A/N: my Third installment.. Though, I think it's quite a little short. I am trying to do update faster. *grins*
Disclaimer: I don't own Skins.
"Ugh.. fuck sake".. God, I think I feel my head being torn apart. Fucking hang over. I rollover and felt something soft beside me, and I blinked a few times because my eyes are still blurry. As my eyes starts to focus, I realize I am in my bed and the soft thing besides me is actually a her. I am in bed with Lia. Wow! I must have drank a lot last night but definitely not that enough to prevent Lia from going home with me. This thought made me grin, but then my grin dropped as I remember the OTHER things that happened last night that made me drank more vodka than I should have drank when I am on a date.
"Fucks sake why does she have to be here?! Of all the fucking schools, she is here", I whispered covering my face with one hand.
I felt Lia starts to stir beside me and I turned to look at her. She has her lips slighty open and has some frisk of her hair covering her face. Lia is really beautiful and I should feel lucky and have a whooping "yes" with a jump that I am able to get her into my bed. Despite the initial awkwardness on her side as we started to undress and on the first time I have touched her, she became braver later on and was even the one to initiate it in the early morning hours. Even my groggy mind in that early hour cannot resist her advances and so here I am, still in bed with a fucking headache from all the drinks and the lack of sleep.
I sighed again and then I carefully pulled out my hand which is suddenly feeling numb at the moment because Lia's head is resting on it.
I grab an oversize shirt and then my ladies boxer shorts and carefully opened the door thinking of washing my face and then maybe fixing breakfast for Lia and me. I turned around watching Lia as I carefully moved outside and then closed the door back. I went first for the bathroom as I can already taste my raging morning breath. After brushing and washing my face I feel better already and then went to open the door thinking of making breakfast in bed instead. Yep that would definitely make Lia's day. Awesome sex plus breakfast in bed and I would be totally tatooed in her mind. I chuckled at this thought but then I felt my throat gone dry as I raised my eyes and suddenly fall on blue eyes that I have not yet forgotten even after all those years.
Why the fuck is she still here?! Isn't it like late already? Dammit now this is awkward. I saw Naomi starts to fidget and lowered her eyes, great, dont tell me she knows how to be nervous now and in front of me of all people.
"Hi", I said matter of factly.
"Uhm.. Hi. Sorry did I startle you?"
What? Did I hear it wrong? Sorry? Is that what she said? Wow, people do change right? But still it does not change the fact that she has been a terrible bitch to her when they were in college and still does not change the fact that she made fun of me, hurt me, and and... ok ok.. I should stop or else I might end up loosing my cool and she would think that she still has an effect on me. I have decided last night that I would not give her that satisfaction anymore. So I started to speak,
"A little maybe..", giving her the most realistic grin that I could come up with. "Never heared anybody got out... So.., rough night last night?", I said with a matching raise of my eyebrows to show her that I am teasing.
She gave me a slight smile and just shrug her shoulders.
What is wrong with her? Where are the snide remarks? Was she not always the one having her thoughts voice out even when back to the time that I THOUGHT we were together?
"So..", I tilted my head to one side as I look at her. "bathroom is free, is it not the reason why you are waiting here?" I smiled again and was not able to stop my eyes from wandering from her face down and up again, slightly pausing on her lips, and then back to her eyes. I saw her notice the way I look. Shit! So much for not giving her the satisfaction of me still being affected by her.
But then I saw her starts to blush and then looked down. Heeey... That I did not expect. Is she not like straight? Right? And like, is she not the one who declared that she is not in any way WILL BE fucking interested in me? Ok, I have to get out of here because everything is just getting weirder at the moment.
"Well then, I better go downstairs, Lia will be up any minute now.", and then I went past her and starts to go down the stairs but then I stopped and turned, well she is still there looking at me. Was she checking me out or what? Fuck, might be the hang-over remnants I am seeing things. Anyway being a nice person that I am, I asked, "Do you want breakfast? I can fix more for both you and Ian if you want, though I know Ian is not much into breakfast"
"No, uhm.. It's ok. I was actually planning to leave after washing up"
"Ok then, up to you", and then I turned around again but then I heard her call my name so I stopped and look at her again.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks"
I frowned, "For?"
"I mean, well, you offering breakfast."
She is really weird you know. So I cant help but ask, "Are you ok?"
"Yeah.. yes I am ok.", she smiled though a little bit shaky.
I wonder what's wrong with her. Did Ian made it rough for her last night that she banged her head on his headboard? or something like that? Ugh, dont want to visualize those, so I look at her intently and then said, "No problem." And then I turned back again, and went down the stairs faster this time, but when at last I was down, I heard her call my name again. So I looked up to see her standing at the top of the stairs, looking down. And by the way, I just have to say that my view, is MORE than ok. What with Naomi wearing a short skirt, who would not be ok? But heck, shake your thoughts Emily, this is Naomi, remember? I scolded myself.
I stared at her but she seems to be struggling to say something.
"What is it?", I asked and placed a little impatience tone in my voice so that she stops being weird.
"Uhm.. I.. Well, I did not expect you to be here.. I mean same school just like before.. and.. well I think JJ mentioned that.. well, there are classes where we both are in?..," she smiled.. "Felt like old times eh?", she continued looking at me intently.
Why is she even stammering? And what did she say? Old Times? Fuck's sake dont want to go back to that 'Old Times' hell part of my life. So, I put up a chuckle and said, "Definitely not old times my dear", making a quote symbol gesture with my fingers on the old times part, "Id like to believe that I have grown up and stop making stupid mistakes..At least, I try to,", then I laughed. Well, I said that to show her that what ever happened at the past I have no care anymore but put in a laugh so as not to make things looks serious, "but yeah.. it is nice to be back here in Bristol, Katie was constantly grinding me each day for me to sign up here, so I basically have a choice of either being away but being constantly nagged or just be here just so to have peace, at least now that I live in a flat..", I grinned at her and added, "..and besides Bristol is fun.."
I saw Naomi slightly frowned at the part when I said 'stupid mistakes' and she inhaled deeply looking at me.
"hey you better get to it..bathroom i mean.. I just have to rush this breakfast thingy if i want this to be a breakfast in bed for my girl up there, right?", I winked at Naomi. "See you in school, ok?"
"Ok".
And then I finally went to the kitchen and started to prepare. After a few minutes, I here the front door being opened and then I knew Naomi is gone.
I paused and sigh, "What the fuck is the matter with that Campbell, is she playing games again?" I frowned, and then after a long pause, I chuckled, if she is trying to fuck my mind again, she is in for a disappointment Because there is only one thing I can say, Game on!
