Naomi shrugged out of her jacket as she felt Emily shuddering in front her. They were now sat on the ground, the blonde's back leaning against the huge tree. Her one leg was lying down while the other was curled up to her knee. Emily was sitting before her, her arm draped all over Naomi's bent leg, her whole body resting against Naomi's. The fireworks were already long gone, yet, they could not bring themselves to get up and leave the place. There was something magical in there that was holding them both, keeping them from leaving.
"Here Em, wear this." Naomi spoke, lifting her arm to hand the black leather jacket to the shivering red head.
Emily turned her head around to face the other girl. "What about you?" She asked.
"I'll be fine." Naomi answered with a wink. "Besides, all the more reason to hug you." She chuckled.
Emily let out a soft giggle before putting the jacket on. Once done, she took Naomi's hand and wrapped it around her waist, her own fingers filling up the spaces between Naomi's. The blonde then inched closer and planted a kiss on Emily's neck, before resting her chin above the red head's shoulder. They stayed that way for a while, just watching the sparkling stars dancing in the sky, until out of the blue, a falling star shot across the sky.
Emily's brown eyes twinkled at the sight, her finger lifting up and pointing towards the shooting star. "A falling star!" She shouted.
Naomi chuckled at Emily's childlike actions. "Make a wish then." She replied.
The red head shut her eyes tight, her lips twitching as she made her wish. With one deep breath, she opened her eyes and turned to face Naomi, a wide beaming smile forming in her lips.
"What did you wish for?" The blonde asked, returning Emily's contagious smile.
"Am I allowed to tell?" Emily innocently asked.
"Why not?"
"Because it won't come true if I tell somebody right?"
Naomi snorted, squeezing the red head's nose gently. "I made a wish too. Wouldn't you want to know?"
Emily bit her lip, weighing her decision whether to tell Naomi or not. "But what if it does not come true?"
"We'll make it come true then." Naomi answered, offering her an assuring smile.
Emily lifted her free hand, cupping Naomi's cheek, her heart swelling as Naomi leaned on her touch. "I wished that we could stay this way-" She paused, smiling at the sudden glint on Naomi's blue eyes. "-forever."
"That's not hard to do." The blonde smiled cheekily. "Are you sure though? Coz if we stay this way forever, it would be tiring. I mean, I can't sit like this that long. My back's going to hurt." She bantered.
"Naomi." Emily scowled. "I'm serious."
The blonde let out another chuckle. "I know, I know." Leaning in, she planted a soft kiss on the tip of Emily's nose. "I didn't wish for anything."
"What? No fair! You tricked me!" Emily cried out, her eyes squinting and her lips pursing at the treachery. She dropped her hands from Naomi's cheek and turned her gaze away from the blonde.
"Wait, let me finish." Naomi guffawed, her fingers capturing Emily's cheek to bring her gaze back. "I didn't wish for anything, because I can't wish for anything else. So I thanked the heavens instead."
"What for?" Emily asked, still pouting.
"For giving me a miracle. Something I needed to have after all those wasted years."
"A miracle?' The red head paused, her forehead drawing into a crease. "I don't get it. Which one?"
"You." Naomi barely whispered, her blue eyes gazing intently at Emily's brown ones.
Emily's eyes softened, her arms instantaneously throwing around Naomi's neck. She pressed her forehead against the blonde's, her brown eyes full of love and affection. She smiled widely as she saw the pair of blue ones she loved the most, mirroring the same exact emotions. "I thought you never believed in miracles?"
"I got you didn't I?" Naomi smiled back, before leaning in and closing the gap between them, her own lips claiming the red head's into one passionate kiss.
"I love you so much Emily. You're the only thing it would kill me to lose."
Silence fell. The only thing loud enough to hear was a pair of lips moving in perfect synchronization and two hearts loudly beating as one.
O+O+O+O+O+O+O+O+O
"Nai, can you sing for me?" Emily turned around to face the blonde, breaking the silence.
"Erm, Emily. I don't really sing." Naomi answered with a soft chuckle.
"C'mon. Everybody can sing."
"But I really don't sound that good. You'll laugh at me."
"No I won't. I promise." Emily replied, raising her hand as if taking an oath.
Naomi gnawed on her bottom lip, her eyes squinting a tad bit. "Can you ask for something else? I really can't sing."
"Please Nai? Pretty please?" Emily pleaded, her nose crinkling, the cutest way ever.
The blonde blew out her breath. "I hate it when you do that. You leave me defenseless."
Emily smiled at her new found strength. "So you'll sing then?"
"I got no choice, do I?" Naomi rolled eyes. "What song then?"
"You choose."
Naomi paused for a moment, thinking of a nice song she could sing. "Right. Here goes." Clearing her throat, she started.
"Been running from these feelings for so long." She snorted and laughed at the sound of her own voice. It was a bit shaky. "My voice is fucked up Em. I told you I can't sing."
"Nai, c'mon. It's not as bad as you think."
"But it is still bad."
"No. it isn't even near bad." Emily glared at the blonde. "I love your voice. So sing."
"Jesus! I can't believe you're making me do this Em." Naomi rolled her eyes. "Be thankful that I fucking love you to bits."
"Thank you." Emily burst into a fit of giggles. "Let's hear it then."
Drawing out another deep breath, Naomi started all over. "Been running from this feeling for so long, telling my heart I didn't need you. Pretending I was better off alone, but I know that it's just a lie." She stared at Emily's sparkling brown eyes, telling her that she meant every lyric she was singing.
"So afraid to take a chance again. So afraid of what I feel inside." She smiled upon seeing Emily's tainted cheeks, her fingers holding the red head's chin to stop her from hiding her sudden flush.
"But I need to be next to you. Oh I, oh I, I need to share every breath of you. Oh I, oh I, I need to know I can see you smile each morning, look into your eyes each night for the rest of my life. Here with you, near with you, oh I, I need to be next to you, need to be next to you." She closed her eyes as a warm, overwhelming feeling settled on her stomach. An incognizant heartfelt smile spread on her lips. She couldn't remember the last time she smiled like this, a smile that reached her eyes.
"That sounded like shit didn't it?" She asked as she opened her eyes. Her forehead drew into a crease at the sight of an unmoving Emily, her brown eyes watery. "Em, are you okay?" She worriedly asked.
"I love you. I love you so much." Emily answered, her heart swelling with glee, ten folds.
God, she just can't believe that this girl was really hers.
O+O+O+O+O+O+O+O+O
Naomi's eyes fluttered open, her vision adjusting on the now bright surroundings. The sun had almost finished rising, its rays scattering all over the park. She looked around, her gaze eventually falling down on Emily, whose head was nuzzled on the crook of her neck, still soundly sleeping. She smiled at the view of their intertwined hands, draped over Emily's waist. It would seem that they had fallen asleep on the same position they had the previous night, her leaning against the tree, Emily resting against her. She leaned in to kiss the top of Emily's hair, her mind battling whether to wake the red head or not. She was enthralled at the sight of Emily sleeping, entirely drawn to it in fact, yet, she knew that this was not the most comfortable position to sleep with, and she wanted Emily to have the best sleep she could ever have. Her concern won over her desire and she decided to wake the red head up with a soft shake on her shoulder. Emily stirred a little, her eyes batting open. Her lips pulled into a smile as soon as Naomi's face came into view.
"Hey." The blonde greeted with a wide, mesmerized smile in her lips.
"Hey." Emily greeted back, her hand covering her mouth as she stifled a yawn. She stretched her arms open, wincing a bit as she felt the blood flowing over her veins.
"Had a nice sleep?"
"My sleep's way better than nice." Emily replied, her smile cheeky. "Lovely singing."
"Oi! Stop that!" Naomi chuckled. "I embarrassed myself way too much last night. Don't rub it in."
"Can you sing for me again?"
"Hah! You wish." Naomi cried out, sticking her tongue out. "We better get back to the house. I think I need to lie down on the bed for a while. My back is aching. You're not that light you know." She bantered.
It was Emily's turn to stick out her tongue, sending her nose into a crinkle. "But still, loved the singing." She giggled, running away from Naomi.
"Oi!" The blonde shouted. "I told you not to rub it in!" She sprang to her feet, catching up with Emily who'd already gone ahead.
It was a perfect little world they both had by now, yet, an inevitable danger was just hanging around the corner.
