A/N: Hi, The song "Just You 'n Me" is really a Chicago song. When I first heard it I immediately thought of using it in this story.
Also "Bridal Rings" is an actual store on Hill Street in Los Angeles. The description of the ring comes from a picture of the ring on their website. The pricing for the ring and engraving is probably not real as they didn't advertise those prices on their website. Frank, the salesman, is fictional.
I hope you enjoy it.
Next chapter will definitely be the Diane Sawyer interview and the wedding.
Always Me & You
Chapter 14
The next morning they got up and went to work together. They were listening to some classic rock station on the radio when they heard this song being played.
you are my love and my life,
you are my inspiration.
just you and me.
simple and free.
baby your everything, i ever dreamed of.
Naya liked it so she turned it up.
yea, yea.
give me your own special smile,
promise you'll never leave me.
just you and me.
simple and free.
life is so easy, when your beside me.
oh girl.
"Wow!" Heather exclaimed listening to the rest of the lyrics, as she danced in her seat.
"I know, right?" Naya agreed as they listened for the chorus again.
you are my love and my life, you are my inspiration.
just you and me.
simple and free.
baby your everything, I've ever dreamed of.
yea, yea
"Hey, Nay!"
"Hmm," said Naya as she bobbed her head and really got into the song.
"I think we found our song?"
"Yea…but did you catch the artist?"
"They'll say it at the end."
The song ended and they went to commercial.
"Nooooo!" They both yelled.
Naya laughed.
"That stinks. But you like it?" asked Naya.
"Yea, I love it. I can totally see us dancing to that song as our song!"
"Me too! I'll Google it when we get to work. Also I'm gonna check my e-mail to see if Alan sent us the domestic partnership papers like he said he would yesterday," noted Naya.
The rest of the trip was made as they hummed to the melody of the song they just heard.
Once they got to their separate trailers Naya sat down and grabbed her laptop. She went to Google and typed in "Just You 'n Me". Immediately YouTube popped up as one of the clickable choices. She hit on it and was taken to that site. She turned up the volume on the laptop and pressed play on a version of the song that showed the lyrics.
"You are my love and my life… you are my inspiration…" Naya sang. She hummed the rest of the song. She found a piece of paper and wrote down, "Chicago - Just You 'n Me".
Then she checked her e-mail and discovered that Katz had e-mailed her the paperwork.
Darn, I wish I had a printer. Can I use Sue's office to print from? Are they filming in there? Yeah.
She got up from her chair and opened the door. Naya found a small group people interrupted their conversation for a second and asked, "Does anyone have a printer that I could print something on?"
"Um, I do," Dot replied behind Naya.
Naya spun around and said, "Oh, Dot, you scared me. You do? May I use it?"
"Of course! Follow me."
"Thanks, you're a lifesaver."
Naya and Dot walked to Dot's trailer and when they were inside she said, "My laptop and printer are over there."
"Thank you so much."
"How's the planning going?"
"Pretty good, we've gotten a lot accomplished. Still have more to do, but we'll do it together…Hey, we picked a song today!"
"Oh yea, what one?"
"'Just You 'n Me' by Chicago."
"I never pegged you two to be Chicago fans. A little before your time, you know?"
"Yes, they are. We were driving to work and that song came on…kinda like we were meant to hear it!"
"Like you're meant to be together!" Dot smiled.
"Yes, exactly!"
Naya had found the e-mail and printed out two copies which were only a page each. This surprised Naya and she said, "Wow! Interesting."
"What's that?"
"I just thought that domestic partnership paperwork would entail more information."
"Oh, is that what it is?"
"Yea, I hope you don't mind. I gotta get a printer for my laptop…"
"No worries. Happy to help. I just don't have a folder or anything. Sorry."
"No problem. I appreciate this."
"Think nothing of it. You have everything? I'd keep the e-mail though."
"Yup, I did. Thank you. I'll see you later!"
"Yup. Talk to you later!"
"Thanks, Dot. I truly appreciate it."
"Happy to able to do it."
"Bye!"
Naya folded the pieces of paper in half and walked back to her trailer to put them in her purse before she forgot.
"Ok, I have scene with Amber today. I gotta go get my costume and meet her on the set," Naya said to herself.
From her trailer, she walked over to the costume department and got Santana's regular outfit and put it on in their small changing room. Just like that Naya disappeared and Santana appeared. Naya always admired her alter ego who seemed like she could rule the world and not take any crap from anyone. Naya was not that self-assured. Being with Heather helped her confidence a lot because she felt the love that Heather was giving to her. Naya had never experienced that with her other relationships and that's how she knew that this one was going to last for the rest of her life.
Naya slowly walked to the set and remembered what her life was before she met Heather. She remembered that she felt so alone in the world despite having people in it. She remembered that she cried herself to sleep on countless nights. That all changed when her dancing beauty walked into her life. Heather gave Naya happiness and love. She remembered the first time that they hung out. It was just at a local diner but they connected on such a higher level. She's had friends all throughout her life, but no one held a candle to Heather. And now she knew why. It was true love for her.
"She has my heart," she said a loud. By that time, she had reached the set. She dried the tears that fallen along the way as she thought about her princess, the one person who made her feel complete. She took a big breathe and as she opened the door Santana took over.
She always enjoyed working with Amber. They made each other laugh. After that scene was over it was time for lunch. She hugged Amber and whispered in her ear, "Gonna go find my heart."
"Tell her I said, 'hi'!"
"Will do."
Walking away from the set, Naya remembered that she hadn't seen Lauren yet so she looked for her. Naya found her with Jane. Before she entered the room, she noticed that Lauren was crying. Jane looked up and saw Naya's concerned face.
Jane excused herself and went to talk to Naya.
"Um, not a good time now, Nay."
"Ok, just tell me she's okay…Jane…"
"She'll be okay."
"Oh, um, please tell her I was looking for her. I wanted to make sure everything was okay from last night."
"Ok, I will."
Naya looked at Lauren's figure as she there hunched in a chair with her head down, wiping a tear away with a tissue.
Jane watched as Naya walked away. She knew that Naya was totally confused.
Naya's head was down. At that time, Heather walked around the corner and they collided.
"Whoa! Naya?"
"Ow," looking up now, Naya said, "Hey, baby…"
"You okay?"
"I guess…"
"What's wrong?" Heather led her to small corner of the hallway.
"I went to find Lauren and found her over there," Naya pointed to Jane's set, "crying…"
"Oh my…do you know why?"
"Jane said it wasn't a good time."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"I realized that I hate to see two people cry now: you and her. It makes me feel helpless."
Heather pulled her into a hug. "I'm sorry."
"I know."
"Whatever's going on, I'm sure it'll be okay. Want to do lunch in my trailer?"
"Sure…" Naya was guided by Heather away from that situation.
Once outside she tried to put what had just happened in the back of her mind.
"Oh, I got the domestic partnership paperwork today. Dot let me use her printer."
"Oh cool! Wanna get them and go to my trailer?" asked Heather.
"Sure…" Naya said and held Heather's hand. "They are in my purse," she said once they were in the room.
Naya bent down to get the paperwork. She then returned to her standing position, turned around, and was greeted with a kiss from Heather. Naya was taken by surprised, but she loved it. Naya dropped the paperwork and wrapped her arms tightly around Heather.
"Wow! Thank you!" Naya wheezed after the kiss broke. It took a second for her breathing to return to normal.
"Welcome. I wanted to do that since we went our separate ways this morning. Do you feel a little better?"
"A little. I'm upset cuz my friend is."
"I totally get it. If you don't get the chance to talk to her before she leaves, call her later."
"Ok. I think I will. Now we gotta talk about our wedding!" Naya picked up the paperwork and grabbed a pen. 'You need a pen?"
"I have one in my trailer! Ok, ready?"
"Ready!"
"Super. Let's go!" Heather opened the door and held it open for Naya who exited with a smile.
They walked to the other trailer and once inside they sat down and with pen in hand they started to fill out the form together. They made sure everything was perfect. Since Naya had made two copies, Heather told her what to write down on one form. After that was finished, Heather sat next to Naya on the couch and held her hand. Naya's other hand held up the form victoriously.
"This moment, right here, is life-changing. This is where we truly become a married couple." Naya beamed.
Heather did not have one hesitation nor did she feel the need to question their relationship. All she did was place her head on Naya's shoulder and sigh happily.
"Once it's notarized, it is official. Well, it is now, but you know, officially official! I love you so much."
"I love you more…"
"I don't think that's possible, but okay." Naya said.
Filling out the paperwork gave each of them a new level of energy to get everything done.
"Want to call my Mom and tell her," asked Heather.
"Sure…Call her!"
Heather reached for her phone and dialed her Mom's number.
"Hello."
"Hi, Mom," both Naya and Heather said.
"Hi, girls…How are you?"
"Pretty good. Guess what we just did…"
"Ordered the flowers?"
"Oh, crap…Nay, write that down, um, no, Mom."
"Hmm…Thought about the outfits?"
"Naya…"
"I know baby, I'll write that down."
"Um, no, try again, Mom."
"Called me so I can tell you what you're missing?"
"It would appear so…" Heather said and then laughed.
Jeannie laughed but then asked, "What did you just do?"
"We just filled out our domestic partnership paperwork!" Naya exclaimed.
"Oh wow. How did you get your hands on those?"
"We contacted Great Officiants. Alan Katz will be marrying us. He sent them to Naya's e-mail address. Well, I found him on the Internet and made the initial contact, but Ryan really got the ball rolling for us."
"Oh, how did that meeting go with him?"
"Very well."
"He's happy for us…And he will be writing a storyline that Heather and I want for 'Brittana'!"
"Oh, 'Brittana'?"
"Oh, sorry, Brittany and Santana!"
"Gotcha!"
"And guess who's coming out to California to interview us on Monday?"
"Just tell me!" Jeannie said, excitedly.
"Diane Sawyer!"
"Really? That's awesome, girls. Are you ready for her questions?"
"I think so," Naya said and looked at Heather.
"Yeah we are Mom cuz we have a lot of support behind us!"
"That you do!"
"But the best news is that we have picked 'our song'!"
"Oh, what is it?"
"'Just You 'n Me' by Chicago," said Naya. Heather looked at her and smiled.
"Heather, did you know your Dad loved Chicago when he was younger?"
"No, I didn't…that's cool!"
"Yup!"
"We have to go call my parents!" yelled Naya.
"Tell them I said 'hi'!"
"Ok. Love you, Mom!"
"Hey, she's my Mom, Nay! I love you too!"
"Now I'm both. Bye."
Heather hung up and kissed Naya.
'Ok, your turn!"
Naya dialed her parents' number and Yolanda answered, "Hello?"
"Hi, Mom. Heather's here with me."
"Hi, Nay. Hi, Heather."
"Guess what we just did, Yolanda!"
"First, Heather, please call me Mom. I'm sorry I didn't tell you do that when I saw you."
Naya squeezed Heather's hand in excitement.
"Ok, thanks…"
"Um, you talked Ryan about your marriage?"
"Yeah, did that yesterday, Mom. It went really well."
"Good!"
"He helped us get in touch with Great Officiants and they are going to marry us. Just now we filled out the domestic partnership paperwork. So it's almost official!"
"Wonderful!"
"We also have an interview on Monday with…Diane Sawyer!"
"GEORGE!" Yolanda yelled.
"What?" he asked as he ran over to the phone.
"Naya and Heather have an interview on Monday with Diane Sawyer!"
"Really? That's amazing! I love her show! Oh, if she asks you can tell her that you are getting married in Santa Cruz…on the beach!"
Naya and Heather jumped up and down and yelled in excitement.
"That's amazing…Dad, thank you. Do you need a permit?"
"Yeah, but it was only $50.00!"
"That's cheap," Heather said.
"Who knew?"
"Put that on the running list. I know we haven't told you how much everything costs because we don't know. I promise we'll let you know."
"Ok…Please as soon as possible so I can start paying people and telling Jeannie!"
"We picked out our wedding song today also!"
"Oh, yea, what is it?" asked Yolanda.
"'Just You 'n Me' by Chicago."
"I've heard of that song…it's pretty!"
"We need to go…We love you…And George?"
"You mean Dad, but go ahead…"
"Wow…I haven't called someone Dad in a long time."
"Oh my God, Heather, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to…"
"No, no, it's alright, Dad. Thank you. I think my Dad would be happy with me calling you that!"
"Ok, whatever you are comfortable with is fine by me!"
"Thank you. Love you both," Heather said.
"Yes, I love you too." Naya said.
"Bye." Then they hung up.
"You okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Heather reassured her.
"Good because I have to do something very important!"
Naya ran to the trailer door, swung it open, and announced to whoever was standing around, "May I have your attention please? I am marrying my soul mate, Heather Morris, on July 14th in Santa Cruz on the beach!"
There was a smattering of applause because there weren't many people around.
"Ok, as you were!" Naya said, retreated back inside, and shut the door.
Heather laughed hysterically and then said, "Soul mate?"
"Yes, absolutely. We are meant for each other!"
"Yes, we are! Tonight we'll buy the song on ITunes, burn it onto a CD and then I'll show you how to dance to it?"
"A free dance lesson with the 'all the single ladies' dancer, I'm in!"
"Who said anything 'bout a free lesson," Heather asked and raised her eyebrow.
"Geez, you are a horny teenage boy!"
"Guilty!"
Naya laughed.
"Oh, we gotta put cake on the list."
"Unless Alan has talked to the hotel and the food is taken care of with the restaurant."
"Good point…we should find that out first," Naya said.
"I'll call him tomorrow if we don't hear from him. I want to make an appointment to hand deliver this form and get it notarized. We have to present for that." Heather said.
"Yea, that's right!" Naya said.
"It feels like we're missing something very important…" Just then Heather looked down at her engagement ring and the missing item came to her.
"Shit, Naya!"
"What?"
"The wedding bands!"
"Wow. Good thought. Do you have to shoot anything else today?"
"No, I think I'm done! You?"
"I need to check. If I don't have to we can go to a jewelry shop today. Good idea?" Naya asked.
"Perfect!"
"Walk with me?"
Heather and Naya walked to the set and asked if either of them had any more to do that day.
"Nope you're both good!"
"If you need us call Naya's cell." Heather instructed.
"Sure!"
"Thanks."
As they walked out of the room, Jane saw them and walked up.
"Hey, Jane."
"Hi, girls…."
"How's Lauren," Naya asked, very concerned.
"She's upset. Apparently you took her home yesterday and you met her parents."
"Yeah, I had a 'conversation' with her Mom," Naya said.
"What's going on," Heather asked.
"Apparently after you left, her Mom told her that she can't stand up for you two."
Naya became both sad and angry at the same time.
"She did?"
"Yup. Now Lauren thinks that you won't want to be her friend. She was really looking forward to doing this for you both."
"Where is she?" Naya asked.
"She went home. She told the director she wasn't feeling well. She called a taxi. I offered to drive her home, but she said, 'no thanks'."
"I'm going to her house…" said Naya, determined to fix this problem.
"Naya, I would wait. She's really upset. I don't think you showing up at her house would help."
"I just want to let her know that there's no hard feelings at all and we will always be friends."
"Nay, I think Jane's right." Heather said.
"When we get home we'll call her and let her know it is okay."
"Um, ok."
"Trust me, it'll be okay."
"Ok, thanks for talking with her Jane."
"I'll work on it." Jane said. "With Lauren's permission, I'll talk to her Dad."
"He seemed like a nice guy. If you are able to talk to him, please tell him that we'll send a car for her…or have one of our friends pick her up."
"Ok, will do!"
"Thanks…We are off now to go wedding band shopping." Heather smiled.
"Oh, good luck."
"Bye!"
They both changed from their costumes back into their street clothes. They collected all of their belongings and grabbed Heather's laptop.
"Hey, Nay...I'm going to keep my laptop at home and you can keep yours here?"
"Good idea."
They walked to their car and got in. They headed to Hill Street in Los Angeles. Once on that street, they noticed the perfect store, "Bridal Rings".
"Hey, Nay, over there …Look!"
"Perfect! We'll make a U-turn."
They turned around at the next corner and went back to the store and parked in the lot.
As they walked in, they were greeted by Frank, a salesman.
"Hello, I'm Frank. How may I help you?"
"Hi, Frank…We are here to look at two wedding bands."
"We really don't know a lot about this so if you could be patient it would help," asked Heather.
"Absolutely."
"Do you know what you might be looking for?"
"Something that compliments this," Naya said as Heather extended her engagement ring.
"Wow. That's a very rare piece."
"Thank you. It was my grandmother's," Naya said, proudly.
"I have a few selections over here if you would follow me?"
"Lead the way, Frank!"
"Ok, in this case I have two choices for you…"
Ring Ring
"Please excuse me for a second."
"Sure…"
"Naya, I'm texting both of our parents now to let them know. We didn't mention this today. Are they going to reimburse us for the rings? I think we should get each other the rings and they can chip in for the wedding? Personal preference…"
"That's great! Let them know that's what we're doing."
"Sorry for the wait…"
"No worries!"
'Now, let me show you what I think would be great with your engagement ring." Frank pulled out a tray of rings. "I think this one would be perfect!"
It was a beautiful fourteen karat yellow gold diamond wedding band.
Naya and Heather's mouths dropped open as they saw that ring. They both decided on that ring, but wanted to see the other choice Frank had in mind.
"I know what one I want…." Naya confirmed after they looked at the other choice.
"Me also." Heather said.
"I think we will go with the first ring you showed us. The gold one."
"How much does that cost?" Heather asked and held her breath.
"$250.00 each."
"Really?" Both ladies were shocked.
"What if we want them engraved?" Naya asked.
"An additional $25.00 total for engraving!"
"Ok," Naya said and looked at Heather.
Heather nodded her head in agreement.
"Can we order two of the same ring with something engraved on each one?"
"Of course. What do you want it to say?"
"'Always me & you'." Naya said.
Frank repeated as he wrote the phrase down. "'Always me & you'. Perfect!"
"May we take a picture of the ring to send to our parents?"
"I have something even better!" Frank handed both women a piece of paper with information about the ring and photo of it.
"That's helpful."
"Do you need to be fitted?" asked Frank.
"I do need that," Naya said.
"I don't think so. Can you just get my measurement from my engagement ring?" Heather asked as she removed the ring from her finger.
"Yes, I can." Frank said and took the ring from Heather.
"It's a size six," Frank said measuring it with a ring measuring tool. He gave it back to Heather who slipped it back on her finger and admired it.
"Give me your finger, Miss?" Frank asked as he was ready to figure out Naya's ring finger size. Naya extended her left hand.
"Is that comfortable?" Frank asked as the plastic circle was on Naya's slender finger. She tossed her hand around to make sure it wouldn't slide off. It stayed there securely.
"Yea, that's great. Thank you."
"No worries. You're a size five ring finger!"
"I did not know that. You learn something knew every day!" Naya said and smiled.
Frank made a notation so the ring sizes would be accurate. "So the grand total for each of you is $275.00."
"Do we need to give you the deposit now or can we pay in full?"
"Whatever you're comfortable with!"
"I think we'll pay in full now. Is there a problem doing two transactions on two credit cards?" Heather asked.
"Not a problem. So you want two of the same rings both engraved with the same phrase, correct?" asked Frank just to make sure.
"Yes."
"No problem. When's the big day?"
"July 14th!"
"Well, I'll call you and you'll get these at the end of this month. May I get your phone number?"
Naya gave him hers.
"Perfect!"
"Thank you so much for your help."
"Here's your receipt. Thank you for shopping with us."
"Thank you!" they both said and exited the store.
Outside they hugged each other and gave each other a quick smooch.
"That was fun! I've never bought a piece of important jewelry for anyone before!" Heather told Naya.
Naya then retrieved the "Things to Do" list out of her pocket and said, "Rings…check!"
"Wanna go home since we didn't get called back to work? We can find 'Just You 'n Me' on ITunes and buy the song!"
"Sure…You owe me a dancing lesson, too!"
"Definitely!"
"Then I need to make a phone call," Naya said.
"I think we should make that call first," Heather suggested.
"I really want to see her, though!"
"You know what…let's go over there."
"Sure?"
"Yeah. I'll drive…" Heather took the keys from Naya. Then Heather realized what she did and she said, "…If it's okay?"
"Sure. Here you go. Do you remember how to get there?"
"You can direct me!"
"Ok, let's go."
They made the trip and Heather remembered how to get there. Once they got there, they saw Jane leaving. They got out of the car and Naya said, "Hey, Jane…we wanted to check on her!"
"She'll be happy to see you. Her Dad is there and he and I talked…Everything's all set!"
"Great! Thank you."
"No worries."
Naya and Heather ran to the Potters' front porch and rang the bell.
"Hi, Mr. Potter." Naya said when Lauren's Dad opened the door.
"Hi, Naya! This must be Heather!"
"Hi," Heather said and extended her hand.
"Come on in…Lauren's upstairs!" Mr. Potter said, and shook her hand.
"Thanks."
Naya and Heather ran up the stairs and found Lauren's room. They knocked.
"Come in," Lauren said, happily.
"What happened today, Young Lady?" Naya asked as she pushed opened the door.
"Nay? Heather?"
"Um yea!"
Lauren smiled the biggest smile Naya had ever seen and got up from her chair and bolted into Naya's opened arms.
"I was upset so I went home."
"I know…I saw you and Jane talking. Everything cool now?"
"Beyond…Jane came to talk with my Dad and he's letting me stand up for you despite my Mom's objection. Jane's driving us down, her partner and me, that Friday."
"I'll have to thank her." Heather said.
"I haven't felt this accepted and this wanted ever in my life!" Lauren exclaimed.
"Well, that's because you are!" Naya answered.
"Hey," Heather suddenly asked, "Who wants Friendly's?"
Naya and Lauren raised their hands in the air.
"Let's go then! I want ice cream!"
"Be back later, Dad." Lauren yelled as she slammed the door to her house.
They got there and piled out of the car, ran into the restaurant, sat down, and ordered.
While they waited for their food, Naya took out the piece of paper which had a picture of the ring on it.
"Look what we got today!" Naya said as handed the paper over to Lauren.
"They are gorgeous!"
"Thanks."
"Are they engraved," Lauren asked.
"Yes, they are," Heather answered, "they will say, 'Always me & you'!"
Just then Heather's cell rang.
"Oh my God, it's Alan."
"Should I leave you alone?" Lauren asked.
"No, you're a part of the wedding…pick it up, baby!"
Heather answered and put it on speaker, "Hello?"
"Hi, Heather, this is Alan Katz….How are you?"
"Great Mr. Katz."
"Alan…"
"Oh, ok. Naya is with me and one of our friends who will be standing up for us is listening also."
"Hi, all."
"Hi, Alan." Naya responded.
"So, good news with the Seaway Inn…they can hold the reception in their restaurant. They have a wedding package that includes food, open bar, cake, DJ. I've also reserved 10 rooms for your guests. Is 10 enough? I can go higher or lower depending on your answer. With the cake, chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla filling? Also you want two plastic brides to sit on the top, right?"
"10 will be good. Do we need pay for the unoccupied rooms? For the cake, chocolate filling is great and, yes, two plastic brides on top of it!"
"No there's no cost for the unused rooms. Your whole party comes and then the hotel reserves the other rooms around that total number. I'll make sure to tell them of the cake decision. Did you receive the domestic partnership paperwork, Naya?"
"Yes, we have and it's already filled out. We wanted to hand you the paperwork in person. Can we set up a date to meet?"
"Sure…how's this Friday at 10am?"
"Fine for me…Heather?"
"Perfect."
"Great! Have you picked a song for your first dance as a married couple?"
"Yes, we did."
"What is it? I want to write it down."
"It's 'Just You 'n Me' by Chicago." Naya answered.
Lauren smiled.
"We also picked out our wedding bands today as well," Heather stated.
"Also my father got a permit for getting married on the beach."
"Wow! You two are on a roll," Alan said.
"Thank you. I waited two and a half years to do this," Naya admitted, "So the quicker the better."
Heather kissed Naya's cheek.
"Oh, before I forget the photographer is part of the Great Officiant package. So there's nothing to worry about there."
"We are going to need an itemized list of all the costs for our parents," Naya said.
"I'll work on that and give it you on Friday. Does that sound okay?"
"Perfect, thank you, Alan."
"Thank you both for all your hard work. I'll see you on Friday. Do you need directions?"
"Yes, please! Can you e-mail me those also?" Naya said.
"Yes, I still have your e-mail address. Please don't forget the paperwork and we will have it notarized when we meet. You also need valid California identification."
"Will driver licenses work?"
"Perfect!"
"Well, thank you very much again. If you need us to bring anything else for Friday please let me know when you send the directions." Naya said.
"Will do! Thank you, Naya and Heather. Oh, something to look forward to…you'll be officially married on Friday!"
"Wow! It's actually happening!" Heather beamed, with tears in her eyes. Lauren handed her a napkin.
"Thank you," Heather mouthed to Lauren who gave her the thumbs up sign and a smile.
"See you Friday!" Naya said and then she hung up Heather's phone.
As soon as Naya gave Heather back her phone, Naya grabbed Heather's face in her hands and kissed her passionately on the lips. She didn't care who happened to see her do that. When they broke the kiss, Lauren said, "Wow! That was some major tonsil hockey!"
They all laughed hysterically. Then their food came and they ate, laughed, and had ice cream. After their meals they took Lauren home. When they arrived at her house Heather said, "See you tomorrow! Thanks for the great time."
"Thanks for coming to check on me."
"Um, Lauren…" Naya said and looked directly into her eyes, "No more tears…unless they are happy ones!"
Lauren saluted Naya and said, "Yes, sir…ah, ma'am!"
Naya chuckled.
"Night!" Lauren turned and walked into her house. They watched her until she turned around and waved.
"She's a great person!" Naya said, happily.
Heather texted Jane, "Thank you, Jane for talking with Mr. Potter for us! Lauren's happy and so are we!"
I'm sexy and I know it!
JANE LYNCH: No problem. Happy to help.
Once they got home, Naya and Heather checked iTunes for "their" song. They found it, paid for it, and burnt it onto a CD. Then they popped it into Heather's laptop.
Once the song started to play, Heather pulled Naya into her embrace and swayed with her back and forth in time with the music. Naya loved being in Heather's embrace so much. It felt like home. The place that she was always meant to be.
"Am I doing this right?" Naya asked.
"Beautiful. Just like this." Heather then spun her out and pulled her back in. Heather realized that the song was about to finish. On cue, Heather dipped Naya which surprised her.
Once they broke their embrace, Naya asked if she wanted to go outfit shopping and to order flowers on Saturday.
"Yup. We just have to make sure they can deliver the flowers to Santa Cruz or find out if they have another store over there."
"Good point!"
"Oh, question." Heather said, "What are we telling the people standing up for us to wear?"
"Hmm, I guess something beachy?"
"Beachy, huh? Definition please!"
"Casual. No long gowns or anything. Whatever they are comfortable in will be fine!"
"Good thinkin'!"
"We have time to tell them."
Naya looked at the clock it was already 4:30pm. "What do you wanna do?"
"Wanna have a quiet night at home tonight?"
"Sure…In my arms?" Naya asked.
"There's no other place I'd rather be."
"Ok, I'm going to go change."
"Would you like a glass of wine, Ms. Rivera?" Heather asked.
"Yes, please, Ms. Rivera!" Naya kissed her and then went upstairs.
Heather decided to bring the whole bottle upstairs with the two wine glasses and spend time in their bedroom for awhile. When she walked into the room she almost dropped everything she was carrying. Naya saw the expression on Heather's face so she didn't try to cover up.
"Hi, Baby," she simply said.
"I've never seen you completely naked in the daylight…You're amazing!"
Heather put down what she was carrying, pushed the door closed, and then lunged at Naya who had her arms open for her. Their impact made them fly onto the bed in laughter.
Naya looked up into Heather's sky blue eyes and Heather looked down into Naya's chocolate brown colored eyes. Then their lips connected in a kiss that had both of them wanting more of each other.
"When we make love time stops for me!" Heather revealed.
"It's like the outside world disappears and we are the only two people left on the planet." Naya said.
Naya extended her legs and wrapped them tightly around Heather's waist. After she did this, Naya could feel the softness of the clothes Heather was wearing rub against her. She was becoming excited simply by that. Naya closed her eyes.
Heather dipped down and connected their lips in another electrifying kiss.
Naya moaned. Without opening her eyes, Naya blindly navigated her hands to the bottom of Heather's shirt. Once she found that she started to pull it off of Heather. When Naya was successful she opened her eyes.
Heather had an idea so she gently pulled Naya up from the bed and they stood in front of it. Heather than removed her bra and then they stood facing each other. Heather then removed her pants and underwear. They took a moment to take the other person into their hearts.
Then Heather pulled Naya in for a dance. Not having music didn't bother them as their breathing and the silence was enough. Naya and Heather swayed back and forth together. Their bodies were as close as possible to each other. They swirled and dipped all the while looking directly into each other's eyes.
Naya was ready to have her release by simply being this close to Heather.
"I need you!" Naya whispered into Heather's ear. Naya guided Heather back to the bed and they both climbed in. They wrapped the covers around then and then Naya grabbed Heather and pulled her on top of her and said, "I need you now!"
Heather knew what this meant and took her two fingers and gently inserted them into Naya's sex. Heather wiggled them inside Naya and almost immediately Naya's breathing became labored and her body rose and fell. She had her release while Heather was still wiggling her fingers inside her. When Naya calmed down she took Heather's mouth in a passionate kiss.
Naya broke the kiss and said, "I love you, Ms. Rivera!" Heather just held her tightly against her body.
"I love you too!"
Then they fell asleep.
