( in real life )THE SOUND OF THE GLASSES OF CHAMPAGNE hitting each other flooded the dining room. Sterling smiled at the window when she saw the fireworks indicating the New Year.
Sterling, Brooklyn, and Caitlin took a flight to Iowa to spend the new year with the group of close friends. To be more specific, the whole basketball team was there and some extra friends. Unfortunately, Harvey couldn't make it since she and her family were spending their new year out of the country. But after all, she was happy being in Iowa with her friends and sister.
"Jada, take us a picture!" Caitlin said happily with a big smile and wrapped her right hand around Brooklyn's waist. Brooklyn smiled at the camera, and Jada showed the picture.
Sterling smiled at them. At the end of the day, her sister is happy, and also Caitlin is, so she loves that for them. All the girls finished their dinner an hour ago, so they were ready to start the little party they had planned.
Sterling decided to go get a drink in the kitchen of the house of Haley, the girl's softball friend. When she took a sip of the drink, her phone rang. A photo of Sterling and Caroline at the beach with the sunset popped out. She's calling her.
"Hey baby," she said, putting her phone on her ear, getting out of the house, and stepping out at the backyard of the house, looking for a silent place.
The blonde girl on the other side of the phone smiled when she heard her girlfriend's voice. "Hi Sterlo, Happy New Year; I really wish you were here," Harvey said.
"Aw, I really want to be with you right now, honey; I miss you so bad." The brunette pouts her lips, remembering the amazing time they had at her home for Christmas.
"I wish you were here for my New Year's kiss," Sterling blushed.
Martin was looking at the girl from the sliding door, seeing how she was talking on her phone and smiling. She never experienced pain like that. The tall girl took a deep breath and slid the door when she saw the brunette hang her phone. She has been thinking a really long time about apologizing to Sterling and trying to talk with her about all the situations that happened between them.
With a little luck, all this misunderstanding would be solved, and they would probably at least be friends. Well, that is what Kate wants. She doesn't know how Sterling would react.
"Hey, Happy New Year, Ster," Kate said, walking slowly at her. Scared and nervous about how Sterling would respond to her.
Sterling turned around her heels and met the blonde hooper. Her eyes meet those stupid and beautiful blue eyes. Sterling's heart began to beat rapidly when she realized that Kate and her were only a couple meters apart for a very long time.
"Happy New Year, Martin," Sterling said with a forced grin; she didn't want to be rude to Kate. At this point, the brunette has already forgiven the blonde hooper.
Kate smiled; she didn't expect that. She expected a «Fuck you, Kate» or not a single word of the girl. But not this; she was still in the backyard with her. "I just wanted to apologize for everything, and I just want to tell you that I never cheated on you; I didn't know that Sydney still had a key to my apartment." The blonde's voice cracked a little bit, and Sterling frowned at her.
"I was expecting you, not her; the flowers were for you; all was for you; I didn't kiss her; I never wanted to, she just threw all over me; I should have stepped out of the dorm or locked myself in my room or something. It's all my fault for getting back with her. I'm sorry, Sterling. I'm really sorry," Martin said, and tears started rolling down her cheeks. She had kept all those tears to herself for so long.
Not an even single drop of anger was on Coss body now, she was feeling bad for Kate. After all this time, she still trusts her. Sterling knows Kate; she knows she's an amazing person; she has the sweetest soul she has ever seen.
"Kate, it's okay I already forgive you," Sterling said, wiping her tears away with the long sleeve of her leather jacket. Martin smiled at her with her crystallized eyes.
The blonde wiped the tear that was about to fall. "I want you to love me like you did before, but I know that wouldn't happen again, and that breaks me every time." Sterling felt a knot on her throat; no matter how angry she is with Kate, she hates seeing her cry and seeing her begin to hurt.
"I love you, Kate," Sterling said, and a little tear fell on her check. And she rubbed her hand at Kate's arm. But that only made Martin cry again.
"But not like I do!" She said, taking her hands on her face and wiping her tears. Martin slowly sat down at the grass of the backyard, looking at the stars of the sky. Sterling slowly took a place on the right side of Kate. Trying really hard to not cry anymore.
"I would never stop loving you," Sterling said as she slowly placed her head on Kate's shoulder, copying the blonde actions of looking at the dark blue sky. "But Caroline, she makes me feel special, so loved; I'm very happy with her," she said without taking her eyes off the sky.
Another tear fell down on Kate's face when she heard how good Caroline makes Sterling feel. And how horrible she had made me feel like the brunette.
"I know you deserve to be treated right. You're a beautiful girl, and you deserve all the good things in the world, and it's okay if I'm not the one who's giving it to you; as long as you're happy, it is enough for me." A single teardrop of Sterling's face this time.
She loves Kate, she forgives her, and she didn't lie when she said that she would never stop loving her, but right now she has a commitment. She loves Harvey; she loves the way she treats her, and she's not going to hurt the feelings of the hockey player. As much as she loves Kate, she would never be capable of doing anything that would hurt Caroline.
"I love you, Katie," she said, smiling at her. Kate copied her action and approached her to place a little soft kiss on Sterling's head.
"I love you more, Ster." Both of the girls sat down there for a little bit longer, just to enjoy each other's company; after all, they are together.ᝰ.ᐟ LIV SPEAKS
