Kara was bouncing with excitement; she and Lena had an actual date. J'onn and Alex swore they would cover any emergencies so they could be alone and without interruption. She could barely concentrate at the meeting as her mind kept wondering to what she had planned for herself and her beautiful CEO.
"Am I boring you ponytail?" Snapper demanded breaking Kara out of her thought as she noticed everyone including James and Snapper were glaring at her.
"Umm sorry," she said as she gave him a fake smile.
"Hmmp," he mumbled as he continued the meeting.
"Are you okay?" James asked as he caught up to Kara after the meeting.
"Just thinking," Kara told him as she sat at her desk.
"About?" James pushed.
"Lena of course," Kara beamed.
James just shook his head as he walked off.
Kara continued smiling as she worked on her paper, she stared at the clock willing it to move as she would be having lunch with Lena at twelve and it was only ten.
"Ponytail a word," Snapper demanded as he stuck his head out of his office.
Kara frowned as she followed him and sat across from him at his desk.
"I don't know what has you so distracted but it had better not get in the way of your work."
"It won't sir," Kara assured him.
Snapper nodded as he waved her off.
Kara just rolled her eyes as she went back to her desk and continued her paper her eyes glued to the clock. At twelve she closed her laptop, "finally," she mumbled.
"Take you to lunch?" James asked as he sat on the edge of her desk.
"I'm having lunch with Lena," Kara told him as she grabbed her purse and left.
James frowned as he watched her go.
Lena was finishing up some paperwork when her door opened and Kara walked through holding two bags and some bottled waters. "Hey you," she beamed as she got up and walked towards her, kissing her quickly before sitting down on the couch.
"Is it weird that I have been looking forward to this all day?" Kara asked with a blush as she handed Lena her food.
Lena's heart swelled at Kara's confession. "I have to," Lena replied honestly as she took a delicate bite of her salad.
Kara beamed as she bit into her burger.
"So since you won't tell me what you have planned tonight, can you at least tell me how to dress?" Lena asked with a smirk as she opened her water.
"Warm," was all Kara gave her as she finished off her food.
Lena playfully rolled her eyes, "fine fine be that way."
Kara frowned as she checked her watch, "Snapper wants me back early, I will see you tonight," she said as she kissed Lena quickly before bolting for the door.
"I love you!" Lena called. She laughed when she heard Kara yell it back. She shook her head as she gathered the empty trash and disposed of it before getting back to work.
Kara was met with an angry Snapper when she arrived back at Catco.
"Where have you been?" he snapped as he turned to walk, leaving Kara to follow after him.
"I was at lunch?" Kara said confused as she followed.
"I need that paper by eight Danvers," he growled.
"I'm almost finished," Kara pouted.
"Which means it's probably rushed," Snapper told her as he stopped suddenly causing Kara to almost collide with him.
"I assure you it's not," Kara snapped getting a little irritated.
"We will see," he said as he went into his office and slammed the door.
"We will see," Kara mocked causing James who was behind her to laugh.
"Rough day?" he asked as he followed the fuming reporter back to her desk.
"He had better not ruin my date tonight," Kara snapped as she nearly broke her laptop as she opened it.
"Hey calm down, I won't let him," James promised.
"I just hate how he treats people," Kara fumed as she typed away furiously.
"That's just Snapper Carr," James told her as he leaned against her desk.
"Yeah well he's a meanie head," Kara pouted.
James laughed, "I will take care of the meanie head."
"Yeah thanks," Kara mumbled as she continued typing.
It was passing seven when Kara emailed the paper to Snapper; she was gathering her things when he approached.
"Where are you off to in such a hurry?" he asked as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
"I have a date," Kara told him as she turned to leave.
"You know if you are so serious about being a reporter, you shouldn't let your personal life get in the way," Snapper told her.
"My personal life does not affect my job," Kara snapped before she turned and hit the button for the elevator. "Oh and the paper is finished," she said as it arrived.
"She's got potential," Snapper said with a smile as he walked to his office.
Lena was getting dressed when her front door flew open and an angry blonde walked through.
"Ugh arrogant, stupid, glasses wearing, jerk face," Kara mumbled as she flung her purse to the floor.
"Kara baby are you okay?" Lena whispered as she peeked out at her from her bedroom.
Kara's mouth dropped open as she took in what Lena was wearing, she had on a light gray baggy sweater, paired with a pair of dark black skinny jeans, with heeled boots, she looked stunning.
"Kara?" Lena asked again as she tried to get her to look at her.
"I'm sorry I'm fine really," Kara smiled as she took Lena's hands.
"Are you certain?" she asked a small crinkle appearing between her eyes.
"Positive," Kara beamed as she kissed her lips. "Ready?"
"Yes," Lena said as she smiled as Kara opened her balcony doors.
"Up up and away," Kara told her as she took her in her arms.
Lena beamed as she held on tightly as Kara flew them to a hill near the edge of the city; a picnic was set up along with a glass of wine chilling in a bucket of ice. "Kara this is perfect," she cried as she hugged her tightly.
"I wanted tonight to be perfect, I know things have been stressful, but right now it's just us," Kara told her as she popped the cork and poured them two glasses.
"I like the way you think Danvers," Lena grinned as she took a delicate sip.
Kara just blushed as they began to eat.
"So what had you so upset, when you came over?" Lena asked as she and Kara cuddled under the stars.
"Just Snapper, just once I wish we would notice how hard I try," Kara told her as she ran her fingers through dark locks.
"I always meant what I told Jack about you being the best reporter in National City," Lena replied as she closed her eyes as she listened to the steady rhythm of Kara's heart.
"You're a little bias," Kara smiled as she kissed Lena's cheek.
"You have a way of moving people with your work, both as Kara Danvers and as Supergirl," Lena told her as she sat up as a light rain started to fall.
Tears fell from Kara's eyes at Lena's words.
"I wasn't trying to make you cry," Lena frowned as she wiped them away.
"I love you," Kara whispered as they rain began falling harder.
"I love you too," Lena replied as Kara scooped her up as she shot off into the sky.
The two women were freezing and soaking wet as Kara landed in her apartment, "be right back," she whispered as she sped off to her bathroom, she returned with two towels handing one to Lena.
"Thank you," she said as she began drying herself off.
Kara wiped her face as she walked to her bedroom, Lena followed closely behind as Kara grabbed a pair of sweats and a hoodie, and she handed it to Lena as they both changed.
"So I was thinking," Lena begins as her and Kara cuddle together on the couch as a movie plays in the background.
"Yeah?" Kara asks as she runs her fingers through Lena's hair.
"Maybe we should look for our own place?"
"You mean move in together?" Kara asks as her fingers still.
"Yeah I mean if you want to," Lena says fear in her voice.
"Of course I do, I'm in," Kara beams as she kisses the top of Lena's head.
"I will have Jess find some places tomorrow."
"Perfect," Kara beams as they both began to drift off.
"Bedtime?" Kara asks as she stands up and offers Lena her hand.
"Yes," Lena replies as she takes it as she follows Kara to her bedroom, where they both fall asleep in each other's arms.
