Fitch Films Chapter 2
Thank you guys so much for the reviews! :) Keep telling me what you think.
It had been five days since the blonde checked out the movies and gave her number. Emily had decided not to call her till she came in again to return the films. She wanted to play it cool.
Some loud noise was ringing. Emily ignored it and curled back into bed. It was ringing again. She sighed and got up.
"Yeah?", she said in a low sleepy voice.
"Bitch. Where are you? You were supposed to be at the shop at 8:30 to open. It's like almost 10:30. I've been ringing you loads", said her sister sounding pissed.
"Sorry Kai. I'll be right there", she hung up the phone and immediately went into her closet to get ready. She slid on blue skinny jeans, a red v-neck, and her old school red adidas shoes.
She ran to her front door not before grabbing a pop tart, her leather jacket, and keys.
As she was driving there; which was ten over the speed limit, she thought about the blonde. What if she already came and dropped them off? Fuck.
She squealed into the car park, leaving tire marks. She got out of her car and ran to the front door.
Katie gave her a death glare as she approached.
"What took you so long, lezzer? Been finger fucking?"
Emily just shook her head. "I over slept"
"Well get you're arse in gear", Katie said walking away.
"Shut the fuck up Katie", she said under her breath. After all these years, her twin still tried to be the boss of her.
The redhead thought she must have been sweaty from rushing so she reached down behind the counter and pulled out her bottle of Eternity Aqua for men cologne and sprayed it on her. She always liked the mens' cologne rather than the womens. Well she didn't like the strong after shave smell like brut. It was like an axe commercial when Emily wore Eternity. One just flaunt towards her. It's like a gift. She could walk into a room full of loads of straight girls and by the end of the night, they would have ended up in Emily's bed. She didn't even try.
Someone in front of the register had cleared their voice and that bothered Emily the most. I am so sorry that I am not rushing to check you out so you can drive home quickly to watch a fucking DVD. Seriously, what is this world coming to? Everyone is in a hurry these days. Why? What important event do you have to go to? Oh, we have to drive to a candle party and weave in and out of traffic. Eugh.
"Excuse me? Are you going to check me out or do I have to look at your arse all day?", a feminine voice said.
Now Emily was pissed. She sprang up from the counter, "Look ma'am-", but was cut off when she saw the gorgeous blonde standing in front of her. Her eyes went big and her heart started racing. God, she's prettier than I remember. Those beautiful blue orbs that showed a hint of mischief and good girl. Emily was mesmorized with her eyes. She couldn't think to say anything or do anything. She just stared at the woman standing in front of her.
"Emily?", the blonde laughed waving her hand to get her out of her trance.
The redhead snapped back to life. Oh, shit she probably thinks I'm retarded.
"Hiya… Sorry. My mind was somewhere else", she said shaking her head.
"I could tell", the blonde smirked.
Emily's face went a shade of pink.
"So, how are you?", trying to make things less awkward.
"I'm good. Just renting some movies"
"I see that", it was the redheads turn to be a smart arse.
"So why haven't you called me?"
Jesus, it's like when a woman gives me her number after we have sex.
"I've been busy", she lied. Well somewhat lied. She had stayed in to work on her coursework and watch reruns of Spaced.
"Mmmhmm… I think you just don't like me", she said playfully trying not to smile.
"Of course not. What good qualities do you have?", she playfully said back.
Naomi grabbed her heart, "ugh… I'm crushed. Shoot me through the heart why don't you. That's the last time I give my number out to a gorgeous woman", the blonde smiled.
Emily blushed a little more.
She made a gesture of shooting a bow and arrow at her. Naomi reacted like she had been hit. They both laughed.
"Don't you know all the gorgeous ones are the bad girls", the redhead said cocking an eyebrow.
Naomi looked nervous for a second and licked her lips.
"I like bad girls", she said quietly.
They locked eyes for a few moments.
Emily's stomach was in knots. Her heart was beating quickly and her head was getting fuzzy. All from a girl who flirted with her.
Finally, she looked away. .
"That'll be $6.84", she said and took the cash.
She scanned the movies.
"Really, Lilo and Stitch", she said poking fun at the blonde.
"That's for my girlfriend, but it is a good movie", she said defending herself.
Emily laughed.
"Oh my god, you're getting The Edukators?", she said with an enliven tone.
"Yeah, I've never seen it and I love foreign films"
"Really? Me too. This is one of my favorites. You'll have to tell me how you like it", once again the redhead blushed. Stop thinking dirty thoughts.
"I guess we're soul mates than", the blonde gave an unsure smile when Emily looked up with wide eyes.
"Yeah", is all she simply said.
She typed some numbers in and hit the cash drawer machine. What a surprise. It didn't work.
"Shit!", she said getting frustrated. She really did hate that piece of shit.
"Emily, you should let me work on it. I am really good at fixing things", the blue eyed goddess said, trying to calm her down.
"Here. Let me", the blonde walked behind the register and hit the top of the machine like she had done before. It opened on the first try.
"I reckon you will just have to hit the top of the machine every time, that is of course you want help?", she said grinning.
The redhead smirked, "Fine, you can work on me. I mean my machine!", the redhead quickly restated. Her cheeks were almost as red as her hair.
The blonde just simply laughed, "Let's start with the machine, yeah", the blonde smirked and gave her a wink. Joking of course. Right?
"Okay. I'll text you with a time and place, okay?"
"Sure. See you" and she disappeared out the door.
To say that Emily was nervous about seeing Naomi outside of work would have been an understatement. She was shitting missiles. She kept thinking about what to wear. Not smart clothes. She decided on a pair of tight dark blue jeans, shit kickers, and a gray low cut v-neck that showed off her cleavage perfectly. And of course, her leather jacket.
They had agreed to work on the machine at the video store so that Naomi didn't have to haul it back and forth. They did it after hours. Emily had told her to meet her at the shop at 9 and as Emily's car was roaring into the car park, sure enough, the blonde was outside waiting.
She parked and got out. God Naomi looke gorgeous. Simple but gorgeous. Here hair was long and straight, dark blue jeans that made her arse look great, Vans slip on shoes, and a band t-shirt.
Emily got out and headed toward the door.
"Hey", they both said in unison and laughed.
"Have you been waiting long?", she asked opening the door for her.
"No. Only about five minutes", she shrugged
"Okay. I see you brought your toolbox", she said laughing.
"Every lesbian has to have a tool set"
"Really? I have to put that on my list than"
Out of the corner of her eye she could see that Naomi's mouth had dropped. The redhead smiled when she walked passed her.
Naomi set her toolbox down and started getting out tools that she would need. The redhead didn't want to just stand there awkwardly so she got out her laptop and started playing music, putting it on shuffle.
A few hours passed, both of them had talked about where they grew up and what their childhood was like. Naomi had grown up in Bristol with her mother who became a multi-millionaire by making some kind of go green clothing company. It turns out that Naomi didn't work and lived off of her mother. She didn't like it, but she went to three countries every year to help those in need. Emily was surprised that Naomi went to Goldsmiths in London and got a children's literature degree. She never did anything with it though. Emily was becoming more curious by the woman every time she talked about herself. They also talked about woman and relationships.
"So you don't do relationships, period?", Naomi said stunned.
Emily shook her head, "No, things just get more complicated that way"
"But having someone love you and you loving them is one of the greatest feelings in the world. When you find that true someone and they make your whole world colorful", she said genuinely.
"What? Like a rainbow?", Emily laughed. Naomi joined in.
"Yes, like a rainbow. It can be the most amazing thing"
"Have you found that someone?", Emily blurted out, "I'm sorry that was way too personal", she apologized.
"No it's okay. I think… when it's the right timing, you know? Yes, I love my girlfriend, but she's hardly ever home because of work. So it would be difficult to get married right now", she said truthfully.
"So, is she the "one"?", Emily jokily put up her hands and made quotations.
"I think so", Naomi said so as if she was sure of herself, but her eyes told her something different.
Naomi hit a button and magically it opened.
"Bingo. There you go. You wanna come try it?", she asked.
"Sure", she said walking toward her. She knew all the buttons on the register by heart but she wanted to get close to Naomi.
As Emily moved around they bumped into each other. Naomi's hand ended up on her lower back and Emily shivered from the touch.
"Sorry", she said, just above a whisper.
"It's okay", she said with a shaky voice.
She pressed the button and it worked for her as well.
"Wow, thank you so much", she said turning around only to be faced with a very close Naomi in front of her. She looked up and their eyes connected. They were looking at each other with so much wonder and nervousness. Both of them had cleared their throats.
"What do I owe you?", she asked.
"Don't worry about it. Just helping someone out", she awakwardly smiled, looking a little discomfort.
"No, you have to let me do something. That was like 50 quids worth. Please?", she said playfully pouting.
"Okay. How about a movie?", she suggested
Emily laughed. "Well considering how I own a video store and we're both movie buffs, sure"
"Great", she said enthusiastically, "I'll text you the time. Are you free Thursday night?"
"After work, yeah"
"Okay. How about we meet up here and go together. Sound good?"
"Yep"
Naomi had gathered her tools and started walking out with Emily.
"So, Thursday it is", Naomi smiled.
Emily nodded. "Have a good night", she waved as the blonde was walking away.
"You too. Oh, by the way Emily…" she said walking but turning towards Emily, "Nice arse from earlier", she winked and got into her car leaving Emily speechless.
