Chapter Five
"Ouch!" Emily glared at Katie and hissed, "What?!!"
"What do you mean, what?! You are fucking sleeping again. You want the teacher to see?", Katie hissed back glaring and looking from her sister and back towards the person at the front of the room.
Emily squinted at her twin sister totally pissed off for the intrusion but knew that Katie has a point. She groan and rub her palms across her face scrunching it at the same time in an attempt to remove the heaviness of her eyes. Fuck, she should not have went out again with Lia last night. That girl has the whole energy source plant in her! Not that she is complaining but for someone that claims that Emily is her first time with a girl. For Lia to be having that.. well that URGES one after the other, she is beginning to think that either Lia is a nymph or something like that, or Lia has never had orgasms with her ex boyfriends before that it became like a drug to her, making her, Emily Fitch, just too damn good for Lia not to be able to resist. Emily would like to think that it is the second reason, because frankly she does not want to handle people with head problems AGAIN. Yes again, because, she already had some experience with someone who become so utterly obsessed with her that she has threatened Emily that she will kill herself if Emily leave her. To think they were just together for like two weeks or so. Thank God, the girl's family move, not because their daughter is suicidal but because they found out that she is gay and Emily is a disease that made their daughter that way. So, they dragged her away to "straighten" her, whatever that means. Emily has never been glad to have parents not accepting of their kids sexual orientation after that day.
Finally when Emily felt she was about to drift off again, the doorbell rang completely waking up her groggy mind.
"Thank God... What did you do last night anyway for you to be knackered like that?", Katie said while packing up her things and preparing to move out of the classroom.
"Nothing. Just went out and had a few drinks"
"Few drinks? Even if you have lots of drinks you dont get knackered that fast anymore Ems.", Katie replied raising her eyebrows.
"Hey I have always been a light drinker you know that"
"Yeah, like.. BEFORE... we already went out like four times since you get back and you are NOW nowhere near a light drinker, you have said so yourself", Katie pausing and looking at her intently. Emily sighed, this is one of the few times that she wish Katie is back to her old self, not caring about her and all. But after she left, Katie has changed from being all the more horrible to her during phone calls to becoming all soft and pleading with her to go back to Bristol.
"I just had a date Katie that took up most of my night last night, no big deal ok?"
"Which chick is it this time Ems?"
On other circumstances, Emily might have smiled because Katie has really changed and have completely accepted her being gay, but then a figure came round at the far corner looking sexy as hell but someone that she is getting a little wee bit tired of. Talk about becoming clingy or something like that.
"Hi Ems!", Lia breath out, her smile wider than Emily have ever seen her smiled before and her face is glowing. Emily notices Lia glancing to her lips and back to her eyes. Lia is still not ready to let other people know, something that Emily now is grateful for, because she swears by the look in Lia's eyes right now, if on other situation she might have already been slumped to the wall behind her ravaged right in the middle of school lockers.
Katie eyed Lia suspiciously and looked back at Emily. "Never mind, I already know the answer.." Katie smirked and then took off.
"What was that all about?" Lia asked, worried what Emily's twin sister meant.
"Never mind about that we are just discussing about something", Emily reassured her. There is no point in telling her that well Katie is her twin and there are things that even left unsaid, one of them will already know.
Lia breath showing a sign of relief and then moved a little bit closer to Emily and whispered.. "I miss you already" she whispered seductively.
Fuck! There she goes again.. They just started to went out like 3days ago right? Though thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with it right? But maybe she just does not feel that way about her. On why she dont, she does not know.. I mean if hotness is a basis, Lia way surpassed that category but it feels that there is something missing like..
"Ems.." Naomi? Emily recognize that voice anywhere and she stilled herself because she swears her heartrate had doubled all of a sudden with one simple call to her name. Emily turned around and sure enough Naomi is at her back, smiling and looking hot as ever even with just a simple top and a skirt. But Emily kept her cool and answered, "Hey.. "
Naomi smiled all the more when Emily replied and cleared her throat preparing to ask the question that she has been practicing this morning before finding all the courage to finally approach Emily.
"Excuse me and you are?", interrupted Lia with a raised eyebrow, irritated that now Emily's back is facing her and that Emily's attention has been taken.
Naomi blink noticing Lia for the first time and simply answered, "Naomi..", when Lia did not acknowledged she repeated, "I'm Naomi Campbell", Naomi smiled at Lia despites Lia's dagger eyes.
"What? Naomi Campbell?" Lia bursted trying to stop herself from laughing. "What's that like the supermodel?", and now she snickered. Naomi, got flustered for a minute but then, the fuck, NOBODY makes fun of her like that and gets away with it, she told herself. So, injecting all the Naomi bitcheness that she naturally has, she raises her eyebrows straightened her shoulders and look at Lia straight in the eye, "Yeah. Why you have a problem with that?" she drawled out her voice, showing that she is not a typical girl that she can push around like a toy.
Lia took one look at Naomi's smug face and at Emily's back, that haven't even turned around to defend her, and she felt hurt. So Lia replied, "No, of course not. I have to go, see yah around Emily". Emily look over her shoulder to just gave her a wave and turned back to Naomi.
Naomi saw the look of hurt in the girl's face that Emily did not even gave her a final proper glance before she went away and call it evil or what but she rather feels fucking wonderful that Emily is giving full attention on her. She saw it as a good sign.
*****************************
"So.. what is it Naomi?"
"Uhm.. " Fuck there she goes again with the blaberring. Christsake, Naomi put it together. She breath and tried again.. "Well, JJ happened to mention that him and I have 3rd period together and that you two have the same class, so I was wondering if I can walk with you to our class?"
Emily slightly frowned and angled her head to the side, clearly surprised at Naomi's offer. But then she gave Naomi her cheeky smile and nodded. If only Emily knew how her smile affected Naomi.
After a few silence while walking, Emily broke it.
"Thanks for the save back there.."
Naomi smiled gratefully because she has been racking her brain for something smart to say to break the silence between them.
"Save? From who, that girl you are talking to?"
"Yeah.."
"Girlfriend?" Naomi mentioned, but hoping desparately that the answer is what she is hoping it would be.
Emily laughed and Naomi smiled all the more, "What? It's not as if I dont know that you are already out you know", Naomi winked at her letting Emily know that she is not in any way awkward with Emily being gay anymore.
Seeing Naomi in a funny mood, Emily laughed all the more and after calming down, she said smiling and looking at Naomi.. "Sorry was just quite surprised on how you just said those in a matter of fact way.. But to answer your question, no, she is not my girlfriend and no, I have no plan in getting one in the near future. Relationships are just fucking complicated. Better alone, that way you can have lots of options to choose from everytime you go out for fun" Emily replied throwing Naomi a wink back.
Naomi tried to smile after hearing it from Emily and although she was able to pull through the smile, she knows it did not reach her eyes. And so she averted her eyes from Emily's brown ones not wanting her to know yet the effect her words have on her. She knows she wants Emily but it seems clear already that Emily does not want the same thing anymore and in a way it saddens here thinking that she might have already been too late. But, NO, Naomi told herself. Straighten it out Naomi! You are not gonna give up immediately after just a few conversation, you have never been a quiter right? So here goes, another one of Naomi's plans.
"Speaking of going out, I have never been out to party since I got back. Effy happened to mention yesterday that you guys will be going out this weekend and she invited me, but well, dont want to just barge in like that, so you think it would be ok for me to be there? Like your friends, especially Katie won't strangle me or something?", she asked Emily smiling.
"Oh yeah, we have plans, sorry was not able to bring it up earlier. But nah, dont worry about them.. It's been like more than a year they would have gotten over it already. Besides, I have, so why not them right?", Emily said reassuring her. Somehow, the reassurement only got Naomi's mood to dampen even more. But Emily does not even know that she is sorry about what happened right? Seeing that Emily does not even care anymore if she is sorry or not about what happened before seems to blur her hope all the more of getting Emily back again.
Naomi opens her mouth wanting to tell Emily that she is sorry, terribly sorry about what she did to her in college, but it seems that this is not the right time. But she so wants to voice it out just to see if she will still get a reaction from her. Anything, any reaction at all, its better than seeing her just brushing off what happened as if it was nothing significant. Because for her, it was.
She looked up suddenly because Emily grabbed her arms softly, the contact catching her by surprise. Emily must have mistook it for something else because she quickly let go and suddenly Naomi hated herself for having that sudden reaction because despite the brief contact they had, it just made her realize how much she really miss Emily and unconsciously she caught her lower lips through her teeth out of a nervous habit and find herself looking at Emily's lips involuntarily. God, how she wants to taste those lips of hers again. Emily is saying something but she was so busy looking at those perfect lips of hers that she has to forcefully tell herself that she has to look up or else she might be doing something that will be embarassing. Although she knows that the staring and wanting that she did was only for a brief second, but she cant help but think that Emily might have noticed and she started to blush.
"Naomikins!!!", Cook shouted across the hallway walking their way.
Naomi breath a sigh of relief thinking that she has never been ever this grateful of Cook saving her the embarassment of looking back at Emily's eyes again.
But looking sideways, if Emily did notice, Emily does not show it, so I think it's safe to assume she did not? Naomi, hopes so.
"Hi Cook!", Emily called out to Cook with a smile.
"Hi Doll face", replied Cook to which Emily scowled and said, "I'm not doll face, how many times have I told you not to call me that..", she look at Naomi and rolled her eyes.
Cook just laugh in the usual loud way that he did. "Oh come on Emily, I thought its sweet..", he grinned from ear to ear.. But then Cook looked at Naomi and then back to Emily, suddenly realizing something.. and then grinned all the more, "Hey... So you two back again?!"
Naomi started to speak but then Emily beat her to it. "Course not!" and then she laugh looking at Naomi. Naomi has no choice but to laugh as well, so she joined in though she knows it sounds strained.
"Aww Come on, you can tell Cookie.. " Cook said wiggling his eyebrow at Emily. Well thanks and perfect Cook for putting me in this awkward situation, Naomi thought.
"Well, let just say.. We have grown up so no point in bringing back what happened, right?" Emily explained and then look at Naomi looking for confirmation to which Naomi has AGAIN no choice but nod. "So just friends Cook.." Emily concluded. Everytime, Naomi swears she felt her heart being crushed and she wonder how she still can breath evenly.
But Cook have accepted Emily's explaination and looked at Naomi again, "Then you should come Naomikins. Friday night, ok? We are getting fucked up!!! Paarrrtyyy!!!" Cook shouted pounding his chest at the same time that Emily started chuckling.
"Calm down Cook, its just Monday", Freddie interrupted suddenly appearing behind Cook with Effy. Naomi suddenly became conscious because although it seems that Cook does not have a problem of her being included for their Friday night out, she is not that sure about Freddie. Naomi looked at him and smiled.
At first, Freddie did not smile back, but instead look at Emily. Seeing that Emily is ok with everything, he returned Naomi's smile and said, "Yeah, Naomi, you should come". Naomi looked at Effy and Effy just smiled.
"Thanks Freds, I sure will come.. " To which Effy raised her eyebrows slightly and wink at Naomi only to go back to her usual i-dont-fucking-care look before Naomi can even blink an eye.
"Well we got to go and you have to go in or you will le late.." Freddie replied and then to Cook.. "You coming?"
"Yup mate.. Good to see you again Naomikins..", he winked and then he runs after Freddie and Effy.
Naomi looked back at Emily and Emily was grinning back at her.. "See, told you you dont have to worry..", and then Emily went a little bit serious and say "Sorry about grabbing you, well it was just..", and then Naomi saw that there was a hint of laughter in Emily's eyes as she was about to say something.. "Just what?", Naomi replied starting to smile as well. God she really is pathetic right now, she thought. One minute she felt crushed and then just with one smile from Emily and she feel happy again! How the hell could she survive this? But like what Effy said, she would have to try.
"Well, look behind you and look up to the number at the door." Naomi obliged and look behind her shoulders and then up, looking at the number Emily is referring to. It says, 347, she looked back at Emily confused and say, "347?"
Then Emily chuckled and shake her head.. "tsk tsk tsk.. What happened to you? Bump your head or something? 3-4-7.. number to the room for our class? Ring a bell? No wonder you walked past it.." and then with that she raised both her hands hold each of Naomi's shoulder and turned Naomi around and then starts to push her slightly towards class still chuckling. "Come on zombie and here I was thinking that I am the one deprive of sleep"
Second contact for the day! Yey! Naomi was thinking. And although this time there is cloth in between her shoulders and Emily's hand, she still cant deny the tingle she felt at Emily's touch. So she starts to chuckle as well after mumbling "Sorry.."
Naomi swears that this class will be be her favorite from now on.
