(Ava's POV)
We didn't hear the door or the footsteps. A cough startled us.
"Hello?" it was Ray, standing behind the couch. Zari by his side.
I saw how Sara's smile faded and her tension returned. I glared at Ray, who tried to stay calm.
"Sorry for interrupting, I thought you came here for your phone" he said.
I couldn't take it any longer, "Hey, don't you dare making her feel guilty now. She has been feeling like crap because of you and now she's finally feeling better" I stood up in front of him, losing control over my anger.
I felt Sara's hand on my shoulder but she talked to Ray and not to me, "I came for my phone and I found it. After that we watched a movie. I'm sorry for keeping myself busy while you sleep"
That was harsh, I could hear my own voice in my head cheering for Sara. Ray put on his charming smile though, and I couldn't keep up anymore, my tension left. I motioned for Z to walk with me upstairs to leave the couple alone. While walking away I could hear his sweet voice say "I'm so sorry, baby. I was drunk and wasn't thinking. It won't happen again..."
I closed my eyes and brought a hand to my chest. You better don't hurt her again, she only deserves good things. I thought. A tiny whisper inside me also said: I should be the one who gives her all the good things.
The phone in my hand rang showing Nora's name on the screen. Just what I need right now. I ignore the call.
