We kissed for what seemed like forever, slowly enjoying the moment. After about 10 minutes we stopped and just stared into each others eyes. I loved her eyes; they were every bit as perfect as the rest of her body.
"You know I'm not really like this. It's just, I feel like I have known you forever Naomi. I couldn't resist you, I just…"
"I know I felt it too..." I said cutting her sentence short as I wanted her to know that I felt every bit of electricity as she did. Regardless of how utterly confused I was, the kiss was amazing. I knew that much.
"So, I know this is going to sound like I'm hitting on you completely, but do you want to come back to mine? It's gone 2am and I only live 5 minutes away" Her eyes were pleading, and she looked quite anxious waiting for my reply.
"Yeah sure, your place sounds great " I said with a genuine smile. I didn't mind one bit if she was hitting on me. I mean, I secretly hoped she was.
9. 00 Am. Oh Jesus, holy crap! I woke up in a strange bed and found a somewhat out of it Emily tucked up under a quilt. Last night was a blur, but the kiss we shared stayed fixated on my mind.
So here was the deal. I kissed a girl. I kissed a girl I had known for approximately 12 hours. I kissed a girl, and the biggest cliché of them all was, I liked it. Oh shit, I liked it.
I looked at my phone, one new message from Effy reading:
"Hope you and Em had fun last night ;)
you seemed to hit it off really well, which I could obviously see coming.
Anyway, give me a text when you're awake and we'll meet at the shipper's café for a coffee.
Love Effy xo"
I got out of bed quietly, trying not to wake Emily from her sleepy state. I began texting Effy back, saying I would meet her at 10:30am in the café.
I looked over at the bed and Emily was just waking up. Her eyes looked saw, her red hair all messed up over her face and her mascara was half way down her cheeks. She looked like she had a heavy night, but she was still beautiful.
"Hey I'm going to get going I think, got people to meet, things to do you know?" I said in a timid voice, biting my lip and projecting my anxiety all round her room. I need to learn how to grow a pair.
"It was nice to get to know you Nai" said Emily in such an adorable way. She rubbed her eyes and smiled.
I paused for a sec. This was my chance to stop running.
"It was...well, now we officially know each other, when shall we meet again?" Upon saying this I felt my stomach go, I hoped she would want to see me. Fuck, I really hoped, but had no idea why. I just knew this girl was worth all the butterfly shit.
"How about tomorrow night if you're free? We could watch a movie and get a pizza?" she looked at me and her eyes darkened.
"Sounds fabulous, text me" I said with all the charm and wit I could muster up at that time of the morning.
And with that, I walked out of Emily's house, on the way to meet the enigma that is Effy Stonem.
Oh shit. Shit, crap, fuck. In almost 24 hours I had met a girl, kissed her, slept in her bed and arranged a date with her, well pizza and a movie in my eyes is a date, so I shall call it that.
But oh my days. Never had it dawned on me that the feelings I felt were ones of lust, of passion, of wanting...of Emily.
"You're a tad late Nai, where the fuck were you? Your house is like 2 minutes away from here!" said Effy, always the patient charmer. I mean I was like 10 minutes late, Jesus.
"Yeah sorry I'm like 10 minutes late you old coon, I slept at Emily's last night and she lives like 700 miles away..." I knew how Effy would react to that statement, so I just waited till her face lit up and her eyes looked deep into mine.
"WHAT…THE...FUCK!!!!!?" said Effy with a huge grin on her face, her piercing blue eyes looking deep into mine.
"Naomi you old Casanova! I knew it would happen, but I didn't think it would this soon you know" said Eff with a dirty look on her face.
"Well I guess your perfect judgement has been ruined Eff, think your loosing your magic touch. All that all seeing, all knowing bollocks, just an act obviously" I said smirking and winking. Naomi Campbell-1. Effy Stonem-0.
"So, what went down then Miss iamsosarcasticithurts?". Effy rolled her eyes and started to light up a fag.
"No we didn't shag or anything. But we kissed. Well we kissed a hell of a lot actually. But...I'm so confused right now, I'm not even gay".
I sounded so unsure of what I had just said. Until meeting Emily I hadn't really felt anything for anyone. I always maintained that all that love and lust crap is for jumped up wankers. I never assumed that I would ever fall for anyone. I mean, I'm not even sure if I had fallen for Emily. I was so confused. Oh God, please help me.
"Well Naoms, gay, bi, or straight, I still love you" said Effy before taking a sip of her hot coffee and shouting bollocks really loud because she burnt her tounge.
"Thanks Eff, but to be honest, it was a drunken kiss; I didn't even talk to her about how she felt. I just got up and ran basically, like I always fucking do. But I'm meeting her tomorrow, so I'll muster the courage to find out then".
"Okay, but how do you feel about her?" Effys eyes shone, she probably knew at the time how I felt deep down but wanted me to say it aloud.
"I like her. In fact, I think she's great. I liked her company and I even liked kissing her. We're chalk and cheese you know? But our personalities seem to just...fit". Saying it out loud to my best mate felt right. It didn't feel weird admitting that I might actually like a girl. It felt natural.
"There you go then. Go for it. You have always maintained this bravado that you don't need someone, but Nai, we all do, even me. I mean Freddie's not everybody's idea of a knight in shining armour. But he's mine and he's great for me. He makes me laugh and more importantly...he makes me happy" said Eff; she really knew what to say and how to say it.
"So don't let the one person who you felt an instant connection with slip through your fingers. I mean, it's always the people you least expect that can make you the most happy". And with Effys words of wisdom etched deeply into my mind, she got up, gave me a hug and went to meet Freddie.
The people you least expect. Too right. I never once thought that a petite red head would make me feel like this. I spent the rest of that day thinking of her. About our first encounter, our first glance...our first kiss.
My mind was full of what if's and maybes about last night; I was going mental just replaying our conversations over and over. So I phoned her. I couldn't stand having to wait till tomorrow to have my questions answered. Cue the sick feeling in my stomach.
"Hey Naomi, was just thinking about you, how odd" said Emily sounding happy that I rang. A good start so far.
"Hey yeah I just wanted to see how you were and wondered if you were free today?" Oh God I really hoped she was.
"I am indeed; do want to have our date, I mean meet up today then?" she sounded flustered, I however didn't mind her caling it a date in the slightest.
"That sounds good, so it's a date now is it?" I said with a cheeky grin etching across my face. All these feelings were starting to get to me, I started to play on them.
"Only if you want it to be? So if you could be at mine for say 6pm?" Emily's husky voice sounded so sexy, I almost forgot everything.
"Looks like i'll see you later then" I said trying to sound like I was totally cool about the whole thing. I wasn't of course.
"You will indeed"
And with that we hung up and I felt butterflies slowly subside. I felt so happy, so nervous, but also so conflicted? I Hoped all these feelings would die down in time, as I wanted to be at peace again. Little did I know, they wouldn't go away anytime soon...
