Chapter 35
Emily's Pov
Thinking back to when I went for my first session at the hospital seems so long ago now. I'm now on crutches and have a hell of a lot more feeling back in all places! Though myself and Naomi still haven't ..well you know. God I'm getting embarrassed about talking about sex in my own head that's not normal is it? Anyway she's been out a lot these past few days she's been acting a bit funny in general.
"Em's I'm going out!" I heard Naomi yell from the hall "Ill be back soon okay"
I picked up my crutches and got out into the hall as fast as I could almost tripping over my own foot
"Wait where are you going?" you could hear the angry building up as I spoke
"Out I have to do some stuff"
"What stuff?"
"Just stuff" she was avoiding my question
"Naomi!" I was angry now
"What?"
"Your hiding shit from me, what's going on"
"Nothing" her eyes didn't meet mine
"Your lying"
"Well nothing I can tell you about" "Oh right fine whatever off you go then" I turned around to leave but Naomi stopped me
"Emily!" I turned and looked at her "Look its nothing I can tell you about yet but I promise you will find out soon enough ok?"
"That's what I'm afraid off"
Her hand fell from my arm. I turned and walked back into the living room, there was silence in the hall for a few moment before I heard the sound of the front door slamming.
Naomi's Pov
I sat waiting in the coffee shop for her to arrive, she's always fucking late. Well the last few times we met up she was. My mind shot back to Emily this morning in the hallway, guilt came flooding through my body. I hated hiding things from her. That look she gave me in the hallway reminded me too much of bad times. I could see it in her eyes she thought I was doing it again. She though I was cheating
"You didn't even order me Coffee, thanks a lot Campbell" I looked to see she was finally here concern filled her face when I didn't answer back "Shit what's wrong" she said as she took a seat in front of me
"Nothing I just" I took a deep breath
"Spit it out Campbell"
"I think Emily thinks I'm cheating" she stayed silent before breaking into laugher
"Oh god she has got it so wrong"
"Yeah but still I don't want her thinking that"
"Look your going to do this tonight yeah?" I nodded "So ill go over ill take Emily out for a bit let you set everything up in the house and It will be all sorted by tonight"
"Yeah I guess. Thanks for helping me Katie" she smiled over at me
"Yeah well I didn't want you to mess it all up did I. so come on then let me see it"
I reached into my pocket and pulled out the small black box opening it up and showing it to Katie. Her eyes grew wide
"Holy fuck Campbell how the hell did you afford something like that"
"I had some money saved and you know mum lent me some"
"Jesus I didn't think your mum was loaded!" she yelled a bit too loud
"She's not loaded! She just had some money put by"
She stopped and looked at me eyeing me up like I was lying to her. I was but I wasn't going to say anything
"Oh no you didn't" she yelled out
"Didn't what?"
"Did you use your Uni money?" my eyes shot to the floor. Busted "Oh my god Emily is going to kill you"
"It's fine really"
"No she's going to kill you"
"I didn't spend it all just some of it"
"Like I said she will kill you…. Its lovely though really"
"Thanks"
Katie took the last mouthful from her coffee and looked at her watch
"I better go over there now. How long do you need?"
"2 hours 3 tops"
"Right, see you later Naomi and good luck, though I doubt you need it"
With that she left. Ok now I need to give Katie some time to get Em's out of the house and then I can head back and set everything up. Oh god I'm fucking bricking it now.
Emily's Pov
I was sitting on the couch in a right mood, how could she keep things from me after everything we've been through. Fucking bitch. Right that's it when she gets home we are going to sit down and talk about whatever the hell is going on. I was brought out of my train of angry pissed off thoughts by the door bell. I was far to lazy to get up and open it
"It's open" the rang the bell again "fuck sake I SAID ITS OPEN"
I heard the front door open and close I turned around to see Katie walk into the room, she didn't look impressed that I was still in my Pyjamas well by that I mean a t shirt and underwear
"Fuck sake Emily your suppose to be ready!" she yelled over at me
"For what?"
"Eh going out today remember?"
"Yeah well I'm not really in the mood. Cant we just stay here?"
"NO! I mean no we have to go out. Come on you need to get some air anyway"
I used the couch to pull myself up pulling up my crutches at the same time and getting myself to a standing position. I walked out the sitting room door by Katie and started making my way slowly up the stairs one step at a time. Yelling over my shoulder to Katie
"Fine give me 10 minutes"
"Right hurry up!" fucking hell she can still be so bossy sometimes its not like were in a rush to go out
20 minutes later and were in a taxi heading into town. Neither of us has really said anything Katie was to busy texting someone on her phone. Probably Effy there always doing it though to be fair she hasn't seen her in two weeks. Effy went up to London to see her dad she's back tomorrow though which is good.
"So what's up with you then?"
"Nothing"
"Come on Em's I'm not stupid"
"It's just Naomi"
"What did she do now?" Katie asked not taken her eyes from her phone for a second
"Nothing. Well I don't know she's acting funny"
"She's always acts funny"
"I think she's cheating on me"
"What?" she looked up from her phone "Why would you think that?"
"Well she's keeping something from me and when I asked her about it she said she cant tell me but Ill find out soon enough!" Katie stayed silent and just raised an eye brow at me "What?… WHAT?"
"So you think she's cheating because she told you she cant tell you what it is" "Yes"
"And then she said you will find out soon enough and you still think she is cheating?"
What? what's that suppose to me? I'm missing something here
"Katie what are you on about?"
"I just think you should give her the benefit of the doubt I mean maybe its not what you think" it was my turn to stare at her "What?"
"Nothing its just.. Your sticking up for her. Its sweet" I smiled over at her
"Oh fuck off" she scoffed
The taxi pulled over and Katie helped me out and paid the fair
"Come on lets look in the store first I need new shoes"
"You have like a million pairs already!"
"alright you need new shoes"
I rolled my eyes. This was going to be a long day
Naomi's Pov
Everything was ready. I had candles lighting all through the hall way right into the kitchen were I had the table covered in a red cloth set out with two dinner plates and more candles. I was wearing a black dress that was just above knee length with a slit at the side. I had a bottle of champagne on the kitchen table with a note beside it. Now I just need to go and wait for Emily to arrive home. Just then I received a text from Katie telling me they were just there and she was going to send Emily in. it also had a "good luck bitch" written at the end of it. I went and stood in the living room as I seen the taxi pull up outside. Hearing the front door open a few moments later. I took a deep breath and said to myself
"This is it"
Emily's Pov
Katie dropped me off at the house and helped me out of the taxi. It was a better day then I thought. Now I just had to go in and clear up things with Naomi.
"You okay getting to the door by yourself"
"I'm fine Katie and thanks for today"
"no problem" to my surprise she pulled me into a hug "Ill see you tomorrow yeah"
"Yeah sure"
She sat back into the taxi and closed the door I watched as the taxi pulled away. Right now to fix this I walked up to the front door pulling out my key and opening it up. I stepped in side lost in my own thought shutting the door behind me. Until I looked up. There was candles everywhere. What the hell was going on.
"Naomi!" I called out but got no response
I followed the line of candles that led me into the kitchen when I seen the table I let out a gasp. It was beautiful everything was .. Breathtaking. I spotted a note sitting on the table with my name on it walking over picking it up I opened it.
"Emily
I know you think I have been hiding things from you for the last few weeks now. But I couldn't tell you this without ruining the surprise now could I ? the last few weeks have been hell on me. Nothing to do with us just keeping all this from you has been hell. I hated it I felt like I was lying to you and the last thing I wanted was for you to be mad at me again.
I told you once that I love you and to never forget it. I meant it. But I think we have come to the point now were its not up to you to never forgetting it. Its for me to show it to you everyday and that's what I intended to do. I love you so much Emily Fitch, more then words can say it goes deeper then that, beyond words. I'm pretty sure you know what I mean.
So if you let me I want to spend the rest of my life trying to make you feel half as happy as you have made me.
Naomi x
Ps turn around"
I placed the note back on the table and slowly turned around. And there she was standing in front of me. She looked amazing. I take it back the kitchen was nothing compared to the way she looked she was breathtaking
"Naoms what's all this"
"You read the letter yeah" I nodded I could feel tears building up behind my eyes "then you know"
" I don't I-" I was cut off
She was bending down. On one knee. My eyes widened, Oh my god. I got it so wrong. The tears were falling now.
"Em's" She took my hand in her own " I love you so much I cant imagine my life without you" she now revealed a small box opening it up in front of me
"Oh my god"
"Emily.. Will you marry me"
"oh" I stopped for a moment to try and catch my breath " oh god yes"
She took my hand and slide the ring onto my finger and stood up in front of me. As soon as she did I crashed my lips into hers, I think its safe to say that this day has definitely been the best. And its not over yet.
More in the next chapter, please let me know what you think cheers. Love you all!
