Chapter 73 - Daylong Date Part 3

Lena and Kara have now made their way to a small little diner in Midvale town, pulling their car up outside. As Kara and Lena entered the diner, Kara held the door open for Lena, wanting to be gentlewomanly.

"Thank you darling." Lena smiles.

Kara quickly follows Lena inside the diner, and the two then find a booth in the corner of the place to sit in.

"KARA!!! Is that you!?!?" An older woman says, who is wearing a uniform, clearly signalling she works at the diner. "Mrs Showfield." Kara smiles, standing up from the booth and taking the older woman in for a hug, "It's nice to see you." "You too Kara." Mrs Showfield replies.

Kara and Mrs Showfield end their hug, and the older woman then spots Lena sitting at the booth.

"Oh, I see you brought a guest, who isn't Alex." Mrs Showfield smiles, and then steps closer to Lena, holding out her hand to shake. "Hello, I'm Claire Showfield, the owner of this place, it's nice to meet you."

"Ohh.... hi. I'm Lena, it's nice to meet you too." Lena replies, as she shakes the older woman's hand.

"Sorry, I should have introduced you two." Kara says, "Mrs Showfield, this is my girlfriend, Lena."

"Oh." Mrs Showfield says, her eyes going wide, before a big smile grows on her face. "Well, isn't that wonderful. You are one lucky lady Lena, while Kara still lived in Midvale, I had been trying to get her to date one of my boys for years!"

Lena smiles at Mrs Showfield. "I am aware of how lucky I am." Lena says, now looking at Kara.

Kara looks back at Lena with a big smile on her face.

"You have it all wrong Mrs Showfield, I am the lucky one." Kara says.

Mrs Showfield chuckles. "Well isn't that sweet." The older lady smiles, "Now, can I get you both something to drink?"

"Ohh uhhh yeah.... Can I have a triple chocolate milkshake please." Kara says, licking her lips slightly.

"Of course dear." Mrs Showfield smiles, "And you Lena?"

"Uhhh.... Can I have a coffee, black?" Lena asks. "Come on Lena, that's boring!" Kara moans.

"Oh Kara, leave your girlfriend alone. Let her pick what she wants. Not everyone can eat as much unhealthy food as you." Mrs Showfirled says.

Kara lets out a small huff upon hearing that. Meanwhile Lena just shakes her head. "Fine. I'll have a chocolate milkshake, as well as the coffee." Lena says.

Kara smiles widely now, happy that Lena has got a milkshake as well. "Very well." Mrs Showfield nods. "Kara, you are a bad influence on this girl." "Oh, she certainly is." Lena smirks, thinking back to what they did in the cabin on the island, which entirely happened because of Kara's influence.

Kara smirks back at Lena. "Well, I'll be back with your drinks in a few minutes." Mrs Showfield says. "Okay, thank you, Mrs Showfield." Kara smiles. "Of course dear. And it is wonderful to see you again." Mrs Showfield says, and then turns around and leaves the couple alone at their booth.

Kara and Lena both smile, happily, at one another, and then pick up the two menus on the table.

"So, what do you recommend?" Lena asks, making a pretty good guess that Kara likely ate here a lot when she was growing up.

"Uhhhh everything." Kara says, with a smirk.

Lena lets out a chuckle.

"Everything can't be equally good." Lena replies.

"Well, it is, and I've had absolutely everything on this menu, unless they've changed it, which they look like they haven't. Why would they change perfection after all?" Kara says.

Lena laughs again.

"Okay, well then what are you going to get today?" Lena asks.

"Uhhh.... I think.... I'm going to get a.... grilled steak sandwich.... with extra cheese..... and..... a chicken burger." Kara says.

Lena laughs once more, but this time at her girlfriend's appetite.

"Well, I think I'm going to get a hot dog then. I haven't had one of those since I was a child." Lena says.

"What?! Really?!" Kara says, surprised, "Lena, you have been really missing out! Hotdogs may not be a burger, but they are still great! I think you'll find the hotdogs here are delicious! In fact, I'm going to get one too."

"So, you are going to have 3 meals now?" Lena asks, with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh uhh." Kara stutters, slightly blushing. "Maybe I'll.... just have the hotdog and chicken burger then." Lena looks at her girlfriend for a moment, with a slightly concerned look on her face.

"Kara." Lena says, reaching her hand out across the table to grab Kara's arm.

"Hmm?" Kara replies, looking up at the brunette. "If you want three meals, then have three meals." Lena says, with a slight smile. "But... isn't that too much? .... I don't want to come off as a pig..." Kara says.

"To who?" Lena questions, "To the few people in this diner? Or to Mrs Showfield?"

"No.... to you." Kara replies, biting her lip as she blushes. "Kara, darling." Lena says, now putting both her hands on Kara's arm. "You could never come off as a pig to me. You are a Kryptonian, and you need to eat more food than us humans, I would never judge you for doing so. So, please, go ahead, order your three meals."

Kara looks up at Lena again, and sees that her girlfriend is giving her nothing but a loving smile. It makes Kara so happy that she can be with someone who isn't going to judge her for having 3 meals. Previously, when Kara has dated people in her past, seeing as they didn't know that she's an alien, Kara had to regulate what she ate at dinner, which usually meant she would end up going home hungry, and having a second dinner after her date.

"I love you." Kara replies, happy right now, not having any other words to say.

"I love you too." Lena smiles, as the two women just get lost in each other's eyes.

"Well, isn't that lovely." Mrs Showfield says, returning to the table with Kara and Lena's drinks.

Kara and Lena quickly move away from one another and look at Mrs Showfield, both blushing like schoolgirls who have been caught doing something they shouldn't.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't want you to stop on my account. I just have your drinks here." Mrs Showfield says, and then places down Lena's coffee in front of her, and then the two milkshakes in front of each woman.

"It's okay." Lena says, with a slight smile.

"Good. So, are you both ready to order?" Mrs Showfield asks. "Yep." Kara nods.

"Great." Mrs Showfield replies, and gets out her notepad, knowing from previous experience that Kara usually orders more than one thing.

"We'll have two hotdogs, a grilled steak sandwich with extra cheese, and a fried chicken burger, please." Kara smiles. "Would you like any dressings on the hot dogs?" Mrs Showfield asks.
