A/N:
Red: Hey all... so there's a time jump from the last chapter, which I'm sure you all guessed from the chapter title. But in case you missed that, I wanted to be sure there was no confusion. Can I just say that there's probably going to be a smut warning for quite a few of the chapters so I don't have to say it every time? I hope so. But anyway, I hope you enjoy, and let us know if you do (or don't)! Oh, and I can't forget... Iwy says hello too!

"Come on Katie," Naomi sighed and looked at her girlfriend with tired eyes. "We overslept and I'm late. Millie's gonna kill me." She gestured to the car door, trying to willing Katie to open it but the girl was still tired and not very fast.
Her brain wasn't quite functioning yet, so the words that Naomi was saying to her just weren't making any sense. It wasn't until her mind caught up with her that she realized what had been said. Katie opened the door, and she yawned, following the blonde inside.
"Echo!" Naomi whistled and held the door open for the enthusiastic dog who waited until they had gone through to enter the pub. The blonde tried really hard to keep her eyes from rolling back and closing but it was a bit too hard. It had been a long night.
Blindly reaching for Katie's hand she let herself be pulled by her girlfriend and sighed when they sat down by the bar. Echo, the huge mix of a dog with massive fur and huge ears and even bigger eyes was already sitting under the chairs. Naomi's head flopped down on Katie's shoulder and she closed her eyes.
"Millie, babe, can we get a couple coffee's, please?" Katie asked the girl with a smile, kissing her girlfriend's head. The twin had her arm around the blonde's shoulders and she sighed a little bit, also fairly tired.
She looked around the room, looking for Emily and Effy, but she couldn't see them anywhere, and the pub was pretty much empty at this time of the morning.
Coffee's were sat in front of the two girls.
Katie had just taken her first sip when she felt a hand smack her shoulder.
She turned to see her twin, eyes still wide from going fishing the night before, but she was coming down... Emily always had the worst ones. "Millie, the ... almost most amazing woman in the world... would you please make me the strongest coffee you've ever made in your life? Seriously, if its thick as tar, that'll be perfect." Emily said to the bartender, then looked at her twin. "Morning sleepyhead."
"She's too loud... tell her to be not that loud." Whined Naomi. She groaned and looked up, turned to Emily then and grimaced. "You okay? Or want me to take your shift later? Looks like a long night."
Her hand reached already out, waiting expectantly for the bounty.
Katie gently ran her fingers through the blonde hair, pressing into her temples a little bit to try to ease some of the pressure.
Emily hung the rucksack from Naomi's neck and popped her on the back of her head for good measure, smirking when the blonde grumbled under her breath.
"Ems, that was unnecessary." Katie chided her twin as she took a drink of coffee, almost moaning from it. "How was your night last night? Productive?"
Emily chuckled. "Yeah, did pretty good, thanks. Where's Eff? I need to get home and sleep if I have any chance of making it to work on time. I'll apologize now Naoms, just in case I am late, but I will get here."
Waving the advanced apology away Naomi raised her head and smiled at Emily. "She should have been here an hour ago. Finished fishing early and said she'd be here before class." Just when she said it the back-room door opened and Effy came walking in.
She looked a bit different, and yet the same as always. The year since she met Emily, properly, did her good. Her eyes were brighter, her hair healthier, her skin had more colour and she still wore slutty clothes and didn't understand the importance of underwear.
"You were screaming for me?" Smirked Effy when reaching Emily, she leaned at the counter with a teasing expression when she saw the twin's eyes. "Good night?" Nodding into Naomi's direction as a thank you for the coffee that was pushed her way Effy raised a brow at Emily, waiting.
Emily's eyes twinkled into the brunette's, her head tilting to the side. "Always screaming for you baby." She teased. "Yeah, it was good, actually. Ready for class today?" She reached froward a bit and slipped a hand around Effy's waist. "How you feeling?"
"Tired. Want me to bunk off and have a nap with you? Not much to do in class anyway." Grinned Effy and pulled Emily in, hugging her close as she kissed her temple. "Last fishing for the week, you've been out enough, yeah? You need to sleep properly."
"Totally, but... you should be going to class and I do have to come back here later for work. If I wasn't in dyer need of a shower, I'd just sleep in the back so I wouldn't have to drive all the way back here." Emily's eyebrow lifted and she brought her lips to Effy's ear. "Maybe I've been saving up for something, babe... a surprise... plus sleep is overrated, lose half the day by sleeping."
Effy smiled.
Naomi sighed and slowly got up from her stool, kissing Katie on her way behind the counter. "Can you take Echo, Emily? Just bring her later when you come back, okay?" When hearing her name, the dog jumped up and almost knocked over Katie's stool. Waiting expectantly why she was called, before sniffing on Katie and running to Emily then.
"Yeah, I'll just bring her back to mine, she can watch me sleep or something, huh Echo." The twin said first to Naomi, then down at the dog that was running over to the younger twin.
"Don't even think about keeping her." Katie teased. The older Fitch's gaze then went to Eff. "Think you could drop me off at the clinic since you're not bunking off to sleep with my twin, and you're actually attending class?" She smiled brightly, then looked back to her girlfriend, who really looked like she was about to pass out. "Babe, do you want me to stay?"
"It's fine, I'll manage." Whispered Naomi into her girlfriend's lips.
They needed another car.
Usually Katie would take it, since her way was longer, but that meant Naomi had to hope Emily would come to work with a car. Which, of course, didn't happen that often because of fishing and her still flying.
She stood and patted Echo's huge head, sighing when the dog didn't even look away from Emily.
Echo knew that Emily would be taking her, and she always thought she was chosen for protection. The twin always slept and Echo protected, so that Emily could rest in peace.
The dog loved the twins.
Differently than Naomi and Effy but also plenty more.
"Sure, I have time left." Nodded Effy and pressed her lips to Emily's throat. "To yours or mine? This never ending question could be easily dealt with." She mumbled, softly stroking Emily's hip.
"Still trying to tie your 'not' - girlfriend to you Eff? Don't think she'll do it as long as you don't get that stick out of your arse and realize that she is also your girlfriend, like you are hers." Grinned Naomi when Millie handed her an energy shot and the stinking coffee for Emily.
Naomi scratched Echo's nose when she moved to take her cousin's rucksack and kiss Katie again.
Katie smiled, swore she'd been smiling non-stop since she moved out to London.
Sure, it was completely different than Bristol, but it opened up a world of opportunities for her. She was still on pace to finish her schooling in a year and a half and had half a year of her internship. She couldn't wait to just have school, then to start her job.
"So you can't take me, Eff?" Katie asked with furrowed brows when the brunette seemed to completely ignore her.
Emily chuckled. "Yah Kay, Effy can bring you, right baby?" She had the hugest puppy dog eyes ever and a bright smile across her lips. "How about you and me have a bit of time together, you're right, I need a night off to spend with you." She whispered into Effy's ear as she nibbled on her earlobe.
"Thanks Eff, I'm kind of in a hurry, and I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but can we go?" The older twin said, giving her girlfriend another kiss and whispering "see you later" into her lovely lips.
Effy sighed when Naomi threw her a cheeky smirk. "Seems like I've the car then. Go on, chauffeur my girl around."
"I said I've time, that it's not a problem." Grumbled Effy, annoyed that no one seemed to have heard her nice response. There she was, being nice, to Katie of all people and no one heard. Like always. "Whatever. You're in the back." She glared at Katie before a smile made her lips twitch and she chuckled, her eyes rolling. "So what's the plan, for today then? Ems' working day, and not fishing tonight. You pick Katie up from the clinic, since you have the car. And I'm coming here before fishing. Only have two classes, so I'll get Emily here for her shift."
Naomi nodded, pretty sure that Effy had everything right.
"Have a fun day babe, and don't bring any strays." Grinned Naomi, a bit more awake now. "House's fine but we've no time for puppies." She warned, always fearing Katie would come home with one of those cute, fat, puppies. "See you when you're off. I'll wait at the caff til you're done, yeah?"
Effy pulled Emily closer, softly stroking her cheek as she looked at Naomi prolonging their departure. "I've only one class today, so I'll be home when you're done showering and shit. Want to see you in bed, when I come. You need to sleep before work." She mumbled into Emily's ear. "How was fishing? I hope you've no bruises, love-bites or scratches. Gonna check later."
"You're not fishing tonight, Eff." Emily said, pulling the girl closer by her hips. "You need to make sure I've been a good girl and haven't let anyone mark up your property. It went well though, got three new ones last night, VIPs of a big company apparently. Gave me an up front for next week. " Her hips rolled once then she pulled away, knelt on the ground and started to make noises at Echo whilst scratching behind her ears.
"I won't bring home a puppy, Naoms, I'll bring four. Just had them dropped off at the clinic yesterday and we've making sure they're up to date on their shots and stuff." She sent her girlfriend a wink and spoke before Naomi could object. "I'm kidding, baby. I'll see you after at our meet up spot!"
With a grin Naomi slapped Katie's arse and shooed her off, patting Echo who, surprisingly, waited until she was finished before running after Emily. The dog was by her side, never walking a step ahead, never behind her, well, if there wasn't any room than she'd do that. "You good to drive, Eff?"
"Yeah, yeah. Didn't fly much, and slept two hours in the back. I'm good or I wouldn't drive them."
With a smile Naomi watched them walk away and couldn't stop the grin, she loved her life. It was fantastic. Yes, they were awfully busy, each and every one of them, had almost no time to spare but it was necessary and they knew it before deciding to do this.
Emily had never returned to Bristol, well, except for visits and business trips. She had lived with Effy for a while until she found a place and left Effy shell-shocked. They'd had a chat about that, before, and Effy had never thought that Emily would really leave and not stay with her.
Katie had stayed in Bristol for a while, often visiting on the weekends and Naomi would be driving down to see her whenever she had time off. Which was at least two days a week, it was manageable. At some point Katie had moved to London and while still in Bristol, they had started to look for a nice flat. Now they lived in a house, rented half of it and had a garden. She had to bring one of her dogs.
Echo was the most adapting one, easy to learn new things and old enough to listen but young enough so she'd not die in the next year or two.
Effy was almost done with her studies, her last semester and she was positive that she'd ace her bachelor's thesis. Had almost no classes any-more except for maybe two where she needed to at least attend a few times. Work shops to help work on her bachelor's thesis were offered and that's the only things she kept going to.
Naomi had no idea when Effy found the time to work on her thesis, though. What with fishing, flying, and Emily. But Effy did it, and she was good. She couldn't wait to have it over and done with, her bachelor so she could go to med school for another four years.
It made Naomi pale when she thought about how long it'd take Effy to actually work as a orthopedic surgeon. Fourteen years, and she only had three and a half done. 'It'll be worth it. I can start working right after med school, need six years of residence so it's giving me the opportunity to learn.' She once had explained when being high as a kite. She be 31 years old when she finally finished her studies, and Naomi couldn't decide if she was completely and fully mental or just fucking brilliant.
She had first thought that it was nothing but a cover, one that would take her years so it'll be a good one but Effy seemed to really be into it. Just like Katie was in becoming a vet.
The only good thing was that their business was covering all the studies and needed life-money so Effy didn't need another job. That would have been way too much.
Sometimes, when she was having a chat with Emily, she wondered if Katie and Effy wouldn't fit better. They had similar goals and prospects of life, were just as stubborn and motivated, only showing it differently while Naomi and Emily had the time of their lives, completely content working at the pub and having an income of doctors. Well, of course they didn't get to keep all of it, that'd be insane.
Anthea had the girls covered, providing flats and cars and things that were needed with a monthly transition. They also got to keep 11% of every deal they nailed, which was more than plenty.
Effy and Emily were fishers, bringing weekly deals and living very comfortably off of it. Naomi had her regulars which bought monthly massive amounts so she had her percentage at once, not needing to think of ways to find new people or fearing they'd stop needing her.
Katie was the only one that wasn't really involved. They were keeping her out of it, trying to make her as less a convict as possible. If it would blow up in their faces, all of them wanted Katie to be safe and taken care of. Which was already set up with the help of Gina and other people.
Naomi couldn't wait for the day Katie would be done with her studies and could do what she was born to. Without anything holding her back, telling her she wasn't allowed yet.
So yes, it was a very busy time but they were happy.
Effy smiled when Echo jumped right into the boot, getting comfortable on top of the blanket they had laid out there for her. Then she grinned at Katie, opening the door for her with a teasing glint in her eyes. "Your ride is here, princess."
Katie laughed a bit and smirked, doing a faux bow and then got in. "Thank you madam." She said in an overly proper voice. Emily slipped into the passenger seat, letting loose a yawn as her eyes dropped almost completely closed.
Effy's eyes locked with Katie through the review mirror and she nodded, starting her Audi with a long sigh and almost jumped out of her skin when music started blaring, making her arse vibrate in the seat. Her hand shot to the player and she slammed down on it, her heart beating out of her chest.
Echo was going crazy, barking and jumping around and she looked to Emily with a grimace. "Sorry babe. Was a bit loud earlier."
Emily nearly had a heart attack, her left hand holding the door and the right grabbing on Effy's thigh. She relaxed moments later when the ear-splitting music stopped abruptly.
"Fuck." Katie groaned, covering her ears in agony, holding them there a bit longer when her ears began ringing. Her jaw tensed and she looked out the window as the landscape of the city began rushing by. "Hey Eff? Thank you, for driving me around to stuff. I think I might almost have enough for a car. We desperately need another vehicle in this little family of ours."
Effy's hand covered Emily's, which was still on her thigh and she kept brushing her thumb over her skin softly. "No problem. Naomi's driving Ems around too when I can't and she's not fully recovered yet, when she is she gives Naomi the car to get home after switching shifts, it's a give and take, yeah?" Her brows furrowed in the mirror then, her gaze on Katie. "We work well together. And since we do, we told you to just pick a car, scooter or whatever. You don't have to save up, babe. It's work-essentials, bonuses. If we need another car, we do. Mum will happy to look around for one for you." Her eyes moved to the street then to Emily. She smiled.
Katie smiled gently. "Thank you for the offer, Eff, but I haven't really had a big purchase of my own, you know? Everything's gone to school or living expenses. With Naomi pretty much telling me I'm not to spend money on the house and stuff, I've been able to save up enough for a decent car." She felt proud of that fact.
Of course she could have never done it without Naomi, but still. She made sure to thank and remind the blonde how appreciative she was for everything. Even if being a dealer wasn't exactly what she had in mind, but it was Naomi's choice, and as long as she wasn't involved, and Naomi wasn't in danger, then she was okay with it all.
"Wake me up when we get home, yeah baby?" Emily mumbled, humming at the gentle brushing over her knuckles as she leaned the seat back a bit. "Night, Kay, have a good day."
Effy's hand moved to Emily's head, softly stroking her hair as she continued her chat with Katie. "I know, and it's amazing, really. I mean, you've this dream and goal and everything seems to be going exactly as planned. I guess I can understand that. You're not taking money off your dad either, want to do it all on your own and it's pretty cool." She shrugged then, lightning a fag. "I'd want to, like, have something on my own too. You know, just see that I can do it. So I get it."
Emily had pretty much passed out, her breathing deep and the only movement was the light rise and fall of her chest.
Katie smiled into the mirror. "I'm glad you understand. I don't want to seem ungrateful or anything. You could do anything, Eff. You're so fucking smart. I hope you know that if you ever needed anything, I'm here for you."
"I am doing everything, babe." Smirked Effy but it turned into a smile. She had really gotten used to Katie and her ways. "But you know... you could too. Have you ever given any thought to Ped? Don't have to be a surgeon, but you love kids and maybe healing them would be good for you. Or how about psychology? I mean, you're obviously the most sane one of us, and you don't have the urge to kill us, you have to have some special gift."
Katie's face fell only slightly.
All of them knew of Katie's inability to have children, and they were supportive, extremely so, but still some things just made her a bit sad to think about. "I couldn't be around kids, Eff, just a reminder of what I can't have, you know?" The older twin chuckled a bit at the brunette's reference to her sanity. "I think we're all a bit insane, but we work it out, you know. Keep the demons away."
They pulled up to the clinic and Katie leaned up and kissed Effy's temple. "Take care of my sister." She said in a no-nonsense voice. She knew she didn't need to remind the brunette, but it was a habit. She smiled a bit as she got out of the car and waved back before disappearing through the wide glass doors.
"She'll never stop telling me." Mumbled Effy with an easy smile when she backed away and slowed down a bit, not needing to hurry any-more. Left or right, hers or Emily's, she wondered and turned right to her place.
Emily would sleep, and Effy would go home after class and drive her to the pub, so it made more sense to go there.
It took her a good twenty minutes to pull up on her street and get out of the car. She let Echo out first, and smiled when the dog sat down by Emily's door and waited until she would get out. Effy opened the passenger door and kissed Emily's forehead. "Come on Em, we're here. You need a shower and a bed."
"Hmmmm?" Emily hummed as her eyes slowly opened, one at a time, first the left, then right. An easy smile was on her face, even if her head felt like it was going to explode as she came down from last night's events.
Echo nuzzled Emily's thigh when she got to her feet and she rubbed the dog's head. Her arm went around Effy's shoulder and she half closed her eyes, allowing the brunette to just lead her where she needed to be. "Do I stink?"
"Yeah." Smirked Effy and opened the door, her body used as it opened when she walked in first with Emily and then the dog.
Emily laughed tiredly. "You like my stink." She pointed to the dog bed and Echo moved over to sit on it without her even needing to verbalize it. She leaned over, took her shoes off and headed straight to the bathroom, leaving the door halfway open as she started to strip off and start the shower.
Effy went to the kitchen, filling water in a huge bowl that she brought to Echo's bed, scratching the dog's ears. "Watch her or you'll not get your bone tonight." She glared into the huge blue eyes of the clueless dog who leaned forward and licked all over her face, once. "Ewww. Bad Echo." Was her disgusted scream but the dog didn't care, she jumped to her feet and thought they were playing.
"Nope. You stay here." And Effy walked to the bathroom, holding her head into the shower, a grossed out expression hitting Emily. "The dog licked me."
Another laugh erupted from Emily's lips. "She licks you all the time! You just wanted a quick perv." Then she leaned in to kiss Effy's lips. "I lick you all the time and you don't seem bothered."
Effy smirked, that was true. "Yeah, well, she could do it with someone else. No wonder why she thinks it's fine molest MY face. Well trained my arse and you, my lovely girl, really shouldn't compare it to what you do to me." Her eyes darkened and she looked up and down Emily's body, obviously looking for any 'fishing-bruises'. "Turn around, please, babe."
Emily smiled and did a slow turn, holding her arms above her head, like she always did when Effy checked for any proof that she might have gone too far whilst fishing. "All clear?" She asked before turning away from Effy and putting her hands on the shower wall slightly above her head, and parted her legs. "Did you want to frisk me too? Make sure I've got nothing hidden in my pussy?"
"You're too tired." Mumbled Effy and reached into the shower, softly letting her fingers trace down Emily's spine. God, that girl was breathtaking. Simply perfect. Naomi always countered, saying that Katie really was the perfect twin but she couldn't agree. Not for her, no. "Later, when I get back, yeah?"
"Yeah, I kind of am." Was the response, but she couldn't help it when the gentle touch made her shiver and moan. "Just make sure I've enough time to get to work, Naoms will kill me if I'm late again."
"A bottle of water is by the bed, now hurry up, I need a shower too. Can't sit through class stinking of beer, sweat and sex." With a grin she pulled Emily's hand to her and kissed her knuckles before sauntering to the sitting-room.
She had two hours, not fully, and knew that if she fell asleep now she wouldn't wake up again for class.
"Okay baby." Emily said gently and hurried to finish off her shower, washing her hair and body and giving herself a quick shave.
Less than ten minutes later she was clad in a pair of knickers and flopped down on the bed. "Shower's yours, hurry up so you can be with me."
Effy smiled and walked over to Emily, leaning down she kissed her and sighed. "Sleep.."
It was both, heaven and torture that Emily didn't care for clothes either. Instead of jumping her Effy softly hugged her and then walked off, her dress swiftly pulled over her head as she shook her hips making her way out of the room.
"I will when you get back." Emily slurred, keeping her eyes open long enough to watch Effy's gorgeous form disappear into the hallway. She reached over to the water bottle and opened it. She poured it into her mouth, missing a little bit that she wiped off her face. Only once she had finished the whole thing did she set the plastic back on the table.
Her eyes were heavy and she turned onto her stomach, kicking off the blankets except for on one leg. She let her eyes close, but she kept listening to the shower, holding off as long as possible for Effy to finish.
The brunette was struggling.
She knew that Emily would try not to fall asleep now, and even though she knew it her hands couldn't seem to stop wandering. In the end she had to physically remove herself from the shower, one leg at a time and rinsed the shampoo out in the sink. It was safer.
She didn't put on any clothes after drying her body off with a fluffy towel. Eyes looking at the clock decided that she still had over forty minutes left until she had to get dressed and leave.
Slowly she made her way into the bedroom and smiled at the image of her knackered girlfriend. "Christ, you're so pretty." A yawn shook her body and she sighed afterwards, softly paddling towards Emily. She crawled up on top of her, snuggled into her back and placed a few kisses to her neck, loving to feel her close. "Sleep."
"Mkay..." An exhausted Emily replied, sighing happily at the feeling of her girl on top of her back. She reached back with her right hand, finding Effy's, and then brought it underneath her body to be mashed under the red-head's breast. "Better." She mumbled before her body finally gave in to the sleep it so desperately needed.
Echo moved from her designated bed and stopped right next to where Emily and Effy were laid, looking as if to make sure her charges were okay, then curled up at the foot of the bed, right in front of the door to the bedroom. If anyone tried to get in, they'd meet her first, and they wouldn't like it.
Effy's eyes were closed and she was breathing heavily in sync with Emily when her phone vibrated on the bed next to them. Her arm reached out, automatically silencing Echo, before she slowly untangled herself from her girl, kissing her neck softly a few times.
She grabbed the duvet and pulled it over Emily's almost completely naked body before making way to her wardrobe for something to wear.
The next hours were spent fast.
Uni was a joke and she was silently fuming for going in, should have stayed home. She would have gotten done more than there, she was sure of it. After getting drinks, her refrigerator was empty, she made her way home and smiled when Echo waited for her by the door. Her tail slapping from left to right she waited for Effy to give her the 'go' and greet her.
Only after she put away all the drinks and her bag did Effy nod at the dog, bracing herself. Echo crashed into her, almost throwing her over in the process and nothing she could have done was enough to make Echo stop. "All right, glad you've missed me the two seconds I was gone now get lost, yeah? We're waking Emily."
Echo bounced around in a circle and ran into the bedroom at the mention of the younger twin's name. She sat down, her head even with the mattress and stared at the girl, almost as if she were trying to wake the redhead up just by staring at her.
Emily had kicked the duvet off her, again, she couldn't seem to stay in one place if she was sleeping alone, only if Effy was in the bed with her did she sleep unmoving, usually because she's curled into the brunette's body and there was no way she would let her go.
Blue eyes were dancing when Effy slowly walked into the bedroom. She loved that dog, of course all three were amazing but Echo was hilarious and Effy was glad that the lesbians had decided to take her and not the others.
She shred her clothes, well, her jacket and dress and climbed back into bed, rolling back onto Emily's back and softly kissed her neck. She knew it sucked, having to wake her after only five hours but she needed to. That way Emily had still time to wake up properly, and not hurry to get to the pub. "You awake?" Was mumbled into Emily's skin when Effy's lips ghosted over her neck and shoulder-blades.
"Ef..." The twin moaned as she was slowly pulled from her slumber.
At least she had slept through the worst of her come down and she again reached for Effy's hand to put it under her breast. "Missed you." She said, still mostly asleep, her eyes not even attempting to open.
"You've not even realized I was gone." Chuckled Effy lightly into the warm skin of Emily's back. She was warm, which was really a wonder since she always kicked off all the covers, and she was soft and just so cuddly.
Her left hand ran from Emily's neck, down to her side and softly back up again as her eyes closed to enjoy the moment of peace before life would start again.
"I did..." Emily muttered. "... always know when you're gone." She hummed, her body enjoying the soft touch. "Time to get up, eh?" She said, licking her lips and trying to swallow to rid herself of her dry mouth.
"You've a few minutes." Responded Effy almost automatically, that conversation had taken place countless of times and the answers were out before she could think about them. "I'll be home tonight, but when you're at the pub I've to meet some people. That okay?" Now her hand was almost between the bed and Emily's body, the one that wasn't clutched under Emily's breast, and she let it softly trail up and down her side, loving the goosebumps she felt her fingers leave in their wake. "You're so fucking beautiful."
"Mkay..." She whispered. Although her breathing was still deep, it was becoming less even as the caresses to her skin were starting to wake up parts of her body that she had no control over. "Yeah, that's okay. You still going to pick me up? Or should I get a ride over here?"
"Pick you up." Muttered Effy now with her lips on the highest point of Emily's spine, her eyes still closed. "Maybe be a few minutes late but I'll try not to."
Emily groaned, her arse tensing up into the brunette. Effy had accidentally found that spot, right where her neck met her spine, right between her shoulders.
That spot was seriously like an 'on' switch. She was instantly awake, her eyes flashing open and her hands reaching behind her to grab Effy's hips, pulling them harder into her arse.
A knowing chuckle left Effy's body, radiating into Emily's as she let herself be pulled. "Awake then?" The hand Emily had brought to her chest earlier, like she always did, spread its fingers and twisted until Effy could palm the twin's tit, her kisses and hips' movements in sync with her hand. "You sure? Not too tired?" She teased then and let her tongue glide down Emily's spine, following its path with her lips.
"God yes..." Emily moaned. "Echo, out..." She said to the dog who unhappily padded back out of the room and laid down in the hallway. There was just something that weirded her out when Echo was in the room, staring at them.
The first time it had happened, Emily had been on top of Effy with the girl's fingers buried deep inside her. She had seen the dog out of the corner of her eye, just sat there, tail wagging, her blue eyes just... watching.
Safe to say that the dog frequently got sent out whenever she was at Effy's or hers.
Effy was lowly chuckling into Emily's back, her lips moving lower until her tongue ran a path from one side of the small of Emily's back to the other, along her tail-bone. She moved up again, her hands now both busy caressing Emily's beautiful tits as she held herself up on her elbows, well, and not at all, just laying on top of the girl. "Stay on your tummy, babe, okay?"
She gave a grunt of semi-disapproval, wanting, needing to touch the girl, and being on her stomach didn't allow that to happen. Emily relented though and brought her hands up under the pillow, grasping the under side of it with tightly clenched fists.
The brunette's lower body moved down, so far that she was straddling Emily's left thigh, half her body on the bed, the other on Emily. That way she could still use one hand to play with Emily's tit, just palming it, tugging on the hard nipple every now and then. Moving her lips all over Emily's body, her shoulder-blades, her spine, her sides, Effy's eyes stayed closed as her whole body's rhythm fastened.
She now moved her right hand down, her fingers ghosting over Emily's right side, to the hem of her knickers and back up again. "I love your back."
Emily was nibbling on her bottom lip, having let her eyes close just so she would feel it that much more. "I know... you get all hard off it." The twin said teasingly, groaning when the brunette tugged on her nipple.
With her fingers half on the inside of Emily's knickers Effy nodded, rolling her hips onto the thigh she was straddling. "I do, feel that?" Fingers spread Effy completely moved them inside, cupping Emily's arse before moving further south and down again, the wetness made her groan. "You seem to like it too." She mumbled when her fingertips reached Emily's entrance, softly teasing the area.
"You're dripping." Emily breathed as she felt the heated, wet centre on the back of her thigh. She pushed the toes of her left foot into the bed, lifting the whole leg up slightly, right between Effy's thighs. "I do... I like everything you do... you could fucking just stand there and make me wet."
"I know, I'm your wet dream." Smirked Effy and closed her eyes when the thigh that was clasped between her own made her flood with new wetness. "Raise your hips a bit, babe." Her hand changed its place and moved to the front of Emily's body, still halfway in her knickers as she guided her a bit up.
Emily lifted her hips with a bit of difficulty, no longer able to keep her toes digging into the bed to keep the pressure between Effy's thighs. She took the pillow at her head and put it under her hips. "That okay?" She asked as she brought her hands under her head.
"Uh huh," Smiled Effy.
She loved how well they worked, in bed, and in almost all other aspects. And even if they weren't on the same page with things, somehow it never seemed important enough to fight over it. Sure, they had their fights, who didn't, but they also enjoyed being together. Something, sadly, that many couples tended to forget all too soon.
With the thoughts running through her mind Effy's hand circled Emily's waist and tugged on the knickers, each part, until she could reach for it and place it on the other side of the bed. She then placed the hand on Emily's hip, softly, directing her how to exactly lay as she wanted to have the pillow help her a bit.
It should do, she thought with a grin and went back to work on Emily's back, her left hand never stopping to palm her tit, sometimes softly, sometimes harder, sometimes quickly. She knew that they didn't have that much time, only about an hour until they had to get ready so she pushed her right hand right between Emily's thighs, from behind and moved up.
A moan escaped her throat when she pushed two fingers into her girl, stilling them for a moment. She always did that, whenever she'd enter Emily the first thing she did, was nothing. She'd close her eyes, kiss her, and enjoy the warm feeling. "Good fishing, last night? Met any fit girls?" Effy asked, pushing against her hand so the fingers would be buried deeper in Emily.
Every time when Emily came back from fishing Effy just had the urge to... to remind her that Effy was her girlfriend. Of course there had never been any real cheating, only mild crimes that didn't matter much as Emily had warned her from the beginning about the deals and that was one more reason why she felt the need to make Emily see who belonged to her.
Emily knew that Effy didn't have anything to worry about as far as cheating went, she even knew that Effy knew this. Sometimes the clients would get a bit handsy, but she would always shake them off... leave them wanting more.
That said, Emily would be completely open if Effy asked her, giving her a play-by-play if needed or requested. "Well one of the clients was pretty fit." She began, stopping to groan and tremble when Effy pushed into her, making her cunt throb around the girl's fingers. "She was slightly taller than me, wearing a top that was mostly see-through and a red bra that was barely holding her tits in. Her skirt might as well have been a tube-top with how little.. fuck... how little it covered."
She was rocking her entire body back into Effy's fingers, wanting more than the slow pace she had started off with.
Effy's teeth were now scraping down Emily's spine, the same path she had taken with her tongue and lips before. "Have you danced with her? Was it hot?" While she was asking her questions, like every time, her fingers started a steady, firm pace but not essentially fast. About the same speed someone breaths with, when neither sad, aroused, not terrified.
She swore that her right arm and hand and even her fingers had gained on power and muscles in the past year. How many days she'd had to wear a bandage and cream it because it was sprained. But now, after a year of fucking Emily, she barley felt her arm getting tired after an hour.
Another groan. "Fuck.. Eff..." Emily took a few uneasy breaths before speaking again, her voice a bit lower. "Yeah, I was in front of her, grinding my arse into her, she had her hands on my hips. She tried to kiss my neck but I pulled away and shook my head. She got the message, and let her hands wander over my... my stomach... God baby.."
"Only your stomach, baby?" Effy's breathing was getting irregular too by now. "Can't reach your clit, push your hips into the pillow, okay?" To demonstrate her point Effy's body pressed Emily further into the bed, her clit against the pillow. "God, you feel fucking amazing." And even though she didn't want to, yet, her hand sped up it's powerful thrusts and she moved her whole body into Emily.
Emily started to rock and grind her clit into the pillow and she spread her legs a little further apart to give the brunette more access. "No." She breathed. "... then she got to my tits... for a straight girl she sure had a thing for tits. I gave her another pill and she really couldn't keep her hands off me then, suggested we go to the toilets. I had..." She groaned and swallowed. "... had to think quickly. So I grabbed one of the blokes she came in with, gave him another pill also, and they soon forgot all about me. Pretty sure she gave him head in the VIP lounge."
Effy was laughing into Emily's back, her whole body moving with hers as she kept steadily pumping into her girl. And because the inside of her hand was towards her, not the bed, she twisted her fingers every time she pushed into Emily, her fingers curling. "Anything else? Any blokes trying to shag you?" Orientating herself on Emily's hips, how they moved, Effy tried to keep the same pace, making the girl run faster towards the cliff.
"Course... you saw... what I... was wearing..." Emily answered between puffed out breaths. "Had two of them, one in front, the other behind. You wouldn't imagine what straight men will do to try and get at me, baby." Her hips continued to rock and she reached her left hand between herself and the pillow at her hip, stopping just before her clit. "May I?"
"You looked breath-taking." Agreed Effy and moved her hand, the one still playing with Emily's nipple, down. She cupped the twin's hand, covered it with hers, and pushed it further down until they reached her clit. She pushed her fingers onto Emily's hand, giving her the go as her right hand went faster and faster, in and out, again and again, making beautiful noises as it slid through Emily's wetness. "Yeah, tell me. Where they measuring their dicks, ready to do tricks in their testosterone madness?"
Emily felt that much closer to Effy, just by the girl bringing their hands together to her clit. She didn't waste time and started to circle her nub with two fingers, moaning as her girl started moving faster into her needy cunt. "Oh babe, think bigger..." She paused to take a few breaths. "... told them that they needed to be more comfortable with their sexuality, and that handling another guy's dick wasn't gay..."
Chuckling lowly Effy's lips pressed to the girl's back, her teeth, tongue and lips moving around the area she could reach. "You're so bad." When she doubled her speed, feeling the slight burn in her wrist Effy closed her eyes tightly, now not able to follow Emily's hips any-more as she rammed into her. "Breath-taking." She whispered into the damp skin of Emily's back, her whole body guiding her fingers, going deeper, faster, harder and so much better into her girl. When she felt her clench around her fingers she inserted another finger, never slowing down. "You'll cum, so good, for me. You always do, never with them, always with me. You know why? Because I'm yours and your body craves me, always."
Her teeth were clenched when she doubled her efforts again, now refusing to slide out of Emily. Instead she pushed her hips up, slamming her fingers against Emily's walls, her fingers curling rapidly.
"OH MY FUCKING CHRIST, EFFY..." Emily screamed as the brunette's sensual voice and the curling and pounding inside her cunt sent her over the top. "Keep... going.." She cried out, her hips ceasing to move because she couldn't keep them in time with Effy's thrusts. It took less than thirty seconds for her to hit that peak again, whimpering Effy's name into the sheets until her body completely relaxed, sagging heavily into the bed and pillow.
Effy was breathing heavily, her lips randomly moving across Emily's heated, damp skin as they tried to get back control over their lungs. "Amazing. You're fucking amazing." Was whispered when Effy slowly withdrew her fingers and then brought them to the end of the bed where she had an old blanket, just there for her wiping her fingers clean without having to move much.
"Can I hold you now, baby?" Emily asked, her voice cracking under the strain.
With a smile Effy pushed herself up on her hands, waiting until Emily had turned her body around, laying on her back.
Emily reached her right hand up into Effy's hair, pulling their lips together sensually as her left slipped between their bodies. She dragged one finger up and down Effy's moist clit, gently teasing the swollen nub. "You're amazing baby."
"I am." Grinned Effy, her nose crinkling when she kissed Emily a bit harder, bringing one of her hands to the back of the twin's head. Her hips were pushing down, just wanting Emily to do something, not tease her forever and she prayed that Emily was not in one of those moods. "But you're too, so fucking amazing."
"Straddle me." Emily said sternly into the brunette's lips. She had planned on slowly bringing the girl up, but there was a fire in her belly that she simply couldn't deny.
"Where?" Smirked Effy but moved her legs apart, settling on Emily's stomach with her shins on the bed. "Like that?" Was asked against Emily's addictive lips, believing that it wasn't exactly what Emily had in mind.
"That works too." Emily whispered, sliding her fingers more insistently against the brunette's clit. She didn't spend much time there, but enough to know how freaking drenched her girl was. "Brilliant." She muttered as she reached a little further and pushed two fingers into Effy.
Emily bent her knees, putting her feet flat on the mattress. "Sit up straight, lean back on my legs, and fuck yourself on my fingers." The twin said, her voice low and her eyes blazing. "I want to watch you cum on my fingers."
With a chuckle and a head-shake Effy positioned herself just like Emily had ordered her to, another wave of desire shaking her body at the authoritative tone in her girl's voice. "That turn you on?" She groaned, reaching down to help steady Emily's hand as she slowly tried to find the perfect angle so the fingers wouldn't slip.
After a few moments she found it, pushing herself up and and back down with the help of her thighs, pumping her body onto Emily's fingers. Her blue eyes, so on fire, were glued to Emily's as she parted her lips and let out soft puffs of air.
Emily slipped another finger in, her gaze varying between Effy's eyes and cunt. The twin herself sat up a bit, leaning back on her right hand so she could get a better view and also be able to move her hips up and down slightly. "Yeah baby, it does... so fucking beautiful to see and feel your pussy swallowing my fingers." Effy groaned, her hips moving harder onto the beautifully talented fingers inside of her.
"You like that, don't you baby? Feeling me inside you, can't help yourself, can you? Can't control yourself now that I'm filling your sweet cunt up."
"It's... uh... it's so fucking... god... Em..." Blue eyes closed and Effy's head was thrown back, resting atop of Emily's knees as she slammed down on her. She felt sweat form on her forehead, on her neck, and she heard Emily's breathing, heard her fingers, heard her own heartbeat. It was almost too much and so fucking hot that her body was trembling. "I love it when you... make... make me... do things..." A groan shook her body, again and she was gripping Emily's wrist, trying to get inside of herself deeper.
Emily changed the angle of her wrist so she could effectively curl into the brunette's wet cavern. "That's it baby, God you feel amazing wrapped around my fingers. Don't stop those hips, Eff." Emily said erotically as her hips pushed up into her hand to give more power behind it.
Effy's head thrashed from side to side before she remembered that she had the power over this. The curling of Emily's fingers was giving her goosebumps, everywhere, and the ache in her cunt wouldn't stop so she raised her hips and then slammed them back down, waiting for a cry of pain and when it didn't come, she did it again and again until all she could do was hold her breath and gasp from time to time.
Emily watched in lustful fascination. Effy was so fucking beautiful, the way her body moved, fluidly, the way she put her head back from time to time as she climbed higher, and the way that Effy craved her as much as Emily wanted the brunette. "Breathe." Emily commanded as she watched everything.
It was when she could feel the cunt around her fingers start to tighten that she snapped brown eyes up to Effy's beautifully magnificent pools. "Look at me."
When she did, Effy's whole body tensed and she stopped moving in mid-air, pressing her hips upwards and her feet into the bed. A small scream left her body, shaking its motionless form from head to toe and she bit so hard on her lips she thought she'd break the skin.
When Effy's hips and, well her whole freaking body, froze, the twin used her hips to continue to push up into her lover's body. Brown orbs never left the azure gaze, locked on to one another, as Emily helped Effy through her climax. "Feel me, baby." She whispered.
"Oh godddd..." Pushed Effy, not moving at all as she let Emily push into her, making it all so much more intense. It was like she felt everything twice as much, amplified and her breaths were spitting out noises she couldn't even think of having ever made before Emily. "So... good... so... goood... fuck..." Her eyes wanted to close, she felt her body start burning up again, how was that possible?...so she flashed her eyes to Emily's. Begging.
Only problem was... she'd never ask for things.
Emily nodded her head, feeling the request.
She brought her right hand around from behind her, keeping herself suspended in the air by the strength in her abdomen alone. Her hand went to the back of Effy's head and brought their lips together gently. Her stomach muscles relaxed and she pulled the brunette back on top of her as the twin's back hit the mattress once again.
Effy clung to Emily, her hips not pumping up and down any-more but rotating as they shared breathless making kisses. "You... I... Uh Em." She couldn't even try and form sentences any-more, not when her body was on fire, everything Emily did, said, touched was burning her from the inside, making it never enough, making her hungry, making her want more. So much more.
Emily's hips moved up, still pushing her fingers into Effy's core, her palm grinding into the girl's clit. "Say it baby." The twin gently urged into the brunette's mouth.
"You are perfect..." Her hips moved faster, her face burying itself in the crook of Emily's neck. "Live with me... and... uh... butnow..." She couldn't. Her body was trembling and she pushed forwards, making her clit rub against Emily's palm while she was so beautifully filling her. "Harder."
"Are you asking me..." She said gently, the movements of her fingers, hips, and palm never slowing between the brunette's legs.
"No." Growled Effy and dug her teeth into Emily's flesh, her shoulder, her neck, sucking on it, marking her. "I don't ask." And her body went into over-drive, just when she realized when Emily would finally move in.
She would need to ask her.
Her hips were moving wildly, catapulting her towards her next orgasm as she let her mouth attached to as much of Emily's neck as she could. Fingers fiddling until they reached her tits, softly tugging and palming and pinching and squeezing while Effy shuddered.
Emily didn't respond, only kept pushing harder, as was requested moments before.
Effy's body was going wild, her mouth biting possessively into her skin, claiming the twin as hers. Emily's own lips kissed and sucked gently on Effy's shoulder as the girl above her trembled almost violently.
And when she came undone, so wholly and hard, Effy had to bite into Emily's shoulder to not scream out how much she loved her. The hips were slowing down, her breathing slowed down, her teeth loosened their bite and her heart kept hammering in her chest like it wanted to punch into Emily's.
Emily slowed down, until she stopped moving completely, except for her right hand, which had moved from Effy's brown locks and was moving soothingly up and down the girl's back. "It's outer worldly when you cum for me like that, Eff. Truly one of the seven wonders of the world. My favourite wonder."
A lazy smile played on the brunette's lips when she raised her head, coming out of her hiding. Her eyes were dark and too open, like always after a moment like this, and she reached up to stroke Emily's cheek, so softly. "Beautiful."
"We are." Emily wholly agreed.
She gently pulled out of Effy's centre and then twisted to the side. When Effy hit the bed next to her, both of them on their sides facing one another, the twin pulled the girl in by her hip and slipped her other arm under Effy's neck.
The redhead kissed her girl, so softly, and tenderly, and with so much fucking emotion that she was sure they were about to turn into a supernova and simply explode into the atmosphere.
Just when Effy had locked Emily's leg around her hip, bringing her closer and closer she felt the freaking alarm on her phone vibrate the whole bed. Or so it seemed.
She groaned, not very happy about the fact. "Bunk off. Naomi can do your shift." But then she remembered that Naomi had the lesbians' car, which meant, if she worked, Effy would have to get Katie anyway and all of it would have been for nothing.
And she had to meet some people.
And Emily had to work, well not really... but she was supposed to. "I'd love to have you here."
Emily chuckled and kissed the tip of Effy's nose. "You have things to do baby, and I have a job to pretend to need to survive." She said with a small smile. "I'd love to be here, but it's not the right time, yet." She gently explained.
She was fairly certain that Effy understood what was holding her back, or at least knew what she needed to do in order for the twin to move in. Just one question, just Effy asking her to... that would be all it took.
"I know but it's stupid. We see each other what, five hours a day? Which are spent asleep by one of us, most times. Rushing from A to Z, just taking care of things and it would be easier if you were here. Or we could get another place if you don't like it here. No way I'm moving into a house though, not gonna do that." She stopped the endless rambling, knowing fully well that a few things had to settle before this ever happened.
She had to stop being the girlfriend without a girlfriend.
And she'd have to ask, she'd have to show Emily that she really wanted it. Fully.
Moments like this were always the hardest. But Effy knew that if she did all that, she'd probably have one panic attack after the other when the move would come up. It was stupid and made her angry and she knew that every other girl, bloke, person would have kicked her arse and thrown her to lions by now.
Not Emily though.
She knew that in the end, no matter what happened, where she'd been, Effy would always crawl into bed with her. Bring her coffee, force her to eat when she couldn't even smell food and practically be glued to her side.
"It's just... I hate that I'm being difficult."
"Eff." Emily said gently, trying to calm the girl down just by using the soft tone of her voice and the sweeping caress of her fingertips along Effy's back. "I love your place, and I honestly can't wait to be here with you, but we are not ready for it yet." Yes, she said 'we', not 'you' or 'I', but that both of them aren't ready. "You're not difficult, not to me. Now Naomi... that bitch is difficult as shit." She said with a grin. "I don't know how Katie stands her sometimes."
She wanted to lighten the mood, serious talks always seemed to bring Effy down, and it clawed at Emily's heart strings.
"That's what I keep telling Katie; she could do much better." Smirked Effy, gladly taking the out she was handed.
Emily chuckled as she felt the girl in her arms relax, but the damn alarm wouldn't relent.
"God, I love the way you are. Just perfect." The alarm kept annoying them and Effy reluctantly rolled out of bed, stretching before reaching for Emily. "Come on, you've to eat something."
She smiled lightly at the brunette, watching her as she got up. She sighed and let her hand be picked up by Effy. "Okay, wifey, you cooking me something? Because I need to take a quick shower."
"Hurry, I need one too and I meant at the pub. Like I'd be cooking. Kitchen's just for drinks, babe." Smirked Effy and planted her hands on Emily's arse, yanking her into herself. "You've a fabulous arse."
"I've a fabulous everything." Emily countered, thrusting her hips forward, pecking Effy's lips, and turning around with a cheeky wave, walking quickly into the bathroom.
While laughing lightly, Effy made her way to the kitchen, waving at Echo who was oogling her like she wanted to jump up and lick her face again. "No." She warned, seeing how the dog was practically bouncing on its sitting arse, at least listening. "I'm naked. Stay away."
And when Echo whined, huge blue/grey eyes making Effy melt, the brunette huffed and walked back into the bedroom, putting on one of the dresses scattered across her floor. "I can't believe that they think you're an brilliantly trained dog." She mumbled when she leaned down to scratch both ears of Echo, making the tail hammer from and to the ground like she was punishing the carpet for something. "You did good. Stayed out, didn't you? Lovely, lovely, lovely tykes."
Effy went then into the kitchen and made an excited dog sit before nodding and placing a peace of liver on her left hand. 'Why can't I feed her from my right hand?'
'Because every arse would, and she'd be poisoned. She wont eat it, unless you put it on your left hand and show it to her, three times.' Naomi'd had once explained, eyeing Effy like she were a retarded something. 'Oh, right. Because that's something every dog needs to do.'
'Yes, if I don't want twats killing her, then yes.' And from there on it was her mission to make Echo eat out of her right hand, or even from her left one after just holding it under her face but she wouldn't. No matter how bloody, disgustingly yummy it seemed for Echo, she wouldn't touch it.
Effy waited on the counter for Emily, drinking water and smoking as she tried to think of an outfit that'd secure her next deal.
The shower felt good, great even, the water pounding down against her skin, waking her up, her brain. Her body had, so beautifully, been woken up by her Effy. The twin loved it when Effy woke her up like that, the only thing that would make it better, would be if Effy would take her in her mouth and tease her awake by eating her out.
She could live without that, but she did sometimes miss it. It was the worst when Effy would fucking blow on her clit, like she had when Emily had mouth raped the brunette.
She'd been good though, since then, hadn't once tried to pull Effy's face between her legs. Every once in a while she'd touch on the subject, probably only two or three times in the year they'd been... well... them.
Emily got out of the shower and called out the door. "Shower's free." She slipped into a pair of knickers and a bra and went about putting on some make-up and slicking her hair back into a tight pony-tail, using ample amounts of hairspray to make it stay down so there'd be no fly-aways. It always helped for her to not have to worry about her hair getting in the way at the bar, and having a helmet of hairspray did that just fine.
Effy jumped off the counter and walked through the sitting-room to the bathroom, seeing Emily freshly dressed and styled. Without any chance of resisting she pulled her softly into her body and then pushed them both into the wall, kissing the twin hungrily. "You look and smell so fucking good." She mumbled between kisses.
"Effy..." Emily warned, her voice already shaking from the flame of lust that shot through her. "... if you don't let go, I'm going to fuck you through the shower wall... you'll miss your appointment, and I'll not make it to work."
"Not a really good threat babe, sounds more like a fucking gift and doesn't make me want to stop. At all." Was Effy's response when her lips attacked the twin's neck, her hands roaming her body like it'd disappear if she stopped moving over it.
Emily growled, her eyes blazing as she gripped both of Effy's wrists, holding them behind her back. "Get in the shower." She said. "... we will continue this when I'm off work and back here, or at mine, either works for me."
Blue eyes narrowed and Effy took a few steps back, shaking off Emily's hands. "Won't be in the mood." And then she marched into the bathroom, standing under the hot water which made her calm down just as fast as she had just exploded.
Her shower was quickly over, she had washed her hair earlier so just washing herself wasn't really taking up much time. And not fifteen minutes later she came out of the bathroom, walking her naked self into the bedroom to get some clothes before returning to the bathroom.
She decided on jeans, a shirt, old trainers and only used mascara as her make-up choice for the day. Stared at herself in the mirror and wondered how it could be that clothes and make up could make you seem like you were a whole different person. "Huh. What you think, Echo?"
The dog came running, her tail bouncing as she jumped up against Effy, her head higher than the brunette's. "Glad you like it."
Emily sighed and went into the bedroom, looking around for her usual pile of clothes that were usually sat on top of Effy's dresser. But they weren't there. She checked on the side of it, still nothing. The twin even looked under the bed and the shelf in the closet. She still came up empty. "Eff? Where are my clothes?"
"Second drawer, just... don't say anything okay? It always looks messy so it's just a smart decision to put them in a drawer." Yelled Effy, her eyes still glued to the full-length mirror. "What you think Echo? Think I'll turn lesbian heads today?" Was her question, more mumbled and sheepishly asked than anything else.
Her prey were blokes. She knew how to get them to do what she wanted... but girls?
Not if they weren't head over heels in love with her. And those weren't. They had no idea who she was and apparently they had a shit-load of money to spent on drugs.
Emily's eyebrows lifted nearly into her hairline and she nodded to herself as she opened the drawer and pulled out a pair of jeans and a band t-shirt from one of the festivals she had gone to a year or two before. She slipped into her chucks after putting on socks and then sighed a little bit, hearing Effy muttering to Echo.
The twin left the bedroom and walked back to the bathroom, leaning casually on the door-frame as her eyes looked up and down Effy's body. "Whoa babe, should I be worried who you're meeting with you dressed like that?"
"Lesbians." Declared Effy and turned around, her arms full of colourful bracelets, a hat on top of her hair and less make up than on any other moment in her life. She wore her boots, they seemed to fit the cliché, and looked at Emily, a bit worriedly. "Think they'll love me?"
"Are you trying to catch butches, studs, femmes, or lipsticks?" Emily asked, her lips curling up slightly. She'd never seen the girl looking anything close to nervous or frazzled, and Effy could almost fit into both of those categories at this moment.
"Lesbians, Em. No need to get all defensive and insult them." Effy rolled her eyes and turned back to the mirror, frowning at herself and wondering what she was missing. She couldn't cut her hair, could she, and Emily was a proper lesbian. With longish hair, so no, it wasn't it.
"Those are all types of lesbians, love, it's not an insult. Lose the hat, first of all, unless you have a fedora, you don't have the style for a hat." Emily pushed off of the door-frame with her shoulder and walked up to her girl. "Do you want my help? You look like you're confused, your sense of style, I mean."
"What's the type you, Naomi and Katie are? You know, not like, Barbies but not men either? They're like that." Mumbled Effy a bit embarrassingly, nodding to Emily when she offered her help.
"Well Katie is a lipstick, I'd say Naomi and I are more femme, but not quite girly enough to be lipsticks." Emily leaned in and kissed Effy's forehead, grasping the girl's hand and pulling her into the bedroom.
Emily let go of Effy once they were through the threshold, with Echo following along behind her, sitting at her feet. She absently scratched behind the canine's ears whilst looking in the closet. "You don't want to look like a cliché babe, they'll see right through your façade." She said absently, pushing hanger after hanger to the side.
She couldn't seem to find anything that didn't scream out 'straight girl' in Effy's closet. Emily smirked to herself and opened up the second drawer, pulling out a shirt similar to the one she had on, just a beat up band shirt. "Here, put that on."
"But...it's all wrinkly and old and with holes." Exclaimed Effy when she took the shirt into her hands, inspecting it. "Am I supposed to run around with hole so they see my tit?" The question was asked almost too innocently to be real but it was, Effy was a fish out of water. "Being with a girl for over a year and I still have to pretend to be a lesbian. How is that fair? If they knew what my fucking fingers do, every day they'd buy everything I have." With a sigh she pulled the shirt she had on, off and took the one Emily had chosen. It was big. It didn't fit. She assumed it wasn't supposed to fit.
"Okay?"
Emily chuckled to herself and then bit down on her lip. "It's um... it's kind of hot seeing you in my clothes." She said deeply. She blew out a breath and turned back around to her clothes in the drawer, pulling out a holey pair of jeans that would be a little lose on Effy, but the legs were long enough that they would bunch a bit over her shoes. "Here, and those... take your boots off, put on some Chucks."
"But my boots scream gay! People say so!"
"They scream out 'butch'... which you are not." Emily countered with her brows raised.
"Oh... okay." Effy looked into Emily's eyes, grimacing. "You've any chuck's to spare? I don't really have anything than boots."
Emily smiled gently and took the Chucks off her own feet, her favourite pair, and then grabbed some Vans to slip into. "You can take some of those bracelets off too, babe. I know you're going for a rainbow, but it looks like rainbow vomit."
When she took them off Effy's eyes narrowed. "You're doing this on purpose. I don't look gay, I look normal."
"Exactly, you don't need to wear a bunch of rainbows, Eff. Of course you can, but it will look like you're trying too hard." Emily explained. "Here, I'll give you a more subtle rainbow." Emily said softly, going into her bag, the side pocket, and pulled out two items.
The first was a simple hemp choker that had six beads, one for every colour of the rainbow, which would sit right above the girl's collarbones. The second was a matching bracelet. She affixed the necklace around Effy's neck, adjusting it so the small rainbow beads were right in the centre of the brunette's neck, and then pulled the rest of the bangles off Effy's arms and put on the simple bracelet. She took a few steps back then and looked appreciatively at her girl. "What do you think?"
"I don't know, would you do me if you met me somewhere?" Questioned Effy when she looked into the mirror, eyeing her arse in the jeans. Weird jeans. Lose and tight. And the chucks, she felt like walking bare-food, there was no sole, at all.
She'd surely run into a nail.
Emily was too busy letting her eyes roam over Effy's body to realize she had been asked a question. Her tongue slipped through her lips to wet them before she began chewing on the bottom one. "Hmmmm?" She asked, her darkened eyes looking up to Effy's face.
"Would. You. Do. Me. ?" Emphasized Effy with a worried expression, her arms crossed.
"I want to do you now." Emily blurted out.
"Yeah? Too bad, no time. Remember?" Effy's phone was pushed into Emily's hands and she looked at her expectantly. "Shoot me. Need a photo, you're biased."
Emily's face fell slightly, but she took the mobile anyway. She held it up and got Effy's entire body into the screen, then snapped the photo. She handed it back and then left the room. "Where is this at, anyway?" The twin didn't wait for a reply before she started speaking again. "If you really want to add to it, if you can, you should bring Echo."
Effy rolled her eyes and followed Emily, looking at Echo so she'd follow, which she did, happily. She reached the twin in the sitting-room and wrapped her arms around her waist from behind, placing small kisses on her neck. "What's wrong? You never ask where I'm going."
"I um... I'm just feeling a bit..." Emily sighed and turned around. "It's one thing if you go fishing for blokes, I get it, you need it sometimes. But... you're not going for guys this time. I'm just..." She took in a deep breath. "... I'm being absurdly nervous for some reason."
"Okay." Nodded Effy and put both her hands on Emily's waist, her expression blank. "What do you think happens when I go fishing? You think I actually shag everyone I fish?" She asked, her voice gentle and curious.
She had never thought about that, or even talked with Emily about it. There had never been the need to.
"No, I don't, but I've given you that option with blokes. I don't know if I could give you that option with another girl, Eff." Emily couldn't look at the girl, hating that she was feeling so unsure. Maybe she was just overly emotional because she was going to start her period, yeah, that had to be it... even though it wasn't for another week.
"I didn't think that there were exceptions in the agreement." Sighed Effy with wide eyes. "Why didn't you clarify it before?"
"I didn't realize it was even an option." Emily said quietly. She took a quick, deep breath and let it go out through her nose.
"What, me being with a girl? Em, I was with girls before you. I've had a girlfriend, I've fucked girls." Whispered Effy with an ill feeling in her stomach.
Was everything, now, going to shutter because of an agreement that had made them breathe easier? Or was it only her who was breathing easier? "You knew that."
"I know you have, before me. I just didn't think that while we've been... us... that..." She shook her head. "It's fine. Can't pick and choose based on gender." She mumbled, more to herself than to the brunette. Emily turned from Effy to grab a hoodie, slipping it over her head and pulling the hood up. "We should get going so we're not late."
"No. Tell me what's wrong."
"God, I feel like Katie with all her damn insecurities." Emily grumbled to herself before turning around. "I just didn't think that girls were on the menu, since you had me. It was... it was my mistake."
Effy's brows furrowed when she pulled Emily back into her arms, holding her close by her hips. "Why is that a problem?"
Emily's head shook and she contemplated her next words carefully, looking at the rainbow beads on her necklace that were hugging Effy's neck. Emily spoke softly, not needing to speak above a whisper for the girl in front of her to be able to hear her. "Naomi said it best... I'm your girlfriend, but you're not mine."
"No. I'm your girlfriend, you're not mine." Corrected Effy with a frown. "You don't shag others when you have a girlfriend. That's what she said. But doesn't matter now, you knew that Emily. I just... where is this coming from?" She kept her voice soft even though her insides were screaming but seeing Emily this... this... small just made her heart ache.
Emily nodded, either way, they weren't fully committed to each other.
That was the other reason she wouldn't give up her flat, and maybe that was why she still hadn't told Effy she loved her, not in those words at least. It would totally break her to come home and see Effy with someone else.
She lifted her hands up to Effy's cheeks, her eyes full of worry that she'd gone and fucked it up. She couldn't even speak, every time she tried it was like her voice-box had been turned off.
"Em? We're okay, aren't we?" Panic started to rise in Effy, not enough to send her into a attack, not a bit, but it felt heavy on her heart as she gripped Emily's hips harder, refusing to let go.
Emily nodded, even though her heart felt like it was about to explode. She leaned in and gently placed her lips to Effy's, simply brushing them together for a moment before putting a bit more pressure. She felt the tension in her back and shoulders start to relax as she let Effy completely wash everything else away.
The way Emily was kissing her, putting everything she had into the kiss made Effy pull away. She was overwhelmed. Everything was just... it was too much. "I don't want you to be sad, Em. What can I do so it'll be more bearable for you? A way you could live with it?"
"I don't know, my mind is all befuddled." Emily said, her eyes searching the amazingly blue ones in front of her. "We've got to go though, I'm already going to be late, and I don't know when your... your... lesbian thing... is set to start."
She had tried.
With a nod Effy silently moved her hand and Echo jumped up, so enthusiastic. "Okay. But Em, I don't get it. I don't understand it, you know? Where this is suddenly coming from." Said Effy, just not knowing what to do about this when they made their way out of the flat and to the car. "I thought we're happy. Are you not happy?"
