PART FOUR
8:45 A.M. Monday, Midvale, Danvers House
Lena woke up happy, rested and very wet and horny. She opened her eyes to find herself not only wrapped around Kara but with her hands inside Kara's clothing. Her left hand was tucked under the waist band of Kara's sleep shorts hand firmly cupping her hip while the other hand was up Kara's shirt along her ribs. It was a very intimate way to wake up alarming Lena for a moment but Kara's arms were wrapped around Lena holding her in place and their legs were entwined. Lena quickly realized they had both been very happy and content with the sleeping arrangements. Kara was still in a deep sleep so Lena kept still and enjoyed the moment.
In the silence of the morning Lena was left to her own thoughts, which at that moment were how nice Kara smelled. Lena couldn't believe her luck in being rescued by Kara the most amazing person she's ever met. The fact they were around the same age and had so many things in common was all an extra bonus. Everything usually was so hard for Lena and when good things happened they were either taken away or they blew up in her face. Kara's arrival in her life and her friendship was like being rescued from a sinking boat. Lena felt like she could breathe and see the sun again. As Lena thought about how lucky she was and how amazing Kara was the thought how beautiful and sexy Kara looked in the morning sunlight danced through Lena's mind shocking her and startling her into a whole new train of thought.
All of a sudden Lena began to wonder if maybe she was attracted to her best friend; like sexually attracted to her friend. It wasn't something she thought about before, she did find some women physically beautiful and attractive but it wasn't something she had ever put thought into. All of her boyfriends and love interests had been people that pursued her; they all happened to be men but it had only been three people so far. In her life romantic interests didn't happen very often since she was always being moved around so much, even crushes were hard to come by being so transient.
What was brand new was that Lena had never found a friend attractive before like she found Kara attractive. Kara was something special, something totally different and Lena liked all of it. She never liked all of it, there was usually something she didn't like, something that made her hesitant and cautious but that was the thing with Kara. Lena thought long and hard about the blonde in bed with her and she could not think of one negative thing about her, she was so nice and kind and generous and giving and sweet and honest Lena could barely believe it. If someone had told Lena about Kara before she had met her, Lena never would have believed it. The fact that Kara didn't treat her any differently after finding out who she really was, the fact she was Lena Luthor was the thing that convinced Lena it was okay to trust Kara completely. If Kara was the girl Lena found herself sexually attracted to then Lena was okay with that. What Lena was worried about was messing up the amazing friendship by being physically attracted to her friend.
Lena stared at Kara's sleeping face in the morning light; Kara looked like an angel with her blonde hair and picture perfect features. Kara was really beautiful and Lena couldn't help but find her sexy too. The way she could dance and move! Plus when Kara sang it was something Lena had never encountered before, she had never had a private audience with anyone who could really sing and Kara could really sing, like really sing. So when Kara sang for Lena it was euphoric. At first Lena thought she had just scored in the best friend department but in Kara's innocence of how the world worked Lena had made it her mission to educate her friend in how things worked. How was she supposed to know those lesson would open up a can of emotional lust worms and get her into a heap of trouble?
Watching Kara sleep Lena reached up with one hand and used her pointer finger to trace Kara's top and bottom lip with a light touch. All Lena could think about was the kissing lesson and how amazing it was to kiss Kara. How the blonde could use her tongue like that surprised Lena, she had never been kissed like that. It felt so good. All the other kisses from her boyfriends were so stiff and stale and there was so much tongue and spit. Watching Kara sleep, Lena knew she wanted to kiss Kara again however she was terrified of ruining their friendship which was the best thing that had ever happened to her. She was going to think long and hard about it yet quickly decided to not act on her feelings and act strictly as Kara's friend to preserve the friendship. Determined not to mess it up, she decided she was going to keep her feelings to herself and keep it as platonic as possible. Why ruin the best thing that's ever happened to her over physical attraction? "No, I'm keeping you for as long as I can." Lena whispered.
"I like that." Kara replied with a sleepy voice and a big smile, her eyes still closed.
"Kara, are you awake?" Lena asked shocked her friend heard her whispered words.
"No, not really but you were talking to me so it pulled me out of the dream I was having." Kara said. The sleepy blond started rubbing her eyes as she slowly woke up.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you up."
"It's okay. I don't mind, it's so comfortable in bed with you like this I could sleep all day. So maybe it's a good thing you woke me up." Kara said with a goofy sleepy smile that made Lena giggle.
Kara didn't seem eager to get up though she just snuggled into Lena more closing her eyes. Lena watched this giggling again, she reached down and began running her fingertips over Kara's ribs tickling her. Kara instantly began squirming and laughing but she kept her eyes closed and kept trying to snuggle into Lena so Lena kept tickling her until Kara burst out laughing loudly and had to squirm away.
"Lena! You're so wicked!" Kara said. She was laughing hard and had to get up out of bed but Lena followed her threatening to tickle her more by wiggling her fingers at her friend. Kara laughed and took off running out of the room. Lena gave chase, her ankle didn't hurt at all anymore she didn't even give it another thought as she ran after Kara.
Lena chased Kara through the house catching her several times and tickling Kara until she screamed with laughter and slipped away again. When they ended up in the kitchen Kara stopped and went to the refrigerator and began pulling stuff out.
"Kara what are you doing?" Lena asked taking a seat to watch her friend pull a dozen items out of the fridge. Kara was pulling out eggs, fruit, juice, butter, bacon and strawberry jam along with a bunch of other stuff.
"I'm hungry. Are you hungry? I need breakfast before we do anything else." Kara said.
"I could eat. What did you have in mind?"
"Everything." Kara said as she pulled out milk and more fruit.
"Wow. Um, I can't cook. How are you at making things?" Lena asked looking at everything.
"I'm learning but I thought we could make a fruit salad. That's just cutting stuff up and I could try to make us scrambled eggs and bacon. I've done that before and Alex showed me a way to make bacon without having to fry it so there's less chance of me burning it."
"Okay. Take the lead and tell me what to do." Lena said getting up and offering her hands to Kara.
Kara grinned with happiness and impulsively hugged Lena which made Lena feel really great. They worked together to make their breakfast, a huge feast of fruit salad, eggs, bacon, toast with jam and juice and milk. They set everything up on the kitchen table and put music on while they ate. They joked about the movie they watched the night before while they ate and planned their day. Kara didn't have anything set up for them so left it up the Lena to decide. Lena just wanted to hang out with Kara but didn't want to stay in the house all day so she asked if they could go for a walk in the surrounding woods. Kara immediately agreed and offered to pack them a light picnic so they could take their time. Lena loved the idea.
Lena ate until she felt like she was going to burst but she was astonished when Kara kept munching away on everything left on the table. She loved Kara's appetite, she had never met another girl who had a big appetite and was honest about it. Kara was not shy about the fact she could eat and Lena loved that. In fact she encouraged Kara to eat until she was genuinely full and it took everything left on the table to get Kara there.
"Oh my goodness Lena, thank you! I can't tell you how long it's been since I've actually been full. I usually get so much negative comments about it I just hide my eating when people aren't looking and I feel like I'm always starving. You're the first person besides my mom who doesn't make me feel self-conscious about it." Kara said. She was sitting back in her chair stretching and looking content.
"Well we made this feast it'd be a shame for it to go to waste. I'm glad you're full, god knows I definitely am. This was amazing. I ate like a queen." Lena said.
"So do you want to head out now? Walk some of this food off?" Kara asked.
"Sure. Hey, I'm going to change back into the clothes I borrowed yesterday and use the bathroom. I'll be back in a little bit." Lena said. She got up drained the last of her juice from her cup then went upstairs to use the bathroom and change. Lena took her time using the bathroom and changing, she was excited to go for the long walk with Kara. She planned on asking, if not begging Kara to sing for her more while they were out. After she was done about to leave the bathroom Lena took a few more minutes in front of the mirror to make sure she look cute, she fidgeted with her clothes and hair until she realized what she was doing and caught herself.
"What are you doing Lena? Remember, that's not the point." Lena told herself shaking her head at her own reflection but silently she was still happy with the fact she did look cute and hoped Kara thought so too.
Lena left the bathroom and stopped to drop her folded sleep clothes off on to Kara's bed before heading downstairs. She found Kara already dressed and ready for the day in the kitchen as she packed up a backpack with a few things like water, chips and fruit. The kitchen was already clean and the dishes already washed and set on a rack to dry. Lena was surprised, she wasn't in the bathroom for more than fifteen minutes but Kara had taken care of everything like she had sat in the bathroom for over an hour.
"Hey you cleaned up! I was going to help Kara." Lena said. She frowned with her hands on her hips giving Kara a stern look but Kara just grinned and shrugged.
"I thought you wanted to go for a walk right away. I didn't think you'd be mad at me for cleaning up for us." Kara said.
"I'm not mad, I just wanted to help." Lena pointed out and Kara nodded in understanding.
"Hey, want to see what I found in my mom's office?" Kara asked as she finished packing up the backpack.
"Sure." Lena replied.
"Look." Kara said showing Lena an old school disposable camera still in its foil package and box. "My mom had three of these in a basket. She won't mind if we use one. Want to take some pictures?"
"I've seen these a few times but with my cell phone camera I never thought I'd ever use one. This sound like fun! Especially since we won't see the pictures until after they're developed." Lena said. She took the box from Kara and opened it. She read through the simple instructions and opened the foil package pulling out the disposable camera. It was plastic and cheap feeling and you had to wind it to take pictures. It was archaic and simple with a view finder you looked through to get a rough estimate of what you were taking a picture of.
"This is so old school! I love it." Lena said with a huge grin. She wound the camera and aimed it at Kara clicking the button just as Kara looked up with a bright happy smile.
"Perfect!" Lena declared then tossed the camera into the backpack.
They grabbed their stuff to head out when Kara rushed into the office one more time. Lena waited in the hallway with the backpack and was surprised when Kara came out of the office holding two pairs of dark sunglasses both very stylish.
"These are my mom's, she won't mind us borrowing them for today. Do you want to wear one?" Kara asked slipping one pair on. Lena nodded yes taking the second pair from Kara while admiring how cute Kara looked in the sunglasses.
"Are we ready?" Kara asked.
"Yes but can I ask a favor for today?" Lena asked as they moved toward the back door.
"Of course Lena."
"Will you sing for me again? Please Kara, I really love your voice. I really want to hear it again if you're willing." Lena asked getting unusually shy about it.
"Okay but only for you. Oh shoot, if I'm going to do that I need something. I'll be right back." Kara said rushing back into the house. Kara was only gone a moment before returning with the IPod and a smaller very portable Bluetooth speaker. Kara slipped both into the backpack and put the backpack on and gestured for Lena to head out first as she reached for the house keys.
"I'll be right behind you." Kara said. She locked the house slipping the keys into her pocket.
It was a beautiful day the sun was shining bright with blue skies over head and very little clouds. The thick coverage of the trees gave them plenty of shade as the day slowly grew hotter. They walked at a leisurely pace as they talked about whatever sprang into their minds, it was very varied weird conversation that Lena loved. They made their way through the woods to a large field walking through it.
"Will you sing for me now?" Lena asked randomly interrupting Kara who had been rambling about how much she loved ice cream.
"What do you want me to sing?" Kara asked pulling out the IPod and speaker.
"Um…could you sing that Scars song by Alessia Cara for me?" Lena asked. She bit her bottom lip and gave her friend a pleading look that made Kara smile and nod yes.
"Um, I know the songs but not all that well so I'm going to play the music so I don't mess up. Cool?" Kara said turning the IPod on and scrolling to the correct song.
"Whatever you need to sing please do it. I don't mind at all." Lena said. She was excited that Kara was so eager to sing for her. A moment later Lena heard the song begin to play very softly from the speaker Kara was holding in her left hand but then Kara began singing the song and Lena completely forgot that the song was playing from the speaker because all she could focus on was Kara's beautiful singing.
They kept walking and by the time they reached the other side of the open field Kara was done with the song. Lena was quick to request another one that she had already heard Kara sing before she asked to heard Kara sing Stone again. Kara happily sang the song then sang the next one Lena requested and the next one until Kara had sang every single song from Alessia Cara's album. Lena didn't want to stop walking afraid Kara wouldn't sing any more. Then they came across a beautiful spot and Kara declared that they were there.
"Where?"
"Our picnic spot, it perfect!" Kara said. She was excited and pulled the backpack off and pulled off the rolled up blanket she tied to the bag. Lena watched as Kara set up the blanket and pulled everything out of the bag then gestured for Lena to take a seat with her. Lena thought it was amazing and special. She took her seat next to Kara.
"We should take a picture together." Lena declared. Kara nodded in agreement, her smile from ear to ear as she retrieved the camera and passed it to Lena. She took a moment to make sure it was ready to go then she put her arm around Kara pulling her close. They posed for a moment both smiling wide as Lena reached out with the camera aiming it at themselves before taking the picture.
"That's great!" Kara said. She let Lena go and took her seat again picking up a handful of chips and snacking on them. Kara smiled brightly at Lena before commenting, "This has been so much fun. I love singing. Getting to do it today has been like stretching a muscle, it feels so good. I don't want to stop to be honest."
"Good. I was hoping you'd sing more for me. And if you're willing maybe add some of those dance moves you were showing me last night." Lena suggested with a shrug. Kara laughed and shrugged back with a grin. "Maybe. We'll see."
"What will it take Danvers?" Lena asked. She leaned forward on the heal of her right hand and pulled her sunglasses down with her left to look at Kara and raise a single eye brow at her. Kara's grin got bigger.
"When we get back to the house you have to play something for me." Kara said.
"Play something for you? On what?" Lena asked. She was confused she didn't remember any musical instruments in the house.
"My mom has an acoustic guitar in the office closet or we could go over to the Emerson's they have a piano. You said you could play, I would really love to hear something." Kara said with a sweet smile.
"Wow, I like how you think Kara. Okay, I can do that. I promise I will play a song for you when we get back to the house. I'm decent on the guitar it was one of the classes step mother insisted on. Now I'm not minding so much." Lena said.
Kara laughed. Lena loved that twinkle in her friend's eyes every time she laughed, so she tried to make Kara laugh more by telling silly jokes and making humorous observations. It worked too Lena had Kara laughing at everything. Lena did take the time to enjoy the feast Kara had packed for them for their picnic, Lena had only seen Kara pack up chips and water but Kara had actually brought them ham and cheese sandwiches on croissants, pretzels, very sweet green grapes, potato chips, strawberries, bottled water and ice cold Strawberry soda. Lena was shocked that the soda and water was so cold considering they had been wandering for almost two hours before they found their picnic spot. Lena was very impressed.
They ate, talked and soon Lena persuaded Kara to get up and put on a show for Lena. Dancing and singing each song for Lena. Kara started off with Outlaws then I'm Yours followed by Overdose with a closing number of Stone again with Lena's insistence that it was her very favorite. Lena openly adored Kara while she was being serenated, gushing over how amazing Kara was. All while silently adoring not just Kara's performance but how amazing she looked while she did it. Lena was blown away by how good Kara looked and sounded, together it was something else. Lena could barely contain the emotion inside while watching Kara sing and dance for her. Lena took a couple of pictures of Kara while she performed which Lena had every intention on keeping.
After the fourth song Kara wanted to take a break, she drank one of the bottles of water then laid down using Lena's lap for a pillow. Lena was happy to make Kara comfortable and immediately began playing with Kara's hair.
"Thank you Kara, your performance was fantastic. Better than the artist herself. If I could have a recording of you singing, I would listen to it all the time." Lena said.
"Lena, you're just being sweet. I know I sound okay, you've convinced me of that but there's no way I sound better than the artist." Kara replied laughing.
"It's true. Your voice is amazing. You could be a singer, like professionally. You know become a pop star or one of those triple threats." Lena said. She was running her fingers through Kara's hair and running her fingernails down Kara's scalp making the blonde making soft cooing noises.
"What's a triple threat?"
"It's an actor dancer and singer, someone who can do it all. You could perform on Broadway or become a popstar or go on TV." Lena said.
"Don't you have to be pretty to do stuff like that?" Kara asked with a frown. Lena reached over with her free hand and began lightly massaging the frown out of Kara's face making the blonde coo lightly again.
"You are that pretty Kara. You're as pretty as any of those actresses or popstars. You could do whatever you wanted to." Lena said. Kara stilled then asked, "Would it be better to be an entertainer or a journalist. I liked what you said before about it, sounds like a hard job but rewarding you know. What's a better use of a life?"
"That's like a serious question Kara. I don't know, my family thinks it's to gain as much power over the world and everyone around them so no one can tell them no and they can get away with whatever. I'd rather help people make this place better instead of worse." Lena said with a shrug.
"You're nothing like your family." Kara said opening her eyes to look up at Lena. Bright clear blue eyes locked with stormy green ones, Kara reached up and caressed Lena's cheek with the back of her fingers then traced Lena's jawline with her fingertips. Lena pressed her face into Kara's hand.
"You're the first person to really see me Kara. It means so much to me." Lena said tears welling up in her eyes. Kara wiped them away and smiled trying to lift Lena's spirits.
"It means a lot to me too Lena. You're my best friend. I've never had that before. Now what would you like to do now? We could go back to the house or stay here longer? Up to you."
"Let's go back to the house and watch a movie." Lena replied not moving. She was enjoying sitting with Kara like this, she didn't want it to end.
"Can we do this while we watch the movie? This is so nice, I really like this." Kara asked looking up at Lena.
"Yes we can, I like this too." Lena replied, she had a content smile on her face. Today was so nice, spending time alone with Kara like this. She was happy and she knew it. Lena took a picture of them together.
A few minutes later storm clouds began to roll in and they finally got up and began packing up their picnic. Lena offered to carry the backpack on the way back and Kara offered to sing whatever else Lena wanted to hear. Lena immediately asked to hear Alessia Cara's whole album all over again. Kara laughed but began singing and Lena loved every moment of it.
They stayed a few steps ahead of the rain making it back to the house before the rain picked up coming down hard. They were laughing and joking as they ran into the house their clothes only lightly wet from the drizzle. Kara helped Lena take the backpack off then said, "I'll get this stuff put away. You should go dry off."
"Can we have popcorn with the movie?" Lena asked heading toward the bathroom.
"Of course, I'll make a big batch." Kara said with a nod of her head as she went into the kitchen.
Lena dried off in the bathroom using one of the towels and on her way out of the bathroom she spotted from the hall through the front window the mailman dropping off mail.
"Hey Kara! The mailman's here, do you want me to grab your mail for you?" Lena asked. Kara had been doing so much for her Lena really wanted to pay her back by at least being a better guest while she was there.
"That would be cool. Are you sure? I could just grab it later, it's no big deal." Kara called out from the kitchen.
"No. I'll grab it. You keep doing what you're doing. I'll be right back." Lena said.
"There's an umbrella by the front door." Kara said.
"Thanks Kara!" Lena said. She grabbed a black umbrella then unlocked the front door and headed back out into the rain. The rain was coming straight down, there was very little to no wind so Lena was able to keep the umbrella directly over her head and keep herself covered. The walk to the end of the driveway where the mailbox was longer than Lena originally anticipated, it was good distance and what little wind there was blowing by every now and again was beginning to chill Lena.
Lena finally reached the mailbox and pulled it open to see a big bundle of mail inside. She reached into grab it when she heard a loud engine coming up behind her, out of the corner of her eyes Lena spotted a truck driving up. In the back of her mind she thought it looked familiar, in that same moment the truck pulled up right behind her and came to a screeching halt. The driver opened his door jumping out just as Lena, startled and scared turned around to see who it was and figure out what was going on. Too late she recognized Randy getting out of the truck lunging at her and grabbing her by her arm and shirt. Lena fought back struggling with him.
"I told you I was coming back for you bitch!" Randy sneered at her. He wrapped his arm around Lena's neck and tried to pull her into his truck. Lena screamed and struggled more. Randy pulled her halfway into his truck.
Suddenly Kara was there breaking the truck door by pushing it open too far then stepping in and pulling Lena and Randy both out of the vehicle. Kara pulled Randy off of Lena, breaking his thumb and twisting his wrist on his left hand as she did so and tossing him back away from his truck onto his ass knocking the wind from him. Lena was stunned and in shock, she knew that this guy was bad news but she never expected him to attack her like that in broad daylight out in public. Lena looked to Kara, the blonde looked angry she was standing over Randy her hands balled into fists at her sides. Lena could tell Kara was holding back, there was something in her friend's expression that told her that.
"You broke my hand! You broke my hand! I'm going to call the cops on you Danvers!" Randy cried from the ground as he clutched his hand to his chest.
"Call the cops on me Randy? We should call the cops on you. You just assaulted my friend and you tried to kidnap her! For all of that you're lucky your hand is all I did." Kara said.
Kara walked over to Randy and grabbed his hurt hand as she asked Lena. "Did he hurt you? Did he hurt you?"
"Only when he first grabbed me." Lena said.
Kara pressed his thumb down and he screamed.
Lena didn't want the cops to come, if they asked her to make a statement they would find out who she was and they would take her in. No, she couldn't have the cops come no matter what Randy did. Lena walked over to Kara and put a gently hand on her friends shoulder. The blonde looked over in her direction there was fire in those blue eyes.
"I think it would be best if Randy just left and didn't come back. Don't you think Kara? Wouldn't that be best for everyone?" Lena said.
"Yeah, you're right." Kara said getting the message. She released Randy and walked away.
"What are you talking about? What's going on?" Randy asked looking at Kara and Lena with confusion.
"Get in your truck and leave Randy. Don't come back to this house. And don't speak about this to anyone. If Kara hears about this in any way, I will personally make sure everyone knows why you came over here in the first place." Lena said kicking Randy to make sure he was paying attention.
"I was just trying to get you in the truck so we could talk. I wanted to show you I was a good guy and that Danvers was giving you the wrong idea about me." Randy argued. Lena did not believe a word of it.
"You're just making it worse. Shut up Randy. Leave. Climb into your truck and drive away. You've been warned. No one messes with my best friend and as you've just found out. No one messes with Kara's best friend either."
Randy didn't say a word he got up climbed into his truck with some difficulty and drove away. Lena and Kara watched all of it in silence but once Randy was gone they both let out a huge breath neither girl realized they had been holding in. They looked at each other both unable to hide the worry they felt for each other.
"Thank you Kara for rescuing me. He came out of nowhere." Lena said.
"I'm sorry I didn't get there faster." Kara said with a serious expression. Lena was confused by the comment but didn't ask what she meant by it. Kara offered her hand to Lena and she took it and they walked back into the house together. They dried off together in the living room when Kara asked.
"Are you sure he didn't hurt you Lena?"
"Yeah, you got to me just in time. I was terrified, he came out of nowhere and it was so fast. So fucking scary, if you had not shown up when you had, who knows what that piece of shit would have done to me. Seriously, the timing you have…Like how did you know being in the kitchen like that I was in trouble?…Which…Kara, I have to ask. How did you do that? I keep thinking about it and I know I was scared and I could have missed it but it's you know a pretty far distance your driveway, so how did you get there so fast? I didn't see you at all, you were just there all of a sudden. So how?"
"I heard you scream so I ran out." Kara answered simply. Lena knew it to be the truth, there was no deception in Kara's voice or face and yet something was still bothering Lena.
"Okay but how did you hear me and how did you run that fast? Kara you were just suddenly there. How did you do it?" Lena pressed.
"I can hear really well and I can run really, really fast." Kara said. Again Lena saw there was no deception there and that confused her even more.
"But Kara, that's the question. How did you run so fast that I didn't even see you? What do you have like some sort of superpower to save people or something?" Lena was totally joking but Kara's face crumpled and she turned away from Lena alarming her completely.
"What? Kara what's going on? Talk to me please!" Lena begged but Kara's face twisted into silent grief scaring Lena.
"I don't want you to think different about me Lena." Kara whispered, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I would never, Kara you're my best friend. I know you, I know you inside so there's nothing you could tell me that could make me feel different about you." Lena said.
A couple of tears fell down Kara's cheeks and the blonde quickly wiped them away. Lena was really scared now. She reached out and hugged Kara asking quietly, "Please Kara talk to me. What is it? I promise whatever it is I will still be your friend."
Kara pulled away from Lena and looked at her with fear in her eyes. Lena began to realize whatever it was Kara was keeping secret was really serious. Serious enough that Kara believed it could change things between them. Lena couldn't imagine what that could be.
"Kara please, you can talk me. Tell me anything." Lena gently pushed. Kara frowned then closed her eyes and took a step away from Lena putting a little distance between them.
"I can trust you right Lena?" Kara asked.
"Yeah, I would hope so. I've trusted you with all of my stuff." Lena answered.
"Okay…but this is…serious. Like really serious." Kara said. She sat down on the couch and Lena followed her taking the seat next to her.
"What's going on Kara?"
"I'm not from here Lena." Kara said.
"I know. You told me that."
"No. I mean I not from Earth, I'm from the planet Krypton. I'm what you would call an alien, like from another planet. My real name is Kara Zor-El." Kara said.
"Wait, you're not human? You're an alien from outer space?" Lena asked her jaw on the floor. Of all the things she thought Kara might say, never in a thousand years did she expect to hear her best friend say this. This was bad, this was a nightmare. How could Kara be one of them?
"Yes." Kara answered with a slight shrug and a terrified expression.
"I…I have to think about this Kara. I have to be honest I've never met an alien before. I've only read about them and heard my brother speak about them. He's the one that's dealt with them a lot. It went from hopeful and peaceful to distrustful and hateful. He's told me again and again that those who aren't human can't be trusted, that they're dangerous." Lena said. She was confused and stared hard at her friend trying desperately to reconcile everything she had been told and the person she knew.
"Do you think I'm dangerous?" Kara asked. The blonde was openly crying while staring at Lena. She couldn't look at Kara for more than a moment, it felt like her heart was ripping into pieces. Lena thought about Kara's question for a long moment, her lips trembled as she shook her head no.
"No. I think you're amazing Kara. You're the most generous, kind person I've ever met. You're so giving and sweet. I forgot people could be like that. I'm so confused Kara. I don't know what to believe and I have so many questions." Lena said. She looked to Kara for answers and the blonde reached out to her taking her hands and Lena didn't flinch or back away. She found comfort and relief in Kara's touch. It made Kara smile and cry more.
"Ask me anything. I have no secrets with you." Kara said.
"Okay. Um, have you ever manipulated me in like any way?" Lena asked. She held on tight to Kara's hands. The blond answered without hesitation, "No."
"Do you give off any like special pheromones? You know to get people to like you or something?" Lena asked. She needed to know if her attraction was her own or something else.
Kara looked at Lena with confusion and blinked a few times with a scrunched up face before asking, "Um, I don't think so. I never heard of any of my people being able to do that. So I don't think I am. I mean, if I could more people would be my friend right? Ha! Um, why do you ask? Did I do something I wasn't supposed to?"
"Ah…" Lena stammered she really didn't want to tell Kara why she needed to know and scrabbled for another response that could deflect from herself. "No, no, no, no just curious is all. So, next question. What can you do? And, well what can't do? Tell me more about yourself Kara. I want to know everything."
"Okay, so I am from the House of El and I grew up on the planet of Krypton…" Kara began then over the next hour and a half she told Lena everything. What happened to her home, how she was sent to watch over her cousin but was knock off course and arrived after him. How she ended up with the Danvers and how she's learned of her new abilities on Earth, abilities she did not have on her home world. Along with, how she was adjusting to life in her new home.
Lena was totally captivated and fascinated with Kara's story, she realized she was wrong about aliens and she was wrong about her initial reaction to learning who Kara really was. Kara wasn't a bad person, just a person from someplace else. Lena's feelings for Kara only grew stronger and by the time Kara was done sharing her tale the only thing Lena had to say was.
"I hope you keep helping people Kara. You rescued me twice now. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. The world could use someone like you. Someone with a good heart and the abilities to make a difference, you could change things."
"So, you're still my friend?" Kara asked.
"No, I'm your best friend." Lena corrected her. Kara reached out hugging Lena; the brunette hugged the blonde back as tight as she could.
"Hey, I'm starving. I'm going to make us some snacks for the movie. That's if you still want to watch a movie with me?" Kara asked getting shy again. Lena thought Kara was so cute when she was shy like that; Lena wanted to kiss Kara again but caught herself.
"Yes we are still watching the movie. Can I help you with the snacks?" Lena asked.
"Yeah, that would be fun. Have you ever made popcorn in a pot on the stove before?" Kara asked with a huge excited smile.
"No, will you show me?" Lena asked.
"Yes!"
8:25 P.M., Monday, Midvale, Danvers House
Kara was really, really happy. She was sitting on the couch with Lena starting their third movie that day. They were cuddling after eating a huge feast for dinner. They had started with snacks of popcorn and pretzels with peanut butter during the first movie after their intense conversation. Then when they were ready to put a second movie on Mrs. Emerson called to let Kara know she was coming over to drop dinner off. Tonight it was Lasagna, Kara was excited. Mrs. Emerson had made Kara her own Lasagna in its own pan that was big enough to feed six. When Mrs. Emerson dropped it off along with a loaf of French bread she made sure to tell "Lisa" hello and Lena made sure to give Mrs. Emerson a hug before the older woman left. They decided to just eat while watching the second movie instead of pausing to eat in the kitchen. Soon the lasagna was gone and the bread eaten. It was a fantastic meal that left them both stuffed.
Kara was trying to watch the movie but her gaze kept drifting back to her friend. She couldn't believe her luck. She told Lena everything and Lena was still there. Lena was still her friend and would continue to be her friend. Kara never thought she'd ever be this lucky. Family was one thing but friends that hung around and stuck by you? She had no luck with that so far, she had begun to believe she'd never have that at all. Kara could not stop staring at Lena, she had already found the brunette incredibly beautiful and intensely attractive but now that Lena accepted Kara completely as she really was Kara found Lena so much more attractive. Kara kept noticing enticing aspects of Lena's face and body; she kept catching herself staring at Lena's lips, her eyes and her hands only to snap out of it and desperately try to remind herself it was her friend she was staring at.
As the movie progressed Kara also noticed she was drifting toward Lena on the couch, they both were. They kept reaching out toward each other to touch one another, to play with each other's exposed skin or to partially lie upon each other. However, instead of just staying like that comfortable lying upon each other, Lena would only stay like that for a brief time then get up and move back to the far end of the couch. Kara was a little confused, she thought they both liked being close to each other and yet her friend kept putting distance between them. Kara grew suspicious that Lena was keeping her distance on purpose and aimed to test her theory.
"Hey Lena, I really want to stretch out on the couch. Will you lay with me?" Kara asked.
"Sure." Lena replied.
Kara moved and put her head on the side she had been sitting on and Lena did the same until Kara said something. "Hey, I meant will you lay with me like on the same side. I feel so far away from you."
"Oh! Yeah!" Lena said. The brunette got up and rushed over lying down with Kara making sure to lie halfway on top of Kara so they could cuddle very close as they watched the movie.
"Thank you Lena. This is what I needed." Kara said in a whisper holding Lena close.
"You're my best friend Kara, I love you." Lena said. The brunette raised her head enough to kiss Kara on the cheek then lay back down with her cheek on Kara's chest.
"I love you too Lena." Kara said. Her heart felt like it was going to burst she was so happy.
Cuddling on the couch, Kara couldn't help but touch the length of Lena's back with her fingertips running them up and down under Lena's shirt. Lena did the same to Kara along her ribcage under her shirt tickling her but teasing her in a very weird wonderfully pleasant way that made Kara's toes tingle. The longer they touched each other the more Lena slowly moved and shifted over Kara until she was laying directly on top of Kara with her face pressed into Kara's neck. Lena shifted and moved putting her leg in between Kara's and using both arms to lift up. With Lena's leg pressed close to Kara's center, it made Kara ache between her legs as did the sensual way Lena lifted her body off of Kara's so they could see each other.
Lena stared into Kara's eyes for a long moment, Kara could swear Lena wanted to kiss her but then Lena suddenly announced. "I need to take a shower."
Lena climbed off of Kara and rushed upstairs. Kara sat up watching her go with total confusion.
Kara could hear Lena searching for her sleep clothes in the bedroom and a towel in the hall closet then go to the bathroom and shut the door. Kara tuned Lena out and lay back on the couch to stare at the ceiling, she was totally confused. She had no idea of what just happened with Lena. She wondered if she did something wrong? Did she mess up her friendship somehow?
Kara heard the water in the shower turn on and the even though slightly faster than normal heartbeat of her friend in the bathroom; her mind was still on the puzzle of what she could have done wrong to make her friend flee the room like that. She was really worried she had messed everything up. Then she heard something that caught her attention, Lena's heartbeat upstairs was speeding up. She didn't mean to listen in, was trying to give Lena her privacy but when her heart rate sped up like that Kara listened in to make sure she was okay. That's when she overheard Lena's very soft moan.
"What?" Kara whispered. She couldn't help but listen in more, and then she heard Lena moan again. And Lena's heartbeat picked up a little more. Kara began to wonder what Lena was doing. Then Kara heard another soft moan followed by a low whispered, "Deeper." And Kara blushed a bright red, she suddenly knew exactly what Lena was doing and suddenly every beat of Lena's heart was play by play for Kara.
Lying on the couch Kara listened to Lena, she was hooked, she couldn't stop she was so turned on. Kara unbuttoned her jeans and slipped her hands inside touching herself. The more excited Lena became, the closer to climax Kara got then when she heard another whispered "Deeper." Kara orgasmed.
Once she had, her mind cleared and she realized what she had been doing and was suddenly filled with shame. She was supposed to be treating Lena like a friend not an object of lust. Kara left the house and went for a run. She used her hearing and her super speed to do a few laps around the area before returning to the house just as Lena was getting out of the bathroom. Kara was totally casual upon her return to the house, acting like nothing weird had happened instead began cleaning up the living room of all their dishes and bowls.
Lena came downstairs dressed in her sleep clothes and started helped Kara take everything into the kitchen. "Hey Kara, I'll take care of this if you want to go take a shower."
"Okay. Thank you Lena." Kara said.
Lena took over cleaning the living room and cleaned up the dishes while Kara went upstairs to shower. She gathered her clothes first then hung out in the bathroom for a little bit while the water got hot. Kara stood under the water for a little while it helped wash away the shameful feeling but not the confusion. She was in a low mood over it that she couldn't seem to shake so when she emerged from the bathroom she was ready to go right to bed. Only Lena was still downstairs, watching TV from what Kara could hear.
Kara went downstairs to tell Lena she was going to bed but found the living room empty but a movie still playing on the TV. Annoyed Kara paused and used her hearing to listen for Lena, she heard Lena's heartbeat and followed the sound until she found Lena in her mom's office.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Kara asked. She found Lena sitting at her mom's desk going through one of the desk drawers.
"You wanted me to play a song for you. I went looking for the instrument. I found it in the closet like you said. Then I saw you're mom's set up and I wondered if she had all the accessories." Lena said. The brunette was still digging around in the large drawer.
"For what?" Kara asked. She stepped inside and saw the guitar case sitting on the floor.
"To record you singing for me, you're mom has the microphone and speakers and we just need to download the program we need and we're good. We can burn our own CD." Lena said. The brunette was really excited.
"Really? That would be fun! Do you need my help?" Kara said.
"Yes."
Kara helped Lena get into her mom's computer so they could download the program they needed and set up everything else and in a short time they got it all set up to record voice and music. Soon Lena declared, "Now we just need to decide what you're going to sing."
"I'll sing if you accompany me on guitar. I want to do this right, with the both of us together like it should be." Kara said.
"I totally agree. I'll need a little time to practice. Okay so what song should we do?" Lena asked.
"If we're going to record a song and it's for us. What should we do? What's our song?" Kara asked.
"What is our song?" Lena asked not to Kara just out loud. She was deep in thought then she snapped her fingers and said. "I've got it! Our song is Stone by Alessia Cara. That's the song we're going to do."
"I love it!" Kara completely agreed with the choice.
"Hey, I know it's not that late or anything but could we go to bed Kara? I'm exhausted." Lena asked reaching out to Kara and taking her hand tugging on it to pull Kara close.
"You're reading my mind. I was going to tell you the same thing." Kara said.
"I can help you lock up." Lena offered.
Lena did help Kara check the doors making sure everything was locked and turned off before going upstairs to bed. Lena followed Kara into the bedroom and waited until Kara climbed into her bed. Lena didn't ask to join her instead she quietly stood alongside biting her bottom lip as if torn about saying something. Kara decided to lift the blanket up silently inviting Lena to join her which the brunette did.
Lena snuggled up to Kara reaching out and wrapping her arms and leg around Kara's body. At first Kara tensed up but it felt so good to have Lena this close, she like it so much only at the same time it caused that confounded tingling between her legs to start up. Kara was so confused. The only thing she was sure of was that she wanted to keep seeing Lena, she was totally serious when she said she loved Lena. She was very important to Kara.
"Thank you for trusting me today Kara, I know that couldn't have been easy to trust me of all people." Lena said. She had her face pressed to Kara's chest, as if she were listening to Kara's heartbeat.
"Of all the people in the world Lena, you're the one I trust." Kara said.
Lena hugged Kara tighter then looked up and kissed Kara on the cheek. When Lena pulled back Kara leaned in kissing Lena this time on the cheek. Kara couldn't help but rub her cheek against Lena's as she pulled back to lay down again.
Kara wanted to kiss Lena on the mouth like they did before but not as practice, for real. Kara wanted Lena to press her body against her own like she did earlier until the tingly demanding sensation between her legs was satisfied. As it was, her body felt like she was sitting on an electric currant. She really wanted to say something to Lena, to ask permission to kiss her again but she was terrified of running the friendship and getting turned down. What was killing her was the way Lena kept looking at her, with these big deep green eyes and those perfect pink lips in a conflicted expression that said uncertain desire.
Lena settled back along Kara left side in the bed, she reached over using her right hand to trace light circles on Kara's stomach. The teasing of her skin along her stomach was torturing Kara in a way she had never experienced before. She felt herself get wet and the tingling sensation get so intense it almost felt like her head was throbbing and every touch of Lena's fingers on her skin burned. After Kara lost track of time and it began to feel like an eternity of torture, Kara broke. She turned to Lena in the darkness, licked her lips and asked in a whisper, "Lena?"
"Yes. Kara?" Lena's voice sounded a little deeper, huskier and so close to Kara's ear. It made shivers run up Kara's spine, she felt like she was losing control.
"Um…" Kara stalled, there was no way she was just going to come out and ask for what she wanted. Kara didn't want Lena to know how her feelings were changing when she was supposed be just a friend, she needed to come up with some sort of excuse to explain her need. Then it came to her.
"Do you think we could go over the whole kissing and making out thing again? I don't know if I got it down as well as I thought I did. I would really like to make sure if you're willing, you know to show me again."
Lena bit her bottom lip then shifted in bed until she was lying mostly on top of Kara; she smiled sweetly down upon Kara as she said. "For you, anything."
"Are you sure? You don't have to." Kara said. She made sure to look Lena in the eyes and the brunette reached up cupping Kara's face with her hand and pressed her forehead to Kara's as she said, "I want to."
They lingered with their lips barely touching for the longest moment. Kara took the leap and pressed her lips to Lena's s seemingly taking away their last bit of hesitation as both of their hands began to wander over each other as the kiss grew deeper with a lot of tongue. Lena straddled Kara pressing one thigh up into Kara center as she grew aggressive with her kisses all while running her hands through Kara's hair. Kara loved every moment, she felt like she was melting into a puddle of euphoric feelings.
They didn't bother with speaking or giving directions or keeping up the pretense of lessons they just made out grinding on each other with slowly increasing intensity. Lena broke the kiss to lick and suck on Kara's ear lobe and Kara couldn't contain the moan that instantly escaped her. Lena stopped and looked to Kara.
"Are you okay?" Lena asked.
"I'm great. I really, really liked that. Can you do that more?" Kara asked.
"Okay." Lena replied with a big eager smile.
Lena started using her tongue on Kara's ear and neck and the demanding tingling between Kara's legs turned into a demanding throb that was making her so wet she was worried Lena would feel it. Kara gave Lena's butt a light squeeze and Lena moaned, Kara felt Lena's moan between her legs and the urge to kiss Lena again overwhelmed her. Kara sought out Lena's mouth and kissed her deeply until the world began to spin. They kept making out and grinding on each other's thighs. The alluring sound of Lena's fast beating heart combined with Lena's slight panting helped push Kara to the edge of orgasm. Then Lena reached up and began groping Kara's breasts through her shirt and Kara tipped over the edge orgasming.
They both stopped what they were doing and opened their eyes; Kara was shocked it had gone that far, that she had seemingly lost her mind for a moment. Her heart was racing, she was breathing hard and she knew she shouldn't have done what they just did and yet…Kara wanted more. She felt so out of control. Lena blinked twice then leaned in and kissed Kara, hesitantly at first then with increasingly more unspoken demand. The kiss deepened right away and things started right back up only now Kara got a little more into it trying to help Lena get off like she had, she wanted Lena to feel as good as she did. She brought her leg up into Lena's center and gently massaged Lena's right breast kissing her with gentle need. Not long later Lena was panting into Kara's mouth and shuddering and twitching as she too orgasmed.
After Lena lay on top of Kara catching her breath, they didn't speak about what just happened or say a word. In a few minutes Kara realized Lena had fallen asleep, she was left awake and wondering what had just happened, what did it all mean and when could it happen again. Kara was so confused.
