Thank you too the people that have took the time to write a quick review, good or bad, I have read some saying that I should work on formatting the dialogue better, which I will try. Anyway, its date night.
NAOMI POV
The car journey so far is a bit awkward, I don't know why, I don't know what to say and I have butterflies for some strange reason, she's not saying much either, hopefully conversation will flow when we get something to eat.
"Is it me or is it hot in here?" I say and immediately realise how stupid and flirty that sounded, I really need to think before I speak.
"Yeah, its pretty hot in here" she responded shyly smirking back at me, I don't think it was intentional because she looked sharply away down at her hands and blushed.
"Maybe we should turn the heat down" I reply, as I go to turn the heat down Emily also did and our hands met, we both pulled away instantly, and I felt a shiver make its way through my whole body.
"Uh.. sorry, I uh.. I mean, yeah, sorry.. didn't mean to do" she said, again looking down at her hands blushing.
"It's fine Emily, why are you apologizing?" I responded
"Nothing.. Its just, well its your car I shouldn't have even gone to turn it down"
"Really Emily, its fine.. don't worry about it" Turning my head to and giving her a smile, in which she returned.
Finally we arrived at a small restaurant that we both agreed looked like a nice place to eat. I found a parking space pretty much right outside the restaurant so we didn't have to walk far. As we stepped through the door we were welcome by a member of staff that showed us to our table, this feels weird, it wouldn't feel so weird if it was at a cafe or something but being in a restaurant? I don't know it just feels like it's a date, which of course its not.
So as we sat down at our table we each picked up one of the menus and waited for someone to come over and take our order, after they did, we sat awkwardly looking around at other people refusing to make eye contact. Finally, she spoke.
"I'm sorry, I'm finding it really hard to make conversation with you, I don't know why but I'm really nervous, I've never felt this way before about anyone, and this is really awkward to say , no, fuck I shouldn't have said that! Shit what am I doing!" she turned a bright red colour and buried her face in her palms
A few seconds passed, "Please say something" she added as a mumble.
"Actually uh, Emily, as hard as it is to say, I'm kinda feeling.. uhh, a bit nervous too, and butterflies, fuck, these butterflies.. But, I'm not, you know.. I'm not.."
"Gay" she finished off, "yeah, that" I responded looking her in the eye.
"Yeah, me either. At least.. I think I'm not.. but what is this feeling between us? I'm quite sure it's not normal to feel this way about someone of the same gender and not be.. At least a little.. bit.. gay? I know it sounds weird and I know it's hard to say, but I'm just trying to work it out" she rambled on and then looked down and started to play with her hands nervously waiting for my response.
"I get what you're trying to say, and I don't know how we're supposed to work this out.. but I'm.. sure of it, I'm not, gay, I think it's just, being with someone new, that I hardly know" I responded
"well then, I guess we'll just eat and then.. we can try and talk about it after?"
"yeah, I guess so"
A couple of quiet minutes later our food arrived, there wasn't that much conversation whilst we were eating, we just spoke about why I decided to apply to work at Fitch Look, and about how her family got the shop started, I think we were both still confused and trying to figure things out in our.
Finally we both finish our food, we leave the bill on the table and head out to make our way back to the car.
As we find ourselves standing at the passenger side of the car, Emily turns too me looking directly into my eyes, as I stare back she leans forward and her lips meet mine. I didn't stop her, I didn't want to. The kiss was slow and passionate, no tongues, until she leans back a tiny bit, now her lips are a few centimetres away from mine, staring me in the eyes she pushes me back until I am leaning against the the car, and again our lips meet, this time with tongues, and neither one of us wanted to stop.
After a few minutes I push her away and start to freak out, I was enjoying the kiss so much I couldn't help but get scared, I was so sure of it, so sure that I wasn't gay!
"Fuck! Shit! I'm sorry Emily I can't do this!" I said as I quickly hurried over to the driver side of the car, opened the door and started the engine. She stood there with mixed emotions, I could tell she didn't know what to say, didn't know what to do.
"Naomi, I'm sorry.. I.. I thought it would help us, help us come to a conclusion with what we were feeling towards each other, Naomi I really am sorry" she said, voice shaky like she wanted to cry.
"Emily, please just.. get in the car" I said coldly
"No, its fine. I'll walk" she replied, I caught a tear drip down her face before she quickly wiped it away. "Emily no, just get in I'll take you home" She didn't answer, she just began to walk off in the direction of which we came from.
So yeah, as always a quick review means a lot. Hope you liked this chapter, a bit longer than usual!
