Chapter Two

Naomi entered the house and threw her bag in the hall. She went up the stairs to her room but stopped outside Emily's door which was slightly open.

"Emily?" she asked tentatively as she pushed the door open.

Emily wasn't there. Naomi looked in the room at all of Emily's things neatly decorating it. She looked above Emily's bed and was shocked to see a black and white poster of two women lying on a bed kissing.

"Oh." Naomi said out loud. She jumped when she heard the front door open and ran into her room. She heard Emily come up the stairs and knock on her door.

"Hey!" Emily said as she opened it.

"Hi." Naomi replied in a cold manner.

"So what's happening tonight?" Emily asked.

"Oh," Naomi started, "Actually, can we give it a miss?"

"Oh, ok." Emily looked disappointed.

"Bye." Naomi said as she closed the door. She immediately felt guilty. 'Fuck sake,' she thought, 'she's gay, it's not a fucking crime. Stop being a cunt.'

Naomi went to Emily's door and knocked. When Emily opened it Naomi said, "Fuck it. Get ready. We'll grab something to eat in town and then go get pissed." Emily smiled and quickly rushed to get ready.

On the way to the club, Naomi pulled a half bottle of vodka out of her bag. Naomi and Emily started swigging it between them. They entered the club; it was quiet because it was still early. They ordered some shots and drinks and took them to a round table with high stools.

They were chatting and downing shots when Naomi, feeling brave from the alcohol, said, "So…you're gay?"

Emily choked on the shot she was downing and stared at Naomi wide-eyed, "Em…uh…how did you know?"

"Oh, I just kind of guessed," Naomi said.

"Oh…is it that obvious?"

"No, not at all."

"So, does it bother you?" Emily asked, looking down, afraid to see disgust in Naomi's eyes.

"No not at all. I mean, its 2010 not 1910 right? Besides, gay is like in fashion now."

Emily laughed, "Well just call me Gok Wan."

Naomi laughed, "So, do you have a girlfriend?"

Emily blushed, "No. I mean, I haven't….I mean not for a while." Emily was too embarrassed to admit that she was a virgin.

Naomi smiled and watched Emily down another shot. She couldn't understand why Emily didn't have a girlfriend. She was really cute.

'I mean I would fuck her.' she thought.

"What the fuck?!" Naomi said out loud at her thoughts.

"What?" Emily asked concerned.

"Nothing," Naomi said shaking her head, "Your round."

Emily smiled and went to the bar.

'I can't believe I just thought that. I'm straight!' Naomi thought to herself.

"Alright?" a voice broke her from her thoughts. She turned and saw a dark haired guy standing beside her, "I'm Colin."

* * *

Emily was queuing for the bar. She was happy that Naomi knew that she was gay and she wasn't bothered. In fact she could have sworn that there was something between herself and Naomi. She felt a kind of electricity between them. She knew that sounded corny as fuck but that was the only way she could describe it.

Emily got her drinks from the bartender and made her way through the crowd at the bar back towards the table. She stopped in her tracks and felt her stomach sink at the sight of Naomi kissing a dark haired boy. Reluctantly, she went over to the table and sat down.

Naomi looked up, "Oh…Emily…this is…"

"Colin." the guy said, shaking Emily's hand.

"Hi." Emily said, less than impressed.

Emily sat at the table for about ten minutes whilst Naomi and Colin whispered to each other.

"Naomi," she said, "I'm gonna go."

"Oh okay, if you're sure." Naomi said.

Emily left, she felt like shit.

'Why did she invite me out if she was just going to ignore me all fucking night?" she thought to herself.

She knew deep down that Naomi hadn't done anything wrong, she was a single girl.

'A single STRAIGHT girl,'she thought, 'so stop being jealous and get over it!'

* * *

Emily was lying in her bed tossing and turning when she heard the front door. She heard Naomi laughing and then a male voice laughing. She heard them clambering up the stairs drunkenly.

"Fuck this." She said out loud.

The last thing she wanted to be subjected to was grunts and moans next door, especially when she wanted to be the one making Naomi moan. She grabbed her ipod, shoved her headphones in and turned it up full blast.

Naomi stumbled up the stairs. She was wasted. She led the guy upstairs. 'Celvin?' she thought his name was. Once in her room, they started kissing in her bed. Then, in her mind, she wasn't kissing him anymore, she was kissing Emily. She tried to shake the image out of her mind but she couldn't.

"Stop." she said, pushing the guy back.

"What's wrong?"

Naomi looked at him, 'Nothing should be wrong,' she thought, 'I'm straight, single, in bed with a good looking guy.'

"Nothings wrong." she said, and they continued.

Three minutes later, it was all over and Colin was fast asleep next to her snoring like a hog.

"Well that was shit." she said out loud.

She got up and went to the bathroom. On the way back she opened Emily's door quietly to check that she had got home safe. Emily was lying fast asleep with her ipod in and her red hair splayed over the pillow.

Naomi couldn't help but think how stunning Emily looked lying there. Naomi had never looked at a woman like that before. As she looked at Emily lying there she began feeling more attracted to her than she had ever been to any guy.

Naomi went back to her room and groaned at the image of the sweaty boy sprawled on her bed. It was a vast contrast from the gorgeous image of Emily lying on her bed. Reluctantly she crawled in beside him and fell asleep.

* * *

"Morning." Emily said as she entered the kitchen to a rough looking Naomi.

"Ugh." Naomi groaned.

Emily went over to the toaster and asked, "Where's…?"

"Colin." Naomi stated. "He left."

"You seeing him again?"

Naomi sighed and barked, "Why, you jealous?"

"What?" Emily said startled. "No…I just…"

Naomi raised her hand, "Sorry Emily. I'm sorry. I just feel like shit and I'm being a prick."

Emily half smiled, "Its ok. It was a good night."

"Yeah. Sorry you had to leave though."

"Oh you know," Emily started, "I was just too drunk."

"Yeah, I know the feeling." Naomi replied and rested her head in her hands.

"You going to college today?" Emily asked and shoved a bit of toast in her mouth.

"Am I fuck." Naomi stated and got up from the table, "I'm going to bed."

Emily laughed and grabbed her rucksack, "Allright for some!" she said as she left for college.

* * *

When Emily returned home she started up the stairs to dump her bags. She stopped as she heard Naomi call her name from the living room. Inside Naomi was sitting on the sofa with Colin. Emily couldn't help but feel a bit gutted to see him back again.

"Guess who stopped by?" Naomi said with a look on her face that said 'Save me!'

"Hey Colin." Emily said, smiling at Naomi's expression.

"Allright Emily? Oh I'm glad I caught you actually," Colin said and stood to face Emily, "Naomi mentioned that you're gay."

"Em…ok?" Emily replied.

"Well I have a friend, well actually an ex, but anyway she's gay, and I was thinking," Colin continued, turning to Naomi, "we should double date!"

Colin looked back at Emily expectantly.

"Em, sure why not." Emily said, looking over at Naomi who rolled her eyes.

"Great! I'll give her a call." Colin said, stepping out into the hallway.

"Fuck sake," Naomi said and stood, "Double date. Thanks!"

"Sorry," Emily said, "I didn't know what to say."

Naomi sighed, "Its fine, couldn't stand in the way of you getting some fanny action." she said smiling.

"Fuck off. At least you will get some cock action."

"Ugh no thanks. I'd be better doing it myself."

Emily laughed and then blushed at the thought of Naomi touching herself.

"Right!" Colin exclaimed from the doorway, "Sorted, eight o'clock tonight."
