You Re Dating-Personal Narrative

“You’re dating?” Alex looks at Maggie incredulously before turning back to the nervous couple across the table. Kara looked like a puppy preparing to be scolded while Lena’s outward demeanor was calm, as always, but her eyes betrayed her. Alex saw fear trapped in their greenness. Fear of what, Alex didn’t know. Kara is the first to speak after the question is asked. “Yeah, we’ve been dating for a little while now and we were just looking for the right time to tell you guys.” “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Alex looks at Kara this time. Her sister never kept things from her and the fact that this was a secret stung. “Lena and I were nervous about your reaction and we didn’t want to put a strain on something incredibly new.” Alex’s eyes

The ride is mostly silent, with Kara absentmindedly stroking a thumb across the back of her girlfriend’s hand. She looks out her window at the city’s buildings and realizes how much she adores the view from below, as well as above. In the evening, they’re all brightly lit, creating a lively atmosphere on the street. Kara takes off her coat upon entering the penthouse, exposing her biceps.

Kara thinks little of it and pours two glasses, taking a moment to sip

Kara held on tight the entire time, rubbing circles into Lena’s back or brushing hair out of her face. No words were exchanged as the brunette in Kara’s arms began to finally still.
Kara brushes a few strands of hair out of Lena’s face and presses her lips to her forehead. Wordlessly, she carries Lena into the bathroom where she began a hot bath. She unzips the back of Lena’s dress, carefully sliding it off her lithe body. Kara helps her into the steaming water.
Kara helps her remove the ruined makeup from her face and helps her bathe. By the end, Lena is all but falling asleep, having been completely drained by her emotions. Kara carries her to bed and gets her into pajamas, knowing that it will be cold in the morning and being nude is likely not Lena’s preference when the forecast is so certain.
By the time the blonde has dressed herself, she assumes Lena is asleep. Her chest rises and falls at a even pace and Kara can hear her steady heartbeat. It’s soothing after such a tumultuous evening. She climbs into bed, easing in gently next to Lena and wrapping her in her arms again.
