Really sorry for the mini hiatus, I usually have chapters/outlines blah blah blah written before hand and I didn't have anything after the last chapter, plus Skins is back and well, things got a little crazy for Naomily didn't they? lol Anyways (If anyone's still reading this lol) I thought I'd update with a short chapter for now, the next will probably be the last though.
Chapter 8
"Emily?!" Her voice was one of concern. She took that as a good sign, though what followed was not, "Emily what the hell do you think you're doing?! I've been going out of my mind ever since-"
"Mum please." She pinched the bridge of her nose, regretting this whole thing already.
"Don't think just because you told your father-"
"Mum if you don't let me speak I'm gonna hang up right now...." She heard her Mum sigh on the other end of the phone. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you but...I just wanted to come away with Naomi. I really don't see what your problem is..."
"My problem Emily, is your acting like you've got everything figured out, you think you know exactly what you want, you're still a child, you can't make these sorts of decisions..."
"You really don't get it Mum, you don't listen."
"I do listen, I just-"
Emily finished off her mothers sentence for her, "Don't like what you hear...."
"All teenagers go through these little phases..."
"Right, of course, this is all just some little phase..." Emily said sarcastically. She felt a lump forming in her throat, she wasn't upset, she was fucking angry. "You know it's not. Stop kidding yourself." Her Mum was silent on the other end, she thought about hanging up.
"Emily, I...you don't understand....It's hard for me..."
"Mum I can't change this. It's who I am. You're meant to love me no matter what."
"Oh Emily I do."
"Then just...." She sighed, exasperated, "Just tell me it's okay."
"I...I'll see you when you get home."
"Mum please."
"Bye honey, I love you."
Emily slid down the wall and sat on the floor. She felt so let down. So angry. Disappointed.
"Fuck her." She said under her breath.
"Hey, what's going on?" Emily looked up and smiled sadly, even just Naomi's presence brightened her mood.
"My Mum's a giant fucking whore." Emily said spitefully, folding her arms and sticking her bottom lip out slightly. Naomi bit her cheek, she couldn't help but find Emily's childlike tone hilarious. A smirk started to from on Emily's face, they both burst out laughing,
"She really is though." Emily exclaimed, half laughing at herself, half still sulking. Naomi sat down next to her and put her arm around Emily.
"I know Ems. I know." Emily rested her head on Naomi's shoulder.
"Why can't she just be like your Mum?" She huffed.
"Trust me, my Mum's been shit at time's too."
"Mmm."
"Look, if you wanna go back home, sort things out, I understand-"
"No." Emily said quickly, "No I....I wanna spend the summer with my girlfriend, she's not ruining that for me." Naomi smiled,
"You know, I love hearing you call me your girlfriend."
Emily grinned and lifted her head up, their faces inches apart. She stared down and Naomi's lips, up to her eyes, then down to her lips again, they'd parted slightly,
"Really..." Emily whispered.
"Mmmhmm." The blonde replied before Emily's lips met hers with a soft kiss.
"Well I love getting to call you it." She said almost smugly. They both smiled widely before getting up and heading back into the cafe.
"Change of plan." Effy stated as they took their seats, "We're leaving tomorrow instead, can't leave without a proper night out all together can we?"
"Sounds like a good plan." Emily grinned.
