I miss you, a little too much..
A thousand debates in Alex's mind. it's February 18th. Three days after she last saw Lena. She missed her. desperately want to meet her. But they are not official yet.
Also now is weekday, Lena is the CEO for two super large companies.
And while Alex needs distraction, National City is quite safe, only a few aliens tried to rob a Jewelry shop this morning.
She stares at her cellphone, scrolls the "L" alphabet on her contact, then places it on her desk, then does it again, over and over several times,
before she decided to send a short message.
Alex Danvers : How's your day?
Alex pressed the OK button before changing her mind.
And when her cell phone beeps, her heart follows.
Lena Luthor : Just finished reading Financial report, how about you?
Alex Danvers : There's a steak house near your office, two blocks from there. I've been wanting to try it for a long time.
Alex Danvers : I mean i'm asking you to go with me.
Alex typed again, then shake her head, feeling regret it, feeling stupid
Alex Danvers : You don't have to say yes.
Lena Luthor : Dummy, pick me up on seven
Alex exhaled, relieved, excited, then nervous, what a good combine.
It didn't take long for Alex to head to the DEO shower. change her clothes in the locker room.
She has spare clothes there, not her best clothes. But she just wanted to be herself, too tired to force something, after all she also wanted Lena to be herself.
If they do have possibility to be something, Alex wants to give it all, Alex cam see the relationship between Lena and James, she has eyes after all, they don't really give in to that relationship. for God's sake, Alex didn't see the chemistry in the relationship, absolutely not, but it's not her problem anyway.
Alex waiting for Lena in front of her office after telling Lena that she was here, waiting in front of his SUV car, a car she almost never used.
Lena loves to see Alex in casual clothes, making her forget that they have been through a dark time together.
And Alex just realized that her clothes today doesn't match Lena at all, Lena is still in CEO mode ON, her tight dress that press her body shape perfectly, with a slight slit above her knee, Alex looks at her from top to bottom, without trying to stand out, her jaw drops, this woman is really breathtaking.
Does she dream? having a date with this woman, Or they don't...
Alex opened the door for Lena, and closed it when the woman sat in the passenger seat. Alex hesitant to speak, and she was grateful that their destination was so close. Because being with Lena in the car making her quite nervous.
"I thought we would ride your Ducati," Lesa says.
"What? You're not--- dressing like that i mean."
"Why not? i can show you another time," Lena answered while giving Alex a defiant look.
Okay, it means there would be another date, or it's not, maybe it's just girls night out, who knows?
"I don't know you own a car."
"Really? Of course i can make it."
Lena stared at Alex who sat next to her, who took her words wrong. "You know it's not what i mean. I thought you love your Ducati, Kara tells me how much you love it."
Alex shrugged her shoulders. "I bought it, after Maggie said yes. You can't take your family go to camping with your Ducati," Alex paused, "And then everything happens, and this car is just a waste of money."
"You put a lot of things in your last relationship. Well, i don't talk about money."
"And we're not here to discuss any of my past relationship," Alex smiled, and they were in front the Steak House.
After opening the car for the younger woman, Alex was waiting for her to come out, gesturing her to walk first. But Lena wants to walk beside her, even if they don't touch each other. Alex knows this is a public place, and Lena Luthor is more famous than any celebrity in National City. She's not sure Lena wants to look intimate with her in public.
They got a table in the private corner on the room. Steak was served, both love it, good wine was served, not a fancy one but it's great, conversation flowed easily,
Lena is right that they share a lot of same interests, and it's so interesting to know what would going on next.
The awkward feeling started to fade away. They talk about their time in college, in science, the field of science each were very very well versed in, and the admiration grows, naturaly.
Lena began to wonder why Alex choose to work in the field than to focus on science, Alex is a genius after all.
And this is almost like a date. Really.. at least for Alex
After all, they consume more wine than they have realized. And the night is getting late, Lena didn't really want the night to end, really. She hates how Alex makes her so comfortable, even though with her clumsiness, Alex looks real, not pretend, and she likes being with Alex, like a little a lot.
However, no matter what, she knows that Alex is still healing, but Lena is finding it's harder and harder to ignore the sign of attraction toward Alex.
"Well i guess we have to calling it a night." Lena smiled and touch Alex forearm, which was on the table, and Alex immediately reacts to the touch, or because of wine, okay, she blames it to the wine.
Lena waited patiently when Alex handle the bill. And whether because of wine or not, Alex did not hesitate to hold Lena's hand when they walked out and felt sad when they had to let her go after Lena got into the car.
Alex knew they'd be at Lena's in less than fifteen minutes. And Alex didn't want to run out of time then with no doubt, she took Lena's one hand in hers and held it gently. She had to admit that alcohol made it all easier.
"Lena look, i don't want this become temporary. You know what i mean."
Lena felt the warmth flowing through her chest, not the warmth from alcohol, this warmth was different. "Me too.." That's the only words she can say.
"You have to prepare. Maybe since today I will bother you, you might get bored of me quickly, and regret this. Tell me when that happens." Said Alex, but hoped otherwise.
"I am afraid that you will be the first who get bored with me," says Lena, with a mocking smile on her face.
"Why should i.. i mean you are--- perfect." Alex says, and she really mean it.
Lena knows Alex means it, but she didn't dare to be this happy. Luthor is not allowed to feel happy.
"Why would you saying that, Alex? i was too problematic, insecure, in constant danger, cold and paranoid, bitch , heroin, at least that's what I read on----" She’s cut off by Alex tugging her forward, bringing their lips together in a kiss, open-mouthed and hard, Alex dropping her hands to Lena’s hips, pull her closer, then backing her up against the passenger seat, Lena melts into it willingly, one hand going to Alex’s cheek and the other one fisting in her shirt.
Lena didn't really realize how long they have kissed, in front of her apartment, Lena hopes that no one will catch them because Lena doesn't want to stop. Who knows since when Alex pulled her dress's zipper down, Lena realized that she was half naked when Alex flicking open Lena's bra claps that open from the front, one of Alex's hand is on Lena's ass, squeezing it, the other using her thumbs to cares Lena's nipple, bringing it into a state of erect. Lena sucked a deep breath, arching her back to give Alex more access.
"God, you are so hot! " Alex sighed, frustrated, the moment she realizing where they were, still in the car. Damn!
Both of them gasped as they decided to stop. Alex kissed the top of Lena's chest before helping her tidy up her dress. Their faces are so close as if Alex doesn't care anymore about the distance. She caressed Lena's lips with her thumb, gently, when Lena looked at her affectionately.
Alex smoothed the dress one more time, make sure no one realizes when Lena gets off later, that they were just making out in the car.
"I thought i'm gonna miss you." Alex says as her hand cup Lena's cheek and kiss it gently.
Lena still staring at her, confused, give in, falling.. , asking herself, may i?
Alex Danvers doesn't give her too many options, it's fixed, it's something for sure. They couldn't keep it from happening.
"I hope it won't take three days more for you to text me," Lena hissed, soft, deep, heavy, full of hope....
