Disclaimer: I don't own Skins..
Naomi found herself outside of a house she's never been before a few weeks later. She's not even sure why's she here but that doesn't stop her from walking up the front steps and knocking on the door. Placing the paper with the scribbled address in her pocket. A very old lady answers the door. She looks the blonde up and down.
" Yeah?" She asks eyebrows raised.
" Hi. Is Keith here?" Naomi asks nervously. The women gestures for Naomi to enter.
" KEITH! There's someone here to see you!" She screams loud enough to scare the blonde who is slowly entering the house. " Pick up your Fucking skates!" She adds after nearly tripping on them.
Naomi looks around the house a little until she see's a man looking to be in his 60's coming down the stairs in a silk red robe with nunchucks around his neck. She's surprised to see this man is who Cook has always looked up to.
" Keith?" Naomi asks, just to make sure.
" What the fuck do you want?" Keith asks grumply with a whole lot of alcohol on his breath, Naomi takes a step back.
" I'm Naomi, friends with Cook." Naomi informs unsurly. She's see the mans face light up 100 watts.
" Fucksakes! Why didn't you say so?" He smiles at the girl." Come here, girl, Give me hug." He throws opens his arms in invitation. Naomi laughs nervously as she pulled into a big bear hug. Afterwards they both take a seat.
" This your place?" Naomi asks to make conversation.
" No,no,no. I live with my mum." He states, lighting a cigar.
"Oh." The blonde doesn't know what to say to that.
" So how's my protege?" Keith asks excitedly.
" Oh yeah, Cook is a.. believe it or not is getting married." Naomi chuckles slightly still a little stunned by it all.
" What?" Keith asks surprised, then starts cracking up. " What an idiot!" he shouts. " Good Good. More for ladies for us." He pause. " You are Cook lezza friend right?" The blonde nods.
Just when Naomi was about to speak a women around the blondes age comes walking over looking a bit disheveled.
" Hey listen, I've got to go." The women says looking guilty.
" Hey babe, you do whatever you have to do." Keith says, getting up and walking over to her.
Naomi watching in confusion as this very old man makes out with this stunning beautiful women. She can't understand how he does it. If she wasn't so grossed out she'd be impressed.
" Okay be strong." He whispers to her as she walks away out the house.
Naomi finds herself smiling.
" That's unbelievable." She says impressed.
" I'm just living the dream." He winks at her.
" I gotta admit, I came over not knowing what to expect. But it's clear you still got it." Naomi shakes her head. " I mean look at her! Just living the dream, I love that." Naomi laughs as Uncle Keith high fives her. " Where did you get that girl? She was stunning." Naomi asks with a huge grin.
" I got her yesterday." He says, " I rode my bike over to a cemetery nearby." Naomi's smile starts to fall slowly taking in his words. " Her boyfriend just died." He finishes.
" You met her at a funeral?" Naomi ask slowly not quite believing her ears. Uncle keith just smiles.
" Yeah, dude died in hang gliding accident. What an idiot." He laughs even louder. Naomi just stars at him with narrowed eyebrows, disgusted to say the least.
" You...um... I should um.. Sorry mate, I need to be going." Naomi stutters, standing up quickly. " This was a big mistake coming here." She says more to herself.
" Hey wait up.. Come with me to one tomorrow, now that Cook's out of the game that leaves us two. These things are done best in a duo, ya know?" He says, as Naomi walks towards the door. " Whatta say?" Naomi turns around than.
" I don't want this. Any of this. It's all just so very fucking wrong and I... I"m done." Naomi says, and then smiles. " Thank you." She says. " Thank you for letting me see that." She finishes patting him on the shoulder and turns to leave. Naomi knew exactly where she was heading.
"While each man thinks he knows love, love we have learned is a mystery." Father O'Neill quotes standing in front of the wedding couple. " That's what makes today so special."
Cook and Katie stand holding hands facing eachother, looking at eachother with love in their eyes and adoring smiles. Emily stands next to Katie as her maid of honor, and Cook has James standing as his best man. He had hope with everything that it would be Naomi standing there with him on his special day but that didn't seem likely at the moment or so he thought until the church doors open silently and then slammed loudly as it shut causing everyone to turn to the intruder. Naomi.
As soon as Emily saw who it was her heart started to beat rapidly and her eyes started to water slightly as she took a deep shaky breath and force herself to look away. She felt like the air in the room was sucked out. She was told Naomi wouldn't be here today.
" Wow, hey!" Naomi says trying to hold her own as the secret service guys at the wedding grab her.
" OI! Let her go!" Cook shouts from the altar stopping the two men. " She's the best man." He informs grinning toothily.
The men look over at Rob for his approvable seeing as they do work for him after all. Rob just nods respectful of Cooks wishes.
" Thank you." Naomi says to the men when they let her go, fixing her black sundress that she thought was fitting as a best man whose a women to wear.
Naomi nods at Cook as thanks, he nods back. Naomi starts making the long walk to the alter to stand next to her best mate on his day.
" I don't believe it." Claire glares.
Katie turns to Emily, whose head is casted down looking extremely upset. Her eyes are watering when she looks up to see Naomi almost at the alter. Naomi smiles at her, Emily smile back tightly.
When she finally reaches them she goes to Cook.
" Sorry I'm late." She says.
" I'm just glad you're here." Cook says softly smiling at the blonde broadly. He goes to turn back to Katie but Naomi pulls on his arm.
" And I'm sorry I called you a chav, I didn't.." Naomi starts but Cook shakes his head to cut her off.
" Naoms, it's alright, yeah?" He smiles at her. But Naomi wasn't done.
" And I'm sorry I called you a tosser, I don't know why I did that." Naomi frowns.
" Nai, I forgive you babes.. Do you mind if I get married now?" He smirks at her and Naomi knows they really are okay.
" Oh Yeah, Yeah go ahead." She smiles sheepishly taking a stand behind Cook. " Hi James." she whispers to James who now stands behind her. He smiles back at her shyly.
Naomi is now directly across from Emily whose staring at Naomi intensely while the blonde finds herself looking down in thought. She looks up moments later when the priest starts talking again.
"Pss, Emily" Naomi whispers trying to gain Emilys attention who was trying too hard to focus on the priest. Emily looks to Naomi with her watery wide eyes. " I'm not here to bother you, I just came to be his best man. Don't worry about me." Naomi tries to reassure. Receiving a side eye from Cook. " Pretend I'm not here."
Emily scoffs bitterly looking away from her with glassy eyes, turning towards the priest again. " Okay" She says softly and quietly feeling anything but. Her heart feels like it's going to explode and she just keeping together trying not to breakdown in front of all these people.
" I'm not crazy." Naomi continues despite herself. " You look really beautiful by the way.. That's all I'm going to say." The blondes adds to a growing upset Emily. The tears in her eyes about to spill with every word from the blonde. Katie glares at Naomi.
Naomi can't help herself when she says..
" I can't stop thinking about you. It's all I think about, and I don't know what to do." Naomi looks at her
Emily is tilting her head staring at Naomi, a single tear escaping. She can't believe the blonde is doing this to her. She takes another shaky breath trying to calm her heart rate down because Naomi is looking at her like this and she can't take.
" God I miss you." Naomi says pleadingly. And that's the last straw for Emily, she can't be there anymore. She can't take it anymore. Naomi can't do that, she doesn't have a right to play with her emotions like that. So with a last look at Naomi she turns to walk away the tears coming down her cheeks all at once.
" Excuse me, I'm so sorry." Emily mumbles to her sister as she walks down the stairs away from the altar, away from Naomi.
" Ems. Ems. Hold on." Naomi calls after her but she keeps walking wiping at her eyes, sniffling. " Emily! Will you wait just a second?!" Emily finally stops but doesn't turn around. Doesn't want Naomi to see her crying.
" All I wanted was a second alone with you so that I could explains things." Naomi says, Emily turns her head slightly at the blondes words, still not facing the blonde. " But I've never got that chance, and maybe I don't deserve it. But here it goes...For longer than I care to remember my business has been crashing wedding." At this information Emily takes a deep breathe, biting her lip to keep from crying too hard.
" I crashed weddings to meet girls, business was good. I met a lot of girls. And it was childish, juvenile-" Before Naomi could think of another word to explain it, Emily turned around with tears in her eyes.
" And pathetic ." Emily added angrily, although her voice broke painfully as she stared Naomi in the eyes.
" And pathetic." Naomi agree softly. " But you know what? It also lead me to you, so it's hard for me to completely regret it." Emily's facing the blonde completely now, staring at her with sad glassy intense eyes, she's listening intently. " And that person you met at your parents house, that was really me. Maybe not my name, I'm Naomi Campbell by the way." She pause as everyone in the room giggles a little at the name. But Emily's still looking at Naomi intently, not even cracking a smile. Which makes Naomi love her even more. Naomi continues. " Or my job, But the feelings we felt, the stupids jokes the laughs, that was all me." Naomi smiles when she see the hint of a smile on Emily otherwise sad face.
" I've changed, I realized something." She turns to Cook than. " I went to see Uncle Keith, who you forgot to mention is totally insane, he's started crashing funerals." Everyone in the room gasps, Naomi rambles on to Cook. " But you know he also might be a genius because it actually does work. He's cleaning up, he-"
" Naomi!" Emily shout whispers, and Naomi realizes she got carried away talking about Keith. She still can't help being impressed by a man that age able to pull such stunning women. She turns back to Emily who's looking at Naomi in disbelief.
" Sorry, like I was saying. I went to visit Cooks friend. And he was calling Cook an idiot for getting married. For falling in love, and committing himself to one girl for the rest of his life. For meeting his soulmate." Naomi looks at Emily with loving eyes.
" And I realized in that moment that the only idiot is the one who let's their soulmate slip away without a fight . I know you're it for me Emily. I've loved you from the first moment I saw you. So I'm here, and I'm fighting" Naomi says sincerely.
Just as Emily was about to say something, she was interrupted.
" Wow! Wow!" Claire stands from her seat. " That was quite the little speech Naomi, but nobody here cares about how depressing your life is." She turns to Emily than. " Emily honey, could you just go back up on the altar so we can have a wedding?"
But Emily's not looking at Claire, no she's looking right at Naomi intensely. After a moment of silence she tears her eyes away from the blonde and looks over to Claire.
" I'm sorry. I can't." Emily says.
" What?" Claire ask narrowing her eyes at the redhead.
" I can't marry you." She states quietly.
Naomi smiles while Claire laughs fakely.
" Rob, do something about your daughter-" Claire directs at Rob thinking that Rob could help.
Rob stands up than looking at Naomi with an unreadable expression. Than turns to Claire quickly.
" Claire, I've always liked you." He sighs. " So I put up with your stories about scallops and otters, but this is her decision. I stand by my daughter." He looks over at Emily, who smiles gratefully in return.
" You don't know shit." Claire puts up her hands to Rob. " EMILY! Go back up on the alter!" She yells.
" No." Emily says firmly.
" Emily, get up on that altar right now." Claire demands, getting angrier by the second.
" Stop it." Emily says finally standing up for herself.
" EMILY! GET YOUR FUCKING ASS UP ON THAT ALTAR RIGHT NOW!" Claire screams losing all control.
" Wow! Getting a nice preview of what marriage would be like right there." Naomi scoffs, couldn't help but make a sarcastic comment.
Though that seem like the worst time to say it as Claire eyes lock with Naomi as she came running towards her fist raised.
" CLAIRE! NO!" Emily screamed.
" Oh god, here it goes. " Naomi said calmly already being at the end of her fist a couple of times, and Naomi isn't really a fighter so she just flinches preparing for the punch But it never came. Instead when she opened her eyes she saw Katie leaning over Claire who was on the floor clutching her nose as blood gushed out.
" Nobody talks to my sister like that!" Katie informed towering over Claire." Bitch." she added as an after thought.
" I think I had her." Naomi says to Cook who's standing next to her after running to her side.
" I know ya did." He winks, and nods to Emily. " Now go kiss your girl."
Naomi smiles and watches Cook wrap Katie in his arms kissing her lustfully, not doubt turned on by that little display of aggression. Naomi takes this time to turn around to face Emily who's already watching her. Naomi starts making her way towards the redhead with a smile.
" Would it be a total cliche if I kissed you right now?" Naomi asks playfully.
" Yes." Emily says softly with tears in her eyes and a intense expression.
Naomi grabbed her face and smashed their lips together passionately, Emily responding wholeheartedly.
" I love you too, ya know." Emily smiles pulling Naomi in for another kiss.
" I know." Naomi smiles into the kiss.
