The final pre-written one-shot. Whole story has been working up to this :) :)
Chapter 18
We don't need calligraphy
To write a fancy story
Kings and Queens return to thieves
To find what we've been holding
You and Me
We can take the world
As the song began Naya and Dianna walked hand in hand to the middle of the dance floor. All eyes were on them as Naya took hold of the blonde's beautifully delicate body and swayed with her. It was springtime and the evening air was pleasant and the sun was refusing to completely disappear on the horizon. Good lighting or not, Naya could not deny the utter beauty that stood before her.
"You look absolutely breathtaking tonight my love," Naya told Dianna. Di simply smiled in return, burying her head against Naya's chest. This had become a habit, she always melted into the Latina, breathing in her scent. Everything about the moment, the whole night, was perfect. Being there, in Naya's arms, Dianna knew she would always be safe, always be cared for, and always be loved. There wasn't more she could ask for, not only did she have a wonderful lover but now her son had another mom too.
Oh sweethearts give sweet compliments
But our love goes without saying
Though you make it hard not to spill my heart
Every time I see you swaying
Darling You and Me
We can take the world. Darling...
The two had been dating for the past year and a half. They'd had their ups and downs as any couple did, the hardest times usually being accredited to Dianna's dual role as girlfriend and mother; that came with certain responsibilities Naya had to come to terms with quickly. Naya had adapted though, quickly finding Dianna's role as a mother just one more thing she was drawn to; Di was great with Austin. What surprised Naya most about their roller coaster relationship of friends to lovers though was how dependent she became on the little family. She'd grown up so independent, but looking into Dianna's eyes even now she knew the blonde beauty had wrecked her for ever being alone again.
Cause they can write stories
They can sing songs
But they don't make fairy tales
Sweeter than ours
They can climb mountains
High into the sky
But they can't take the world
Oh…Like we can take the world
"You know, I never thought I'd get married," Naya told Dianna just as she twirled the blonde mid-dance.
"You never told me that."
"That's because when I met you everything changed." There was such sincerity to her voice; it was coated with love and affection that she reserved only for Di.
"That was so cheesy," Dianna responded. Her melodic laughter floated in the air.
"You love me like this," Naya teased, smirk tugging at her lips.
"I love you all the time…that's why I made you my wife."
"I had to ask you!" Naya said, her mouth dropping open in mock anger. Dianna pressed a light kiss on her new wife's lips, chasing away the fighting words.
"Yeah, but I said yes…" Dianna's logic never seemed to be quite thought through but over the years Naya had learned that Dianna often got her way, her beauty and sexiness overcompensating for her lack of reasoning.
"Best decision ever," Naya whispered into Dianna's ear as she held her tightly, as if she'd never let her go.
"That we can agree on." Naya didn't have to see Di's face to know she was smiling; she could detect it in her voice. That was the beautiful thing about knowing your partner so well, you never missed the smallest of things that made that person unique, made them yours.
Oh I can see
The future you and me we last forever
In the rising tide
No fear or fight
That we can't face together
Darling You and Me
We can take the world
Naya had chosen this particular song because not only was it beautifully sung but because she loved the lyrics; she found herself drawn to the words. In her mind her and Di's relationship was equally strong and sweet. They could indeed take the world, they'd already battled through outside criticisms of their relationship, battled the hardships of equal parenting, and overcome being apart more often than either of them had liked. Just the same their relationship had brought the sweetest of times; like the times when they were playing happily families at the park with little Austin, the times when Naya would commit the simplest act of service just to make Dianna's day that much easier, and the times when Dianna would whisper sweet nothings into Naya's ear as they lay wrapped in each other's arms. Neither were perfect but somehow, in finding refuge in each other, they'd found a perfect relationship and a perfect life.
As the song came to a finish the two girls stopped swaying and Dianna looked deeply into Naya's eyes, almost getting lost within the dark chocolate orbs. She couldn't imagine a more perfect wife, a more perfect wedding day, or a more perfect first dance with the woman who had conquered her heart and protected it fiercely. Dianna loved how her heart swelled when her eyes would fall upon Naya and know, without a shadow of a doubt, that she was completely committed and completely hers; it was really quite a turn on.
"So now that we've had our first dance as a married couple how about we lose the crowd and go begin our first night together wifey?" Dianna was excited to get Naya into bed, the two never being short on chemistry, but she was also excited about spending the rest of her life waking up to the face of her beautiful Latina; she would never tire of that.
"It's like you read my mind babe," Naya replied, kissing her love as if they were the only two under the stars that night.
