Chapter 14

The day had come. Today the girls would need to say their goodbyes. Naya wasn't yet ready to let the girl leave her world. Well certainly not her bed for the time being. Naya raised her body slightly so she could hover over the girl that lay in her arms. With the tip of her finger she stroked Demi's soft cheeks and outlined her lips. It was everything about the girl that made her perfect. When she was just a far off Demi Lovato to her Naya still admired her stage presence, her victories over emotional problems, her killer voice, and yeah…she appreciated the girl's more physical assets too. Now that the mirage that was Demi was combined with her D, well there was just that much more to love about the girl.

Demi's eyes fluttered open, reacting to Naya's slight touch. When her vision settled on Naya's face her smile came naturally, as it did these days. She was unsure as to how a girl liked Naya managed to remain single but she would have to thank God that she was for when Demi had shown up. She'd have been insanely jealous if she met the girl and was forced to watch someone else hold her, touch her, kiss her. That was Demi's job. She leaned towards Naya's lips, pausing just before they touched. Naya giggled, knowing that Demi had come to like Naya making the moves. She wouldn't hesitate. Naya quickly closed the gap and took no time at all to deepen the kiss. If she wasn't going to be able to do this for some time she was going to make the most of it. Her tongue fought Demi's for dominance and won. Demi's sweet moans were making Naya crumble from the inside out.

"Just when we're getting really good at this you have to go and leave me", Naya said, joking about the kissing (that had always been great) but the sentiments on D's impending departure were real.

"I know babe. I'm sorry. We should probably get up though, I have to be at the airport soon."

"Well if we have to be quick then maybe we could share a shower?" Naya asked eyebrow raised.

Demi didn't respond with words, instead squirming out from underneath Naya before taking the girl's hand and leading her urgently to the bathroom. There was always time for that…

Pulling out Demi's luggage from the back of her car was like driving knives into Naya's heart. She'd parked in the short-term lot so she could go in with Demi; she wasn't about to miss one second she could have with her. Doubtful about the possibility of paparazzi showing up at this early hour of the morning Naya slipped her hand into Demi's and immediately intertwined their fingers. Demi looked up at the girl, kissed her cheek, and rested her head on the taller girl's shoulder. After a moment of silence she reached for the luggage and the two walked in unison towards the terminal.

They had reached security. This was the point where Demi would have to go on alone. The girls moved to the side so that other passengers could continue while they said their goodbyes.

"I really don't want you to go."

"I don't want to go. I don't want to leave you. Before you Naya I thought I had it all. I thought I was satisfied with my life. I have money, I have a career I love, I have a lot more than most. Now I know all of that isn't even comparable to one second with you. Even though we didn't have nearly enough time together I'm SO glad I came. I had no idea what I was missing out on before I met you. You're amazing Naya." Demi's tears were starting to cascade down her face. "Don't you ever forget how great you are and how much you mean to me."

"I won't get over you ya know?" Naya said wiping tears from Demi's face only for her own to start falling. "You're the best thing to happen to me. That night back at the bar, well I never imagined that rotten night could turn into this. You've given me back the hope I'd lost, in life and in myself."

"You deserve to have all the hope in the world pretty girl."

Both girls knew this could continue all day. They had millions of sentiments and appreciation to shower the other with but they didn't have the time. Demi reacher her hands behind Naya's neck and pulled it down towards her until their lips met in perfect unison. Air was becoming an issue but Demi didn't want the kiss to end. Naya was heaven to her and this kiss was making her knees weak. Everything was being said through it, how much they liked one another, how much they'd miss the other.

"I have to go", Demi said, her voiced filled with so much regret.

"Have a safe flight", was all Naya could think to say to the beauty as Demi's hand fell from her grasp and she glided through metal detectors and the like.

Naya went and stood by the glass. She knew she should go home but she couldn't, her feet were glued to the floor as she watched the girl vanish into the crowd. Demi turned at the last moment, igniting Naya's heart. Demi blew her one last kiss, pouted her lips in her adorable way, and disappeared from sight.
