Lots readers mailed me and asked for Emily's story, how, why and when she fell for Naomi. I'm aware that the way the sequel is going might be a bit confusing for you, but I'll try clearing it up in the next chapter. Until then, here's is part 1 of Emily's 3 part story.

Have fun and tell me what you think, otherwise I wont be motivated continuing the next parts. ;)

"Hey, can I get you a drink? You've been sitting here all alone for almost an hour, I thought I'll see if you'd like some company." The pretty dark blonde about twenty-five years old shrugged with an easy smile directed at the redhead occupying a booth on her own.

Raising a brow the twin bit her lip, her eyes screaming that she was up to something. "Perhaps I've been stood up and try not to be swallowed by unbearable pain, which would make you a pretty horrible and rude person, pointing out the lack of company I'm here with. Or, perhaps I've been thinking that I wont give in that easy today and see who's really interested in me, instead of only fucking me against a wall as long as I smile and look pretty."

Throwing her head back the blonde chuckled, completely caught of guard by the no-bullshit attitude. "I certainly shall hope you were glaring at everyone for your science project then, sounds more promising than me coming off as a rude bitch." She reached out her hand and squeezed the twin's when it was placed into hers. "I'm Bex, very pleased meeting you."

Furrowing her brows the redhead shrugged, thinking fuck it, and let her lips form into an small smile. "Emily. After you'll bring me a new pint I'll be asking you if you come here often, you should get ready for that." They shared a chuckle and Bex went to get the drinks before returning and getting into the seat in front of Emily, even though the girl was patting the spot right next to her. "Sorry Emily, not that kind of a girl, you haven't even asked me yet if I come here often, how can you expect me to share a bench with you?"

The redhead let out another chuckle, surprised to find herself enjoying the easy banter with the strange girl. It had been quite some time since she enjoyed anything.

Leaning over the table separating them, Emily licked her lips and stared into blue eyes. "I apologise for my twatness, been quite some time since I tried to charm a girl. Might be a bit out of practise, but I promise if you bear with me I'll make it worth your while."

Eyeing the tragically sad eyes of the redhead Bex bit her lip, deeply in thought. She wondered why this beautiful woman looked as if she had forgotten how it felt to be happy. "Long relationship over?"

With a nod a breathy 'yeah' left Emily's red lipstick lips. "Almost thirteen years."

Bex gulped in shock of that sentence, she couldn't imagine someone that young being in such an long relationship, let alone live through the breakup. "Dont look at me like that, believe me I am not the victim in this. I've fucked up, royally, and now I've lost everything I ever had."

"Happened recently?"

"Almost seven months ago."

They watched each other, sizing one another up, until Bex nodded and drank half of her pint in one go. "Call me crazy, or maybe a freaking romantic, but you Emily, your eyes show sadness I've never seen on anyone. I know that's probably like off limits when you try to bed a fit girl, but I am dying of curiosity. And you certainly look like you need to let it out, talk about it."

Emily laughed, humourlessly, and sipped on her pint. "It wont change shit, no matter how often I talk about it. It wont change the fact that I have destroyed six lives. Doesn't matter how I tell it, I always end up the bad guy."

Biting her lip Bex shrugged, like it actually didn't matter. "So? I wont try to take your side just because I met you instead of the other five people. I just think...that you deserve to feel it too. Even if you are the bad guy, you can still fucking suffer and you are, obviously, but I assume no one gives a shit. No one stops to take a second and let you feel it without accusing you of destroying lives. No one cares, the way you don't."

For a moment Emily was left speechless and she kept blinking with nothing to say, no one has every tried this approach with her, no one cared enough. And Emily wouldn't sit alone in her bedroom feeling sorry for herself, not when it was her own damn fault. It felt like she didn't deserve to feel sorry for what she's lost. "Actually I came here to meet some fit girl to get laid. A night of raw, passionate sex."

Shaking her head with a smirk Bex gave her an 'yeah sure' look. "Nope, yesterday, the day before that and all of last week you came here to find a girl for the night. Today, as you said yourself, you kept glaring at everyone and didn't put on your charms at all, call me stupid but I think that is a fucking big give away that you need to talk. Not even about that, that's just me being curious, but you long for a connection with someone that goes beyond awkward mornings and fleeing some girl's bed."

"And if I am not the girl that longs for connections and really just want to get laid?" Emily countered without missing a beat, Bexes' analysing was hitting home too close.

"Then you wouldn't have been in an relationship for thirteen years." Seeing the redhead shut up, Bex smirked suggestively. "I'll make you a deal, listen very carefully Emily, this might end as the best night you've had in seven months."

"I'm listening."

"We have two more pints each, take five shots, go to the loo and powder our noses with some coke my ex gave me for the night and then we dance, drink, have fun. At some point, the point where we'll be talking a mile the minute, we'll leave and go to yours, keep drinking and we'll talk. You'll get it all off your chest, and when you're done I promise you hours long raw, passionate, laid getting."

"What's in it for you?" Emily asked, genuinely confused. She was answered with a loud laugh coming out of Bexes' throat. "What I've wanted since I saw you walk in and target the blonde sitting by the bar last Wednesday...hours of raw, passionate, laid getting Emily. As a bonus I'll discover the reason for the sadness your eyes carry."

Clicking her tongue Emily shrugged, faking nonchalance. "Whatever."

It surprised the redhead to no end that she was quite enjoying her deal with Bex. They had drank almost every shot possible, from Tequila to some herbal stuff that left a disgusting taste in Emily's throat for hours. At one point they were running around the club asking people for nose spray because no powder would make it up their noses any more after emptying a four gram bag. Good two hours later they had danced like their life depended on it, going from trance beats to ballads they would shout the words along to. They shared some kisses after snorting another round of lines, after grinding and almost putting on too much of a show for the audience, and also after they left at three am when Emily almost beat up a girl for starting a fight over two spilled drinks.

On their way to Emily's they laughed, jumped around and kept talking to every stranger they met. "Oh my god, you're so pretty. What's your name?" Bex asked a girl who wasn't older than twenty, she was with a couple other girls walking on the same side of the pavement.

"Arsia, and thank you, I am flattered but also really taken." The young girl smiled and swatted her friend's hand away trying to get her moving forwards. "Awe, she's not up for grabs any more Emily. What a pity right?"

Emily shrugged with a deadly serious face, crossing her arms over her chest as she kept glaring at the girl. "Not my type." She spat. "Also, if you still count on raw, passionate, laid getting you might reconsider chatting up kids right in front of my fucking eyes."

Forming her dark painted lips into a shocked 'oh' Bex lightly punched Emily's shoulder. "How can she not be your type? She is like, gorgeous! Proper heroin, rock chick style yeah? And just look at'er legs."

"You're making her uncomfortable." Emily sniggered when the girl's eyes widened and her friends exploded in laughter. "And actually, she kinda was exactly my type. Bex, meet an Effy wannabe." She gestured towards the very drunk, very cheap version of an younger Effy.

"What's an Effy? If sweet Arsia here is a wannabe I sure as fuck want the original."

Pushing out her chest automatically, almost proudly, Emily smirked lopsidedly. "Effy, love, is the hottest thing on this planet. She invented using shirts as dresses and was the first one who banned trousers from the wardrobe. My girlfriend."

"Effy Stonem?" Arsia exclaimed, bouncing on her heels like a little kid. Emily's brows furrowed but she nodded any way, if a little bewildered. "Oh my god, like, comparing me to Effy is so fucking awesome. She is like, like whatever she touches, rips looks like fucking magic on her. Showed me how to make my own fishnet tights when I was little, didn't she."

"You know her?" Bex asked a little too loud, her own excitement growing and making her almost exploded along with Emily and Arsia when the girl nodded. "Sure do. She lived like ten minutes away before she fucked off to god knows where. My brother was dating her at the time, along with like, half the town's girls and boys. I think I saw her two weeks ago at Camden's High Street with a blonde. I was in my mum's car though, couldn't see them clearly but either it was her or someone who's a spitting image of her." Something seemed to pop into her mind. "Wait, you said girlfriend. Effy's turned gay?"

Seeing the shock Emily's expression showed, Bex decided it was time for them to leave. Before she could pull her away though, the redhead almost cried out a question. "Was the blonde okay?"

Bex saw the red-head's eyes change, they went from excited/confused to pained in a flashed and she could swear, it was more than only heartbreak. After Arsia mentioned the blonde, Bex had first thought that this Effy girl had cheated on Emily and had the girl think all of it was her fault. But now, the way her eyes and expression betrayed her and how she didn't seem to notice or mind it made her reconsider her theory. Obviously Emily held strong feelings towards the blonde.

"How should I know? Like I said a minute ago" Arsia huffed. "I was in the car, couldn't see them well, could I?"

Before Emily could have asked another question Bex excused them and pulled the girl along towards the apartment complex Emily told her she lived in. "So, Effy huh?"

"She's amazing, pretty fucking special, Effy is. Her mind isn't like it should, she's seeing, hearing and feeling things differently and has always to fight demons. But from the moment I saw her for the first time I was absolutely drawn to her. Katie and I were taking care of her, she moved to our street when we got back from boarding school for our A-Levels. Whenever she'd have another episode brought out by what they first thought was a psychosis, we'd help her. I'd bring, and do her homework, clean the place, make her food, just had the urge to keep her alive you know. Katie was different though, she was always more 'straight forwards' if you get what I mean. There is no sugar coating with her, one quality I hate and love the most about her. With Katie you get what you see, and if you are anything else than what you're showing, you can go fuck yourself. I think it surprised to me to no end when Effy, Effy who couldn't feel shit, decided she was in love with her. It felt off you know? I don't know. Of course she wasn't as in love with her as she and we thought, it was clear that she would go for it and see if it'd work out obviously, but she was also fine with leaving it. And after we kissed, I knew I'd never stop taking care of her, protecting her, helping her stay alive. We fit so beautifully Bex, it was really like a fucking Hollywood type of romance. Sure, we fought like cats and dogs, we threw shit at each other, we cried and went mental but we always stayed strong because we never doubted our love. It was priority and we sorta grew into the relationship, grew up together. I was sixteen when it happened, fucking young for such an arse long period of time if you ask me, and we've had loads to learn but we were so fucking happy. All the time, even at our worst we were still happy that we'd had each other."

"What's changed?"

"Katie."

"Your sister?"

"My twin, yeah. Katie turned out to be Effy's everything, so much more than a lover ever could, she was her person, her best friend. She'd scoff if she heard me say that, for her best friend doesn't cover what kind of bond they had."

"Had?"

"Told you I've fucked up six lives good and proper, didn't I. Because of me, Effy's lost me, and she's lost Katie. The two people who were always by her side when the rest of the world threw shit at her and tried to lock her away so they wouldn't have to pretend being worried relatives. But anyway, Effy and I were living together when Katie got pregnant by a footsie player. It was a one nighter though, and she insisted on doing this alone without Danny, she didn't want this stranger to fuck up her miracle, the most precious thing she ever had and loved, Bence. I moved out so she could live with Effy, she needed her best friend and I was at their place all the time so it didn't make much difference but Katie's flat was too small for a baby and she couldn't afford something else. Our parents cut her off when she dropped out of uni and decided to blow all the money on a world trip. She was too proud to ask for a fucking quid afterwards. Worked her arse off at Tesco's for years to cover the bills and get food on the table for Bence. She was lonely though, not a lot of young, twenty year old blokes fancy a girl with a kid, not for longer than a night. Until she almost ran over a girl on the street. Her and Effy were driving Bence to daycare in the morning and a girl ran in front of her car to get the bus. My very supposedly straight sister was crushing really badly on her. She got the girl's number after they gave her a ride to her mum's pub she was working at. Long story short that's how Naomi came into our life."

"And you fell for her, right away?" "No." A gentle smile appeared on the redheads face as they walked up the stairs to her front door, walking up the stairs she led them into her flat. "She was perfect...for Katie. Bence loved her to bits, she adored him and she was crazy about my sister. They've always had a very rocky relationship, one catastrophe following the next. It seems like they just cant catch a breath. But Naomi stayed, in fact she's still with them and not only have they both graduated uni, got another child, moved here to London, they also do what they've always dreamed of for a living. At least Katie is, but Naomi is fucking ecstatic about which way her career turned out to go too. Katie's always wanted to own a store in Camden Town, selling, making, and buying everything she can get her hands on. Since we were in Germany one time and she saw a store like that in a part of Hamburg she's always wanted to have one. She does now. They went through hell juggling Katie's classes, taking care of Bence and keeping their relationship on track. Then there were both their shifts at Naomi's mum's pub, well Naomi was working her arse off when Katie was up to her eyeballs in papers and course work. They lived above the pub in a flat of their own, Gina, Naomi's ma, switched flats with them when they moved in, needed more space than her. All of it almost broke them. Financially, mentally, emotionally and physically."

Kicking their shoes off they slipped out of the jackets and coats. Emily walked to the stereo and put on some music while Bex lit a fag and got comfortable on the floor with her back against the sofa. "You got any alc here?" She called towards the redhead who's busy running her fingers over old record covers, undecided to pick one. She was in the mood for true music. "Yeah, just go to the kitchen and look above the table." Finally choosing Janis Joplin's Greatest Hits, a proper 70's copy Naomi had given her for her 24th birthday along with paying the bill to get her old record player fixed. The blonde had gone too far, appearing at the twins party with Cook and another bloke carrying two huge speakers, and a Hi-Fi rack bigger than Emily.

"You cant be serious!" Emily screeched with saucer wide eyes, staring helplessly at the huge speakers covering half of her sitting room. "This costed a fortune Naomi, I cant accept that. Katie help!"

But her lovely twin just smirked, automatically leaning a little closer into a kneeling Naomi as she watched her help Cook setting up the Hi-Fi rack. "Oh, you think she's gonna let that crap be anywhere else except for where she wants it? Deal with it Ems, Naomi's on a mission to break your eardrums." There was a teasing glint in her eyes and she dodged Naomi's half arsed slap to her calf easily, patting her blonde head which was by her hips. "Heard that, bitch. But seriously babe, tell her how amazing the records sound played through that system." Naomi's mumbling was met with an eye-roll from Katie and a fish like expression from the other birthday girl. "Katie!"

"All right, all right" The twin huffed, mockingly rolling her eyes again before she turned serious,"It's true though, she's tried it all out at home and I've never liked ACDC as much as then. It does sound fucking brilliant, you'll be well thankful when you hear what else she got you." Just when Emily wanted to blurt out how she couldn't take any more gifts from the blonde, Naomi got to her feet after Cook put his thumbs up, and placed a record on top of the turntable. She was grinning like a naughty kid when she turned back to the twins, almost bouncing on the spot of excitement.

" Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waiting for a train
And I's feeling nearly as faded as my jeans.
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained,
It rode us all the way to New Orleans."

"Happy 24th birthday Fitchy," Naomi mumbled into Emily's neck when she had attacked her in the kitchen a couple hours later, finally it was her turn to congratulate her friend. Sadly there were so many people who wanted her attention that Emily hadn't had much time left to spend with the blonde, her sister or her girlfriend. They were around and involved into everything but it wasn't like they'd stand and chat all night. "wish you at least four more of them, got loads of brill ideas which records I wanna give you." Drunk, with pills and powder running where her blood should, Emily was staring at the blonde gob smacked, speechless. She was wearing a white vest, her tanned skin a great contrast to it and the loose black calf long sport shorts she'd changed into after spilling Bacardi all over her dress,fit her better than anything Emily's ever seen her in. Combined with her messy locks, every trace of the fancy hairdo she's arrived with long gone made the twin almost recoil, had Naomi always looked that effortlessly pretty? Her big, blue-grey eyes were shining and they were glassy, huge pupils, giving them an almost beaming effect. "What?" Naomi grinned at the staring twin, staring to rub her face in fear of something sticking to it, or drugs included sweat. Wiping the spot under her nose like crazy she giggled. Emily took a hold of her hands and smiled gently, shaking her head. "You look fine."

Listening to old records and talking a mile the minute the girls were sitting on the floor, smoking. "That's the first time you realised that you'd like to bang her?"

Tutting Emily rolled her eyes, mumbling into her beer. "It wasn't like that...I had no idea, Effy figured it out."

"You had no idea? Girl, you've been perving on her then, like, ready to throw her against a" Brown eyes widened in shock and Emily clamped her hand over Bexes' mouth, stopping her from finishing the sentence. "You cant say it like that, it sounds dirty."

"Babe, it is dirty. She's your twin's lover."

"She's sooo much more." She sighed and rubbed her hands on her thighs, her jaw clenching like every time when she was on amphetamine. "You have no idea."

"Well, if you want to get into my knickers any time soon you should start from the beginning babes. I'm well curious and ready to write poems about her, she's like this beautiful myth right now so you better spill before I go looking for her out of curiosity." With a giggle Emily remembered back, her high mind allowing her to remember every detail without making her feel like dying.

The day they met up at the park with Naomi for the first time/ time lapses to the pasts past

As every week, Emily was wiping the last table with a smile, in her mind she was already at the playground playing with her nephew. Effy had texted her, saying that she was going to be late and that Katie would pick Emily up from work. Not even that could darken the good mood she was in.

Her sister, Katie Fitch had it bad for a girl and that was a serious reason to walk around smiling like a monk.

Katie was, Emily thought for the correct adjective to describe her difficult sister who had a heart made of pure gold, difficult. Yes, difficult fitted her twin quite nicely. They had always been close, ever since their parents got them their own rooms, they'd often sleep together in one of them. Later, when they were shipped off to a catholic boarding school, right after they turned nine, they had a stronger bond than ever before. They hadn't shared a room, or even wing at school, making it all the more important and fun to hang around each other. They had each their own group of mates, especially as teenagers, but always found a common ground.

When Emily had decided to crawl out of that closet she so desperately tried to hide in, Katie had been great. She had been aware of her sister's sexual preferences long before Emily could have suspected anything, apparently everyone was let in into that big secret except for Emily herself. When it happened, when Effy had happened, everything changed and all of them had to get used to this new situation as it was different to what they were used and quite difficult not to forget that Katie needed her sister as well as her best friend too. They needed some time to figure out the best way to deal with it, but in the end they were better than ever.

One time, at some random kid's party at boarding school, Emily caught her twin getting quite, cosy with another student, Ashley. She had always suspected there could had happened more than just a couple weeks of innocent teenage love if their parents hadn't decided they needed to attend college back home or at least in Brighton.

Katie had cried, she hadn't cried for a good friend she was going to miss, she had cried for almost four months over a love she had missed out on.

After that, girls were out of question for the always skankier getting teenager, who was busy whoring her way through Bristol's beds.

"Wow, she sounds lovely." Bex commented with a lopsided grin and twinkling eyes, showing Emily that Katie sounded everything but lovely in the story. Slapping her thigh the twin rolled her eyes and defended her obnoxious sister. "She's got the biggest heart, Bex, and Katie is one of the few who don't cover up, she is what she is and she is fucking brilliant at it."

One big thing followed the next, and Emily had forgotten to see how lonely her sister was. First there were only hook ups, week long affairs and one nighties, then there was Danny and then, then Bence. It didn't get better, it went all tits up where Katie's love life was concerned. She had met quite a few nice blokes, some stayed for months, others fucked off silently in the morning when they heard the baby wake up, but in the end Katie was left alone.

So when Emily had gotten home (to Effy and Katie's) after her arse long shift that night after Katie had met Naomi, her face broke out in a huge smile seeing her sister.

Katie had been blushing furiously, sitting on their kitchen counter with Effy and Bence pointing fingers at her and dancing, chanting; "Ma loves Naomi", "Ma wants to kiss Naomi", "Ma wants Naomi's babies" and so on. Emily had raised a brow and chuckled, getting in line with her girlfriend and nephew to tease her obviously guilty sister after she planted a soft kiss on Effy's sweet lips. "Who's Naomi then?"

"Naomi, my love, is a girl your sister wants to B.A.N.G.." Effy had answered with a shit eating grin, spelling out the last word so Bence wouldn't understand.

Sure, they cursed around him, but the occasional fuck stood in no comparison to mama wants to bang Naomi. "She does, huh? Hot, Katie, I'm impressed, where'd you find her? She hot? I bet she's got a killer pair o S."

Katie's foot met Emily's stomach hard as she swung it. "You're such a bloke." The embarrassed twin muttered, the blush still covering her neck. After some more teasing and blackmail she finally relented and mumbled her response. "Fine, if you must know you horny bitch, I found her in front of my car, that stupid skank almost made me run her over."

"She hot?" Emily wriggled her brows at the same time as Effy smirked knowingly, making Katie groan. " Yes, I guess she's kinda hot. If you're into dumb blonde's who run across the streets without looking and then stare at you like monks then yes, she's hot. And for your information; I have no idea how her rack is, haven't looked, have I? And I wont so shut your mouths already, I'm not calling her." Jumping off the counter she threw her hand up in frustration. "You're so infuriating. God, don't you have a fucking life?"

Emily thought that this Naomi was going to be nothing but a nice distant memory for Katie because her sister was deadly serious about not calling her. So her brows almost vanished when a second text followed the original one, this one sent by her panicked sister, stating that Katie's needed to call Naomi, that she would go mad if she didn't and that she was on her way to pick Emily up so she'd slap that idea out of her head.

"So you knew about Naomi but didn't think she'd last?"

"Hell no. Katie was moping around for fucking weeks but I was sure she'd never call. She did though, and I think that call has changed our fucking lives without us knowing."

"I bet. You went to meet her then?"

"Yeah. But that comes later. First she picked me up so I'd get the idea out of her head, knock it down til she would be thinking Naomi wasn't worth her time."

"I'm off for today." Emily smiled at her boss, Jeff, and went to change out of her black uniform. She smoked a fag outside while waiting and before she could finish it, Katie was honking the poor neighbourhood down. "All right, all right. I have eyes, I can fucking see you, yeah? Stop being embarrassing." Emily glared at her still honking sister.

It was hell, watching Katie pace around the kitchen, which wasn't that big to begin with, with the phone clutched to her chest. "Kay, we're watching the phone for almost an hour now. Why don't you just call her?"

Brown eyes, an identical mirror image of hers, turned and flashed in anger. "Because Emily, that's not something I should do, is it? Yeah she's well fit, but then what? You have no fucking idea. Have you ever lived through heartbreak or even loneliness? No, because as soon as you discovered what the world knew from the start, that you're the queen of pussies, you've found the perfect pussy and haven't let go yet." Manicured fingers dragged through messy hair. "I'm scared."

Sighing Emily decided to let all the insults her sister so freely fired pass, she was right after all and worse, she was really trying to overcome her fear of pain and rejection. So, a couple well formed sentences, wisely used words and phrases and they were sat in the car on their way to the park to meet Naomi.

"She called then?"

"Yes." Rolling a bill Emily leaned down and snorted four lines, throwing her head back with a grimace. She hated the taste of powder running down her throat. Bex wanted to know if Naomi had been 'game' when her sister called her up. "Oh fuck yes, she made a total twat out of herself, god she's so fucking awkward when she meets people." A gentle smile was playing on her lips of its own, betraying the harsh words she tried to spit out. "Emily, you don't have to pretend, okay? Not with me, I don't care. You can care about her, you can feel for her, and you can fucking swoon, that's what you've been doing anyway. So just go with it."

They drove in silence, only Bence was entertaining them with his cute little baby words. Katie was nervous, tapping her fingers on the steering wheel and looking around wildly, while Emily just observed the uncommon behaviour with a confused expression. She had never seen her sister that way before. "Are you okay?" She asked gently but Katie shook her head. "No, think I should cancel? I mean, fine lets say we get on yeah? Tomorrow she'll fuck off any way, or the first time Bence burbs on her. Lets face it, I'm no girlfriend material, not even hook up material any more."

"Shut up Katie, you know that's not true. You just haven't found the right person yet, get a bit faith, be brave for once in your life, and you'll see everything will work out perfectly."

Minutes later Katie was playing catch with Bence on the grass, while Emily simply sat there enjoying the afternoon sun. Her eyes widened when she saw a blonde girl, that wasn't unusual, but her sister in a ducked position, running right into her was.

Emily got to her feet in a flash and tried to get there as fast as possible, before Katie could harm the stranger for being knocked to the ground by Katie. Yes, that was the logic the older twin thought was correct. Running towards them, Emily had to blink twice as she got to see the blonde's face, it was beautiful. A beautiful woman was staring at her sister like she was mesmerised, that was a reason to worry because Katie wasn't that keen on girls hitting on her.

So, with a hiss Emily tried to get her sister's attention before she could rip the girl apart. "Katie, fuck's sake, I told you thousand times to fucking stop running into people!"

Katie shook her head and composed herself before letting go of the blonde's forearms. "Are you all right?" Asked Emily with a frown and pushed Katie out of the way to get a better look at the beautiful blonde. "Sorry about her. She thinks the world revolves around her. Are you hurt?" The girl coughed before answering with a friendly smile. "No, I'm fine. I'm

Naomi. You must be Emily."

Laughing, Bex clapped her hands and bounced around on her butt. "Oh my god, there! That's when you decided you wanted to play hide and seek with her."

With a groan Emily buried her head between her up bend knees. "Dont talk like that, it's embarrassing."

"Fine, that's the time you realised you've been with the wrong girl forever."

"No." Emily's voice was firm and she was as sincere as she could, it was the truth after all. "I was never with the wrong girl, Bex and I might be high as a fucking kight right now but if you say another nasty thing about Effy I'll kick you out after punching that smirk off your face."

It was a split-second full of tension and aggressions but eventually Bex nodded, promising to stop talking badly about Emily's ex. "Sorry Bex, it just...it's hard not to start screaming with blazing guns when someone says something bad about her. For the bigger part of the life I remember it's been my job to protect her, cant shut it off just like that." She smiled apologetically, not wanting to get into a fight with the girl she'd like to fuck later. "Forgive me?" She was leaning up and smirked when a eye-rolling kiss was placed upon her lips. "I will, but only if you tell me what's been running through your mind when you talked to Naomi for the first time."

Chuckling, Emily responded, stroking her fingers over the girl's slender neck. When she was high she always got quite touchy feely. "Back then I was just looking at a beautiful girl who was fascinated by my sister. A really gorgeous girl but I didn't have any weird thoughts if you mean that."

Shaking Emily's hand, Naomi risked a look at Katie.

She was looking at her outfit, making Katie glare as she thought Naomi didn't like what she was wearing. Even though the new girl grinned after her eyes landed on the beat up Chuck's on Katie's feet.

"What? I need to have comfortable shoes when I'm playing with Bence, yeah? Can't fucking break my feet running around in high heels. Sorry if that's not enough girly shit for you but you don't look like you've made that much of an effort either." Emily's eyes widened amusingly in horror after realizing that Naomi was actually Katie's date and the horrible way her sister talked to her to. "Oh my god, Katie shut the fuck up, will you? You'll make her leave!" Emily hissed and elbowed Katie.

She was scared the pretty girl would run away screaming murder if Katie wouldn't stop being a bitch.

"I didn't say anything about your Chucks, did I? I like them. I was just surprised about you being comfortable enough to meet me like this. And that's a very good thing Katiekins." Emily smirked at a grinning Naomi, who was obviously checking out her sister and had the proper comebacks to stand her ground. She had to admit, not many had enough character to be able deal with Katie, she was impressed. She didn't need any help, nope, Naomi was perfectly capable of handling her sister and the wink she send Emily made her explode in laughter, yes, she liked the girl.

"You see" Emily started, downing a shot of some strawberry liqueur they found in the cupboard. "Normally people are either intimidated by Katie and piss themselves in fear or they hate her and leave after a bitch-fest. But Naomi actually loves my sister's weird ways, she found her amusing from the very first time she was manhandled by her on the street."

"Since we established that Naomi does like your Chucks Kay, what do you say, Ems and I go to the swings with Bence. You two can talk." Effy didn't wait for an answer as she took Emily's hand and pulled her into the direction of the swings. She yelled for Bence to follow them but he stayed behind. Probably awestruck by Naomi.

"So what you think baby?" Effy asked, softly squeezing Emily's hand. "Quite a looker ay?" The redhead shrugged, looking over her shoulder at Naomi kneeling in front of her nephew, trying to make him stop be weary of her. Nice gesture she had to admit. Most adults talked to kids from high above, mentally and physically, she liked that Naomi went down to his eye level. "Yeah sure. Do you think they'll be together?"

"I know so." Her beautiful girlfriend sat down on the bench and they both grinned at Katie who joined them, leaving Naomi to chase after Bence. "Awe, someone's in lurve." Effy teased, getting jabbed in the rips by Emily for it, even though the redhead started making kissing noises at her blushing, but still grinning sister.

Emily's eyes followed Bence of their own, like always when none of the family were within reach distance from him and she grinned. Bence was falling and Naomi turned on her superpowers and almost crashed into the ground as she saved him. Getting up Emily walked towards them, to see if the girl was all right, she looked as if someone had killed a puppy in front of her very eyes. Ready to cry.

"Are you hurt?" She heard Naomi's panicked voice ask the boy who couldn't care less. He was happy she played with him and his only concern was to keep playing. "Nuh uh. No ouch." Suddenly his tiny arms reached out behind her, and he fussed until she turned her head and let him jump into Emily's waiting arms. "Ben faaaaas!" He pridefully declared to the redhead; bringing a soft chuckle out of her.

"He isn't hurt, I checked. He didn't even fall, I caught him in time but maybe he hurt his ankle or something. I don't know. I'm sorry." Emily looked bewildered at the stuttering blonde, she was close to hyperventilating. "Oh god, you think I'm terrible, don't you? I shouldn't have scared him with the yelling and stuff. Now he's properly scared of me." The red head was looking very amused by the situation, and Naomi didn't seem to understand why. Deciding that she couldn't say a word without making fun of the blonde, she knew it was best for Katie to do that, her future girlfriend after all. "Kay, I think your girlfriend is having a panic attack or something."

Katie walked over with furrowed brows, silently asking Emily what the fuck was going on but the redhead only shrugged. The young mother gave Bence a Capri Sun out of a bag. Her eyes searched Naomi's, and then she raised an eye brow, clearly planning something.

"Yeah?" The twins stared teasingly emotionless at the squirming blonde. Naomi rolled her own eyes and nudged Katie with her shoulder. "It's not a panic attack. I wanted to make sure" Leaving the sentence hanging Naomi sighed. It was obvious that she really wouldn't be happy if they kept on being bitches, so Katie grew a pair and did the mature thing, she tried to ease her worry and Emily looked on bewildered, not used to this kind of actions from her sister. Comforting someone instead of making fun of them.

"Oh my god, that's soo. Soooo awkward. Why was she freaking out like that?" Bex couldn't suppress the laughter, she was literally crying tears.

Instead of defending Naomi like she should, Emily was in serious pain of laughing like a maniac as she remembered that incident. It was one of her most favourite memories, the image of Naomi practically tumbling over her own feet as she grabbed the wobbling boy was stored in her mind forever.

"I have no idea, asked about a tons of times but she keeps being embarrassed by that."

"He's a kid Naomi. He runs around and falls. He gets bruises and scratches. This is absolutely normal. I mean, did you see how he wobbles around? Why do you think we play catch the whole time? That way we manage to catch him before he falls. Besides, he didn't fell, did he? You caught him so he's happy. He's pretty much in love with you because you played with him. Stop worrying. It's no big deal, okay?" Katie's reassuring did help, and Naomi was finally able to relax again. She nodded, letting a small laugh escape.

Emily thought that it was cute, the way Naomi so desperately tried to make an good impression. "Good. Relax. Effy wants to take Bence for ice cream. Would you like to join us?" Big brown eyes bored into blue ones,challenging her, but Naomi shook her head. "I'm sorry, I'm not really in the mood." She smiled apologetically and shrugged.

It wasn't the right thing to say and the redhead braced herself for the verbal attack Katie was going to fire. But then something lots worse happened. Her eyes, they went from confused to hurt until they clouded with something Emily didn't like to see. Indifference.

"Fine." Katie snapped before she stormed away, leaving her awkward looking twin plus baby behind.

Naomi's jaw set.

"I fucked it up, didn't I ?" She didn't wait for Emily to answer. "Okay, have fun eating ice cream little man." She patted Bence cheek softly and Emily could swear she saw something resembling guilt in her face...her decision was set. "Wait a sec Naomi." The redhead pretty much ordered, walking over to the bench where Katie and Effy were waiting for her. She left the baby with them and walked back to the blonde who was standing awkwardly in the middle of the green. When she reached her Emily sighed, throwing her bitching twin a dirty look before turning back to Naomi.

"Look, Naomi, I know it's not really common to meet someone that age with a baby. Not in the literal sense because having a kid at 23 isn't really a big deal, but in the I-want-to-jump-their-bones-sense. You knew she had a kid, and you wanted to see her again anyway. I just think it's not fair to lose interest now because of him." Emily finished confidently, staring Naomi down. As much as she liked her, she hated it more to see her twin hurt and that was what the pretty blonde had done.

Blue eyes widened, and she frowned. "It's not that." She promised, a little hastily. Rolling her eyes Emily snapped. "Yeah, well it looks like it. I know better than anyone else what a bitch she is, but it wasn't fair to lead her on like that if you weren't interested. You shouldn't have let her get her hopes up." Emily had the feeling that it was a stupid game Naomi was playing, maybe she wasn't gay, maybe she only tried to wind up Katie for almost getting hit by her car, or worse; maybe she wasn't just a pretty, beautiful girl ready and open to love her sister.

It pained her to think that this sounded like a reasonable explanation.

"Wow, you were a bitch to her." Bex commented, wiping the wet spots under her eyes. "No wonder that she was awkward, I can only imagine the sweetheart your sister is and then you had a go at the poor girl."

Shaking her head Emily bit her dry lips, longing for a pint of cool, iced water. "I know, but I was worried."

Huge blue eyes told a completely different story and had Emily believe it at once. She would had believed everything with eyes like that. The following words were just a bonus. "It's not that. I didn't lead her on or let her get her hopes up. Well I did do that, but I AM interested." A tiny blush appeared on her throat and Emily bit her lip to stop herself from aweing. Instead she let her continue without ruining it for Katie by scaring the already spent girl away. "I just feel like a complete fool today. I was nothing but awkward. I just want to go home, curl up in bed and close the blinds. I'm not usually such a twat but Katie's presence turns me into a stuttering fool. It's really hard not to die of embarrassment, okay? If I were disinterested, she would not have this kind of effect on me. Can I please go now?" Naomi pleaded with Emily to end this uncomfortable conversation, but obviously she didn't want to leave any doubts about her attraction to Katie.

She had chosen the prefect words, but her eyes had Emily convinced of her true intentions and she couldn't hide the huge smile as it spread across her face, showing her dimples. Leaving was not an option if Emily ever wanted Katie to give the blonde another chance.

"No. You'll come with us for ice cream." Not letting any time for Naomi to escape, Emily put an arm around her waist and walked her to the others who were watching intently. When they reached the bench, Katie glared at Naomi's sincere eyes making her gulp.

"Stop scaring the poor girl Kay. She looks ready to beg for your forgiveness. Let's go. Someone's getting restless." Emily's favourite brunette exclaimed and jumped off the bench with Bence firmly placed on her back. Emily walked towards them and slapped Effy's arse, getting a chaste kiss from the brunette.

They let the girls talk in private as they made their way to little ice cream shop. Turning her head, Emily's mind was hit by Effy's beauty, as she laughed and joked with Bence in the sun. "Love you." Blue eyes locked on brown ones and Effy scrunched up her face. "Eww, that's sooo gay." Emily almost collapsed in laughter and planned on showing Effy how gay she truly was.

That was how it begun, a simple meeting of an awkward pretty blonde girl who was making Katie blush.

Present/ Emily's London flat

"Never in my wildest dreams could I have known how my life was about to change, how this awkward pretty blonde with perfect comebacks and talking eyes was going to be the only thing my mind would let me think about." Emily went to the Hi-Fi rack and put on another record. "I had no idea what a perfect fucking match Naomi and Katie were going to be, or how great mates we were going to be, what a beautiful, funny friendship would be lost among other things because of my own stupidity."

"Would you go back and change it if you could?"
