Chapter 2
Dutch Courage
Enjoy.
"Oh Heather" Naya says as she crawls on the bed to comfort her.
"I'm.. s…sorry" Heather sobs out.
"Don't be" Naya says as she continues to comfort her.
About an hour passes when Heather finally settles down. It's breaking Naya's heart seeing her so upset so she suggests they get a take away and watch some of Heather's favourite films. Heather smiles as a response.
Half way through the film and the left over take away scattered all over the table and at least 5 bottles of beer on Heather's behalf. Naya decides that they should talk about what's happened.
"Heather" Naya says
"Yeah" Heather replies
"What happened between you and Taylor?" Naya asked quite apprehensive.
Heather took a big gulp of beer for some courage to tell Naya the whole story.
"I'm in love with someone else." Heather replied bluntly. While Naya looked quite shocked, she'd always thought Heather and Taylor were strong but obviously she'd misjudged it. Iwonderwhoitis?Nayathought.
"oh.." Naya replied. Heather looked like she didn't want to go deep into the conversation, but Naya wanted to talk about it, yeah she might not be good with feelings but she wants to get better and this may help her finally tackle her insecurities about it.
Heather could tell Naya was quite confused by the puzzled look on her face so she continued. "I still love Taylor but not enough and I wasn't going to string him a long. The person I'm in love with wont return my feelings but I cant pretend that I'm not thinking about them the majority of the time and putting my feelings to the side and pretending they don't exist because they'll just come back to bite you on the ass!"
It was time for Naya to now gulp down some beer, she hadn't drunk anything tonight because of work but when she wanted to talk about feelings she didn't realise it would be this extreme she thought she'd bitten off more than she could chew!
They remained silent for a while; they both seemed to enjoy it. The only noise they could hear was the movie playing in the background and the occasional chug of a beer from Heather.
Naya finally spoke up. "It'll get better. I know it hurts now and you feel guilty for not loving Taylor back but he deserved to know the truth he'd be more upset if you strung him a long. He can't blame you for falling in love with someone else, that's not something you can control it just happens." Woah!Ididn'tknowIhaditinme,Nayathought.
Next thing she knew, Heather's lips were on hers, kissing her hungrily. Naya allowed her to kiss her for around 10 seconds before she realised what was happening and broke it off.
"I'm urm going to bed. I think its best if you stay in the spare room tonight. I'll see you in the morning" Naya said after the realisation kicked in that her best friend had just kissed her like her life depended on it.
Before Heather could reply Naya was in her bedroom. She closed the door and slid down the back of the door in total shock of what just happened, her head in her hands desperately trying to figure out what had happened. Didshekissmetotryandmakeherselffeelbetter?Wasitthealcohol?Isitmesheloves?Naya couldn't help all these thoughts roaming around her head. She also couldn't help but think that when the initial shock wore off she actually enjoyed it.
