Next eventful 24 hours - Chapter 9
"Katie call us if you need us." Emily shouted after her sister from my front door.
The three of us had walked back to mine in silence. Katie had decided not to come in, saying she wanted to be on her own. Emily reluctantly agreed to let Katie go off on her own after I had reassured Emily she was a big girl and could take care f herself.
"Come on Fitch let's get you inside." I said as I turned to Emily. She smiled and nodded her head. I opened the door gesturing for Emily to go in first holding said door open. I received a scoff for my efforts and some teasing about trying to be a real gentleman.
"Hello girls" My mum greets us as we walk in.
Kieran walks out f the kitchen and stands behind her.
"Hello ladies." he greets us in his thick Irish accent.
I turn to look at Emily's face because I know her reaction to seeing our politics teacher here is going to be priceless. I'm right. My girl has a look of shock, confusion and disbelief plastered across her face. I chuckle lightly. She turns to me throwing me a 'what the fuck' look which I find incredible adorable.
"Ems when you look all confused you look really adorable" I inform her.
I'm very aware of my mum cooing at us in the background. Emily ignores my teasing still sporting her 'what the fuck' look succeeding in me bursting out laughing.
I give her a shove in the direction of the stairs and she gets the hint. She walks towards the stairs and I follow behind her.
"Naomi have you got a second?" My mum asks me from behind us. I groan loudly.
"Fucking hell" I mumble to myself and Emily digs me in the ribs for it.
"Yeah Mum." I answer her because I know she'll just follow me up the stairs. "Go up Em's I'll be there in a second." I tell Emily leaning forward over her shoulder and placing a light kiss on her cheek.
My mum waits until Emily has walked up the stairs and has heard my bedroom door close before she speaks.
"I just wanted to ask if everything is alright love?" my mum asks with a small smile. Kieran's run off to fuck knows where. Took off as soon as my mum mentioned talking to me.
"Oh yeah Mum, everything's great. Emily's mum has all but disowned her. There was some bloke in her kitchen that seemed to scare the crap out of Katie. And believe me that isn't an everyday occurrence. And who ever that bloke was, Rob, Emily's Dad , fucking hated him. So yeah thanks never better." I answer her sarcastically.
Then suddenly it hits me. Despite my sarcasm I just told my mum what was going on. I never ever do that. Normally I would have just thrown some witty insult at her. But today I actually let her in. I inform her of the situation. It's still done Naomi Campbell style, in the most sarcastic way possible. But I've opened up. Bloody hell Emily Fitch what are you doing to my ice queen reputation.
My mum smiles at me encouragingly. Like she's silent praising my for my acknowledgment of the situation.
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asks softly.
"Right now, all I want to do is go and make sure Emily's okay." I answer honestly.
"Okay love, go check on that girl of yours."
I nod and again head for the direction of the stairs.
"Naomi?"
Jesus Christ now what does she want? Just because I was nice the first time doesn't mean I will be a second time. I turn back around to face my mum again.
"Are you okay though honey? I don't mean everything in general. I mean you?" she asks.
I nod and through a smile her way.
"I know your scared Naomi. I'm not stupid. I know that none of this shit has been about Emily being a girl. I know all the confusion wasn't about your sexuality, but confusion about love itself. That girl is besotted by you. Look after her okay? Don't be a prick." Mum tells me seriously.
I stare at her gob smacked for a few seconds. Am I really that transparent? If my mum and Effy can see it who else can? But then I remember that Effy is just a freak of nature that can actually tell you what your going to say before you even know yourself. And my mum has seen enough shit in this world to have become very wise and perceptive. Specifically when it comes to her own daughter. Me.
"Your right mum, I am scared. But I'm not confused anymore. Well not about Love. I. love. Her. I can't promise not to be a prick because fucked up situations just seem to find me. But I can promise that I won't run away from her anymore. I'll look after her I swear it." I reply back because what's the point in denying it. She knows she's right. I can see it shining in her eyes.
"Okay darling. That's all I wanted to hear. But Naomi if you get scared and decide you need to run, run to me. Because then I can beat the shit out of you and send you back to Emily. Okay?"
I know this is my mums way of saying she's here for me without actually saying it. We've never really done heart to hearts. Probably never will. She knows that usually when ever she gets all deep and meaningful I take off. So this is her roundabout way of telling me that she here for me. I smile at her.
"Okay. And Mum, I might want to talk about it all later." I reply turning back around and starting to walk up the stairs.
"You know where to find me sweetie."
I walk into my room to find Emily with her back to the door, staring out of my bedroom window. I lean against the doorframe and watch her for a minute or so. I'm once again knocked sideways by how beautiful she is. I can't help but stare at her. I'll never get bored of looking at her. I physically can't stop looking at her.
I walk up behind her and wrap my arms around her waist. She automatically leans back against me sliding her hands down my arms.
I lean down and place my lips against the base of her neck, leaving light loving kisses in a trail up to her ear. She exhales unsteadily as I kiss below her ear lob.
"You really are breathtakingly beautiful." I whisper into her ear.
I blush spreads across her cheeks as she smiles genuinely.
"You don't have to keep telling me that. Because I'm not." she answers softly but quietly.
"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. And my breath catches in my throat every time I walk into a room to see you standing there." I whisper into her ear again.
I'm almost sure I'm blushing at my own revelation. But fuck it. I don't care. Because I want her to believe me. I don't ever want her to belittle herself or feel self-conscious. Especially around me.
"Who are you? And what have you done with Naomi Campbell?" Emily teases me.
"I am Naomi Campbell." I answer with a smirk. Although she can't see my face I know that'll she'll know I'm smirking. She knows everything I'm thinking. Or doing. It's actually quite unnerving.
"You sure? 'cause the one I know would never have admitted that?" she carries on teasing, and now I can hear the smirk in her voice.
"Yeah well maybe I'm the slightly new and improved Naomi Campbell."
Emily doesn't answer me, just leans back against me trying to get impossibly closer.
"Ems?" I ask after a few minutes silence.
"Hmm?"
"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask gently not wanting to upset her.
Emily turns in my arms so she's facing me and seems to study my face for a few seconds obviously trying to read my expression. Although fuck knows what she's looking for.
"I dunno. Maybe. I just wasn't sure if…. Well….. I thought that maybe….." she answers looking sheepish whilst stumbling over her words.
"You weren't sure if what Hun?" I prompt her.
"I just wasn't sure that if talking about it would have a negative effect on you. I mean, this is probably already a lot for you to deal with and I don't want to scare you off." Emily answers me honestly and I can see the worry in her eyes. She's worried about my reaction to this information.
"Emily?" I say her full name so I know I'll get her full attention.
"Yeah?"
"You don't have to down play situations for my sake. Well not anymore. You can talk to me about anything, everything, whatever you want to. I meant what I said last night. I'm not going anywhere." I reassure her. "So do you want to talk about it?" I ask again.
"Maybe. I do have something to ask you though." Emily replies as she reaches forward and wraps her arms around my neck.
"Go on then." I urge her.
"What the fucking hell is our politics teacher doing in your house?"
I chuckle at her question.
"He seeing my mum." I explain.
"Really?"
"Yep."
"Do you not find that like weird? Or disturbing or I dunno. Just strange?" she asks me while scrunching her nose up.
"Nope, because nothing can be weirder than when he tried to kiss me." I reply.
Anger washes over her face.
"He what?" she asks whilst removing her arms from around my neck.
I grab her hands and slide her arms back around my neck.
"Ages ago. Forget about it." I answer before leaning in and giving her a chaste kiss on the lips.
I pull away and watch her as she seems to struggle with something.
"What's the matter Ems?"
"I do want to talk about it. But I think Katie should be here." Emily explains.
"Okay, so do you want to go and find Katie?" I ask.
"Not yet. Can we just stay here for a bit? Just me and you?" she asked sweetly.
And really how can I refuse? I've never been able to say no to her.
"Course we can." I reply sending her a smile whilst I take her hand and lead her over to the bed.
There we have it chapter 9. This was originally going to be about 10 chapters, but now I think it's going to be slightly longer. I'm also really sorry if there are any mistakes, but I like a real dickhead wrote this straight after writing the latest chapter of complicated life and wrote the whole thing in 3rd person before realising. So I had to re-write it. Lol. Anyway Let me know by hitting that button below. Thoughts/comments/predictions. I'm happy to hear whatever you've got to say. Thanks for reading. All mistakes are mine.
