Almost

Lost

Cara wakes everybody up, except the two cuddling on the sofa. Getting her camera and took a shot at the two.

Aww, look at you two. Aren't you such a bundle of joy?. She jokingly said to everyone.

Let them be. Alyssa said smiling.

There is no way I will let this pass without capturing this moment. Come, line behind the sofa, huddle up all of you. Cara commanded them, pushing them all.

She playfully and carefully placed her beloved camera pointing to their direction and directly run to fall in line too. They took a lot of photos and suprisingly the two remains sleeping soundly.

I never see her sleep this deep since forever. Nova whispers.

The calmness and contentment you get when you fall asleep in the arms of your other half. Barbara smiles.

Somebody has to wake them up, we have a big day. Cara said.

You are good with disturbing people in their peace, why don't you do it. Aly rolls her eyes at her.

Heyy, that's bullshit. Cara scoffed.

Everyone turn their backs and get on with their businesses. Cara standing there dumbfounded and putting her hands on her waist looking baffled.
In the end, she choose to let the two sleep more.

...

Is this how much I miss her that even in my sleep I could smell her addicting scent?. This feels home, I have been longing for this, I could never explain how I long for her to be in my arms again. I just hope this dream is endless. Blue said to herself when she slowly open her eyes only to be shocked that she was not dreaming, the woman was indeed on her arms.

She panicked and lost on what to do. She doesn't know wether she would stay still or stand up. She was eratic when the woman suddenly move and raise her head to meet her panic eyes.

Why are you so buffled?. Lourdes asked her.

Like it's just normal waking up in her arms.

Like the way it used to be.

What?. I, uhm I was just wondering why it's so quite. Yeah, that's all. She replied, lost for words.

Better than waking up in the midst of noise. I had a good sleep, for the longest time I can remember. Lourdes said suddenly.

She became serious and decided to be true to what she truly feels at the moment.

Me too. She said looking directly to the woman's eyes which made regret it instantly and hurriedly looked down. Uhm, let's go get something to eat. Standing up, retrieving her arms from the woman's body.

Lourdes's eyes followed her to the kitchen. Not saying anything.

I never imagined that it's only you can cure my sleepless night. Of course, who am I kidding?. I know it's always been you who could calm me down at night. Lourdes silently said to herself and lays her head at the sofa.

Blue on the other side keep thinking how can she shake of the feeling of abandonment everytime she thinks of the beautiful woman. She is her home but she is also the one who left her.

What are you up to?. Why are doing this to me?. You were my lover, stranger and now I don't know what you are to me anymore. She lets out a heavy breath after gotten even more cofused thinking why the woman suddenly want to curl up in her arms.

Aly was watching the two from afar. This two is, I don't wanna say this but they are both idiot.

I agree on that one. The solution is simply get back together and just stick to each other no matter what. Barbara said.

They are both scared, if we look at it our way, all they have to do is trust each other. Aly said.

Something that they have to worked on. Nova interrupted.

Lou will uhm, she will surrender to the enemies. Aly, closing her eyes hard when confessed.

WHAT?!. Nova and Barbara said in unison. Why the hell you telling this now?. Nova continued.

Well, at least it's not too late. Alyssa reasoned.

She thinks she is making Blue weak, right?. Cara butted in.

Fucking shit. Barbara said holding her chest out of shock when Cara talked out of nowhere which made the latter laugh.

True. She thinks surrendering will save Blue from hurting or worst dying. Aly said.

What we gonna do?. Cara asked.

Save them both. Nova said with finality.

Everyone was lost in thoughts, preparing themselves for the worst. Until now the task force did not see the 3 of the five, they thinks it's just Nova and Blue planning. Since the three got back they stayed Nova's private office behind the wall of her meeting room. They silently work, covering the loopholes and possible downfall. This is the most crucial of all their mission together, it may looked like they are not affected by it but its taking a toll on them now that they are under pressure of securing both Lourdes and Blue.

Nova wants to give her friend the happiness she long for.

Barbara want the old Blue back.

Alyssa wishes that this time, the two will fall right where they belong.

Cara prays that her favorite lovebirds will be stronger after all of this.

Neither Blue nor Lourdes wish that they could save each other.

....

Does love really conquer all?
