Chapter Six
Two more weeks had passed since Kara, last saw "her wife" kissing that woman outside Noonan's. "I kiss you on the cheek, Winn and James, they kiss you on the cheek. Why she should not be kissed on the cheek? The woman might be other sister, friend or cousin." Nia, had been trying to reason with her friend. Kara, doesn't know why she was so jealous, she didn't even know Alexandra Danvers.
Kara's sitting on the bench next to the walkway-pavement looking the lake. She feels like she's suffocating at the office, her mother forces her to join every meeting with board members and Kara, hates it. She is thinking of how to convince her mother to let her do her work, because serious she feels fine her shoulder feels like it is new. She tries not to think about how to tell her mother about the wife she married three years ago.
"My best friend is the most annoying picky and stubborn person I know. Can you believe she just turned down the third apartment we have found for her in two weeks? Do you know why she turned it down? Because, there's a fucking "weird tree" at the back yard! She's fucking living in a hotel for fuck sakes, because she can't share an apartment with me, well that might be my fault, but do you know why she can't share with her sister? Because her sister's girlfriend is friends with her ex. "She doesn't want her sister's girl friend to be weird to bring her friend at her home because of her. And guess what? Her sister is mad because she doesn't understand the reason, she fucking moved out from her own apartment! She's too good for this world. And you know what? Once they're mad at each other, I'm the one feeling the effects!"
The woman finished her rant.
"Do you want to sit down?" Kara, asked Calmly, she's been quiet the whole time. The woman's face is so familiar but Kara, does not remember where she had saw her before, but what stunned her is the other girl's Irish accent. "Thanks and sorry for overloading you with that information." The woman, said sitting down sheepishly.
Kara, chuckled, "it's fine, you just made me forgot about my own problems and I might have a perfect solution about yours." She said. The woman looked at Kara, with green questioning eyes.
"There's a place. I don't know your friend but, I think it will be perfect for her. There are no weird trees I swear Kara, chuckles and it is not far from mine. It's a very nice place I can contact the owner for you if you'd like. It is not fair for anyone to live in a hotel. " Kara, said.
"Really? Thank you!" Said, the greed eyed girl and Kara, smiled.
"So, it's your turn to rant about what troubling you, you said I made you forgot about your own problems. It's not a good thing to forget about them without solving them, maybe I can help or just listen." Said the woman.
Kara, thought for a minute, "see my... uhm big boss is going to make me crazy. I have been working in the office for the last four weeks and that alone is making me crazy. I'm more a field worker than office worker. I love my freedom out there, doing what I love. And since I've been working in that damn office my big boss has been forcing me into attending all her meetings with her and tell you what? I hate every minute of it." Kara, said grimacing already.
"Is there a reason for this change?" The woman asked.
Kara, sighs, "yeah but it doesn't matter anymore, it's like she's punishing me, Kara, said almost pouting. I mean a few weeks ago I got injured at work and my doctor said I will need 12 weeks to fully recover. My big boss was there and now she's making it her life's mission to make sure I do nothing but sit on that stupid office and attend her meetings. It's not even a big deal I feel fine already!"
"And the more I spent more time in her presence, the more I remember that I'm keeping a big secret from her and I have been keeping it for a long time and I don't keep secrets from her." She rumbled frustrated.
"It seems like your boss cares about you and you trust her. I'm sure you will figure out how to tell her this secret of yours."
"How do you get ready to tell your mother that you have been married to someone you don't even know? and that someone just moved in town. For the past few weeks I have been thinking to just divorce this woman and never tell my mom. I don't know what to do." Kara, said distraught.
"Have you at least talked about this with this wife?" The woman asked. "Last time I saw her, she didn't even remember having a wife and I don't blame her we were pretty drunk when all this happened. I will let you to a little secret though, Kara, said blushing. "I understand why my drunk self agreed to this marriage, she's... She's just perfect."
"I can only imagine, you're a masterpiece yourself." The woman complimented with a soft smile.
"Sometimes I wish she's single so I can dream to have a chance with her, but that's not possible or that she's happy with whoever she's with." Kara, said looking at the water at the distance.
The woman, looked at her 'screw it, I will make sure they talk again' The woman thought. "I think I have a plan, I will make a quick call." She said
Kara, nodded. The woman didn't even moved away she dialed a number and put the phone on her ear.
"Hey, I'm gonna send you my location, get here now."
...........
"Yes, I am okey."
...........
"See you soon." The woman dropped the phone and said "she will be here soon, she doesn't believe that I'm okey, I don't normally call her during work hours.. I just hope she will help you figure it out what to do next and heads up, she's the annoying one, I just talked about." She smirked. "I'm Lena, by the way, it was nice meeting and talking to you." She hold her hand to Kara, for a handshake.
"Kara." The blue eyed girl said shaking Lena's hand. "It was nice talking to you too."
™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™™
"Alexandra?"
Alex, is still looking at her phone, trying to make sure she's got to the right location, when she had her name being called. Although she had been called once by that voice, she's sure as hell she would recognise it anywhere. She looked up to see a shocked Kara, with something like a recognition in her face.
"What are you doing here? Are you okey?" Alex, asked she moved forward and almost touched Kara's face, but think better of it instead put her hand through her short hair.
Before a frozen Kara, can answer.
"Kara, this is the friend I was talking about. You guys look like you need to talk, I will just leave you two to it. I need to get back to the office." Lena, said already backing away from them biting her lip to prevent a smirk. "See you around Grant, Alex." She nods to her friend and she was gone leaving the two shocked wives alone. Kara, can't believe this is happening, the woman she had thought is Her wife's girlfriend for the past two weeks is actually the best friend and she'd just spilled everything to her wife's best friend, well cool. But Kara, almost felt relieved anyway.
"Look you need to tell my mom, that my shoulder is fine now, I can get back to work." Kara, said after a few moments of silence.
"Why would I do that?" Alex, asked shocked.
"Because you're the doctor and I feel fine!" Kara, said frustrated.
"Are you though, fine?" Alex, asked.
"Yes!" Kara, said. Alex, moved closer to Kara, and put her arms around her shoulders and put a little pressure, Kara, flinched at the pain and instinctively hold on to Alex's side by her good arm. "Your doctor was not lying when he said you will fully recover in 13 weeks" Alex, said not moving away from Kara, but not putting a pressure anymore, she melted when Kara, snuggled to the crook of her neck.
"You didn't come back the next day." Kara, said still in the same position, almost making Alex, shiver. Alex, didn't even need to ask what she was talking about, she knew. Alex, sighed "I needed to think." She said and went to sit down and Kara, followed.
"I will appreciate it if you let me finish what I'm about to tell you without interrupting." Alex, said looking at her wife and Kara, just nodded confused. "One day I received a call from my hospital, telling me "my wife" is in surgery and I thought they were mistaking my fiance for a wife, so I rushed to the reception because I was already at the hospital." Kara's stomach sank and bite her lip to prevent herself from interrupting the other woman. 'God she has a fiance' she thought.
"When I arrived at the reception, I asked what happened to Maggie, and the answer was "it's not Maggie, in there, it is your wife Kara Danvers." And I was like what the fuck Jane's talking about. And then your friends arrived all worried but the thing that piqued my interest is when the girl heard my last name a sort of recognition ran to her face but covered it by mumbled something about my sister. So I decided then that I'm going to see this "wife" then you know I ended up to your room and you told me everything. That night I started to remember everything that happened in Las Vegas Kara. I was engaged to another woman when I found out I already have a wife, I spent a lot of time at the hospital trying to avoid my fiance that whole week. I didn't know what to tell her or how. A week later I finally had a courage, thanks to Lena. I tried to do the right thing, I told her we can't proceed with the wedding, because I'm already married. She didn't let me finished my explanation and now she think I'm a cheater and I cheated on you. I'm sorry if you think that too, I really didn't know." Alex, finished looking at Kara.
"And she kicked you out and you live in a hotel.?" Kara, asked. Alex, raised her brow "yes, how do you know that?" She asked. "Your friend." Kara, said.
"She has a big mouth." Alex, commented.
"Why did you broke your engagement and not just asked for a divorce?" Kara, has to ask.
"I don't want to divorce you." Alex, said looking Kara, in the eyes. "Why?" Kara, asked.
Alex, stood and paced in front of Kara, and the other girl just watched her hope bubbling up in her chest.
"The things I feel when I'm around you, I never felt like that for anyone, not even with Maggie, the woman I thought was the one. I want to know you better Kara, but if you want a divorce I will give you that as long as that would make you happy, I feel like I've put you through so much. It's your decision." Alex, said.
Kara, stood up too and moved in front of Alex. "I don't want to divorce you either. I fell in love with you the first time I saw you and the fact that you didn't received a divorce papers few weeks ago since I knew where to find you, should tell you something." Kara, said holding Alex's hand.
"Do you really want to do this?" Alex, asked.
"Yes, I'm sure. I love you Alexandra."
"I love you too Kara. I want to do everything right this time. I want you to meet my family, I want to know everything you, your family, friends and everything you love." Alex, said.
"I want that too, but first things first, we're gonna go check this place that I think will be perfect for you, I promise there are no weird trees on the back. You're not gonna live in a hotel anymore." Kara, said with a smirk.
"Fucking Luther, what she didn't say?" Alex, rolled her eyes at Lena, who's not even here, for telling Kara, everything.
"Wait! Lena is the CEO of L-Corp?" Kara, asked and chuckles "wow" she said.
"Yes, you just met the one and only." Alex, said.
"I think my friend have a crush on her, he couldn't shut up about the "hot and gorgeous CEO" at least he was not exaggerating." Kara, said.
"You think my friend is hot?" Alex, asked.
"You're hotter." Kara, said and went to kiss Alex's cheek but Alex, was turning to look at her, their mouths connected and they froze for a moment before Alex, put her hand on Kara's cheek and really kissed the girl, Kara, responded immediately. They kissed for they don't know how long, they only stopped when their lungs couldn't take it anymore.
"Wow" Kara, breathed eyes still closed. Alex, couldn't hide the proud smirked, "Let's go wife." She said kissing Kara's noise.
