Naya's POV

The party had started a while ago and Cassandra wasn't here yet. Neither was Lea. They were the only ones missing and I really wanted to see Cassandra, see how she looks. She probably looks stunning.

After a while, I felt the need to go check myself in the bathroom mirror, just to make sure I look okay before she comes. And I also needed some time apart form this loud music. I couldn't even hear myself think. Few minutes passed before I decided to head back out until I stopped in the middle of the hallway, looking at the beauty that was coming towards the bar.

There she was, in all her glory, looking as beautiful as ever. She had on a blue dress and god did that dress do her good, it was tight and short and all I wanted to do at that moment was touch her. What the fuck? Did I just think about touching her? Okay yeah, I'm thinking about touching her and many other dirty things I wanna do to her. I finally stopped questioning myself when it comes to her, she gives me these thoughts I never imagined I could have towards a girl but yet here she is, making me swoon and making me want her. Yes, I want her. There's no more denying her. And there's nothing standing in my way anymore.

Right..yes there is, the fact that she's homophobic oh yeah and uhh maybe the fact that I'm a total bitch to her. What the hell am I gonna do...

With all these thoughts running through my mind, all I could think about was going over there and kissing her gorgeous lips. But I couldn't. So I took in a shaky breath, building my confidence back up and headed towards Cass and Lea. Our eyes met until she turned back around and ordered a drink. But for some reason, I saw Lea giggle at her. Wow, they were close enough to have inside jokes without even speaking...

As I reached them, Cass' back towards me, I heard her order a Sex on the beach and couldn't think of anything else, I had to say it.

"Kinky"

She turned around and glard at me and my smirk before turning back, ignoring me. That hurt. Hugging Lea was now a different story, she gives amazing hugs but this time, her hug seemed different, it seemed distant as if she just didn't want to touch me and I couldn't figure out why. Had I done something wrong to her? I was so confused but shrugged it off, it's a party. Time to enjoy. And what better way to enjoy other than with alcohol?

A while later, I saw Cassandra stand up form the corner of my eye and head to the dance floor before beginning to dance in a very attracting way. I was mesmerized and was so turned on by her dancing until a hulk guy came in back of her and stuck himself to her ass. That was supposed to be my place. He had his hands on her hips, swaying her and she was grinding on him. Fuck, she looked so hot and I was beyond turned on. But I was fuming. How the hell could she allow a random guy just coming in back of her and touch her body like this?

"Oh shut up Naya, you know very well that the onl reason you're pissed is because you wished that was you. You wished those were your hands on her hips, swaying her and having her grind on you. Well would you look at that, you're becoming a little Santana, how cute. With all the bitchiness and falling in love with a girl. Wait love? Maybe...But nothing was ever gonna happen and you know this is torture so drink your sorrows away sweetheart."

Shot after shot, everything was becoming a bit blurry. Cass had looked at her and seen her angry face but eeeh whatever. She continued drinking until someone came towards her and held her tight. She pushed them away, not knowing who it was until she heard Cassandra's voice telling the bartender to stop the drinks. And that when all hell broke loose in her mind. She began pushing away Cassandra even further, spitting cutting words at her, not being able to contain her anger and hurt anymore. It was all too much, her sexiness, her voice, her actions, her dancing, and the alcohol. It was all about her. After all she did to her, here she was, trying to save her from her own crap. How was that even possible. But she didn't need her help. She continued pushing Cassandra and hitting her, yelling spanish words at her. Until she felt the cool air on her skin, she was being taken away and had no clue where she was going. All she knew was that she was in her co-worker's arms, fighting to be set free. And then she heard Lea's voice, trying to concentrate on their conversation. She wasn't a fan of eavesdropping but that wasn't the case right? She was right here in between them so it's all good. Lea started talking and gosh it sounded so loud.

-What are you doing Cass? Where are you going?

It was nice to know she worried more about Cass than about me, being the drunk one in the situation.

-I'm taking Naya home, she's in no condition to drive home or even stay here anymore. She's extremely drunk.

Aw how sweet.

-I don't understand how you could be so nice to her and take care of her the way you do after everything she's done and said to you. I mean look at her, even now, you're dragging her out for her own good and she's spitting words at you. I can't wrap my head around this. I just..ugh I wish she could see what you're doing for her.

What? Cassandra told Lea something? She told her how I've been acting with her? Shit that must be why Lea seemed so distant with me. I saw it coming, obviously but not this soon. Fuck I screwed up real bad hadn't I? Wow, I'm actually able to think of smart things while being drunk, that's a first. But wow, I'm enjoying the warmth of Cassandra's arms around me but I definitely wasn't going to show that so I kept on with my game of hatred, not knowing towards who I was sending it anymore, her or myself.

-I told you why I do it all Lea...she means the world to me, I don't care what she does to me. I agree, it kills me when she treats me like shit because I have no fucking clue what I might've done for her but in a few weeks, I won't see her anymore. And that's probably gonna hurt more than anything she's ever done to me here. She hates my guts but I can't give up. She was the reason I had a smile on my face most of my days, she was the reason I continued to fight for my dreams, she gave me hope and something to fight for. She might hate me but she's still my hero. She might act horribly towards me but she will always be this big hearted woman who saved me from myself. I see the way she acts with everyone else, I know how sweet and caring she is and that's all I need. So if you'll excuse me Lea, I have to get going before she passes out.

I couldn't think straight anymore. What? I mean the world to her? Even after everything I did? How is that even possible? How is someone able to forgive so easily? Is this an angel? Omg she's leaving in a few weeks it's true, shit. That's gonna hurt as fuck isn't it. But did she just say it's gonna hurt her too? I don't hate your guts baby girl I just..I'm so confused. I don't understand my feelings towards you. I'm her hero? Me? The bitch who's been tearing her down ever since we met? Gosh I can't keep replaying these words in my head, I'm gonna go crazy. I saved her from herself? How? What? I wanna know? What the fuck had I done? Why was I such a monster? I'm speechless, I can't think straight. This girl really is an angel...

-Wow, I'm speechless. It's insane how much you care about her..I admire you for doing all that and putting up with her shit. Anyways, where are you taking her? You know where she lives?

Me too Lea, me too, I'm speechless and I just ugh, my head is killing me, I wanna sleep.

-It's nothing, I just owe her everything I got. And no I don't that's why I'm taking her over to my place.

Shit I'm going back to her place? What's gonna happen? Omg I'm freaking out internally because my body seems to have a mind on its own.

-Okay good night Cass, stay safe.

-Thanks you too babe, night.

*Reaching Cassandra's place.*

"Come on Naya, just try to keep up a bit with me until I get you safely to bed."

She dragged me along with her, holding me tightly against her and it felt so right, it felt so good. She threw her keys on the table and brought me to her room. Wow her bed is huge. I really liked her place, it was cozy. She sat me down on the bed and left. When she came back, she had pj pants and a tee-shirt, along with her make up bag.

"So uh, I err, I'm gonna take off your make up if you don't mind..." she trailed off and I just nodded my head, not rusting my voice. She was so sweet...Why the hell did I have to ruin everything?

She slowly began closing my eyes and passing the cotton with the creme over my eyes, not pressing too hard. I'm guessing my eyes were make up less but I kept my eyes closed. It felt amazing, her skin on my skin, her soft touch, her fingers grazing my skin while taking my make up off. I was deep in thought until I felt her entire hand holding my cheek.

"Naya are you okay? Do you need anything? You seemed deep in thought..make yourself at home, if you need anything don't hesitate."

She looked into my eyes with her eyes filled with love, it was so hard not to kiss her right there. But I knew this love was probably only admiration for me since I was her idol..not the romantic type of love. She carressed my cheek for a bit and I was sinking into this affection. I wanted more. I wanted to feel her skin on my skin. But that's was never going to happen. I just wasn't that lucky.

"Here, let me tuck you under the covers"

She tucked me in and turned around, heading outside her room. Where was she going? Before I could figure it out, my mouth spoke.

"Where are you going?" I asked her with such a soft voice. She turned around, shock written all over her face. She definitely wasn't expecting this type of attitude coming from me. But she instantly erased that look and gave me a soft one instead.

"I'm gonna go get the couch ready so I could sleep, just sleep Naya, you really need it."

"Come sleep here." I pleaded her, looking straight into her eyes. They widened with shock, once again before she came over to me and asked me if I was sure. I nodded so she just slowly nodded as well and moved to the other side. She looked at me and whispered: "Good night little angel, sleep tight."

She turned her back to me and I scooted closer and spooned her. I was the big spoon and it felt so right. She stiffened under my touch but began to relax. This simple contact made my heart skip a beat and I fell asleep, my arm around her, protecting her from anything...anything, especially me.

It was the best night ever.

I woke up in the morning groaning. My head was killing me, I felt like there were knives going in and out of it. I looked around, slightly confused on to where I was before the memories rushed into my mind.

I was at Cassandra's place. She brought me over last night. She took care of me. She still cared about me. Maybe I hadn't ruined all the chances of becoming friends? Even though I want more than friends..Meh. I looked around, her side of the bed was empty. I checked my phone and it was 10 am, I had to be at the studio at 3pm to film a scene with Cassandra. I had time. I popped myself on my elbows and groaned in pain before I noticed on my night stand, there was a piece of paper, pain killers and a bottle of water. I mentally thanked Cass for being so amazing and caring and scowled myself for being such a heartless bitch. And then I reached for the paper. She had written me a note.

Morning Naya,
You're probably freaking out right now, not knowing where you are. You're at my place, you were drunk last night so I took the liberty of bringing you back to mine before anything bad happens. I couldn't stay because I had to talk to Ryan about somethings and I didn't want to bother you when you woke up, I didn't want to be a burden so I hope you don't mind. You probably don't but whatever. There are pain killers and a bottle of water right next to this so take them, you'll feel a lot better. Anyways, I pulled some cleaned towels if you wanna take a shower, they're in the bathroom on the chair, and you can pick a few things from my clothes if you don't want to come to the set with the same clothes as last night so be my guest. Make yourself at home, I made pancakes if you want, they're in the fridge and Lea's gonna pass to get you since you probably don't know how to get on the set from my place so, she'll be there around 2. See you you later
Cassandra.

Wow,she did all this for me? This was the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me, not even Sean had ever done something this nice for me. She was such an angel, gosh I'm such a horrible person. I need to make it up to her. I need to show her how much I love her.

I won't let you down Cassandra, not this time. If only you give me a chance..
