Chapter Seven

It was around 4:00pm on Sunday and a frustrated scream rang out through the Campbell household. In Naomi's bedroom, Naomi was stood beside her wardrobe hair still damp from getting out of the shower. She huffed again; she was currently trying to find something to wear for her first date with Emily. She started searching through her wardrobe again; she managed to pull out a pair of jeans and her favourite t-shirt. She then covered them with a long black cardigan. She used a hair dryer to dry her hair and put a small amount of makeup on. She looked at the clock and saw that it was 10 minutes to 5 o'clock. Butterflies started to flutter around in her stomach as she thought about her plan for tonight's date; she skipped down the stairs and sat down at the kitchen table ready and waiting for Emily to arrive. About 5 minutes later the doorbell rang through the house, Naomi's breath caught in her throat, she made her way towards the door she could see the red blur of Emily's hair through the frosted window in the door. She swung opened the door to find a nervous looking Emily standing on the door step; she was playing with the bottom of her t-shirt and had a small smile, which lit up her face, when she saw Naomi.

"Hey"

Naomi

I lost my breath as I opened the door, there she was stood there, god she looks so cute, she was obviously nervous, she's always been fidgety when she's nervous, she smiles at me and I feel my heart clench.

"Hey"

Her husky voice broke the silence between us, I smiled back at her

"Hi"

She raises her eyebrows,

"So are we going or are we staying here?"

I laughed

"Yeah were going out, just let me get something."

I went back into the house, I walked into the kitchen and picked up the large blanket that I had folded up and placed there this morning. I returned to Emily and grabbed her hand and squeezed it, I pulled her down the pathway, I savoured the feel of our hands gripped together before I let go, I picked up the bike from the wall were I had left it. I sighed and looked behind me giving Emily a small smile,

"So please tell me you remembered to bring your bike"

Emily's face contorted in a look of disbelief.

"I'll have you know that I did bring my bike."

Emily turned and disappeared into the bushes for a moment before reappearing bike in tow. I laughed

"Why on earth was it in there?"

Emily smiled. She started of walking down the road. I rolled my eyes and followed

"Shouldn't I be the one leading seeing as I know where were going?"

Emily stopped and bowed

"Of course master"

I laughed and playfully pushed Emily, I then straddled my bike and set off, with a quick glance behind me to make sure Emily was following, we set off.

It had been about 10 minutes into the short bike ride, we had left the city soon after setting of and we were now riding down a old lane, that was when I heard a clatter behind me. I swivelled my neck to see behind me and was met with the sight of Emily on the ground. Shit. I immediately stopped and got off my bike. I rushed towards her, hoping she was all right. I knelt down trying to find out if she had injured herself.

"Are you ok Ems?"

"Yeah course, but I don't think the bike is"

I turned my head to see the bike's mangled form. I shook my head.

"That doesn't matter, are you hurt?"

Emily smile up at me warmth radiated through my heart,

"Yeah, I'm perfect"

I smiled back and stood up. I stuck my hand out and pulled her up.

"Come on"

I walked over to my bike, and waited for Emily to collect what was left of hers. We started to walk, bikes slowly being pulled along beside us.

"So why was your bike in my hedge?"

Emily's eyes seemed to glaze over for a second before she started her story.

"Do you remember about a month ago? You had walked to the park to meet up with Effy and Pandora, you called me and invited me along, I turned up on my bike of course, and you

were all lying their sunbathing. Anyway I can't remember who started it but we ended up in a water fight with some younger kids, you were running around like a manic and tripped on a stone. Your arm was bleeding everywhere. The boys had run off as soon as they had saw what had happened and Effy was having to calm down Pandora who was having her own little panic attack, so I pulled you up sat you on the bike and gave you a backie to your house, when you got off the bike I just pushed it away too busy trying to get you into the house. And that's how it got there"

Emily's story finished and I couldn't help but grin, god that day had been so fun, until of course I had injured myself, once Emily had taken me home, my mum had taken me to hospital, three stitches it had taken to close the cut, I snapped out of my thoughts as I heard the sound of rushing water we had been heading down the country lane for a good couple of minutes totally engrossed by Emily's story, I turned into a little side path and heard Emily follow me, she should know where were going, she had found this place after all.

It was after one particularly bad argument with Katie, Ems had run away and no one could find her. I'd been searching for a good hour before I'd got a text giving me direction of where to find her. It had become our special place ever since then, no one else knew about it, and if we ever had something to deal with you could always guarantee the other person would find you there sooner or later. We had cleared a large tree when I heard Emily gasp. I looked around and smiled at her, she smiled back, and she reached out and grabbed my hand.

"It's perfect"

I turned back to inspect my work, it hadn't taken me a long time to think of place we could go, in fact I had already known where we were going. I had set all of this up at around about 1:00. In the middle of the clearing was a small blanket, next to it laid a medium sized picnic bag, it was simple but still romantic. I knew that Emily didn't really like the overly romantic cheesiness that you see on the movies. I grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to the clearing, I let go and let my bike rest against a tree, and I then pulled out the extra blanket and placed it on the floor next to the picnic. Emily had stayed silent throughout, I looked at her she was still smiling and looked like she was day dreaming. I smiled and leaned into to kiss her, she jerked as my lips touched hers but she immediately responded. I pulled back

"Hello, welcome back."

She blushed and giggled. My heart soared.

"Sorry, it's just that this is just so perfect, you know simple but so meaningful."

I puffed out my chest

"Well you know I do try"

Emily laughed and pushed me away lightly. I pulled her along with me; we sat down on the blanket. I leaned across Emily and pulled the picnic basket towards me over Emily.

"So Madame what do we have for dinner today?"

"Well for dinner this evening we have an assortment of sandwiches, a bottles of red wine, some bags of crisps, and some of your favourites snacks,"

I pulled out the pack of Kit-Kats, I heard Emily's small squeal of excitement, and I laughed as she leaned across and gave me a sloppy kiss. I pushed her away still chuckling.

We had finished my small picnic, it was about 7 o'clock and we were lying underneath the extra blanket that I had bought with me, she was lying on my arm while we looking up into the nights sky. I heard her let out a small sigh.

"Thank you for this Naoms"

I shrugged my shoulders the best I could, Emily had turned into me and was looking up at me with her perfectly brown eyes.

"It was no bother really, I'm just glad that you enjoyed it."

She slowly sat up leaning over me, her red hair framing her face and gently swaying against my body, she looked at me.

"This has been absolutely perfect Naoms, the best date I've ever been on"

I raised my eyebrows.

"Really and what frame of reference is this too"

I asked playfully. She blushed and ducked her head, her hair falling so I could no longer see her face. I smirked knowing that she was blushing.

"Ems,"

I said softly. She didn't look up at me.

"Ems"

I said with a bit more force. She slowly looked at me under her eye lids. I felt my heart clench as I realised just how much she had captured my heart. I moved my hand and brushed the hair away from her face I then cupped her face.

"I'm glad you like it"

Ems smiled at me and leaned down and kissed me.

I moaned as her soft tongue brushed up against my bottom lip sending tingles all the way through my body. I opened my lips and invited her in; her tongue slowly wrapped its self around mine.

We stayed kissing like this for a moment savouring the taste of one another before I pulled back slightly to feed my burning lungs with oxygen. My fingers were still tangled up in her red locks, and I used this to my advantage as I rolled us over so I was now on top, straddling her, hands on the blanket either side of her head. I looked at her and a small gasp escaped my now swollen lips, she was beautiful, I smirked at her and leaned back down to kiss her once again, she responded immediately. I moved my leg so it was in-between her thighs, pressing against her. She broke the kiss and softly gasped throwing her head back as she bucked her hips, increasing the pressure against me. I moved my lips down onto her now exposed neck, slowly kissing, moving my way up her jaw line to her ear, where I nibbled at her ear lobe, Ems hissed again and I chuckled.

I was spun over onto my back, Ems now straddling me, she looked down at me smirking, I gulped and waited for her to make a move, she slowly pulled her shirt off her body revealing a tantalising amount of creamy skin. She threw it over to the edge of the blanket; I looked on in awe at her bra clad body as she leaned down again and kissed me, I grabbed her bare waist revelling in the feel of her soft skin against mine I brought my hand up her back, grazing my fingernails along her smooth skin. I gasped as I felt her leg press up against me causing a delicious friction. I gasped, pleasure now starting to roll around my body. She tugged at the bottom of my t-shirt, and I sat up slightly and raised my arms as she pulled it off my body. I started to kiss her again addicted to the taste and feel of her lips on mine, we slowly lay back down bring our body together. I gripped Emily's small shoulders and turned us over so I was now on top again.

Before I managed to get back to kissing her, I heard the sound of an owl, hooting in the distance, it was then that I realised where we were. Emily leaned up and started to kiss me again pulling me down, I sighed and forced myself to regain some self control, I found her arms and placed them at her sides holding them there, I stopped kissing her, resting my forehead against hers. Our heavy breathing was the only thing that I could hear.

"We need to stop"

I opened my closed eyes and looked down at her. A puzzled and slightly hurt look crossed her face.

"Oh, was it something I did or was it..."

I shook my head and gave her a quick kiss to stop her.

"No, you were fine, great, amazing, it's just that were in a wood"

She looked around and gave me another weird look

"So?"

I got of her leaning back on my knees; she sat up using her elbows as support.

"It's just, I don't want our first time to be on a blanket in the middle of a wood, I want it to be in a cosy bed and for it to be special, you know?"

I trailed off, for god's sake Naomi you sound ridiculous.

She started to smile, understanding now crossing her face she, leaned forward even more and gave me a slow kiss.

"I understand, but you also have to know that it won't matter to me where we do it, it'll be special just because it's you"

We kissed again; I leaned over and picked up both of our, tops, slipping mine back on and giving Emily hers. We pack away the stuff, pulling our bikes upright we started off on the walk home.

Hi, sorry I haven't updated in a while, to make up for it I've made the chapter longer. One of the reasons I haven't published this until now is the fact that I like to have at least two chapters more done that what I've published. (If that makes sense?) Just gives me safe of mind :) but unfortunately I found writing the next chapter really hard. I did it though and I also wrote the final chapter of this story. I'm considering doing a sequel, let me know if you would read it or would be interested. It would basically be about them during their last year at college trying to keep it a secret.

Review Please.
