The walk back with the older twin was torturous for Emily. She couldn't get Naomi out of her head, she couldn't concentrate on anything except what she had said, and the look she had been given. Katie was talking mindlessly beside her to fill the silence, but she didn't hear a word that was being said to her until her twin stopped, "Ems… are you even listening to me?"

"Sorry, Kates, I was just going over my routine in my head…" she lied, "…what did you say?"

Katie looked over to her twin for a moment with an annoyed look across her features, "I said there are some well fit blokes here. I think I want to take one home with me." She giggled, apparently already forgetting that she was angry just a moment ago for being ignored. "Maybe we can find a guy for you too, Ems, I'm sure of it."

Emily was sick of her sister trying to find her guys to date. It did nothing but piss her off royally. She had never really thought about boys, not in that way at least. They just didn't interest her, and if she really was being honest with herself, she hadn't really felt butterflies until a few minutes ago when she was gazing into the light sapphire blue eyes of Naomi. 'Naomi' she repeated in her head. She wasn't quite understanding what her fascination with the gorgeous blond was, but she really did hope she'd come to her competition later. Who knows, maybe they could sort it out then.

Emily stood at the entrance of the arena, leading Sir Paint inside with Katie atop him. "Good Luck." The younger twin said as she squeezed Katie's calf lightly with her hand. It had been something she started doing a few years ago. It was her way of showing her sister that she was there for her and would support her no matter what happened.

The red head walked back to the outside so she would be able to watch her sister's race, but in the process, she caught the gaze of blue eyes in the crowd. She felt compelled to go over, and so she did, and it seemed that the blond had much of the same idea.

The two met in the middle as if they were in some cheesy romance film. There weren't any words said between them, they just stared into each other's eyes. The sound of the gun brought Emily back to reality and she grabbed Naomi's hand and brought her to the arena fence so she could watch her sister before letting the hand go.

Katie tore out of the gate, knowing exactly what time she needed to beat seeing as she was the last contestant of the competition. She rode Sir Paint hard around the first barrel, raced to the second barrel, around it and up to the center one at the far end before quickly moving around that one. The horse and rider ran through the finish, but the time was too close to call.

While watching her sister, Emily had subconsciously reached over to grab Naomi's hand in hers, squeezing it tightly. As if the squeeze to this stranger would urge the pair riding on faster and give them the win. Chocolate orbs moved up to the board, impatiently waiting for the time to show. It was taking too long, and she began bouncing up and down to make it go faster.

Naomi was shocked, first at the fact that this short red head had grasped her hand and was squeezing it, and second at the way she was hopping around to wait for the time. In all honesty, the blond had no real clue what time that the bitchy red head had needed to win, but it was obviously better than the best time. Not two seconds after the time had appeared, she felt Emily let go of her hand before throwing her arms around her neck. Naomi wasn't quite sure what to do; she didn't exactly hug people, like ever. Her hands instinctively moved around the shorter girl's waist and the blond pulled her in closer.

Emily must have realized what she had done because after a good 10 seconds in Naomi's embrace, her body stiffened and she took a few steps back. A flush was evident on her cheeks and she kept her eyes from locking up with the crystal blue ones. "I uhm… sorry, about that," she muttered out before rushing off to go find her sister.

This was the third time that the blond had been left standing there dumbfounded as the red head walked away. She grumbled slightly to herself and spun around on her heal to see Effy staring at her while Pandora was trying to reach through one of the barriers to pet a horse.

"What's going on there?" Effy said once she had walked over to Naomi.

"I was, thanking her, you know, for earlier, for the water."

"Bull shit. I think you've maybe hugged me once since we've known each other, and now you're all over this girl that you only met today."

It was true, and the blond knew she couldn't even begin to deny it. Her head just shook slightly and she leaned in close to Effy. "I don't know what it is about her. I can't get her out of my head."

The stoic blue eyed brunette looked her friend right in the eye, "You gay then?"

Naomi thought about that for a minute, maybe even longer before she raised her gaze back to Effy, "If I said yes, would I regret it?"

Effy's shoulders rose in a shrug before she answered, "Probably… but not because of me."
