Hey all! Thank you for the reviews/ follows/ favorites! You guys are the best! A bit of a writers block with this one so it's not one of my best, plus with homework assignments looming I wanted to give you guys something until I have more time to write a larger/better chapter. As always enjoy!

P.S. I know that last chapter got a bit... steamy, so from now on I'm taking a page out of garden-naoms book and I'll put a warning before every chapter. I don't know if I'll go into as much detail as I did last time but you never know ;)

I don't own skins/buffy but if I did life would be great.

Chapter 19

Naomi's POV

I woke up with the sun in my face, the light drawing me out of my deep sleep. I look around the room, my room actually, Emily and I having moved in the middle of the night back to my place. Which was probably for the best, even JJ couldn't stop the planetarium from opening in the morning. We made our way back to my room last night, pulling and grabbing what we could and stopping along the way to snog the shit out of each other. Let's just say that I'll never look at Crawford street the same ever again. But we did eventually make it back to mine were we continued our assault on each other well into the night and early morning, which is why waking up to the sunlight streaming through the windows isn't something to be happy about. Stupid sun and your need to shine right into my face when I should be asleep in the arms of Emily.

"Do you always look this angry in the morning?" And that's when I remember that I'm not alone in bed. Like I could really forget. I look over to Emily, she's on her side with both of her hands tucked underneath her chin, with a quirky little smile on her lips. Her makeup is smudged and her hair is all over the place... she looks beautiful.

"Only when I wake up next to you." I smile at her playfully. She smacks me in the arm and laughs.

"Cheeky bitch." She slides into my arms, resting her head on my shoulder while I wrap my arms around her.

"Have any plans for the day?" Emily asks me.

"I have training with Giles actually. I missed a few last week so I need to get back to it. What about you?"

"Katie wants to go shopping." She groans.

"Why doesn't she take Eff along? That's what girlfriends are for aren't they?"

"I already tried that. She said we need and I quote 'some quality fucking twin time.'" We both laugh. It sounds exactly like something that Katie would say.

"So I guess it'll be Eff and I at training today."

"Effy trains with you?" I nod.

"Sometimes. Her and Giles have a special bond, It's rather adorable really. Plus it helps keep Effy in control of her powers. A rogue Effy wouldn't be good."

"Why would she go rogue?"

"Effy and magic have had a bit of an up and down relationship. She's very powerful, second only to one of my other friends who makes Effy look like a bunny in comparison. But still, if Effy lost her balance it could be dangerous for a lot of people, including her."

"Has she ever lost control before?"

"Once."

"Well then, best get you and Effy to training."

"I never took you for the fuck and chuck type. Already trying to throw me out of bed." She smirks at me, a devilish look in her eyes.

"Oh you haven't seen anything yet Campbell." With that she jumps onto me

and begins to show me.

A few hours later, after Emily and I were finally able to part from each other, I found myself in the library waiting on Giles and Effy. I was a bit early so I decided to make some stakes with the spare time, you can never have to many. Well onto my third stake I see Effy glide into the library and take a seat across from me.

"I take it your night went well then." Effy says, her signature smirk in place.

"And why do you presume that?"

"I am all knowing and all seeing. Also your humming. You never hum and you certainty never hum while making stakes. You hate making stakes."

"I do not."

"You do to. I believe your exact words the last time we made some was 'I kill the vampires, you lot make the stakes, consider it payment for me saving your lives.'"

"Damn you Stonem."

"So, do tell then."

"Not much to tell Eff. Emily and I enjoyed a lovely evening at the planetarium and today we woke up in each others arms."

"Ahh, so you fucked her under the stars then. I never thought you'd be a romantic Naoms." She smiles at me.

"Fuck off Stonem."

Giles walks into the library with Spike closely in tow.

"Awfully cheery today Naomi. Good nights sleep?" Giles asks and Effy laughs not even attempting to hold it back.

"Don't think so watcher man. I think our Naomi has tasted the nectar of a certain redhead. She a feisty one then? It's always the quiet ones you have to look out for."

"Spike! That's my girl... that's my Emily you're talking about."

"What was that you were trying to say Naoms. You're girl... care to finish that for us."

"The lot of you can go fuck yourselves." Truth is I didn't know what Emily and I were, we left it pretty open once we parted this morning. I know I don't want to be with anyone else but I don't know what she wants. What if she doesn't want to be exclusive? I know she was a bit of a player, much like I was. Maybe that's all this was, her next conquest.

"For fucks sake Naomi. She likes you, a lot and you like her a lot. So stop mucking about and just ask her already."

"How do you always do that?!"

"Like I said, all seeing and all knowing."

After training we all sat around the table, discussing the events of the previous week, with Katie and Emily's kidnapping being the main focus.

"Giles. There was a man there, at the graveyard. The man with the mask, the one who threw the fireball? He's from my dreams." The entire table went completely silent.

"Are you absolutely positive Naomi?" Giles asks, taking off his glasses in the process, which means that this is pretty serious.

"Yes. I would recognize him anywhere." Giles and Effy share a worried look.

"Well then. It seems that this book is useless to you now." Spike says, pulling a book from inside of his coat. "Willow told me it would only help if your dreams stayed in dream land. Once you started to see things in real life it would be useless."

"Why would it be useless?"

"She said that this would only help if they were just nightmares but if they had any evidence that they are memories it won't work. Seems to me like a man from your dreams in waking form is memory worthy."

"I would have to agree with you on that one Spike. It seems we will have to try a few other options."

"I'll let our little lesbian witch know when I go back."

"That would be greatly appreciated Spike." Giles says to Spike and then looks at me. "Now Naomi, what else happens in this dream? Is anyone else there?" I take a moment to think back, think back to the one face that will be burned inside of my eyelids forever.

"There's an uber vamp there." And if it was at all possible the room got even quieter than it was before and if I wasn't mistaken I could see fear in Spikes eyes, something I've never seen before.

"All of the uber vamps are dead. They were killed when Spike sacrificed himself to kill them all. That can't be."

"I know what I saw Giles. It was an uber vamp and it kicked my ass."

"Well then you should relay this to the others as soon as you get back. Buffy and Faith may have a few theories."

"Consider it done. With than cheery note, I'm off and away. Gottta make a boat back to the States. Take care of yourselves, the lot of you." With that Spike walks away and out of the library.

"So what do we do know?" Effy asks.

"Well, I need to do a bit of research."

"Typical." Both Effy and I say at the same time, laughing at the perplexed look on Giles' face.

I find myself laying on my bed, trying to reread the text that I have typed out but haven't sent yet, nervous that if even the smallest thing is wrong I'll embarrass myself.

Hey Ems, come over tonight? I already miss your ogre looking face ;)

I look it over a few times and decide that it's good enough. I don't have to wait long for a reply, which is good because I would have spent every second of it deciding if it was the right thing to send or not.

Be careful or you're never going to see this ogre naked again ;) Be over in 10?

I smile at the text, happy in the fact that I didn't screw this up... at least not yet.

Like you could resist this if you tried. See you in ten :)

I put my phone down and run downstairs, deciding that I should make some tea for Emily and I. Just as I finish the tea I hear a knock at the door and go running for it, thankful that my mother isn't home right now. We've managed to avoid a run in thus far and I'm hoping to keep it that way for now. I open the door to find Emily in a oversized hoodie and a raggedy pair of jeans, her hair thrown up into a messy ponytail.

"You look adorable and you're early."

"Yeah well, I may have already been on my way." She looks down at her feet bashful and I smile at her.

"Told you you couldn't resist this."

"Shut it you."

"Make me."

Emily grabs the front of my shirt collar and pulls me forward, our lips meeting in the middle. A slow but passionate kiss that makes my knees go weak and start to shake. I thread my hands through her hair and relish its feel. We both moan into each others mouths, the passion rising every second. Emily is the first to pull away, breaking the kiss, much to my disappointment.

"Don't pout. If we didn't stop we'd be giving your pervy old neighbor a show."

"Well at least It'd be a good one." I pout some more and she chuckles a bit before giving me a quick peck on the lips and heading inside to the kitchen, where our tea is already set up.

"I made tea!" I say a bit loudly and excitedly.

Emily laughs, "I can see that."

We sit down at the table next to each other, both of us nursing a nice raspberry tea. I bite the inside of my cheek, afraid for the topic that I want to bring up.

"Just ask Naomi."

"What?"

"You've been staring at the side of my head for five minutes. Just ask me what it is you want to ask me?" She puts her and my tea down, turns to me and grabs my hands.

"Right. Just ask. Simple as that."

"Simple as that Noams." I take a deep breath and let the words fall out of my mouth.'

"DoYouWantToBeMyGirlfriend?" I close my eyes, waiting for an answer.

"In English please?" I open my eyes slowly and look into hers, and an immediate sense of calm washes over me.

"I know we were kind of already together but with every thing that's happened I feel like I need to ask you again. But... will you be my girlfriend?" Emily smiles at me and I know for once I've done the right thing.

"I thought you'd never ask... again." She pulls me into a searing kiss and I know that I'll end my day the way it started, in the arms of Emily Fitch.

Alright all, what'ya think? I know not my best but I'm crazy busy! I had to read over 900 pages last week, it was rough. I promise a better one next week or even this week at some point, I may have time?

Also for anyone wondering what the library looks like I'm using the exact one from Buffy, not sure if I've said this before *shrugs*

Reviews? Complaints? Read any good books lately? (sidenote the memoirs of Andrei Sakharov, not an interesting 619 page read)
