You look happy
‘Alex!’ Kara practically yelled as her sister closed the door behind her, a grin on her face.
‘Yes?’
Kara pulled her into the lounge by her arm. ‘You-you kissed! You and Maggie kissed!’
‘Yes we did, you lil spy!’ Alex poked her sister in the side.
The blonde giggled. ‘How was it? How was your night? Tell me everything!’
Alex shook her head at her sister, the smile never leaving her face. She touched her fingers to her lips and said; ‘It was…so, so good. Which you probably already know because I know you used your super hearing when me and Maggie were outside!’
Kara had the grace to blush but was still sporting a grin. ‘I was curious!’
‘Hmm.’ Alex laughed, rolling her eyes. ‘Anyways, what do you want to know?’
‘Everything.’ Kara got wide eyed, pulling her sister to the sofa with her, grabbing a bag of chips as she did so.
Alex told her what happened when she was out with Maggie, Kara clutching a pillow to her chest in excitement whilst finishing the bag of chips.
‘Alex I’m so happy for you!’ Kara clapped her hands together. ‘So, now what?’
The redhead frowned slightly. ‘I’m not sure.’
Her younger sister saw her face drop and sat up straight. ‘Well, you’ll see her tomorrow at college!’
Alex smiled at the thought. ‘Yeah, I will.’
She did see her the next day and was immediately greeted by a full dimpled grin. Alex went over to the desk where Maggie was sorting out books that had been brought back, and sat on the edge of the table.
‘Hey.’
‘Hey to you too.’ Maggie met Alex’s eyes. ‘You studying today?’
Alex shrugged. ‘Yeah, but I also just thought I’d come see you.’
‘Don’t I feel special.’ The other girl smirked, taking a pause from working. ‘Do you want to grab lunch today?’
‘Sorry, I told the guys I would have lunch with them, I haven’t really spent much time with them lately.’ Alex bit her lip. ‘Why don’t you join us?’
The brunette shook her head. ‘I don’t want to intrude, I’m all good Danvers.’
‘Aw come on, they’d love you to have lunch with us.’ Alex pouted. ‘So would I.’
‘Okay, okay. For you, I will.’ Maggie rolled her eyes with a smile. ‘That damn pout!’
The redhead grinned in success. ‘Okay I’m going to go and study.’
She quickly kissed Maggie on the cheek before going over to her usual table, leaving the shorter girl smiling to herself.
Alex thought she would have gotten a fair bit of work done today, but 40 minutes later and she was still watching the other girl working, unable to keep her attention on her work for more than 5 minutes at a time.
Maggie sauntered over to the table, leaning both her hands on it. ‘Something distracting you Danvers?’
‘Just a little.’ Alex smiled bashfully.
The brunette grinned. ‘Well, I’ve just finished for the day, sooo…should I leave or-‘
‘No. Stay.’ Alex tugged gently on the girl’s sleeve.
‘Hmm, you’ve convinced me.’ Maggie laughed. ‘What are you working on, or should I say ‘supposed’ to be working on?’
Maggie listened intently as Alex launched into detail about what she was currently studying, the redhead talking animatedly, pointing to different diagrams and notes in the books she had laid out in front of her. The brunette couldn’t keep the smile off of her face as she listened, wondering how she was falling for such a dork.
‘I’m sorry, I must’ve bored you by telling you all of that.’ Alex ducked her head, catching Maggie staring at her.
The brunette put her hand on Alex’s arm. ‘No. I liked it. I like how excited you get talking about these kind of things, you look happy.’
‘I am happy. Not sure that the only reason is the work though…’ Alex teased.
