-------------------------------------------------
Each step was forceful as the younger twin started on her way home. In all honesty she just wanted to go back and take care of Naomi, but after taking the long way home, it was getting dark. Her fists continued to tighten and loosen every few feet. If it was possible, steam would have been coming out of her ears and her red hair would have been set ablaze. Each breath was exhaled in an angry sigh. By the time she arrived in front of the Fitch house she could see the light in the shared bedroom was on. "Fucking great." Emily muttered to herself as she entered the house. She really didn't want to go upstairs to her room, knowing her sister would be there.
The red head stopped at the base of the stairs, looking up, hoping that she wouldn't have to talk to anyone. She got moving when her parents noticed her standing there, not wanting to talk to them. Emily's legs brought her right into the bathroom to take a shower. It was just one way to get to be by herself, and after turning on the water and stripping down, she leaned over to plug up the tub. Maybe that's what she needed, a nice relaxing bath.
Emily relaxed in the steaming water, and she found her hands moving along her form, wishing and pretending it was Naomi touching her instead of her own hands. The touches she was rewarding her own body with were only fueling the fire though. Now she was angry and hot at the same time. It would have been the time for some rough sex with her girlfriend, but at this time of the night, and with the status of her girlfriend, it just wasn't going to happen.
Frustrated, the younger twin finished her bath without getting herself off. Her body was dried and wrapped in a towel as she leaned down to pick up the discarded clothes and walk to the joint bedroom. As expected, Katie was sitting up on Emily's bed, waiting for her to come in. After her chocolate brown's rolled in annoyance she threw on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. "Fuck off my bed." Ripped from the younger twin's throat, but the elder sister just sat there with her arms crossed. The two stared at each other for what had to be a few minutes before Emily shrugged her shoulders, "Fine…" she grumbled as she turned around, ready to go sleep downstairs on the couch.
"Don't… Emily…" Katie's hurt voice came out as a loud whisper.
Emily stopped in her tracks. She didn't want to have this conversation. Didn't want her twin to try to explain what happened, or make up some excuse for it. What she did to Naomi, her love, was inexcusable, and unforgivable. "Don't what, Katie." She spit out, not bothering to turn around to face the mirror sitting on her bed.
"Don't be upset. I'm sorry."
Rage flowed through her veins and she turned on her heal to finally stare down her sister. "Upset doesn't even begin to explain how I'm feeling." She paused for all of three seconds before she continued, "And, I don't believe you're sorry… and I'm not the one you should be saying it to…"
That was enough to get Katie off her bed, and she took two steps to shove her sister back to her side of the room. There wasn't anything else that needed to be said, nothing that could make things better, and all Emily wanted to do was sleep off her anger, if that would even work.
-----------------------------------------------------
The week went by slowly for Naomi as she spent most of her time in her house, in her room, to be more specific. Emily would come by every morning to pick up the blond's homework to turn it in, and would return after classes were over to bring by her homework. The split on her lip was slowly going away, as were the deep red scratches on her face, neck, and upper body. Faint lines were all that remained of the proof that Katie had in fact attacked her. Each time her love would come over, she could see the pain in her eyes, could see that the wounds cut deep into her as if her sister had hit her directly.
She was stuck in her own thoughts when the red head walked into her room. In honesty, Naomi hadn't even realized that it was so late in the day. Emily scared her as she walked in, and her form jumped slightly at the sound of the door. "Hey Em…" she said softly, a smile tipping the edges of her lips. Her lover's smile hadn't been the same all week, it was almost forced, and Naomi couldn't stand that fact.
"Hey love." Was the short reply, but her mouth opened back up as if she was going to continue. The blond waited, her crystal blues locking with sparkling browns, and she gave her a bigger smile, hoping to conjure out whatever it was Emily was about to say. The red head was hesitant, not sure exactly how to word what she wanted to say, and after a few minutes had passed, she figured she should just put it out there. "My family get together is in two days…" she paused, her eyes looking everywhere but at the woman she loved, "… and I would be honored if you would come with me."
Naomi was shocked. Azure hues looked at Emily, and she couldn't help but notice her hands playing with the promise ring around her finger. She had noticed that there were many different times when the twin would play with it, so she wasn't quite sure how to take what was just said. "Em… you sure that's a good idea?" came the soft and simple reply.
"Yes."
After no elaboration came, the blond sat up in the bed and scooted to the edge to take both of Emily's hands in hers. "I would love go to with you, yeah? I just… I just don't know if it's a good time for it." She had said it hesitantly, and carefully. The last thing she wanted to do right now was hurt Emily's feelings.
"It's a good time. It's time my family accepted that you're the one I love. That you're the one I'll be with for the rest of my days. I want them to see how happy I am with you. They'll be jealous once they get over the fact that you're a girl." A short pause. "But I know it may not be easy, Nai… it might be like walking into a lion's den, so I understand if you'd prefer to decline."
All Naomi could do was smile. "I'll take the chance, Ems… I love you."
A smile came to the edges of Emily's lips and she contorted her body to lay half on the bed, and half on top of Naomi after pushing her backwards. "It's sorted then… I'll pick you up around 10, unless you'd prefer that I stay the night?"
The blond's smile matched the one being sent her way from her lover. "We should set the alarm if you're staying the night tomorrow night, because you know we can't get up in the morning." She let out a brief chuckle, and soon the red head had joined in. It was sorted then.
They decided to make it a short night, cuddling and kissing, teasing each other until they couldn't take anymore, and after they both came down from ecstasy, Emily removed her tangled limbs to head home. One more day of school, and then it would be time for the Fitch reunion… and both were too nervous to have declined.

Looks like the Fitch reunion will be my next chapter. Anyone have any ideas about what they want to see?
