The meeting and proposal went through. Emily was so darn happy about the success of her first big proposal on behalf of their Company. They went all fucking mental because of splendid triumph! They celebrated the glorious night at Gramercy Tavern where they all talked about the tension, nervousness and everything happened at the meeting. After the fine supper, the Department Heads' decided to stray around to enjoy the remaining 3 days they have before coming back to Bristol. Emily meet Cass at the nearby Starbucks to congratulate her whilst Naomi was making her way to their room and think if what will she do after the celebration.
"Jesus Christ." She hisses. She has no one to talk to. "She said she'll make it up to me."
She opens her Macbook and tries surfing the net. She opened her E-mail, nothing new. She bring her phone out and tried dialing Emily's number; she's having second thoughts because Emily told her that she'll just need to meet someone then she'll go back to their room and rest but it's been an hour and half since Emily left her alone with nothing to do. Instead of calling, she just sent a message to Emily. After a minute she received a response but to her dismay it wasn't from the person she expected.
"How are you, blondie? Meet me at 230-fifth."
She's still staring at the message. "They're here." She whispers under her nervous breathe. She can feel her heart racing for the thought she might be there as well. She wasted no time. She changed her clothes and made her way out of the hotel. She waited for about 5 minutes before a cab completely stops before her. She gave the Bar name and went her way.
After a couple of minutes, she's in front of the Bar's door. They actually need to meet at the rooftop since it's located there. She can feel her heart running fast before her. It's been years and still they didn't clear the status between them. For a moment, she forgot about Emily. She cannot think anything but her. After making her up to the rooftop, she carefully scans the Bar to look for the person she needs to meet. She was standing at the bar counter still searching.
"Hey Namoikins!" she saw him. "You fucking ace, how are you?" he wraps Naomi into a big tight hug.
"I'm fine James." She carefully frees herself from the choking hug that Cook gave her. "Who's' with you and why are you here? You're supposed to be in London." She carefully looks behind Cook.
"I'm with Freds." He motion Naomi to settle down at the counter bar and have a drink. "Just visiting. It's been a long time since we saw each other."
"Yeah." She tosses down two shots of tequila. Is she disappointed seeing Cook alone? "Where's Freddie?"
"He's with some random girls." He grins maniacally. "We've been here just yesterday to you know, shag, alcohol, drugs and girls." He keeps on making his eyebrows up and down.
Naomi rolls her eyes at him. She's used to be with her friends who are womanizer, especially the guy with her right now.
"You're jealous, aren't you blondie?" he laughs at her expressions.
She then again tosses down 2 tequila shots. "Dream on."
"Yeah, yeah. I know. It's because of her." he went slightly serious. He took 2 tequila shots as well. "She's not with us."
She feels her eyes closed involuntarily hearing Cook says those words. She cannot still fathom the reason why every time she hears her name; it makes her unstable and usually puts herself uneasy. Is she still in love with her? She remains silent. She doesn't know what will she say and ask about her.
"Everything fine Naomikins?" he asked worriedly when he saw Naomi not moving a single muscle from where she is.
"Yeah." she doesn't have any plans of getting wasted for that glorious day they have, it's just that herself is slowly wanting the thought of being drunk afterwards. She's floating not literally but her mind is nowhere to be found aside from the thoughts of her. "We haven't cleared anything since that day. I don't know if we're still together, I don't know if she still loves me, I don't know James."
"Are you ready to see her again?"
"I don't know." She plays her fingers in the tequila glass. Searching for answers that might save her from that tormenting moment she is in now. "It's been 2 years. And still I don't fucking know."
Cooks guzzles 2 straight tequila shots. He needs to tell her, somehow let Naomi prepares herself. "Are you still in love with her?" he said directly without looking at her pristine blue eyes. He doesn't want to see her lying in front of him.
She's thinking about it too, if she's still in love with her. She tried touching and studying the beat of her heart if it is still with her. She closes her eyes and all she can see is a bright red-head. She opens her eyes quickly and shook her head to wake herself up. She tosses down 3 straight tequila shots. She's supposed thinking about her and not Emily.
"Oh Jesus fucking Christ!" she forcefully bang down the glasses. She buried her faced in her palms. "It can't be."
"Yow blondie?" he stokes her back. "Hey mate, you okay?"
"I'm fucking fine James."
"I have something to tell you."
She hurriedly turns her gaze at him. She saw Cook swigs a shot and looks down at the glasses they emptied. "She's coming back." He looks back at her seeing Naomi's eyes widen. He's sure she is not yet ready to face her again. That's the reason why he never dared looking at her pristine blue eyes because he can tell Naomi's feeling.
She tore away her gaze. She's thinking. "When?"
"Maybe next week, she has a big offer from UK." Of course, everyone knows herand wanted to take hold of her. She's fucking famous after all and that's not a big surprise to them. "Ready?"
She knows what Cooks is trying to mean. She's not sure if she is ready or what, she still doesn't know yet.
"Fuck it."

She decided to go back to the hotel and continue her drinking session at the terrace of their room whilst Cook decided to bone some girls at the bar. She's pretty drunk already but she still wanted to feel those burning sensation which she loves. She needs to forget everything for just a fucking day. She walks back to their room unstable making herself bang at the steady walls. She tried knocking at the door but she guessed that Emily still not yet there. Her temper arises and she quickly checked the time.
"It's fucking 3 o'clock in the morning and she's still not here." She tried 4 times to unlock the door and keeps on swearing every time she fails. "Shit!"
She directly grabs the Jack Daniel she bought yesterday and made herself comfortable in the chair located at the terrace. She can see the perfect scenery from where she is right now. It's ideal. She can stay there just to stare those lights making the city alive. She pours some on her glass and gulps it non-stop. She wanted to have some peace of mind. Her thoughts brought her back to where she last saw her.
"We're fine right?" she's waiting for her answer.
"I need to go Naomi. My family needs to move in Brazil. I'm sorry."
"What about us?" tears fell from her painful eyes.
"You know how much I fucking love you." She turned her back against Naomi not wanting to see her crying. It would make things hard for both of them. "I fucking love you that it hurts me a lot thinking I'll be away from you."
"Please. Don't leave." Naomi begs her. She pulls her close to her and kisses her gently wanting to show her how painful it is, how tormenting it is being away from her. "I love you." She whispers in her ear.
"I'm sorry Naomi." She pulls herself away from Naomi and ran as fast as she could not wanting to look back because if she'll do, she knows she can't let go of her anymore.
She closes her eyes remembering her. She can feel the alcohol taking her body; it's slowly eating her up. "Shit, shit, shit!" she's banging her head against her palms.
"Are you okay, Nai?"
She jumps off from her seat. "Fucking Christ! You scared me, Em." She brings her gaze back to the beautiful view she has.
"You're drunk." She can sense flatness in Emily's tone indicating she doesn't like her being drunk. "Problem?"
"I'm fine." She insanely laughs. "Why? Every time someone drinks and get drunk does it mean they have a fucking prolem?" she's slurring.
"I don't know. You tell me." She grabs the vacant seat beside Naomi and stares at the Jack. She grabs the glass and pours some. "By the way, thanks for helping me."
"For the proposal? It's nothing." She softly smiles at her.
"No." she grabs the glass and prepares herself for the burning sensation she might feel again. "For everything."
Naomi saw her tossed the glass down. She then remembers that Emily is not allowed to drink much of it. "Hey. Stop that."
"Why?" Emily eyebrows gathered at the center.
"Because I told you so." Naomi smirks at her.
"What?" Emily crosses her arms against her chest. "Are you telling me not to drink because you said so yourself?"
"Yep."
"Fucking bitch, I'm old enough yeah?" she grabs the glass from Naomi's grip. "Give me that."
"No."
Emily stands up and tried grabbing the glass from Naomi who motions it at the opposite side of Emily's chair. "I'm done with being drunk, Nai. I know how to handle it. You taught me how." Emily's in front of her whilst she's comfortably sitting.
She was surprised. She thinks her ears were filled of hypnotizing melody. She stares at her as if those chocolate brown eyes wash the alcohol out from her body. Emily levels her face to Naomi's.
"I'm fine, Nai. I know how to handle it. I let it go already, okay?" she softly smiles at her. She brushes Naomi's pale cheek making her soft hand tucks some of the blonde peroxide hair. For a moment, they forgot that there's fucking awesome scenery in front of them, that they both exist in the forgotten world they are in now just because of that moment. Naomi is supposed to figuring out how to face her again not facing Emily. "I guess, I'll just check my friend and rest afterwards. Don't drink too much, okay?" she gave her a soft hypnotizing smiles before she stands up again making her way to the door. But before she can fully exit the terrace, she can feel a warm hand stopping her making her face those pristine blue eyes that slowly changing into dark ones.
Naomi pulls her closer making their face inches away from each other. Emily shudders from the hot breathe she's inhaling from Naomi. It's like Naomi is the one making her alive that without those breaths, she can be dead on the spot. She feels that Naomi's long arm wraps her from her back making her a bit more closely than the last one. She can feel gentleness in Naomi's touch, it's like the blonde is holding some piece of artifacts that needn't to be broken.
"Nai, you're drunk." She cannot looks straight in those full of want eyes of Naomi.
"I'm not." She rested her forehead against Emily's. "Stay."
"I'll just need to check my friend before going to bed." she chose the wrong words making Naomi looks at her fiercely.
"No."
"Nai, what's wrong?" she asked worriedly. "Why are you so fucking wounded?"
"You promised me that you'll make it up to me." she tightens her grips around the red-head's body.
"Yeah, I know." She softly smiles. "Are you jealous?"
"Me, jealous?"
"Yeah you."
"I'm not." She's lying. "Why should I?"
"I don't know and since you're not, kindly let me go and I'll check my friend." She slowly frees herself in the tighten grips she's receiving from Naomi not wanting to let her go. She successfully freed herself and makes her way out from the terrace when Naomi grabs her from her waist and brushes her lips against Emily's. She was stunned that she never expected Naomi to grab her again. She can see Naomi's eyes close. She can slowly feel Naomi's lips moving against her. She don't know the reason but she's kissing Naomi back sending signals to the blonde to deepen the kiss, and Naomi didn't disappoint her. "I think you are jealous." She said in between those heated kisses.
Naomi pulls herself a bit away from Emily and stares at her. "I'm not." Still denying it. She grabs Emily's hand and leads her inside since it's getting fucking cold. "Can I kiss you again?"
Emily looks at her shyly. "Do you really need to ask?"
"Erm, yeah?"
"You already did it without asking me right?" their hands interlacing each other. "Or is it because you're drunk?"
"Jesus. I said I'm not drunk." She pinches the bridge of her nose using her free other hand.
"Then you kissed me because?" she curious asks her.
Naomi looks at her intently. This girl is impossible. She can manage to ask some awkward question in an awkward situation. But instead answering Emily back she pulls her again closely to her.
"Stay with me tonight." She demanded not asking.
"I'm staying her in the room Nai, there's no way I'll sleep outside." She softly chuckles. Sarcastic Emily.
"Stay with me and.." Naomi cannot spit it out. She's pulling some courage to the alcohol she ingested.
"And?" Emily is waiting.
She leans in and rested her chin in Emily's neck. She pulls her even closer to hug her completely.
"And?" Emily asks again.
"Make love to me Emily." She whispers in Emily's ear making the red-head fall under her spell. She can feel Emily's body stiffened making her smile like a devil.
Emily lips parted. She can feel her heart fell down on the ground. Is Naomi fucking serious or really proven drunk? She's scared. What if it was only because Naomi's drunk? She can feel her knees needing some support because of the thought that she will possibly allow it to happen. It's been years since the last time she had laid by the person she loved. What will she do?
Naomi looks at her all too lovingly as if they are both fucking so much in love with each other before she brushes her lips against her. She kisses Naomi back and that's the confirmation Naomi is waiting. She agreed to Naomi. It is the signal that herself sent toNaomi. She said yes.
