Chapter seven
Emily went to the shop and bought all the alcohol, snacks and chose a handful of DVD's for us to watch.
To be honest, I wanted to just spend some time with Jess alone, We haven't really spent that much time together, let alone together and alone.
Hopefully Freddie will be his usual self and request an earlier night.
Hopefully.
I'm quickly running my straighteners through my hair as the clock nears seven. I hear Emily come in with the shopping. I finish and go and see which films she picked.
"What ya got then?"
"Well, I've got a few bottles of wine, some crisps and dip and for the films there is a choice of four."
"Right, lets have them"
"For your more scary night I've got the latest Saw and something called One Missed Call. Sounded good in the store"
"Right"
"And for more of a romantic night I've got two chick flicks. Made of Honour and Sex Drive"
"Sex Drive?" I quirk my eyebrow up, "That doesn't really sound romantic"
"Oh, it is... trust me, it's a great film"
"Ok, I'll trust you" She smiles at me. The doorbell rings, and my heart rate picks up. I run to the door, squealing a little, god I feel like such a child, but hey. "Oh, hi Freddie" He chuckles a little,
"Aww, nice to see you too Naomi" He grins, walking past me and approaching Emily. He gives her a quick peck on the lips and puts his arm around her shoulders. "I think you were expecting somebody slightly better looking" He grins, Emily nudges him in his side, "Ouch, what was that for?"
"Don't be a dick, this is a big night for Naomi" I frown at her, "Well, I mean, it's really the first time you've really gone on a date..."
"Not really"
"...with somebody you intend to see again" She says quietly,
"Oh, right. I just forgot that I'm a whore who only ever sleeps with a girl once and never sees them again, right, don't worry, I won't forget again" I say bitterly as I walk to the cupboard and get four wine glasses out.
"Woah, calm down ladies" Freddie says, holding his hands out in front of him, "What's going on?"
"Nothing" Both Emily and I say in unison, he simply looks at us as if we've gone mad. He pours us all a glass and thank fuck there is another knock at the door. I breathe a sigh of relief. I open the door and I don't have to actually fake a smile, just seeing her again makes me smile.
"You look great" I say as I give her a quick kiss on the lips and an elongated hug in the doorway.
"Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself" She smiles devilishly as she looks me up and down,
"Ok, Naomi, put her down" Freddie laughs while Emily scowls at him. Jess and I chuckle at his comment, and I finally let her actually enter my house. "I'm not sure you remember us, you were pretty wasted" Freddie says kindly, he extends his hand,
"Freddie and Emily, right?" She smiles genuinely, shaking their hands. "I hear congratulations are in order"
"Yeah, we're engaged" Emily smiles and lifts her hand up to show the ring,
"Wow, that's beautiful" She smiles, "When's the big day?"
"A week from Saturday" Freddie answers,
"So soon?" She looks a little shocked.
"Yeah. You should totally come if you're not busy" Freddie says, and I chance a glance at Emily who doesn't look so happy at the invitation. I think Emily and I are going to have an eventful evening...
After the small talk and finishing one of the wines we move into the living room. I have a huge corner sofa, Freddie and Emily sit at one side and Jess and I sit at the other. Only a foot or so away from Emily, though.
"So what we chosen?" I ask,
"Sex Drive" Emily smiles,
"Yeah, I've seen this, its funny" Jess says, "Funny and sweet"
"What's it about?" Freddie asks,
"Basically this guy is fed up of being a virgin so he starts talking to this girl on the internet, and they arrange to meet, and knowing full well that he's going to lose his virginity, he steals his brothers car and drives cross country to see her, with his two best friends... One male, one female. Need I say more?" She smiles, I wasn't really listening to what she was saying, I was studying her more. Her dirty blonde hair, her piercing green eyes, the way her mouth moved as she spoke. The huskiness of her voice. The cute mannerisms she has as she speaks, moving her hands to add emphasis to what she's saying. I must look like a love-struck teenager, and you know what, I feel like it.
"Oh, there's no point watching it now" Emily says smirking as she takes a sip of her wine.
"Emily can I have a word in the kitchen please?" I say firmly, and she looks a little scared, but obeys anyway. I give Jess a quick kiss and tell her I'll be right back. Freddie looks as confused as Jess is about how Emily is reacting, but I forget it for now. I close the door behind us and study her, she looks nervous, "What the fuck is going on?" I say, my voice hushed slightly,
"Nothing"
"Don't give me that shit, Emily. I not fucking stupid" I pause, waiting for her to say something, but she doesn't, "Do you have a problem with Jess?"
"No" She says quickly,
"Why are you acting like a fucking child then?"
"I'm not" She says, her voice picking up a little, "Stop acting superior Naomi, just because you've finally developed the balls to start a relationship with somebody" I take a step back from her, her voice sounded so full of hate as she said that sentence, it knocked me for six. I don't even bother with a reply, I simply walk away from her and walk back into the living room. Jess looks a little worried. I sit down, my hand falling on her lap,
"Nothing to worry about" I smile sadly, her eyes sympathetic as she places a delicate kiss on my lips. Freddie mouths a sorry to me and I just nod slightly.
Emily who now has a full glass of wine in her hand, knocks back her drink as she sits down. "Are we putting this film on then?" she asks, her voice indifferent. I press play on the remote and the following 100 minutes are spent in relative silence, besides from the occasional laugh. I'd turned the lights out as soon as the film started and Jess is fucking killing me!
Her hand has been laid on my thigh for probably the past 99 minutes, her thumb gently rubbing circles around my inner thigh. She knows exactly what she's doing to me. Worse yet, she's enjoying every single second of it.
I see her head turn to face me out the corner of my eye, and I see the smirk on her face. I decide to wipe it off.
I gently grab her chin and stare into those green orbs. A smile dancing on my lips an a scared expression displayed on her face, the good scared. I lean in slowly, licking my lips as I get closer, I see her eyes begin to fall shut as I close the gap. My teeth taking her bottom lip and gently biting down, she whimpers, but it's a very quiet whimper. I run my tongue across her lip and I feel her body shake slightly. My mouth opens, as does hers, and my tongue slowly reaches in and touches hers. She tightens her grip as my hand moves down to her neck. She wants to deepen the kiss, but I pull away slowly, making sure she follows me, as her eyes open, wondering where I've gone I'm sure she see's the smirk I'm now wearing, and her pupils suddenly dilate.
1-1.
"Bitch" She whispers to me and I laugh. I stand up and grab my glass,
"Anyone for more wine?" Emily and Freddie nod,
"I'll help" Jess smirks she stands up.
"Ok" I smile wide. I close the door behind us as we go to the kitchen. I grab the bottle opener and a new bottle out of the fridge. I walk to the counter and pull the cork out, pouring the glasses. I suddenly feel two hands at my waist, gripping me tightly, I turn around and I'm faced with the darkest green eyes I've ever seen in my life. I lick my lips, expecting what's coming. As if on cue her lips collide with mine. She pushes me back into the counter, hard I might add. I groan. Her hands still at my waist, working their way up. Only this time I push her to the other side of the room, grabbing the back of her legs and pushing her onto the counter.
We aren't exactly being quiet, but hey, we need to do something, even if its just rough kissing. I pull away and look at her, her beautiful panting form sat in front of me, her eyes begging for me to take her right here, right now. Oh I wish I could. "Fuck me" She says quietly, my bottom lip falls between my teeth as I bite down hard, I shake my head,
"Not now... later" I say hungrily. She looks defeated, but I kiss her again, I slow it down this time, taking my time. Until we hear a cough that is,
I don't need to tell you who it is do I?
"Erm, sorry, the films finished... I uh came to get another" Almost as soon as she comes in, she leaves with the DVDs in her hands. Her eyes not meeting with us at all.
"Shit" I say, and all Jess can do is laugh,
"I wonder how long she was stood there for?" She laughs, "I hope not too long"
"Me neither... that's a bit embarrassing"
"You were nearly fucking me on your kitchen counter love, I imagine it will take them a while to accept an offer of dinner here for a long time" She laughs,
"Yeah" I say quietly, "Maybe we should go and join them"
"Yeah I think that's a good idea" she jumps down from the counter, "Just give me a minute to collect myself" I laugh as I grab two wine glasses.
"Ok, don't be long"
I walk into the living room and instantly feel the thick atmosphere. I pass Emily her drink, she doesn't even look at me... and then I pass Freddie's he thanks me and I sit back down.
She can't be pissed, she gatecrashed tonight... fuck sake.
