Chapter 37

                  

Naya POV

'It's because she knows how much I really like you' that sentence kept playing in my head. After she said that, she grabbed a blanket and a pillow, I'm guessing she went to sleep on the couch, I didn't stop her, since I was still thinking about what she said. That night I couldn't sleep, I was thinking too much and when I finally did fall to sleep it was long past midnight. As I woke up I didn't hear a thing, but I did notice a not on the bed space next to me.

'Morning Naya, just wanted to say I already left to work, there are some waffles in the cupboard or if you rather have something else, just check the refrigerator or the kitchen cabinets. If you want to go home, there's a key under the flowerpot outside the apartment, just use that one to close off. Hope you slept well, LOL Steffie'

'LOL Steffie' 'Laughing out loud Steffie'?, what did she mean by that? Ah well, let's eat something first then I'll go home and go to the mall or something. Just when I'm about to enter the kitchen my phone rings. "Where did I put that thing?" I mutter searching for my phone, following the annoying sound. "Ah there it is!" I yelled in victory, running towards the couch, grabbing my blaring phone. "Naya speaking" I said with a big smile, not even looking at the caller. "Hey Naya" ugh it's Demi, my smile instantly disappeared, what does she want now. "Do you know that new assistant from Glee? The one that I saw a few days ago at your trailer. I mean obviously you know her since she's your assistant, but I mean do you know who she is? And how well do you know her?" she kept going. "Demi, why are you calling me to talk about Steffie? Of course I know who she is. And I think I'm starting to know her pretty well, why?" I asked, not really interested in what Demi had to tell me. "Well I was wondering if she could arrange something for me, since I used to work on set with you guys in the last season". "Demi whatever it is, I'm pretty sure your assistant can do that for you..." I replied in annoyance, suddenly feeling my phone vibrate, signalling I had a text. "Look Dems," I interrupted her next sentence," I have to go, talk to Nathalie about it" I ended the call and swiped the message open.

'Good morning, I hope you found the note, if not, it's on the bed next to you. Have a great day! LOL Steffie'

Again the LOL what is that? What could she mean by 'laughing out loud' and then her name? Anyway I finally stepped into the kitchen making breakfast, while it being lunch time already. "Hmm, I might as well make a quick lunch" I thought, picking my phone up again, dialling Heather's number;

H: You've reached Heather, you know what to do *beep*

N: What you've picked up after the second ring, how ca-

H: Gotcha! How are you Nay? Miss me already?

N: Oh god HeMo, don't be so childish

H: Pfft says you who –

N: I was going to say of course I missed you!

H: Good, because I missed you too and I think we have to catch up on things, isn't it?

N: W-What? How did you-?

H: Naya I know you too long for not knowing when something's up. So when and where do we meet?

N: Can we meet now? I haven't had anything to eat yet so?

H: Sleepyhead! But sure, I'll pick you up in 5, I was on my way anyway.

N: Oh um ok, but I'm not home, I'm at Steffie'. You know, our new assistant? I'll text you the address, see you soon.

I ended the call, quickly getting dressed, Heather would be here very soon, especially now she knew I was here at Steffie'. After sending the address I ran into the bathroom and did my morning routine before walking to the bedroom to put my clothes on. This is going to be an interesting talk, since she'll want to know every detail about me and Steffie.

Ten minutes later I heard a knock on the door, knowing it was Heather I just yelled at her, telling the door was open. Heather came in, smirking at me; "You work fast girl!" I was dumbfounded at her reaction. "H-Heather, I'm not dati-", "Don't worry Nay, I was kidding, I know about the breakup with Demi though, I just didn't expect you to be here" she interrupted, holding out her hands to point at the surroundings. Getting up I nodded knowing she was right; "I know, normally I'd be with you, but Steffie offered and I took the invitation. I couldn't be alone that night Heather, I just couldn't stand it!" She held her hands up, backing away a bit. "Wow, leave Snix in her cage please, I was just pointing out some things". Rolling my eyes, I grabbed my stuff and got ready to leave. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Let's go!"

Heather and I left to a nearby Starbucks, where I told her what happened since Demi and I officially became unofficial. "So she just asked you out and you went with her? Naya that's not you at all, what made you do that?" I shrugged, not really knowing the answer to that, I know I like Steffie, but could it change into love? "You're thinking out loud Nay and I'm sure if you went on a date or more than one actually then it could change into love. To be quite honest with you I think that's already happened with her" Heather said, taking a small sip from her drink. Letting her last sentence sink in, I looked up at her in disbelieve; "Wait, what did you just say? How do you know? You didn't ask her did you?" at this point I was just firing questions at Heather, but in the back of my mind I remembered something. In fact how could I forget? I hadn't slept because of it, Steffie had told me last night, maybe indirect, that she really liked me. All of a sudden my day was a bit brighter and a huge smile crept on my face. "Okay, what are you thinking about? Or should I say 'who'?" Heather laughed, playfully slapping my arm to bring me back to earth. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face when I told her what Steffie said last night.

"Naya, honestly girl, how can you forget these things? She practically told you last night she likes you, maybe love even, she left a note and she even sent you a text. Seriously Nay, you're missing the big 'I LOVE YOU NAYA'. Does she have to spell it out for you?" Heather fired at me, shaking her head. "That girl loves you, I know it, I can feel it" she added, putting her drink down, looking at me as if she was telling me 'watch my words' with her look. "Alright, alright, I believe you, but I can't ask her out. I mean what if Demi finds out? She'll be mad and hurt" I countered, trying not to think of me and Steffie dating. Not that the idea didn't appeal to me, but I was scared to be honest. I mean Steffie isn't a celebrity and I don't know if she can handle the paparazzi and the hate and everything that comes with fame. "Naya! Demi has hurt you so much! Damn it Naya she cheated on you with her ex!" "Like I didn't know that Heather! Thanks for reminding me!" I yelled back getting up from my seat, tears ready to leave my eyes. "She's hurt me a lot by doing that, even though my feelings for her were getting less and less, that doesn't change the fact that it hurts..." I bit, forcibly shoving my metal chair under the table before running out of the Starbucks shop and hailed a cab, since Heather drove us. I got in and told him my address, silently letting my tears roll down my cheeks.

As I arrived home I got a text from Heather saying she was sorry, but I ignored it. Changing into more comfortable clothes,I lied down on my couch and smoked a cigarette, listening to some slow and sad music to match my inner feelings. I knew I went out of line with Heather today,but she had to understand that it still hurt, this wasn't something that just happened one moment and was forgotten the next, no this is a progress and it needs time.

AN; I'm terribly sorry for the long wait. I've had a massive writers block and I fear it's not completely over yet. (Probably why I'm not exactly satisfied with this chappy, but I'm working on it!)
