Sorry Again
Lena is huddled in her favorite spot in the library with at least three books open in front of her and a pen between her teeth. She still has about two hours left in her study session when the library doors burst open with a bang and a roar of laughter floods in. Lena (and everyone else) looks up startled and annoyed as several female soccer players stumble in quickly hushing their laughter.
Lena rolls her eyes and is about to refocus when she sees Kara Danvers among them, looking around guiltily at the rude entrance they made. The blonde looks around apologetically, before being tugged towards the coffee cart by her friend Lucy Lane.
Lucy seems to catch Lena staring and smiles. She whispers something into Kara’s ear. Kara blushes and looks up meeting Lena’s gaze across the room. She lifts her hand in a sheepish wave. Lena offers a small smile in return before looking back down at her books.
A few minutes later, Lena looks up to see Kara standing in front of her nervously with two coffees in her hands. Kara is smiling and biting her bottom lip.
“Hi.” Lena says sitting up straighter.
“Hey, so um I’m sorry to bother you...again.” Kara laughs her blue eyes darting from Lena’s to the floor. “I just thought I could apologize again and bring you this.” She hands the coffee to Lena who cups it gratefully in her hands.
“Thank you, I was just think of getting up for some.” Lena says taking a sip.
“Yeah, you look like you’ve been camped here for awhile.” Kara gestures to Lena’s array of books and papers and laptop.
“And still miles to go, I’m afraid.” Lena sighs looking around at all the work she still has to do.
Beginning to step away, Kara says “I didn’t want to distract you.”
“Too late.” Lena’s voice is suggestive. She meets Kara’s eyes playfully, causing the blonde to blush and look away. Kara laughs nervously and Lena is beginning to like the sound of it.
Kara steps further away smiling. “I’ll let you get back to it then.” And she goes. Lena watches her go with a smile that stays for the rest of the afternoon.
