Sara was breathing heavily, lying in bed reading one of her many smutty novels. She was rudely disrupted when she heard someone pounding on her front door.

'Who the hell is that? I was just getting to the best part.'

The story was about a woman who was in love with her coworker. It hit kind of close to home for Sara, she knew that nothing could come of her feelings. Catherine was married and had a little girl.

"Hold your horses" now very sexually frustrated Sara walked to the door "Catherine? What are you doing here? What's wrong?"

"Sorry I don't want to bother you but Eddie went crazy and I left, this time for good. I just need a place to stay until I figure out what to do. I would have gone to one of the boys but you are the only one who knows about Eddie."

"God Cath, I'm so sorry. Its fine, you can stay as long as you need. Where's Lindsey?"

"She fell asleep in the car. Truth is I've been driving around for two hours. Mostly just to make sure Eddie didn't follow me."

"Go get her; I'll make sure the spare room is cleared out."

"Thanks Sara." without a second glance Catherine leaned in and kissed Sara.

Sara walked down the hall to the spare room. All she had to do was take all her files off the bed. This was not as easy as she hoped it would be. Catherine had just kissed her all she could do was think 'what did she do that for?, does she know how I feel about her?, does she feel the same way?' she finally came to the conclusion 'she's tired and needs a friend that's all, god Sara why do you let yourself think like that?'

A few minutes later Catherine walked in with Lindsey snug in her arms. She put her little girl on the bed; both women stood and watched her sleep. When they felt that she would not wake up and was safe in her own little dream land, they walked to the living room.

"Sara, thank you so much for everything. Ill be fine her on the couch. I know you have work tomorrow, go get some sleep."

Sara couldn't believe what she was hearing. When she stood, almost doing what Catherine had told her to do; she turned and wrapped Catherine in the biggest hug she could ever give. When Catherine felt Sara's arms wrap around her she felt so much love, when she looked into her brown eyes she saw so much love, she fell back on the couch and began to cry. Sara just held her tighter until her breathing evened out.

Sara realized Catherine had fallen asleep and didn't want to disturb her. She shifted underneath her until they were laying comfortably on the couch, well as comfortable as you could get with two people on one couch.

Lindsey woke up not really knowing where she was, but she felt safe so she was sure she was close to her mom. She got out of bed and walked down the hall, on the couch was Sara, her mom wrapped safely in her arms.

She walked over to the couch and gently rubbed her moms arm. "Mom I'm hungry….wake up mom…."

Catherine slowly opened her eyes and saw Sara's beautiful face just under her own. She leaned down and kissed her awake.

Lindsey cleared her throat.

"Sorry baby, just a sec. Hey Sara, do you have any food that Lindsey can eat?"

"Yes, but I would really like to take you both out for…..what time is it?….lunch. I know this little place just down the street."

I know it was short but if you want more just tell me and I can add another chapter.
