I cheated on my girlfriend with a girl (my ex) who’s also in a relationship, now I don’t know how to handle the situation?

Let me start from the beginning. I’ve know my ex almost my whole life. We've dated on and off through middle school and into our freshman years before a argument split us up on good terms. We never really lost feelings. We have dated other people throughout the years and tried to forget each other but one way or another we end up talking once again. I will refer to this girl as Sara. Sara has been in a relationship for the past 6 months. I have been in a relationship for almost 2 years. Throughout both of our relationships we have been talking, flirting, and meeting up in private. Nothing to serious has happened between us until recently when I got a call past midnight from Sara saying she was drunk, couldn’t drive, and needed help. So willingly I went and picked her up and we decided to go back to my place. Anyone reading can assume exactly what happened. What happened that night brought us closer together and magnified my feelings for her and as well as hers for me. We met up and continued for about a week until she felt guilty and told her s/o about what happened. He didn’t leave her but rather said he wants to work through it in which she agreed. She said she’d love a relationship with me but she also deeply cares for this guy and she says she loves him ( I truly don’t think she does). I want her, and want to be with her. We love each other and connect really well. I just feel like it’s always been meant to be. Now she says that we shouldn’t talk so that she can try and respect and rebuild w/ her s/o even though it’s not what she wants to do. I told her I’d try and respect that and step back although this isn’t what I want either. She said if they ever do break up she’s coming straight to me with open arms. I’m stuck wanting her so badly but not able to reach out to her or see her anymore. Part of me thinks they will break it off and everything will work out but the other part of me thinks that they will work through it and I’ll lose her. What do I do?
