"Kara!" Cat calls out of her office looking around the large room for her girlfriend/assistant who is nowhere to be found.
Cat's palms start sweating when Kara doesn't come right away. where is she? Is she okay? Why isn't she here where Cat could see her? James walks over to the CEO and motions her back into the office.
"I dont have time for this right now. Where is Kara?" Cat snaps looking around the tall man.
"she went to the restroom she will be right back. Calm down." James says resting his hands on his boss's shoulders.
"James get the hell off of me! Someone find Kara and tell her to get her ass in here now!" Cat screeches as panic claws at her throat.
"I'm right here Mrs Grant." Kara says for behind James looking at the pair with a confused and concerned look on her face.
Cat stalks around James in three steps and is standing in front of Kara. James looks at the pair worriedly before leaving the office and . Kara crosses her arms staring at Cat. she has put up with Cat being worried and keeping her close, but screeching for her through the office is a crossed the line.
Cat steps closer to Kara and reaches out to touch her, but Kara just raises a hand stopping the other woman in her tracks. Cat gapes her at shocked as Kara crosses her arms and walks past her to the balcony. The older woman watches her leave her biting her lip harshly.
"Kara? Please let me explain." Cat says following after her.
"I'm not doing this with you right now Cat. Go back inside." Kara says not turning around to face Cat.
"Darling please." Cat whispers walking up to Kara's closed back and rests her hand on Kara's back.
"Cat I cant talk to you right now. Go away please. I'm not leaving, i will be right here where you can see me, but i really cant see you right now." Kara repeats and Cat sighs placing a small kiss on Kara's shoulder before turning around.
Cat watches Kara pace the balcony through the glass windows from her desk. Its been two hours since Kara told Cat to leave her alone. She knows she screwed up when she was screeching for Kara, but something inside her snapped and she thought she lost Kara.
Finally Kara comes back inside and walks through the office not making eye contact with Cat or speaking to her. She walks over to her desk and sits down to work on some papers. A little while later a delivery boy walks into the office and over to Kara's desk.
Cat practically boils when he hands Kara a bag and rests his hand on her shoulder. How dare he touch her Kara! Who the hell does he think he is? Cat growls and clinches her fist several times. Wanting nothing more than to march out there and throw the boy off her girlfriend.
Kara smiles at him and a few moments later he leaves. Cat watches Kara take a breath and grab the bag. Cat smiles softly at Kara when she comes into the office with her lunch. Kara sets it on her desk and turns to leave without looking at her love.
"Here's your lettuce wrap." Kara says not making eye contact with Cat.
"Kara please stay. Can we please talk?" Cat whispers and Kara stops but doesn't turn around. Its not lost on Kara that Cat used the word please twice in such short sentences. She never apologizes except to Carter, so she knows Cat is upset
"There's nothing to talk about Cat. I get you were scared but that was uncalled for. I told you i wouldn't leave you and i indulged this whole thing. Ive stayed close by where you could see me, but i just needed you to give me a second." Kara says not turning around to see her girlfriend.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, please stay after work and lets talk." Cat begs and Kara drops her chin to her chest.
"I'll be here Cat. I'm not going anywhere." Kara says straightening and walking back to her desk while Cat lets out a relieved breath.
"I'll fix this Kara." Cat whispers knowing that Kara will pick it up with her super hearing. She watches Kara and sees her head twitch in a minuscule way knowing that she heard her.
Later that night when everyone has left the office Kara walks into Cat's office. The older woman is sitting on her couch sipping wine and looking at her cellphone. Kara looks at her and shakes her head exasperated.
Cat sees Kara walk past her to the balcony. The older blonde stands and fallows the girl outside. Kara stands with her back to Cat looking out over the sky. Cat moves closer and wraps her arms around Kara's waist. The hero flinches and stiffens before relaxing a moment later.
"Kara?"
"Yes Cat?" Kara responds not turning around.
"Do you still love me?" Cat whispers insecurely and Kara turns around in her arms quickly. Cat's breath catches when Kara takes her face in her hands.
"Of course i do, I will love you forever. Never doubt that. Just because i get angry doesn't mean i don't love you." Kara says and her eyes snap in passion.
Cat's eyes fall closed and she nods slowly. Kara swipes at the little tears that leak from her eyes with her thumb. the younger blond leans forward and kisses her forehead softly letting her lips linger against the warm skin. She enjoys feeling Cat's warmth feeling her humanity under the soft skin.
"I'm right here Cat. I'm not going anywhere. Nothing can keep me from you. I will always find my way back to you." The hero whispers against Cat's hair after she has pulled the worried woman against her.
"I'm sorry i have been so crazy. Its just that when you disappeared last time i got so terrified. I love you Kara and you were gone. I didn't think you were coming back." Cat says against Kara's neck.
"What did you say?" kara says pulling her head back some.
"I love you." Cat repeats and Kara's face breaks out in a smile so bright it could rival the sun.
"Are you sure?" Kara asks looking vulnerable and childlike.
"Of course i'm sure. other than Carter I have never loved anyone more than i love you." Cat whispers leaning up to kiss kara. The younger girl responds instantly to the kiss and wraps her arms around Cat's waist. The older blonde treads her fingers into the hair at the nape of Kara's neck and massages causing the hero to groan against her lips.
"Kara?"
"Yes sweetheart?" The hero responds resting her head against Cat's but not opening her eyes.
"Can you sit us down please?" Cat asks gripping Kara's neck tightly and the younger woman opens her eyes to see them spinning slowly in the air.
"Oh shit i'm sorry." Kara says sheepishly floating back to the balcony. They kiss again before walking back into the office hand and hand.
"I need to get home to Carter." Cat says and Kara almost pouts at having to leave her love.
"Okay sweetheart, i'll see you tomorrow." Kara says kissing the side of Cat's hand and moving to let go of her hand.
"And where do you think your going?" The media mogul asks and Kara looks up from their intwined hands.
"Home?"
"Um no, you are coming home with me." Cat says and Kara cocks her head looking at Cat to reason with her.
"Cat I'm not up for that ye-… its-…" Cat shakes her head cutting her off.
"No, not for that. I'm just not ready for you to leave yet. So you will be staying where i can see you." Cat says and Kara smiles at her in an adoring way.
"Okay, get your stuff and lets get going." Kara says walking over and getting Cat's expensive designer coat from where it was laid over a chair. She slides it on her boss and grabs her purse from the couch.
"Ready love?" Kara asks her taking her hand again and walking to the elevator.
"Born ready." Cat smiles at her contently and they walk hand in hand to the elevator.
