Expect the Unexpected

Roses

Three days had past, but instead of crying and drinking, Maggie would smile and wake up in a good mood.

Alex was supposed to come home today.

Maggie's heart fluttered. She was so damn excited to see her girlfriend. She couldn't wait to kiss her, hold her, and most importantly, tell her that she loved her.

The excitement overwhelmed Maggie so much that she decided she needed a distraction.

She decided that the apartment should be spotless for Alex whenever she returned, so she grabbed some cleaning supplies from the closet. Before she began, she slipped out of her shirt and jeans, leaving her in only her black Calvin Klein bra and underwear. She plopped her headphones in her ears, and she began to listen to the Spice Girls.

Alex had successfully saved her sister, and they celebrated together before Alex knew it was time to go home. Even better, it was time to go home to Maggie.

Before she went, though, she stopped by a store close to the apartment complex. She bought Maggie a dozen red roses. She knew they were Maggie's favorite, and all she wanted to do was make her smile.

Whenever Alex got home, her heart skipped a beat. Oh how she had missed this.

She grabbed the roses and walked up the stairs to her door. Before she went inside, she heard Maggie singing. Just that made her feel whole again. After listening to her girlfriend sing for a minute, she unlocked the door and walked inside.

Maggie was so focused on her dancing and her cleaning that she didn't even hear Alex come inside.

Alex sat down the roses on the counter and turned around to watch Maggie. She giggled to herself at how cute she looked dancing around in her underwear before she snuck up behind her and wrapped her arms around her waist. She swayed her hips in sync with Maggie's hips.

The feeling of cold hands on her stomach made Maggie jump. When she realized whose hands they were, she paused her music and sat down her phone on the table she was cleaning. She sighed and leaned into Alex's embrace.

"Danvers..." She said softly.

Alex melted at the sound of Maggie saying her name.

"Sawyer..." She whispered before she kissed the back of her neck.

Maggie shivered at Alex's touch, but then she turned around to face her. Her expression went from pure bliss to a sense of worry.

Alex knew it was time to apologize.

"Listen...I know you didn't mean what you said when we fought." Maggie said softly.

Alex hugged her tightly before she responded.

"I didn't mean a single word I said. God, Maggie, I am so sorry for what I did. I know I hurt you, but please forgive me." She said, her voice a little shaky.

Maggie smiled.

"I forgive you."

Alex picked the tiny detective up and carried her over to the couch. She sat her down in her lap and wrapped her arms around her slim waist.

"I need to tell you something." Alex said.

Maggie's heart raced. Was it time? Was Alex going to say she loved her? Trying not to look too eager, she replied.

"Yes, babe?"

Alex took a deep breath.

"You know how I said you didn't have to worry about me liking Supergirl?" She replied.

Maggie shook her head.

"Yes...What about it?" She questioned.

"Well...She's my sister." She replied with a smile.

Maggie blushed a deep shade of red.

"N...No way!" She exclaimed.

Alex giggled at her reaction.

"Yep. Kara Danvers is indeed Supergirl! That's my sister." She said.

Maggie laughed in embarrassment.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry for accusing you of liking her!"

Alex leaned in and kissed Maggie's cheek.

"Don't worry about it." She replied playfully.

Alex's fingertips traced the outline of Maggie's underwear, and she could feel her body shift underneath her.

Maggie's body instantly reacted to the feeling of Alex's calloused fingertips. She smirked and looked at her.

"Got something on your mind?" She asked seductively.

Alex bit her lip while she slipped her fingers under the elastic of Maggie's underwear.

"Not something..." She could feel the heat from in between Maggie's thighs as she moved her fingers closer to where she ached to be touched the most. "Someone..." She cooed into Maggie's ear.

Maggie melted into Alex, and naturally, she spread her legs for her. Just when she thought she was going to get what she was yearning for, Alex took her hand out of her underwear. Maggie groaned.

Before Maggie had the chance to respond, Alex silenced her with a kiss- a deep, passionate one that swept Maggie off of her feet.

"I have a surprise for you, but you have to close your eyes and stay here until I'm done."

Maggie groaned, but then she smiled. She couldn't wait to see what Alex was going to do.

After Maggie climbed out of her lap, Alex made sure her eyes were closed, and then she got up. She quickly walked over to the counter and grabbed the roses off of it.

She walked into the bedroom and opened the flowers. She ripped off the petals and arranged them on her white sheets. Whenever she was finished, she left the remaining rose on Maggie's pillow, and then she stepped back to admire her artwork.

I love you.

She lit two candles and sat them on the night stands before she called for Maggie. She left her clothes on; she ached for Maggie to rip them off of her.

"Come in here, babe." Alex called.

Maggie leaped off of the couch and skipped into the bedroom. She noticed that the lights were off, and she could smell the scent of the candles. Then, her heart stopped completely whenever she read the message on the bed.

Maggie teared up, and before she could say it back, Alex came up to her. She looked into Alex's eyes.

"Maggie Sawyer," she kissed her forehead, "you are so," she kissed her cheek, "so beautiful," she kissed her other cheek, "I am so in love with you." She whispered before she kissed Maggie's lips.

Maggie melted into Alex's kiss, cupping her cheeks with her hands before Alex pulled away for air.

"Alex Danvers," she started, "I knew from the moment I met you at that crime scene that I was going to fall for you. I knew then that I had found my soulmate. And...I know we are going to fight, and we are going to tackle some bumps in the road, but I know that we can overcome them all..." She trailed off, in awe of Alex's beauty.

"I love you, too. So much." She finished.

Alex's heart skipped a beat. Maggie loved her. The overwhelming feeling of love and happiness was almost too much for her to handle.

Maggie bit her lip before she kissed Alex again. This time, she pushed Alex gently down onto the bed, and she straddled her waist. The rose petals scattered across the bed, and some fell on the floor.

Alex gasped at the sudden weight over her. She kissed Maggie back, gripping her hips lovingly. She smirked before she broke the kiss.

"All of my hard work on your surprise is ruined..." She cooed, her voice dropping an octave.

Maggie leaned down and kissed Alex's neck, making her hips grind into hers.

"The petals look better on the floor anyway."
