The hangar at Star Labs was fully on Christmas mode, with beautiful decoration and a lot of food and drinks. Team Flash decided to host the biggest holiday party they've ever done, starting on pre Christmas Eve. Barry was glad to have that extra space at Star Labs because every single year, the teams of superheroes got bigger. Little by little people started to arrive and soon, everyone was having fun dancing together, catching up, exchanging gifts and having a good time.

Oliver and Thea talked to Alex, Lena and Sara at a table, laughing and joking, telling stories of their life and adventures. Oliver tried to focus on the conversation buts his mind kept going far away, wondering if she was really coming. He loved to celebrate Christmas with his loved ones and this was the first year he had someone he was deeply in love with, to share the celebrations with, but no one knew. Hee stared at the door and saw Kara arriving, looking like an angel and he couldn't stop admiring her. She had a beautiful light red, knee-length dress, black low heels and she had her hair half up and half loosen, falling in beautiful golden curls around her shoulder and back.

Kara and Oliver were seeing each other for a while now, but in secret, so he couldn't actually hug and kiss her in front of everyone. They both decided to wait to tell everyone else because they wanted to enjoy each other without people commenting or making a big deal of it for a while. Neither had good experiences exposing their relationships in the past, and it was also fun and exciting. The only down side of it, was at times like these, where he got to finally see her in person in front of other people, but couldn't kiss her like he wanted to. He took a deep breath, and as soon as she got closer to everyone around Oliver, she greeted them with a hug until she got to Oliver, feeling her heart slamming against her chest.

- You look stunning – He whispered, as he hugged her. – I really want to kiss you.

- Me too... – She said, trying her best to hold back and keep her hands off of him

- Check your phone - He whispered back quickly before letting go of her hug.

Kara turned to greet everyone else around the hangar and picked her phone up, reading the text Oliver has sent her.

"I have a Christmas gift for you, but it's a surprise. Just pack your bags later; I'll stop by to pick you up."

She turned to look at him, and smiled, nodding with her head, making him smile in return.

"I'll be there. I also have something for you too."

- It's everything ok? – Alex asked finding weird how much Oliver was smiling while checking his phone.

- Yes... Yes, everything is great – He nodded, going for a drink.

It had been a few weeks since Oliver and Kara started to see each other, but in secret and every single time they saw each other, it became even harder to hide their feelings from everyone else. They both wanted to enjoy each other's company in peace for a while before letting other people know, so there was always some new excuse they came up with to escape together and at least Kara was sure that some of their friends were getting suspicious. Of everyone, only Lena knew about them because she found out by accident, but Kara felt a huge relief that she had at least one person to talk about it because sometimes, she felt like she could go crazy at any second, with so many emotions running wild in secret.

- The sparks between you two could easily set this place on fire – Lena said as she approached Kara – I can't believe the others still have no idea – She laughed – This is so funny.
