Thanks for reviewing last chapter, everyone. Also a special thanks to nitaxnitro for pointing out a rather major cock up on my behalf. In the first chapter I mentioned that Katie's new boyfriend was Cook, who Emily had briefly met, but last chapter Emily only vaguely knew of Cook and Katie was with Freddie. This was because, as some of you know from my other stories, I don't plan my writing at all. I literally come up with a start of a story and BAM. I go from there, opening a new word document when I feel like it and it all comes from there... so sometimes I forget what I've already written! I am mildly retarded. So yeah, ignore that. Katie is with Freddie :D
I follow Naomi until we get to a big door leading out onto a veranda. There's a guy vomiting off it onto the grass and two people shagging, or almost shagging, at least, on the steps. Romantic.
"Oi, tossers. Think you could fuck off?" Naomi snaps at the 3 people, and they all get up and go back inside, the guy trying to hold back his vomit as he does so.
She turns back around and smiles shyly at me as pulls out one of the chairs around the table for me to sit down, I accept, and she pushes me in and sits down next to me.
"What a gentleman." I tease. I'm starting to feel a lot more comfortable around her; she's actually not intimidating at all.
"Just for you." She teases back, winking, and I blush.
She whips out a lighter and a pack of cigarettes, offering me one, an offer I take up, gratefully.
She lights mine first then lights her own, then lights three candles that are sitting in the center of the table.
"Wow, you really are a gentleman." I laugh as I take a swig of my beer, starting to feel quite buzzed now.
She laughs.
"But really," I continue "Never picked you for the romantic type."
"I'm not!" She says quickly. "Well... I'm not normally, anyway." She smiles at me. I return it.
"So, why did you decide to come to Bristol?"
"Needed a change, really." She says inhaling her cigarette.
"I know the feeling." I take a puff of mine. "And you came here with..."
"Well, I was supposed to come here with my girlfriend." What the fuck? She has a girlfriend? I'm about to get up and storm off but something tells me not to. "...but then I found her in bed with my so-called best friend. My so-called straight friend, at that." Oh.
"Oh... right..." I say awkwardly. "I'm sorry." I don't really have anything else to say.
"It's okay. She was a couple years older, and thought she could just come to university down here... but whatever it's fine. My mum and step-dad were always going to come anyway."
"How, uh, how long were you together?" Trying not to push it.
"About a year." She says idly.
I figure recent ex-girlfriends aren't exactly a great first date topic so I plan to change to something a bit more neutral. Wait what? First date? Whoa, I am getting a bit too far ahead of myself...
Before I can speak Naomi pulls a small tin box from her purse, opening it and displaying 3 or 4 perfectly rolled spliffs.
"Fancy something stronger?" She grinned.
"You read my mind." I laugh.
She smiles and grabs my cigarette, putting it out with hers.
She lights the spliff and takes a long puff, breathing it out slowly.
I watch the smoke pouring from her mouth and bite my lip and how fucking sexy she looks.
She must see me looking because she bites her lip back at me and gives me a sexy wink.
I blush and grab the spliff off her, feeling the effects drown out my nervousness.
"Are you going to come to Roundview?" I ask, trying not to sound too hopeful as I pass her the spliff and take a chug of my beer.
"Yup, you go there?" I internally do a little dance and can't help it when the giant grin spreads across my face.
"Yeah." She smiles back and I flicker my eyes across her lips and then back up to her eyes and am surprised when I see her looking back at my lips.
"Yeah." She says quietly. And suddenly all the surroundings are gone and everything goes quiet as I look into her eyes.
Properly feeling the drugs and alcohol now, I decide to be brave and make the first move.
I hesitatingly move my head forward very slowly and am almost shocked when I see Naomi do the same.
Just as my lips are about to be upon hers, someone comes crashing through the window and glass splatters everywhere. My head snaps away from hers and looks at what the fuck is going on.
"Don't you ever grab my tit again you tosser!" Some blonde girl yells out the window and Cook jumps up on his feet and just laughs. I should have known.
"Evening girlies, not interrupting any lesbo action am I?" he grins and throws his arms around us.
"Course not, Cook." Naomi says tightly, clearly trying to hint for him to fuck off.
I smile awkwardly at the two of them, trying to ignore the throbbing in my lower abdomen after the previous events before Cook had to fucking ruin it.
"I um, need to piss. Want to join me, Emily?" not exactly the most charming offer but I'll take it.
"Yes, I was just thinking that I needed to go..."
We get up and she grabs my hand and we practically run through the door and through the crowds of people, leaving a dumbfounded Cook outside.
We almost get to the bathroom when...
"Emily, we're going. NOW." Katie says angrily, standing in front of Naomi and I, blocking our entry.
"Katie..." I say impatiently, nodding towards Naomi.
"Sorry for... muff-blocking you, Emily... or whatever... but I want to go home. Now!"
"Why, what's happened?" I squeeze Naomi's hang apologetically and she squeezes back.
"Freddie is wasted and he's being an arsehole."
Perfect timing, Freddie comes stumbling over to us throwing his arm around me.
"I'm sorry, Katie, babe." He says to me. Uh-oh... mistaking his girlfriend for her twin. I feel sorry for this guy... he's really going to fucking get it from Katie. And not in a good way.
"I'm Katie you twat!" Katie screams and storms out, leaving everyone staring at us.
I push Freddie off me and as soon as I do he starts vomiting all over the ground, just missing my feet. Lovely.
"I'm sorry, I've got to go. I can't leave her." I point to Katie who's now leaving through the front door.
"Why not?" Naomi challenges, raising an eyebrow and taking her hand away from mine.
I just look at her blankly.
She sighs. "It's fine. I get it. I'll txt you."
She wanders off before I can say anything. Hmm. I ignore it and run after Katie.
I catch up with her just down the road from Cooks. She's crying and I run up to her and put my arm around her as she leans in and rests her head on my shoulder, letting me console her.
"I'm sorry for dragging you away from Naomi." She whispers.
"It's fine," I tell her honestly. Katie knows I'll always put her first. "Don't worry about Freddie okay? You two will work it out, you always do."
I pray what I'm saying is true. Katie needs Freddie, always has.
She nods, but doesn't stop crying and we walk back to the house in silence.
Also, I have decided to finish 'Walk on the Wild Side'. I know I said I didn't have the motivation for it, but I know how much I hate it when someone stops a fic midway through it, and I don't think it would be very fair to the 120+ people who have alerted the story and have enjoyed reading it. So I was hoping you guys could help inspire me, please personal message me, review, or something and tell me if yu have any ideas or something! After all I write to please not only myself, but others too so I'd love to hear your opinon of what to do next. :)
