Absolutely knackered/hungover after my few days away, just thought I'd update before I crawl into bed and sleep for as long as I can! So this chapter isn't that long, mostly just a fluffy little filler! Hope you all had a great week, I know I did. :) review please!

I awake feeling slightly puzzled as to where I am. I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling for a second or two before I roll over and smile, remembering where I am as soon as I see a head full of white-blonde hair in my face. I breathe in, smelling her shampoo. Strawberry. Amazing.

I lean up and over her to see if she's awake, which she's not. I smile and slowly climb out of the bed, careful not to wake Naomi. I walk over to her closet and pull out a top and some shorts, assuming she won't mind considering I didn't bring anything of my own to change into. I look back at her once more to see her still sleeping, then turn away and take off my top and hold it against my boobs as I lean down to pick the clean one up off the table.

"Now, that is what I call something good to wake up to." I hear Naomi murmur behind me. I turn around and see her sleepily grinning at me, her head wresting propped up on her hand.

"Good morning." I say quietly, turning away again and putting on the clean top then throwing on the shorts as I walk over to her and sit back down on the bed.

"Why are you getting up so early?" She frowns a bit.

"I'm a morning person." I tell her.

"But it's…" She looks over at her clock. "Jesus Em, it's not even 8!"

"Morning person." I raise an eyebrow at her.

"Get back in here now." She orders, and I oblige, taking off my shorts and hopping back under the covers.

She slides her arm over to me, motioning for me to lift up for her to put her arm under my neck, which I do. She pulls me into her and I smile at how touchy… how… snuggly she is. It's a refreshing change to the guys I'm used to being around. They're usually telling you to get your tits out before they even know your name, not that that makes a difference to them.

I roll over a bit and slide my arm around her waist and pull myself into her even more.

"How'd you sleep?" She asks, breaking the silence after a few minutes.

"Perfect. You?"

"Even better." She says, kissing my hair. Jesus, I don't know what's happening but it's crazy. I've known her for about 3 days. And I like her. So much. The weird part is that I think she likes me too. A lot. Jesus, it makes me sad to think about being away from her, even though I'm here for another 5 and a bit weeks. It's strange, and I'm not sure if I like it. I mean of course I like it. I like her, I like being around her. But I don't like the thought of not being around her, well, all the time. It's disconcerting.

"Do you have any plans for the day?" I ask her.

"Nope, do you?"

"I don't know barely anyone around here. My parent's are completely oblivious to anything going on in anyone else's lives, Katie's probably having a fuck-a-thon with Cook, and I'm guessing James is going to be spending the day trying to talk up every girl he sees. Why would I have plans?"

She laughs, "Good, you're mine for the day then."

"Perfect." I whisper.

"Do you want to get breakfast?"

"Soon." I whisper even more softly.

So I lied. We didn't have breakfast 'soon'. We fell asleep. It's almost 11 now and Naomi's just woken me up.

"Christ," I say rubbing my eyes. "How the hell did that happen?"

She laughs. "God knows, you hungry?" I nod.

She turns away and gets changed quickly and we both go downstairs. Kieran is out, but Gina's sitting in the kitchen reading the paper.

"Oh, morning, girls. Didn't realise you were up." Gina says, putting the paper down.

"Morning." I say politely.

"Would you like some tea?"

"Yeah, thanks."

"Naomi, get the poor girl some tea." She says. "I'll have to apologise about my daughter's terrible hosting skills."

I laugh and sit down as Naomi rolls her eyes, making us both a cup of tea.

"Jesus, Naomi. You're up pretty early. Thought you'd both be in bed all day." She winks at me. What the fuck?

"Yeah, well, we're not." Naomi plasters a smile upon her face and brings me my cup of tea and sits next to me.

"So what's the deal with you two, then?" Gina asks, eyebrows raised. I almost spit out my tea at her straightforwardness, god, she's so like Naomi.

"What do you mean, mother?" Naomi asks nonchalantly, grabbing the paper and flicking through it.

"Oh come on, Naomi." Gina rolls her eyes. "I'm not as stupid as I look. I want to know the goss."

"What makes you think Emily's 'that way inclined'?" Naomi asks, looking at me.

"Oh, please. You may as well have 'gay' written in big black letters across your forehead, especially when you're looking at my daughter the way you do." She tells me, holy fucking shit. I turn what probably appears as a tomatoish shade of red.

"God mum, you're embarrassing her." Naomi says, patting my arm, though still trying to suppress her own laughter.

"But you're together, yes?" Gina asks.

"Well, we've only known each other a few days." I say once I've regained the colour in my face.

"True, but I like to think that we're… well… at least, a little bit… together?"

"Yeah, yeah." I smile.

"You can be my summer love if you like." She asks me, taking my hand in hers. "I've never had one… not a proper one anyway." She says stupidly, looking into space. Ha, I can't help but feel like she's taking the piss, though remembering she's really just that cute, my heart melts a bit.

"I'd be honoured." I grin and she leans in, meeting me halfway as I kiss her softly.

"Okay okay, I haven't had breakfast yet, you know." Gina interrupts us and we both look at her and laugh.

"My um… my parents don't exactly know about any of this." I tell Gina awkwardly. "Or about me… me not being completely straight. So I'd appreciate it if you didn't…"

"My lips are sealed. Kieran doesn't have to know, either." She smiles. God, I wish my mum could be a bit more like Naomi's.

"Thanks." I say, genuinely grateful.

"Anyway, finished your tea?" Naomi asks me.

I take a last gulp. "Yep." I say, wiping my mouth.

"Fuck, you're adorable." She grabs the sides of my face and kisses me.

"Oh for god's sake." Gina says as I pull away. "I guess I should get used to this. Not that I'm not. God, you should see Naomi back home. I wouldn't exactly call her a slut, though a lot of people do, I think she's more-"

"Fuck sake, mum." Naomi interrupts, looking nothing short of embarrassed.

"It's okay." I say to Naomi, laughing.

"Anyway, you girls go upstairs," Gina winks again. "I'll wash your cups."

"Let's go." Naomi says, standing up and dragging me upstairs.

"And don't forget-" I yell to Gina while she's still in sight, but she finishes my sentence for me by motioning zipping her lip and doing a 'thumb's up'.

The second the door crashes behind us she's got me up against the wall. I groan as she pulls away after only a few seconds. Fucking tease. I'm a little surprised when she wraps her arms around me tightly and buries her head in my neck, hugging me. Of course, I hold her back and place my chin on her head. She kisses my shoulder and neck softly and I smile.

I can't believe how easy it's becoming to fall in love with a perfect stranger.
