Dove Too Deep

Chapter 16

They had eaten breakfast, well, Cat had eaten breakfast... Kara had inhaled it. Thirty-five pancakes, a pack of bacon, and a carton of eggs later, and Kara and Cat were both seated on the couch, cuddling and watching a documentary on the progress women have made throughout the years.

Cat had never been happier, she had been dreaming of a day like this for years, and she hadn't thought it possible. She hummed happily as Kara ran her arm up and down the older woman's arm. "So, we're girlfriends," Kara said nervously.

The nervousness in the younger woman's voice caused alarms to go off in Cat's head. "I-if that's what you want, darling. I don't want to pressure you. If you need time before jumping into another relationship, I completely understand." She tried to reassure her with a smile, but she was almost sure that it came out as a pained grimace.

Kara shook her head. "You said it earlier, before breakfast, and I just wanted to make sure that it wasn't a slip of the tongue."

Cat relaxed. "It was," She said, and Kara almost completely deflated right in front of her, so the CEO hurriedly continued with her sentence. "But only because I was hoping that you wanted to be. I've wanted you to be more than just my assistant and friend for so long that I almost can't remember a time when I hadn't wanted to be the one that got to kiss you and hold your hand in public."

Kara looked elated, and she nodded. "So, then it's official. We're dating."

Cat kissed Kara's cheek and smiled. "We're dating." She said with a nod. "Alex isn't going to chop me up into little pieces and scatter me across the Pacific, is she?" She asked with a quirked brow and an -almost- sincere smirk.

Kara shook her head. "I don't think so, but we're going to have to talk to her sometime. Plus, I really need to go and talk to Eve today sometime while I'm out picking up a dress for the wedding that you randomly invited me to."

Cat laughed. She didn't want Kara to know just how nervous she was about everything; she was terrified of Agent Alexandra Danvers, but she was mortified that Evelyn Tessmacher was going to steal Kara's heart entirely during their conversation... After all, Kara had admitted that she would've been happy with Eve and that she loved Eve almost as much as Cat. The younger woman was smart, funny, charismatic, kind, loyal to a fault, selfless, and attractive. She had all of the traits that Cat herself had, but with the bonus of being Kind, Selfless, and Attractive. How on Earth had Kara been foolish enough to choose me over her?

"Well, Darling. I'm going to be the envy of everyone at that party... Including the bride and groom." She said as she pecked the Kryptonian woman on the cheek.

Kara smiled. "You've got it backward, Cat. I'm going to be the one everyone is jealous of because I've got the country's most eligible Bachelorette on my arm."

Cat smiled. "I'm pretty sure Supergirl is the most eligible bachelorette. Wasn't that according to Vogue? I was number two, right under one of the Olsen twins."

"Ashley," Kara said with a chuckle.

Cat huffed and rolled her eyes as she smiled. "You actually read that article?"

Kara shrugged. "I figured looking wouldn't hurt. I wasn't the least bit surprised that you were in it."

Cat scoffed. "Honestly, Kara."

Kara laughed. "You honestly, love me" She crooned as she leaned in and kissed Cat on the lips.

Electricity flowed through Cat just like every time they kissed, but this time the kiss was tender and slow; passionate. Kara pulled back and smiled. "I love you, Cat."
