Wondergirl

Too Close

A quiet gasp wakes me up early in the morning. I remain calm as the beauty that was waking up in my arms. I feel move as my arm is still around her. I even my breaths as her head moves, probably to look at me.

"Shit." She whispers.

I slowly open my eyes in the slightest to see her. She uses one arm to push herself up slowly, and I let my arm fall off of her. She looks up at me and reaches to almost touch my face. Almost. My breath hitches and she stops.

She untangled her legs from mine. I watch as she lifts herself off of me. Her shirt was a little elevated so I got a glimpse of her stomach and perfect abs. I feel my face heat up so I close eyes and try to relax.

"I know you're awake." She says quietly.

I say nothing to plead ignorance and keep my body still.

"Whatever. Maybe I'm just seeing things. I can't believe I spent the night. Well I can believe that, what I want believe is that I slept with you. Maggie will be pissed." Alex groans.

I make a face at the sound of Maggie's name. Alex probably saw it as she sighs.

"I knew you were up. And I know. I'm sorry about last night. You shouldn't have seen that. With Maggie or me." Alex sighs, sitting next to me.

I open my eyes and see her with her head in her hands. I sit up and place a hand on her shoulder for comfort.

"Alex, I am your friend. I will risk my life for you. I will be there to defend and protect you, and I don't mind being there for the emotionally hard times too. I want to say you deserve better but I know not of your situation. I know she makes you happy too." I say firmly and lovingly.

She turns and smiles.

She reaches over and connects our hands together. We stay like that for a moment until her phone goes off.

"Danvers." She answers.

I watch as she faces goes from firm and professional to concerned. I sit up all the way and wait to ask what was wrong.

After a few minutes she tells the other line that shes on her way and gets up. She turns and looks at me for a second before choosing to leave.

"Something came up that I have to attend to. Don't make Kara worry. She's too close to this. We should be able to handle this." Alex says, and yet her confidence wavers.

I nod, not knowing what was happening, hoping she would be ok.

A minute or so later, Kara hops out in a blue cardigan, white striped buttoned up, and a short plaid skirt. My eyes go wide at the change from her Supergirl suit, to casual or this. She still looked beautiful to me though.

"Hey so I have to work. If you want, I have some clothes that may fit. You can accompany me to work that way you're not stuck here." Kara smiles.

We go into her closet and she gives me a dress with the top half a solid cotton black and the bottom a floral lace pattern.
