Say You Won't Let Go (KaraxMonEl - KIKO Series)

Chp 6 - Out Of My League

Waking up the next morning first thing Kara do was cursing, What the hell happened last night? She wasn't in a state of still-drunk though she could feel this sour taste in her mouth. The taste made her cringe. She checked her phone, it's 6:30am.

The sun light sweeped the room, throwing shades of the window frames along the floorboard. After such a long night she had, she wished she could just lay on bed all day today. But it's Thursday morning, she needs to work and she got works to do. So she got up, brushed her teeth, freshen up her face, and then walked to wherever this delicious smell of fresh pancakes come from.

"Morning sis! How's your sleep?" Alex greeted Kara as she walked to the kitchen.

"I've had better sleep", she slumped to the stool and placed her head on the table.

"Aw.. Are you still drunk, feeling dizzy?"

"Hey I never get drunk"

"Denying proves you did. I don't understand how it's still in your system. You have a fast metabolism." Kara shrugged, agreeing Alex. "Eat your pancakes" Alex gave her a plate of pancakes. She then handed her the syrup, a bowl of chocolate chips, and a glass of warm milk. She's reaching and drinking the milk first.

"I think that drink was a little bit too strong for me", Kara said as she's drinking her milk, she wiped the white liquidy foam on the corner of her mouth.

"What were you drinking anyway?"
Alex took a seat next to Kara while eating her pancakes.

"Conner.." she paused a brief second, saying his name burst butterflies in her stomach. She poured the chocolate then took a piece of her pancake. "..he bought me the drink. I think I had too much"

"Yeah you told me. Shots and red drink?"

"Yes. I didn't know what it was though. But it tasted better than the rum I've once tasted. But now, the after taste, blehh" Kara made a cringe on her face.

"Well if you're still feeling it, and want me to check you over at the DEO..."

"No, it's fine. I'm fine" Kara assured Alex. She took another bite of pancake.

"Alright.. So.. Have you texted Mon El?"

Kara almost drop her fork when she heard his name. Now that Alex mentioned it, she just realized that after Mon El left her apartment last night, she haven't texted or called him. A rush of guilt came to her.

"N-no, I haven't", Kara answered looking down at her plate, playing with her chocolate chips before she took another bite.

"Why?"

"Beeeecausee......"

"Because?"

"...Conner texted me."

"What? Two guys in one night?" Alex dropped her fork, looking directly at Kara. Concerned look on her face.

"Ugh. It wasn't like that, Alex"

"You guys exhanged numbers?"

"Possibly. He texted me. That means we exchanged number right?"

"What did he say?"

Ugh, question much.
"He asked me.. for... a lunch", she exclaimed. The pancake is half gone. She better eat her pancake and finish her breakfast ASAP before Alex gave her thirty questions.

"What....", Alex gave her a confused look. Her brows furrowed. "I thought you like Mon El" Kara gave her the look.

"What? You kissed him last night. And you still haven't told me what happened by the way.. What did you say to Conner?", Alex asked curiously.
