Chapter Twenty-four— Never let me go!

KARA'S POV

An hour later, Alex entered the apartment and he looked surprised to see Sara and Max there.

"Hello everyone." He greeted.

"Hey man! We were just talking about you," Max says greeting him with a firm handshake. "Where have you been?"

"I was at the gym." He said

"Hello brother," Sara calls, "did you forget that we were coming?" She asks with a knowing smile.

He rubs his neck and gives a small chuckle, "Yeah, I forgot!" He replied.

Sara came forward and gave him a warm hug.

"How are you little sis?" He questions embracing her.

"Peachy!" She grins

"Great!"

"We have a plan to watch a movie." I voiced out.

He turns to look at me, a guilty look playing on his face, "Sure. Let me freshen up first." He replies.

Sara nods and said, "Okay!"

Alex went up to the bedroom and I excused myself to follow him.

ALEX'S POV

I totally forgot they were coming, I really need to talk to Kara alone!

Suddenly as if on cue, Kara came inside the room and closed the door. And I rushed to her and embraced her in a bear hug.

"Hey you!" I say.

"Hey, you're sweaty!" She groans.

"OH! I am sorry babe," I say letting her go, "I was a jerk! I should not have upset you like that, I am really so so sorry!" My eyes and voice soft as I plead.

"You know I cannot stay mad at you forever?" She says smiling as she moves my hair back from my face.

"I know, me too!" I reply. "But I so am sorry for hurting you."

"It's Okay! You are not upset at me anymore for not telling you, right?" She asks guardedly

"No I am not. Please, let just forget about it." I insist

She got on her tiptoes and kissed me passionately.

"I love you!" I say staring deeply and lovingly at her.

"I love you too!"

"I'm sorry to ruin the moment, but I have to tell you something." I announce.

"Now?"

"Yeah! I did something I should not have–" I say then pause

"What do you mean?" She asks giving me questioning looks.

"Promise you won't get mad at me." I condition

"What did you do? You sound a little serious." She quips

I sigh.

"Tell me. What is it?" She demands

"I met Blake on my way here–"

"WHAT!" She interrupts.

"HEAR ME OUT!" I raise my hands in surrender, "I didn't mean to, I was getting into my car and I saw him." I relayed

"And?" She asks

"And I could not stop myself from confronting him." I acknowledged.

"You should not have, he should not bother you like that. HE DOES NOT MATTER!"

"I know, I know, I get it. I am sorry. We got into an argument but before I could leave he said he was sorry. And you should know he said, and I quote, "I hope she can find it in herself to forgive me someday"." I explain.

She gives me a weird look. "Few hours ago, you were literally mad at him, and now you are delivering his messages to me?" She asks with a hint of amusement in her voice.

"Yeah, I guess! Why?"

"You are an idiot." She laughs.

"Hey!" I exclaim

"Thank you for being honest with me, please don't ever hide your emotions from me." She says

"As in?"

"Whenever you are mad, happy, or anything, I want to know every bit of it." She explains, "We should be able to both live and fight with each other." She states.

"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me." I say in awe

"Never let me go?" She asks, a smile hinting on her lips.

"I promise! I will. Never. Let. You. Go!" I say placing a hand on my chest and raising my right, as though saying the boy's scout honor.

I pulled her closer to me and captured her lips in a passionate kiss, my hands moving into her hair, until we both got absolutely out of breath.

She giggles in between pants, "that was amazing!"

"I am so sorry once again."

"Don't apologise over and over, let's go." She holds my hand moving towards the door.

"Wait!," I stop. "Your hair."

"Oh sorry!" She says laughing as she fixes it.

KARA'S POV

After a few minutes, we both came out of the room all happy and content.

"Have you guys been making out while we were waiting here?" Sara accuses with a glint in her eyes.

Her comment made us both blush at the same time.

"Sara!" Max exclaims horrified.

"Just saying!" She shrugs and laughs.

"So, which movie are we watching?" Alex asked

"Anything in Marvel!" Max cheers loudly.

Anyone would look at us weirdly if they saw college graduates pining over such movies, but we don't care. That's how we roll.

"We have seen Infinity Wars in the cinema, so how about we catch up with the ones we haven't seen yet?" Sara suggested.

I nod in agreement, "You're right."

We chose to watch "Deadpool 2" over, "black panther", and "Thor Ragnarok", mostly because both Sara and I think that, Ryan Gosling is the sexiest man alive. No offense to Max and Alex.

"Sorted." Max agreed too.

"Awesome!"

"Okay you guys settle down, I will bring popcorn and snacks." I say getting up and heading in the direction of the kitchen.

"Yeah!" Sara rejoiced.

"I will come and help." Alex volunteered and follows me.

After such a long time, we four got together and enjoyed our movie time.

"Can life get any better than this?" I muse aloud

"Nope!" Alex replies with a grin.

"You are ready for the job next week?" Max asks.

"I am so ready." I say with confidence.

"Hey bro, did I tell you were going to France next month?" Sara asks excitedly, getting Alex's attention.

"Are you?" He asks surprised

"Yes!" She squeals

"Babe, we should plan a vacation too." I say to Alex.

"We will." He nods and smiles.

We kept on discussing about other things and I suddenly bent and whispered to Alex,

"I love you!"

"I love you too." he whispers back.

I am so glad that Alex entered my life. He is, and I know I've said this before, the best thing that has ever happened to me.

He is my second chance at love!
