(Sara's POV)

My head felt like a rainbow was shining inside it. The colors magically painting the landscape around us, far away, just me and her. That was exactly how I was feeling, other people call it happiness.

It is a completely new feeling for me, much more intense and beautiful that what Ray makes me feel. I don't care if she is a woman and he is a man... I mean, the important thing here is that I love Ava's personality, I love how she connects with me, I love Ava Sharpe.

And I am willing to try something with her, if she wants to. From the way she kissed me I am quite certain that she wants to.

My God, her hair, her eyes, her skin... How can she be this beautiful!

Her lips leave mine and I instantly crave for them again. But I reluctantly open my eyes and glance at the clock on the wall. Seems we have been kissing for a long time. My eyes meet hers once again and we just stare, still dazed. After a few seconds that luckily feel like minutes, she takes a step back.

"I don't know what to say" Ava whispers blushing, holding my hand.

I intertwine our fingers and collect courage to speak, "So is this a yes? Do you want us to try?" I feel my face flushing too.

She smiles, that beautiful breathtaking smile, and nods.

My heart skips a few beats, I honestly think I might have had some kind of tiny heart attack. Next thing I do is jump in her arms. We hug tightly, giggling in a silly way.

(Ava's POV)

Saraa and I had a long talk. After one big bone-breaker hug, we sat together on the couch. Of course this is a big decision and we can't avoid talking about the consequences.

So we talked about the unavoidable fact that her fiancé is my brother, that they are supposed to be planning a wedding, and that we shouldn't fall in love. Guilt stabs both of us, Ray doesn't deserve this. Maybe he can't take enough good care of Sara, maybe he didn't treat her right, but he did love her. Ray doesn't deserve this.

But Sara doesn't deserve to spend her life with someone she doesn't truly love. We don't deserve to spend holidays and family meetings looking into each other's eyes and feeling the pain.

I asked Sara if she wanted to try a solution with Ray first, if she wanted to give him another chance. She said she was doing that already but her feelings for me got stronger every day.

I asked her if she wanted me to leave for a while, go back to my place, give them time to work things out alone. She said no. Squeezing my hand on her lap she told me I can't leave, she said she needs me.

And I need her too. She inspires me to write new songs, to look at the world with different eyes. She makes me happy.

I can't believe how much I've changed being close to her. It's only been a few months since we met, and look at me. I am a different person. My heart is not frozen anymore, it feels warm and light. My actions and reactions, my plans... Come on, look at my balcony, I take care of those flowers every day. Colorful, that's how my world is now. And I should thank Sara for that.

"Thank you" I say, mirroring my thoughts.

"What for?" She asks wearing my favorite smile.

"For being you, for helping me be myself again" I answer, surprised by my complete sincerity.

Her smile fades and her eyes show conflict.

"Will Ray come home tonight?" I ask Sara, guessing she is scared to tell him.

She shakes her head, "No, he is in another state delivering some stuff..."

"Alright, then come stay with Zari and me tonight?" This was an idea that just popped in my head. The thought of a troubled Sara crying sleepless at night thinking how she would tell her fiancé she loves his sister instead... it simply made me feel too uncomfortable. I struggle to protect Sara in every way possible. It is also true that I don't want to spend a sleepless night on my own either, thinking how I would be able to look my brother in the eyes after he found out…

Sara seemed to give it a thought, for a while she was silent. Then she agreed. Zari is her best friend, so what could be better than a sleepover with us?

We arrived at my place carrying a small bag with Sara's clothes for the night. It was already 7 pm. We would have arrived earlier if we hadn't stopped to kiss every moment possible. I can't help it, Sweetlips has really sweet lips... Ever since the trigger was pulled the first time, we just couldn't stop.

We shared a last long and lingering kiss in my car before walking out of it. Beca doesn't want us to kiss in front of Zari, not yet. First she wants to explain what happened. I feel relieved with that, I know Z would judge me on a whole new level when she found out I am more than a friend to Sara. It's something best friends are supposed to do... with that my mind travels to Nora and sadness punches my heart. I knew she would get angry, but I thought at least she would try to understand...

Sara's hand in mine makes me forget about it as we enter the house. There's a note on the table announcing Zari wouldn't be here for dinner. We walk upstairs and I pick up my notes next to the piano.

"I want to show you something" I say smiling.

I sit in front of the piano and clear my throat. I feel nervous and that's a good sign, means it is important. I smile brightly when I feel Sara's hand on my shoulder as I start to sing.

How about a cup of coffee?

Me and you, we can meet at the cafe.

Parler while sipping cappuccinos

If that ain't you, we can go hit a movie.

Here I am all jittery and nervous,

Got me feeling that I'm really not good at this.

In your mind I know your thinking what I'm up to.

All I wanna do is try to get to know you.

I can be the one.

You know, the one you don't know you're looking for.

We can be the spark.

To start a fire that the world's been waiting for.

The greatest love affair started with hello.

The greatest love song started with a note.

And the Mona Lisa started with a stroke.

Maybe me and you could be one of those.

The greatest idea started with a thought.

If I think hard enough I can win your heart.

Cause the greatest love story that was ever told.

Could be me and you.

You just never know.

Silence around us, Sara's hand squeezes my shoulder gently. I look up at her, she is standing next to me and her eyes are teary. Her smile though, it fills my heart with light.

She sits next to me and caresses my cheek. I giggle because it is so obvious she wants to say something but can't find the words.

"Is that song..." She asks finally, her voice weak.

"It is for you" I answer.

And she kisses me in a way a million words couldn't explain.
