Ok so I have had a lot of spare time over the last few days so I have been doing some writing, I have mainly been focusing on Drowning but I had this idea whirling around my head so I started writing it on my iPad as it just needed to get out of my head. I guess there are some benefits to being poorly and off work.

This is the first chapter I have written and I am not sure whether I will continue it or not but here goes with this one...


Chapter one

Emily

I gazed across the campsite I couldn't take my eyes off the gorgeous blonde staying in the caravan opposite. I first spotted her yesterday, we arrived at about the same time and I know I have never even spoken to her just admired her from afar but she did something to my insides... It's hard to describe the feeling but it's like a swarm of butterflies in my stomach that I have no control over.

Anyway enough about that for now let me tell you a bit about myself. My name is Emily Fitch, I am 21 years old and have just finished university. I should probably also tell you I have a twin sister called Katie and a younger brother called James who is a complete pervert even at his young age. I am now a qualified teacher and start work at the local primary school in September so my plan was to relax and enjoy my summer before reality caught up with me. Well that was my plan until my mum and dad decided that we all had to come on this stupid family holiday, a holiday I knew would just end up in arguments. I know what you are probably thinking, I should give it a chance but let's just say I don't have the best relationship with my mum. I guess I should go into the details... When I was sixteen I had finally had enough of hiding who I really was from my family. Now is where I should probably tell you I am gay, I have known since I was about 12, anyway I told Katie the truth when we started college, all I can say is she didn't take it very well but once I proved to her that I was serious she came round to the idea and everything was good between us again. She had advised me not to tell our mum as we both knew what she could be like but after another couple of months of hiding myself from the rest of my family I finally snapped and I told everyone one night at dinner. James thought it was fucking fantastic and even had the cheek to ask if he could watch when I had a girlfriend, that comment earned him a slap round the back of his head from Katie. Dad was confused, I don't think he really understood it fully but if I was happy he was happy and my happiness was all that mattered to him. Then we come to my mum, let's just say she didn't take the news too well, in fact she flew off the handle, I could see the anger in her face as she ranted across the dinner table "This is all nonsense Emily, we are just going to forget about what you have just said and carry on with dinner, no daughter of mine is gay you just need to find the right boy to make you happy. Maybe your sister can help you with that, she is very popular with the males."

Katie had glanced at me across the table with a look that said 'leave it' but this time I knew I couldn't just leave it, I couldn't hide myself any longer I needed to be free to live how I wanted to without all the secrets. I left the house after that giving both mum and myself chance to cool down, things were frosty between us for a while and she couldn't accept what I was telling her but over time things got slightly better, she just kept her head up in the clouds and pretended it wasn't happening, she even kept trying to set me up with young boys from families she was friends with in the area. I just humoured her to keep the peace but that was getting extremely tiring now.

So here we are now in Cornwall on a campsite all five of us squashed into a caravan because mum and dad thought it would be fun. Let's just say fun was not the word I was using to describe it and it definitely wasn't Katie's idea of fun. She was off somewhere now probably trying to find some cute boys to shag, she did want me to go with her but I much prefer the view from where I am sitting right now, as soon as I had caught sight of this gorgeous blonde I couldn't help but think that maybe the next three weeks could be more fun than I thought, first things first though I needed to find an excuse to speak to her and second I needed to find out if she was on my side so to speak, I was seriously praying she was. As I sat discreetly watching her as I pretended to read the book I had in my hand she looked across at me and caught my gaze, I looked away embarrassed that she had caught me looking but as I took the chance to look back up again she was still looking over in my direction, she smiled, a smile I quickly returned a slight blush spreading over my cheeks as we held our gaze. I had to break the gaze as my mum appeared in the doorway of the caravan her Scottish accent breaking through my peace "Emily love can you come inside for a minute?"

I took a deep breath as I looked back to where the young blonde had been seconds earlier to find she was gone, I felt a slight sadness creep over me but I could sense mum was beginning to become impatient so I didn't think about it for too long as I closed my book putting it down on the table as I followed mum inside the caravan "What is it mum, I was enjoying that book."

A thin smile crept across her lips "I wanted to talk to you about tonight."

I didn't have a clue what she was talking about and I'm not sure I really wanted to hear what was coming next but I knew I wouldn't be allowed to leave until she had said her bit "Why what's happening tonight?"

She continued to smile which was beginning to give me the creeps "We are having a BBQ love with some friends that are staying at a campsite down the road, they have a lovely young lad we think you will get along with."

I rolled my eyes "Mum how many times do I have to go through this with you, I am gay, I like sex with girls and nothing is going to change that. Will you stop wasting your time and the time of poor young lads that think they have a chance of getting into my knickers because it's not going to happen."

Her smile had disappeared now "Emily do you have to be so crude, you know this is just a phase."

My own anger was rising inside now "I will stop being so crude when you accept me for who I am. This is not just a phase, I have known I am gay for 9 years now and nothing is going to change how I feel so fucking get over it."

With that I turned and stormed back outside, I couldn't stay around here at the moment I was so sick of having the same fight with her. I slammed the door shut behind me and ran, I wasn't really aware of anything around me until I finally stopped running. I had made it to the beach, it was so peaceful down here, thankfully we weren't near the busiest spots as I couldn't handle that right now. I sat down on one of the nearby rocks and finally my tears escaped, they came in floods just pouring down my cheeks. I have no idea how long I sat there everything seemed a bit if a blur. It was only when I felt someone sit down next to me I finally looked up and took proper note of my surroundings, I smiled slightly as I saw it was the gorgeous blonde from across the campsite sitting by my side. My breath caught in my throat as she returned my smile and gently wiped the tears from my cheeks "I saw you running from your caravan looking upset, I wanted to check you were ok."

I smiled "That's sweet but you don't even know me."

She laughed and my heart fluttered "Well I'm hoping I can change that. I'm Naomi by the way."

I continued to smile "Emily and it's nice to meet you." I paused "So Naomi tell me about yourself."

She looked out to the ocean "Well there's not much to tell really I'm 21 years old and have just finished university, you are looking at a newly qualified journalist who starts her new job in September. I am away with my mum and her husband, it's not really my idea of holiday fun but hey it's three weeks away from daily life." She thought for a second "So what about you Emily, what brings you here?"

I chuckled "My parents, again not really my idea of fun but things are looking up now." I blushed slightly before continuing to tell Naomi a little more about myself. We fell into an easy conversation and it almost felt like we had known each other a while, the conversation became a little more uncomfortable when Naomi asked her next question "Emily I hope you don't mind me asking but what had you so upset earlier, I heard the raised voices before you took off."

I shook my head slightly "It's ok I don't mind you asking, you just might not like what I have to say." I paused slightly "Well I guess the first thing is you should know is I am gay." I watched for any kind of reaction but she didn't even flinch so I continued "Let's just say my mum doesn't agree with it, she thinks I am going through a phase and keeps trying to set me up on unsuspecting boys, personally I think nine years is a pretty long phase."

She laughed "Nothing you have said Emily has offended me. I'm guessing you knew from an early age then?"
I nodded "Yeah since I was 12."

She smiled "Well if you don't mind me saying then your mum sounds like a bit of a bitch for not accepting you for you. Thankfully my mum is a more accepting, she didn't even flinch when I told her I was gay she just smiled and said love is love Naomi regardless of whether it is a male or a female. I just want you to be happy."

I was a little surprised "Yes well that's my mother for you." I stopped my brain catching up slightly "Wait hang on did you just say you are gay too?"

She laughed a little "Yeah." She paused "That's not a problem is it."

I shook my head "No, not at all if I'm completely honest I was kind of hoping you would be. You've been driving me crazy since I first saw you yesterday."

She smiled "Same, I just needed to find a way to talk to you."

I returned her smile "Same."

She glanced across at me and I could see she was nervous "So what now, I know we have only just met but I like you Emily."

I smiled my heart beating rapidly "I like you too Naomi so how about a date."

Her eyes sparkled "I'd like that... Are you free tonight?"

A sadness overcame me "Unfortunately not." I paused as a thought rushed through my mind "Actually my mum is throwing a BBQ tonight, another one of her set ups but why don't you join us and bring your mum and her husband too."

She nodded "Ok sounds like it could be fun, are you sure your mum won't mind?"

I grimaced slightly "She will probably moan and complain but only because I plan on spending all my time with you and not on who she wants me to." I noticed then that Naomi looked a little hurt "Oh shit sorry that came out wrong I promise you I am not doing this to wind my mum up I want to spend time with you, in fact I very much want to spend time with you."

She smiled slightly "And winding your mum up in the process is an added bonus."

I nodded "Well yeah it is but I promise that wasn't my intention when I..."

She cut me off with a kiss and fuck me it was a good kiss, my heart was beating so quickly when she pulled away, I managed to utter a few words "Wow... Just wow."

She smiled "I believe you Emily and I will be there and if I get to kiss you like that again that's just an added bonus."

I leant forward slightly to kiss her again "You can kiss me like that anytime you want."

She slipped her hand into mine and pulled me up from the rock we were sitting on "Come on let me walk you back I have a BBQ to get ready for."

I couldn't help but smile I know I had only just met Naomi but I could tell there was something special about her. We chatted on the walk back about life in general really and as soon as we reached the campsite I could see my mum looking out from the caravan door, Naomi must have felt me tense slightly and looked over in the direction of the caravan I was staying in "I'm guessing that is your mum."

I sighed "Yeah being as fucking nosy as ever."

We walked a little further before Naomi smirked and swung me into her arms and pressed her lips against mine, I responded instantly and could honestly say I never wanted this moment to end. As we eventually pulled apart I could feel my mums eyes burning into us, Naomi smiled as she gazed into her eyes "I can feel a hole burning into the back of my top."

I laughed "That's my mum for you."

She gently stroked my cheek "I knew she was watching that's why I kissed you, not that I wouldn't have done anyway but she should accept you for you, plus any excuse to feel your lips against mine again."

I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her in for another kiss. When we broke apart again she smiled "Would you like to come over to my caravan and have a drink?"

I smiled "I'd love to. Are you sure your mum won't mind?"

Naomi laughed "Mum won't mind at all, come on."

She slipped her hand into mine and led me towards her caravan. I saw my mum take a step towards us anger filling her eyes but thankfully my dad stopped her from coming over and I faintly heard him say "Leave her alone Jenna, she is gay that is something you are just going to have to accept or you are going to lose her for good. Let our girl be happy."

I flashed my dad a smile and mouthed thanks as mum retreated but although she may have given up this time I knew deep down this wouldn't be the end of it.

Naomi kissed my cheek "You ok?"

I smiled slightly "Yeah, she just rattles me sometimes. I don't get why she can't just leave me alone."

She hugged me close "You sure you want to do this, I love my mum but she can be a little full on sometimes."

I smiled "She can't be as bad as my mum."

She kissed the top of my head "From what I've seen no."

I slipped my hand into Naomi's again and she led me into the caravan, I know this might seem daft as we have only just met but being with her and kissing her felt so right. She indicated for me to sit down as her mum popped her head out the bedroom "Is that you Naomi love?"

Naomi smiled "Yeah."

I heard some shuffling around as her mum finished what she was doing "I'll be out in a minute love, put the kettle in will you."

Naomi rolled her eyes but I could see her smiling at the same time "Can I get you a tea or coffee Emily?"

I smiled "I'd love a coffee please."

It was then that an older blonde women came bustling into the kitchen "How's that drink..."

She trailed off when she saw me sitting at the table "Oh hello love, are you a friend of Naomi's."

I nodded "Yeah, well I think so we've only just met."

Naomi laughed "Yes she is mum and I'm hoping she might become more so be nice." She looked to me "Emily this is my mum Gina Campbell, mum this is Emily."

I held out my hand to hers and smiled "Nice to meet you Mrs Campbell."

Gina smiled softly "Call my Gina love."

We all sat around the table after Naomi had made us all a drink when it suddenly dawned on me, I turned to Naomi "Hang on does that mean you are called Naomi Campbell?"

I held Naomi's hand as she blushed slightly "Yeah unfortunately my mum thought it would be a nice name."

I smiled "It is a nice name and for the record you are so much better looking than the other Naomi Campbell."

She looked surprised "You are the first person not to have laughed about it."

I smiled "There is nothing to laugh about, a name is a name and it's not as if you chose it yourself."

Naomi leant over slightly and kissed me softly "I have a feeling you are going to become a very special part of my life."

I squeezed her hand "I hope so, I really hope so."

Naomi turned to her mum who had her eyebrows raised "Who are you and what have you done with my daughter."

Naomi rolled her eyes "Oh whatever mum, anyway Emily's family are having a BBQ later on today and Emily has invited me as well as you and Kieran."

Gina smiled "Oh that sounds lovely we will be there love."

I returned her smile "Great, we are in the caravan just across the way."


An hour or so later I had reluctantly decided I should make my way back over to our family caravan, Naomi had stepped outside with me and pulled me into my arms as I started to walk away and kissed me softly. As we pulled apart she leant her head against mine "I don't think I'll ever get tired of doing that."

I smiled softly "Same. I really better go now though as much as I don't want to."

She kissed me softly once more "I will see you in a couple of hours."

I returned her kiss "I'm looking forward to it already."

We shared one last kiss before I finally walked away across the grass. I could feel Naomi's eyes burning into the back of me and as I reached the door of the caravan I turned around and smirked before blowing her a kiss and disappearing inside not knowing what I was about to face but right now not actually caring.
