A/N: Seriously, I am so happy that we are now on the downhill side of winter. It is 80 degrees in Los Angeles right now and all I can think about are swimming pools and music festivals. The amazing and beautiful 6seatertable got me a Coachella ticket for Christmas and we booked our hotel last week! Can you feel the excitement in the air?

Alright, here's a little bit of Naomily cuteness to hold you over for a bit. Enjoy! Happy New Year!


Chapter 29

Emily awoke with a strange feeling in her chest that she didn't recognize at first. It was slightly painful but mostly exhilarating and she decided that she wouldn't open her eyes just yet, but she would let a smile escape from her lips. Part of her wanted to hold on to the feeling for as long as she could while the other just wanted it to pass, because she was going to have to ignore it anyway.

So as she laid there with her eyes closed and her hands gripping the sheets that covered her naked skin, her mind began replaying the events from the night before. Her fingers tangled in soft blonde hair, her thighs pressed against firm thighs, her tongue sliding over a hard nipple, her lips kissing perfect lips over and over again. Emily preferred these thoughts; they were easy and distracting and the ache in her chest was quickly forgotten.

She decided that it was safe to open her eyes now and turn over to look at the girl who was asleep beside her, sharing her bed. Naomi. And as she rolled onto her side and as her brown eyes blinked and adjusted to the light, she reached out to find cold sheets where Naomi's warm body should have been.

Emily pulled her hand back like it had been burned and curled into a ball, wrapping her duvet around her tightly. She shouldn't be surprised really; it had to be past noon by now and she had caught the crafty blonde tiptoeing across her living room floor once before in an attempt not to wake her.

The redhead didn't have a chance to dwell on the disappointment she was feeling for too long as the sound of ceramic breaking and a stream of expletives sounded through her closed bedroom door. Naomi.

The smile that spread across Emily's face could have powered the city. Naomi hadn't left; she was still there, destroying her kitchen, and Emily couldn't have been happier.

As the swearing and muttering from the other room continued, Emily's phone beeped from its place on the nightstand. A text from Katie:

I've changed my mind.
I am going out tonight.
All men are useless
dicksucks and I don't
feel like staying in.
Might as well give the
lezzas some fit eye
candy to enjoy. Call me
as soon as Campbell
manages to climb off
your face. x -K.

Emily placed her phone back on the nightstand as she let that image play on repeat in her head. She was interrupted from her filthy thoughts as the door to her bedroom slowly opened and the subject of her fantasy appeared balancing two cups of tea and a plate of toast.

"You're awake." Naomi seemed almost disappointed; she had planned to wake Emily up with soft kisses, but when she saw Emily's eyes roaming up and down her body with that now familiar look of lust, the blonde's plans were soon forgotten.

"You realize this is what dreams are made of, right?" Emily propped herself up on her elbows, grinning, and continued to appreciate the sight before her.

Naomi stood at the foot of the bed. She looked at the tea and toast she was carrying, but couldn't for the life of her figure out what was so special about that.

Emily shook her head and chuckled. "You Naomi. Look at you." The redhead's devilish grin disappeared and was replaced with a look of pure adoration. "You're...amazing."

Naomi could feel a blush cover her cheeks; she dropped her head slightly to hide the color. It was then that Naomi remembered that she was wearing only her blue button-up shirt, which was primarily unbuttoned and showing off everything, and nothing else but her knickers. Her long legs were on full display. It occurred to Naomi that perhaps she might look kind of sexy in that morning after sort of way, but she brushed that notion away as she moved to the side of the bed that was meant for her.


It was hours later that a second round of tea and toast was made; the first had gone cold from where it had been set down and immediately forgotten as Emily pulled Naomi back into bed.

"What did you do to it?" Emily's eyes were wide.

"I can't say." Naomi took a sip from her mug.

"But, this is just..." Emily was at a loss for words.

Naomi just nodded but stayed silent.

"Naomi. This is the best toast I've ever had in my life. Tell me how you make it!" The redhead was getting frustrated with the blonde's refusal to divulge her toast-making secrets. Naomi just shook her head and took another sip of tea.

"Fine." Emily continued to munch on her toast.

Naomi's eyes flashed worry as she looked back over at Emily. She couldn't tell if she had meant fine as in "It's fine. I'll stop asking the questions you won't answer," or fine as in "Fine. I'm never going to kiss you again, because you won't answer the question." Naomi was one hundred percent sure she wanted it to be the first scenario.

Naomi bit her bottom lip. Better not chance it this early on. "I use the oven instead of the toaster and during the last thirty seconds, I add the butter so it melts into the bread. Oh, and there's a thing I do with the temperature and length of time before I flip it over. The flipping done before the butter, of course."

Emily smiled at the blonde. "I can't believe you gave it up that easily." She chuckled and leaned in, placing a soft kiss on Naomi's lips, but the blonde did not return it. Emily pulled back smirking and took another big bite of toast.

Naomi tried to act as if she was offended by Emily's comment, but she couldn't resist the redhead's cheeky grin. So with a smile and a shrug, she said, "Well, I guess you'll never know what happens once it's out of the oven, which is too bad, because, really, that's the best and most important part. Shame."

Emily narrowed her eyes at the gorgeous blonde sitting cross-legged in bed next to her, eating toast and sipping on tea, as the afternoon sun started to set, and she was suddenly filled with that painful but exhilarating feeling again. She had been up all night having incredible sex, had slept through most of the day for the first time in months, and had awoken to the sight of a half-naked girl bringing her breakfast in bed. This had to be the best twenty four hours of her life so far.

And as Emily tried to stifle the warm and fuzzy feelings that were bubbling up inside her and threatening to overflow, she knew that it was only going to get better from here.


This was a short one, but I had to post something so the threats on my life would stop and I don't quite have the next part worked out yet. Naomi seems to get most of the narrative in this story, so I wanted to get a peek into that adorable redhead's head for this bit. Do any of the other writers out there find Emily pov hard to write? I know I do! Even in the series it was really Naomi running the show most of the time.

I do hope you enjoyed the chapter and make sure to visit the Ink youtube page and do a read-a-long to Chapters 21 and 22. I'm off to a dance party. Until next time...

Shimmering Dreams Vol. 21
by HMHDHB

116. I Wanna Sleep In Your Arms- Modern Lovers
Naomi killing time before getting to Emily's. Back before I was the fanfic song picking superstar I am today, I used to make little playlists for the characters on the show. This was always always always a Naomi song. It pretty much speaks for itself. (Blondie: I remember speaking with you about how this is such a Naomi song...and that was many, many months ago. Emily does seem to have a calming effect on Naoms...turns her into a great big softie, she does.)

117. Hanging on the Telephone- Blondie
Naomi and Emily in Emily's apartment. This one was picked for me. Nice one. (Blondie: Yah...I thought it would be cute if Ems was playing the record that Naomi gave her. It's like making sure to wear the sweater your grandma gave you for Christmas the next time you see her, but in a sexy Naomily way.)

118. Sweetness- Taken By Trees
Emily and Naomi at dinner. This song I'm not too sure about. I wonder if it has too much of a tropical feel to it, but eh, it's cute and I'm sticking with it. (Blondie: You have nothing to worry about with this one. It is cute and upbeat and I feel like if I was having dinner and this song was playing, I would be happy about it. And the lyrics are adorbs...it feels good when you hold me. It's like a callback to the Modern Lovers song.)

SD Vol. 22

119. 40 Day Dream- Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Naomi and Emily walking down the road. So, this is dedicated to my most favorite couple in the world, the real Naomi and Emily of this story, 6seater and Blondie (sorry for outing you guys). This is one of the cutest songs I've heard in a while. And these two ladies are the cutest couple in the world. I think this is good for them walking down the road and kissing. When I listen to this song it feels like it's the happiest day of the singer's life, because he's in love. That is really how this chapter feels. Today is the best day of the lives of these ladies because they're together, and tomorrow will be even better, and so on. So, now the cats out of the bag, Blondie is pretty much just writing her life. So, this one is for you ladies, keep being awesome and keep melting my cold cold heart. Oh, and I think this would be lovely for your wedding. I would sing it but I'll be too busy getting drunk and crying. (Blondie: I think this might be my favorite song of 2010 [even though it was released in 2009, I didn't hear it until 2010 for reasons I won't get into.] I know that finding a song to follow up my fave song of 2009 [Sexy Bitch] would be challenging, but here it is. And it truly is a fantastic love song. I can tots picture them walking down the sidewalk, holding hands, and being cute together while this songs plays. Good pick!)
