The way Lena was looking at her, the dark hair falling slightly in her face. Her lips where a light pink from her lipstick. She must have come straight from work because she still had on a white button up shirt and a pair of navy blue pin striped pants. She was staring into her eyes, not just staring but looking into her. They had only seen each other for a moment and yet Kara had no issue confirming her earlier thought, oh yes, she was in love with Lena Luthor, and that is what made this so hard.
She invited her girlfriend in and tried to act as non-nervous which was almost impossible for her.
"Are you cooking?" Lena asked, her voice shaking a bit with every word.
Kara headed into the kitchen. "Yeah, well I'm trying. I'm doing my best to make chicken and macaroni and cheese, but it's kind of coming out as cheese noodle soup and dried chicken."
The nervous woman laughed and touched Kara's arm gently. "Maybe I should cook."
"Yeah maybe." Kara felt the warm touch of her girlfriend, even though it was Lena she was nervous about her touch still calmed her.
She watched the more talented cook look through her refrigerator for something other than the horrible food she had attempted to produce. This was probably the best time to let her know what she had to say.
"Do you want some wine?" Kara said instead of what she needed to say.
Lena put some vegetables on the counter. "Uh-yeah, wine sounds great." She wanted to yell, she wanted tell Kara to say what she needed to say. There was no amount of alcohol that would make breaking up any easier.
A sudden wave of panic came over her. Was this what they were doing? Breaking up? No way, she would not invite her here and make her cook if she was just going to break up with her. Kara is sweet and loving, not cruel. Lena had to take a breath to calm herself down, and remind herself that everything was going to be okay.
The bottle was opened and Kara took a huge drink, she could not get drunk but at least she could try to gain some courage from the dark red liquid. Lena had a huge drink from a long stemmed glass and started making the food. Before they knew it about fifteen minutes had passed and Lena had made Kara stir a pot full of a white sauce that smelled like heaven.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Lena asked chopping carrots. It was time, she needed to know what was going on.
The nerves built up inside the young blonde, her stomach was doing flips and her hands were starting to shake. It was not fair to keep Lena waiting, but it also was not fair that she had to break up with her but if being with put her in danger then she had too. She took another sip of wine and started to talk.
"Before I tell you I want you to know that I love you, and that will never change." With those words Lena was slowly starting to realise that Kara was in fact breaking up with her. "I will always love you even if we're not together." Kara got straight to the point with what came next. "I can't have this, me being with you it just can't happen. I'm sorry."
Kara was dying from the inside just screaming at herself for not just telling Lena who she really was, but this was safer. Lena finely talks, "why" she asked. "It puts you in danger." Kara was debating on weather or not to tell her it's because she is supergirl.
"How the hell does loving somone put you in danger" Lena screaming mixed with crying is just too much for Kara and she breaks. "Because... I'm Supergirl." Both of them shut up after that.
Kara now afraid that Lena will hate her even more but no Lena just hugs her. Kara was really confused buy Lena clears it up for her. "Baby I knew that, but Kara just because your Supergirl does not mean you put me in danger, in fact you have saved me more times then I can count." "It's Lex and Lillian that try so hard to kill me, not being with you" Lena explains.
