Chapter 2
The next day in the Danvers household there was a loud noise coming from the kitchen. So, Eliza went to check who was behind it.
“What are you doing Kara?”
The blonde was in the kitchen trying to prepare something.
“Ohh… sorry mom I didn’t mean to be loud, but I was cooking. I am going to see Lucy soon, so I wanted to impress her by cooking her favorite… You see last time when I saw her, she challenged me and you know your daughter doesn’t like to lose…” Kara said winking at her mom.
As soon as Eliza heard the Lucy name her face was dropped, you could see there was a tension all over her face which Kara noticed.
“Don’t worry mom we are just meeting for lunch noting serious, so chill.”
“I worry Kara, being a mom is not easy….Do you want me to be there with you tomorrow?” Eliza said in a low voice…
“I know mom, but I can assure you it's just a friendly lunch nothing more” there was a pause “and anyways do we have a small blow I need it,” Kara said smiling and trying to change the topic
“Yes, it's in the cabinet below but why do you need it?”
“Ohh nothing I was thinking I might go and say hi to Lena”
“Lena? I didn’t know you meet her, she is a good person always trying to impress her stepmom…sometimes feel sorry for her she is trying so much to save her father’s restaurant... I heard that it's not making business and it can be shut down.”
“Shutdown? Ohh I didn’t know about it…. well I guess being a good neighbor I shall help her and plus I have been to her restaurant the food is good so I can’t let that happen…”
With that Kara was walking out if the door to meet Lena. For some reason, Kara liked to see her neighbor even though they only meet a few times.
Over here Lena was looking in the mirror and thinking about what Kara had said to her… “did she really forgot to how to smile!!!” so here she was trying to smile in front of the mirror and suddenly she heard the doorbell so she runs down thinking it must be Sam but to her surprise, it was her neighbor...
“you??? Why are you here and that too in the morning?? Don’t you have any other place to be to?” Lena said looking unimpressed by Kara
Kara just gave Lena her bright smile and smirked “Morning pizza lady, I am thinking that you don’t like to see me because every time I see you, you always hyped up….well I should think it’s because of my charm but anyways…have you been practicing smiling ?.”
“For your kind information I do know to smile and I just don’t smile when you are around because you are a stranger to me…if you were my friend than you would have known me better….lastly what do you want ????” Lena said in her cold voice…
“Wow fair enough…to answer your question I just come here as a good neighbor to borrow some sugar from you as we finished ours…you see my sister Alex like sugar stuff and she forgot to buy some so we are out of it so I come to ask you as I thought you are really helpful and don’t like your kind neighbors to suffer…”Kara than gave Lena the blow that she was carrying
Lena just rolled her eye and went inside to get some sugar…
“here you go, anything else you like?” Lena gave her the sugar and was hoping that the blonde leaves soon
“I would have said I like you but I don’t think so as you don’t know how to live life always serious, I bet that’s why I don’t see you with anyone so no thank you!!”
“hey…I know to live a life…Do you think my life just revolves around my restaurant only? Ohh no I am very outgoing” Lena said firmly
“ohh really than, I would love to know what outgoing things you do?” Kara asked Lena by giving her a puzzled looked
To tell frankly Lena didn’t have anything adventurous to do... she had said it just for the sake of saying she really didn’t expect Kara to ask her suddenly, so she said the first thing that comes in her mind
“clubling…. I and Sam always go clubling for fun…that’s how we meet as well... as you see we used to date but then we took a break”
“So, Sam as in the one that was hitting on another girl in front of you the other day and you didn’t mind at all ??”
“yes, that Sam and as I said we took a break and we still have a good relationship so we have an agreement just to see if we can be compatible with others…its just a time being contract,” Lena said
Of course, it was a lie Lena never seen Sam in that sense they were just good friends, but she didn’t want to give satisfaction to Kara as she was right about her life that she didn’t have any life apart from her work...
“so, if you like clubling so much then you, me and Sam are going out tonight…I heard there is this club called Nirvana which is dam good, so I accept to see you 2 there” Kara said and was leaving…. “ if you don’t come then I will believe that you just lied to me so don’t ditch” with that being said the blonde was gone and here Lena was thinking what has she got into, now she can't say no to go as it will prove that she was lying and now the main important thing was convincing Sam…..
Next thing Lena did was call Sam and tell her the plan
“Sam thank god you picked up...” Lena said
“What up ... is everything ok?”
“Yes everything is fine I just called to tell you that we are going clubbing tonight”
“Clubling…you ?? Are you ok??? Sam said quizzically
“Shut up Sam!!!...” than Lena explained everything that had happened
“Lena I would love to help you but I am going to Dina place tonight I already promised her so I can’t ....”
There was a pause for a bit but Lena was not someone who gives up easily so she tried again
“Yeah occurs you will like to help Dina but not me...”
“Look Lena I would like to help you but Dina said that she likes me and I really don’t want to lose this chance....and why do you care what Kara says you have just met her like yesterday...”
“Yes I know that but she is irritating!!!...do you know what she said to me…that I don’t know to smile or to live my life as all I think is about my business and nothing else”
At this Sam just looked at her and said “Lena you know she is right ... don’t get me wrong but in this case, it’s all true”
“Yes I know it’s all true!!! but I don’t want to give her the satisfaction of thinking she is right and secondly I want to show her that I love my life and I had also had relationships and I am still in good contact with them. Who is cool, Gorgeous, hot, and sexy....”
“And I assume that relationship is me with you...?” there was a pause for a bit... “wait you really think I am hot, cool and sexy...” Sam asked excitedly
“Yes!! Sam but I guess you are right why to waste our time because of Kara who cares what she thinks... I will cancel tonight…”
“Ohhh no no... you know what just because you said Sexy and hot, I am convinced... I will come with you tonight... let’s do it”
“Really? But what about Dina”
“Who Dina ??” Sam asked
Lena knew she had successfully convinced her best friend to play a part in her fake life and with a smile, she said “so see you at 9 tonight”
