"So Naomi, nice seeing you huh?"
For some reason these last few words that Emily said before she went out made Naomi feel gloomy for the rest of the evening.
In general, Ian has been sweet for the most part of the early evening and throughout dinner. When he invited her at his place despite their first date out, Naomi thought why not as he seems like a really cool guy. And she really would need someone to show her the ropes at this Uni as she has been late in enrolling.
She was still having quite a good time when he left her there at the living room to 'sort things out' at his room or something like that to which she already knows what Ian might be planning. She actually did not know why she said yes in the first place, maybe its because she just don't want to go back to her place alone at the moment.
But seeing Emily, being actually there are at the same room as her, looking at those brown eyes again, has changed all that. To say that she was shock was a huge understatement. She has never expected to see her again. Last time she heard, and yes she was still curious about her even after all those months, is that Emily will be going a little bit far out of the country for her Uni so she did not expect to bump into her or even be in the same school as her.
When she turned and saw her there smiling at JJ, Naomi has to blink to make sure she was not seeing things. Now, of course, she already knew that Emily was cute with her awkwardness towards her when they were in college. The way that Emily will shyly smile when Naomi goes out of her way and flirt with her. And the way that Emily crinkles her nose when she laughs at something that Naomi said or her forehead creases when she focuses her attention to what Naomi is saying. But the Emily she has just seen right now is completely different. They way she talks, the way she laugh, everything about her shows, something different, Naomi has not understood what it was earlier until now… She knows that what she saw is a confident Emily. There was no more of the awkward and shy Emily she has known from College. At first Naomi thought, that Emily might have already forgotten her as Naomi has not seen any sign of recognition when Emily looked at her earlier. One thing that did not change though is that Emily's face is still as beautiful as she remembered, and even more. Emily is gorgeous! And Naomi was not able to tear her eyes from her throughout her conversation with Ian and for some reason, Naomi hoped that Emily still wants her. She just don't know yet why she thought of that though after all these years.
*************************
"What?!! How could you ever think that I have fallen for you E-mi-ly?" Naomi said emphasizing on each of Emily's name as she said it. The event that will be unfolding is not what Naomi has planned but Emily was making it difficult for her, what with Emily asking for Naomi to defend her in front of Naomi's friends. She has a reputation you know so as much as she was hoping to win her bet silently she has no choice but to out it now as her friends are already expecting her to do it.
Naomi has seen Emily's eyes turned from shock to confused and then turned sad and tears started to appear. She instantly felt guilty at what she has done and about to do, but she has no choice right? I mean, she is Naomi for fucks sake, she never cared! And so swallowing the guilt that had risen she tried not to watch her in the eyes as she continued the plan.
"Emily you're gay but I am not! Honestly, it was fun at first having your attention following me wherever I am… I--".
"yeah… Like a puppy!", interrupted one of Naomi's friends and the group burst out laughing.
Emily looked at her, hurt in her eyes, realizing that not only did Naomi, made fun of her, but worst, all her friends knows. It dawn to Emily that, all of them might be laughing at her behind her back. All those times that she thought that she was the happiest person on earth because Naomi makes time for her, all those a lie, all those just to make fun of her, all those to just show how stupid she is and how great a fucking actress Naomi is. And worst, everybody now knows that she Emily Fitch is totally helplessly in love with Naomi, and that yes, she is gay. She does not know, how Katie, will accept this. Her family! What will they say? For a second, Emily thinks that she saw signs of guilt in Naomi's eyes but before she even blink, Naomi joined in on the laughter of her friends.
When Naomi turned, she saw Emily with tears on her eyes as she starts to run. She wants to follow her but her feet would not budge and she had never been more angrier at herself than her not being able to do anything for her, if not for a lover but for a friend, because really, Emily has genuinely been her friend in those short weeks despite all those charades she planned.
******************************************
"Naomi, hey… "
Naomi blink and she saw Ian waving his hand in front of her with a confused look on his face.
"Uh, sorry I must have spaced out…" and as she saw his face from confusion to anger and then frustration, it suddenly dawned on her that they are in his room, her buttons half done. Fuck! They were kissing and she just spaced out?! And for what? For thoughts of Emily from years ago? Great, so much for someone to show her the ropes in Uni. There is no greater insult than to spaced out while someone is kissing you. She has to explain fast and Naomi thought, "Fuck Naomi, think!".
"Sorry Ian, there is such a lot of things that I still have to sort out from home and I was quite tired from all the activities I have to do today, I guess.", and then she gave him her most sorry look that she can come up with.
Naomi can see that Ian was not pleased with her answer and she heard the low growl he let out before having a deep breath and said, "It's ok Naomi. If you want you can just stay here tonight, we don't need to do anything besides it's already late for you to walk home…And I don't want to go out anymore…"
Naomi is indeed knackered making the offer quite tempting. She looked at the clock on his bedside table and to his face. Although he looked pissed, well he has the right to be, he seemed to genuinely want her to just rest. She took a deep breath before answering.
"Ok. Thanks Ian, and I am really sorry, I'll just make it up to you ok?", Naomi replied as she smiled suggestively and wink to which Ian beamed and said, "I will count on that".
*********************************************
An hour later, Ian's body started to relax and Naomi heard him start to snore which just means that he has at last fallen to sleep. Ian has still insisted for them to hug and earlier he was actually throwing her kisses at her nape, at her shoulder blades, and eventhough most of the times she must have already gave in to those type of touches, but surprisingly not tonight.
She looked at the clock again, another 30minutes has left but still sleep is being difficult. She gave up and decided to stand up and maybe get a drink or something.
Naomi tiptoed her way downstairs careful not to wake anyone up and went to the kitchen to check on the fridge for some water or anything that she can drink. She was just about to go back up when suddenly she heard the door locked being turned. It suddenly hit her that Emily has not yet come back and it must be her opening the door!
Naomi felt her heart do a skip and she immediately went back to the kitchen as she still does not know what to say to her but after a few seconds decided against it as she knows that it will be ridiculous to avoid it.
As she turned, she stopped on her tracks though because there up against the door is Emily and her date. The girl Emily is with, Lia as Naomi remembered, was moaning while Emily is kissing her neck and grinding her hips against her date.
"Fuck Emily, please, I want you… I'm tired of teasing, plea—Ohh!", Lia almost shouted as Emily has suddenly inserted her fingers at the waistband of her knickers and directly touched her center.
After what felt like minutes of watching this scene, Naomi seems to snapped out of it and quickly went back to the kitchen. She still hears Lia moan more as to whatever is Emily doing to her now. And then she heard, Emily's all too familiar voice, now deep and husky with lust.
"Bedroom…"
And then she heard the two of them hurriedly went up the stairs but not without the occasional things that Emily might be doing because Naomi can hear them pause and Lia continue to either moan or say "fuck", or "oh god", or "please".
For no reason why, Naomi felt her heart clench everytime she hears these words being said by Lia that she even went to the point of covering her ears with her hands just so she would not hear anything anymore. She find it difficult to breath after seeing Emily being intimate with another girl and she scolded herself in feeling that way.
"What the fuck Naomi? Why do you care anyway?!! You are not jealous right??! You cant be!", Naomi whispered to herself. And then she rested her back on the wall and slides down to sit because for whatever reason it is she suddenly felt weak… And then after a few minutes of just sitting and having deep breaths, she speak out loud, "Fuck, am I jealous?!"
