(Ava's POV)
I am singing in the shower feeling the warm water caress my skin when I hear another voice singing behind me. Before I can turn around I feel another kind of caresses on my waist and I know exactly who it is.
" Sara" I say forming a smile on my lips. I can feel my heartbeat going faster as her hands caress up to my breasts.
" Sara!" I say now in a mischievous tone, and she nibbles my shoulder playfully in response. Her hands don't stop caressing me and I breathe out a moan.
" Sing for me?" She whispers in my ear. The sexiest whisper I've heard in my life.
I can't answer, my voice is gone.
Her lips delight me with amazing kisses on my shoulder blades and down my spine, slowly driving me crazy. The power this woman has over me is scary and unusual.
My mind becomes cloudy just as her hand slides down my body. The shower is too hot now. I can feel the water on my face.
I can feel water on my face.
I can feel water on my face! I wake up suddenly.
"Good morning, sis! You were muttering in your sleep. 'Hot, hot...' So I thought a glass of water would end the fire..." Lauren said, standing in front of me with an empty glass in her hand.
She was laughing so much that at first I couldn't react. I just sit there on my bed with my mouth open in disbelief watching the drops of water fall from my face and hair. Damn little sister, how can she dare interrupting the hottest dream ever and just in the best part.
Recovering fast I stand up and run after my sister. My face must have been fierce because she screams before running out of the room and down the stairs.
"You will see when I catch you, Lauren!" I yell at her, but she only laughs louder. Against my will I find myself laughing too, which makes it hard to run and catch someone.
In the living room she uses the couch as protection and we run around it a couple of times until I decide to jump over it. I try doing so anyway, because I turn it over in the process and end up with my face on the carpet. Lauren rolls on the floor laughing next to me, and there we stay until we can calm down and catch our breaths.
"I think I'll skip jogging this morning" I say as she helps me stand up and we put up the couch again.
"Yeah you should" Lauren says. "I'm sorry about the water... I just had to" She adds giggling.
I glare at her but smile soon after, before going back to my room and checking my phone. I had new messages, both from Sara. I lift my eyebrows in surprise. One of them says:
Heeeeey Spicy blond I am drunk and I miss you here lets partyyyyy
I took my time to laugh out loud before opening the other one. It was sent about an hour later.
I'm still thinking about you.
I smile widely reading this last message and before answering I decide to wait for another message later on. A sober one.
I have no idea how I could relax in the shower after THAT dream, but somehow I did, and now I am in front of the house with the empty balcony again. I take a deep breath and step out of my car. I can't shut up the part of me that is wondering why Sara Lance was in that very house days ago. Of course she could go wherever she wanted and of course I am not jealous... well maybe a little but it's normal because she is supposed to be with my brother. I feel the usual punch in my stomach when I remember that. Damn Ava, you should try and put your mind in other things, in other people.
I shake my head and make my way to the door. After ringing the doorbell I hear noise inside as if the whole kitchen furniture had collapsed and spread on the floor. Several seconds later a woman opens the door fixing her clothes.
"Hello, sorry I was just cleaning" She greets me, and I smile at the scene.
"Hi, you must be Z" I say offering a handshake.
"Oh yeah, you're a blond. You must be Ava!" She says, and gives me a big hug. I don't really understand why this woman just hugs a stranger knocking on her door but well, there's plenty of weird people in this world, and she seems fun. "Come on in! I'll show you the house" she practically dragged me inside to show me the house.
I was right when I thought the furniture of the kitchen collapsed, because as we walked by I could see pieces of wood on the floor. She must have noticed my furrowed eyebrows because without me asking she simply said, "Told you I was cleaning" I choose not to ask any more questions.
The truth is this is the only room for rent I could find in the neighborhood. It isn't far from my parents' house, it's pretty nice and I would have all the second floor for myself. Z explained that her previous roommate left a few weeks ago but she didn't want to rent the place yet because she was using that room for game nights. I choose not to ask more about that either.
A day had passed and I am already taking my clothes out of my suitcase and hanging them in the wardrobe. Most of my belongings are already in their place and the new room looks almost cozy. I smile widely and then I hear the door shut. I hold my breath in dead silence. Z told me a while ago she was going out. I don't think she'd be back yet.
I am walking quietly down the stairs when I hear a familiar voice, "Z? It's me, I need you, girl"
"Sara?" I say, skipping the last stairs faster.
"Ava? What are you doing here?" She looks more confused than I am. And her nose is red.
"I live here now... you're Z's friend?" I ask walking closer.
She laughs lightly, "She's my best friend, Zari. I have a spare key..." Sara's voice fades and her gaze leaves me.
"Have you been crying, Sweet lips?" I couldn't help the nickname. At least it made her smile.
"Yes I... had a fight with Ray" She says. And when her eyes meet mine again I see the tears.
I hug Sara tightly and she hugs me back. I love the smell of her shampoo.
"Well Zari's not here now but I can listen" I offer. She nods on my shoulder.
