Up until recently I hadn't really thought about what it would be like to spend my whole entire life with that one special person. Well I have, but I always thought I'd get married and have children. Well I guess I still will one day, it's just I never expected it to be with a girl. I always thought it would be with a guy. Isn't meant to be easier that way? I mean people accept you more to be straight, not gay.
Well it took me two years to come out to the whole wide world. Well it's not I was shouting "I'M GAY" from the rooftop or anything, but I became more accepting of my own sexuality. It's just a shame my parents haven't fully accepted me yet, but luckily my sister is getting there and my brother... well he's just a freak! That's James for you...
So my name is Emily and I feel in love with this one girl, Naomi. I could tell you the story on how we met but I wouldn't want to bore you... well I'm sure you want to know anyway... so here it goes...
It happened when I was eighteen years old... we met in our place of work, which was at an art class. I had only started working for a few weeks, so I was pretty new to this job as much as she was. Anyway one day, when she started her new job, our boss James Cook called us into his little office on the second floor of the building. As I walked in, I noticed her. She looked... amazingly gorgeous with her longish blonde hair and as she turned around to look at me, I caught a glimpse of her brightly coloured blue loving eyes... then she turned around back to James to listen to what he had to say.
I took a seat next to her on the cream white sofa trying not to be too close to her, eventhough I really wanted to be. It was honestly hard not to be. I focused into these wonderful thoughts thinking about her and what it would be like to spend time with her...
"EMILY?" James shouted, which completely focused me back into the normal world.
"Sorry" I said timidly.
I think he noticed I was day dreaming because he gave me a cheeky wink and a smile. I blushed.
"Anyway as I was saying, I would like you to show Naomi one of your teaching classes as she is new here and doesn't know what to expect" James stated.
"Okay sure..." I looked at her and she smiled at me, but quickly turned her focus back onto James.
"Good that's sorted then. Naomi, Emily here will take good care of you and show you the routine of what we do in order to teach our customers how to draw. You will both be working together until Naomi fully understands the role of her job and is able to achieve it on her own without any problems." James finally mentioned. "Therefore you both can get back to work and prepare for the young children's class tomorrow"
So that's what we did, well Naomi went off somewhere and I was just stuck with dealing with this preparation on my own. I wondered where she went to as it almost seemed as if she was running away from me. I tried my hardest not to think of the worse because I had only just met this girl. I don't know her... and I desperately wanted to...
Hour an hour later after preparing for this lesson, I heard and saw Naomi talking on the phone to someone, but couldn't quite make out what she was saying. I know, I feel like a stalker and trust me it only gets worse as time passes on. I easily get jealous though whenever she talks to someone because I want her to talk to me. Have I mentioned that she hasn't spoken one word to me yet, and I thought it was us who were meant to be working on preparing for this class, not all the other people she has been speaking to? GAH! I just feel like I shouldn't be this jealous, not when I only met her half an hour ago... before that she was a complete and utter stranger to me. I wish she felt the same as me though... and guess what? No one knows that I'm gay yet, even I haven't properly focused it but I know I am, because I've never really fancied guys and never had a boyfriend, unlike my sister Katie.
Anyway... she finally comes up to me about three hours after the meeting we had with James.
"Hey, I guess we should start working on that class for tomorrow then...?"
I must have totally gone away with the fairies because she just stared at me waiting for me to respond.
"Oh sorry, yeah I had actually already started planning it out, I could show you my ideas if you want..?" I spoke shyly.
"Yeah okay sure..." she replied.
So that's how it started, our conversation just flowed from there and I actually found out a few interesting facts about her. How she only came into this job because she knew James rather well and was actually his best friend. Weird, huh? Small world I must say. She also told me that she was an only child and is the same age as me. I must admit, even though she told me all these facts about her and I did want to get to know her more, I just really wanted to be with her more. Luckily James told us earlier today when we were planning tomorrow's session, that there will be a welcome party for Naomi, which obviously requires a lot of free alcohol! I must say, I honestly can't wait until tonight.
Later on, I was upstairs in my room planning on what to wear for this welcome party tonight. It must have taken me approximately two whole hours just deciding on an outfit to wear. Finally, I chose my favourite red and black dress along with my white wedges.
I listened to my favourite CD, Lady GaGa (you just can't beat it, it's totally awesome!) and was singing rather loudly because Katie kept telling me to shut the fuck up. Hey, who would listen to their sister, when your mega happy? Not me! Well, I do have every intention to be happy don't I? I mean, in the last 24 hours I've acknowledged; I'm gay, I like a girl, and I'm about to get and spend loads of time getting drunk with Naomi Campbell being at the same party, in the same room as me. Surely that's got to make anyone happy? Definitely!
So, now it's 7:30pm and the party starts at 8pm. I decide to take a taxi to the venue because if I'm getting drunk then I can't drive, hence the "don't drink and drive" policy. I head out the door when I hear Katie shouting my name,
"Emily, where you going? I said to mum and dad that we'd both be in for dinner tonight as they are coming over to visit their two "favourite" daughters."
I almost laughed at this. Favourite? Who was she trying to fool, me or her because trust me my mum doesn't know the mean of the word. Anyway I didn't laugh and told her that I was going to my work's party because a new employee had started and was my boss's best friend... but I didn't mention who it was. Not like she would have known anyway it's just I didn't want to get into a conversation about them with her. So I just headed out of the door when I heard the taxi beep and startle me to death. I really was nervous. I needed a drink. I seriously needed several drinks and I needed them now!
Once I arrived at the venue, it was just gone 8pm and I looked around to see if I could spot James... or even Naomi. No sign. Therefore, I went up to the free bar and purchased my order. I decided to make it a shot of tequila and a double vodka and coke. Well I did need the alcohol, after all I was starting to feel sick because my nerves were going out of control and I felt like I was drowning and couldn't save myself anymore. I didn't understand why I felt like this, I had never felt like this towards a guy before, or any other girl for that matter, then again I have never fancied a girl before her... oh shit! I'm slightly tipsy now (well I have had a few shots and drinks, yeah I lost count a while ago, your point being?) and I see her, but she's not along, she's accompanied by this other girl with red hair. I'm slightly jealous... and then I see them holding hands... okay now I'm insanely jealous. I take a big gulp as I walk (or try to walk) over to her and her new "friend".
"Hiiiiiiiii" I say almost too quickly. "Who's this?" I don't know if she noticed it but I have a really jealous tone in my voice and I hope she didn't seem to notice it as after all it seemed like this was her girlfriend or something. I mean is she gay? Geeze!
"Hello Emily, this is Jenny, my girlfriend" Naomi smiles
Uhhhh-ohhh. I smile to be polite, but inside I'm dying. How could I not realise she had a girlfriend? Well she's gay and the most prettiest person I have ever seen. It's just a shame she has a girlfriend. Anyway I decided not to let it bother me too much eventhough it really does.
I leave them to it, and go up to Cook who's with another employee.
"Hi James, I thought I'd join you since I don't know anyone here except you and Naomi and I rarely know her at that..." I seemed to be waffling on and on so I decided I should shut up before I let the alcohol overtake me too much. Not that it already hasn't. "So who's this then?"
"Okay then Ems... you couldn't have fooled me, looks like you're disappointed that she has brought Jenny with her... I can tell when you're jealous. Anyway this is Adam, he's been in this job for almost two years now. He's also pretty good at making people jealous" He winked at me! He fucking winked. Geeze. "I know Naomi is my best friend and everything, but I can also tell that you like her."
I froze. How could he possibly know this? Then again, he has had a lot of experience in knowing when people fall each other, because he told me this long story about how he fell in love with one of his college friends, a girl name Effy. It was a rather sweet story as well if you ask me. So I guess I know where he's coming from. "Erm... no I don't" I honestly couldn't tell the truth, not to my boss about his own best friend. Besides they seem really happy together. So I decide to face up to the truth. I'm never going to get her. I decide to do the next best thing and try to be her friend. I mean we are going to be working together after all on this class tomorrow.
