Thanks again for the reviews and such!
Takes place a week or two after chapter 3.
Chapter Four.
"Jesus Christ, English tutor is so fucking dull!"
Naomi and Emily smirk at a student's outburst, whilst agreeing wholeheartedly.
The comment appears to have woken Panda up, because both girls have noticed that the sound of their friend snoring and muttering about baboons or some shit has finally stopped.
Panda looks up sleepily, a string of drool hanging down her face.
"Blimey, Josie! When will Gerald the hand puppet come back? We'd always have such whizzer conversations an-"
Panda went to stand up excitedly, which, in typical pandora fashion, ended in her kicking the side of a cabinet with a bit too much enthusiasm.
She hopped around on one foot, the other clutched tightly between her hands and let out a string of confusing sentences that Naomi could only assume were her forms of curses.
"Jesus Christmas! Slap me and call me Larry llama, that bloody hurts!"
Thankfully the bell had rang in the middle of her colourful rant, signalling that they were all free to get lunch.
Sitting down in the last available chair in the lunchroom, Naomi beckoned for Emily to join her on her lap. Once the gang was settled in their usual corner of the hall, the conversation started to flow.
Panda's accident was quickly retold by Cook, who had been sat in the back of the English class filming it on his phone. They all gathered round the small screen to rewatch the clip and burst out laughing as soon as it finished. Panda was laughing the loudest out of all of them of course.
"Fuck me babes, that was funnier than the time we went to Russia for that science trip and the airport security mistook your dildo for a weapon." Naomi snickered this quietly in her girlfriend's ear, not wanting to embarrass her all over again.
Unfortunately Effy picked up on their conversations and let out a dreamy sigh, saying "oh yes... how could we ever forget the cockgun fiasco..."
At that, Cook and JJ took it upon themselves to act out the scene, Cook playing the part of Emily and JJ as the hefty security guard with an abnormally sweaty face.
"Jesus Emsy, who even brings a fucking plastic cock on a 3 day trip?" Katie scoffs out.
"Someone who originally thought their girlfriend wasn't coming! And it's not like I can just walk out and waggle my tits to find a bloke to shag like you do." Emily retorts with a smug grin.
Cook howled at the twin's banter and then took on his character with gusto. Crouching down to what he imagined to be around Emily's height and flipping his invisible long red hair he began to walk forwards, only to be grabbed by JJ and spun around. He put on his best "oh no! Woe is me!" face as JJ mimed picking up a suitcase and tossing it on the lunch table.
Continuing his mime act JJ moved around as if he had unzipped the case and pulled out the infamous dildo.
At this point, Cook was still bouncing around making lewd exclamations in a false girly voice; he clearly enjoyed his adopted role as Emily.
The rest of the gang burst out laughing when JJ put on a look of shock and disgust and quickly mimed shutting the suitcase and leaving. Emily was pretty sure Freddie had started to choke on the sandwich he was inhaling.
"Very funny, tossers... I don't think any of you got to have amazing plane sex on that trip, yeah? So stuff it." Emily said this with a scowl that was slowly turning into a smirk. She couldn't deny that the whole ordeal was kind of hilarious.
Plus, she remembered with a blush, the whole incident seemed to make Naomi even hornier than usual. It was an interesting trip to say the least.
When she pulled out of her memory the redhead noticed that everyone else had gone off in to their own little side conversations, leaving her and Naomi settled together quietly. She felt her girlfriends breath on her neck, right near her hairline, and Naomi's arms pulled tighter across her waist.
"You alright, Hun?" Emily asked, feeling Naomi nod in return and swallow behind her, getting ready to speak.
"uhm yeah, yeah babe... Just got thinking about some...things. I'm fine though" Naomi said with a reassuring peck to her girlfriends cheek.
"What kind of things, Campbell? Don't hold out on me now" Emily said with a smirk in her voice.
"Just that plane ride...and the boat ride to the hotel... and well, that entire trip really. I can't stop picturing the face you make when you're about to come."
Now it was Emily's turn to swallow thickly, she wasn't sure if she should have pushed Naomi to tell her that. The blonde's statement alone was enough to start wreaking havoc in her knickers.
She squirmed a bit in Naomi's lap to get comfortable and felt Naomi's hips rise imperceptibly in response.
"Ems, you're gonna have to stop moving like that if you don't want me to nail you on the table in front of the rest of our form..."
Emily chuckled lightly, and shifted once more to wind up her girl.
She heard the blonde cover a low moan and felt her long fingers squeeze her hips even tighter.
"Play nice Emily, or I'll have to retaliate."
"Nai, you're about as threatening as Freds when he's high. I'm not too concerned about your 'retaliation'" Emily said with air quotes and another small laugh.
The laugh died in her throat when Naomi's hand slipped under her flannel top and began to climb up her stomach. She felt the blonde's other hand slip a few inches past the waistband of her skirt, coming to rest right above her pubic mound.
Emily's eyes widened as she tried to keep a straight face. "Naomi!" She hissed, "Cut that out! Someone might see!"
She felt rather than heard Naomi laugh into her back as she replied with a devious "I don't think so Ems, I warned you, it's not my fault you didn't believe in my powers of menace..." With that, Naomi moved each hand a little closer towards their ultimate destinations. Her left hand made contact with the underwire of Emily's bra, she pushed her pointer finger past the fabric and traced the curve of Emily's breast.
Her right hand wiggled a bit lower, stopping once her fingers were resting right above where Emily's lips start. She relished the increase in her girlfriend's breathing rate and ran her finger back and forth the neat patch of hair that led to what she knew must be the sweetest cunt in all of England, the world, even.
Naomi was thankful for the lunch table right then, it was acting as the perfect shield between where her hands were teasing her girlfriend and the sight of all of the other students.
Effy looked over at the couple and snorted in to her drink. They really couldn't control themselves... And they're not nearly as discreet as they think they are.
By this point Emily was a bit more worked up than she should be in the middle of her college cafeteria. She stood up abruptly, startling Naomi as her hands were yanked from their previous location. With a quick glance from her expressive brown eyes, Naomi knew to stand up and follow her girlfriend without question when she grabbed her hand and tugged her out of the room.
The rest of the table looked on in confusion, bar Katie who was cringing in disgust and Effy who was just smiling mysteriously.
The thin brunette turned to Emily's much louder sister and cocked an eyebrow.
"Katiekins, didn't think you were that perceptive."
"Fuck off, yeah? I've lived with her for 17 years, I know how she acts when she's horny. Stupid tactless cow must think I can sleep through a fucking storm if she thinks she's being sneaky when she wanks." Katie says with an overdramatic eye roll.
Effy let out a genuine laugh and bumped her shoulder against the purple-haired twin as the gang settled back to normal conversation.
On their third try the doorknob turned and the girls quickly walked into the empty classroom.
"Thank fuck this one was unlocked, I didn't want to have to shag you in the sports pitch or something" Emily said, breathless from her desperate search for an open room.
"Like location has ever stopped you before babe, you're quite naughty when you want to be..."
Emily's eyes darkened as she slammed the door, pulled the blinds, and double checked the knob's lock. Satisfied that they were safe to continue, Emily grabbed Naomi's hand once more and led her to the centre of the room where the teacher's desk was sat. Pushing the blonde into the cushiony desk chair, Emily perched on the edge of the desk.
"So sweetheart, can you think of anything that'll pass the time while we're all alone is this room?" Emily asked with mock innocence.
She saw Naomi's knuckles go white as they gripped the arms of the chair harder and took a huge lungful of air.
"Take off your clothes."
Emily grinned lasciviously as she stood up to do as she was told. In a flash she had kicked off her moccasins, pulled her top over her head, and rolled down her skirt, letting it pool around her feet. She took a step forward, now only covered by her bra and knickers, which were basically just a giant puddle by now.
Naomi looked her up and down slowly. "I said take your clothes off Emily, as far as I can tell you're not naked..."
Emily didn't back down from the challenge in her girlfriend's voice. She slipped the straps of her bra down her shoulders and quickly unclasped the back, letting it fall to the floor, leaving her in only her bright blue boy shorts. She took a minute to let the blonde ogle her tits. Naomi's obsession with her breasts was not unknown to the redhead. How the girl denied her gayness, the world may never know. Naomi was certainly quite enamoured with Emily's girly parts, and Emily laughed to herself when she remembered her girlfriend saying "what!? No, no, I'm not gay, I'm only into dick, yeah?" last year. Emily always knew Naomi was secretly a raging 'mo, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Naomi raised an eyebrow and Emily smirked right back. She loved when Naomi let her passion slip through her walls, knowing that she was the only person to see her in such a raw state.
Hooking her thumbs under the waistband of her knickers, Emily turned around and pulled them off in a smooth motion. She knew Naomi just got a perfect view of her cunt as she bent over, based on the red flush the blonde currently sported.
As Emily walked back towards the desk, Naomi stood from the chair and met her girlfriend in the middle of the room, stopping her forward motion with her hands firmly pressed on her pale hips.
"Stand by the chalkboard, then turn around and imagine that this room was full."
Emily took a few long steps backwards till she stood alongside the board, looking out across the empty classroom that had been brimming with rowdy students only hours before. A shiver ran down her spine as she imagined being on display, and she knew her nipples had hardened and goosebumps covered her skin.
Naomi smirked at Emily's face, seeing the obvious embarrassment turn into arousal, and watching her girl's adorable pink nipples stiffen at whatever she was thinking. She knew Emily was a bit of minx, so the new discovery of Emily's fondness for embarrassment didn't shock her, but it certainly made her wetter.
"You're enjoying this, aren't you Ems?"
Emily blushed and looked down before regaining eye contact with the big blue orbs she adored. "Yeah, actually, it's kind of hot."
Naomi just smiled, her affection obvious even through the lusty haze that covered the room.
"Are you wet?"
Emily nods, blushing again.
"Show me."
"Babe how am I supposed to 'show' you?"
"Touch yourself, for me."
Emily swallowed thickly but the glint in her eye showed she was ready for whatever Naomi commanded she do.
Leaning towards the wall to let her back rest against the chalkboard, the redhead spread her legs.
Naomi could see wetness on Emily's inner thighs already. She knew this was going to be good.
Emily shuffled forward, resting more weight against the board. Her naked back was smudging the lecture notes she had been copying earlier that day, and she smirked at the thought. With one hand, Emily traced a finger down her collarbone, continuing down and pausing to rub her nipple lightly, followed by a hard tweak that made her hips buck forward. She stopped her slow motions once the pulse in her centre reached a fever pitch. Without hesitation her hand dived downwards, immediately spreading her lips and letting the cool air shock her overheated pussy.
Her hips bucked once more as her eyes slammed shut. The redhead trapped her bottom lip between her teeth to avoid crying out as she experimentally swiped through her wetness and circled her clit. She let another finger join the first, pinching her way-too-fucking-sensitive clit between them and tracing tight circles. Her free hand, which had previously been clutching at her breast and kneading around her nipple to balance out the sharp sensation coming from her cunt, fell down to grip the ledge of the chalkboard.
Naomi was more or less salivating at what she was watching: her perfect, adorable, filthy fucking girlfriend getting herself off in the middle of college while school was continuing on around them. Blue eyes took in the way Emily's knuckles had turned even whiter with the grip she had on the board's ledge, how her lightly defined stomach muscles were tensing with every buck of her hips. She watched intently as Emily's hand, which was already coated in wetness, slipped around her cunt, now using four fingers to press her clit. Naomi trailed her eyes back up her body, coming to rest when she reached the redhead's face.
Emily had grown her fringe out ages ago, and Naomi was currently appreciating how the bits of left over short hair stuck to her forehead because of the light sweat Emily had worked up. The look of complete concentration on her girlfriends face was priceless, she needed to see more.
"Open your eyes, Hun." Dark brown eyes pierced her blue ones. "Go inside yourself Ems, I know you want to."
Emily nodded rapidly as she kept her eyes locked on her girlfriend. She pushed one finger down so it was resting against her entrance. With a deep breath that transformed into a low moan, her finger pushed into her centre, rubbing at the insanely tight walls that encompassed it.
Naomi saw Emily's hand push deeper, burying a finger in her cunt as her hips jerked forward like she had been electrocuted. She spent a few minutes just listening to her girl's breath get shallower with each slow thrust inside herself.
Naomi couldn't stand it anymore, she began to walk stealthily towards the redhead, gripping her wrist and pulling it from her folds once she was close enough. Emily's eyes, which had unconsciously clamped shut again, opened quickly... just in time to see Naomi take her finger in her mouth and suck off Emily's arousal.
Naomi walked her flustered girlfriend to the door and pinned her against it. The blonde got on her knees and smirked as she automatically smelled the musky scent of Emily's arousal that she fucking loved. Without wasting any more time, she pressed her hands against the redhead's thighs, spreading her legs and bracing her as she took a hard lick along the length of Emily's cunt. She felt her legs shake and hands were soon buried in peroxide blonde hair. Emily pushed Naomi further into her pussy and let out a few sharp inhales and breathy whimpers. Naomi groaned in response to Emily's forcefulness and continued to lap at her soaked cunt like it was the last meal she'd ever have.
Naomi's groan vibrated through the redhead's shaking body and she knew she was close, like so fucking close. All it took was a few more rapid flicks from Naomi's well-trained tongue to get her at the edge. Naomi sucking her clit into her mouth and forming an airtight seal as her tongue rubbed the head of the nub served as the final push towards orgasm.
Emily's fingers pressed into Naomi's scalp as she pushed Naomi impossibly closer. Naomi didn't let up, using her hands to control Emily's wildly bucking hips and following her girl's centre with her mouth.
With a final strangled groan from Emily, Naomi slowed her pace. She was sure they were quite the sight. Her gorgeous girlfriend's pale body pressed against the door, her breasts heaving up and down as she attempted to catch her breath. Emily's head was thrown back, exposing her long, and incredibly suckable neck. Her hands were still firmly tangled in Naomi's hair now that it had gotten longer. The blonde was resting her forehead against Emily's mound, placing light kisses sporadically across her hips. She smiled when she felt Emily's strip of short hair tickle her face. Emily's hands untangled themselves and smoothed down the crazy bits of Naomi's hair, lifting the blonde's chin to lead her up off her knees.
Naomi covered Emily's naked body with her clothed one and met her girlfriend for a gentle but passionate kiss.
"I love you Nai, that was... that was just like..."
"Love you too babe, and don't worry, I was there too so I know you feel" Naomi replied with a grin. She became acutely aware of Emily's nipples pushing through her thin cotton shirt as the redhead shivered.
"Are you cold Ems? Here let's get you dressed, yeah?" Naomi pulled back from her girlfriend and bent down to retrieve her clothes which were strewn about the teachers desk along with their school bags.
Naomi only got about two steps before she felt Emily's small hand tug her back and pull her in close. Leaning up on her tippy toes so she could reach the blonde's ear she said "no clothes, not yet anyway. I plan on working up another sweat. As should you..." In that just fucked voice Naomi lived to hear.
Naomi stepped back to look into the redhead's eyes and saw that they were already dark with lust. Christ, she loved that Emily was so unabashed about acting on her libido.
With another snarky grin Naomi said "what's the plan then babes? Are we gonna do push-ups and jumping jacks to get sweaty?"
Emily slapped her playfully on the bum, "you're such a fucking smart arse Nai, but fine, if that's how you'd like to get all hot and bothered then be my guest."
Emily bent down to pick up her knickers, which were still damp, acting as if she was going to redress. It took Naomi all of five seconds before she lunged out to grab Emily; and it only took that long because she was stuck staring at Emily's really fucking cute bum.
Emily turned around with a smirk, "changed your mind, eh?"
Naomi nodded vigorously, eager to see what her surprisingly naughty girlfriend had in mind.
"Get naked Nai, I need to see you."
Naomi began to strip, she was down to her knickers when Emily interrupted with "...once you're starkers, get on the desk. Lay down."
Naomi shot a confused look at her girl but continued nonetheless. Once she was naked she walked towards the teachers desk, pushing the discarded clothes to the floor and putting Emily's school bag on the chair. She felt Emily's eyes burning holes in her skin as she climbed up to the desk and sat down cross legged. She knew that it'd drive Emily mad to see her pussy.
Naomi's assumption was correct; seconds later Emily- who was also in nothing more than socks- strode up to the desk and pulled Naomi forward.
"Spread your legs Naomi."
She did as she was told, and was left pretty much straddling the desk. It was a tad uncomfortable for Naomi but she stayed in position just to see Emily's cheeks turn red as she gazed at her completely open centre.
"Right Ems, what's next?"
"Lie down, and grab the edge of the desk with your arms above your head."
The blonde complied, splayed out completely bare for her lover to see. She waited a few minutes for Emily to do something, but she remained untouched on the desk. Being in such a vulnerable position was turning her on, she felt her nipples tighten and arousal drip on to her thigh.
After another few minutes of being spread open Naomi called out "Ems? What are you doing?"
When she didn't receive a reply the blonde raised her head up. She wasn't expecting to see what she did; Emily a foot or two away from her, her mobile blocking her face as she took picture after picture of her desperate girlfriend.
Seconds later Emily met Naomi's gaze. "What are you doing, babe? You know you can see me naked whenever you'd like...what's up with the pictures?"
Emily replied with "you embarrassed me, I'd like to see how you react to being so on display. I'm going to take pictures so you can see what I'm seeing."
Naomi just nodded, even though she wasn't totally sure what Emily was getting at.
The redhead took a step forward and passed Naomi her mobile.
"Point this at me, I want to see through your perspective too."
With that, Emily bent over so her elbows were sat upon the desk in between Naomi's legs. When she knew Naomi was recording her, she craned her neck down further and buried her face between Naomi's wet folds. Emily's groan was audible, almost louder than the one Naomi let out. Keeping her eyes focused on the mobile's small camera lens Emily continued to lick. She replaced her tongue with her thumb on Naomi's clit as she trailed sloppy kisses up Naomi's body, finally stopping to suck on her nipples.
Emily's phone shook in Naomi's hands as she watched her love fuck her through the small camera screen, she felt Emily's thumb push her clit around as she sucked on her tits.
Emily was in the middle of leaving a deep purple hickey on the top on Naomi's right breast when the blonde pulled her up into a kiss. Wanting full use of her hands, Naomi tossed the phone up onto the cabinet next to the desk, immediately pulling Emily on top of her. They naturally fell into a steady rhythm, Emily's thigh shoved between Naomi's legs and the redhead grinding her clit down against the thigh that pushed itself up into her centre. The next time there was a moan neither girl could be sure who it came from.
Emily's hips sped up to a frenzy of jerking and grinding, and Naomi was getting close. The blonde slipped one hand in between their writhing bodies, desperately trying to get more friction.
When Emily felt Naomi's knuckles pressing against her cunt she knew the blonde was touching herself. An idea flashed through her head and pulled her out of her sex-drenched trance.
Suddenly Emily was hoisting herself off of the desk, leaving an incredibly frustrated and confused Naomi panting on her back.
"Babe! What the fu-"
Emily cut off Naomi's whine mid sentence, "want to do something that'll let us come at the same time?"
"Uhm... Em we can usually do that if we time it right. What are you trying to suggest?"
"It sounds silly to say out loud, Nai. Lets just say its a position that resembles a number and will let us both eat eachothe-"
"Ems!" Naomi laughed out, "you just masturbated in the middle of our English room and got your brains fucked out, but now you can't say 69?"
"But It sounds so tacky! Like, we're not some cheesy fucking porno couple, yeah?"
"I don't care what we are, all I know is that I've got to fuck you right now and I'd really fancy you fucking me at the same time."
Emily gulped and nodded, looking down to see that Naomi's legs were still spread and her fingers were gently playing with her clit. She walked to the opposite side of the desk, now standing with Naomi's head close to her mound.
Naomi raised her head back to look at her stunning girlfriend. She could tell Emily was nervous so she gave her a reassuring smile and ran her hands up Emily's legs.
"Come on, Hun, I don't know about you but I could probably come right now just from what I'm currently thinking. I need you..."
Emily nodded once and lifted a knee onto the desk, right beside Naomi's head .
Naomi's breath caught in her throat; Emily's cunt was spread open, just inches from her face. She'd never understand how every inch of her girlfriend was so stunning. Fuck me, she thought, if the last thing I ever tasted, smelled, felt, or saw was this pussy, I'd die a happy girl. Naomi then laughed at herself, she can't believe she had ever denied the fact that she was gay, she was practically obsessed with fanny.
Emily scooted forward as her other knee joined the first, framing Naomi's face. A few more cautious move forward and Emily was face to f-... well face to cunt if she was going to be precise, really, with Naomi. She put her arms under the blonde's legs to keep them spread and dipped her head down to nip at Naomi's centre.
"Lower your arse a bit sweetheart, I don't want to break my neck trying to get to you."
"Nai I don't want to fucking smother you..."
"Emily Fitch, you've got to be fucking kidding me. You weigh as much as a small dog when you're soaking wet. You can't 'smother' me. Now lower your hips because I can't not lick you right now."
Emily did as she was told and let out a very, very cute squeak when Naomi's tongue first pushed inside her. The blonde's hands were propped underneath her hips to keep the redhead elevated; her fingernails were leaving deep crescent moons in Emily's soft flesh.
Naomi could hardly keep moving, the distraction of Emily's skilful mouth sucking at her cunt mixed with the taste of Emily's wetness was driving her mad. They managed to settle into some kind of shaky rhythm, both girls having a bit of trouble trying to stay on task. Emily pushed a single finger around Naomi's entrance, grinning into her core as Naomi's hips thrust upwards.
"Babe! I need you to go inside, I feel like I'm on fucking fire, please!"
Emily shook her head side to side, and knew Naomi could figure out what she had done when she heard Naomi let out an angry huff.
"I've got something better, trust me Naoms."
In lieu of a verbal reply Naomi just dove back in to the redhead's cunt, her mouth working harder than ever before. She felt Emily shift, and twisted her neck to watch a pale arm snake out and pull her school bag closer. She continued to breathe heavily against Emily's clit as she saw her rummage around, finally pulling her shaky hand out of the bag clutching a hairbrush and saying a triumphant "aha!".
Now Naomi was officially confused, what the fuck was Emily gonna do?
Her question was answered as she felt the cold plastic of the brush handle press against her entrance. Emily moved the handle in a few small circles on Naomi's cunt before plunging the length of it inside her girlfriend. "OH fuck!"
Emily struggled to keep Naomi's hips down as the blonde began to writhe and groan a little louder.
The redhead knew she couldn't really fuck Naomi with the brush and eat her out at the same time so she decided to leave the brush in its current position and go back to her previous work. She figured the handle was about 6 inches long, and maybe an inch and a half at its widest point. Emily knew that this being inside Naomi as she came would make her orgasm even more intense.
Moments later both girls were back to licking the cunts in front of them with even more enthusiasm than before.
They could both tell that the other was close, Emily because of Naomi's trembling thighs and Naomi because of the impossibly deep string of "fuck, oh fuck, Naomi" coming from the redhead. Emily bit Naomi's clit gently while she pushed down against the bristly part of the hairbrush. That movement drove the handle in a little deeper, and tilted it up to press Naomi's g-spot.
The blonde tensed up as her orgasm hit, quickly followed by Emily reaching her climax as well. "Shit! Ems- Emily!"
"Nai, I fucking love you!"
Both girls rode the aftershocks of their orgasm, and Emily slowly pulled the brush from Naomi's incredibly sensitive pussy, watching the plastic pull her lips along with it as the brush left her centre. Naomi slowly but firmly licked up Emily's cunt with the flat of her tongue, lapping up all of the wetness she created.
Emily backed herself off the desk and leaned over Naomi to capture her lips in a cum-infused kiss.
Naomi pushed herself up and slumped into the cushiony chair, thankful to rest on something a little more comfortable than a wooden desk. Emily quickly joined her, snuggling down into Naomi's lap. She reached up for her phone when she saw it resting on the cabinet beside them, pressing the 'home' button to check the time.
"Shit Naoms, my phone's died. Do you know the time?"
Naomi looked around till she spotted a small wall clock.
"We've got a bit less than 20 minutes before the last class bell rings."
"Alrighty, well lets just settle down for now, we'll leave with the rest of the school so nobody is suspicious."
"Ems, we're like, Bristol's biggest lesbians, everyone figures we're fucking at all times anyway."
Emily laughed, "fair enough"
"Let's put our clothes back on, I don't want us to get caught naked by that old maintenance man."
"Ugh, babe, why are you so logical?" Emily said while getting up and pulling on some of her clothes.
"Can't help it, I didn't choose to be perfect." Naomi smirked back jokingly, mimicking Emily's action.
The final bell rang out as Emily opened the door and grabbed Naomi's hand.
"Fancy going back to mine, Ems? Mum is out till later."
"Sounds good to me babe, now c'mon, let's get to the parking lot before we run into cook and have to explain where we've been."
Thanks for reading, I'm not sure if I should continue this or not. I've got three additional chapters written already, so if anyone is actually enjoying the story let me know!
