Hey all Sorry it's been awhile. I've had some work drama but now it's has ended. So I hope to put out a few chapters throughout Christmas. I'm going to doing a little more of fluff lately but I'll make sure to throw in little bits of friction. I hope you all enjoy and have a great Christmas if you celebrate.

Chapter 6

After the long ride on the bus all day omitting time off to eat and shop the girls are attempting to all to go to sleep to be ready for their opening show in Seattle. Amber and Jenna have long since gone to bed in their bunks. Lea and Heather are talking on the couch while Dianna is talking with her boyfriend on her cell phone in the common area.

"Lea tell me again why Ryan decided to have us do this long ride before our first show?" Heather says as she pats down her bed for the night.

"I think he said they wanted us to have as much togetherness as we can this tour."

Heather laughs, "Togetherness just what I need with my super awkwardness with Naya and no bed of course as well."

"You can sleep with me you know." Dianna says looking at Heather.

"Thanks but you kick, I can't afford getting hurt. The couch is fine for one night."

The girls laugh and Dianna remembers she is talking with her boyfriend and that didn't sound good.

"I was talking with Heather honey. She has no bed…No they haven't gotten back together yet."

Heather rolls her eyes at Dianna's comment. Lea smacks Heather's leg.

"And that is why I'm not offering you to sleep with me because that would enabling you and what you are doing."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Heather says.

"Figure it out. I don't think you are making the right decsion you know you want to be with her." Lea remarks.

Heather not wanting to continue with this subject stands up and walks towards the bathroom and turns the knob opening the door. She sees Naya putting her glasses on and taking a pill from a prescription bottle.

"Oh I'm sorry. I forgot you were in here." Heather lies.

Naya grabs her toothbrush and sticks it in her mouth. "Its fine you go."

"You are you still having a hard time sleeping?"

Naya looks at her prescription and nods.

"Yeah my insomnia has been doing a number on me."

The two women pass each other Heather pushes her body up against the wall of the doorframe avoiding Naya as best she can in the close quarters. Heather goes in the bathroom to get ready for bed. Naya grabs Heather's blanket and pillow off their bed she then takes an extra sheet from a closet and makes up a bed for her on the couch. Dianna watches as she gets off the phone.

"You are too sweet Naya." Dianna smiles.

Lea smirks at Naya, "Too nice I think personally."

Naya finishes brushing her teeth. "What can I say I still love her?"

Lea bites her tongue with frustration the two are still apart. Dianna puts her arm around Naya as they walk back to the bunks. Dianna climbs in her bunk. Lea follows and goes to bed too.

"Night guys." Naya says to Lea and Dianna.

Naya smiles, then climbs in her bunk and waits for Heather to come out of the bathroom. Moments later Heather comes out of the bathroom and walks toward the common area seeing the couch Naya made up for her. She lies on the couch and Naya comes out in the room.

"I'm sure they will have another mattress for you by tomorrow."

Heather nods.

"Yeah, thanks for making the bed for me."

Naya nods and starts walking out of the room. Heather attempts to get comfortable in the hard fake couch bed. Naya reaches to turn the light off.

"Night. I…" Heather then hesitates.

Naya stops in her tracks and turns the light on and looks at Heather.

"I what?" Naya knows damn well what she almost let slip out. She was overcome by the pure anxiety and anticipation of what she has been yearning to hear across Heather's lips for what seems like a million years.

Heather shakes her head in pure fear. "I was just going to say I miss you. Lame?"

Naya laughs knowing that is a line of shit. She looks at Heather and shakes her head. "Not lame."

Naya turns the light off again and starts to walk towards the bunks and blurts out, "Heather, I love you too by the way."

Heather says nothing back and curls up on the couch. A couple hours later Heather turns over on the couch and falls off. She looks at the clock and it's a little after 4:00 a.m. She turns the lamp on next to her and looks at her crappy bed and stands their thinking. She takes a deep breath and walks slowly and quietly towards the bunks. She stands in front of Naya's.

"Fuck it Heather." She says softly and opens the curtain. She sees a dead to the world Naya and climbs in.

She nudges at Naya to wake her up so she doesn't assume she is trying to come on to her. She wants to relay that she is just there for only the bed.

"Naya." No movement. She shakes her.

"Hmmm? What?" Naya says with exhaustion.

"Naya are you awake?"

Naya turns around opening her eyes barely at Heather not realizing what is going on.

"No! Heather goes to sleep."

Naya has no idea what is going on. She turns against the wall her back to Heather. Heather thought for sure she would get some response in her bed. But then she remembers how Naya is when she takes one of her sleeping pills. Heather now completely awake starts taking to Naya taking advantage of her not being able to talk back.

"I broke up with you because I didn't think you wanted a future with me you know that honey. I was so scared to choose you and what happens if you left me? I'd have no one. I mean you have never been in serious relationship before me. Did you really think we would get married, have 1.2 kids and live happily after? I guess it was partially my fault I should have shown you that's what I wanted. Please take me back. I'm so sorry; I'm so in love with you."

Naya moves and Heather touches her back.

"Oh my god did you hear all of that? Naya?"

Naya says nothing the curtain opens and Lea is standing their looking at Heather.

"I did." Lea says, "Heather you have to tell Naya. Or I am."

Heather shakes her head with fear at Lea.

"Lea, no please don't I just had to get all of that out. Please let this be. It's over between us."

Lea gets upset and starts to talk louder.

"No Heather I will not!"

Amber opens her bunk curtain and looks out at them.

"What is going on you guys?"

Amber sees Heather in Naya's bunk and Lea pissed at her.

They say nothing just look at Amber. Amber smiles that Heather is in Naya's bed.

"Lea unless Heather did something wrong leave her alone. She has finally done the right thing and went back where she is supposed to be."

Lea huffs and puffs, "Amber no, you don't understand.."

Amber sits up curious and nosey maybe there is more to this.

"What don't I understand? What is going on?" Amber asks.

Heather looks at Lea pleading with her eyes. Lea rolls her eyes at Heather.

"Oh nothing lets to back to bed." Lea gives in frustration.

Heather mouths thank you to Lea and the girls go back to bed.

-7:00 am. Heather wakes up spooning with Naya. She removes her arm slowly and sneaks her way out without wanting to wake Naya. She gets out of bed successfully without Naya waking up and goes back on the couch. Lea hears Heather moving around and gets out of bunk and confronts her once again.

"I decided if you aren't going to tell Naya and won't let me tell her I am not talking to you. This is shit Heather. She wants all those things you said. You can't do this to her anymore."

Heather becomes frustrated she does not want to be pressured.

"Lea back off this is not your business it's between Naya and me."

"No I'm not going to be back off if I left up to you, you would be dating men and you and Naya would be completely miserable. I care about you two I can't let you guys be like this. We are a family."

Amber and Jenna wake up from the commotion and walk out to see what is going on. The start to walk out to the main room Dianna and Naya open their curtains but just listen. Naya grabs her glasses and starts to get up. They walk out and Amber instantly rolls her eyes at the two because they are still going at it.

"Okay seriously you guys what is going on!" She says loudly. She is becoming frustrated Amber may like gossip but hates drama. The girls all stand in silence.

Heather looks at everyone as they look at her for the answers.

"Heather tell them! Come on say something!"

Heather takes her hands and covers her face holding back tears. Naya and Dianna finally come out and see Heather near tears and Lea up in her face.

"Lea what the fuck! Leave her alone."

Lea laughs knowing the truth. Heather runs past the girls and into the bathroom. She slams the door behind her.

"Lea what is going on?" Naya says as she looks at Lea. Lea sits down on the couch. All the girls look at Lea waiting for an explanation.

"Ask Heather." Lea says in exhaustion.

The girls all go up the bathroom door concerned for Heather. Dianna knocks on the door.

"Heather are you okay? What is going on?" Heather says nothing.

"Come on Hemo." Jenna pleads. "We don't want to start our tour out like this."

Heather is standing in front of the mirror looking at herself. She looks at all the pictures of the cast from the tours and smiles. She knows they are all trying to help. She opens the door and sees them all standing in front of her. Lea is in background watching on.

"Lea caught me last night talking to Naya in her bed."

Naya looks confused at Heather. "Excuse me? I knew I shouldn't have taken that sleeping pill."

Heather pauses. Lea looks up at Heather.

"Keep going Heather."

Heather looks at Naya. "Naya did you want to live happily ever after with me?"

Tears instantly swell in Heather's eyes she then looks down in her embarrassment. Naya takes her hands that are crossed at her waist. Everyone watches in mouth dropping awe.

"Yes, baby that's all I ever wanted. You had to have known what I wanted." Naya lifts Heather chin to force her to look at her.

"Then why didn't you ever ask me to marry you? I just wanted you to so then I would have enough strength to stand up to my family."

Naya wipes away Heather's tears. "I didn't ask you because I didn't think you would say yes. I never thought you took what we had seriously because you hid it from everyone."

Naya and Heather laugh softly, realizes they both felt the same way. Both scared they would hurt each other but both completely in love with one another.

Lea takes a sigh of relief. "Hallelujah!"

The other girls hoot and holler. Dianna laughs.

"You guys are stupid, you two have totally ruined my last week with your drama and this is how it ends? Really! I'm going back to bed."

Heather and Naya laugh again. Naya leans up to Heather cupping her hands around her face. She kisses her passionately. Heather moans softly.

"Are you sure this is what you want baby?" Naya says.

Heather smiles, "Yes, I can't live without you honey, I tried and I don't work without you. It hurts to even breathe without you in my life."

Naya smiles walking Heather into her bunk, they lay down. Naya kisses Heather again she runs her hand down Heather's stomach not being able to resist her much longer.

"Does this mean you aren't going to get your mattress back?" Naya asks.

Heather laughs. "Yea I suppose so, but that means you are stuck bunking with me all summer."

Heather kisses Naya.

"I wouldn't want it any other way Heather."

Well? Thanks again for reading!
