I'm glad we didn't wait until next time
‘Come on!’ Maggie threw her hands up in defeat.
‘I told you I wasn’t going to go easy on you.’ Alex smirked, putting her cue down and taking a seat at a nearby table, Maggie joining her.
The brunette shook her head with a grin on her face. ‘I can’t believe you kicked my butt.’
‘Believe it Sawyer, I’m very impressive.’ Alex shrugged, wiggling her eyebrows jokingly.
Maggie has a small smile on her face when she replied. ‘That you are Danvers.’
Alex blushed lightly, playing with the label on her beer. She glanced up, to find Maggie still looking at her.
‘So, you and Kara are sisters?’
‘Yeah.’ Alex nodded. ‘Well, she’s adopted, but she’s still my sister.’
The brunette nodded. ‘She’s a good kid.’
‘She is. A little crazy, and a dork.’ Alex laughed. ‘You got siblings?’
‘I have two sisters.’ Maggie told her. ‘But they’re back in Nebraska with the rest of my family.’
The redhead tilted her head. ‘Do you miss them?’
‘Yeah, I do.’ She shrugged. ‘But, I know that moving here was the right choice.’
Alex smiled. ‘Was it?’
‘Yeah, I mean, It’s not all bad.’ Maggie grinned. ‘You’re here aren’t you?’
The redhead ducked her head, hiding a grin. ‘I am.’
‘It’s getting late, and I have work tomorrow.’ Maggie bit the inside of her cheek. ‘You want to head home?’
‘Sounds good.’ Alex nodded, standing up and following Maggie out of the bar.
They walked in comfortable silence until they reached Alex’s front door, and then stood facing one another.
Alex shoved her hands into her pockets. ‘Thanks for a good night. It was nice to get out.’
‘I’m glad you had a good night, I did too.’ Maggie nodded, stepping slightly closer to the taller girl.
Alex took her hands out of her pockets, her breath hitching as they stood closer to one another, mouths almost touching. The feeling of Maggie’s hot breath on her skin made her stomach twist in anticipation.
‘Your sister is watching from the window.’ Maggie said quietly.
Alex quickly turned her head to find her sister disappearing from the window, the curtains swaying slightly.
‘Oh my god.’ She ran her hand through her hair. ‘She can be so embarrassing.’
The brunette chuckled. ‘It’s cool Danvers, she’s sweet.’
‘Maybe we can do this another time?’ Alex rocked on her heels awkwardly.
‘Sounds good to me.’ The other girl grinned, dimples on show, and Alex was certain her heart had just exploded.
Alex nodded, grinning back. ‘Cool.’
Maggie turned to walk away from the front door, but Alex grabbed her wrist, spinning her round to face her, before cupping her cheek and kissing her gently.
The brunette grinned into the kiss, pulling away slowly. ‘Okay, so I’m glad we didn’t wait until next time for that.’
Alex grinned before walking backwards to her door, Maggie watching her with a look on her face that made Alex feel special, important.
‘Bye Maggie.’
‘See ya Danvers.’
