Where Are We Now

Chapter 12

Kara laid in her bed feeling peaceful for the first time in a long time. She remembered the events from the day before as if it was a distant bad memory. She also remembered spending the whole night being loved by Oliver in ways she never was before. Every wound inside her heart was healed, every ache and pain she felt previously, were now gone. He was an expert when it came to dealing with grief, sadly, but he knew just what to do and what to say. Kara knew Oliver didn't like to talk about things like that, he never opened up with anyone, but that day, he felt he could trust her, he could open up to her.

She asked for it and she heard stories about his father killing himself while Oliver was with him, and how he did it so Oliver could survive. She heard stories about a guy named Slade Wilson making Oliver chose between his mother and his sister, but his mother decided to sacrifice herself for her children and he drove a sword into her heart. He told her about the son he had just discovered, and how his life was at risk because of who he was for so many times he was obligated to live without him, without even knowing how he was. He told her about when his best friend died and there was nothing he could do, when Laurel, his friend and fellow hero from his team also died in front of his eyes and there was nothing he could do. Kara hugged him strongly when he told her about his life, she had never met anyone that could endure so much pain like that and still stay strong to help his city and others. Kara had a new perspective of Oliver since she heard it all. She felt she finally knew him better and it helped her to understand more about him. They were so different, but now it all made sense.

Kara slowly opened her eyes as she welcomed that beautiful morning. She still felt responsible for the lives that were lost, and she feared people wouldn't understand or forgive her for that boy dying, but she decided she would figure it all out one step at the time, with Oliver's help as he promised her. She looked at the door just to see Oliver coming back to the bedroom, only in his boxers and carrying a tray with food that smelled deliciously.

- I can't believe you brought me breakfast in bed... - She said as she sat properly, wearing his shirt and resting her back on the headboard as she took the tray and put it in her lap. – You are the best...

- I thought you'd like to recharge your energies. – He smiled at her as he sat next to her on the bed.

- I love you so much more for that... After last night, I totally need it – She blushed, bringing her hand to his cheek as she kissed him.

Oliver kissed her back and rested his forehead on hers, taking a deep breath.

- I better let you eat – He laughed as Kara enjoyed the fresh bacon.

- You better! – She laughed as she gave him a piece of her bacon – I can share it. – She smirked at him.

As soon as they finished, Oliver took the tray and put it on the floor, going back to lay on the bed. She held him by the waist as she pulled him to herself, kissing him right away. She was addicted to him and had a feeling it was going to be hard to get up from the bed. Oliver gave kisses through her neck and looked at her with a wicked look in his eyes as his mouth traveled down her body slowly, kissing a few spots on its way down without breaking eye contact. Kara's heart raced as she felt his tongue on her stomach.

- Ollie... - She whispered as her hands reached for his hair, making a mess of it while he made a mess of her.

As she felt him devour her with way more want than he did with the bacon earlier, she moaned out loud, feeling the usual amazing feelings taking over her.

- Kara? Are you awake? – Kara heard Alex's voice coming from the front door.

She jumped up in fright as Oliver stopped abruptly and looked at Kara in fright. He sat beside her as they looked innocent. Kara mentally kicked Alex's butt as she felt frustration taking over her. Oliver gave her a look he would take care of it later and she smiled at him, giving him a kiss when Sara and Alex entered the bedroom.
