Chapter 25

Thank you to Lovescott for your kind review with the last chapter. There are still five more chapters to run and there will be plenty more trials and tribulations to come. This chapter sadly will provide heartbreak for 'Naomily,' but it is far from the end.

Enjoy reading!

Naomi and Emily carried on from where they left off, fucking each other at least seven more times before the day was out. She spent another night at Naomi's, the first time they had slept together since all the events of the previous summer. However, Emily's world was about to come crashing back to earth, with an unexpected return.

Alicia had been busy enjoying her holiday, and her ignorant attitude towards Emily had driven Emily back into Naomi's arms. However, once she checked her phone and realised how selfish she had been, with Emily having left eight missed calls, it was time to get back in touch. Unfortunately, her efforts were now going to be frustrated, as Emily's phone was on silent when she tried to contact.

The next morning, Emily stirred to find Naomi had disappeared. Where had she'd gone. She slipped out of bed without any clothing and wondered downstairs to see where Naomi had gone. Naomi was making some tea and toast for the pair. Emily wrapped her arms around Naomi and started attacking Naomi's neck full of soft kissing.

"Hey, clearly you aren't full of regrets." Naomi said, struggling to resist Emily's intentions.

"Come on babe, I'm not hungry for food, only hungry for you!" Emily said, pulling Naomi around and giving her another juicy kiss.

"Em, one more hour but then you must go." Naomi suggested.

"Why?" Emily said looking slightly horrified at Naomi's suggestion.

Naomi reassured her and pulled her in for another kiss.

"Emily, Katie will be getting concerned and knowing Jenna, she will have probably called the police for your whereabouts!" Naomi said.

"Yeah, my mum will start a fight with the phone book, knowing her." Emily smiled.

This made Naomi snigger, and it was the end of any dialogue as the lovers disappeared upstairs to continue their loved-up nest.

Two hours later and Emily sneaked back home, attempting to creep in without anyone noticing where she had been. This was never going to work around an irate Katie, who still was struggling to be forgiven by her parents for leaving Emily alone on 'that night.'

"Where the fuck you have been!" Katie shouted.

"Sorry sis, time flies by when you are having fun, and stop acting jealous." Emily snorted, brushing past Katie.

"I'm not jealous, bitch! By the way, you have a visitor in 'your' bed, loser!" Katie shouted.

"Fuck off Katie!" Emily responded as she opened the door to find a fully-clothed Alicia sitting on Emily's bed.

"What are you doing here?" Emily asked.

"Well Emily, I was expecting a more positive gesture than that. Are you pleased to see me?" Alicia said, looking glum at Emily's lack of expression on her face.

"You weren't there when I needed you the most; I'm surprised you didn't notice…." Emily replied, clearly not in the mood to forgive Alicia.

Alicia got off the bed and went over to Emily, touching her shoulder gently. She leaned in and kissed Emily tentatively.

"Don't do that Alicia!" Emily said regrettably.

"I don't want to be fucked around Emily. I came back to see you, to be with you. I want to go to Barcelona ASAP." Alicia suggested.

"Are you mad? I've got A Levels to concentrate on, I don't need you coming back and screwing things up for me. They are already stuffed as it is." Emily reacted angrily.

Alicia handed Emily an aeroplane ticket to John Lennon airport.

"I'm going at the weekend Emily, set our love nest up. Check the date?" Alicia said.

Emily checked the date, it said September 5th.

"Don't irritate me and being honest, your expression doesn't feel me with much confidence." Alicia said.

Emily sighed, bit her tongue and what was she going to say to Alicia.

"Alicia, I'm coming because I love you and you know that. It's best you go and start like you said, gives me the chance to get these exams out of the way." Emily suggested.

Alicia kissed Emily again, hugged her and disappeared.

This is the last we will see of Alicia in this story, though her name will still be mentioned throughout the rest of the remaining chapters.

Emily had frozen when the chop had come. She should have told Alicia about her and Naomi and now had committed herself to Alicia. She had little option but to break Naomi's heart, now that Alicia had gone out of the picture for a good while.

Immediately, she got out her phone and texted Naomi.

Nay, can we meet in the park later on, say about 5pm? Xxxx Ems

Around three minutes later, her phone made a loud vibrating sound.

Yeah, see you then lover. Xxxxxxxxxxx Naoms

At exactly 5pm, Emily perched herself on the park bench just outside Naomi's house. Naomi arrived ten minutes later, eating a delicious iced bun.

"Sorry I'm late, went to see a man about a dog." Naomi said, kissing Emily on the cheek.

Emily's face failed to change any expression, which got Naomi concerned.

"Babes, what's wrong?" Naomi said, her face frowning now.

"Alicia's back and….." Emily paused.

"You dumped her? Yes! It's the best news I've heard for a long time. Aww Emily, now the path is clear…." Naomi blabbered.

"Naoms, you are doing a Panda!" Emily smiled.

"Sorry!" Naomi said, clenching her hands into Emily's. Emily pulled the gesture away straightaway.

"Naomi yesterday was great, you were great and it was amazing to relieve old times." Emily said.

"However, I love Alicia and I'm going to Barcelona to join her after the exams." Emily continued.

She had just dropped a bombshell that tore Naomi's heart into a million pieces. Just when she thought that Emily was hers again, it was being taken away again.

"Ems, what can she give you that I can't?" Naomi said, struggling to wipe away the tears.

"She can give me security, safety and commitment. I need that, and you can't give that to me, no matter what." Emily suggested.

"But I love you Emily." Naomi said.

Emily nodded, leaned in and kissed Naomi passionately.

"I know you love me Naomi. However, it's not enough, I'm sorry!" Emily said as she got up and left Naomi on the bench, devastated and crestfallen.

Back at home, Emily knew what she had done was cruel. Deep down, it was Naomi who she wanted, but she couldn't have her. Alicia was the better bet for a happier future, but had she just blown it with Naomi for good.

NEXT CHAPTER: The identity of Emily's attacker is finally revealed….and they are about to be frozen out by the rest of the gang.
