Ch 46. I'm Thankful For You

Friendsgiving - Day before Thanksgiving

Lena POV

Thanksgiving means food and fun right? Spend time with family and friends. Nothing new. We've been doing it for a couple of years now but this year doesn't feel happy. I feel anxious as I'm getting ready for Friendsgiving at Sam's house. This year I invited Kelvin to join the gathering since we're friends. We're getting closer, he's a great nice guy.

I guess I'm just nervous when (Y/N) sees Kelvin at the gathering. I knew she didn't like him when I first introduced them. I don't even know why. Maybe that's how (Y/N) is when meeting new people? Is it possible that she's jealous? No. She can't. She's with Kara.

I actually tried talking to the older CEO throughout the week before today. She would text me that she's busy and can't take calls. Whenever I text her during the day, she replies to me late in the night. Was she really that busy? Is (Y/N) avoiding me because of Kelvin?

Location: Sam's House

When I got to Sam's place with a pumpkin pie and cheesecake, the first thing I noticed was that (Y/N) is not here. Kara is socializing with James and Winn. I found Kelvin with Sam setting up the table but once he saw me, he quickly grabbed the food off my hands to set it at the table.

"Hey! You're finally here." He hugs me once he sets the food down.

"Yeah." I awkwardly say. I don't even know why I'm being awkward.

Kelvin and I talked to each other most of the time while we waited for everyone else to arrive. As time passes, (Y/N) is still not here. Everytime the door opens for someone to enter, I was hoping it would be (Y/N). Should I text her if she's coming over? No, I can just simply ask Kara, she should know where she is.

When Kelvin headed to the bathroom, I went over to Kara.

"Kara!" I give a warm hug which she gladly gives back.

"Lena! I see that Kelvin and you are getting closer." She comments.

"Yeah. I guess we are? I mean it's nothing really."

"You sure? Kelvin seems like a nice guy." Winn adds in. I see that James is feeling awkward about this but he holds his tongue.

"Yeah he is but I don't know. Anyways, Kara. Where's (Y/N)? I see that she's not here yet."

"Oh um. I thought you knew?" The hero says.

"Know what?"

Winn helps her out, "(Y/N) is not in the city. She's in Japan for a business trip."

"Since when?!" I say too quickly.

"Since Sunday, Lena. She didn't tell you?" Kara looks equally puzzled as me.

No wonder she hasn't taken any of my calls. That's the reason she would text me back late at night due to time zones. Why didn't she tell when we had dinner? She could have given me a heads up. I felt kinda sad that I don't get to see the meta human eat tons of food.

"Oh." I sounded sad.

"Are you missing the military murderer? It's a good thing she's not here to ruin the gathering." James slips his tongue. He already drank too many.

I glared at the drunken man. I want to slap the man for accusing (Y/N) for untrue things. Winn pushes him back.

"Dude. You've been drinking too much. Either you behave or leave." Winn says in a harsh tone. I can't believe Winn is still dealing with his shit.
