"It's just nostalgia. It don't mean a thing. I'm just drinking and thinking about you. But this nostalgia, is making me miss that kiss; reminiscing about you" - Nostalgia by Vanessa White

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini as Savannah Brown
Savannah grabs a wine opener and pops the bottle of Pinot Noir open. She grabs a wine glass and pours a heavy glassful of the wine. She sits down on the couch and turns on the television. E! News comes on and she sees a picture of Russell Westbrook in the background.
"Oklahoma City Thunder point guard, Russell Westbrook, revealed on twitter today that his wife, Nina Earl, is expecting their first child. The tweet read 'Nina_Earl' and I are truly blessed to announce that we are expecting our first child! #DaddyWestbrook. Congratulations to Russell and his wife, Nina. I'm sure the two will be amazing parents," the news anchor smiles, reading from her teleprompter.
Savannah feels her heart ache at the mention of Russell and his wife. Many months ago, she had been involved with Russell and had fallen in love with him, even though she knew that he was married. She hoped that he would eventually leave Nina for her, but that never happened. Russell broke things off with her and told her that he would never leave his wife because he loves her.
She turns off the TV and turns on the speakers in her living room. She remembers how every song that would come on would be songs they would listen to together all the time. She remembers the many nights he spent with her just drinking and listening to music. She remembers how they would dance along to their favorite songs and how good it felt being in his company.
She continues to drink her wine as her mind wanders to all those amazing moments she spent with Russell and how she felt so in love with him. She notices that the more she drinks, the more she longs for him to be in her arms right now. But she knows, however, that he's most likely in his wife's arms right now in his house, spending time with her and their unborn child.
She knows that in the morning, she'll get over it and not remember anything about this night. She knows that she's slowly getting over him, but she can't help but miss and reminisce in the nights they would spend together. She can't help but think about the way he would kiss her and how one touch would have her weak at the knees. She hates the fact that he has this effect on her. What has he done to her?
She thought she was over him, especially because she realized that she had to move on from him. No matter what, he was never going to love her like she loved him. He was never going to leave Nina for her, so she had to accept it and move on.
She can't help and think about how pretty Nina is, especially since she managed to capture the heart and soul of Russell, which Savannah never could. The truth hurts that she was never pretty enough or good enough to capture Russ' heart. She was just his side chick. She was always the one he would turn to when he would have issues or fights with Nina.
The thing that makes it even worse is that she's drinking, thinking and crying over him while he's probably happy with his wife and she's probably not even on his mind. He probably has forgotten all about Savannah Brown, although she'll probably never forget Russell Westbrook.
