Heather woke up the next morning with a pounding in her head. As she started to regain her senses she noticed how comfortable she was. Sitting up slowly she looked around the room and realized it wasn't her and the four poster bed she was laying in definitely wasn't hers either. She had to admit that it was probably the most comfortable bed she had slept in in years, it was possible even more comfortable than Naya's old bed. That's when it hit her, she was lying or rather sitting in Naya Rivera's bed. Thoughts of last night coming back to her. Looking at the side table she noticed two advil and a bottle of water. Smiling she reached for both as she watched Maurice jump onto the bed, tail wagging. After taking the medication that was left for her she started to pet the dog that seemed to love her. "You're pretty cute ya know?" The dog licked her face. "Almost as cute as your mom but don't tell her I said that, and I guess you're dad is pretty cute too."

As Maurice laid down on her legs she couldn't help but realize how comfortable she felt being in Naya's bed and in a room that she had never seen before. She chalked it up to Naya's inviting and warm sense of home décor. "Might as well face your mom." Heather said to the dog as she pushed the covers back and realized that she wasn't in her attire from the night before. As more of last nights details started to flood her memory she looked beside her and let out a relief sigh when the bed was made and not slept in. "She must have gotten up after I fell asleep." Stretching her legs out she turned and got out of bed. As she walked out of the double doors she noticed how big the house was and how it didn't look like it would be from outside. She walked down the stairs, Maurice right next to her as she let her sense of smell lead her towards the kitchen. Walking down the hall she noticed the pictures on the wall, pictures of Naya's family, pictures of her and James, pictures of the glee cast. Looking into the kitchen she couldn't help but smile as her heart sped up and butterflies consumed her stomach. She leaned against the door frame as she watched Naya dance around while she sang to Mariah Carey's, Always be my baby and cooked. Chocolate Chip pancakes.

She watched as the girl stretched to get something out of the cupboard and her eyes wandered down the girls body. She was wearing a long sleeve shirt and a pair of boy short boxers. The girl crept up a little exposing her hips and her toned stomach. "Need some help with that?"

Naya looked over startled as she regained her balance after being on her tippy toes. "Shit sorry, I forgot you were here. How are you feeling?" She backed away from the cupboard signaling for Heather to reach up and grab the bowl the shorter girl had been reaching for.

"How are you feeling?" Naya asked with a concern look as she continued to make the rest of the pancakes. "Cause you look like shit."

Heather laughed. "Thanks Naya how nice of you. I feel like pretty much like I look. How are you not curled up in bed right now. You can never out drink me."

"Never say never, lets say I didn't party as hard as you did last night and lots of water, girl has to be in good shape." Finished the pancakes Naya handed a plate to Heather and told help herself.

"Thanks for last night, I definitely drank more than I should have."

"No problem, you cleaned me up enough so consider it payment." Heather nodded as she started to eat.

"Mmm." She said mumbled as she continued to eat. She had definitely forgotten how good of a cook Naya was and it was something she had missed since the day the girl left. One thing that Taylor couldn't do was cook, no matter how hard he tried. "Thanks for the clothes too."

Naya smiled as she too ate her pancakes. "I have enough to go around."

"So when we do we get to hear the next Naya Rivera album? Because you sounded great just now, and last night."

Heather's comment made Naya blush slightly. "Eventually, I don't know genius hasn't struck me in awhile, it's a work in progress though." Heather laid her head down on the table, still tired from the nights events.

"Can't party like I used to." She mumbled causing Naya to laugh before bringing over a plate of food.

"Here eat up, and its because we're getting old that we can't party like we used too."

"I don't know you seem to be completely fine." Heather sat up and took a bite of her breakfast. "This is amazing." Heather had definitely missed Naya's cooking but she wasn't quite sure how to tell her that so she left it at amazing.

Naya smiled with a slight blush. "Thanks, lots of practice when you're boyfriend is a giant and can eat like one. What are your plans for the day?"

Heather thought for a few seconds as she continued to eat her pancakes. "I need to get some work done so I might do that and go to the studio. You?"

"I am going to enjoy my day off and clean this place up a little. Take Momo for a walk around the park, be as normal as I can."

A half hour later both woman were standing at the front door, Heather with her coat and shoes on. "Thanks again for taking care of me last night, I probably shouldn't have had that much to drink and sorry about the cuddling."

Naya laughed in only the way she could that made Heather feel completely at ease even when she was nervous. "It's fine really. Like I said you've taken care of me enough times and as for the cuddling you only cuddled with Maurice. I waited until you fell asleep, which was right away, then I went and slept in the guest room so nothing to apologize for. Besides nothing wrong with a little cuddling between old friends."

Nodding they said their goodbyes before Heather pet Maurice one last time before heading down the steps with a wave. Looking back over her shoulder she couldn't help but notice how gorgeous Naya was, no make up on and in sweats leaning against the door with Maurice by her side. Turning back around her heart felt like it was going to beat out of her chest and even catching that last glimpse of the girl had left butterflies in her stomach.

"Where the hell have you been!" Heather jumped as she walked into her apartment to find Ashley sitting on her couch with Zach on her lap.

"Not so loud, headache and I was at Naya's."

Ashley's eyes lit up. "Really?"

"Not like that perv, what the hell are you even doing here?" She jumped onto her friends lap and gave her a hug.

"For your birthday loser, can't stay long but I figured a short visit for the weekend wouldn't hurt. I was supposed to get in last night but the flight was over booked, stupid airlines." Heather sat down next to her best friend and filled her in on the previous nights events. "You realize you're still wearing her clothes right? Which is a plus for me because you smell better than you normally would."

"Shut up and I didn't even realize it."

Ashley grinned. "At least it gives you a reason to go back over there."

"Nothing is going to happen, she has so moved on from me that it isn't even funny and I don't blame her."

"Have you told her yet?" Heather shook her head as she laid it down on Ashley's lap. "How about you rest now and we'll shop later."

One Week Later

Heather sat in the back corner of the coffee shop near the window typing away at her lap top when she felt someone tap her shoulder.

"Hi stranger." She heard the sweet voice say as the woman sat down across from her. "Working hard or hardly working?" The girl questioned.

Heather looked up with a smile on her face. "Hey Di, what brings you here?" The other blonde held up her coffee. "Nice, and its more like trying to work hard but it's not working."

"What it is you're working on?" Dianna tried without thinking she was going to get too much out of it.

"Why do all of you care so much?" Heather asked as she closed her lap top.

Dianna shrugged. "Probably because you won't tell any of us and you saying it's choreography is a big fat lie."

"I'm working on a script, for a movie."

"That's awesome! Why wouldn't you tell anyone about that?"

"It's something that I'm taking really seriously, you know how much I love the behind the scenes stuff and I just want this to be perfect."

Dianna took a sip of her coffee. "That's great, I'm sure it'll be perfect."

"Do you think you would want to take a look at it, let me know what you think?"

The woman's eyes opened wide, not expecting to be asked to do that. "I'd love to but are you sure?"

Heather nodded. "Absolutely." She turned her lap top around and for the next hour Dianna read as Heather nervously drank her coffee.

"This is amazing but do you want my honest opinion?" Once again Heather nodded. "I think the person that would help you the most with this is Naya. She's a great writer and I think she'd see this vision almost as clear as you."

"You think?"

"I do but that's just my opinion and I'd be more than happy to read it whenever you want me to."

Heather leaned back in her chair as Dianna pushed her lap top back towards her. "I'm just not really ready to show anyone yet you know?"

Dianna nodded in understanding. "Take your time and like I said I'm here for whatever you need. I know once things happened with you and Naya you stopped coming to me but just know that you always can even though I'm the one that broke the news to you all those years ago.

5 Years Ago

"She said it was going to be two weeks, no big deal just two weeks! It's been a month now" Heather held her head in her hands as she sat on Dianna's couch.

"I know sweetie, but some things came up, opportunities."

Heather looked up, somewhat more determined. "She's got to come back and get her stuff right? I'll talk to her then and apologize."

Dianna closed her eyes and she lightly rubbed her friends back trying to think of a way to let the girl down easier. "She came back last week to grab a few things, she's going to be staying with Lea for awhile."

"How could she not call and tell me?" Tears welled up in her eyes as her stomach began to feel like one big knot and it was like all the air had been sucked out the room making it impossible for her to breathe.

"I think right now she feels like you don't care, that you never really cared."

"How could she think that, I have always been here for her."

Dianna nodded. "I know but right now she's hurt, she'll get past it. Come on how long do you think Naya our resident valley girl can last in New York?" This seemed to help Heather calm down some but in the back of her mind Dianna knew that Naya wasn't coming home anytime soon, regardless of what the girl had told her.

Present

Dianna stood up and pushed her chair in. "Just remember that the truth always comes out eventually. See ya later Hemo." With that the girl walked away leaving Heather to think about what and why she had just said what she did.

Later that night

"Does she realize that's what it's about?" Lea asked excitedly on the other end of the line.

Dianna shook her head even though she knew the other girl couldn't see her. "I don't think so, but it's so sweet, it's going to be the perfect romantic comedy."

"The universe is definitely in on our little plan to get those to back in each others lives." Lea said with a large grin on her face.

Two Weeks Later

Naya walked into the cafe and ordered her usual. It was three am and instead of being in bed she was on her way home from work. Normally most people wouldn't think to get a coffee when they had to be up in mere hours but Naya figured there wasn't much point in getting a two hour nap in so she decided that staying up would be her best option. As she was on her way out blonde hair caught her eye and sure enough Heather was sitting by the window typing away on her lap top.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping party animal?"

Heather smiled as soon as she heard the other girls voice. "Shouldn't you?"

"Yes, yes I should but work ran late and there isn't much point in sleeping when I need to be up a couple hours. You know what I'm like when I don't get the right amount of sleep."

"That I do. Enjoying the warmer weather?"

Naya shrugged. "Yeah I guess but I wasn't ready for winter to be over, the city is just so beautiful after a snow fall. You?"

"I couldn't wait for the snow to melt but it was beautiful while it lasted."

Looking down at her watch Naya yawned despite the coffee in her hand. "I should head home and shower, I was going to take a cab but do you want to walk with me instead?"

Heather looked at her lap top before closing it. "Yeah, that'd be great. I'm sure Zach is wondering where I am, who knows what type of wild parties he's throwing." Naya let our a hardy laugh and Heather couldn't help but notice how beautiful she was when she laughed.

"He better not be unless he's inviting me." She said as she stood up and waited for Heather.

For the next two weeks every time Naya walked into the small café she noticed Heather was there or vise versa. They always sat together, whether it was early in the morning or late at night. Sometimes they spoke, sometimes they didn't. Sometimes they laughed and sometimes they were so enthralled in their work that they barely acknowledged the other. The one thing that was certain was that they never planned it, neither ever picked up the phone and asked if the other was going to be there, it was complete chance.

It was getting towards the end of March when they found themselves bumping into each other in the park and not the café. Naya was walking Maurice when she caught Heather running through the park. "Hey you." Naya smiled as Heather took out her ear buds.

"Hey yourself, hey Maurice." She said as she leaned down to pet the dog.

"How are you?"

Heather smiled as she took a few deep breaths. "Good, just getting in some daily exercise you?"

"Really good, enjoying some fresh air with my favourite guy, did you want to walk with us?"

"Yeah, I'd like that."

An hour later they were standing on the grass as Heather threw Maurice's ball. "So what are you plans for Easter?"

Naya shrugged. "Nothing special, probably stay around here, enjoy the small break from work, how about you?"

"Heading home to Arizona, spend some time with the family. If you're not doing anything you're welcome to come with me."

Before Naya could answer she felt strong arms wrap around her waist as she was picked up. She laughed as she was placed back down on the ground leaving Heather quiet with a small smile on her face.

"Hi Heather, how's it going?"

"Hey, good how are you?"

James smiled as Maurice ran right to him instead of Heather. "I'm great, glad to be done with work for the day. What were you two gossiping about?"

"We weren't gossiping." Naya nudged him with a smile. "Heather just invited me to spend Easter with her family." Naya's honesty took Heather slightly off guard, she wasn't expecting Naya to bring the subject up again.

"That'd be pretty cool. You're from Arizona right?"

Heather nodded. "Yeah."

"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Naya laughed.

"No but since your family is all over the place with Mychal playing and Nickayla working it might be nice for you to spend some time relaxing."

"Take it you're working too?" Heather asked politely causing James to nod.

"Yeah I'm starting a movie that weekend, bad timing because when I get home I know there won't be any candy left." He pouted before laughing.

"I wouldn't want to impose and I can't leave Maurice here by himself."

"You wouldn't be imposing, I asked you remember?" Heather stated as she began to stretch her legs out.

James smiled and nodded. "See, besides you can leave Maurice with Lea since she'll be in town working."

"Oh hells no he'll come back singing show tunes." He laughed shaking his head.

"What do you say Nay, mom would love to see you."
