it was 5pm on a friday, and most of the people in the office are scrambling to get as much of this week's work done before they go home so that they wouldn't have to come back on Monday with piles of this week's work waiting for them.
everyone, except for me, i guess. lena has had a pretty successful yet uneventful week which leaves me to a peaceful end to the work week.
therefore i was now helping kelly out with the pile of paperwork she had stacked on her table. that was, until the telephone on my table rang. i quickly pressed the intercom button.
"yes, ms luthor?" i answered as my hands kept busy, filing the papers.
"y/n, could you come into my office please?" her sweet voice filled the speaker of the telephone.
"alright, i'll be right in"
i let out a sigh as i stood up and did a quick stretch. i briefly apologised to kelly, but she just waved me off, too engrossed in her own work.
i knocked on her glass door twice before letting myself in. lena, who was seated on her chair looks up at me and flashes me a grin. i immediately felt my heart doing backflips at the sight in front of me.
"did you ask me to come in here to assist you with something or did you just miss me?" i asked jokingly as i walked over to her desk.
lena puts shuts her laptop close and laughs lightly, blood evidently rushing to her cheeks.
"the latter," she simply replied as she stood up from her chair, and walked towards me who was on the other side of the table. she stood with her back leaning against the table before she interlaces my fingers with hers.
ever since we established our feelings for each other two weeks ago, she's been.. well, clingy. not that i minded, i like it actually. i enjoy her company, and being with her now that we have cleared the air between us just makes things ten times better.
"cute, but you can't possibly call me in and keep me in here whenever you miss me," i raised an eyebrow, my thumb rubbing small circles on her hand.
she just gives me a cheeky grin before nodding in agreement. "alright, then. let's go"
my nose scrunches up in confusion, but lena has already let go of my hand and was already packing her things into her purse.
"where are we going? you have nothing else scheduled for the day," i questioned, my eyes following her excited movements around her office.
she turns around to look at me with feign confusion on her face. "do i not? you must have missed it out. come on," she says before grabbing my hand once again and leading me out of her office.
feeling paranoid about other people seeing us this close, i immediately let go of her hand the moment i stepped outside. she notices and gives me a small, understanding smile.
i grabbed my purse and bid a quick goodbye to kelly before running after lena, who was already entering the elevator. wherever we were heading, lena was definitely excited.
"nice of you to join me," she laughs as i barely made it into the elevator before the doors closed.
"you didn't give me time to pack my things," i rolled my eyes in feign annoyance, "where are we heading to anyway? i'm gonna need to input the address in my gps"
the elevator doors open with a ding as we reached the lobby of l-corp. from here i could see that lena's car wasn't at the pick up point. my mouth opened as my anxiety rises, immediately stopping where i was so that i could call lena's chauffeur to bring over her car.
whenever we had to go for work trips lena always made sure to remind me that time is precious and she shouldn't be waiting for anything. it was why i always ensured everything would be prepared for her beforehand, but not today.
i quickly took out my phone and fumbled with it with my shaky hands, trying to call her chauffeur.
lena quickly realises that i have fallen behind and quickly walked back over to me. "hey, what's wrong, what are you doing?"
i held my phone to my ear as i waited for the chauffeur to answer, looking at her pleadingly. "i forgot to call for your car, i'm so sorry"
i felt her take my hand and puts it down, and i looked at her confused. "y/n, breathe. it's me, lena" she looks at me with the softest eyes, and i almost instantly turn into putty under her gaze.
she rubs my arm soothingly and gives me a small smile.
"look, my SUV's right there. and i'm driving, so you," she tucks a strand of stray hair behind my ear, "can just sit still and be pretty"
i glanced out the door once again and indeed, there was an SUV parked there instead of her usual BMW sedan.
"that's my personal car," she says, answering the question i had in my head.
i just nodded slowly, still having a million questions running through my head. but i just didn't know what to ask first.
"you ready to go?"
another nod, and i followed as she made her way to her SUV. before i knew it, i was in the passenger seat and lena was already driving off to god knows where.
i looked over at her, very obviously admiring the sight of lena in the driver's seat. i never thought i'd see the day where she drives, i didn't even know she had a license.
it was a very attractive sight, nonetheless.
a small smile played on my lips as my eyes travelled from her focused eyes, to her sharp jawline and down to her hands that were firmly holding onto the steering wheel.
i then looked down, blood rushing to my cheeks once i realised i was blatantly staring at the luthor.
"hey, uh," she glanced at me before reaching her hand over to my thigh, "were you actually scared of me?"
i laughed slightly, "lena, everyone's scared of you"
i watched as she pursed her lips at my response, and noticed she really wasn't very happy with what i said. my hand found hers and i interlaced our fingers, rubbing the back of her hand lightly.
"lena, not only are you a public figure. you're the ceo of a major company, a luthor, and you're friends with supergirl on top of all that? you've got a major target on your back, it's only right that people are intimidated by you"
she lets out a loud sigh and nodded in agreement, but it was still evident that this was still bothering her. i brought her hand up to my lips, giving it a chaste kiss.
she glances at me again, but this time with an adorable smile, before she gives the road her full attention again.
soon enough, lena pulled over at the side of what seemed to be a big lake.
"what are we doing here?" i asked as i unbuckled my seat belt and jumped out of the SUV, before taking a sip of my water from my bottle.
"our first date," lena says nonchalantly as she walks to my side.
a cough leaves my system as i choked on my water upon hearing lena's words. she just laughs, patting my back to help me clear my lungs.
"what?!"
"wait here," she chirped before running to the back of the SUV and opened the trunk. i waited patiently, watching as she practically climbs into the trunk to do god knows what. after waiting for a while, she was still at it and my curiosity couldn't take it any longer.
i slowly walked over to where she was and when i tell you that my jaw dropped.
"lena, what the hell!" i gasped, walking closer to the trunk where lena was frantically preparing what looked like a car picnic.
the back passenger seats were collapsed to make cushions. fairy lights were hung from one seat to another. a comfy looking mat sprawled across the now spacious trunk. pillows and blankets against the sides of the car.
it looked like something straight out of a romcom.
"happy...! first date...?" lena exclaimed with slight confusion in her tone as she cocked her head to the side.
oh, my heart.
"sorry, i've never really done this before," she mumbled to herself, scratching the back of her neck nervously.
i smiled.
i climbed up onto the trunk right where lena was and practically jumped on her to give her the longest, warmest hug. my face nuzzled up against her neck, and i felt her let out a content sigh as her arms tightened around my waist.
this was the nicest thing someone has ever prepared for me.
"i was starting to think you were never going to take me out," i joked as we pulled away slightly.
her mouth opened slightly in feign offence as she smacked my arm jokingly.
i shuffled around so i was seating cross legged beside her, leaning against the seats. she interlaced our fingers and i rested my head on her shoulder.
"look," her other hand pointed outside towards the sky.
the car was parked right before the lake jetty, and i only just realised that we were able to clearly see the horizon. and just nice, the sun was starting to set.
everything seemed perfect.
"god, what a view," i breathed out as my eyes were locked on the horizon, genuinely amazed.
"tell me about it," i heard lena reply.
i turned to look at her, only to realise that she was already staring at me. my hand flew to my mouth as i cringed, and tried to keep myself from laughing.
"alright, that's a red flag"
she groaned in feign annoyance. "what, why?! isn't that what all the couples do in the movies when they watch the sunset or something nice together? one of them goes i like the view, and then the other goes you're my best view"
i burst out laughing and she did so too, hitting my thigh to get me to stop.
"that's exactly why it's a red flag! look, this whole set up is cute– heck, you're cute," i cupped her face with my hands, "but that– was not it"
she rolled her eyes before smacking my hands away from her face, "you're just lame."
i watched as she took out picnic basket, which i'm not sure how i missed out, and started taking out plates of sushi. i immediately jumped in my seat and clapped my hands excitedly at the sight in front of me.
i was an absolute slut for sushi, and i was surprised she knew that. i looked at the platter in front of me, it was everything that i liked. mentaiko salmon nigiri, corn mayo gunkan, salmon roe gunkan.
my mouth was practically watering at this point.
"make out with the sushi, why don't you?"
i bit my lip as i turned to look at her with a grateful smile on my face. "how'd you know i loved all these?"
"i have my ways," she shrugged her shoulders with a prideful expression on her face.
i rolled my eyes, not really caring anyways because i was having such a perfect evening alone with the woman i'm mad for, eating food that i love, with soulful music playing in the background.
like i said, it was perfect.
by the time we devoured all the food, the sun has completely set and lena and i were lying down, cuddled under the blankets she brought as we talked about anything under the sun. well– moon, since it has become night time.
"lena?"
"mhm?"
i lifted my head up from her chest to look up at her, who was already looking down at me with a smile.
"be my girlfriend?"
a groan immediately leaves lena's lips upon hearing my question, and i followed suit.
"oh come on! you just ruined a perfectly romantic moment," i groaned at her reaction. i knew it was because she wanted to be the one to pop the question, but i couldn't help it.
i didn't know when she was going to ask it, and i wanted her to be my girlfriend now.
"seriously y/n? i told you i wanted to plan the perfect proposal for you to be my girlfriend"
i sat up and crossed my arms, cocking my head to the side. "i'm not hearing a yes or a no, are you rejecting my offer?"
lena crossed her arms as well, looking like a kid who had just gotten their candy taken away. it was an adorable sight, to say the least.
i scooted closer so that i was right in front of her, my hand reaching out to her face. "so.... do i get to call you my girlfriend?"
she leant into my touch as she bit her lip to suppress a smile. "that does sound tempting.... okay, fine"
i clapped my hands excitedly before jumping onto lena and pressing my lips onto hers for the first time since two weeks ago.
my hands travelled round her neck as she pulled closer till i was hovering over her, our lips staying locked. other than sushi, the taste of her lips has got to be one of the most intoxicating and addicting thing ever.
i lightly bit her bottom lip which elicited a small whine from the luthor, and i smirked into the kiss. it was such a pain to have had to hold myself back from kissing her whenever i saw her for the past two weeks, and i sure as hell was making up for all that time now.
after a while we pulled away, both of us panting for air.
"god, y/l/n. you really are something, huh?"
a/n
might.....?? do a part 3......???????????
