Chapter 11

Naomi POV

So I might off let Emily think that I was going out to introduce Hannah to mum again, after 10 years. Not quite true. Hannah and I had already sorted that out and I wasn't introducing her to mum myself. Instead I was now stood outside a very elaborate jeweller choosing an anniversary present for Emily. In the window was a very simple design of a necklace. It was a silver chain and had a raindrop shaped stone in it. The stone was the most beautiful of blues and stood out perfectly against the subtle silver chain. I knew this was the one for Emily. The only problem was the price. £264.99. Great.

"Naomi."

"Hannah. You made it. Only twenty five minutes late as well. A new record."

"Shut it Naomi. You found a present yet?"

"Yea. But it's too expensive. I can't afford it but it's perfect for her."

"Which one?"

"That one right there."

I pointed to the silver necklace and Hannah studied it through the shop window.

"It is nice. I'll get it for you if you want and you can pay me back bit by over the next however many months."

"WHAT. Hannah you can't do that it's too much. You've helped out so much already when it comes to the cost off today."

"I can do it and I am going to. It's fine ok. I have some money spare. Enough to pay for that at least."

"I'm sure I can find something else for her."

"Naomi stop. I will buy the necklace. End of discussion."

"No Hannah...."

But she was already in the store pointing the necklace out to the shop assistant. I stepped into the store after her as she was placing her card in the machine ready to pay.

"Thanks."

"Don't mention it. You can pay me back when you have the money."

"No really. You don't understand what this means to me."

"I saw the look on your face when you saw the necklace. It was that look that says this is what I want. Now you have it. No complaining and no more thank you's ok. "

"Jeez what are you? A millionaire paramedic."

"Something like that. Yea. Here. See you later."

She handed me the bag with the necklace in and walked out the store leaving me to think about her last comment. Millionaire paramedic. Yea right.

Emily POV

Naomi had made me breakfast this morning for our anniversary and then left before I had even gotten out of bed. She had promised me that she wouldn't be gone to long but considering what she was going to be doing I thought that she might be a while so I took my time getting ready for the day. I lounged around in bed for another hour after I had finished my breakfast before getting up and showered. I noticed that Naomi had picked out an outfit for me to wear. As I got closer to it I noticed a small piece of paper lay on top of the clothing.

E

Be at our lake for 5:00pm tonight. Wear this outfit please. See you there. Love you.

N ;-)

Now she had my attention. Naomi never left mysterious messages for me. She never left normal messages. I looked at the time noticing that my lounging around had cost me the majority of the day. It was one o clock already. I got dressed in some tracksuit bottoms and a tank top. Not much point in me wearing the outfit that Naomi had laid out for me yet. Knowing me I would probably just ruin it somehow before tonight. I wrapped her anniversary present and then spent the rest of the time watching TV. At four I figured that I should start getting ready so I walked into my room and had a quick was h before putting my outfit on. It was a nice black dress which ended at my knees and a pair of black heels to match it. At half past four there was a knock at my door. Opening it I had the shock off my life. Cook in a tuxedo, a penguin suit. He looked quite dashing in it really.

"Scrub up well don't you cookie."

"Don't look to bad yourself Em. You ready to go."

"Er, sorry?"

"I'm your ride. Naomi asked me to come pick you up and take you to your lake. She said she would see you there."

"Wow."

"Oh yea. She told me to give you this as well."

He pulled a lone rose from behind his back and held it out to me. I took it from him and read the note attached.

For you Em with all my love

I put the note in my handbag and took cooks arm which he had just extended out to me and we headed out side. A long black limo was parked at the curb.

"Naomi hired it for me to drive you to the lake in."

"What, how?"

"Apparently her sisters been giving her a hand with the cost off today. Naomi keeps saying she will pay her back so don't go getting all upset at her for borrowing the money hey."

"Yea. Sure."

"Ready to go then Miss Fitch"

He opened the door for me and I stepped inside and sat in one off the many chairs in there.

"Just a few stops to make on the way Ems. Hope you don't mind."

On the way we stopped to pick up Effy, Panda, Katie, Freddie, JJ and Thomas. Each and everyone off them looked absolutely stunning in their dresses or tuxedo's. They all hugged me and wished me happy anniversary as they got in the limo and we talked about all sorts of things until we came to a stop at the lake.

"Where here everyone."

And cook exited the limo and opened the door to let us all out. I got out and stared. The lake had been decorated so beautifully. Lights had been placed around some off the trees encircling the lake. A Buffet table was set up along with a number of small white tables. The sun was setting over the lake and Naomi stood their looking out over the water. To say it was perfect was an understatement.
