Oh hello there! back in the summer when I finished this story I promised that I would write a sequel to this story...
but I just havnt got the time to write a completely new story from the start anymore :( but I didn't want to leave you with nothing, so I wrote this small Epilogue!
It's written differently to the Maybe it was always you chapters but I'm hoping you find it satisfying enough to completely end with.
Thanks for reading/reviewing my stories all year round people, a large part of 2010 was this site and I'd just like to thank you!
'You love me' The blonde smirked, trying to rap her arms around her redheaded girlfriend, the tiny girl refuses and bats the blondes slender arms away, no she couldn't do this again, she was mad at Naomi. It didn't matter that Naomi had cutely apologised and even promised to take her out every night this week, she definitely wasn't forgiven yet.
'No I don't' she protested weakly because of course she fucking loved her, even this slightly embarrassing situation didn't put a dent on how much love she had for Naomi, it just made her want to hit her really hard.
'Yes you do' the blonde mimicked in a sing song voice, Emily could tell from the smile on her face she was trying to hold back a laugh which made her face even more red. She finally storms out of their bedroom groaning when Naomi bursts into laughter; she walks through their tiny hall way covered with unpacked boxes and locks herself in the half decorated bathroom, tiny tap coming from the door seconds later.
'Oh come on babe, it was a joke' she heard her girlfriend sigh from outside the bathroom door, she was well aware it was a joke, she knew Naomi wouldn't intentionally hurt her like she had done a couple of hours ago, she just felt small, like everybody was laughing about the situation apart from her. She swallowed back the thoughts, aiming all her anger at her stupid girlfriend.
'It's not fucking funny though, I was fucking 12!' she shouts back, from looking around she doesn't really want to stay in here for the rest of the night, but she also wants to prove to her girlfriend that she can stay in a mood just as long as any other girl out there.
'Exactly Em, we all did stuff like that when we were kids, I just thought it was cute' she was almost about to give in when she heard Naomi sniffle another laugh from coming out of her lips, her hand left the handle and she sank back on the counter top next to the sink.
A tiny smirk plastered a long her own face then after remembering a conversation she had with Gina a couple of weeks ago whilst her and Naomi were visiting, obviously not while Naomi was in the room at the time.
'Sorry we all haven't got adorable stories that involve packing a picnic to run away with Dr Who' That's when she knew she was back in the game, the sound of Naomi's apologetic voice going silent and the smile on Emily's face growing bigger.
'What? I never... who told you that? It was my mum wasn't it? that fucking bitch!' she hears Naomi curse, listens to her girlfriend go into a giant rant about never letting her mum drink alcohol again, that followed by another 5 minute rant about how the couple aren't going to visit her anymore so she can –in Naomi's words- go fucking shrivel in a corner.
'It wasn't a picnic, I don't fucking picnic and I didn't even watch Dr who so I don't know what the fuck she's-'
'Not so funny is it!' the redhead shouts, following it with a small chuckle.
It all started around 7 hours ago when they both reluctantly went over to the fitches for their Sunday roast. They didn't want to go; of course they didn't want to be there when they could be spending a day curled up in bed in their new flat. The redhead had been in university for just over a year when she decided enough was enough and she couldn't bare living in the Fitch house hold anymore. Not because of anything that had offended her, but because of the amount of space she wouldn't get and her dad still treating her like she was a 16 year old.
When the ideas of getting her own place popped into her head she quickly dismissed it, this was until her and Naomi were sat in Naomi's flat watching films and Kelly and Kevin wherein Kelly's room doing something that clearly wasn't for their ears.
'God I wish I didn't have to listen to that everyday' Naomi commented, she understood that now Kelly was married her husband was obviously going to move in with them, even if she thought they would get their own place and leave her in fucking peace.
'Why don't you move out?' the redhead suggested, snuggling her face tighter in to Naomi's neck when the boring parts of the film came on, she heard the blonde scoff, she looks up to see Naomi's eyes still watching the action on the screen.
'Yeah and I'll pay for it with my nonexistent money from my nonexistent job' Naomi had been going from job to job since she left university a year ago, nothing really suited what she wanted to be in life, so from now she was unemployed until something more suited to her came up, even if she did really hate not having a job.
'Your mum could lend you it' the redhead knew how generous Naomi's mum could be, especially from the amount of money and time she spends with all the different charities she had under her belt.
'She probably would, but I don't think she has that type of money' she shrugged, she knew how persistent her girlfriend was, how persistent she was that this was her home and no matter how many times she had to hear Kelly orgasm she wasn't moving out. But Emily wanted to move out, she was sick of Katie shouting at her when her alarm would blast early for her lectures. Just because Katie didn't end up going to university didn't mean that Emily had to act all unbothered about her education.
'My dad would probably go halves' she finds herself suggesting out of nowhere when all she can think about is her family getting in her way when she's trying to find her coursework. She hears Naomi scoff again, her girlfriend blue eyes looking straight into hers.
'And why would your dad offer to pay for my place?' she laughs, continues to do so until she gets what Emily's trying to say and her skin goes cold. Not that she's never thought about this but she never thought about it really actually happening, but then again she never thought about herself being in a proper adult relationship.
'Oh' she simply says.
She turns around, sitting on Naomi's lap to try and get her startled girlfriend to concentrate on her 'I know what you're thinking, I'm 19 and not possibly ready for that step yet but Naomi I am' she says, taking a deep breath whilst she goes listing the reasons to why this is a good idea.
'It doesn't have to be expensive, just a cheap affordable little place where I can finally get space and just be with my girlfriend' tightens her hand in Naomi's when she realises the blondes still looking up at her wide eyed 'and how great would it be having sex whenever we want, and for me to come without trying to lower my voice' her voice so husky against the blondes neck that she thinks she might of actually came herself with Emily sitting on her lap like that.
'Besides Naoms, you're 22 now, time to settle down, no?' the blonde laughs then, leaning forward to gently kiss the redhead on her lips before pulling back unsure.
'I'm stupidly untidy'
'I think your scruffiness is cute'
'I hate Glee' the blonde says this with a smirk on her face, she knows how much Emily adores the program, especially since the money for the DVD box sets came out of her fucking pocket, See's Emily scrunch her lips to the side adorably.
'Don't like it that much anyway'
'Jenna isn't aloud any visits that haven't be planned and scheduled for up to a month at least'
'A month come on Naomi that's a little harsh isn't it' her breath hitches 'you mean...'
'Yes Emily, if my mum and your dad are willing to borrow us money for a little while then I suppose we can do it' her neck is strangled by Emily and cheek placed with millions of tiny kisses, her promising that it'll be the best time ever, turns out Gina and Rob where more than willing to give their daughters a start.
Back to why Emily was doing anything to ignore her girlfriend by locking herself in their bathroom. When they arrived at the fitches everything was how it would normally be, Katie on the phone to her weekly boyfriend, James nowhere to be seen but probably in his room watching porn, and her parents smiling at the couple as they welcomed them into their home, even if Naomi knew she could still see a hint of hatred behind Jenna's eyes. Kelly had been there too, her becoming like a daughter to Jenna since the wedding.
Everything had been fine until half way through dinner Kelly kept catching her eye and would laugh quietly, noticing Naomi would nudge the girl in the arm to keep her quiet, and she knew something was going on from the start. And then obviously her mum being her mum the table soon turned onto wedding talk, more specifically Kelly's wedding.
'I just can't wait to plan one of my own daughters weddings' she couldn't help roll her eyes when Jenna looked over to her and Katie almost proudly. 'A lovely giant white wedding with all the trimmings'
'I don't know Jenna' Kelly announced whilst tucking into her vegetable 'I think Emily would suite a more lime green dress' she bursts out laughing, making Naomi laugh along with her as the rest of the table stares at both of them confused, but she knows what's going on, narrows her eyes at her girlfriend.
'Cheers Naomi, what happened to not fucking showing anybody?' she shouts, startling most of the table along with her. Whilst they were both unpacking in the flat a couple of weeks ago Emily couldn't help but notice the notorious teenage wedding book Jenna must of put in one of the boxes, Naomi of course wouldn't let it go and ending up reading the entire book of how younger Emily had planned her wedding, laughing most about the detail of the wedding dress, the redheads favourite colour at the time being lime green.
'Babe, I couldn't throw it away' the blonde replied guiltily over the table, she shakes her head slowly at her, Naomi knowing she had done something wrong leaving her expression to drop at the look on her girlfriends face You're definitely not getting laid tonight, tomorrow and possibly the entire week. I'm probably going to leave you high and dry for a year.
'You should never throw that away, its pure comedy gold' blue and brown eyes both snapped to Kelly's with a fierce snarl plastered on both of their faces. She ignored Naomi for the entire night, ignored Naomi to politely help her mum with the dishes, ignored Naomi when they ate dessert facing each other, ignored Naomi in the taxi home, and ignored Naomi until she wrapped her arms around her in the flat, resulting in her being in this bathroom.
'I'm sorry Emily' came the sincere apology from the hall way 'I promised I wouldn't bring the book out and I did, I fucked up'
'Yeah you fucked up' she replies automatically, hears Naomi sigh again.
'Please come out' she hears her say 'because you can have your lime green dress and we'll even book that little church you described so beautifully in the book, but not if you don't come out'
She unlocks the door then to come face to face with her surprised and slightly tired looking girlfriend, the white painted door frame is the only thing separating them yet they just continue to stare at each other.
'You've thought about marriage?' Emily asks quietly.
Naomi shrugs 'The idea doesn't completely repulse me anymore' and just like that Emily is in her arms, both hugging the life out of each other as if they hadn't been together in years, she kisses her clothed shoulder 'I'm really sorry' she repeats.
'It's alright, I love you' Emily whispers as they stay in the intimate embrace, pulling apart with Naomi showing the cocky smile on her face.
'How about we go and make up the last couple of hours in the bedroom, our bedroom, where you're allowed to come as loud as you want' she wiggles her eyebrows
'I have a lecture really early in the morning' Emily whispers into her neck sadly, the blonde pulls back eyeing her girlfriend with suspicious.
'See! I knew this whole moving in together would ruin our sex life, picking university over your girlfriend, terrible Miss Fitch' she jokes, linking her hand with Emily's as they stay in a close embrace.
'Well Naoms, we can't all sit at home eating ourselves stupid on the couch all day'
'I do not!' she protested because she did other things, she cleaned the bathroom, removing Emily's red hair from the sink plug hole, she arranged the calendar on the fridge, she even went shopping, buying the redheads favourite apple juice.
'Don't worry though Naomi, I think your little beer belly's cute' she snaps her eyes down to her stomach, she hasn't put weight on, made sure that she regularly kept fit using her gym membership, moves her eyes back up in time to watch Emily slip into their bedroom with her come to bed eyes.
Yeah, she was definitely getting laid tonight after all.
