The whole team is out tonight, including Gil. Me, Warrick, Sara, Greg, Nick and Gil were sat around a table, empty beer bottles and wine glasses spread out to the tables beside us, so it was safe to say, we were all a bit drunk. I tend to get a bit… Daring after a drink or two, and surprisingly, so did Sara. She left to get drinks and when she came back, she was grinning, God, how I love that grin, how I love her. After Eddie's death, we became better friends, then I realized I felt much more than that towards her, much more. Sara sat down beside me, and Greg asked why she was smiling so much,
"Because this is a karaoke bar."
"And…?"
"I signed myself up." Whoa, did I hear that right?
"Haha, yeah right Sidle." Nick said, laughing to his beer bottle before taking a gulp,
"I seriously did," as to prove her point, the DJ interrupted,
"Sara Sidle is gonna be making us feel her love, she says it's dedicated to someone very dear to her," at this, Warrick nudged Gil, who smiled shyly, I tried to be happy for my greatest friend, I really did, but those pangs of jealousy wouldn't let up, so I plastered on a fake smile, the piano started and it was then we all realized Sara was on the stage already,
"When
the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your
case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my
love." Wow,
just wow. Why didn't I know she could sing like this? I ignored the
words and focused on the sound, I kept telling myself the words
weren't for me, they were for Gil, and I was happy.
"When
the evening shadows and the stars appear,
And there is no one
there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
To
make you feel my love." I
looked around the table, Greg was smiling knowingly and Warrick, Nick
and Gil were gob smacked, wearing the same expressions as me, only
Gil had a twinkle in his eye,
"I
know you haven't made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you
wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in
my mind where you belong." A
familiar feeling of heartbreak and sorrow broke out within me, and
everyone, except Greg, looked at Gil. Greg looked at me, grinning
manically, I shot him my best
'what-on-earth-are-you-looking-at-me-like-that-for?' look, and he
opened his mouth to explain, but Sara's husky tones stopped him,
"I'd
go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the
avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel
my love." I
looked up to Sara, noticing she was looking straight at me, I shook
my head, no, these words weren't meant for me, that look was not
love. But I looked again, there was no mistaking it now, everyone in
the whole bar knew we was looking at me. Even Gil realized, and
looked at me enviously, I knew the reason behind Greg's happiness
now, he was the one who made me attend tonight, he was the one who
made Sara
attend tonight, I guess he felt like he was playing matchmaker,
"The
storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of
regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free,
You
ain't seen nothing like me yet.
I could make you happy, make your
dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of
the Earth for you,
To make you feel my love."
The crowd loved Sara's performance, and I'd be lying if I said I
didn't. The herd of butterflies having a hell of a lot of fun in my
stomach was proof of that. She walked toward our table, stopping in
front of me, and reached for my hand. I readily took it and she
pulled me up and to her, I met her halfway and that was the first,
and hopefully not last, kiss we shared. She pulled away, wearing a
similar grin to me, "Cath,
I… Adore everything that is, and makes, you." I
ducked my head, blushing furiously, "I
love you." I
met her eyes, searching them for assurance,
"I love you too." She grinned down at me, and kissed me again, we turned to the table, and said our goodbyes, we could deal with them later, right now, it was me and my girl. And that's how it's always gonna be.

So yeah. This idea came to me when listening to the song for the 38th time :) Make You Feel My Love –by– Adele. It's amazingly beautiful and says everything it needs to, I think. Reviews are most definitely welcome, and if you didn't know, it's from Catherine's POV.
