Chapter 6
Emily's POV
"Come over here" she smirked playfully sitting on the bed god you're beautiful I could feel myself being pulled closer, I didn't mind that my legs were now making decisions for me, being as close to her as possible is all I want. "So" she cleared her throat "what do you want Ems? Pinot Grigio or…." frowning at the bottle in her hand "cider oblivion" she proudly smirked. "Anything" just kiss me "just give me a fucking…" staring at her hypnotising lips "just give me a" our lips crashed together.
I know it's amazing because I can hear myself moan into the kiss, This is odd I push Naomi back on the bed hard sliding my body on top of hers I want to feel you "fuck, Ems" she moans as I plant rough kisses down her neck I need to feel you I can see her pulling her top off and I desperately want to look but my eyes are involuntarily glued to hers. Naomi lifts herself up using her arms and tilts her neck back, I don't waste a second, lunging forward to trail kisses on the perfectly pale skin on show. "Emily?" I retract my lips from her neck and look at her, she grabs the back of my neck pulling me to her lips but I feel nothing, it's as though my whole body is numb. "Emily?" I pull away staring into her eyes, Naomi just gives me a warm smile and leans in to kiss me again. I'm getting anxious because if I don't feel her soon I know something really bad is going to happen, "Emily?" I sigh against her lips "What Naoms?" I ask breaking away. Naomi beams at me, her eyes full of lust did she even hear me? I feel a finger brushing against my arm as Naomi brings me to her lips again but I know it isn't hers because hers are entwined behind my neck "Emily?" everything's black.
"mmm" I sleepily mumbled coming into consciousness "Emily" a voice hummed in my ear, I opened my eyes half expecting it to be Naomi but instead was faced with a pair of eyes, the wrong colour.
58 Tower Eiffel Restaurant
"Naomi" dicksplash waved in our direction jesus here we go rolling my eyes as I placed the knife and fork on my now empty plate and pushed it away. "Tosser" I mumbled as the figure beside me stood. He had been annoying me all day, whenever I turned my back he seemed to creep up and grab Naomi's attention, even the times that I wasn't near her he was there, either hanging around looking for an excuse to talk to her, or actually talking to her and it was annoying. I was annoyed, annoyed at him and annoyed at myself for being annoyed. "Shit" Naomi giggled, if she had of swayed a little further to the right I'm almost certain she'd have fallen on me but unfortunately lady luck did not seem to want anything to do with me tonight. "More drunk than you thought eh?" Effy teased from across the table as I grabbed the bottle of red in front of me deciding that the best thing to do right now would be to ignore Naomi and dicksplash. It wasn't that I was angry with her, I had no right to be, it was just that I was feeling rather jealous and that wasn't like me at all, I'm in an open relationship for Christ sakes. "Can you pour me some?" Katie demanded more than asked from beside me, as I filled the glass she was holding up I came to the conclusion that my annoyance and jealousy was due to the fact that I was feeling pretty drunk myself and the best thing to do would be to try and forget about dicksplash and enjoy the rest of my night, afterall I was having dinner in the Eiffel Tower right now, what was there to complain about?.
My positive thinking lasted for a brief 5 minutes after finally giving up the urge to glance over at Naomi. "Katie I'm leaving" I announced standing "huh? Where are you going?" she looked at me dumbstruck "I'm going to go introduce myself to that fit brunette over there who has been eyeing me off all night" my eyes flicked to the direction of the brunette that sat at a table to the far right of the room with two other girls, who had indeed been looking at me all night "and then I'm going to go dance" I told the back of Katie's head because she was now searching the direction my eyes had flicked for the girl. Katie shrugged and turned to face me "just remember to call me yeah?" she said as I grabbed my bag shooting a quick glance at Effy who was staring at me sceptically "of course" I smiled strutting off.
The brunette's named turned out to be Cherrie and we ended up at a club that I was almost refused entry to for "not looking gay enough", thankfully Cherrie's best friend was the owner so there wasn't much that the bouncer could do. I hate places like that, 'gay clubs', it's usually all the same, you get judged on appearance before you even get in the line and if you don't meet their standards of what a lesbian should look like then you aren't allowed in. A dress code is fine with me, but when you have a person standing in front of you judging your sexuality based on the clothes you wear it really puts a damper on your mood. I've not once been refused entry to any other clubs before, neither has my gayest of friends.
After entering the club things get a bit hazy, I know that the place was just a small room with double the capacity of bodies dancing around, the bar was hard to get to and the stage was tiny. I danced a lot and drank a lot more and I can remember chatting to some people but other than that I have no recollection of how I ended up here.
Present Day, somewhere in Paris (I hope)
"Your phone has been ringing since 8" Cherrie smiled tracing patterns on my arm. FUCK I hurl my body upright "what's the time?" I croaked frantically flickering my eyes around the sunlit walls of a small room. "It's only 9" she replied, the hurt evident in her voice Jesus why did you stay over you twat I sighed in relief and hopped off the bed to start searching for my things, if it had of been past 11 id be royally fucked. "Come lay down, it's still early" her voice nagged from behind as I picked my bag up from the floor. "I can't babe, I've got to go back to my hotel" I replied dismissively ignoring the disappointed nod. After dressing as quickly as possible and checking I had all my possessions in my bag I headed straight for the front door "It's been fun" I turned to see the sour faced girl still in the bed. "See you later!" I smiled opening the door with a smug grin I'll never see her again.
The street I walked out onto was obviously a main one; there were people everywhere, businessmen, mothers, teenagers, old couples. It was obvious at this point that almost every street in Paris was lined with café's and deli's. I sighed in frustration heading for the nearest corner which was in front of 'Le café du marche', probably the busiest and largest one on the street; there were at least 10 small tables
housed in see through blinds that were to both sides of the entrance. People sat chatting and waiters taking orders and from what I could see inside seemed pretty full aswell.
Okay what are your options? I sat under a bus shelter on the corner. Katie was out of the question, I could only imagine the ear full I'd receive when I saw her, Effy? No, id rather not call her and explain the situation I was in, especially since it was more than likely that she was with Naomi. Panda? She wouldn't know, Cook "Cook!" I yelled diving for the phone in my bag.
5 missed calls 3 new messages received. "Jesus Christ" I exclaimed ignoring them and pressing the call button on Cook's name.
C: Red man whaddaya doin?
Why the fuck is he whispering?
E: I'm lost, why are you whispering?
C: Banged some bird last night, needa get out, where are ya babe?
E: I don't know, some busy street
C: Any signs nearby or summit?
E: Uhh, there's a café called Le café du marche behind me
C: Cookie monsters on it, hold tight babe!
The line went dead causing me to frown. I checked the missed calls and messages on my phone that were mostly from Katie but Lisa had text me. I felt an unpleasant feeling in my lower stomach, as lenient as being in an open relationship was (minus the traditional sense) we did have rules and one of those was to not sleep over at a shags place. I couldn't picture Lisa's response at what happened last night because it had never happened before, she was a really calm person so I really don't know if she'd be upset. I decided that the best way to tell her would be via text for two reasons, one being that if she actually was upset Id have no way of knowing what to say and two because she's most likely at work.
Had a big night, im currently stranded in fuck knows where but its alright, a friends coming to rescue me soon hopefully. I woke up in some randoms bed this morning but I have no idea how I got there…I'm sorry? Text or call me when you can xxx E
Cook had called back within 5 minutes telling me he was on his way, apparently he googled my location on his phone, pretty impressive, I lit a smoke and leaned back on the bench.
"Christ I hope I don't look as bad as you" I giggled as Cook pulled me into a hug, his pants were torn at the knee and he was without a shirt, his chest sporting rather vicious scratch wounds that made it look like he had been in a fight with a feral cat. "Eh who cares babe, living aint it?" he grinned releasing me. "What happened to your chest?" I asked concerned, Cook gave a cheeky grin in reply. To my left an old couple sat clearly talking about us because the man was looking at me with disgust written all over his face "problem?" I challenged him raising an eyebrow, the man started gesturing his arm in a way that clearly said he didn't approve of my appearance but I had no fucking idea what he was saying. "oh shove it up your tits" I glared grabbing Cook's arm and stomping off . I probably looked like a hooker; I hadn't even bothered checking my appearance because I really just wanted to get out of Cherrie's apartment as quickly as possible. "I'm hungry" Cook groaned beside me "we aren't going to get served like this though" I huffed linking our arms.
By the time we reached the entrance, to an amused Effy leaning against the wall smoking and a pissed off looking Katie pacing back and forth, it had just passed 10am. "Woahh" Effy dragged out smirking at us "you's look like shit", Katie spun on the spot glaring at me shit here we go I rolled my eyes. "What the fuck Emily! Where the fuck have you been!" she flailed her arms out to the sides "you're meant to let me know where you go!", I really couldn't be bothered dealing with her shit right now. "Well I'm back now aren't I?" I snapped at her hugging myself as a cold breeze hit, "Err, I'm ready now" came a voice from somewhere near Cook; I didn't have to look to know who it was, Naomi. The distraction must have calmed Katie a bit because her face turned from anger to frustration. "I was concerned bitch" Katie sighed staring at me. She did have a right to be pissed off, if she had of fucked off for a night in a foreign country without a phone call or text id have been angry as well. "Emsy sham" I shivered hanging my head. I felt so bad that I didn't even get to experience the confused faces of our audience at my sudden change of language. "Just don't do it again" she huffed, "right, sorted! Let's go I'm hungry" Effy leaned off the wall and started walking in the opposite direction. "Fix your self up Emsy you look like a goth and we're leaving in an hour" Katie frowned before strutting away. I giggled at a passing Naomi who had a 'that was intense' look on her face.
"Bollocks" I groaned at the bathroom mirror in the hotel room. I had expected to look bad but this was on another scale altogether, My silk top had numerous stains, especially around the collar area, but that wasn't the worst of it, why did you wear black eye shadow you twat there were smudged patches at both ends of my eyes, my lipstick slightly resembled the joker and my hair was all knotted and oily. "Bleh" I grabbed a makeup wipe from the cupboard attacking my face as quickly as possible, Cook was due back soon, we had agreed that he would run and get breakfast so that I could shower and pack and we'd both have it in the hotel room.
After cleaning myself up and showering I left the bathroom and headed for my suitcase, the room was clean because Katie had all ready packed and placed her suitcase near the door, I started pulling the clothes I had used out of my case and throwing them on the bed so that I could put them back into one of the vacuum bags.
My body was really feeling it today, my legs still ached from being in heels for so long and my thighs felt like they had been repeatedly punched. I like rough sex but there is a limit, I can only remember snippets from the second half of last night but I do remember that the girl was violent, and there's only so much a warm shower can do. I sat down on the bed sighing, for Christ sakes tiredness hitting me full force, I had felt fine walking back but it is rather hard to be tired around Cook, you can basically see him pouring energy into you. I huffed loudly dragging myself up to go to the window, the sky was overcast today and it would most likely be raining soon so I opted on my blue skinny jeans, grey jumper and converse. Can't be bothered dressing up I smiled at the outfit displayed on my bed.
It didn't take Cook long to return with croissants, toast and tea. "Thanks for getting me" I smiled warmly taking a piece of toast from the plate he had set on the bed "Don't mention it man, had to get outta that birds place didn't I?" he said flopping down next to the plate "had a nice rack though but the Cookie monster has a shag em' and leave em' policy" Cook shrugged. "How'd ya end up here, get any action in the jungle last night?" he cheekily grinned "and spare me no details babe, Cookies all ears" he held a hand behind his ear, clearly waiting for the best story of his life. "I actually have no idea, I was at shitty club with a fit brunette and then I ended up in her bed" I shrugged blowing on my tea. "What happened at the restaurant after I left then?" I asked before taking a sip "didn't hang around, everyone went clubbin cept blondie and jaykins" Naomi didn't go? What about dicksplash? "why didn't they go?" I asked feigning disinterest placing the cup on the bedside table. Cook leaned forward and grinned evilly at me "why didn't blondie go ya mean". Bollocks "hanging round Eff this long has taught me a thing or two" he winked. "Right, well why didn't Naomi go then?" I huffed folding a pair of Jeans. "Dunno man, tired or summit" he shrugged nonchalantly Naomi was tired? she must have just gone to bed, Cook did only mention her and JJ leaving so dicksplash mustn't have left with her A grin spread across my face at this realisation. "You really fancy our Naomikins aye?" Cook asked with general interest, but I couldn't really answer that question because I had no idea what I was feeling about Naomi. Feeling the way I did last night while I watched Bruno slime his dirty hand down her back had made me so jealous I had to leave, I don't even reach that volume of jealousy when it comes to Lisa. At first I had thought Naomi was just another beautiful girl that I wanted to bang but she's actually really great to hang with, she's smart and passionate about the things she believes in, she seems to have a good family life and on top of all things she's loyal to the people she loves. I realised this when we were at the café and she was talking about her friends, a stupid grin plastered across her gorgeous face, all of those things make her looks just a brilliant bonus.
"My first thought when I saw her" I said to Cook who was buttering a croissant "was I want to fuck that girl" we grinned in unison at my confession. I shrugged and took a piece of toast from the plate biting into it "same ere' babe" Cook chuckled "just don't get ya hopes up, I don't think blondie's lookin for any relationships, been through some shit y'know " he shrugged. "what's she been through?" I frowned "can't tell ya babe, not my place, if she wants ya to know you'll know" he gave a friendly smile. "You're a great guy Cook" I sighed frustrated.
After queuing up for 40 minutes surrounded by bus loads of retiree's the groups moral was really low, Katie and Cook had both taken it upon themselves to start something close to a protest by complaining and swearing at the doormen every 5 minutes with
others soon joining in. I decided to busy myself taking photos of the outside of the building; apart from the Moulin Rogue the street was actually pretty ugly. Once we were finally led into the entrance we were all pushed into a cloak room and informed that no cameras were aloud to my disappointment. The actual show we watched was rather shit, the dancers choreography was okay and some of them were pretty hot but I was too annoyed with the lack of service and small tables all bunched together to really enjoy myself.
"That was a bit of a disappointment yes?" Thomas shouted over the group receiving nods and "yeahs" in unison. "This is my third time here and I can now say that I will not be coming back" he shook his head in disappointment "why'd you go the other two times mate?" Freddie asked as we crossed the road "it is my job" Thomas shrugged. "But Thommo doesn't that mean you're supposed to go every tour?" Panda asked confused "yes Panda" Thomas weakly smiled grabbing her hand "but I think they won't mind if I wait out the front".
Once we got back to the metro Thomas gave us all a choice of leaving once we got back to the hotel or all meeting at the hotel at 6 instead so that we could spend a few hours doing our own thing before hitting the road. "What about booking times for the hotels though?" Naomi frowned "Our group is so big that they are very kind, only once have we been there on time before" Thomas smiled at her everyone seeming happy with the answer opted for the latter plan of doing our own thing, promising to meet Thomas at the hotel at 5:30 we all split up. I tagged along with the group who were heading back to the hotel with Thomas because I really needed to get my suitcase on the bus, once that was done I could walk to the Arch De Triumph and take some shots.
"What type of camera is that?" JJ pointed to the camera in my lap as we sat on the train shortly after "Cannon eos 550D" I proudly said handing it across to him. "I don't know much about cameras but it does look very expensive" he smiled weakly at the camera screen. "Oh it was" I chuckled remembering all the times I stayed at home watching TV on a Friday night to save money. "Here JJ" Effy motioned from beside him "I took a photography class" she shrugged at my curious frown. The rest of the trip back was spent with Effy and myself teaching JJ the basics of using a DSLR, to my relief he was a fast learner and actually took some really good shots of us all.
An hour and a half later and I was out the front of the hotel with Naomi, Freddie, JJ, Panda and Thomas helping load the suitcases into the bus. Cook had gone straight to a bar and Effy and Katie wanted to get in some shopping before we left. "That's every ones right?" I yelled to whomever as I mentally counted the suitcases piled together in the bus. Freddie and Thomas carried Katie's suitcase past me "your sister, she has a lot of things" Thomas puffed as they placed it with the other ones underneath the bus. "That's the lot" Freddie informed me stretching his back "Bloomin hell you're strong!" Panda bounced over to Thomas grabbing his arm "mum would go rah rah if she knew I let anyone touch my suitcase but that's okay because wot she don't know wont hurt her!". From all the things Panda has said about her mum I already knew that my mum and she would be two peas in a pod. "Right, so what are we going to do?" Freddie asked everyone "Pandora and I are going to go for a walk" Thomas shrugged with somewhat of a faint blush "Cool mate, ladies?" Freddie asked Naomi as I watched Thomas and Panda stroll off hand in hand "make monkey" I managed to hear Panda say before Thomas hushed her. "Didn't really have any plans" Naomi answered more to me than Freddie does she want to hang out? "Want to go see the Arch De Triomphe?" I asked quickly before dwelling on the thought too long "I was going to take some photos, its not far from here" I added. "Id like to see the Arch De Triomphe" Came JJ's voice "it's a shame that we won't be there later though because since 1923 everyday at 6 the flame of remembrance on the tomb of the Unknown Soldier is rekindled by war veterans and soldiers." he sighed next to Freddie "Oh yeah!, I remember reading that somewhere!" I smiled in realisation.
"It's definitely going to rain soon" I said looking up at the sky which was now filled with heavy grey clouds. Freddie and JJ had been walking ahead of us most of the walk and I felt really awkward at the lack of conversation Naomi and I were having. She had seemed to be lost in thought for most of it, so lost that more than once I had to grab her arm and lead her closer to me to prevent her walking into people, not that I minded the contact of course. "You're one of those girls then?" she smirked looking straight ahead "what girls?" I asked keeping my sight on her. "Oh my hair! my hair!" she squealed grabbing her hair in alarm, obviously teasing me. "No!" I defended, I wasn't one of those girls, my childhood basically consisted of me rolling around outside in the dirt, Katie on the other hand was a whole different story. "I just don't like getting wet" I blushed instantly at my choice of words, thankfully Naomi didn't notice my slip up and if she did she didn't mention it. "It's only a bit of water Em" she giggled finally making eye contact and causing my heart to flutter. "Perhaps I'll give you my coat if it starts to rain, it would be like a tent on you" she winked. "So generous as well as pretty" I smirked knowing what it would do, Naomi quickly turned her head away from me pretending to be interested in a park we were crossing one for me! I laughed.
Naomi and I didn't speak for the rest of the walk but it was a comfortable silence.
"It's massive!" Freddie whistled in awe staring at the Arch De Triomphe. There were a lot of tourists hanging around and cars driving past but they did nothing to take away the beauty of the monument in front of us. I quickly grabbed my camera from its case not wanting to waste a minute and started taking snaps; I got about 10 different ones of it by itself, walking further and closer so that I could get good angles. JJ had insisted on taking some photos of me in front of it which I happily agreed to. The photo's he had taken were really good; I made a mental note to ask him to be the cameraman more often.
"Imagine sitting at the top" JJ squinted from beside me looking upright. I glanced around searching for Naomi in the wave of tourists, she was standing to the far right taking photo's and smiling in a way that made my heart melt. You're so beautiful I thought as I walked closer to her positioning my camera in front of my eye to take a photo of her. I wanted to capture that smile and cherish it forever. I clicked down on the button as I got close enough, the sound alerting Naomi of my presence.
"You know you're meant to ask permission before doing that right?" she chuckled unzipping her bag, I shrugged watching her pull out her packet of smokes. "People may think you're a peeping tom if you keep that up" Naomi smirked placing a smoke in her mouth "s'alright though, I won't tell on you this time" she lit it.
"Thanks" I took the smoke she had offering. "This is definitely better than the Moulin Rogue" I sighed staring at the Arch De Triomphe Naomi hummed in agreeance nodding her head "the actual place did the movie no justice" I thought aloud. "What movie? Naomi asked before taking a drag "you haven't seen the Moulin Rogue!" I snapped my head in her direction in disbelief. "We went there today Em…." Naomi mirrored my expression "No I mean the movie Naoms" she still wasn't catching on, "you know!" I exclaimed "Come what maaaaaay" I sung holding my arms out in the air causing Naomi to giggle.
"I can't believe you haven't seen it" I said as we walked back to JJ and Freddie, Naomi shrugged nonchalantly "I didn't watch much TV growing up, movies included".
After we left the Arch De Triomphe we stopped at a hotdog stand and got milkshakes, everyone but Naomi ordered chocolate "what?" she defended "I like banana's". It turned out to be a really fun afternoon; we had left early enough to take our time so the walk back was quite nice. Naomi told me about her childhood, she was raised by her mother because her father had abandoned them before she was born, they moved around a lot but finally settled in Bristol 5 years ago when her mum fell in love with her politics teacher, Kieran. Naomi said how most of her earliest memories were of her at protests with her mum. It was really nice to learn more about her, usually those types of conversation bore me but Naomi just left me wanting to know more.
By the time we got back to the hotel everyone else was there, it took a while for everyone to check out and even longer because the people who had gone to the pub were halfway pissed and not cooperating with the lady at reception. "Emsy look what I got you!" Katie shoved a small bag into my arms excitedly as we sat on the bus "the guy said it was the proper stuff, not fake I mean" she added looking anxiously at me. "Are you high?" I asked looking up at her quizzically, Katie hardly ever brought me gifts unless it was my birthday or she was getting something out of it. "I'm being a nice sister bitch!" she exclaimed frowning. I reluctantly opened the small bag, just in case something popped out to scare the shit out of me, Naomi who was beside me leaned closer to get a view of the secret gift "wow Katie! It's amazing" I beamed holding the small belly button ring that was shaped as the Eiffel Tower in front of me "thanks" I stood up and hugged her "don't get used to it" she grinned proudly "we went to some markets and got heaps of stuff, you should have come they had so many sales!" I giggled at Effy as she rolled her eyes behind Katie's back. "Next time" I said sitting back in my seat. Katie and Effy took the seats behind us and I was thankful that they had become so close; it gave me the pleasure of sitting next to Naomi.
Reviews? :D Let me know what you guys think! I was also wondering if there was any characters that I should add in more? not enough of…Freddie or Cook or whoever! Let me know :)
On a last note, I really want to thank my bestfriend Jayde for proof reading every chapter of this story so far, and also for putting up with my shit when I constantly ask questions such as "what would Katie get Emily!". Lu you yayeh.
See you all next time!
