Falling From You

Chapter 11

Kara sat in Miss Grants office, she had on a cute black and with polka-dotted dress and a white cashmere sweater. She sat on the pristine white couch that was adjacent her boss’ desk. Miss Grant was pacing in front of the couch her hands waving around as she gave Kara a very painful, very forceful tongue lashing for missing the last 8 days of work. Kara had tried to explain to her boss that there had been a family emergency and there was no time to leave any sort of note. Realistically she wasn’t totally lying, there was one hell of a family emergency and it had been going on for the last week and a bit.

Kara was still exhausted emotionally from all that had unravelled in the last week, from all her mother had put Lena through, to the fight they had, to not having spoken to her sister since slapping her in the face. It was all just one shit storm after another. She was almost thankful to be getting back to a normal routine, and her normal life. Minus her beautiful, sexy, hot girlfriend, that frankly she couldn’t keep her hands off of. It was almost painful to be away from Lena, but they met up for lunch and right now Kara was staying at her place.

Alex and Sam had taken up the apartment the sisters shared together and neither Lena nor Kara were on speaking terms with the two angels after the debacle up in the kingdom. The blonde let out a little sigh as she ran a hand through her hair turning her attention back to the red-faced woman, she was still pacing and giving the angel a strong lecture. When she finally turned to Kara her words were sharp.

“Now…The only reason you are not losing your job is because you were able to hand in the tech mogul piece on time, people were so impressed with your writing they are asking for you specifically. You are our best writer here Miss Danvers, you are so very lucky.” She crossed her arms over her chest.

“Y-yes Miss Grant, I am so so, sorry.” Kara stuttered as she stood from the couch and smoothed out her dress chewing against her lip. The blonde woman waved her off and made her way back to the large desk sitting behind it. Kara scurried from the large office and went back to her own desk flopping down on the chair covering her face with her hands. Her laptop chimed and a little bubbled popped up on the bottom of her screen. Lena had messaged her through their IM chat they started, a small smile spread against the blonde’s lips as she sat up. She tapped the little bubble with her mouse and the chat opened.

I am over this day already…I just want to be home with you…

The blonde giggled and began typing. I know what you mean, I just got the biggest lecture from Miss Grant about missing work.

The three little dots appeared at the bottom of the screen as Lena typed her response. I can come talk to her you know.

No, no I don’t need big bad Lena coming in and saving the day. I will see you tonight. Love you.

Across the city Lena sat at her desk, she huffed slightly seeing Kara’s response but replied with a quick love you too before turning back to her work. Big bad Lena, her butt, she wasn’t that mean, although her instinct to protect her bond had grown ten-fold the more she felt for Kara. Julia had covered for Lena the best she could over the last week, but things were beginning to pile up. The poor assistant was so relieved to see the raven-haired tech mogul walk into the building this morning. Lena had a crap ton of paper work to go through as well as a few meetings with some possible investors.

Five o’clock finally rolled around and the brunette closed her laptop exiting her office, she had finished most of the paperwork that needed to be done another day over with. She said her good-byes to her assistant before making her way into the parking garage towards her red Jaguar F-type. Lena was distracted by her phone, she was ordering some food for the night when she felt another presence around her. Her head snapped up as her body tensed and looked around the empty garage, her eyes scanning the area, there was a figure leaning against her car.
