Hey everybody! I have been receiving so much positive feedback on the story that I need to say thanks, thanks for being so faithful to each chapter, it has really been a blast sharing it with you all. First of all, I would like to say that this chapter is my favorite so far, and probably of the whole fic. It all started with this chapter since it was the first one I ever wrote, it started as just a one-shot and then I had so many ideas for it that it turned into a novel. It's not as long as some other chapters but it's just so special that I am sure that you will all like it. From now on the story will become much quicker and it will be a smooth ride until the end ;).Hope you guys like it!
Chapter 12
Naya was in the kitchen making dinner when she heard a knock on the door. She stopped what she was doing and hurried to see who it was. The brunette opened it and there was Heather looking beautiful but with a sad look on her face.
"Hey Hemo", said Naya looking at her lovingly. They hadn't spoken in two days or even seen each other at work because of the hiatus of the show and the fact that Heather had been with Taylor before he left. This killed Naya but she pulled it together because there was something going on with her best friend.
"Can I come in?" Asked Heather, looking into Naya's eyes.
"Sure, sure, come on in" said Naya to her.
"Do you want something to drink?"
"Uhm yeah, something strong" said Heather as she sat on the couch.
"Had a rough day?" asked Naya wondering what could make Heather drink as she never drunk outside of special occasions.
"You have no idea" responded Hemo.
Naya went into the kitchen and got two glasses from the counter and poured some wine she found from a bottle in the fridge into them. She came out of the kitchen and gave her one glass.
"I know it's not very strong but it's the only thing I have" said Naya talking about the wine.
"It's fine, perfect actually, just like you" responded Hemo smiling sweetly to her best friend. Naya couldn't help it but blush a bit and look down to her glass.
Naya kept wondering what was Heather doing there; they hadn't talked for a while after the night where they had gotten so close of finally deciding to do something about their feelings that were clearly affecting them. She was the first to tell Heather how she felt and Heather although she said it too, did not fight for them and went home to Taylor, after the discussion they had. Naya had been pissed at her for being that way when all this was started by her, Heather was the one that had kissed her first, she was the one that made Naya realize that she did not want any other person in her world, just her. And now there they were and neither of them had a clue of what was going to happen.
Naya couldn't take it any longer and asked Heather. "Heather what are you really doing here" she felt she had said that phrase so many times in the past weeks and it never led to anything more than a discussion or anger sex. Although Naya was dying to be with her again, this time she had to know what was going on before she ended up more confused and hurt than she already was.
"I wanted to see you" responded Heather honestly. She had been with Taylor the past two days trying to get rid of all the feelings she had for Naya and couldn't even get her out of her mind for a second. Everything she saw, everything she said or did reminded her of her best friend, the Latina that had made those past three years since they met amazing. The only person who made her laugh every day, the only person that made her feel things that she never imagined feeling. Feelings that she once had with Tay but now that she had been with Naya she realized that the feelings for her were nothing compared to anything she had ever felt. The most pure and beautiful feeling, love.
"I just dropped off Taylor at the airport and said goodbye to him, he was sad that I was distracted all the time because of you and me and he said that I obviously loved you more because he knows I would rather spend all day with you than with him" said Heather with hurt in her voice. Naya kept listening and getting angrier at what Heather was saying, it seemed as if she was blaming her for something that they both did.
"Seeing him say those things to me, it killed me… and I didn't know what to do, so I came here after I…"
Naya couldn't take it any longer and lost it. "Oh and that's my fault? Heather, you were the one that kissed me first and refused to talk about it each time we kissed or had sex and afterwards you always had regrets. How do you think that makes me feel? Huh?" Asked Naya as her voice kept rising and anger tears were forming in her eyes.
"I even told you that I loved you and you did nothing to fight for us, we just got trapped in this stupid little game where we just played with each other's feelings when we knew damn straight that it would only hurt us more. That is why I told you all those things the other night, those were my true feelings, and I said them to you because I wanted to see what would happen with us!" Naya kept screaming while Heather just looked at her without believing all the things Naya was saying.
"I even told John that I didn't want to see him anymore, all that for you, and how dare you come here and say to me those things when you haven't even talked to me for two days because you were with him!" Naya kept on screaming.
"When you know how much this hurts me and I curse at how you make me feel, how I want to leave everything behind and just be with you! I curse at the moment that I realized that you made me a better person and that I can't do anything about it because you were never mine!"
Heather had been listening the whole time and started crying half way through the speech. Now she covered her face with her hands not knowing what to say, she had always had trouble finding the right words.
"What, aren't you gonna say anything?!" Said Naya enraged.
Heather finally had the courage to speak up and said, "What do you want from me!?" Naya looked at her shocked by Heather's reaction all of a sudden.
"What do I want from you?! I want you to tell me that you love me as much as I love you, that you do not regret anything that has happened between us in the past few weeks, that you will do anything to be with me and that you want only me! Tell me what do you want because I am sick and tired of wasting my time if you do not feel anything for me. I just want this feeling of being sucked into a pitch of blackness where you are not there and where I can't be with you to end." Said Naya crying and out of breath while waiting for Heather to respond to her words.
"You think that I don't love you?! That I don't care about you!? That I don't want to cry every time I think of you and how messed up this is?! You think that I don't curse at myself every single day that I can't get myself to fight for you? Because I'd rather be alone than being without you, I don't want Taylor or anybody else but you. And I can't believe how I hurt him because I let this thing of us go on and on because I kept denying that I felt anything for you when all I can do is love you. But I don't care about him anymore and I don't care if he is hurt because the only person that matters in this world to me is you!"
Heather started crying uncontrollably and said "and I don't know what to do anymore, help me Naya".
Naya didn't think twice and ran to Heather and kissed her like she had never kissed anyone before. Heather was caught off guard and the only thing she could do was reciprocate the kiss and pull Naya closer to her as if, if she let her go she was going to lose her forever. They tugged at each other's clothes as tears still rolled down on their cheeks.
They had never kissed that passionately and when they finally broke apart for air, Heather cupped Naya's face with her hands and said "I love you Naya".
Naya smiled and said "I love you too Heather" and kissed her again as passionately as before. They kissed as if they were running out of time and the only thing that mattered was them and them alone.
Things started to heat up when Naya wrapped her legs around Heather's waist and she carried her upstairs to Naya's bedroom. The brunette lay down on the bed and extended her arms to Heather inviting her to come closer. Heather took off her jacket and shoes as Naya did the same. Hemo kneeled beside her and kissed her again while Naya ran her fingers through her golden hair, her best friend started to unbutton her shirt all the way to the hem and taking it off leaving her only with her bra on. Naya stood up on the bed and lifted Heather's shirt off while she unbuttoned her jeans. The brunette rolled them down and did the same with Heather's leggings while they kissed passionately. When Naya was just in her underwear, Heather admired her beauty, her hair all messed up as she opened her eyes and smiled at her best friend. At the same time, both of them thought that they were so lucky to be in love with each other. Heather realized at that moment that she had not told Naya what she had come there for.
"Baby, I forgot to tell you something, and you'll probably kill me for not telling it to you before" said Heather seriously.
Naya worried, released her hands from Hemo's neck and listened.
"After Taylor said all those things to me I realized that I was madly in love with you and finally figured out why I had been so miserable lately, and this was because I was not with you and with you alone. So I broke up with him".
Naya could not believe what Heather was saying to her, this meant that finally nothing was in between them and they could be together for good.
"Oh my god Hemo, are you kidding me? Why didn't you tell me this before?" Naya asked laughing.
"I guess I was afraid of what could happen and just wanted to avoid getting you hurt again. And I was about to but we got carried away." Hemo said with a childish smile in her face.
"I can't believe you", Naya said with a smile. "Wait, does this mean that we can finally be together, for good?" Naya asked.
To which Heather responded, "I guess so, yes!" kissing Naya excitedly and making them fall on the bed again.
Naya suddenly said with a smile forming in her face, "Make love to me".
A chill ran through Heather's spine and kissed her back as passionately as ever. Naya wrapped her arms around Hemo's body and ran her hands along her sides, urging Heather to touch her in the way she knew she loved.
They had had sex once before, and although there were feelings involved, it had been more a physical act than an emotional one and it was why this time was so special. They made love until they fell asleep in each other's arms. They fell asleep with the curtains open so that the moon and the stars were proof of every touch, of every kiss that they shared and of the love that each one of them had for the other.
