power has always driven Lex & Lena to move forwards. But, contrary to Lex, Lena knows there are lines you should never cross. Otherwise, you lose yourself and become a monster, a tyrant like Lex.
From complotting against the government to be the mastermind behind the worst crimes this nation has experienced. Lena knows very well Lex cannot be redeemed, he's past that line and more than that, he has no intention to change the course of his life. Looking at the devious smirk he has, it's obvious he's planning something evil and, of course Lena has no intention to be part of it, so once again, she asks him to leave. But, he doesn't move, he just watches her with a cold gaze as he says…
"Kara Danvers…"
Lena gets pale when she hears the name of her beloved coming out from the mouth of Lex Luthor.
"She's starting to ask questions she shouldn't ask. Looking for something no one is looking for, so…"
"So, don't you dare to touch her! I swear to God, Lex! You put a finger on her and I'll kill you!"
Lex laughs, he finds them funny, Lena's death threats, he doesn't believe she has it in her. But, you never know what people are capable of doing for love. Love has its strange ways to make us do things we never thought we would do. Maybe that's the main reason Lex is here, giving Lena a warning to keep her lover safe before his darkness decides to hurt her, because behind all that darkness and madness, deep down, he's still that smart, little boy, who loved to play chess with his little sister.
Staring at the chess Lena has in her office, old memories come back to life in Lex's mind, and that's why, before leaving for good, he says as he moves some pieces on the chessboard.
"Move your Queen away from my business, Lena. Otherwise, it will be checkmate for her"
He leaves and all Lena can do, it's staring at the Queen on her chessboard, looking so strong but also so vulnerable to get sacrificed any second.
"Jess, cancel all my meetings. I'm leaving now…"
"What? But, Miss Luthor…"
Lena doesn't give more explanations to her assistant, she just grabs her things and leaves the office as soon as she can. It's rare for her to leave like this. But, like we said before, life changes, we change. All change. And, all we can do is accept how our world changes, even if we don't know what those changes might bring.
"Emily! Someone is here to see you!"
The brunette frowns, she has no clue who might be looking for her, but she's grateful for the break from all the paperwork she was doing. Standing up from her chair, Emily whines because her back aches, and if she's honest, all her body aches. Her hormones are over the top, her feet are swollen and for a strange reason she cannot understand, she's craving for that sandwich, which has been in the fridge of the police station since last year's Xmas party.
Great! Her crazy pregnancy hormones might lead her to get food poisoning. She needs to eat something, and she's not the only one who knows that…
"Ali?!"
"Hi, I brought you lunch"
Emily smiles, not just because it seems delicious whatever Alison made for her, but because she's here. Alison came to see her. And, just like that, the brunette forgets how much her body aches.
"It's a beautiful day to eat outside"
Alison nods to Emily's comment, the idea of a picnic in the park close to the police station, it was starting to feel really great. The sun was shining, there was a fresh breeze and the food. Damn it! She did it again, Alison nailed it again for giving Emily what she needed without asking for it. And, the brunette sadly chuckles as she chews her food because it makes her sad to know how perfect Alison is for her and yet, she cannot say it and do something about it.
Emily has no hope to be able to conquer Alison's heart again. The blonde might be here today, but deep down, she knows Alison is just compelled to be here for the baby. So, no matter how perfect moments like this might look, Emily cannot allow herself to dream with more than that because she broke Alison's heart and there's no turning back from that. And, realizing that things will never be the way they were, a tear drops down from Emily's eyes as she sobs and eats in silence. Because this is, this is all she can get from the blonde… or maybe not…
"Emily…?"
Alison says her name with tenderness as she softly wipes away the tears from Emily's cheek, replacing them with the warm touch of her hand, which is caressing the brunette's cheek as she asks why she's crying, to which Emily replies…
"Because I want nothing more than things to go back the way they were…"
She locks eyes with Alison, those beautiful blue eyes which are looking at her with concern and apprehension. What would she give to make those blue eyes look at her with nothing more than love, once again? Emily wonders as she decides to let it all out…
"I wish for nothing more than go back to the days when I was your assistant, and you loved me because of it"
"I didn't fall in love with you because you were my assistant, following me around all the time. I fell in love with you, because for the first time in my life, you made me feel something… something wonderful..."
Emily sobs, she knows the feeling, she felt the same, when Alison came into the picture, the blonde also made her feel things for the first time in her life. Maybe that's why it is so hard to leave that behind, but…"
"It's naive to think we can go back to where things weren't complicated and messy, Emily…"
"I know… I know…"
Resignation, giving up. There's nothing else to do, it's what Emily thinks till, the blonde who has been trying to pull away from her, finally decides to move forwards with her and, not without her.
"Ali…?"
The brunette looks surprised when Alison softly kisses her on the lips. It was quick, a little peck which meant just one thing…
"Em, we cannot erase the past, we cannot forget how much pain we have caused to each other, but we can learn to live with it and be better because of it. Together…"
"Together?"
Alison nods, interlacing their hands as she whispers…
"Together…"
Emily grins, a spark of joy spreads all over her aching body and pushes her to crash her lips against the soft lips of the blonde, once again. This time, the kiss wasn't soft, it was deep and hungry for more.
"Ali…"
"Yeah?"
"Take me home…"
"Now?"
"Yes, I need you, I want you now…"
Alison tries to repress the moan coming from her own desire, but she can't, she's craving for Emily too. And, that's the main reason why they don't make it so far, till the car. Pushing down the driver seat as much as they can, Emily climbs on top of Alison, maneuvering on pushing down their lower clothes, so they can finally connect again.
"Hmmmnnn…."
The blonde almost cum the moment Emily shoves her inside. It was raw, fast and sloppy. Their hips move, up and down in a desperate way. Their position is a little uncomfortable, especially because Emily's back head hits the top of the car each time she moves up, but, it's okay, she doesn't care, all she cares about is to hear how Alison groans and huffs when she gets closer to her climax. All Emily cares about is to see how those beautiful blue eyes go blank when the blonde finally explodes in the warmth of Emily's insides.
"ALI!"
It ended too soon, Alison can last longer and she was planning to make the next round longer when they heard a knock on the window.
"Crap!"
Both girls look scared when they realize there's a cop standing there, beside them. Of course, someone would notice them, they made no effort on being discreet. And, Emily can only imagine how this will look on her file as a police officer, but, it's okay. She doesn't regret it, especially when she turns her gaze towards Alison and sees once again, how the blonde stares at her with nothing more than love and devotion.
"I love you…"
Alison smiles, she leans forwards to kiss the brunette as she says…
"I love you too…" (kiss) "I never really stopped loving you…"
The love has always been there, that's why Emily deepens on the kiss as much as she can. It was supposed to be a simple kiss to bolster their declaration of love. But, when their lips connect again, when their tongues start to dance together. Their bodies react to it, especially because they are still connected and more than ready to do it again, but when they get lost in their lust once again, their hips stop moving when they hear the knock on the window again, this time, followed by the warning of a friend.
"Geez, Emily! Can you stop acting like a damn cat in heat at least for just one second!"
"Toby?"
The dear cop tries to look away, this was more than awkward for him. But, if he doesn't stop them now, another cop could catch them and it would be worse for everybody.
"Take the rest of the day off, Em, I'll tell them you ate something that made you sick…"
"But…"
"Just go now, before I change my mind about covering your ass. No more public sex! Please! Especially so close to our workplace…"
"Sorry…"
Toby walks away, cheeks red with blush and Emily chuckles, as she's sure she spook her friend for life.
"Em, there's a hotel on the corner of the street…"
"Oh, Really?"
Alison nods, she could drive them home, but she's afraid they might not make it as fast as she wishes. And, Emily is okay with it, because for the first time in weeks, the brunette is finally getting satisfied with her cravings for Alison.
"Ali, harder, harder!"
In the hotel room, the blonde was taking her from behind, drilling like a beast in heat. It was like all the inhibitions, all the fears were gone, and all that remained was the love, the lust they felt for each other.
"Emily!"
Chanting her name over and over as she cum, Alison cannot stop smiling, feeling how good it feels to be milked, squeezed by Emily. They make love more times of what they can count. And when the sun goes down, they lie down too, hugging each other, feeling good for this step moving forwards, because they might not know what the future really holds for them, but, that's okay, they will deal with it, together.
Yeah, moving forwards is never easy, but, thankfully sometimes, we don't have to do it alone. And, when big changes happen in our lives, there's always someone there, to walk us through it, no matter what…
"Kara! Kara! Kara, open the door!"
Like a crazy person, Lena knocks at Kara's door. After the unexpected visit of Lex, the young Luthor was eager to see the blonde reporter, to make sure she was safe and maybe that's why as soon as the door opens, Lena rushes to put Kara between her arms, clinging on her so hard as if her life was depending on it.
"Lena? I thought we said 7pm..."
The CEO doesn't care that she's too early for their date, she needed to feel Kara between her arms. She needed to see with her own eyes that the blonde was okay. And, as much as Lena needed to be with the blonde right now, she has to say something important.
"Kara, I need to tell you something…"
"Me too…"
The blonde detached herself from the hug, walking towards the bedroom with hesitation as she was afraid of something and all Lena can think it's that this fear is because of Lex. God damn it! How much Lena desires to be able to kill her brother right now! She knows she doesn't have it on her to pull the trigger, but she wishes she could, so Kara wouldn't be afraid. But, the truth is, Kara is not afraid of Lex, she's afraid of how Lena might react to what she has to say.
"I don't know how to start this conversation, Lee…"
"Geez, Kara, darling, do not scare me, what is it?!"
They sit on the edge of the bed, the blonde playing with her glasses till Lena pleads to stop and tell her what is happening. Kara knows there's no turning back from this, she believes it's good news, but, you never know if your happiness will be the misery of others. So, taking a deep breath, Kara finally walks towards her night table and brings to Lena, an open envelope.
"What is this?"
"A few days ago, I took a test. I wasn't sure how accurate that test could be, so I decided to not say anything till I was sure…"
"Sure about what?"
"I went to Alex for a blood analysis, and, well, now, I'm very sure that I'm…"
Unfolding the paper inside the envelope, Lena finishes Kara's sentence for her…
"Pregnant… you're pregnant…"
Lena reads the result of the lab, science doesn't lie, the blonde is pregnant and Lena stays in silence without reaction as she looks at the piece of paper.
"Lena?"
Is she happy with the news? Is she mad? Will she walk away? Kara has so many fears, so many doubts which vanish as soon as they appear because Lena rushes to hug her and spin her on the air.
"Lena!"
"You're pregnant! We're pregnant!"
Kara giggles, but eventually asks Lena to stop the spinning because it gives her nauseas. So, Lena stops, but she doesn't stop holding Kara between her arms as she leans forwards, so their front heads touch.
"Are you happy with the news, Lena?"
"I'm so happy, Kara…"
"Me too…"
They look at each other, they look down, at the belly where their future will grow strong and safe. Lena chuckles, dreaming already about how it will feel to have the little one between her arms. Nothing can ruin this moment, nothing except…
"Lee, what is the thing you wanted to tell me?"
Kara already shared her news, it was now the turn of the CEO to talk and say what brought her here. And, she should say something, she should talk about Lex's unexpected visit and his threats, but…
"Nothing, darling. Nothing you need to worry about…"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, it's okay…"
Lena hugs Kara one more time and promises…
"Everything is going to be okay. You & our baby will be okay… I promise"
Deciding to not scare the pregnant reporter, Lena decides to deal with Lex on her own. And, make no mistakes, she will recruit all the help she needs, even from the most unexpected places a Luthor might frequent.
"Em, go home, it's late…"
"I know, I will, I just need to read this report again…"
Toby sighs, he gets why the brunette might be obsessed with -A Toy's case, but, the case has been closed, all pointing out Jason as the main culprit and since the police decided to label his death as a suicide; there was no open case to solve and yet, here she was, Emily, trying to find some sense to all of this. Because, Jason's death doesn't look like a suicide for her, someone else was behing the arms trafficking and Emily has a hunch of who this person could be but, will she be able to prove it? No one has ever been capable of putting down such a dangerous man, not till today, when someone drops a file in front of the dear cop.
"LuthorCorp classified?"
After reading the title of the file, Emily looks up and finds no other than the actual CEO of L-Corp, standing in front of her.
"You are…"
"Lena Luthor and according to my multiple sources, you're the only one in the police force who dared to mention my brother's name in the -A Toys case as a possible suspect"
Emily frowns, her testimony in the case was classified, she has no idea how Lena got that information. But, it doesn't matter. Because from now, all that matters, it's that these girls will join forces to keep their hearts safe & sound. The only issue is that their counterparts are doing exactly the same.
"I don't want to bring you problems, Kara"
"It's okay, Ali. I'm in and this is a very important story which needs to go public"
"Yeah, but, are you sure? We're talking about exposing the brother of Lena, your Lena?"
Kara deeply sighs, she knows it might look like conflict of interests but, it's not. And, maybe that's a big part of the reason why she has been keeping this investigation as a secret from Lena. The blonde knows Lena would never help Lex to keep doing bad things but she doesn't want to put the dear Luthor in a difficult position, after all, family it's family.
So, Kara is going solo on this with Alison and Lena is doing the same with Emily. Two teams going after Lex. Will these girls be able to win against the big evil of the city or will they fail? Maybe even losing the only thing they really care… their heart.
