Happy Valentine, Love..
Alex pacing back and forth, in the lobby of The Baldwin ..
It's valentine's day, she knows this is stupid. Lena must be dating James or something.
They are in love. Even Eve told Alex that Lena left the office earlier that day, but Alex already having white chocolate and a white rose in her hand, Lena's favorite flower she knows from Kara.
Alex considered it several times before buying this thing.
Could a friend give something to a friend on Valentine's Day?
Her little heart said yes, maybe..
Leaving it in the lobby to receptionist will be more intimate and will confuse Lena, but if today Lena comes back here with James, Alex is ready to throw it in the trash.
And if she finds them both here, she's ready to pretend she's waiting for her date, she's is good actress after all.. and it's Valentine, and it's the Baldwin, a sweet place to making love tonight.
Her little heart hopes that Lena Luthor doesn't celebrate Valentine, just like Maggie, because Lena Luthor is not the type of woman in general, just like Maggie, why doesn't she just fall in love with an ordinary woman, she muttered to herself.
The result of the gambling went well when she saw the figure she admired so much walking towards the private elevator that would take her directly to her penthouse, alone
From the distance her face looked so cold, stiff, frozen, and when Alex approached to her, she could see that flustered eyes, staring nowhere, red, wet, again.. and Alex really hated to see it.
Lena didn't even notice when Alex was approaching her. Alex hide her chocolate behind her coat, and threw away the rose in the nearest trash, before she come to Lena.
For a moment she realized it was not the right time to give her the white rose..
Lena was like a fainted person walking, as if she wasn't fully conscious when she was about to touch an elevator button.
Alex had to touch her hand to make her realize that Alex was in front of her right now, the face she had been missing for days, even weeks.
The only face she imagined when she asked James off to Paris today for Valentine's weekend before they ruined it.
Valentine is a silly thing for Lena, but from what she heard from Kara, Alex loves it, and Maggie made Alex very sad the previous Valentine.
And Lena feels she has to drag herself away from the National City so that her body doesn't betray herself to find Alex this day and confront Alex with whatever she feels for her right now.
The desire to meet Alex is getting bigger and bigger day by day and sometimes she can't handle it anymore other than with a few glasses of scotch and meaningless sex with James to distract her from her crazy feelings.
She doesn't call it Love, it's more complicated.
if it is love, it means that now she's falling out love because there's no way in this world a Luthor could be with a Danvers.
But the feeling is worse than a heartbreak, because it feels like there was a shard of glass piercing right to her chest every time she took a breath.
"Alex, what are you doing here?" Lena surprised. Seeing Alex Danvers tonight is her wildest dream.
"I'm.. having dinner with a friend," Alex stuttered, her mind began to analyze what stupid things James had done, or Lex, or Lilian.
It's terrible to think how many people could hurt this woman.
"oh, you're on a date, okay, i will not distract you here, i'll just--"
"No.. Lena. stops"
The way Alex held her hand before hitting the elevator button was intimate, very protective, and it hurts.
Imagining Alex going on a date with someone this valentine's day is enough to make her heart bleed, and tonight she realizes that she is falling too deeper with this woman.
More than she can imagined, more than she realized, more than she was willing to admit it.
Tears fell down her cheeks as Alex pressed the elevator button, and pulled her in.
Alex led her to press a passcode which would take them up to her penthouse.
She is half conscious when she felt Alex still holding her hand inside the elevator, not wanting to let go.
Alex just took it off when Lena finished pressing the passcode again, to open the penthouse door.
Lena just stared at her silently when Alex opened her jacket and hung it on the coat rack next to Lena's elevator door.
And get closer to Lena, helping her take off her own coat, and her eyes were wet with tears when Alex leads her inside, sitting on the sofa in her living room.
Alex said nothing, just pulling Lena's head and carefully put it on her chest and burying it there.
Her right arm was just above Lena's head, rubbing her hair gently.
And suddenly Lena looked over Alex and watched as Alex pulled her hand back quickly and blushed, she needed to convince herself that she wasn't dreaming.
That this is really Alex. The woman she really want to claim to be hers.
Lena gave in to the pull because how could she not?
She ignored the fluttering feeling in her stomach as she rested her head at Alex's chest, breathing on Alex's scent, and Alex have to admit how good Lena smelled.
"I thought you had a date," Lena hissed. Trying to remind Alex of why she was at this hotel tonight.
But her little broken heart begged Alex not left with whoever that lucky woman.
"it can wait," Alex replied. Her hand still rubbing Lena's head, pulled the woman closer.
Lena could feel Alex's heart pounding sooo hard on her chest, and Lena wondered if it’s because of her.
"I thought I couldn't let you go anywhere tonight," Lena risked it all when she saying that. And Alex's self-defense collapsed for a moment.
