"Finally, you're here." Alex said as she opened her door and let her sister enter.
Kara, of course, had a bright smile on her face and it wasn't excately because that was just who she was. No, it was because she had never seen her sister so nervous and aprehensive in that way before. That particular nervousness was nothing like Alex would feel everytime her mother was around, which used to be the only reason of such emotions. Right now Kara was smiling because her badass sister was nervous because of her first date with Maggie and it was cute.
"Alex, you called me like five minutes ago." Kara mocked gently as she put her jacket on a chair. "It's not like you had to wait very long."
"Do you have any idea of how I'm feeling right now?" the agent asked with an extended hand as she stopped pacing.
Kara sighed with a smirk and stepped closer to her sister before putting both hands on Alex's shoulders. The agent was looking at her with scared eyes, waiting for an advice and comfort.
"Alex, you're smart, funny and beautiful." the kryptonian assured. "You're going to be fine and your evening will be perfect. You have absolutely nothing to worry about."
"I know but-" she started as she stepped away from Kara and looked at the ceiling. "I don't know how to do this. What if I say or do something wrong?"
"You won't." Kara assured gently. "And you've already spent an entire evening playing pool with Maggie. What's so different?" she asked as a matter of factly
"It's a date, Kara." Alex pointed a bit more fermly before looking anywhere but Kara, losing herself in her fear. "As in an official rendez-vous between two persons who really like each other in a restaurant full of candles. And as Maggie said so well I'm fresh of the boat and I thought I was comfortable with myself now but making all of this official freaks me out somehow. Does that make any sense?" she asked after finally looking back at her sister
"It makes perfect sense." Kara promised giving Alex the most sincere, loving look in the world. "Maggie knows you're new to this and she likes you a lot. I'm sure everything will be just fine."
The two sisters stared at each other for a second, both telling different discourse with their faces. Kara was soft, patient and reassuring. Alex was nervous, restless and seeking comfort. Eventually, the kryptonian pulled her sister in a hug, rubbing soothing hands over Alex's back. The agent gladly tightened her grip around Kara and closed her eyes for a second before pulling back. Kara gave her one of her special smiles, causing an ounce of nervousness to go away. But Alex didn't relax for all that.
"I need a drink." she said, surprising Kara, as she quickly turned towards the kitchen bar where a bottle of wisky was already waiting. But Kara beat her to it and stepped between her and the counter.
"No! There's no way you're getting drunk before your date. Let's pick your outfit instead." the young woman stated as she grabbed Alex's arm and dragged her to her room almost against her will. "So what are you planning on wearing?"
"I don't know, that's why I called you." Alex admitted
"Oookay so where are you going?" Kara asked, determined to help her sister the best she could
"Some restaurant near the bay. Maggie says it's one of favorite places because it's good without being too much." the agent explained as she watched her sister going through her wardrobe, feeling helpless like a child
"So nothing fancy but you still want to look good." Kara concluded for herself. "There." she said after a short moment, presenting the clothes.
Alex looked at them and then up to Kara, obviously not convinced.
"Kara, this is just a grey shirt and jeans." she whined, causing the kryptonian to step up and defend the outfit
"Which happens to go very well together AND look amazing on you." the kryptonian countered, forcing the clothes into Alex's hands
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely." Kara nodded.
Alex took a moment to detail the outfit. That was one of her good T-shirts; not showing much cleavage but still teasing. It would certainly look good with her black boots and one of her trusty leather jacket. Eventually, the agent put the clothes on the bed and hugged Kara.
"Thank you." she breathed out as the kryptonian returned the embrace.
Kara pulled out of the hug and locked eyes with her sister.
"You're gonna be amazing. And promise you'll tell me every details of your date." she said, causing Alex to chuckle
"I will." she promised
"Love you."
"Love you too."
And with that, Kara walked out of the apartment, letting Alex prepare for her date with Maggie.
SSSSSSSSSS
It was 7pm when Alex received a text from her favorite detective, telling her she was waiting in her car in front of the building. Alex smiled at the text and then smiled even more just at the thought of seeing Maggie. There was still some aprehension when she walked down the stairs. Was she dressed properly? Was her make-up ok? But all her fears disappeared when she saw Maggie, leaning against her car, smiling and looking at her with eyes full of stars. If Alex hadn't a minimum of self control, she would've melted right there because of those beautiful dimples. The agent smiled back
at her and closed the distance between them before kissing her. It was short; just the time to close eyes and brush each other's arms. It was just the beginning of a wonderful night afterall.
"Good evening." Maggie greeted
"Good evening." Alex repeated softly, lost in her eyes.
"Are you ready for this?" Maggie asked playfully as she turned and walked to the other side of the car
"Absolutely." Alex answered with a comfortable determination as she opened the passenger door.
Once they were both in the car, Maggie glanced at her and chuckled before starting the car and driving away.
The ride to the restaurant was rather quiet. Both women were listening to the radio, occasionally stealing glances and smiles. After a few minutes, Maggie pulled up in a parking lot near the beach.
"We're here." she informed with a smirk as she unbuckled her seatbelt.
Maggie wasn't really one to display her feelings through words and she would often keep them inside. Her way of expressing them, especially to the ones she liked a lot, was through her eyes, little smirks and smiles. Alex had seemed to get all that and Maggie couldn't be happier. Not everyone had been that understanding with her. She couldn't really believe what was happening to her at the moment. In the many dates she had had, never had she felt so safe before. And the most fun part of all...she had no idea why.
"The restaurant is over there in the pedestrian zone so we have to walk a little."
Alex was relieved when she finally saw what Maggie was wearing now that they were walking side by side. It was her normal self. Just as Alex liked her.
"I like your shirt." Maggie started, pulling Alex out of her reverie. "It's cute." she added with a smile
"Thanks." the agent replied, hidding her blushing.
A bit later, as they were handing the waiter the menus after they had chosen what to eat, Alex and Maggie found themselves in a comfortable yet slightly awkward silence. They both didn't know what to say, especially Alex. They stared at each other with looks full of expectation and curiosity. After a few seconds, Alex looked down at the table and chuckled.
"What is it?" Maggie asked
"It's just..." Alex started before facing back the detective. "Just a few weeks ago I would've never imagined being on a date with a woman. Or anyone at all for that matter." she joked. "And now that I'm here with you...I feel like it's the most natural thing I've ever done." Alex said, looking into Maggie's eyes intensely.
The officer stared back with the same intensity for a second, completely hypnotized by the woman in front of her.
"And I feel like I should thank you"
"Thank me for what?" Maggie wondered curiously. "You're the one who saved my life if anything I should be thanking you."
"No, you don't understand. Before meeting you, I was trapped. Thinking knowing things about myself that were completely false. And I wasn't happy because I've always thought I was different, that something was somehow wrong with me." Alex explained before leaning forward on the table, closer to Maggie. "Turns out I am different. Just not in the way I expected. And I'm happy because I finally get myself. Now I know where I want to go."
"Actually..." Maggie started, taking one of Alex's hand. "I do understand. I know how that feels and that's why no matter what happens...I'll be there for you."
It was Maggie's turn to get closer to Alex. Their faces were just centimeters apart. A kiss would've happened if the waiter hadn't brought their orders. The two women jerked backward like children caught stealing a candy, which amused the waiter who gave them their plates with a smirk. When he was gone, Maggie and Alex looked at each other and laughed. It wasn't because they were two fierce women that they couldn't be flustered when in love.
SSSSSSSSSS
"It's a beautiful night." Alex said looking at the stars as they were walking back to the car.
Their pace was slow. They wanted this night to last and after a wonderful dinner, what better way than a walk near the beach in the cool air of the night.
"It is." Maggie agreed, looking at Alex fondly.
The agent was completely oblivious to the attention, too engulfed in her own fascination for the stars. Wanting to stay longer, Alex stopped walking and rested her elbows on the railing, facing the ocean. Maggie mimicked her silently, looking at her first and then at the glowing water.
"I used to watch the stars a lot when I was a kid." Alex started, nostalgic. "First with my dad and then with both him and Kara. We used to plant his telescope in the middle of the yard and stay up for hours until my mother would come out and yell at him for keeping us awake."
"What made you stop?" Maggie asked softly, huddling closer to Alex in comfort but also for warmth and proximity
"He died." the agent answered, willingly hidding the whole story from Maggie
"I—I'm sorry." Maggie choked, putting a comforting hand on Alex's shoulder, causing her to face her with one elbow still on the rail
"It's okay." Alex started with wet eyes. "And I never stop watching the stars actually. Kara saved that part of my life; she was amazing."
"The contrary would've surprised me." the detective joked, causing Alex to laugh
"I didn't want to go back in the yard with the telescope. I couldn't. Even if I missed it. So one night, Kara went into my room and woke me up. When she said she wanted to watch the stars I almost yelled at her. But then she opened my window and dragged me on the roof. We stayed there and watched the sky all night. It quickly became a habbit."
"I used to go fishing with my dad. It was nice. We used to walk by the river up to the old hydroelectic power plant. Then I came out and it changed everything." Maggie confessed with a sad look
"But you told me he was okay with it." Alex pointed a bit confused
"He is now. Wasn't always the case." Maggie explained before forcing a smile. "But then I left and became a cop so we never got to do it again."
"One day we'll travel to your home town and go fishing. Together." Alex promised with a sweet look
"I'd like that." Maggie accepted with a sincere smile this time.
The two smiled at each other before Maggie stood on her tiptoes and cupped Alex's cheeks. The agent didn't need any further encouragements and brought her head closer to Maggie's. The two women stared into each other eyes until the very end and, when their lips where just one centimeter apart, they closed them for a gentle, memorable kiss. Quickly, Alex brought one hand up to cup Maggie's face and put the other on her back, caressing it slowly. Maggie's hands abandonned Alex's cheeks as her fingers tangled in her hair. The detective rested her second hand in the small of Alex's back, bringing her closer, causing the agent to let out a cute moan that was music to her ears. They enjoyed their proximity for long minutes.
At one point, Maggie pushed Alex against the railing only to bring even more contact. Alex's tongue brushed against her lower lip, making her moan with pleasure. Maggie parted her lips as a dance began between their tongues. Neither of them tried to claim for dominance because right now wasn't the time. It was their first date yet not their first kiss. It all seemed new and old at the same time without ever feeling like they had enough. And the dark sky, the bright stars, the roaming of the waves gently dying on the wet sand, the water beautifuly lit by the pale moon, the solitude and the silence. Everything around them was soft and peaceful. Just like their kiss.
Eventually, Maggie took the initiative and stopped their dance. She pulled her head away slowly, letting their lips touch for the longest time possible. When she opened her eyes, Alex's were still closed. She seemed to be lost in a perfect dream and it was so beautiful. When she opened them, she was greeted by Maggie's smile. And if Alex wouldn't have tried to hide her red cheeks by looking down with a chuckle, maybe she would have noticed the pink shade all over Maggie's face.
"Wow." Alex breathed out when she dared looking up. "I'm not sure I can describe what just happened." she joked
"Then don't." Maggie said with a deep voice, causing all sorts of butterflies to fly in Alex's lower stomach.
The detective giggled with delight and took Alex's hand in hers before walking back to the car. Alex gladly followed with dumbfounded grin.
SSSSSSSSSS
A few minutes later, they were back to Alex's apartment. Maggie had accompanied her to her door. Before opening, Alex turned to face her.
"One last drink? I have beer." she asked playfully
"Sorry, I have an early meeting tomorrow." she denied with regrets
"Ow that's not nice, Sawyer. I thought we had a good time together."
"Oh we did, Danvers. We do." Maggie retorted closing the distance between them. "Raincheck, I promise."
"Movie, this week-end." Alex proposed but also kinda imposed at the same time, earning a nod. "And this time I'm inviting you."
"It's not a raincheck if I'm not paying." Maggie contered
"I insist." Alex imposed before closing the already shrinking distance separating them.
The two shared one last kiss before calling it a night.
"You do know what this means, right?" Maggie asked with a grin, moving her index between her and Alex.
The agent couldn't quite say it even though she knew very much what she was talking about. So instead, she grinned like an idiot.
"I think I do, yeah." she managed
"You do?" the detective pushed.
Alex had to say it.
"We're together." Alex smiled proudly as her heart raced in her chest
"You, Alex Danvers-" Maggie started before giving the agent a peck on the lips. "-just found your very first girlfriend." she added before leaving without ever looking back, very proud of herself by just imagining how Alex was looking at her right now.
Alex leaned against the door and let out a happy sigh. Then, she spun around and turned her keys in the lock. She didn't make two steps inside that she brought her hand to her mouth, right where Maggie's lips had been just seconds ago, and chuckled to herself with pride, happiness and relief.
SSSSSSSSSS
The next morning, at the DEO, barely ten minutes after noon, a gush of wind sent paper flying in Alex's lab. The agent, who had been working very seriously until that particular moment, didn't even move. Alex smirked before lifting her head from her notes, crossing her arms and spining around in her desk chair, only to find an extatic Kryptonian with one take out box in each hand.
"Tell me everything." Kara cheered as she sat on Alex's desk and handed her a box
"Tell you what?" Alex grinned, playing with her sister's nerves
"Oh come on!" Kara whined, crossing her ankles and swinging her legs in protest. "You promised."
"It's just too funny."
"Don't make me pout." Kara warned
"Okay, okay. I give up." Alex conceded holding her arms as a peace sign. "I had an amazing time." she simply said.
Kara was staring at her with wide eyes, obviously waiting for more.
"And?" she pressed, causing Alex to sigh and smirk
"And we made out like teenagers near the beach and she called herself my girlfriend."
Kara squealed with excitement and gave Alex a slightly too tight one-armed hug, earning a grunt from her sister that quickly transformed into a laugh.
"I'm so happy for you!" the kryptonian cheered before releasing the agent
"It was so amazing." Alex started, now fully in gushing mode. "Maggie is so incredible. I still can't believe it happened. I feel so happy, so...safe around her."
"Well now I'm starting to like her." Kara joked.
For long minutes, Alex didn't stop talking about Maggie with a smile plastered on her face. And Kara listened because that's what sisters do and seeing Alex so delighted only made her happy. Then, comfortable silence settled between the two sisters. After a few seconds spent watching Alex play with her food, Kara dropped her fork in her box.
"I'm proud of you, Alex." Kara assured with loving eyes.
SSSSSSSSSS
It was the middle of a Saturday afternoon when two eager laughters broke out from the entrance of a cinema. Alex was still eating some pop corn out of a collectible metal bucket and Maggie was occasionally stealing some, causing Alex to fake a pout.
"That movie was awesome!" the agent cheered
"Sure. I mean they all died but it was still a good movie." Maggie retorted
"At least the visuals were breathtaking." Alex pointed before throwing some pop corn in her mouth
"So what you're saying is... They all died but it doesn't matter because it was pretty?"
"Basically." Alex conceded, earning a chuckle
"You're such a nerd."
"At least I'm cute." the agent said playfully, nudging her girlfriend
"Oh you didn't-" Maggie whined, fakely annoyed
"Yes and you love it."
"No I don't." the detective said defensively
"You're lying."
"Yeah, I'm lying." Maggie grinned as she stole a fistful of pop corn. "And I suppose you're keeping this, right?" she asked pointing at the bucket
"Actually no. This one is for Kara."
"So she's a nerd too?"
"Not as huge as me but you can bet everything space related will win her attention." Alex explained as Maggie chuckled.
As the two women continued walking, Alex quickly finished the pop corn and placed the bucket under her arm. Maggie took the occasion and grabbed her other hand with a smile. What she didn't expect was Alex to tense so much at the gesture. The smile on the agent's face faded, as well as Maggie's, and let the place to fearful eyes. The detective even saw her hesistating to reject the contact. Alex looked briefly to their barely joined hands and then all around them, detailing the crowded street.
"What is it?" Maggie asked, concerned but already knowing what was going on
"Nothing. Nothing." Alex started, avoiding Maggie's gaze at all cost.
Immediately, the detective stopped walking, holding Alex with her. She didn't say anything. She just tilted her head on the side and gave Alex a look. It wasn't aggressive, nor disapointed. It was encouraging and a bit hurt at the same time. She was still holding her hand. Alex looked one last time at their intertwined fingers before shaking her head.
"I'm sorry. It's just...It's stupid." she smiled nervously before tighening her grip on Maggie's hand
"Come on. Talk to me." she encouraged gently
"It's weird. I feel like people are watching us. Judging me." Alex confessed
"Alex, look around." the detective instructed, following her own advice. "Do you see anyone watching us?"
The agent took a deep breath before glancing all around and realizing the comfortable truth.
"No." she said simply, a bit sheepish, earning a smile
"And even if there was, we don't care. That's our life not theirs." Maggie comforted. "And trust me, we can't fight for every misplaced look we receive. I used to confront people all the time and it just ruin your life. So... Ignore the looks and focus on yourself. On us." she finished, tilting her head with a bright smile full of dimples
"Okay. Yeah. You're right."
Alex showed a smile of her own and interlaced their fingers more fermly, proud of being Maggie Sawyer's girlfriend. Maybe it was still weird for Alex. Maybe she hadn't fully realize it was her new normal yet. But one thing was sure; Alex Danvers wasn't ashamed of who she was. And no one could ever change that.
The two women had just started to walk again when a gush of wind passed above them with a loud woosh, surprising everyone on the street. Alex looked up at the red and blue blur speeding away.
"I will never get tired of that." she said with admiration
"Me either." Maggie confessed a bit dryly.
The detective had a lot of admiration for the hero and a lot of respect. She just couldn't handle the closeness she shared with Alex, her girlfriend.
But then, something like twenty seconds later, Supergirl passed above them again in the other direction. The sight brought a frown on Alex's face. Worried, she took her phone.
"Supergirl, is everything okay?" she asked formaly
"Don't worry. Nothing I can't handle." Kara answered
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, get back to your date." the hero confirmed as she accelerated her flight
"Okay, tell me now." Alex pushed, annoyed, earning a sigh form both Maggie and Kara but for very different reasons.
"Two bombs were found in a restaurant. They're to unstable to be transported all at the same time."
"Do you need help?" Alex asked, now really concerned
"No I'm getting the last one to safety right now." Kara informed just as she came into their line of sight for the last time.
But just barely after ending her sentence, the bomb in Kara's hands exploded, sending her crashing into a parked car around a hundred and fifty meters away from Alex and Maggie.
"Oh no!" Alex exclaimed as panic crept onto her face before running as fast as she could, dropping the pop corn bucket as she went.
Maggie followed her, forgetting about her resentment towards the hero as real concerned flooded her. It all seemed too slow for them like a nightmare where you run but stay put. In the distance, Supergirl seemed to stay stunned for a few seconds as people were gathering around her. Then, she moved slightly and Alex and Maggie watched as two people helped the fallen hero from the crushed car and onto her feet. The two women arrived just a second later. Alex immediately went to Kara's side and steadied her as the kryptonian was still regaining her bearings.
"Are you okay?" the agent asked, detailing her sister
"NCPD, please clear the area. There's nothing to see here." Maggie instructed flashing her badge
"Yes, yes. I'm fine, just a little disoriented."
"You should get checked out at the DEO." Alex said as she grabbed her wrist to check her pulse
"I'm fine I've had bombs exploding to my face before." Kara shrugged
"Not helping." Alex countered with a glare
"Listen, you stop worrying about me and go back to your date." Kara instructed glancing at Maggie. "If it makes you feel better I'm flying to the DEO right now."
Alex seemed to think about her options, clearly conflicted about going with her sister or staying with Maggie. She looked at her girlfriend and then back at Kara.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes I promise." the kryptonian assured with confidence.
The agent gave her a look of aprouval and Kara smiled before shooting up in the sky. Alex watched her go and felt Maggie coming to her side as soon as the hero was gone. Alex looked at her feet with crossed arms.
"I hate when that happens." she said as she started to walk away
"Me too." Maggie agreed but not for the same reason as Alex. "So what do we do now that we know your pal is okay?" she asked as Alex didn't even acknowledged the tone, still worried about Kara
"I could use a drink right about now." the agent sighed
"Pool?" Maggie suggested with a smirk
"Pool it is." Alex said linking their arms together
SSSSSSSSSS
A few hours later, Alex had completely forgotten the incident. Kara had texted her she was fine and after a few beers and games of pool, even Maggie had forgotten. Right now was all happiness since Alex was throwing her hands in the air with a laugh of victory.
"I believe that make three to zero for me." Alex bragged with a grin. "You better step up your game, Sawyer. I'm ruining you." she added, showing her the bills in her hand
"Well you better teach me fast then or I won't be able to get you on proper dates soon." the detective smirked
"Next time I'll show you some moves I promise." Alex said as she put her cue stick on the table and stepped closer to Maggie
"Can't wait." she stated with a seductive voice before closing the distance and meeting Alex's lips with her own.
Maggie grabbed Alex's waist and brought her closer as the agent cupped her face like she always did when they kissed.
"I believe a beer is waiting for me in your fridge." Maggie annonced with a husky voice
"Then let's not wait any longer."
After a quick ride on Alex's Ducati, the couple entered the apartment. And as the agent went to the fridge and picked two beers, Maggie went to the couch and sat, pentiently waiting. She knew Alex liked to have some noise in the background or at least have the TV on mute so she put the news chanel on. Without any surprise, Supergirl was the main subject of discussion. Maggie didn't frown or anything. She was just relieved the young woman had been able to get the bomb away from any civilian. National City was very lucky to have her as its protector.
Alex sat next to Maggie, pulling her out of her thoughts, and handed her a beer. Just as she sipped her own, her phone buzzed. A quick glance informed her that it was Kara. Feeling a bit worried, she gave Maggie a look of apology before opening the message. Thankfully it was nothing alarming. She even chuckled.
"Sorry it's just Kara wanting to know if I still have the bucket." Alex informed
"Too bad we lost it." Maggie admitted, taking a sip
"Nah don't worry." Alex waved off. "I'm sure she'll go see the movie with Winn anyway."
Alex sipped her beer before leaning over the table. She put her phone and her bottle on it before sitting more comfortably, one leg under her so she could face Maggie.
During those few seconds, the detective watched her every move. As the agent leaned down, she watched her shirt lifted just slightly, revealing the skin of Alex's lower back. She watched as her shirt, pulled down by gravity, let her see a glimpse of her breasts. She watched as her hair shielded her face when she bent over the table. And she watched as Alex sat back on the counch, completely oblivious.
And Maggie smiled when Alex caught her staring, as her cheeks took on a shy shade of pink.
"What?" Alex asked with a curious smile
"You're beautiful." Maggie simply said, causing a bit more red to climb on the agent's face.
Alex looked briefly down and then back to Maggie. Their eyes met in an intense stare. Not long after, Maggie abandonned her beer on the table with the ferm intention to kiss Alex. But she was caught of guard when she sat back as Alex had the very same idea. As their lips crashed together, Maggie let out a muffled cry of surprise that quickly let the place to a moan of pleasure. Alex's hands roamed in Maggie's hair while the detective was caressing her back. Quickly, the kiss deepened and their tongue entered the stage. They were tasting, discovering, lingering. Through panted breaths and moans, the two lovers were having the most intimate moments since the beginning of their relationship.
After a few minutes, after the temperature rose, Maggie forced Alex down on the couch. Now lying on top of her, the detective deepened their embrace even more. And Alex wasn't shy either. Her hands abandonned Maggie's hair and focused on her arms, her elbows, her shoulders and then up her back and down again to finally settle on her waist. Tightening her grip, Alex brought her even closer. Their hearts quickened, their breaths sharpened as the heat and lust rose in their bodies. Alex had never felt like this before. Not even close.
As Maggie's lips left Alex's, the agent let out a whimper of protest that quickly transformed into groan of delight. Maggie placed a series of kiss down her jaw and once she reached her neck, sucked gently on the soft skin, letting a hot trail behind with her burning tongue. Alex arched back in pleasure and after regaining her faculty to move, after the surprised faded, she brought her hands down to the hem of Maggie's shirt. Slowly, she pulled it out of her pants, a part of her wondering if it was okay, the other part begging for more. Then, still slowly, she pulled the shirt up, not much. Just enough to expose Maggie's lower back, grazing her skin with her fingers.
Maggie had enough, the fire burning inside her couldn't wait any longer. With impatience and in a quick move, she straightened and took off her shirt, revealing a black perfectly fitting bra. Alex stayed stuck by the gesture, suddenly speechless and motionless. Maggie stayed sitted on top of her, waiting for a reaction, something, anything to happen. Alex's gaze went from Maggie's tonned stomach, settled on her breast for a second, and then went up to look at her beautiful face. Alex hesitated. But when she stared into Maggie's eyes, and she stared back at her; when Maggie gave her this silent permission, Alex focused back on her body. Her fingers brushed down her neck, passing on her collarbones, and then, as if it was a bit too much yet, Alex avoided Maggie's breasts, choosing to pass on her ribs, just brushing the side of her bra. Maggie smiled because even if Alex had deliberately chosen her path, she hadn't let her eyes off of her chest. Finally, her hands rested on her waist and Maggie slumped back closer, capturing her lips once again.
But then something happened. Something happened when, after an other few minutes, one of Maggie's hands went down Alex's stomach and her fingers tempted the hem of her pants. Because when Alex felt Maggie trying to unbutton them, her mind exploded.
"Maggie." she breathed out between two kisses, only to feel her smile against her lips. "Stop, stop." she managed, earning the wanted reaction.
Maggie stopped everything she was doing and sat up, a bit confused. But when she saw the fear and aprehension on her girlfriend's face, she understood very fast.
"I'm sorry. Sometimes I forget that you're new to this." she said a bit disapointed
"No it's not you." Alex corrected quickly as Maggie got away from her lap and sat properly on the couch, followed by Alex. "It's just...It's only been two weeks. And not that I don't want to because I really...want to but I just...I don't know—"
"No, I get it you're not comfortable enough yet." the detective concluded, visibly hurt
"No I'm just not ready." Alex assured.
There was a short silence where Maggie was looking down at her hands and Alex was just observing her. Then, she took her hand in hers, making her look up.
"It's not you." she started softly. "I am more than comfortable with you. I just...I'm scared."
"I know." Maggie assured a bit sheepish.
"We can still cuddle." Alex suggested with a smirk which earned a grin from the other woman.
Maggie extended her arm and went to pick up her shirt when Alex stopped her, grabbing her wrist.
"No, don't."
Then, as Maggie was staring at her curiously and a bit confused, Alex grabbed the hem of her own shirt and took it off before tossing it with Maggie's. The detective smiled at the initiative and looked at Alex up and down. It surely relaxed her.
The agent looked confident and happy. Everyday was a new step in their intimacy and she had enjoyed every single second of it. And now, seeing Maggie looking at her with envy and pride only made it better.
"I want you to know..." Alex started. "I am comfortable with you. Never think otherwise."
Maggie nodded before leaning closer and deposing a gentle kiss on Alex's lips.
"Okay." she whispered.
Alex wrapped her arms around her smaller figure and lied down, pulling her girlfriend with her. Maggie sighed with contempt, adjusting her position on Alex's bare chest. Alex kissed the top of her head, catching the scent of her hair.
That night would be the first spent together.
