Chapter 2
I couldn't move, I opened my eyes to a sea of blonde hair around my body. The memories flooding back to the forefront of my mind. It felt like a dream, I mean, in a way it was a dream, a dream come true.
The movie of the night was long forgotten; we kissed though out the night, ending up falling asleep on the couch. At some point in the while we slept Kara ended up putting her head on my chest. I kissed the top of her head causing her to start to move. "Good morning, beautiful." I whispered into her hear. She looked up at me, propping herself up on an elbow, and kissed me softly. "I could get use to this." I smiled. The way Kara smiled back at me could have lighted up the whole world; it was the most beautiful sight I have ever seen.
"I have to ask, why didn't it hurt when you plowed into me with hug last night?" I asked, before she had a chance to respond I added, "Not that I'm complaining, everything that has come along with it has been perfect."
Kara's face fell, now longer smiling. "When you asked me to get the popcorn last night, I burnt my hand." She held it up, the skin bubbled slightly. "I tried some of my powers because I haven't felt physical pain since being on earth. I had none, so I knew I wouldn't hurt you." She smiled, but there was sadness in her smile. "I've never been more scared then I am now. I could get hurt; I don't know what could happen."
I felt for her, I was also scared because I didn't want to lose her if something was to happen. "Kara," I sat up, as did she, I took her hands in mine. "The reason I didn't tell you where I was going the other night is because I overheard something and I didn't want you to get hurt if it was true." She looked confused, silently asking me to continue. "I overheard Jake telling one of his fuckboi friends that his dad had a way to bring Superman down a few pegs. I was afraid that if it was true that you would end up getting hurt, I wouldn't be able to protect you." I sadly smiled. "We should tell mom and dad about this, maybe they can come up with a way to fix it." I squeezed her hand, trying to reassure her. "I hope it's not long term."
"We should wait, at least until they get back from their mini vacation." She smiled at me, her smile widened as she liked down at my lips. "I know I can't hurt you, so," She looked back up, looked right into my eyes. "Their vacation can be our learning experience." She leaned in and kissed me.
We stayed like this, with our lips connecting, for what seemed like hours. If I was being honest, I could kiss her for eternity, not stopping for food or water or sleep, if I died, I would die, not only the luckiest, but the happiest person to ever have lived.
When we separated, my smile reached my eyes, I had been kissing the most beautiful, kind-hearted being, and it wasn't a dream. She wanted to be with me, and I her.
"When they get home, we should tell them about us as well as your lack of powers." Her smile faltered, I could see panic and fear clouding her eyes. "Why are you scared?"
"When I started having feelings for you, I looked into how this plant would react to foster sibling dating, it's not good Alex." Kara let a tear slip from her eye. "I don't want to lose another family. Alex, I don't want to lose you because I couldn't keep my feelings to myself." She started to sob.
"I know that you are afraid, baby, but mom and dad aren't like that." I pulled her into me, hugging her tightly. "They know we aren't real sisters, they will most likely tell us to keep it in the house, and other people will have a problem with it, not them." I squeezed her before letting go. "Everything will be fine, I promise." I smiled at her before giving her a kiss on the forehead. "Why don't we go on a date tonight?" I asked; she looked confused. "Like a real date, food, a walk under the stairs, I will try to kiss you before saying good night." I smiled because she started to calm down and started to smile. "We can go to a Chinese buffet, I know you like pot stickers, all you can eat."
Kara blushed, thinking about it for a minute. "I would like that." She smiled, still blushing. "But, would it be wise for us to act like we are on a date? I don't want anyone to have a reason for one of us to be taken away. I don't want to lose you Alex. Everyone in town knows that we are 'sisters'." She used air quotes.
I just smiled and nodded, I had already planned for that when I asked. "We should watch some movies." I suggested. "D.E.B.S and Loving Annabelle?" I asked; they were two of my favorite movies. Kara just smiled at me and she lay back down on the couch.
*After the movies*
We went upstairs to get ready; I had suggested that we get dressed in different rooms. I gathered all of my cloths and went into mom and dad's room, Kara got ready in our room. I wanted to be surprised when I see her. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to wear, I tried on about everything I own. I wish I would have known about her feelings for me before now, I would have bought something new for the date. I wanted to look nice, classy even. I settled on a form fitting black dress that came down just past my knees, three quarter sleeves, and showed very little cleavage. I decided to do some light make-up, just some eyeliner and a light red lipstick.
I walked out of my parent's room and walked down the stairs to wait by the front door. I was thinking about where to take her, there was a great buffet the next town over, so I figure I would take her there, it's out of town and no one will know that we are "sisters". I was starting to panic, thinking that she changed her mind about this date. I wanted to go check on her but I talked myself out of bothering her, which was a good thing because she started to walk down the stairs.
I looked up at Kara when I heard her footsteps. My jaw hit the floor, she was wearing flowing red dress, coming down mid-thigh, off the shoulder straps, and showing just the right amount of cleavage. I lost my breath looking at her, she looked so beautiful, and I felt so lucky to be going out with her tonight. Kara must have caught me staring at her, she started to blush deeply. "You look so beautiful, Kara, absolutely breathtaking." I told her after I caught my breath again. I pulled her into a hug and kissed her cheek. I was glad that the lipstick that I was wearing was a stain type.
I opened the fount door and offered her my arm. We walked to the car, it was an old car, I don't know what kind, and my parents left it for us if we wanted to go somewhere. I opened her door for Kara and helped her into the car; after I shut her door I walked around the car and got in the driver's seat.
As soon as we were on the road Kara grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers, just having her hand in mine was a feeling that I will never forget. I know that I was blushing, I was so glad it was getting dark out, I was trying to hide it from the beautiful woman sitting next to me. I don't know why the thought of Kara seeing me blush was so embarrassing.
"I thought we were going to the buffet, we just passed it." Kara pointed out to me as we passed the only Chinese buffet in town.
"I know." I looked over to her, squeezed her hand, and winked at her.
We drove in silence for about half an hour, I pulled into the parking lot of a Chinese buffet called China Buffet. I could see the shock on Kara's face. "I told you that I wanted a real date." I winked at her again. I got out of the car and rushed over to her side so I could open her door for her. We walked into the restaurant hand and hand.
*Sorry y'all I don't know how to write for a date*
We both smiled all the way home, when we got home I opened her door one last time. We walked up to the front door and I opened it. I let her walk in first; I closed the door behind me. As soon as the door was shut Kara pushed me into the wall and kissed me. She kissed me with so much love and passion. We jumped apart when there was a shocked gasp coming from the doorway of the living room. We both turned, my mother and father were standing there, staring at us.
