Always Me & You
Chapter 16
The next morning, Naya was the first to get up from bed. She decided to make Heather breakfast in bed. She prepared French toast, eggs scrambled, and coffee.
As she cautiously carried up the tray to their room, she said, "Heather…time to wake up!"
Heather stirred.
"Baby…" Naya said as she put the tray down on the night stand.
"What time is it?"
"9am. I made you breakfast!"
"Yummy," Heather said and picked herself up from her laying position.
"Ok, we have French toast, eggs, and of course, coffee!"
"All for me," Heather asked, playfully.
"Haha! Just eat it!"
Heather picked up a piece of French toast and egg and popped it into her mouth.
"This is good," Heather said with a mouthful.
"Thank you."
Just then John, Diane's producer, called.
"Hello?" Naya asked.
"Hi, Naya, it's John, Diane's producer."
"Oh, hello…Can I put you on speaker?"
"Sure."
"Ok, we are both here."
"Hi, Heather."
"Hi, John. Is everything going well for you?"
"Everything's going great. I just wanted to talk to you two about tomorrow's interview."
"Ok, great."
"Diane and I spoke and we've decided to do a half hour piece. Is this okay?"
"Great!"
"She will interview you in the choir room. She asked if you could come up with a question for her to ask you…."
"Ok. We'll think about it."
"She'll be at the studio at 9am. Can you be here at 8:30?"
"Not a problem," Heather said.
"What should we wear?"
"She asked that you wear your own casual clothes and not your costumes. She wants everyone to know that you are in love…Not just your characters."
"Are jeans okay?"
"Yes, they are fine!"
"Great. How much detail should we tell her about our upcoming marriage," Heather asked.
"Um, you can be as specific as you want. I'd advise to probably not announce exactly where the ceremony will take place. I'm sure you don't want a million Gleeks bombarding you!"
"Oh, ok." They laughed.
"Does this interview have an air date yet?"
"Um, I believe we are hoping for Friday."
"This Friday," Heather asked, shocked.
"Yes." John replied, "We know what we're doing!"
"Oh, I didn't mean it that way…I'm sorry," Heather said.
"Heather, I was just joking!"
"Oh, good." Heather breathed out.
"So, you'll sit down with her on Monday, probably for an hour or so, then we send the footage off to our editors and they work their magic and then it'll air on Friday."
"Wow!"
"Any other questions?"
"I don't think so. We want to thank you for coming out here!" Naya said.
"No problem. Diane is really excited!"
"We are also. Can I ask an 'unprofessional' question," Heather asked.
"Sure…"
"Are you going to ask if she's here now?" Naya guessed.
"God, you know me too well. Yes, I was. Is she?"
"I believe so. Want me to see if she can call you?"
"Really? Just like that?"
"Yeah," John said and laughed.
"You know what? That might be a good idea this way we can tell her our one question ahead of time." Naya said.
"I'll text her as soon as I hang up with you! Give her your number, Naya?"
"Yes. This is so cool."
"I know right? I'll see you both tomorrow at 8:45am. Thanks for chatting today. I'll text her now."
"Thank you for calling!"
"Yes, thanks," Heather said.
Naya hung up.
"It's not every day that Diane Sawyer calls you."
"I feel all special." Heather smiled.
"Once we get dressed we'll talk about the question Diane wants us to have for her to ask us."
"Before John called I was going to suggest, 'Shower Sunday' but now that Diane's calling we'll have to postpone it," Heather said.
"Hehe. I have an idea. Since the interview will be airing on Friday night, wanna have Dianna and Lea over to watch it?" Naya suggested.
"Always think'!"
"We'll text them later."
Just then Naya's phone rang. She picked it up and recognized the area code.
"Um, babe, it's Diane Sawyer!"
"Pick it up!"
"Hello…"
"Hi, this is Diane Sawyer…"
"Hi, Ms. Sawyer…"
"Is this Heather or Naya?"
"This is Naya!"
"Naya…it's Diane!" she said and chuckled.
"Oh, I'm sorry…"
"No worries! Is Heather around?"
Naya put the phone on speaker.
"She's right here, Diane…Say 'hi', Heather."
"Hi, Diane."
"You two are so cute!" Diane said and laughed.
Heather jumped up and down in excitement. Naya could barely keep her composure.
"We try."
"So, John told me that you have your question for me to ask you guys?"
"We were just talking about it," Naya fibbed.
"Oh, that's good. What have you decided on?"
Right then Heather had an idea and said, "It might be very dull, but I think it should be 'Why do you love Heather?' and 'Why do you love Naya?' It's the reason for all of this."
Naya smiled at Heather and held up the thumbs up sign.
"That's not dull at all, Heather!"
"Good!"
"While we are on the phone, I can give you a run down for how I see this going."
"Oh, yeah. To calm our nerves a little," Naya said.
"Ok, sure…well, I promise not to ask you anything about the specifics of the ceremony. If you offer it then great, if not, that's fine too. Can you tell me a little now, like who started this?"
"Sure. I did," Naya said.
"Oh, ok. I'll ask you more questions tomorrow, but just so I know who to direct that question to."
"Anything else?" Heather asked.
"Can I ask, Naya, how did you first approach Heather? Face-to-face?"
"I actually wrote her a letter…"
"A beautiful letter…" Heather added.
"A letter…would you mind reading a passage of it on air?"
Heather looked at Naya and mouthed, "It's up to you!"
"I'd be honored to, Diane!"
"Great!"
"I'm getting it right now, Diane!" Heather said as she retrieved it from atop of her jewelry box.
"That's great. Heather, I'd like you to wear your ring and anything else Naya has gotten you. Ok?"
"I always wear my ring, but I'll wear the necklace she got for me too!"
"That's perfect. I have to go, but I'll see you tomorrow morning at 9am. This interview will air on Friday night. I've already determined that!"
"Cool!"
"One more thing, Diane?" Naya asked.
"Shoot!"
"After the interview could we introduce you to the GLEE kids? They are excited for us and would love to meet you!"
"Absolutely. I love GLEE!"
"Awesome!"
"See you tomorrow you two!"
"Yup."
"Bye!"
And Diane hung up.
Once Naya hung up her phone, Heather picked her up.
"Where are you taking me?"
"You'll see."
Naya was taken to their bathroom.
Heather helped her out of her pajamas and assisted her with getting into the shower. Naya watched as Heather get out hers. Once they were both inside, Heather turned on the faucet.
"Geez, that's cold!" they both yelled and then laughed.
"Sorry," Heather said, and readjusted it.
"That's better," Naya said and reached for the body soap. She squirted a little into her hands and lathered it up. Then she placed it on Heather's back and massaged it gently. Heather hung her head down and moved her hair away so Naya could have access to her neck. Instead of feeling the soap she felt the butterfly kisses Naya placed there. Heather extended her arms out onto the shower wall to stop herself from getting weak in the knees as Naya continued to kiss her. As Naya sent her kisses lower and lower, Heather moaned. Then she turned around and grabbed Naya into her arms. Their bodies meshed together. Then Heather reached for the soap and lathered some onto her hands. She then started to massage Naya's neck and collarbone. Her hands wandered down and massaged her upper chest, stomach, and belly button. Heather then took the soap bottle and squirted more onto her hands. She grabbed Naya's behind and gently massaged that area of flawless skin.
"I think I need you soon and for the rest of the day." Naya said, excited.
"Let me just rinse you off then we can do whatever you want!"
Heather cupped her hands so that they would get water in them. Then she threw the water onto Naya's body. Once Heather thought she did an okay job, she turned around to turn off the faucet. While Heather's back was to her, Naya couldn't resist and grabbed Heather's behind.
"Helloooo!" Heather exclaimed.
Naya laughed out loud and said, "Only fair!"
Heather tore the shower curtain opened, got out, and then assisted Naya out. She then went to pick Naya up and almost dropped her because Naya's body was dripping wet.
"Oh, shit, you okay?"
"Yup. I'm slippery when wet!"
"No comment!"
Naya laughed as Heather tried again more successfully this time to pick her up.
"Babe, I can walk, you know?" Naya said while in Heather's arms.
"You need to save your energy."
"For what?" Naya teased.
"You'll see." Heather answered as she got to the bed.
She threw Naya onto the bed and immediately straddled her hips.
"You ready?"
"More than you'll ever know. Give me those lips."
Heather bent down and Naya reached up and connected their mouths together. They made love that day over and over again. They both sang out in ecstasy more time than they even remembered. Both of their names were yelled as each of them reached their peaks. Their hunger for each other's bodies took over and took them to places they never knew existed.
Once they could no longer go on due to exhaustion they collapsed into each other's arms.
Gasping her air, Naya said, "Holy crap. I did things to you that I never knew existed!"
Heather replied, "I hope I showed you today just how much I love you."
"You show me every day that you love me, Heather!"
"I know…I just wanted to drive the point home!"
"Oh, you drove it home alright!" Naya assured her.
Heather laughed.
"Question for you." Naya said.
"Answer for you!"
Naya chuckled, but asked, "Are you scared for tomorrow?"
"The interview?"
"Yes, the interview."
"Why would I be scared?"
"Because in a way, you're 'coming out'!"
"So are you…I don't see it that way, Nay!"
"How do you see it?"
"Because of GLEE, we have a platform. Tomorrow I'm using that platform to tell the world that I am in love with my best friend, partner, and wife…Naya Rivera!"
"And that doesn't scare you?"
"Not one bit…I have the support of my family. My friends are your friends so they're on the 'love train'…"
"Choo choo!" Naya said to lighten the atmosphere.
"Yes, choo choo, babe! But honestly, all I'm doing is telling the world that I love you and we are meant to be together. Are you scared?"
"A little."
"Why?"
"Because of the critics and the people who want to spoil what we have!"
"Naya, there's always going to be critics. Do you know why they criticized?"
"No, why?"
"Because they want what we have. They want the love that we have because their life is missing it."
"I've never thought about it that way."
"And don't you say that you don't live your life for anyone else, but yourself?"
"That's partially true. I live my life for you now! I get your point though."
"You know another reason why I'm not scared?"
"No, what is it!"
"Because you're going to be right by my side."
Naya flipped herself onto her stomach and looked into those sky blue orbs of Heather's. She said, "I will always be right by your side." Then Naya kissed Heather's lips sweetly.
"I know and that, my friend, is why I'm not scared!"
"I'm sorry if I was," Naya said.
"No apology necessary."
"I love you so freakin' much!" Naya said and gave Heather a puppy dog expression.
Once they found the energy they went downstairs and had dinner. Then they just sat on the couch and watched Sunday night television. At 10pm they decided to call it a night. Naya set the alarm for 7am so they could get to the studio on time. Then they fell asleep in each other's arms.
Beep Beep Beep
"Rise and shine," Naya said as she jumped out of bed and directly into the shower.
"Good morning. I'll turn off the alarm."
Within five minutes Naya was out of the shower and Heather went in. Naya chose to wear a pair of jeans and a plaid, buttoned down, long sleeved cotton tee shirt.
When Heather got out of the bathroom, she said, "I love that top on you, my dear!"
"Thanks, babe," Naya said, and kissed her cheek, "You hungry?"
"I could go for a latte and donut!"
"Well then hurry up and get ready. We'll go on the way to work."
"Okay."
"Don't forget you ring and necklace. Can I hold onto your letter?"
"It's on the dresser! Thanks for reminding me."
"I'll be downstairs…Hurry up!"
"Ok, ok." Heather picked out a spaghetti strapped yellow sun dress and threw it on. She clasped her necklace on by herself on the first shot and made sure her ring was on her finger. She found her sandals and bolted down the stairs.
"Wow! You look amazing!"
"This old thing," Heather said and twirled around.
Naya laughed. She held opened the door, and said, "After you!"
They walked out of their apartment, locked the door, got into Naya's car, and drove to get lattes and then to work.
Once they arrived at the studio, they walked each other to their trailers to drop off their belongings. Naya remembered Heather's letter. Then they walked to the "choir room".
The closer they got to the room the more crowded it became.
"All for us!" Heather whispered and Naya smiled.
When they walked into the room, they spotted John and walked toward him.
"Good morning!" they said.
"Hi, girls…You ready?"
"Yes, we are!" Naya said.
"Ok, then, follow me!"
They walked behind John and were seated in two chairs with white lights shining on them. Just for a minute they both got nervous so they grabbed each other's hands and squeezed. Heather noticed their friends were peered into the room from the hallway. She showed Naya. She looked in that direction and saw Cory as he gave her the thumbs up sign. Naya laughed.
Just then Diane Sawyer walked into the room wearing a hot pink cotton shirt and a pair of jeans. She walked up to them and said, "Hi, Naya…Hi, Heather!" She shook both of their hands.
"Hi, Diane. Thanks for coming to do this for us!" Naya said and Heather nodded.
"Thanks for picking me! You ready?"
"Sure!" Heather said.
"Ok, everyone, we're ready to go," Diane stated.
"Ok, quiet please…Diane when you're ready."
"Tonight I'm sitting down Naya Rivera and Heather Morris from GLEE."
After they each answered the first question they got into a pattern and that made it a lot easier. The conversation was much like three friends chatting away. In an hour, they had at least an hour worth of material and were done.
"Can we take a picture with you?"
"Of course. Then I want to take one with your whole cast…will it be hard to track them down?" Diane asked.
"Um, no. just look out that door over there and you'll see Cory and most likely everyone else." Heather said.
Diane laughed and said, "Open the floodgates!"
"I don't think –"
Before Heather finished the sentence the cast burst into the room and almost knocked Diane over, but Heather caught her.
"You okay?" Heather asked, worried.
"No worries, dear."
"Everyone STOP!" Naya yelled.
The room went silent.
"Ok, thank you…Diane wants to meet all of you, but calm down."
"Thanks, Naya. Nice to meet all of you."
"Hi, Diane…I'm Chris Colfer," Chris said and politely approached the interviewer.
"Hi, Lea Michele…"
"Hi, Ms. Sawyer, I'm Lauren Potter!"
"Hi, Diane, I'm Dianna Agron!"
"Kevin McHale!"
"Cory Monteith…"
"Harry Shum," Harry said and did a weird dance move which made Diane giggle.
"Jenna Ushkowitz…"
"Hi, Diane, I'm Jane Lynch."
"Dot-Marie Jones!"
"Matthew Morrison."
"Amber Riley."
"Jayma Mays!"
"Nice to meet all of you. Hey, Heather and Naya, would it be okay if I got to speak with some of your friends?"
"Um, we think it is okay. Guys?"
They all nodded.
"Do you need us?" Naya asked.
"Um, I don't think so!" Diane said.
"We have to rehearse for a scene then," Heather said.
Before, they left, they shook Diane's hand and said, "Thank you again so much…"
"Thank you."
"If you need us send one of these people to find us," Naya said and pointed to her friends.
"Ok!"
"Hey, Dot," Naya said, as they walked out, "Keep an eye on them, please?"
"Will do!"
Then Naya and Heather left the room.
Diane's people got the cameras ready and someone yelled, "Rolling!"
"Ok, guys, just pretend that there are no cameras here. I just want to know what you think about Naya and Heather."
Lauren's hand shot up. "I would like to share something with you."
"Go ahead, Lauren!" Diane smiled.
"Naya makes me feel like I'm a part of something bigger than myself. Her friendship means the world to me. Having Down syndrome is hard because I never know who's being 'real' with me and who isn't. Naya is being really real. Heather is great too. I think they make an amazing couple. Love is just love."
"Thank you, Lauren."
"I've talked with both of them on different occasions and they have so much love for each other. They thought long and hard about this relationship before they even started it because neither of them wanted to hurt their amazing friendship." Jane said.
"Naya and Heather are a perfect example of what a loving and committed relationship should look like. I hope to have something like what they have soon," Dianna said as she looked at Lea.
"To see them interact with each other is fun…It's an example of what the combination of friendship and love can create if they are joined," Lea offered, "I hope to have that as well."
"Does anyone else have anything else to share?"
No one else offered anything so Diane said, "Don't tell them what we talked about, ok? They'll find out Friday night!"
"Is that when this piece is airing?" Matt asked.
"Yes…"
"Cool!" Cory said.
"Well, thank you all for your wonderful insight!"
"Thank you."
The cast then started to disperse, but they said their good-byes to Diane first.
"Nice to meet, Diane," Lauren said when it was her turn to say good-bye to the interviewer.
"Nice to meet you too, Lauren! I love 'Becky' by the way!"
Lauren blushed and said, "Thank you!"
After awhile they all left. Diane's people packed up and headed back to New York City. Diane intended on giving the editors notes on what to keep and what not to. She definitely wanted to some of the cast's comments to stay in.
Meanwhile, Naya and Heather were happy to have the interview done, but nervous to see the final product. When Naya and Heather were in Naya's trailer there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!"
"Hi, Dianna…and Lea!"
"Hi, guys!"
"We were going to find you later." Naya said.
"How did talking to Diane go? Did Chris say, 'kisses' at all?" Heather asked and smiled. All four women burst out with laughter.
"No, you're in the clear on that one!"
"That's good!"
"What did you want to ask us?" asked Dianna.
"Many things, but for right now, what are you two doing Friday night?"
"I'm not doing anything," Lea said.
"Neither am I!" Dianna said.
"Then come over to Casa Rivera and watch the interview with us?" Heather asked.
"Sure…I'll bring the alcohol," Dianna asked.
"Sure, then we should make it a sleepover so no one has to drive anywhere." Naya suggested.
"Sounds like fun!"
"Yeah, it does. Thanks girls," Lea said.
"Just bring an air mattress cuz we only have one room and it's ours and the couch."
"We'll make due!" Dianna said and looked at Lea.
"Come by around 8 pm."
As Dianna and Lea were leaving, Dianna said, "Great! Thanks. Bye!"
As soon as the door slammed, Naya said, "OMG…did you see the way Dianna looked at Lea? I totally know that look!"
"I saw that…too cute! So how do you think it went?"
"I think it went well. We were honest so I think that was good!"
"I think we did great…we were honest, but kept some stuff between us!" Heather said.
"I'm excited to see the final cut!"
"Me too! We should text our families to tell them the date!"
"Good idea."
Heather texted her Mom.
MOM: World News with Diane Sawyer this Friday night! Tell April and Crystal.
Naya text her Mom.
MOM: World News with Diane Sawyer this Friday night! Tell everyone.
"Mom just answered, 'ok. Great'!"
Naya's phone buzzed,
"Mom said, 'can't wait. Love you'!"
After that day the rest of the week flew by and it was Friday night already.
"Nay, they should be here soon!"
"Ok, baby. I actually think I heard doors slam."
Bing!
"I'll get it…Hi…" Naya said.
"Hi, Come on in," Heather said as she came from the kitchen.
"Thanks for having us!" Dianna and Lea said as they threw their bags down.
"Here you go!" Dianna said as she handed Naya the brown paper bag full of alcohol.
"Wow. You went all out! Babe, they got champagne!"
"Yummy! Thank you."
"I'll open it after the show airs?" Dianna asked.
"Cool!"
"Come on sit down…it should be starting soon."
In ten minutes the show began.
Welcome to World News with Diane Sawyer.
Welcome, I'm Diane Sawyer. Our first story is a touching love story that is still playing out! To millions of Gleeks around the world they are known as Santana Lopez and Brittany S. Pierce or better yet "Brittana"! Actresses Naya Rivera and Heather Morris have an announcement and they came to us at World News. I travelled to Los Angeles and sat down with the two young stars so they could share their news.
D – So ladies, what's the big announcement?
N – Heather and I have fallen madly in love with each other. We have moved in together and are in the process of planning a wedding!
H – Yup.
D – Congratulations! Who confessed their love first?
N – I did.
D – That's a big risk, Naya, why did you choose to tell Heather you're in love with her? Were you afraid?
N – I told her because she is my best friend and my feelings for her had grown beyond friendship. I also told her because if I didn't someone else would have. I was only afraid of possibly ruining our amazing friendship.
H – You know what, Diane?
D – No what?
H – I had those same feelings for Naya. If she wasn't as brave as she was then I would have let her know how I felt. We were destined to be together.
Naya Rivera has been in this business since she was three years old with guest spots on "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" (show still shot of young Naya) and a host of other shows. Morris is most famous for her dancing abilities. She was a back up dancer for Beyoncé's smash hit "All the Single Ladies"! (show clip of Heather dancing with Beyoncé) They met in May 2009 and instantly became best friends.
D – How did you "make your move"? (Smiled.)
N – I actually wrote her a letter.
D – A letter?
H – A beautiful letter!
D – Could you read a small passage from it, Naya?
(Camera follows as Naya takes the letter out of her pocket.)
N – Sure … I'll read a few lines?
D – That's fine.
N – (Clears her throat) I've met the love of my life…my "songbird" if you will. I found the love of my life in you! … You turn on the light in my life. Your sunshine radiates on my heart and my emotions. Just knowing you, Heather, makes me want to strive to be a better actress…no, a better person! … Heather, in the past two years or so, I've come to know the person that you are and I've gotten to see your heart first hand by the kindness you've shown, the time you take to listen first and then give opinions, and so much more … Heather Elizabeth Morris, I love you. I say that with a heart full of admiration, trust, and loyalty. I say it wanting nothing, but your love in return. I say it with every fiber of my being. (Puts the paper down, and wipes away a tear.)
D – Wow!
H – Yeah…honestly who could say no to that? (Wipes a tear away)
(They all laugh.)
D – When did this all start? The relationship, I mean?
H – 2 and a half weeks ago.
D – You're not rushing it?
N – No, we aren't. We both love each other and are committed to each other…
H – Who would want to wait to get to spend the rest of their lives with the person they love…I just love her.
N – And I love her. We are meant to be with each other.
D – That's sweet. Who proposed to whom?
N – I proposed to Heather in Santa Cruz. We went on a weekend trip there.
H – Wanna see the ring? (Heather thrusts the ring out in the open so the camera could get a good look.)
D – That's beautiful…
H – It was Naya's grandmother's.
D – So are your families supportive?
N – My family is very supportive…they have been from the very moment we told them.
H – My Mom and sisters needed to see how much I love her and they helped us move in together. They now understand….It's not like I didn't talk about her non-stop before. They knew that Naya's my best friend.
N – Exactly. My family also knew that.
D – So what do you call yourselves now? Are you lesbians or bisexuals?
N – Diane, we are in love. These labels don't define us or our love. Love shouldn't know gender…
H – Yeah. Love is just love. We are committed to each other 125%!
D – Good answer. (Laughs)
D – So Heather when was the first time you realized you love Naya?
H – I have to say the first time we met. I felt electricity between us. At first I thought that it was the excitement of getting to work with her and witnessing first hand how uber talented she is…
N – Aww, thanks, Baby!
H – It's true!
D – Naya, what about you?
N – It was the first time I held her hand. Her hand felt like home…like a place where I was supposed to be. It just felt right, you know?
D – (Nodded) so, is this going to last?
N – Yes, it is going to last. When you love someone like I love her it has to last.
H – Yes, without a doubt. She is my heart! She is my life!
D – How are you so sure?
N – This relationship was built on a very solid friendship. When something is built on that nothing can separate that…or us for that matter.
D – What do you say to all of your fans?
N – (Looks directly into the camera) Thank you...thank you for allowing us to work so closely together. From that interaction our friendship was created. And because of our friendship, I get to marry the woman of my dreams!
H – (Looks directly into the camera) Naya is my life and you played a big part in that. I feel beyond lucky and blessed to know her and to get the opportunity to call her my wife! Thank you! (Waves.)
We asked some of their GLEE friends what they thought about Naya and Heather. Here's Lauren Potter who plays "Becky": (Camera close up on Lauren.)
"Naya makes me feel like I'm a part of something bigger than myself. Her friendship means the world to me. Having Down syndrome is hard because I never know who's being 'real' with me and who isn't. Naya is being really real. Heather is great too. I think they make an amazing couple. Love is just love."
Jane Lynch, Sue Sylvester, adds: (Camera close up on Jane.)
"I've talked with both of them on different occasions and they have so much love for each other. They thought long and hard about this relationship before they even started it because neither of them wanted to hurt their amazing friendship."
Dianna Agron, Quinn Fabrey, had this to say about Naya and Heather: (Camera close up on Dianna.)
"Naya and Heather are a perfect example of what a loving and committed relationship should look like. I hope to have something like what they have soon!"
D – So Heather, why do you love Naya?
H – I feel safe around her. She has tried to protect me throughout our friendship and especially now! I know she will never leave me. It's gonna sound cliché, but she completes me. She makes excited to be alive. My world would be so empty and dull without her in it. I love her because I can just be myself 'round her and she accepts me no matter what.
D – Naya, why do you love Heather?
N – My life makes sense now in a whole new and exciting way. She protects my heart as well. She is the kindest and most gentle person I've ever met…Heather makes me feel like I'm the only woman in the world…
H – That's because she is … to me! (Looks at Naya.)
N – See?
(They all laugh.)
Naya Rivera and Heather Morris are deeply in love. Their compassion for each other is indescribable. We, at World News, would like to congratulate them on their upcoming nuptials and wish them many, many happy years together. We should all take a page from their book and remember that love is just love.
Coming up next…
Shaking, Naya turned the volume lower.
"Oh, my God! That was amazing!" Naya exclaimed as she was crying hysterically.
"I can't believe it! Naya, we are totally out now!" Heather said as she jumped up and down with excitement. Then she saw Naya's emotion and went to her side and said, "I love you so much, sweetheart!"
"I love you more, babe!"
"That was amazing!" Dianna said and wiped away the tears. "I'll get the champagne. Where's your cork screw?"
"In the drawer, next to the sink."
"That was brilliant," Lea yelled.
I'm sexy and I know it!
"What the hell is that?" Lea asked, startled.
"I got a text message…It's from Mom, Nay." Heather said.
It read, "Congratulations, you two. Call me tomorrow!"
"Heather, put that on vibrate as I think we're going to get a lot more."
Heather silenced her phone.
Naya's phone now buzzed. Naya reached for it and read, "Lauren's so excited! She's crying!"
Naya texted Lauren:
LAUREN POTTER: I'm crying too. Love you, girl! Call me tomorrow and we'll do lunch.
Heather's phone buzzed.
"Chris said he's so happy for us…and…Kisses!"
Naya's phone buzzed.
"Lauren said, 'love you 2!"
Heather's phone rang now.
"Hello?"
"Hi, HeMo…"
"Hi, Jane…"
"I just wanted to call and say, 'Congrats!' That was amazing! We are still crying over here! I'm so proud of you…and so proud of Naya."
"Thank you. I'll tell Nay. We have Dianna and Lea here now. We're about to celebrate."
"Be careful…"
"We're not going out! Thanks."
"See you Monday."
"Thanks, Jane!" Jane hung up.
"Nay, Jane says she proud of us."
"Aww."
Just then Naya's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Honey…"
"Hi, Mom and Dad…did you see it?"
"Of course! It was wonderful. We couldn't be more proud of you and Heather…"
"Thank you. We love you! We have friends over so I gotta go. Thanks for calling!" Naya hung up.
"Heather, my parents are proud of us."
"Sweet!"
Heather's phone vibrated.
"Cory said, "Awesome interview. I heart Diane Sawyer!"
Naya's phone buzzed, "We got 'holy crap. What an interview' from Kevin!"
They received several more texts like that. They were on such an adrenaline rush. They now felt like anything's possible.
"Did that really happen?" Naya asked.
"Yes, Sweetheart, it did!"
Once the glasses were filled with champagne, Dianna said, "I want to make a toast…to Naya and Heather…You show us what love truly means. May you have many, many wonderful years together. And may all your wishes come true! Salute!"
They all took a big gulp.
"Thank you, Di!" Heather said.
Then Dianna did something that shocked all of the women in the room. She pulled Lea into her arms and connected their lips together in the most passionate kiss Dianna could offer anyone. Lea fell into it without any hesitation. Once the kiss broke, Dianna leaned into Lea and whispered into her ear, "I think I love you!"
"Oh really? Do you now?" Lea smiled.
"We'll talk later!" Dianna said.
"You better believe it!"
Naya and Heather just looked at their friends who were still in each other's arms.
"Yes, Heather…Definitely something in the water!"
"You are correct!"
They all laughed.
After that they turned on the radio and finished pretty much all of the alcohol Dianna had brought with her. At about 1:00am they decided to call it a night. Heather and Naya went up to their room while Dianna and Lea found the couch to be more comfortable and the closeness was nice. Dianna held Lea in her arms. She felt like this was how it was supposed to be.
"You know before when I said, 'I think I love you!'?"
Lea said, "Yes…"
"I was wrong…"
Lea was sad momentarily.
"I know I love you!" Dianna stated which made Lea's face light up with excitement. Lea found Dianna's lips in the night's darkness and kissed her like her life depended on it.
"I love you too!"
Then they drifted off to sleep.
