Chapter 19

I got out of bed bright and breezy the next morning. I had a surprise date (well surprise location for me anyway) with Ems later, and although the unit night out had been a complete fucking shambles, I knew I wouldn't be in there much longer and I could get back to some semblance of my usual job. Well, until the next assignment came along that is. I really was going to have think about what I was going to do with my life.

I burnt off some energy by going for a run. I looked at the sky and saw the dark clouds coming in over the Mersey as I ran down the promenade at the river's edge. Uh oh. Emily said it needed to be nice weather. Hopefully it'd blow over. I ran home, had a shower, got changed and headed for my car. Hopefully the fucker would start. Once they started to breakdown was the time to get rid if possible.

It took some persuasion and swearing on my part, but I got the car started and headed out to the local Ford garage. I'd made my mind up over the something black, big and butch and they sold it. I'd neatly avoided the arsehole salesman you always get as a woman. You know the type, all smarm, dodgy aftershave and so called charm. The guy had more ooze than a fucking slug. I spotted a female sales person and headed for her. I was a bit of a bloke when it came to shopping. Knew what I wanted and didn't spend all day going to every shop in the area before going back to the first shop and getting the first thing I'd tried on.

One test drive later and I was in love. An hour later and I'd managed to get my old car (heh, love saying things like that!) back to my car park. I was the proud owner of a Ford Kuga 4x4, in black with all the gadgets and gizmos you could think of. I'd get to pick it up next week. Mint. I planned picking it up and taking Emily out in it. It had a huge bonnet that was perfect was lying back and stargazing on, and a nice big boot that was big enough for weekend away gear, and whoa, this was me planning loads of future stuff. And...nope... I wasn't freaking out.

I threw the car brochures on my coffee table and checked my watch. Excellent. 1pm. Just enough time to tidy up and make sure everything's tidy and sorted in the flat sorted. I checked around, cup of coffee in hand. Yup. All good. Bedroom tidy. Check. Living room tidy. Check. Matching underwear on? Check. Right, chill out time until she arrived.

My phone buzzed and I quickly checked it. Effy's text made me laugh.

"Stop walking around the living room sweating you dopey twat. Chill out and just be yourself. Talk to you tomorrow. X"

I looked out of the big glass doors that led to my small balcony and noticed the drizzle coming down. Ah bollocks. Didn't Em's say that we needed decent weather? I'm guessing rain was not on her list of decent weather. I was just washing my empty coffee when there was a knock on the door, right on cue.

I checked it was Em's through my spy hole (Come on, what type of copper would I be if I just opened the door without checking?) and swung the door open. Wow, she looked, I dunno... Pissed off? ...upset? I smiled at her until she gave me a little smile back.

"Hey."

"Hey yourself. Come in Ems" I gestured her into the hallway and noticed the large basket she was carrying.

"I'm sorry Naoms, I'd prepared a nice picnic for us, and I was going to take us you to a favourite place of mine after you took me to your favourite thinking spot the other day, but it's in the open and we'd get pissed on." She gestured at the weather. I smiled.

"Weeellllll. It would be a shame to waste that food." I pointed at the basket and slowly walked towards her. She nodded and mumbled at me. I thought quickly, and realised I had the perfect solution. "Why don't we have a carpet picnic?"

Emily looked at me quizzically "I've got a couple of blankets around here somewhere. I can open the doors and we'll get fresh air in. It'll almost be like being outdoors, but not, if you see what I mean." I bent down slightly and kissed her gently. "And hello."

I left my lips on her forehead as she put her free arm around my waist.

"Hi Naoms" My stomach let out the most inappropriate growl and Emily laughed and looked up through her eyelashes at me. Fuck, she had beautiful eyes. They looked like you could see every emotion she felt. She grabbed my hand and dragged me over to the balcony doors.

"Come on then tiger, you open the doors and grab those blankets and I'll feed you".

And that's what we'd done. The blankets were sprawled out on the floor, with the remains of the fantastic picnic Emily had put together in that basket strewn out over my floor. The drizzle continued outside, causing that gorgeous smell when everything is woken up by rain hitting it. I loved that smell, everything was clean and fresh.

I'm sprawled on my back with one hand under my head and the second playing with Emily's hair. She's lying at a right angle to me, with her head on my stomach, using it for a pillow and was gently dozing. We'd talked about everything yet again. I'd even told her about how much it really hurt when Sue took my dog and how much I'd love to get a new one, but my living alone wasn't fair on any animal. I'd even let her take the piss over my excitement for my new car, although she eventually admitted it was lovely and that when I picked it up she was going to demand we take it on the picnic she'd planned for today.

I was happily picking up strands of her hair and lazily letting them fall when she rolled onto her side, sat up and moved to hover over me, nuzzling into my neck, kissing every part of my skin she could reach.

"This was a pretty great idea Naoms" she mumbled and continued kissing any exposed skin she could reach. I laughed and supported her weight with my hands on her hips. "You know this is technically this could be classed as our third date?

"S'going well then Em's" I mumbled, deciding to kiss as much of her as I could find. She'd had the right idea; she tasted of heaven and promises of much more to come. She lay fully on top of me and we started to kiss in earnest. Fuck me she could turn me on with those kisses. Her hands were on my t-shirt, trying to pull it up, but sadly that wasn't going to work being as I was lying on the fucking thing. I sat up, causing Emily to squawk and tumble off me.

I laughed quietly. "Sorry Ems, you want this off?" I pointed to my shirt and she nodded. I shrugged my shirt off and sat back waiting for her approval. She stalked me. Fucking stalked me like a jungle cat as she moved forward and traced my skin with her fingers. I was convinced she had some sort of lighter in those finger tips they were tracing fire on my skin. She traced some of the scars I had on my body and looked up at me.

"Dangerous job is it pushing pens in an office?"

Twatting hell, I had to think sharp for a minute. "Nah, but I've had some dodgy hobbies babe, scars are a hazard." I managed to distract her (I think) by tugging her top over her head and kissing the valley between her breasts. Ah fuck, I was regally screwed. She tasted so good and smelled so fine; I think I was going to be addicted to the feel of her forever. Then there were the little noises she was making as I unhooked her bra and attacked her breasts with a real passion. Her hands were still tracing patterns over my back as I worshiped her breasts. Kissing, sucking and nibbling at her nipples. I pulled back for a moment and looked up at her.

"Ems, you sure about this?" Fuck me and my fucking knight in shining twatting armour, holier than though 'I'm honourable' attitude. Her eyes were dark with desire. I was guessing the answer was yes, but wanted to make sure.

"Fucking hell Naoms, make love to me before I fucking explode will you?"

So I did. I gently placed her on the blankets and covered her with my body, kissing and undressing her as I slowly worked my way down her body, managing to get myself undressed as I went.

When I gently entered her and stroked her until she screamed out her release, I think I lost myself for a moment. This was perfect, it was perfect, and it was all I could think about. This was making love, not just fucking like two animals in heat. I held her as she shuddered out the last of her climax and kissed her temple. She sighed and curled into my side. Both of us quiet and breathing heavy. I managed to pull a blanket over us and we lay there for a few minutes.

Emily threw a leg over mine and sighed. "Jesus Naoms" she sighed again. Shit. Was I shite? Did she not like it? I thought she did. Ah fuck, I was shit wasn't I? Naomi 'shit in bed' Campbell. Fuck fuck fuck.

"You're fucking perfect you know that?" She reached up and kissed me. Ah, maybe not shit then. Cool, I could live with that. And there goes her hand...

"I think I need to return the favour Prince Charming" and that was it, she set about her business with a determined look on her face as she, quite frankly ravished my body. Fucking hell, she WAS a firecracker. Screaming out as I came I found myself wrapped up in her strong embrace. Jesus, for someone so small, she was pretty strong. I came down to Earth slowly and just nuzzled into her neck as I lay there contented, Emily dropping little kisses onto my head and those hands...those hands of hers were still setting fire to my skin.

I lifted my head up and kissed her button nose. Giving her an Eskimo kiss into the bargain.

"You're pretty damned perfect yourself Cinders" I put my head down and dozed for a few minutes. Content to bask in our after sex glow.
