Another Time, Another Place (SUPERCORP AU)

Part 7: Alex and the Doughnuts

Lena 's pov

After the fateful incidents of rubber band snapping, Kara started to hang around the three of us more often. I'm really glad she did.

As it turns out she loves music. She plays the guitar really well and I love to listen to her sing. I don't know for sure the criteria for brilliant singers, but Kara's singing sure is brilliant. Every time she sings with her guitar, its like I'm in a trance. I listen and suddenly I'm someplace else and she's the center of it all.

We were sitting in her front yard, just finished our chemistry homework and we were talking beneath a green ash tree with a plate of doughnuts between us. I enjoy talking to her, we share the same opinions on many things, other things we disagree on we respect the other's view. We get each other's humor, and almost always laugh at about just anything.

"Did you finish your doughnuts already...?" She said smiling.

"Well, that was really scrumptious, how can I not finish it..." I said while licking the sugar off my fingers.

"Mom made it...she's got a thing for doughnuts, pastries and cakes,"

"Thus, the bakeshop for family business..."

"Yup..." She said with a little curve on the side of her mouth that made her look so charming,"So, we're done with homework and snack, what else do you have in mind for us to do?"

"Hmn...let me see...Winn's playing video games with Maggie. Do you want us to bother them?" I said.

"Are you sure? You're not really a big fan of video games, not to mention the loud bickering of those two..." Kara pointed out.

"You're right...uhm I know...how about I draw you a sketch," I said excitedly.

Since I've known Kara I've always wanted to make a drawing of her beautiful face. From her bright blue eyes and long lashes, to her rosy cheeks and plump lips, put it all together, you get yourself one stunning portrait.

"Draw me a sketch of what bird this time...?" She asked so adorably, I giggled. She knows I love drawing birds, but she's yet to know that I can draw portraits too. Though I prefer birds and critters to sketch in my pad, I've also tried human faces a few times. And right now I wanna do Kara's exquisite face.

"Not a bird, silly...you"

Say what now, Lena?! I mentally screamed as I looked at the very excited Lena sitting beside me under a green ash tree. Why on Earth would she want to draw me? Birds not enough for her now or does it look like I'm a freakin' canary to her?

"Why...?" I said suddenly feeling self conscious. "Can't you just draw something else that's beautiful?"

"You are beautiful,"

Okay, now I'm mentally blank, like one of those tv stations when they sign off with that really annoying sound. Yeah, my head went just like that.
