Is it any wonder
I'm higher than an angel
Our bodies, they're touching
And you've not yet woken

Katherine opened her eyes. A happy smile covered her face as soon as she looked at the red-haired beauty lying asleep next to her. Finally! She had to hold herself not to kiss those appetizing lips she felt so close.

Your breath is like a feather
Caressing my neck
Your hands, they're whispers
Can't wait till they've spoken

A shiver of pleasure shook her body from top to bottom when she felt Bree's hands stroking her body timidly. Her piercing green eyes were only slits, but she could still read the joy and lust in them.

Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about

Katherine smiled and caressed Bree's pale cheek tenderly. Then she covered her lips with her own. How long had she been longing for something like this? It was even more beautiful than she would have ever dared to dream.

I'm moving through the city
With my love blanket
My armour of memories
When moonlight met sunrise
I look at other people
Do they wear it too?
She's given me a secret
I don't wanna keep

Over and over for the whole day, Katherine would catch herself wanting to laugh for no apparent reason. She knew it – she was in love! In love with her best friend. She would have liked to shout it from all the rooftops, tell everyone that finally love was being kind to her… but on the other hand, the fact that it was a secret was making everything more exciting at the same time.


Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about

And Bree… Bree loved her back. She had proved it enough during that wonderful night they had spent together. Their first time… the most amazing night she had spent in her life.


Is it any wonder
We keep still and quiet
Pretending we've not woken
When moonlight meets sunrise
And linger in a halfsleep
Warm orange love light
Spilling through the curtains
On you by my side

There they were on that morning, lying next to each other in silence, pretending the dream was not over yet. Their arms wrapped around each other's body and their legs entwined. If they could be closer than that, they would be one.


Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about

Katherine had never considered herself to be a conservative or homophobic person. She had very traditional values and had been taught that the only real love is the one between a man and a woman.


Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about
Nobody told me baby
This is what it's all about

Therefore she never thought she could understand homosexuality. But now, thinking of Adam, Wayne and Mike, how many times they had hurt and disappointed her, and comparing them to the pureness of Bree's love… She felt that people had lied to her about finding Mr. Right and living happily ever after. No-one had ever told her that true happiness could be found in the arms of her best friend… a woman.


It's about you and me and love
You and me and love

Her fairytale was a different one. One about forbidden love and finally discovering that all she ever needed was right there next to her. She had just been searching for it in the wrong place. But now… now she had found it and was not going to let it go.
It's about you and me and love
You and me and love

"Good morning, my dear!" Bree greeted her "I can't believe it finally happened!"

"What I can't believe is that we waited for so long to do it" Katherine whispered before kissing her good morning.
