You and Me… and Everything in Between
Chapter 10: Just Like Old Times
It has been exactly one week since Naya and I told all of our friends about our relationship. Everyone was very excited and very accepting, which was nice. I don't think any of them were really surprised. In fact, later on that night after we watched the episode, mostly everyone said that they had been secretly hoping that we would get together. I feel kinda foolish for being the only person to not know that Naya and I belong together. Anyways, I kind of figured that's how their reactions would go because our cast mates are like a second family to us. Speaking of family… we still have to tell them. I'm a little more nervous on that end because I honestly don't know how my family will react. Not only that, but I'm not even sure what to tell them. I mean, am I gay now because I'm dating another girl or am I bi like Brittany? I don't really care much for labels, but I'm assuming that my family will ask these sorts of questions and I want to be able to give them a proper answer. I don't want to seem hesitant or unsure because then they might think this is some type of phase or experiment, but it's not… Naya is so much more than that. She has been a very important part of my life since day one, and now… she's even more important and makes me super happy, so that's all that really matters to me right now.
Since rumors of Santana and Brittany possibly being more than friends started at the end of Season 1, that topic has always been a little touchy with my mom. Don't get me wrong… my mom's not homophobic or anything… but she was raised in a very conservative household and living in Arizona, she doesn't really have that much, if any, exposure to same-sex relationships. I just hope that my mom doesn't freak out because Naya is a very significant part of my life. My mom loved Naya immediately when they first met years ago. I just hope that doesn't change now that Naya is a little more than my best friend… okay, a lot more. Not only that, but I think my mom still might be in a little denial about the end of me and Taylor's relationship. When I first told her, she didn't think it was a big deal, probably because she expected us to get back together like everyone else did. He had been a big part in all of my family's lives since we first started dating, so accepting the fact that he wasn't going to be around anymore and be the future son my mom always wanted was a hard pill to swallow. I did it though, so I think my mom can manage.
Naya's family on the other hand… I think they'll be cool. When it became more apparent that Santana and Brittany were in love with each other, that immediately catapulted Naya to the top of every LGBT list. Honestly, who am I to disagree with the world cuz my girlfriend is HOTT! Even with the tons of exposure Naya started getting from the media about her character, her family has been nothing but supportive. Naya is so strong and has been doing a damn good job of spreading awareness and being a visible ally for the LGBT community. She is a great and positive role model, although she would deny it if you asked her. She is the reason why I'm less afraid of telling my family and the media that I'm hers, proudly so.
Anyways, enough of my rambling…
So, I'm currently outside the Columbia Records building, trying to find a decent parking spot. Glee is officially on hiatus until the new year so I thought I would stop by the studio and surprise Naya for lunch. Also, I wanted to talk to her about tonight. You see… tonight is the last new episode of the year and recently, we have all been getting together to watch it, just like we used to back in the day. However, Darren had this great idea that instead of watching the new episode, we should go bowling or sing karaoke. I thought it was a great idea, but I think he also had an ulterior motive… Dizzy. Since the two of them met a couple of months ago, both have mentioned the other's name in random conversations. I think it's cute and totally think they should give it a go. Wow… that was very British of me. Guess I've been hanging out with Dizzy a lot lately, which is fine cuz she's a hoot!
I finally find a suitable parking space and make my way into the building. Since I've been at the studio a few times now, I pretty much know my way around to the area Naya will most likely be in. As I approach one of the recording booths, I spot Dizzy sitting in front of the mixing board. She looks like she's in deep concentration so I quietly sneak into the room so I won't disturb her. I hear a soft rock/pop melody in the background and then I notice her… my girl. Naya looks so focused with her eyes tightly closed and hands gripping her headphones. Taking in her appearance, I finally start to listen to the words she's singing.
But at the end of the day, I realize
I can't be your second prize
"Good, Naya… try the second chorus again," Dizzy says into the microphone. Naya keeps her eyes closed, but nods her head and starts again.
Every time that you talk about him
My heart breaks just a little bit
Naya's eyes close even tighter than before as she lowers her left hand and places it over her heart. She looks like she's in so much pain and I don't know why.
Trying to understand why we aren't together
When our puzzle pieces perfectly fit
She removes her hand from her heart and balls in into a fist. Naya has always been good at conveying strong emotions in every performance, but this seemed more authentic… more real.
And I don't wanna push you away
I don't wanna leave you behind
Naya brings her balled up fist back to her heart. I see a tear slowly sliding down her cheek and I almost lose it. My eyes are starting to water up, but that's the least of my worries. All I want to do is run in there and hold her while kissing all of her tears away.
But my heart can't rest knowing I'll never be
More than you're second best
The music fades out and Naya looks down, taking a deep breath. She removes her headphones and starts dragging her palms against her eyes, wiping away her tears.
"Wow, Nay… that was incredible! Really, top-notch!" Dizzy says.
"Thanks Dizz..." she starts to say while finally looking up. Our eyes meet and immediately, her eyes go wide. "Heather?"
Dizzy turns around and is also surprised to see me, based on her facial expression.
"Holy Hell, Heath… how long have you been standing there?" Dizzy asks me.
"Just a few minutes…" I respond, quickly wiping away the wetness on my face.
"Shit…" I hear Naya say as she exits the recording booth. She enters the sound booth and just stares at me. "Hey…" she finally says after a minute.
"Hi…" I reply back. "I wanted to surprise you…"
Naya opens her mouth to say something, but nothing comes out.
"Right… well, I'm gonna go get some tea or one of those fancy frappuccino things," Dizzy says. "You guys want anything?" Naya and I both shake our heads. "Right… I'll leave you to it then," she says while exiting the room.
"Heather… you weren't supposed to hear that," she starts off nervously, "at least not yet."
Taking in what Naya just said and the partial song I just heard, everything started to make sense. All the emotions, the pain, the fear… I knew exactly what that song was about, or rather who it was about.
"That song was about him, wasn't it? Or at least when I was still with him," I stated more than asked.
Naya didn't make eye contact with me. She just continued to look at the ground and slowly nod her head. Seeing her like this took me back to the day when she confessed everything. She looked so lost and afraid. Things were great between us though… I mean, Naya and I were girlfriends so I couldn't understand why she would be singing this song that's so sad and depressing.
"Naya… baby, look at me," I said, grabbing her hands.
She ignored my request and continued to look at the floor. I decided to take matters into my own hands and lifted her chin up, forcing her to look into my eyes. I placed a soft, but meaningful kiss to her luscious lips before pulling away.
"I'm with you now… that's the only thing that matters!" I said sincerely. I felt her relax a little in my arms as she nodded her head in understanding. "So, you wanna tell me why you were singing that song?"
Naya motions to the empty chairs in the room so we both take a seat. She takes another deep breath before speaking again.
"I wrote that song a while ago, back when I had almost given up all hope…" she begins. "Writing this song was like an outlet for my feelings because I couldn't talk to you about them. As time went on and you guys were still together, I thought I might just die with all of these emotions…"
Hearing Naya sound so insecure and unsure of herself hurts me. Honestly, if she had told me earlier about her feelings, I don't know how I would've reacted. I just wish that I wasn't so oblivious to not notice something earlier.
"Anyways, we're getting closer and closer to finishing my album, but mostly all of the songs are really upbeat and chipper… mostly cuz they're about you," she states bashfully. "Seriously… this album could be called Songs About Heather," she says with a chuckle. I feel a blush covering my cheeks as I smile at her, waiting for her to continue. "I needed some songs that had a little more depth and added another dimension to the album. I had mentioned this song to Dizzy and she loved it so we've been toying with the idea of possibly putting it on the album as well."
"Okay… I get that, but why couldn't you just tell me that?" I questioned. Naya ducks her head down again and places her head in her hands, shaking back and forth briefly.
"I was going to, but I don't know…." she starts off, removing her hands from her face. "We're in such a good place right now and I just didn't want to mess that up by being so insecure. Those are such old feelings that they shouldn't matter anymore, but thinking back on when I actually wrote this song does make me a little uneasy though," she says so lowly that I almost missed it.
"But why, baby?" I ask, very concerned. "I'm your girlfriend now so why is it making you feel this way?"
"I guess there's just that little voice in the back of my head saying, it's never gonna happen," she begins. "I know that you're mine now, but sometimes I can't help but think that this isn't real or somebody's gonna steal you away from me…" she continues, but briefly pauses. "I was gonna tell you about the song, but not until I was 100% on whether I was gonna use it on the album or not."
"Naya Marie… I don't want you to ever doubt us," I start off, interlacing her fingers with mine. "I know that it took us a while to get here, but now that I've got you… I'm not letting you go!" She smiles at me as I tuck a strand of her hair behind her ear. She leans into my touch.
"Do you think I shouldn't use it then?" Naya asks, softly.
"Ultimately, it's up to you babe…" I state. "However, if it's gonna make you feel like this every time you hear it or sing it, then maybe you should give it a little more thought."
"But what do you think, babe?" Naya inquires. "I want your honest opinion cuz this song isn't just about me. How do you feel about it?"
"Well, I only heard a little of it, but it was really sad. I hate knowing that I, unintentionally, made you feel like that and that you almost never told me how you felt," I choke up a little. "Honestly, you make me so happy Naya and I can't imagine how things would be if we weren't together right now."
"Aww, baby… come here," Naya says as she stands up, pulling me up with her. She wraps her arms around my neck and begins to hum. I start to feel calmer as our bodies start to gently sway. She slightly turns her head so I can feel her hot breath in my ear, making my body shiver.
Standing on my tippy toes
Waiting for my lips to meet yours
She softly sings into my ear before pulling away from me slightly. She then proceeds to stand on her tiptoes and places a chaste kiss on my lips.
"What song is that from?" I barely manage to breathe out, still amazed by the affect this girl has on me.
"Just something else I've been working on," she replies sweetly, returning to the ground flat-footed.
She's looking deep into my eyes, almost as if there's something more she wants to say. But she doesn't. Instead, she continues to keep her hold on me until it seems to be too much for her. She breathes in deeply and opens her mouth again.
"Heather, I lo…" Naya starts to say, but gets interrupted by a returning Dizzy.
"Oh, sorry guys… I can come back," Dizzy apologizes.
"Don't be silly Diz… this is a place of business, after all," Naya replies, loosening her grip on me.
What was she about to say? It almost sounded like… no, don't be ridiculous! We've only been going out for a couple of months so I doubt that she feels that way just yet. Although, she has had feelings for me all of this time, so it's not completely out of the realm of possibility. But if that's the case, why wouldn't she have just told me that night when she told me everything else?
"Uh, Heather… are you okay?" Dizzy asks.
"Huh?" I respond quickly. I guess I got so wrapped up inside my head that I hadn't realized that people were talking to me.
"I was asking what brought you here today?" Dizzy inquires.
"Oh, I was gonna take Naya to lunch, but it seems like you guys are really busy," I state, suddenly feeling like I'm imposing and should probably leave.
"Nonsense… I mean, yes we are a little busy but if you can hang out for about an hour, then you guys can go get a bite to eat," the British girl says.
"Is that okay with you?" I say, looking at Naya.
"Of course, babe… you know you're my inspiration," she responds, grabbing my hand and linking our pinkies. I smile in return.
"Actually, since you're both here, there's something I wanted to ask you guys," I start off. "Nay, have you talked to Di or Kev about tonight?"
"No, but I haven't checked my phone in a while since we've been recording. Why, what's up?" Naya asks.
"Instead of the usual episode screening tonight, we decided to do something a little more fun like bowling and karaoke. What do you think?" I ask.
"I'm in!" Naya responds excitedly. "How bout you Diz… I'm sure Darren will be there," she says with a wink. I giggle at her and look over at Dizzy, waiting for her response.
If I didn't know any better, I'd say her cappuccino colored skin was turning a slight shade of pink. It's funny cuz she almost reminds me of Naya and how she claims that "Ethnic people don't blush!" For other people, it might be more difficult to tell, but I always notice it on Naya. It makes her that much more adorable.
"Um, yeah… I suppose I could make an experience," Dizzy states, trying to sound aloof. She ain't fooling nobody!
"Oh, cut the crap Diz… Heather and I both know you two have been canoodling since that night you met," Naya states matter-of-factly.
"Canoodling… really Nay?" I say, looking at my adorable girlfriend.
"What… I was trying to be cute," she says with a small pout.
"You don't have to try, sweetie," I say, giving her a quick peck to her cheek. We then turn our focus back on Dizzy, who has now turned a darker shade of pink.
"Oh, bollocks! Fine, we're dating… are you happy now?" Dizzy finally says.
"A little bit," I say with a smirk on my face. "But seriously, you two are so cute together… not cuter than me and Nay, but a close second," I say with my mega-watt smile. Now it's Naya's turn to blush.
"You two are terrible!" Dizzy says, shaking her head at us. "So, where is this place at then?"
"You sure you don't wanna just ask your boyfriend?" Naya teases. Dizzy gives her death glare that would be Santana-worthy. "Okay, okay… I was just kidding," she says, raising her hands up defensively.
"It's at this place called All Star Lanes. We're meeting up around 8," I reply.
"Okay then, I will see you guys there. Now, can we please get back to work Ms. Rivera?" Dizzy asks, trying to sound more authoritative, but not really.
"Yes ma'am!" Naya states with a salute. Dizzy and I just shake our heads.
"Nay, are you sure you don't want to finish up in private?" I ask, hesitantly. If the other songs they are working on today are anything like the one I heard before, then I don't think I could take hearing them without breaking down and sobbing like a 3 year old.
"No, it's fine… I want you to hear this next one," Naya states, giving me a quick peck on the lips before returning to the recording booth. She puts her headphones back on and gives Dizzy a nod. A soft melody begins to play in the background. I catch Naya's eyes for a moment before she shoots me a small smile and closes her eyes.
You by the light is the greatest find
In a world full of wrong, you're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely to the other side
Something about Naya's voice has always captivated me. She always tells me something similar when she sees me dance, but honestly… I don't think there's any comparison. This girl is just too amazing!
You said it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
Naya finally opens her eyes and looks at me. I still feel that raw emotion in her voice, but the pain I heard and saw before are gone.
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life
And there's that word… Love. Is Naya in love with me? Is this her subtle way of telling me? I don't know, but the way Naya is looking at me right now, it feels like it's only me and her cuz nothing else exists.
This could be good
It's already better than last
And nothing's worse than knowing
You're holding back
I could be all that you needed
If you let me try
I'm starting to feel it, the tears begging to be released. Where is a freaking Kleenex box when you need it! Naya hasn't broken her gaze on me since opening her eyes. It's almost like every word is specifically for me, especially as the chorus comes back around.
I only said it 'cause I mean it
I only mean it 'cause it's true
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming
'Cause it fills me up and holds meclose
Whenever I'm without you
As the tears start to stream down my face, I finally get it. Naya loves me, but she's too afraid to tell me right now. Maybe she's afraid that it's too soon or that I won't say it back. Honestly, I don't know what I would say at this point. I care about her so much and I don't want to hurt her, but what if I'm not ready to say it yet. I mean, I was with Taylor for so long and was so sure that I loved him and that we would grow old together, but I was wrong. What I feel for Naya is something like I've never felt before. Maybe it's love… maybe it's true love. Whatever it is, I need to find out.
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time and the last time
In my only life
As she sings the last note, she wipes away the wetness from her face and smiles at me. Whatever these feelings are, I'll figure them out eventually. But the way she smiles at me, that smile reserved just for me… that's the only thing that matters in this moment.
After the intensity that began earlier in the day, I was really looking forward to just relaxing and hanging out with my friends. The rest of Naya's recording session had gone on without further tears. When we broke for lunch, we didn't discuss the implications of that particular song, which I think was for the best. When the time is right, I think we'll both know.
After lunch was finished, I parted ways with my girlfriend so that she and Dizzy could finish working without me distracting them. It was a nice break because it gave me time to go home and chill with Ashley for a bit. We've both been working so much lately that we haven't really gotten a chance to just catch up. Well, there's that and the fact that I'd been staying at Naya's a lot during the week. It's nice to wake up in her arms and vice versa. I feel so safe in her arms and sometimes feel like I never want to leave them, if possible.
So, here we are pulling up outside of All Star Lanes just before 8 o'clock. Kevin and Vanessa had gotten here a little earlier to reserve lanes and whatnot. As we walk in, we spot the majority of our group already present. I wonder how tonight will be between me and Naya, especially in a public group setting, now that everyone knew about us. It's nice to not have to hide from our friends anymore, but there is always someone with a fancy camera phone lurking around the corner. Naya and I had agreed that until we told our families about us, then we would keep a low-profile in public. That basically meant that we would still be our goofy, touchy-feely selves, but nothing extra… and definitely no kissing. Luckily, we could still hold hands or pinkies without any outsiders being suspicious.
"Hey guys! Glad you could make it!" Kevin yells, throwing his arms around both of us.
"Of course, Little Bee… you didn't think I would miss a chance to kick your ass, did you?" Naya teases.
"Yeah, we'll see about that," Kevin replies.
As we greet the rest of our friends, I spot Darren and Dizzy and then Lea and Cory standing very close to each other, whispering back and forth. I can't wait till Naya and I can be open like that and not have to worry about the wrong person seeing us. I can only imagine the drama that would cause, us ending up on some magazine cover or TMZ and getting several upset phone calls from our families.
We had already talked about this and planned to tell each of our families in person during the Christmas break. Yeah, we could've done it over the phone to get it over with, but we both felt that our families deserved more. Naya is important to me and I wouldn't want to belittle our relationship by just casually bringing up the fact that we're dating in the 5 minute phone call my mom makes every week to make sure that I'm eating properly, etc. Naya and I have very similar morals and views on things, that's why I think we just automatically clicked when we first met. So, until we tell our families, we're left with pretending to only be best friends… for now.
"Alrighty, so what are the teams?" Naya asks.
"Well, before everyone got here, Vanessa and I sorted through everyone's names and tried to make the teams as equal as possible," Kevin states. "The only stipulation is that no couple could be on the same team."
"Boo this man!" Naya shouts, eliciting laughs from our cast mates. "That just makes me want to kick your ass that much more Bee," she says, putting on her best Santana smirk.
"Aw snap, Snix is in the building!" Amber shouts.
"Calm down Bee, it's not the end of the world. It's just a little friendly competition," Kevin replies.
"Whatever, just tell us what the teams are," Naya says, faking boredom.
"Okay… there will be 3 teams of 7," Kevin begins. "On Team Badass, there is Naya, Mark, Amber, Dianna, Dizzy, Jacob, and Blake."
"Oh hell yeah, this game is over!" Amber says, channeling her inner Mercedes.
"Truth!" Naya states simply.
"Next, on Team Unicorn…"
"Really, Team Unicorn?" Cory asks in disbelief.
"Don't look at me… Vanessa made up the names," Kevin states. "Anyways, it's me, HeMo, Lea, Darren, Harry, Chris, and Vanessa." Vanessa and I high-five each other. "And lastly, Cory, Chord, Melissa, Alex, Samuel, Becca, and Jenna make up Team Newbie," he concludes.
"Why am I on Team Newbie and Dizzy, Jacob, and Blake get to be on Team Badass?" Cory questions, something that other people are probably wondering as well.
"Well, you're like Mr. Schue so you need to whip these youngsters into shape," Kevin jokes. "As far as everyone else… Jacob is a Puckerman, Blake is the reigning champ of the Glee Project, and Dizzy is British… it doesn't get more bad ass than that!"
Kevin looks over at Dizzy and winks, causing an awkward smile to form on her face. He then looks at Darren's face, which is slightly tilted and is displaying a look of amusement. The whole scene is quite entertaining. I think Kevin might be slightly bitter that Dizzy and Darren seem to be an item now when he clearly called dibs on her that night we all met her. There's no bad blood between him and Darren though cuz I think at the end of the day, Kevin realized that Darren is a better match for her. Not saying that there's anything wrong with Kevin cuz he's a great guy, but I don't think he's looking for a serious relationship at the moment.
"Babe, it sucks that we can't be on the same team," Naya says. "It's unfortunate, but I will have to kick your ass too!" she states, playfully.
"Just because most of you guys play bad asses on the show, doesn't mean that you're any good at bowling," I respond, feeling pretty confident and badass myself.
"Oh yeah… care to make it interesting?" Naya says in her very low, raspy and sexy voice.
"W-what did you have in mind?" I stutter out. She steps impossibly closer to me.
"Well… if you win," she begins, tracing my collarbone with her finger. It has gotten really hot in here all of a sudden. "I will wash your car, very slowly… wearing an outfit of your choosing."
Damn… she's good!
"Yeah…" I breathe out, "that sounds good." I feel like my whole body is on fire.
"And if I win…" she starts again, but I cut her off.
"I'll strip for you…" I whisper into her ear seductively, gaining my composure back. Now it's her turn to tremble a little bit.
"Deal…" she says, barely above a whisper.
"Ahem!" Kevin clears his throat. I guess we got caught up in a moment. "I hate to interrupt this cloud of sexual tension that you guys have formed, but everyone's ready to start."
"Right… let's do this then," Naya says, slowly allowing space in between us. "Good luck babe," she says, pecking me on the cheek. I smile and join my team.
After 3 games of bowling, Team Newbie was crowned victorious. I tell ya, that Melissa is a ringer! I swear, she must belong to a bowling league or something cuz she blew everyone's scores out of the water. As we all enjoy a few drinks and refreshments from the snack bar, Lea and Dianna take the stage to kick off the karaoke portion of our evening. As the music begins to play, I smile at my recognition of the song.
Once upon a time a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me…
Dianna starts off the song, prancing around the stage while Lea just stands in the middle, smirking.
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me…
Lea then takes over vocals, advancing towards Di while she retreats. Lea then turns around and falls backwards, Di catching her at the last second. I look at Naya next to me and she's just shaking her head, probably cuz this almost looks like a rehearsed Glee performance.
And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
Both girls sing the hook before reaching the chorus, going back and forth with the lines.
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Even though I'm convinced that these 2 cheated by choreographing their performance ahead of time, it was still quite amusing to watch. After their song finishes up, the crowd applauds and the next 2 people take the stage… Darren and Dizzy. I wonder what they will be singing.
If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match
Cause I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am
Oh my God! I love this song! As Dizzy sings the first few lines, I innocently wrap my arms around Naya's waist as she wraps hers loosely around my neck. We slowly sway from side to side, smiling and giggling at each other.
If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching, I'll make it better
Cause I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am
As Darren starts to sing, I can't help but be amazed by this incredible woman in front of me. Knowing that Naya is my girlfriend makes everything better in this sometimes crappy world. As I continue to look at this beautiful creature before me, all the sad and hurt emotions that I felt earlier on in the day just drift away and become obsolete.
I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
"You should use the song…" I state. Naya gives me a confused look, so I continue. "For your album… you should put that song on your album."
Sew on patches to all you tear
"Are you sure?" Naya asks, finally understanding what I was referring to.
Cause I love you more than I could ever promise
"Yeah…" I start off. "Although that was a sad time that I'd prefer you not think about, I think it's necessary to show where you are now… where we are. I've got you and you've got me… that's all that really matters," I conclude.
And you take me the way I am
"Thank you, Heather…" Naya states, beaming at me. "I really want to kiss you right now."
You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am
Darren and Dizzy finish the song in unison.
"Yeah… I know the feeling," I respond, placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "They'll be plenty of time for that later." She nods her head.
"Speaking of later…" she starts off, "looks like we both lost the bet."
"I think you're right…" I reply, playfully. "When would you like to claim your prize?"
"Soon… very soon," Naya says, pecking my nose.
As we finally break apart, we congratulate Darren and Dizzy on their wonderful duet. Yes, tonight indeed was duets night and Naya and I were up next. Instead of doing a mushy ballad that would probably alert some unwanted attention, we decided to just have fun and be silly. We both take the stage and look at each other one last time before the beat kicks in.
I'm feeling sexy and free
Like glitter's raining on me
You're like a shot of pure gold
I think I'm 'bout to explode
Naya leads off, strutting her stuff on stage. I love watching her perform. Anyone that watches her can tell that she was born to do this. It's amazing how someone that gorgeous and talented can be so goofy.
I can taste the tension like a cloud of smoke in the air
Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there
Don't you know? You spin me out of control
I take the next part, just playing off of Naya's energy. We didn't rehearse or anything crazy like that, but the way we move together on stage just seems natural. It's always been like this, since day one… that's why we make such a great two-shot.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We can do this all night
Damn this love is skin tight
Baby, come on
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Boom me like a bass drum
Sparkin' up a rhythm
Baby, come on!
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
We start getting more into the performance and even involve the crowd a little. Then, we take it home once the chorus rolls around.
Rock my world into the sunlight
Make this dream the best I've ever known
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
Every second is a highlight
When we touch don't ever let me go
Dirty dancing in the moonlight
Take me down like I'm a domino
We finish up the rest of the song, just laughing and being our usual selves. It feels so nice being with Naya because nothing seems forced. Everything between us just flows naturally without any effort. It's definitely a nice change of pace from my previous relationship. Naya accepts me for exactly who I am and has never tried to change me into something I'm not. That's the thing I love about this girl… she's everything to me. I've always loved her as my best friend, but now… I definitely think it's much greater than I ever expected it to be.
Author's Note:
Guys… I am so sorry about the delay in my update. I've been so slammed at work that I've barely gotten a free moment to myself, but I'm back now! Sorry about the lack of "physical" stuff between Naya and Heather, but trust me… in due time, it will come. Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed the group outing and interactions. Thanks again to everyone who's been reading/following my story. Special shout out to Guest Heya… I really appreciate your words and that you took the time out to read all 9 chapters in one day… that's crazy awesome! Til next time! -Kris
