A Boy from Daxam and a Girl from Krypton

Crush

I continued to do my routine. Day after day. And little by little I started to let go.

Sometimes I day dream about him never leaving. We walk down the street hand in hand. Laughing. His shoulder sways into mine. Suddenly, I slammed into someone, spilling my coffee all over them.

"I'm so sorry." I say leaving my thoughts. I look up to see a tall handsome man.

"I'm glad you did or I wouldn't have met the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." He says with a smile.

"Ohh..tthank you." I studder. I could feel my cheeks get hot.

"I'm Calvin, by the way. It's nice to meet you." He reaches his hand out towards me.

"I'm Kara. Kara Danvers." I shook his hand. It sent chills down my back.

"Well Kara, would you like to grab some dinner tonight?" Calvin asks.

"Yes! I mean I'd love to." I blurt out.

"Great. Then it's a date." He turns the corner leaving me blushing in the hallway of CatCo.

I rushed home to get ready.

Someone hadn't made me feel that way since Mon-el. When his hand met mine my whole body started to tingle. I began thinking about his bright blue eyes and his spiked up hair.

I scanned through my closet. I tried on several dresses but none of them were perfect. Oh, who I am kidding, I need Alex. And I miss her so much.

The only reason I've been so cold is because I'm protecting her. After losing someone so close, I couldn't risk it. Everybody that I love, always slips away. I begin looking again. And then I find the dress. It was the dress Alex gave me for my birthday. I quickly put it on. There was a knock at the door. It was Calvin in a black suit. His eyes sparkled whenever he talked.

"You look astonishing." He says linking my arm and leading me to his car.

After dinner, we walked under the stars. The streetlights reflected off the tall buildings. When we reached the outside of my building, I hug him goodnight and go inside. My face was unable to frown. My eyes were unable to cry. For the first time in six months, I was happy.

And I think I have a crush on Calvin.
