December can change your life✔

Sunday, December 12th

'I mean like swimming. In Dublin, I go swimming quite often with Sam. Sometimes we swim seriously as in like sporting. Other times we just joke around.' Lena tells Kara. 

'Hmm... There is a swimming pool in the village beside this one. It has been ages since I've been there. Maybe we can go?' 

Lena smiles. 'Yes! I would love that.' 

Kara and Lena look for everything they need. Lena took her swimming stuff so she doesn't have to search for a long time. Kara on the other hand has lost everything in her chaotic closet. She just grabs three bathing suits. Hoping one of them fits. And she grabs a towel. 

'Do you need an extra towel?' Kara asks. 

Lena nods in response. She only took one towel from home because it didn't fit another way. 

Both of the girls grab their bags. Kara is in the meantime tapping her phone aggressively trying to find out which bus to take to the swimming pool. 

When the right bus comes Kara and Lena get in. Kara has been paying for Lena's ticket every day now. Lena doesn't like that she does because she had enough money. Lena is planning on paying for the pool. 

When they arrive in the village 'Berrop' they walk another few minutes to the swimming pool. 

'Kara, I'm gonna pay today.' Lena states. 

'No please Lena, I have enough money and you are my guest after all.' Kara says. 

'You have been paying for all my bus tickets. And that's quite expensive.' 

'But...' 

Lena cuts Kara off. 'My mother is a millionaire. She has shit tons of money and so have I.' 

Kara is silent for a few seconds. 'You have a mother that's a millionaire?' Kara asks with her wide eyes. 'I didn't expect that at all. You're just so...' 

'So what?' Lena asks. 

'I don't know. I just didn't expect you to be rich. You're too nice for that. Well, I mean like, I don't actually know how to say it...' 

Lena laughs. 'No worries. I know you mean good by it.'

And this is the moment Lena pays for the tickets. Both girls go inside and separate into different dressing cabins. 

Kara puts on one of her bathing suits. Soon enough Kara discovers the first one doesn't fit anymore. The second one doesn't either. The third one fits... well... it's tight but it works. 

'Kara, I'm cold can you please hurry?' Lena whines from the outside of the dressing cabins. 

Kara opens the dressing cabin and sees Lena standing there in her turquoise bathing suit. Lena is very beautiful with her hair falling over her shoulders. Kara thinks her jaw actually dropped for a second. 

'Wow, Lena you look very good in your bathing suit.' 

Lena's cheeks get all red. 'Thank you.' 

'Are you uncomfortable?' Lena asks as she points to Kara with a towel wrapped around her body. 

'A bit. My bathing suit is a bit on the small side.' 

'Please Kara. It can't be that worse! Or are you going to swim with your towel wrapped around you?' Lena chuckles. 

'No, I guess I'm not.' Kara sighs as she slowly lets the towel fall off of her. As the towel leaves her body Kara looks away. 

'Kara you're beautiful!' Lena says. 

'You have nothing to worry about! And I didn't know you worked out.' Lena says as pointing to Kara's abs. 

Kara scratches her head. She has to do something when she's uncomfortable and doesn't have her glasses. 'Thanks, and yes. I work out quite a lot. I used to cycle every day to school.'

'That's nice!' 

The girls chat a bit more as they walk toward the pool area. They put their towels down on two chairs somewhere in the corner. And make their way to the big pool. Lena climbs in the pool while Kara is still on the corner doubting if she should go in. 

'Come on! It isn't that cold.' Lena yells. Kara watches as Lena dives underwater and comes back like a literal goddess rising from the water. 

'Seriously, come on!' Or I will pull you in. 

Kara jumps into the pool. She panics for a bit. That's just because she hasn't been in the water for so long. Lena is on the other hand very comfortable and puts her hand on Kara's back. 'Come on. It's okay.' She says. It works because it actually helps Kara calm down. 

Both girls swim until lunchtime and then get out of the pool to order some food. 

While Kara orders (with Lena's credit card) Lena already sits down at the chairs. She wraps her towel around her and sees Kara waiting for the food in the distance. A few minutes later Kara arrives with all the in her hands. 

Lena and Kara eat in silence but enjoy each other's company. 'You want some nachos?' Kara offers. 

'Am I hearing this correctly? Is Kara Danvers offering me food?' Lena asks while smirking. 

'Yes, I am. So if I were you I would take the offer fast. Otherwise, all the food will be gone in seconds of time.' Kara grins. Lena quickly gets some nachos and shares some of her food with Lena. 

After eating both of the girls go swimming again. 

'Want to go from the slide?' Lena asks with excitement in her voice. 

'I don't know...' Kara stumbles. 

'Come on, we will go together. Nothing can go wrong!' Lena says when already grabbing Kara's hand and taking her to the slide. The girls have to wait for a few minutes. When it's their turn Lena sits down first. 

'Come on! Let's go together. This way it's less scary.' Kara nods her head and sits down behind Lena. 

'Is it okay if I hold your shoulders?' Kara asks. 

Lena nods. 'Yeah, of course!' 

Both girls laugh when going down the slide. They have lots of fun and Kara isn't afraid anymore. 

Hours later the girls are done swimming. They showered and got dressed again. Kara took a bit longer than Lena. 

She sees Lena brushing her long black hair in the mirror. Kara waits for a bit before coming around the corner. It looks like Lena is humming a song. Kara is happy about that. She never thought Lena would be happy while staying with her. 

When the bus comes Lena and Kara sit down next to each other at the back of the bus. 

'I had a lot of fun!' Kara says. 

'Me too, I'm glad you faced your fear and went off the slide.' 

Kara smiles. 'Yes me too. It's very silly but when I was younger it was just that I was afraid you could never go back once you were in. That's why I was afraid.' 

'Hey, that's not a problem. It's very good you did that today!' 

'Thank you, Lena. It means a lot.' Kara smiles. 

'And I notice your touching issues are getting less. Am I right?' 

Lena nods. 'Yes, but that's only this way when I'm with you.' she says.
