It all began when she saw her for the very first time. There she stood all 5ft 7inches of curvy goodness. She put an hourglass to shame with her body. Her emerald green eyes and fluffy sienna brown hair that hugged her shoulders in a somewhat cloudy performance. Kaya had brought home a friend and introduced her to us. Her name was Ash, a friend from school who would be coming over, to help with a class project that they had. She was the most polite individual I have ever met, our mom fell in love with her immediately. Ash was thoroughly welcomed into the family and that very same day she even helped mom cook dinner.
When she came over she would have a little conversation with us before going up to Kaya's room to hang out. I admired her from top to bottom and inside out, or at least I thought it was admiration until I felt my heart skip a bit whenever she would kiss my forehead when she came over. It was a customary thing for her to do. She would come over hug my mom, kiss my forehead, have a conversation with us about her day and ask mom and I about ours before going up to Kaya's room. Anytime she gave me a hug or paid attention to me I would feel my heart skip a bit or flutter and I found myself wondering what it would be like to kiss her. That's when I realised, I had a crush on my sister's friend.

On this particular day, no one was home except for Kaya and Ash. She figured that out because their shoes were near the staircase. She quickly put away her school stuff and her shoes, she needed to talk to Kaya. She needed a dress for a party that was going on later that night and she didn't wanna wear her own clothes. She followed the sounds of giggles upstairs, the door was slightly open. Her mouth opened in shock as she saw her sister passionately locked in a deep kiss with Ash. Kaya's arms wrapped around her tightly like she might fall if she let go. A soft mew like sound emitted from the kiss. Lia's head spun as different things popped up in her head.
She always thought that they were really close, she was one of the only friends allowed to come over, she was basically family by now. Nothing made sense, yet everything did. The way they seemed to glow around each other or how Ash seemed to be a tad bit protective of Kaya or even how she never seemed to see anyone else except for Kaya when they went out.
Her heart sank as her thoughts spiralled out of control. She turned to leave, she should probably give them some privacy and come to terms with this new information.
"Lia," Kaya's voice rang out, shaking her from her thoughts.
"Why are you just standing there not saying anything?"
Ash looked unfazed as she grabbed a bath towel from the shelf and headed towards the bathroom.
"Lia," she said calmly stopping to place a kiss on my forehead before leaving the room.
"So," Lia said slowly making her way to the bed and sitting down. She watched her sister watch her through the bedroom mirror while she combed out her unruly hair.
"You and Ash.." she trailed off.
"yes Lia," Kaya sighed softly. "We're together.'
"We're you gonna tell me?"
"Yea, eventually."
"oh, okay," she paused. " I, uh, actually came to borrow one of your dresses for the party tonight."
"Go ahead," she said motioning towards the closet. " Take anything you want."
Lia's eyes shone bright with excitement as she realised the rare opportunity awarded to her by her sister. She threw her arms around Kaya and kissed her cheek.
"Love you, Kaya," she said happily as she made a dash towards the closet.
"Yea Yea, love you too," she said as she finally finished taming her fluffy chocolate brown hair into a high puff. She applied mascara and some lipgloss while Lia rummaged through her closet for the perfect dress. A small squeal sounded the successful retrieval of the perfect dress followed by a "Thank you, Kaya." As she rushed towards the door.
Ash walked back in as Lia left with one of her sister's favourite dresses in hand. Lia blushed crimson as she watched the water drip from Ash's long eyelashes onto her cheeks. Her lips pouty and her cheeks flushed from the warm water she had bathed in. Ash stared down at Lia.
"Oh, you're still here, did you get what you wanted?"
"Ah, yes," Lia said showing her the little red number in her hands. Lia's eyes following a stray droplet rushing down towards the dip between her breasts.
Ash chuckled. "Take a picture it will last longer."
Kaya giggled and quickly cleared her throat. She knew the type of effect Ash had on other people including her it couldn't be helped.
"Ash, stop teasing the damn girl, you know very well that she has a crush on you."
Lia's eyes opened wide as she looked between them both.
"Y-y-you knew?"
Ash raised her hand awkwardly scratching her head, slowly turning the colour of a beet.
She pointed towards the wall. "Uh, thin walls."
"Hard not to know, when you're moaning my name like that." Ash eyed her and then shook her hair trying to cover her burning face accidentally wetting them both as she did so.
Lia ran out of the room the colour of a bleeding tomato followed by the sound of a slamming door.
