Listen To Your Heart
"Can't we just sit like this for a bit?" Emily asks with her arms and legs curled around Naomi's sitting upright body. She kisses Naomi's neck softly and nuzzles her forehead into Naomi's back.
Naomi smiles and chuckles, "Em, you have a class in fifteen minutes." Naomi stands up from the bed, lifting Emily with her. Emily secures her arms around Naomi's chest and giggles as her piggy back ride begins. "I don't want to become a bad influence on your class attendance. We've skipped an awful lot this past week."
Emily sighs as Naomi plops her down on the desktop. "Okay okay. I'll go." She pouts as Naomi kisses her forehead.
"Good girl," Naomi smiles as she collects her books and shoves them into her bag. "Now get a move on, we got to leave… like now." Emily jumps up and runs next door, throwing on a jumper and a pair of jeans. She steps in the bathroom to make herself presentable. With a knock at the door ,she knows it's time to leave and she grabs her stuff.
Emily flies out of the door with a grin and grabs Naomi's hand as they walk the hall. Naomi smiles and hands Emily a granola bar, "Eat this in class, don't want my girl's belly rumbling." Emily smiles and kisses Naomi on the cheek as they enter the stairwell.
They make their way into Emily's building still hand in hand, and Naomi walks her to her class door. Naomi peeks in and smiles, "You better get in… I'll see you after class?"
Naomi steps away, extending their arms and Emily pulls her back. She kisses her gently and whispers, "See you later." Emily bites her lip and turns on her heal and enters the classroom. Naomi smiles over her shoulder and walks off to her own.
As Naomi approaches her building, she sees a cloud of smoke come over her shoulder. She already knows who is lingering in her blind spot. "Morning Ef."
"Hey." Effy responds.
"Sooo are you going to walk with me or just follow a step behind?" Naomi turns to look at Effy.
"Well, the view is nicer from where I'm standing." Effy smirks as she blows smoke from the side of her mouth and takes a giant step to catch up with Naomi.
Naomi smiles and shakes off Effy's comment. "So how are you today?"
Effy takes another drag of her cigarette and shrugs, "Can't complain." They walk to the wall of the building and Effy leans against it while Naomi takes a seat on the ground. "I finished the fliers for the program, they look pretty sweet."
"Oh great. I talked to Diana and she's available next Wednesday. Does that work with you?" Naomi looks up at Effy who is finishing her cigarette. Effy flicks it away and slides down the wall, taking a seat next to Naomi.
"I'll let Mike know we need the main lounge Wednesday then. I reserved Monday and Tuesday just in case." Effy smiles at Naomi, lingering there. "So we should go over what moves we want to show the girls, yeah?"
Naomi nods, "Yeah, we should probably have a set of moves and leave time for questions."
"Are you free for dinner tonight?" Effy looks at Naomi, her intensity lowered. Naomi pauses, feeling that familiar Effy knot in her stomach. Effy rolls her eyes, "Come on, girls gotta eat right? We can go over the moves then, unless you want to come to mine later, I'm on duty tonight."
Naomi nods her head, "Well, I have dinner plans with Emily tonight. So I can swing by later if that's okay."
Effy smiles, "I look forward to it. Come on, we should get in." She nudges Naomi and stands up. Naomi stands and grabs her bag.
Later that day Naomi is sprawled out on the floor of her room, working on posters for the program. Her door is open as it tends to be, letting La Roux's "Bulletproof" is pump into the hallway. She's busy bobbing her head to the beat and coloring letters in on her poster.
"What's all this?" Emily sneaks up on the distracted Naomi.
Naomi jumps and smiles, "Hey Ems, you scared me."
Emily kneels down next to Naomi and places her palm on Naomi's back, "Sorry, your music is rather loud." Emily looks at the posters, "Is this a program? Self defense?"
"It is." Naomi smiles smugly, "But I don't think you need any assistance, being an ant and all."
"Haa right. Well, when is it? I'd like to go anyways." Emily smiles and her voice fades as she stands up and heads back to the door, shutting and locking it. Naomi looks up to see she's walked away and stands up herself. Emily returns to see Naomi standing, she smiles and wraps her arms around Naomi. "I have SO much work to do, it's ridiculous." Emily tightens her arms around Naomi, leans her head back to face Naomi, smiles and kisses Naomi sweetly. "How about you? Do you have a lot?"
Naomi lets out a huff, "Yeah, actually I have quite a bit to do. A lot of reading, one essay to write, and I have to go over program stuff with Effy."
"Yikes, well what time do you have to get together with Effy?" Emily internally cringes at that sentence, fully aware of the bad vibes she receives from her. She smiles instead, knowing to leave it. "Well, did you want to get dinner and maybe meet up later so we can both get our work done?
"I Believe In A Thing Called Love" by The Darkness starts to crunch and Naomi smiles, "Yeah, that sounds good, let's go." She grins and pulls Emily back in for a proper kiss. Emily lets out a gentle moan as she cups Naomi's cheek, running her tongue on Naomi's bottom lip. Naomi unites her tongue with Emily's and lifts her up, Emily wraps her legs around Naomi's torso. Naomi grabs Emily's ass and makes her squeal into their kiss. Naomi turns towards the bed and climbs on, dropping Emily down into the softness. Emily tightens her legs around Naomi's waist, pressing her body into Naomi's. Naomi holds her weight on one arm and grinds her hips against Emily's as Emily digs her fingers into Naomi's hair.
Naomi's heart is racing and her head is flowing with all types of things she wants to do. Emily's chest is heaving and her face is flushed as she pulls at Naomi's neck. Naomi runs her free palm up Emily's thighs and up to her hips while she kisses Emily's neck. Naomi sneaks her hand under Emily's shirt and finds Emily's hot, soft skin under her fingertips. Emily gasps as Naomi glides her hand up her side stopping at the line of her cotton bra. Naomi stops and brings her hand out of Emily's shirt and places it on Emily's cheek. She slows her kisses and calms her hips, eventually pulling back and smiling sweetly at Emily. "We both have a lot of work to do tonight, let's go get some dinner yeah?"
Emily bites her lip and nods as she watches Naomi sit up and step off the bed. "I just have to tend to my laundry real fast and we can go. I'll meet you in five minutes in the lobby." Naomi holds out her hand to help Emily up and she pulls her towards her, kissing Emily's lips gently.
Emily heads to transfer her laundry while Naomi turns off her music and picks up her posters she was working on. Emily steps into the laundry room and sees Panda loading a washer. Panda looks up and grins happily, "Hey Ems!" She bounds over to her, looking at her curiously, "How are you?"
"Hey Panda, I'm good thanks. How are you?" Emily smiles, aware that her face is still flushed from the prior events. She tosses her laundry into a dryer and throws the coins into the machine.
"Busy busy busy," Panda smiles. "I miss you, haven't seen you in a while."
"Yeah, coursework is piling up on me, laundry too…obviously." Emily smiles, "Well, I gotta run, meeting Naomi for dinner now. Did you want to join us?"
Panda gives a cheeky grin, "Thanks but no, I'll let you two dine alone. I'm sure I'll catch a meal with you two in the near future."
"Okay, well I'm glad I got to see you Panda, I'll see you later yeah?" Emily waves as she exits the laundry room to meet Naomi.
After dinner Emily heads off to the library and Naomi heads to her room to finish up her posters. An hour or so later, Naomi collects her program materials and heads to Effy's room. She takes the far stairwell to the second floor so that she can swing by Panda's room.
Panda's door is open and she pops her head in, "Knock knock!" Naomi grins as Panda looks up from her computer.
"Hey Naoms!" She pushes back in her chair and hops over to Naomi. "What do you have here?"
"Effy and I have our program next week, these are just some posters." Naomi sifts through them to show her.
"Whizzer!" Panda looks at them with excitement.
"Well, I gotta get to Effy's. I still have to write an essay and read loads more tonight." Naomi nods and steps away from Panda's door. Panda waves and heads back to her own work.
Naomi makes her way down to Effy's room and stops at her door, and raps her knuckles against it. Effy opens the door with a smirk. "Well hello there…" She stands there with the door open. "Well, are you going to come in or what? Fuck's sake."
Naomi grins and nods, walking past Effy she says, "Finished the posters, thought you'd want to hang them up tonight." Effy shuts the door behind her and cocks her head to the side, smiling.
Effy saunters in and reaches for one of the posters, leaning extra close. "Wow Naoms, these are nice." Naomi smiles as Effy checks out the posters. She looks around at Effy's room, seeing it was pretty much the same set up as it was the previous year. Effy has posters of bands like The Smiths and The Cure hanging on the walls. She also has very dim lighting, never using her main overhead light, she has lamps with red fabric over them.
"Isn't that a fire hazard Ef?" Naomi points to the lamp.
"Yes," Effy smirks.
Naomi rolls her eyes and looks for a safe place to sit. She turns and sees the bed. She looks to her other side and see the desk with a heap of clothes draped over the chair. Then she looks down to the floor. She decides to go with the floor and takes a seat. She sets her stuff next to her, and crosses her legs. Naomi leans back on her arms and looks up at Effy who is still standing, looking at the posters.
Effy looks at Naomi and hands her the posters back, "Yeah we should hang these tonight for sure." She turns to her desk and pulls put one of her fliers. "We can take these to the office too." Naomi takes the flier and takes a look. They were cool, on black paper with white lettering.
"Sweet, well looks like we're all set. Just have to figure out what we'd like Diana to show the girls." Naomi smiles happily at Effy, who is digging out her RAD handbook.
"Well, I went through this and wrote down the less complicated moves. Here I can show you, stand up." Effy set the book down and holds out her hands to help Naomi up.
Naomi, caught off guard, takes her hands. She stands there waiting for direction from Effy. "Okay well, these moves are for a head on attack, so come at me and I'll show you the move."
"Oh, okay…" Naomi smiles nervously as she half-assed lunges at Effy.
Effy rolls her eyes at her, "That was enthusiastic…" She takes Naomi's hand, twisting her wrist and forcing it up into an inverted position. "Now normally, this would hurt a lot but I'm not going to push fully." Naomi, was already in pain and smiles nervously at the thought of the full on defense move.
Effy has her do other moves that involve Naomi being rather close to her. Each time, brushing her lips against Naomi's neck, whispering in her ear, or breathing on her skin. Naomi smiles through, trying to ignore her closeness.
The last move has Effy's arms are wrapped around Naomi's shoulders and Naomi is supposed to shoot her arms straight up to break off Effy's arms. Effy has a tight hold on Naomi and her lips are on Naomi's ear as she whispers, "I've got you now…"
"WELL! I think these will be sufficient!" Naomi calls out in mid move Effy. "I have loads to do, and really should get going." Naomi smiles with a flushed face. Her heart is racing and she feels that knot already in her stomach start to churn.
Effy smirks, aware of the rise she still gets out of Naomi. "Okay, well did you want me to hang the posters? I can do it while on rounds tonight."
"Yeah, that'd be great Ef. Thanks." Naomi smiles as she checks her watch. "I think our program is going to be quite the success."
"I hope we get a good turn out at least," Effy smiles as she collects the flies and posters on her desk.
Naomi nods and smiles as she starts to head for the door. "Naoms?" Effy stops Naomi in her tracks.
Naomi turns to Effy, "Yeah Ef?" Effy narrows her eyes into Naomi's and takes a step closer.
"Thanks for this…it was nice being with you. It made my night really…we should do it again some time." Effy smiles as the blush spreads across Naomi's face. Naomi just smiles and heads for the door, making her escape as fast as she can.
