Sitting in her garden, surrounded by different shapes of green Marina couldn't get rid of the continuous thoughts in her head. Tormented by the idea of hurting Ava, she had a decision to make. Conflicted with what her next action should be, she open a pack of cigarettes she hadn't smoked for the last 3 months and decided she was going to fix this. At full speed she got up of the sofa chair that oversees the plain solid wooden bench in front of it and left the house from the back garden, closing the kitchen doors and her insecurities on her back.
-Where are you? -Marina texted Ava, just before she started to drive towards her house. She must be there, or so she thought. While driving, her head were being filled with waves of thoughts. Everything she wanted to say. She knew Ava for so long... In the end she knew. She knew she had to risk losing her in order to keep her.
No response.
-Siri... Call Ava...- Marina ordered. Her phone ringed, ringed once more and then some more. Once again no answer. She couldn't avoid but to wonder, what has she done? Perhaps this time she had really ruined their relationship. All of her fears were playing up and there was no way to contain this immense need to see Ava.
-Siri...- Call Ava - She tried once more, thinking she wouldn't simply ignore her. - Come on Ava, please pick up...

As soon as she arrived to Ava's house she parked her car and running towards the door she desperately knocked. Marina was simply hoping to see her green eyes and robbed them from the pain she caused them before. She knocked once more.
The sound of keys in the key hole, gave her the hope she was looking for.
-What are you doing here? - Ava asked with a tired voice, loaded with disappointment and dismay.
-We need to talk.
-Why?- Ava's voice was overtired with no particular interest in what the answer really was.
-Can I get in?
-Sure...
Still by the door, now closed behind Marina's back she continued...
- I couldn't stay home Ava... You are so important to me and I don't think you can imagine how much do I care for you. I can't bear the idea of losing you. I hate it. I simply hate it. I love every moment I have with you. With you I can be me, I can speak of anything. I am not afraid. For a very long time you are the only girl I actually enjoy just holding close to me. I really like when we stay together and I can feel you in my arms while you sleep - Ava's eyes left the floor in shock - You are the reason I don't stay with any women until the next day. No women could ever make me feel like you do when I wake in the morning and see you. - Marina walked closer to Ava, gently pulled her chin up so she could look deeply in her eyes and run through the green forest she felt so free at.- Do you understand what I am telling you Ava?- A shy smile found Marina. Her hand brushed a silky hair she now locked behind her ear. - You are the most important person in my life. I just want you...
-Marina...
-Ava...
They look at each other. Suddenly was as if all the feelings contained by them were now in between their bodies, pulling them like magnets. Impossible to walk in any other direction other then to find each other. They finally kissed. Like a crown stolen from a forbidden land, this kiss was the most precious treasure they would ever find and so they kissed a kiss made of thin crystal. They touched each other with soft gloved hands. Every movement was carefully made so that nothing would break or fall apart. The most precious treasure was there, as it was for a long time, this time only was exposed, afraid, shy but hopeless, courageous, but scrupulous.
-My Ava...- Marina whispered preconsciously, before she kept kissing her. - I have waited for so long to kiss you. -Like a koala bear Marina carried Ava to the living room sofa.

As if they were set to move in a silence slow motion choreography Marina delicately laid Ava's body on the sofa chaise-long leaving space for her in the next chaise-longue side of the sofa. In the room it was a smell of freshly grounded coffee beans in the format of a hot cup of coffee paired with a plate of jaffa cakes. Even though a delicious temptation, they were exceptionally far from Ava's mind.
- I thought you just never saw me that way... - Ava confessed.
-How Ava? Have you not notice how happy I am around you? Why would I take you to a dinner just me and you to celebrate? Why would I keep by your side so many nights holding you so close to me? I can't be apart from you... Don't you see it? You are my penguins... - She smiled and gently kissed her lips.
-Why have you never showed me this before?
-I didn't wanted to ruin things between us... I thought you would be better with someone else, someone better...
-Is this why you push me towards other people? You are too silly, you are the most amazing women I ever know. You are complex, you might not say much, but the little you say it means so much more than the empty speeches of others. You show a very confident side of you to everyone, but I know there is a soft, caring, fragile side of you. This is the Marina I like, the one I know, the real one.
-You leave me with no words. The way you see me and know me. I just want to keep you close to me and take care of you.
-So stay... It is the only thing I want... For you to stay...- Ava said with a kiss to confirm the truth sentiment she wanted to share with Marina.
They had finally find each other. Truly find each other. The way two souls meet for the first time and lock their hands together in a promise to always stick by each other side. They were finally truly happy. No metaphor could ever express this in a better way, nothing else but pure, innocent happiness.
