Emily's POV
After spending the rest of the week stepping on egg shells around Naomi I was glad when Friday was finally here. Driving to Gobbler's End with Effy, Katie, JJ, Freddie, Pandora, Thomas and Cook I knew all I wanted to was get fucked. All of a sudden Effy stopped the car, I turned to see why and that's when I spotted that familiar yellow house. Having spent the past couple days not talking to Naomi I didn't really know if this was going to be the best idea. I want Naomi to know that I'm willing to wait for her until she sorts out the issues she has, I'm pretty sure she likes me just as much as I do her. So at her speed it goes.
"Effy, why have you stopped?" it was Katie's voice that brought me out of my daze.
"I told Naomi she was coming." Effy beeped a few times. I looked up to see that Effy was looking at me through the rear view mirror, she had that knowing look in her eyes. I don't get how she seems to know absolutely everything about everyone, without even being told.
"What? Why?" Katie shrieked, making me look away from Effy only to see Naomi emerging from her house.
"Why not?"
"I don't get why you lot insist on being her friend so badly. She ain't that special." she sulked.
As Naomi approached the car I looked around to see that the only space was next to me, I can feel my hands already starting to sweat at the idea of being so close to her. I scoot over into the middle next to Pandora as Naomi opens the car door. She gives a timid "Hey" and sits down, as she pushes her bags to the floor her hand grazes my leg and I have to look down, afraid to face Pandora because the odds are she'll point out just how red my face has gone. About 10 minutes into the journey Effy turns on the radio and on comes Blame It On The Boogie by Jackson 5. Everybody starts singing almost immediately, taking the tension out of the car instantaneously, even Katie seems too be enjoying herself. Glancing over at Naomi, she flashes me one of the most gorgeous smiles I think I've ever seen, and for a split second I forgot everybody else was there. I never thought it possible for my stomach to do so many flips.
Out of nowhere Cook produces bottles of beer from the boot where him, JJ and Thomas are sat.
"Here you are, ladies" he holds one out for Naomi. "you having one, Blondie?" I cringe instantly at his new found nickname for her, I turn to look at him giving her one of his trademark smiles, I knew exactly what that smile meant and it made me feel sick.
As we park up by Gobbler's End and get out, everyone gets into groups to walk. In front is Freddie, JJ and Cook, behind them is me, Katie and Effy and walking behind is Thomas, Pandora and Naomi. I can hear Pandora talking, although I'm not entirely too sure what she's saying, you never can be. The whole way there I can hear Naomi's laugh, making my heart ache that it's not me causing it.
As soon as we get there the boys start to collect firewood whilst the girls set up the tents. As soon as all that's done the sleeping arrangements are made. Katie and Effy, JJ, Freddie and Cook, Thomas and Pandora which left me and Naomi, much to Katie's distaste.
We were all sat round the fire drinking and listening to music on the iPod docking station when Effy emerged from the trees.
"Wowzer Ef, where did you come from?"
Effy didn't answer but came over and sat in the circle, she put her jacket onto the floor and unwrapped what she had inside.
"Look what I found… Shrooms." Effy stated concisely.
An hour later and we're all dancing around the fire (minus Katie and Freddie who have fucked off somewhere) with spliffs and sparklers that JJ brought along with him, not to mention we're all absolutely fucked. I close my eyes and let myself get lost in the music, I feel a pair of hands snake themselves onto my hips from behind me, still not opening my eyes I place my hands on top of them and we sway in unison. I lean my head back and I can feel light kisses being placed onto my neck, it's only then I realise the lips don't feel familiar. I open my eyes and turn around to see Effy stood behind me, her face void of expression. I saw a quick motion out of the corner of my eye and saw it was Naomi rushing into the tent. I looked back at Effy dumbfounded before walking over to the tent.
I could see Naomi was laying down, facing the side of the tent. Without speaking I crept inside the tent did the door half way up. I sit just behind her and it's then I notice her shoulders are shaking. I lean forward and place my hand on her arm.
"Nai?" she doesn't answer me. "please." I'm just about to pull my hand away when she grips onto it.
"I wanted it to be me when I was watching you and Effy dance." she utters softly.
"If I'm honest I thought it was you at first." I whisper into her ear as I lay down behind her, her hand still gripped onto mine. "maybe it was just wishful thinking" I chuckle. I hear Naomi laugh and she turns round to face me.
"I was jealous that I wasn't that close to you."
I edge closer to her, noses almost touching. "you're that close to me now."
Naomi pushes her lips against mine, her hands on my lower back, pulling me closer to her. I pull back and she looks confused. I bite my lip and it's as if she could read the questions in my eyes.
"Emily, I'm sure." I give her a small nod and without warning she gently lifts my body up so that I'm straddling her. I raise my eyebrow at her and smile cheekily before leaning down and capturing her lips in mine. I can feel her tongue against my lips, asking for entrance. I gladly oblige. I run my fingers slowly along her thigh, knowing full well how much I was teasing her because she moans into the kiss. I sit up and pull on the hem of her jumper, which she pulls over her head. I gently kiss along her collarbone and I run my hand along her stomach, she takes a sharp intake of breath and I smile knowing that I can do that to her. I reposition myself and my knee ends up in-between her legs, she moans and bucks her hips towards me. I lean forward and smile into another kiss, I put my all into it, hopefully showing her just how much I want her. I further my hand up her stomach and I slip my hand under her bra, feeling just how excited she is, caressing her nipple with my thumb. I look into Naomi's eyes and I can see the lust in them, I can see that she wants more. I move my hand down to her front, rubbing my finger along her. Just as I'm about to give her more the tent door zips fully open. I launch myself off Naomi to see Katie stood at the door, a furious look on her face.
"Katie." without speaking Katie steps inside the tent, grabs my arm and forcefully pulls me out, but not before giving Naomi a look of pure hatred. I have time to glance over at Naomi and mouth "I'm sorry" before Katie drags me over to her tent.
"Effy. You're going to stay in Emily's tent with Naomi. Emily's in here."
Effy looks at us and can clearly see she shouldn't ask questions, she nods, gets up and leaves. Katie drags me into the tent and sits down. For a minute she stares at me, I'm unsure of what she's going to do.
"Emily, what the fuck are you playing at?" she doesn't sound angry.
I don't know what to say, I don't want to tell her that I'm gay, but I'll have to face the music at some point. I take a huge breath. "I'm gay, Katie." she doesn't reply, she just watches me.
"You're not gay. You're just stupid." she spits at me.
"What?"
"You've just conjured up this thing with Naomi because I dunno, maybe you're jealous of me."
"Jealous?"
"Yes, jealous. Now as far as I'm concerned, it's the drugs." and with that Katie gets into her sleeping bag and faces the other way.
"Katie. Look at me, I'm still Emily." I say trying one more time to convince her.
"Not gay, stupid." she mumbles.
I admit defeat and lay down, trying to fall into a dream where things actually happen the way I want them to, and not the way Katie wants them to.
