Sorry about the wait. Your reviews for the last chapter were lovely. Just so you all know the beginning of this will be a bit cliched but it was bound to happen really.
I just want to say thank you to everyone that is still reading this. I didn't think this would be read at all, so thanks :D.
I DON'T OWN SKINS.
Enjoy.
"What does this mean? You know for us?"
So all in all operation 'something to do with Emily' was quite a success to some degree. It may have been planned under the influence of really strong pain killers and was then executed under the influence of the same really strong pain killers but I did sort of achieve my main goal. I told her and she gave me the perfect reply, which saved me from feeling like a complete twat. So really I should be over the moon right now. I should be on cloud nine. Basically I should be all of the metaphors used to show that you are really happy. But in all honesty I don't know what I feel right now. I'm just lying in bed, with my eyes fixed shut, knowing that Emily is right next to me and she's closer to me than she was last night, or I'm closer to her.
I don't want to wake up. I don't want to open my eyes at all. Partly because I was exhausted after my early morning adventures and right now I'm very comfortable in my bed, all snuggled up in my duvet but also because I would have to face the question that has been on my brain all night; "What does this mean?" I had hardly slept because of all of these thoughts buzzing around in my head and it didn't help having the subject of my infatuation sleeping right next to me. I don't regret telling her, far from it, it's just...I don't know where to go from here. How do I act around her? What am I supposed to do? What are 'we'? I fucking wish I had the answers to all of these questions. I've never been in this kind of situation. I've never liked anyone as much as I like Emily right now. And I most definitely have never been liked in return. Why can't things just be simple?
I've been lying here with my eyes firmly shut for god knows how long. I'm going to have to get up soon though, as the holiday club starts at 9.30 and I have to be there for 8, as usual. I might as well just get up now and get the awkward silence in the morning over and done with now or I could wait for my mum to run into my room witnessing whatever position Emily and me are lying in. I think I know which option I prefer, none of the above perhaps? My decision is made for me as a drozy voice breaks my chain of thought completely.
"Naoms, it's nearly 8." I finally open my eyes and notice that my head is resting upon Emily's chest. I can hear her faint heart beat below me beating a steady rhythm that is oddly hypnotic. I just want to go back to sleep. I grumble in response to Emily and she just giggles at how reluctant I am to actually get up. I really don't want to move. All of my worries have completely disappeared. Being here, now, with Emily is just perfect. A smile now creeps across my face. I think operation 'something to do with Emily' was actually a complete success. I'm happy. I don't know what we are, or what this means still, but for now I'm content with what is going on.
"Naoms, as much as staying in bed sounds like a plan, your mum has been shouting your name for the past half hour, and seriously it's 5 to 8." SHIT! I didn't think it was that close to 8. Right I'm getting up now.
Within 10 minutes I had popped in and out of the shower, clothed myself and managed to fall over while attempting to put my tights on. This had prompted a short outburst of giggles from the red head who was still sitting quietly on my bed. She looked like such a child, sitting cross legged, in my t-shirt that was drowning her. It was adorable. I grinned at her and she grinned back at me.
Emily had finally chosen to get her lazy arse out of bed as well. Well this was after a lot of persuading from me. Overall she's a grumpy bitch in the morning. Well, more accurately an adorable, grumpy bitch.
"Naomi! Are you ready yet?" Shit my mum. She doesn't know Emily's here, or that Emily stayed over last night. Shit she's really the mother from hell when feelings are involved. She's going to know something's going on the moment I walk down the stairs, she probably knew before I knew, she's like Effy. Shit Effy. These are the things that have been worrying me. People asking questions that I can't answer, and that is exactly what Effy and my mum do. They always want 'honesty' from me, but if I don't know the truth how can I tell them?
"Naomi, your mum." Emily jabbed me in the ribs a bit to get my attention, and she succeeded, I turn to look at her and I instantly get lost in those eyes of hers. Fucking hell they are so warm. What does this all fucking mean? I just want to know what this is. She asked me and I couldn't answer, which probably means that she doesn't even know herself. I feel different when I'm with Emily. I know I have friends like JJ, but knowing Emily has made me realise so many things about myself. I've been alone for so long but now I feel like I have someone that cares about me. Someone that isn't going to fuck off and leave me. Emily has tried to hard to get to know me, and I have let her, kind of. Me and her obviously need to talk about everything cos we do need to know what 'this' means.
"Naomi for fucks sake we are going to be late." Gina, my mum, just barges into my room, no knocking or anything just straight in, probably almost breaking the door itself. This just breaks me out of my thoughts, which for once are actually quite important. Gina looks towards me and then over to Emily, confusion clearly apparent on her face which is soon replaced by a smile. "Oh Emily nice to see you, I didn't know you were here. Now hurry the fuck up." Well that smile was short lived.
"Come on then Fitch." I make to leave the room but Emily grabs my hand. Her hands are so soft, I feel like I can't move and I think my stomach just did multiple uncoordinated flips. Yep even my stomach is as uncoordinated as me.
"Naomi." Her eyes are fixed to the floor as usual, I know what she's thinking about, it's probably the same as me, apart from without the very "graceful" flipping stomach, her stomach probably flips in a very graceful manner, just flipping about as it does. Her stomach is probably very lovely.
"I know Em. Lets just go yeah." I try to smile and reassure her but I don't think it's working that well. Right time for plan B.
I quickly lean forward and plant a small kiss on one of her cheeks. Her face instantly lights up, with her obviously trying to hide that fact, but failing. This is probably the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life. She finally meets my gaze and grins at me. Whatever 'this' is...well I hope it all goes okay, cos Emily is the best thing in my life right now.
Upon arriving at the church Emily and me were set to work, setting out tables, cleaning up the remainder of yesterdays mess and even putting out the infamous parachute again. Emily is like a pro with the parachute. Yes I made her do it. I'm really not interested in receiving another head injury, it wasn't fun. The whole morning had just consisted of laughing and smiling, I could get used to having her around more often. Once JJ arrived we started setting out all of the craft materials, him and Emily got on like a house on fucking fire. It was sweet. My best friend and my...well I still don't know what Emily and I don't think she's actually mine, but my best friend and Emily were getting on and that's all I could ask for right now.
So the morning so far had been really really good. JJ and Emily had been getting to know each other all morning. Once Freddie and Katie got here they came over to us three. It was fun, that is until Katie dragged Emily off 'twin sister time' she called it, bollocks. So now me, JJ, and Freds are just sitting about in the church waiting for the children to make there appearance. Well in reality, Freddie's should be waiting for Katie but is probably waiting for Effy, and JJ seems quite content with us, and I'm waiting for Emily to return and right on que here she is with Katie as well. It doesn't look like they've been fighting or anything, not that there's a reason why they should. Katie looks ridiculously happy, and Emily has a fake smile plastered across her face, I've come to know how she smiles and that is definitely not genuine.
"You alright Em?" I smile at her, willing her to smile back at me. Thank god she does. I can't be doing with this fake smile plaguing Emily's features, it just seems wrong.
Finally the children have arrived, and I don't have to spend anymore time with Katie Fitch, she is the complete opposite to Emily. They don't even look that similar. They are so different.
"Naomi." Effy. Shit. I turn around to be faced with Effy's cold blue eyes. I gesture for us to go to the toilets, I'm not having this conversation here. Before leaving I just turn to Emily placing my hand on the small of her back involuntarily and let her know where I'm going.
In the toilets, I place myself next to a sink, leaning nonchalantly against it. Effy props herself in front of one of the cubicles.
"So?" Oh Effy, always the informative speaker.
"So what Eff?"
"Emily. You."
"Yeah we're friends." Why don't I just tell her, maybe she could shed some light on what's going on herself.
"You're not 'just friends' I know you Naomi, and you don't have 'just friends', well apart from JJ. You like her."
"Fine. I don't see why this has anything to do with you."
"She likes you too." A small smile graces my lips, it was nice to here Effy say that Emily likes me, of course it was even better when Emily said it herself.
"I know."
"She wears your clothes?" Fucking hell, I knew someone would pick up on that little fact.
"Well she needed clothes, I was just being nice."
"You're never 'nice'." An amused smirk appears on Effy's face. I miss this, with her.
"Fuck off." I return her amused smirk, but raise her a raised eye brow, she knows she can't beat the raised eye brow.
"She knows you like her doesn't she?" I simply nod. "And you know she likes you already." I nod again. "So what does it mean?"
"Fucking hell, I don't even know, I was hoping you could tell me Eff."
"I can't do that. I thought you were Naomi 'all seeing' Campbell?"
"Yeah but Eff, I haven't been in this situation before, I don't know what to do."
Our limited conversation is interrupted by the beautiful little red head. Emily Fitch.
"Sorry, I was just checking you hadn't gotten swallowed by the toilet or something." I laugh lightly, she's adorable. "Oh and Gina wants us all out there, something about team talks and shit."
Effy walks away instantly.
"Let's go then Lady Muck."
"So I'm Lady Muck again?"
"Yeah well you have something on your nose...just there" I tap the tip of her nose and it screws up slightly. I think this is now more adorable than her sitting on my bed being drowned by my t-shirt. "Glue."
"Thanks." She just smiles at me again, she really is beautiful.
So there it is, chapter 6. I hope you're all still liking this. Thank you for all of your reviews, honestly they are AMAZING! I will try to update again as soon as I can.
You all know what to do.
