Falling From You

Chapter 3

Kara stood in front of her tiny closet for the second time that week trying to figure out what on earth she was going to wear to her dinner with Lena. She settled for an aqua blue sleeveless dress that fit her curves perfectly. She decided to pull her hair to the side and pin it in the back so her golden locks where draped over her shoulder. She even put on eyeliner, mascara, and a pink lipstick. She stood in front of her mirror and smoothed out her dress nervously, she looked at her reflection her eyes surprisingly anxious.

There was part of Kara that didn’t even care about the article, she didn’t care about the questions she just wanted to be in the same room as the green eyed brunette. There was something pulling her to Lena, and she didn’t understand it. Once she was satisfied and finished giving herself a mini pep talk Kara walked out of her bedroom. She passed Alex, who was lounging on the couch watching some sort of cooking show on tv. The redhead turned and sat up as her sister walked by.

“Well don’t you look nice.” Alex raised her eyebrow slowly. “Even got on some make-up huh.”

Kara blushed shaking her head slowly gathering her purse along with her notebook. “I’m just making sure I look presentable. Don’t get any idea’s.” Kara walked over to her sister and kissed her forehead. “I will see you later. Love you.”

“I love you too…Don’t do anything stupid!” Alex called after her settling back into the couch.

Kara had called a taxi and gave him the address, she fumbled with her fingers the whole drive over. Across the city Lena was dancing around her kitchen preparing dinner, she had changed out of her annoying monkey suit and put on a loose-fitting pair of jeans and a sleeveless hoodie. She had pulled her hair into a high ponytail having much more of a relaxed aura. One of her favorite playlists was filling up the silence of her apartment while she tapped some spices into her homemade sauce.

Kara had finally arrived at the building and looked up at the gigantic monster it was. It must have been 50 floors, and of course Lena’s place was the penthouse. She gave the door attendant a smile and walked through the open door he held making her way straight to the elevator. She pressed the penthouse button and waited as the elevator climbed the stories. The blonde walked out of the elevator and walked down the long hall and stood in front of her door. She raised her hand and hesitated before tapping her knuckles against the wood.

Lena snapped her head towards the door, something flittered within her stomach and her mood instantly brightened. She lowered down the heat on the stove wiping her hands on a hand towel and made her way to the door. She swung it open, her eyes seemed to light up at the sight of the blonde. Lena was taken a back by how beautiful the blonde looked. Kara gave the brunette a little smile and a wave, Lena stepped aside letting the blonde walk into her apartment.

“Wow…this place is massive. I think my apartment could fit inside this place like three times over.” Kara looked around slowly.

Lena trailed her eyes down the blonde’s body, her dress clung to her body in all the right places. A blush creeped up on her cheeks as she looked away shutting the door. “Thank you, it’s home I guess. Did you get here okay?” She walked back into the kitchen turning back to her dinner she was preparing.

The blonde walked through the apartment taking a look around before following Lena into the kitchen, propping herself up on the stools. She pulled her notebook from her purse and placed it on the table then dragged her eyes to the brunette. She looked much more carefree with just a pair of jeans and a hoodie. Kara couldn’t help but bit down against her lip as she noticed how low her jeans rested on her hips. She was pulled from her thoughts when Lena spoke.

“You look beautiful Miss Danvers.” Lena offered a smile, her green eyes soft and warm.

“Oh…well thank you, Miss Luthor.” She blushed as she combed her fingers through her hair.
