Chapter Four
"Just give me a couple of minutes." Naomi shut the taxi door and pulled her phone out of her pocket.
"Em's I'm back, you ready?"
"Yep!" Emily shouted down the phone, skipping outside. Naomi looked at her suspiciously.
"Are you stoned?" She laughed. Emily bit her lip and shook her head. Naomi smirked and raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, a little bit." She giggled, "Where are we going?"
"Effy texted me, her and Pandora are at the docks, they want us to go meet them."
"What? They're here?" Emily laughed.
"Come on." Naomi put her arm around her shoulder. "She said she'd explain when we get there."
They walked down to the docks, spotting Pandora first, who was slumped over the railings being sick, presumably from the ferry trip. Effy was sat down on the bench next to her, smoking a cigarette, that familiar icy gaze on her face.
"Hey." Emily said smiling. A very ill looking Pandora gave them a forced smile and sat down next to Effy, who rolled her eyes and smirked.
"So...what are you guy's doing here?" Naomi laughed.
"People. Being wankers, just wanted to get away you know." Effy said calmly.
"Sure." Naomi said softly, smiling reassuringly.
"Effs stole her dad credit card." Panda grinned.
"Yeah, this whole little trip's on daddy." She smiled wickedly, " So, how bout we get a shit load of drinks," Effy held up the credit card, "and have some fun."
"Wowza, you weren't kidding, it's flippin' massive!" Pandora shouted gleefully, over the sound of the clinking bottles in the shopping bags they were carrying.
"Shhhhh!" The rest of the girls said collectively. Adam jogged over to meet them.
"Did you get my text?" Naomi asked,
"Yep." He grinned. He looked over to Effy and held out his hand, "Hey......I'm Adam." Her arms stayed crossed.
"Hi I'm Pandora." Panda said, shaking his hand enthusiastically, she pointed to Effy, "And this is Effy. Don't worry she's like that with everyone." He bit the inside of his cheek, trying not to laugh.
"Very nice to meet you both."
They began walking down the long, sloping stretch of land that was the mansions version of a front garden, it stretched out for acres.
Naomi and Emily stayed a bit behind the other three. Naomi put her arm round Emily's waist; Emily did the same.
"So how did it go today? Did you speak to Katie?"
"Yeah. Mum's being a complete bitch as usual. Her and Dad have just been arguing the whole time." Naomi bit her lip slightly,
"I'm sorry Ems."
"I'm sorry too." Emily said after a short silence.
"For what?"
"Not coming today...being mopey. I was just letting stuff get to me...I was being stupid." Naomi kissed her on the cheek softly,
"Don't be sorry," she smiled.
They walked a bit faster, catching up with Effy, Adam and Panda; who hadn't taken her eye's off Adam since she saw him. Adam pointed over to the right,
"Just round here." he said as they reached the bottom of the hill. Rachel was sat on a large blanket, trying to light a makeshift fire.
"Hey." She jumped up,
"Effy, Panda, this is Rachel." Naomi said.
"Rachel, what the fuck, you can't even make a little fire." Adam teased, she punched her brother on the arm, "How the hell am I meant to know how to make a fucking fire? We weren't all in the boy scouts."
"Yeah yeah." he muttered crouching down attempting to fix the fire.
They all went and sat down on the blanket and took out the bottles of drink.
"Wow that's a lot of alcohol." Rachel laughed.
"Yeah, it's all on Effy's Dad." Emily giggled unscrewing a bottle of vodka.
After a few hours, everyone had gotten over the slightly awkward stage when you meet new people, this was mainly due to the amount of alcohol they had all consumed. It was pitch black now, the only light coming from the large fire beside them. Panda had suggested they all play truth or dare, the group laughed at the idea but agreed to play. They each had to down a huge cup of drink that Emily had concocted, that contained just about every type of alcohol they had.
"Urgh, that's fucking rank." Effy laughed,
"Hey! I think I'm quite a good maker..drinks..drink maker..." Emily insisted, tripping over her words. Naomi burst out laughing.
"I like it!" Panda slurred,
"Thank you Panda. See Panda likes it too!" She stated proudly.
"Come on, who do I get to ask?" Adam said, downing a load of coke to get rid of the horrible taste of the Emily's drink.
"Emily!" Rachel shouted. The redhead grinned widely.
"Dare!" Emily shouted excitedly.
"Ok, Emily I dare you to...." He laughed wickedly, "Full on snog Naomi for ten seconds."
"But..."
"Shh Panda." Effy said nudging her lightly.
"You're such perv Adam!" Rachel teased.
"Well, if that's okay with Naomi..." She grinned. Naomi chuckled and bit her lip, "I guess so.." She replied.
They turned to face each other, Naomi finished the rest of her drink and placed the plastic cup back down.
"Three....two...one...go!"
Emily leaned in slowly, Naomi's eye's firmly fixed on her lips before the space between them closed. She tried not to moan as she felt the warmth of Emily's mouth over hers, tasting the sweetness of the blueberry alcopops they were drinking earlier. Her lips parted further as Emily's tongue entered her mouth, circling over hers. She felt the familiar feeling she always felt whenever they kissed, those butterflies in her stomach, that feeling between her legs. Emily's hand came up to rest on her shoulder, her thumb lightly brushing across Naomi neck.
"Seven."
She moved her head round to the other side, her tongue now moving into Emily's mouth and along the top of her bottom lip. Emily leaned into the kiss more, breathing heavily, now both her hands on Naomi's shoulders.
"Four....Three..."
Naomi's heart was beating faster and faster, fighting with herself to not push Emily to the floor and let her hands roam all over her body. Images of all the things she wanted to do with her flashing through her mind.
"One....Zero..."
They broke apart after a few seconds of silence, and looked over to the group. Panda was looking around at everyone else with her jaw wide open.
"Wow, that was pretty hot." Rachel smirked, taking a drag of a joint.
"Well they are girlfrie-"
"Panda!" Effy snapped.
"It's ok." Naomi giggled, looking at Emily for assurance, "Emily's my girlfriend." She felt Emily move her hand onto hers.
"Ahh, that makes sense." Adam laughed, taking a few sips from the bottle of vodka, "It's cool though." He smiled. There was a short silence, everyone taking a sip of drink at the same time,
"So come on, how did you two get together?" Rachel asked grinning.
"Well, it's kind of a long story..." Emily began.
