Next eventful 24 hours

CHAPTER 5

The next morning I wake up first as always. I look down to the redhead who still has her arm protectively around my waist and her head resting on my chest. I smile to myself when I suddenly realise how I feel. I don't feel like I need to run from her, honestly I just feel happy and it's a strange felling for me. I tighten my grip on the sleeping girl next to me and decide to tell her something that I know I can't tell her when shes awake simply because I know I'd fuck it up and stumble over my words.

"I know I've fucked things up before Ems, but I promise you I'm going to make that right. I'm not going to be a prick anymore. I love you and I have done all along. I'm sorry for pissing you about. I'm going to do absolutely everything I can to make you happy from now on." I whisper quietly ensuring I don't disturb Emily.

"Your still here" is mumbled from my chest and I realise Emily's awake. Shit did she hear me. Fuck. She tilts her head up slightly snuggling into my neck and pushing her body impossibly closer into the side of mine. I decide to ignore the fact she might have heard me and answer her.

"Of course I'm still here, I'm always going to be from now on" and I drop a kiss onto the top of her head to emphasis my point.

"You don't have to do anything to make my happy you know. I already am happy waking up next to you. Just being with you." Emily says her voice still thick with sleep. Great she did hear me how do I get out of this one. When I realise I can't I decide on a different approach.

"Emily look at me" she lifts her head and shifts her body slightly turning to face me. I stare straight into her hazel brown eyes. "I'm happy just being with you to"

A smile creeps up on her face and turns into a full grin, making her eyes sparkle.

"God you really are gorgeous" I tell her just because I can. She lowers her head back down and curls back up into the side of my body.

"You don't need to keep telling me that either, no need to be a suck up" she says chuckling slightly. I slap her arm playfully with my hand before moving my hand to trail up and down her arm.

"NAOMI, HONEY THERES SOMEONE HERE TO SEE YOU." my mum shouts up the stairs. I glance at the clock 10 in the morning who the bloody hell could it be. Unless Effy. Shit.

"who do you think it is" Emily asks me not making any attempt to move to let me get up.

"OK MUM I'LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE" I shout back just to stop her coming up here.

I turn my attention back to Emily, I can't lie to her not after what I've just promised her.

"I have a fair idea who it might be…." I trail off as realisation seems to hit Emily.

"Effy" she states with slight bitterness.

"Look babe I really don't want to cause an argument I know she hit your sister over the head with a rock, but there's something everyone doesn't know about that night and if she needs me… I'm her friend Ems she trusts me believe it or not" I tell her struggling to explain myself.

"What is it everyone doesn't know that you seem to?" she asks not believing a word I'm saying. "and how do you know no-one's seen her." great I just said I didn't want to argue and now she's trying to start a fight. Time for me to be the bigger person instead of her I think.

"Emily I'm not about to wreck things with you over Effy and like I said I'm not arguing over this. I know no-one's seen her, I text her after she disappeared to make sure she was safe, she text back telling me she was safe and what really happened that night but told me not to tell anyone as she didn't want them to think it was her excuse for hitting Katie with a rock. She knew I wouldn't judge her. But I can't tell you, not because I don't want to break Effy's trust but because I don't want to piss Katie off and make your life more difficult. If you want to know you need to ask Katie yourself Ems. But Effy might need a friend." I tell her hoping she believes me.

Emily slowly nods her head seeming to accept what I've just said.

"Go on then but I'm staying here because if I see her I can't promise I won't want to kill her" Emily says after a couple of moments silence and rolling over so I can get up. I smile at her for being understanding.

I jump out of bed grab some trousers putting them on. I then turn my attention back to Emily. I walk back over to the bed, climbing on and leaning over her. She smiles at me and I lean down and kiss her slowly and fully trying so hard to show her how happy I am right now. After a second shes begins kissing me back bringing her hands up to my neck to hold me in place. I feel her run her tongue along my bottom lip asking me to open my mouth. Without hesitation I open my mouth letting her tongue in. I moan into her mouth as her tongue comes into contact with mine. After a few more seconds I pull back and smile down at her.

"I forgot to give you a good morning kiss earlier" I tell her with a smirk. She smiles at me so lovingly butterflies start up in my stomach. I change my smirk into a full smile hoping she sees everything in my eyes that I see in hers.

I climb of the bed and make my way to the door stopping as I reach I turn round and see Emily still smiling at me.

"I'll be back up soon beautiful" I tell her turning back and walking out the door.

"Okay, don't be too long because I might just have something for you when you come back." she shouts after me. I smile to myself as a make my way down the stairs. I walk into the kitchen to see Katie, cup off coffee in hand sitting at my table. What the fuck? I roll my eyes at her in annoyance but decide I better at least try to be nice.

"Sorry Katie my mum said someone was here to see me I'll go get Emily" I tell her turning to walk back out of the kitchen. She has no idea how hard that was to be nice to her.

"Wait?" she asks as I'm about to walk out. "I know Emily's here but it's you I wanted to talk to first" what the fucking hell? She's got to be shitting me. Right?

I turn back to her and see she's being completely serious.

"What do you want Katie? Because honestly it wasn't you I expected to see" I state flatly trying hard not to make a sarcastic remark or swear at her.

"I want exactly what I said I did to talk to you alright?" she says still completely serious but with a typical Katie glare.

"Look katiekins, as much as I would love to be part of this little bonding session you seem to have in mind, your sister is laying half naked in my bed and I would rather be up there with her than down here having a little bitching session with you. I know you're here to tell me to leave her alone and all that bollocks. So I'm only going to say this once. You can get fucked." I say hoping to get a rise out of her because I can't deal with her right now and my patience is running thin. Much to my surprise she doesn't make any attempt to fight back just glares at me more.

"Naomi" did she just call me by my first name? fuck me, Bristol's about to get snow. "just sit down will you for fuck sakes."
