Chapter Text
Kara never had a problem with Eve.
Not when she hooked up with Mon-El.
Not when she got herself involved in her Conversation with James.
Not even when she kept interrupting Lunch Dates she had with Lena.
Now she started to develop a slight issue every time Eve had to say something.
It started when Eve thought it was necessary to fangirl over Lena right in front of her. Yes Lena was amazing; she was smart, a genius, unstoppable and so many other things. There was no need to tell her all those things right in front of Kara, it was her job, she kept telling her everyday how great she was, there was no need for her to do the same.
Right in front of her.
Making Lena smile like that.
She deserved all the praise, just not from Eve. Kara wanted to be the only one making Lena smile that way.
Then it started with Eve getting Lena coffee, yes it was part of her job. but every time when Lena felt down, Eve got her a coffee, hot and black, just how Lena loved it.
A feeling she never really had started rising in her chest. She was jealous. She was jealous of Eve, afraid that Lena might change her mind. Eve and Kara had two things in common, blonde hair and blue eyes. Maybe Eves eyes were a little bit brighter and her smile a little bit wider and maybe that’s all it will take for Lena to realise that Kara wasn’t that amazing anymore.
It happened one day that Kara grabbed a coffee for Lena, because she had a stressful day, she even got her something sweet, just in case if she needed any sugar but Eve beat her to it. She remembered that Lena even looked at her, like she was sorry; it didn’t change the fact that Kara just threw it all away and was sulking the rest of the day. She even ignored Lena’s text until she snapped out of it.
And now they were just talking about a new employee, someone Eve was swooning over and it was nothing of interest until Kara lost it.
He got nice green eyes, just like yours.
Kara didn’t know what snapped first, her patience or her phone. Her pen broke in two pieces and her phone as well and Lena looked at her like she lost her mind. She couldn’t do it in here; there was no explanation for Kara’s ability to break phones that easily.
“If you would excuse me.”
She hold tight onto the broken pieces of the phone, trying not the rip Eve in two pieces. She closed the door and bit too hard and too fast, causing too much noise and attention. Kara tried to hide behind her desk, to calm down, to stop this nonsense but it was just so god damn hard.
She heard someone clearing her throat.
It was Eve.
“What?” It was too harsh and not fair, but right now she couldn’t care less.
“Miss Luthor needs to talk to you.”
Kara looked in Lena’s direction. She was in trouble.
“I will be there in a minute.”
She discarded the pieces of her phone before she marched towards Lena office.
“Close the door.”
Lena got her bossy CEO tone on, Kara knew better than to give her any trouble when she was in that mood.
“What’s wrong with you?” Lena sounded concerned, trying for weeks now to figure out what was going on with Kara.
“Nothing.”
“Kara you acting weird for weeks now and I don’t know what it is.”
“Like I said it’s nothing Lena.”
“It’s about Eve, isn’t it? I thought you like her?” Lena wasn’t blind; she just wasn’t used by such behaviour from her personal sunshine.
Kara’s jaw clenched when Lena’s mentioned Eves name, a movement that didn’t go unnoticed by Lena herself.
“So it is about her.”
Kara kept walking up and down, like a caged animal, something that Lena couldn’t deal with.
“Kara can you please sit down and tell me what’s wrong with you.”
“I don’t want to sit down.”
“Then tell me what’s wrong. Are you solar flared? Is it some type of kryptonite? Are you jealous?”
“I am not jealous.”
“You are darling; you don’t really have a good poker face.”
Kara didn’t know what betrayed her – how heavily she was breathing, the look in her eyes or her whole body posture.
“Talk to me. It’s normal to feel this way; it’s just a human emotion Kara.”
“I am not human.”
“And yet here we are.”
“I have to go back to work.” Kara was too uncomfortable to talk about something she couldn’t understand.
“You are not going anywhere.”
Lena got up, her high hells clacking on the floor until she stood in front of Kara. She was aware that the whole office was watching them, clear as day that they had an argument.
“Sit down.”
Lena grabbed her tie before she could say no, pushing her into her own chair before she sat down on her desk. The only thing people could see now was her own back.
“Why are you jealous? Is it something I did? Is it her? You never acted like this before.”
Kara tried to escape, find a hole in the floor, but Lena’s perfectly manicured fingers found her tie before she could thing about using her powers to escape this situation. She looked at her with her beautiful intense green eyes and Kara could just feel the jealousy rising in her chest.
“Why are you jealous of Eve?”
“Because she is into you, why can’t you see that? She keeps complimenting you, always when I am around.”
“What?”
“Don’t act like that not true. She’s such a huge admirer and oh he got such nice eyes just like yours.”
Kara tried her best Eve expression and Lena could help herself – she was laughing.
“I’m glad that you find that funny.”
“Kara she is straight and she’s in not into me.”
“How do you know?”
“Because I do and I don’t care if she would have a crush on me. She is not my type.”
“She is your type. She is exactly your type, why are you denying it?”
“How is she my type?”
“Blonde hair and blue eyes? I thought that’s what you’re into.”
There was hurt in Kara’s eyes and Lena finally realised why Kara was acting that way.
“You are jealous because she is blonde? You think I would replace you with her, because she compliments me on my eyes?”
Kara’s silence and the way she avoided Lena’s gaze told her enough.
“Kara we are married. Your sister is currently babysitting our little boy. You two are my world and my secretary being nice to me doesn’t mean anything to me. There is no resemblance between you and her, except blue eyes and blonde hair but I didn’t marry you because of that. I married you because I love you and because you’re selfless and kind, you make me laugh even if I don’t feel like it and you always know when I need you. So don’t be so hard on her, she might admire my work and might be too nice but she is only doing her job. She acts the same way around James, there is nothing special about the way she talks to me.”
“There was no need for her to compliment you on your eyes.”
“I know but it doesn’t mean anything Kara. You worry too much.”
“Okay.”
“You also need to stop breaking your phone, when other people are around.”
“I know.”
Lena opened a drawer to give her wife a new phone.
“You look gorgeous today.”
“So do you. I love your tie.”
“You only do because you can grab me easily.”
“It’s practical, what can I say.”
There were staring at each other, both wishing they wouldn’t sit in Lena’s glass office right now when her buzzer disturbed their moment.
“Miss Luthor your conference call.”
“Tell them to wait.”
“You told me to immediately fetch you trough once they were ready.”
“I changed my mind. Tell them to wait.”
She turned it off before she pulled Kara closer. She wrapped the tie around her hand until Kara s lips where so close in front of her.
“I want you to know that there is no one else except you. No one else ever made my heart flutter like that. You are everything I ever wanted and now I need you to kiss me so…”
Kara’s lips sealed hers before she was able to finish her speech. Lena moaned at the contact, trying to pull her even closer. Warm strong hands landed on her thighs and both wished they would be somewhere else, because Kara had the urge to push Lena down and the CEO had the exact same thought. Lena pushed her back slightly before they both couldn’t help themselves.
“You should go before you get us both fired.”
“You ask for it.”
“Whip that smug grin of your face and my lipstick, come here.” Lena tried to get her dominant lipstick of Kara’s lips, placing another kiss on her cheek.
“That should help.”
“Help with what?”
“You’ll see. Now go, I have a deal to win.”
Kara walked out the office, when Lena took a seat and answered the conference call. Eve gave her a weird look and Kara only realised why when she went to the bathroom, she still had Lena’s lipstick on her face, a dominant bright mark on her cheek.
