Hey peoples. I finally finished writing this chapter after spending a week on writing the draft in my note book then another week writing it up on here. I found this chapter quite difficult to write so apologies if it's shit.
Thanks for the reviews for the last chapter, especially:
RebeccaLong: I can't promise that it'll end nicely ;) My exams went perfectly fine thank you, I got A in maths, B in English, B in Graphics, D in history (one mark of a c plus didn't finish paper) but I haven't got the marks back from my Art yet :) Thank you for the present, are you sure you don't need one?

neilaskins2009: Hello new reviewer, I am glad you are enjoying. You'll just have to wait and see about the flash back ;)
Chapter 9
I star up at the apartment like it's an alien spaceship, fucking hell, why am I so nervous? Naomi always makes me so fucking nervous; then again, I've never been on a date in about five years. Why did I agree to this? Oh right, because I need to do what it takes to get my hundred quid of Cook, including a fucking date! I can't understand how it happened. It was about a week after Naomi had kissed me in the copy room:
I walk out of my office getting ready to go home when I felt a hand grip tightly onto me. Before I can process what's happening, I'm being pulled into a room and pushed against a wall. I have just enough time to register bright, sparkling blue eyes staring at me until soft lips crash against mine. I slip my tongue into her mouth, letting it massage against her own. Her hand grabs my neck a pulls me into her, making the kiss deeper and more lustful. Naomi pulls away from me and smiles.
"I've wanted I do that all fucking day" I smile back at her then attach my lips to her neck, sucking and nibbling every so often. I guide her back until her knees hit a table and she lays back onto it, I climb on top of her and kiss her again, sucking on her bottom lip.
Ever since the kiss in the copy room, this has kind of been a regular thing for us. We've had heavy make out sessions anytime we see each other alone. The trouble is, that's all it is. Every time I slip my hand up her leg or down the waist band of her skirt, Naomi's hand would fly out and stop my hand, then she'd pull away from me, smile and walk out leaving me extremely horny and very frustrated.
A satisfied moan escapes Naomi's lips as I make my way down her jaw and neck. I smile into her neck, fuck yes, I may finally win the bet. I unbutton her blouse and kiss the newly exposed skin. I rock my hips into her as I let my hand travel up her skirt, inching closer to my destination. I unbutton more of her blouse and kiss down her stomach, causing another low moan to escape her lips.
Slowly, I move my hand closer, feeling the heat radiating of her core. I lightly trace her folds through her underwear. That's when she freezes, I move my hand out of her skirt and clamber off of her. I groan in frustration and pinch the bridge of my nose and take deep breaths.
"What's wrong?" Naomi asks. I open my eyes and move my hand away from my face, Naomi finishes doing up her buttons then stands up from the table.
"Fucking hell. This is what is wrong Naomi" Naomi looks at me confused " I don't get fucked around" I fuck around "You can't keep getting me all worked up like that, seeing you all hot and flustered gets me worked up just as much believe me. You can't do that!" Naomi walks up to me and places her hand on my shoulder, calming me instantly.
"Emily, I'm not doing that to you on purpose. I want to do this as much as you do, trust me... it's just I've never..." she trails of her face going bright red
My eyes widen "You're a virgin"
Naomi shakes her head "No, I'm not, I've just never done this with a girl. Plus, I normally have at least one date with them before I get to that stage of intimacy"
I nod my head in understanding. If I go on a date with her, I'm in with a chance of sleeping with her and claiming my all important prize.
"yes"
Naomi looks at me confused "What?"
"I'll go on the date with you" Naomi's face lit up making it even more beautiful than it already was.
"Great, come to mine on Thursday at 7:00?" I nod and watch as Naomi walks out of the room, a bounce evident in her step. I bite my lips and walk out in the opposite direction.
Three days. In three days, I would've won the bet and get on with my life, leaving all traces of Naomi behind me.
Is that really what I want?
I flick my bud away and crush with the heel of my converse. I pull my jacket around me tightly and shiver, even though there is no cold breeze and it's the middle of June. I take a deep breath and take a step forward. A light switches on, revealing a figure standing in the window on the first floor. The curtains get pulled back showing a brunette with piercing green eyes staring at me. Her eyes scan over my body before locking with my own, a satisfied smirk covers her perfect features. I smirk and wink at her before walking over to the intercom and buzzing Naomi's number.
Looks like I found my newest fuck I gaze back over to the window and see the girl still looking at me.
"Just a minute" Naomi's voice rings through the metal box, making me jump and turn away from my staring contest with the mysterious girl.
"Okay, I'll be down here...obviously" I reply. I look back over to where the girl was and see she's gone.
"Fucking weirdo" I mumble
"Who is?" I jump again and turn to see Naomi holding a basket. I take in her appearance and let my mouth drop. Black and white leggings cover her legs with a black skirt that stops just after her thighs. A black t-shirt with a printed pink skull on it falls on her torso with a grey blazer thrown over the top with he sleeves rolled up. Her hair hangs loosely around her shoulders, her eyes look brighter with black eyeliner and a little mascara applied. It makes me feel very underdressed in just a pair of black skinny jeans, white tank , red and black plaid shirt and my red converse.
AA smirk pulls on Naomi's face, she walks over to me and closes my mouth "You're drooling". I avert my eyes and blush...what? Did I just blush? What the actual fuck?
Naomi smiles at me then walks over towards a black SUV, motioning for me to follow her. She unlocks it and hops in easily. I open my door and sigh. The seat has to be so fucking high doesn't it? Naomi turns to me after hearing the sigh and stifles a laugh. I glare at her.
"Don't you fucking dare" I warn.
She bites her lip "Sorry, please don't get your gang of munchkins on me pretty please" she teases. I stick my middle finger up at her, this only spurs her on further.
"You must be a north pole elf" I grind my teeth as she starts to laugh. I pick at my nails as I wait for her to calm down.
"You done?" I ask
"Almost. I have my cousins step stools that he sues too reach the bathroom sink inside, do you want me to get it? How about his car seat?" She asks laughing again.
I give her the Fitch death glare, which is at its best use with Katie but mines just as good. She stops laughing and looks down ashamed. Yeah you should be bitch.
"Had enough now?" I ask, she nods her head "Good" despite the height, I still get in gracefully. A shocked look spreads across Naomi's features. I look at her pointedly.
Silently, she puts the car into gear and starts off down the road. I got shit in school about my height, the last thing I expected was to get teased like that by a fellow colleague. Fuck I sounded so dull then.
"Emily" I hear Naomi say, I keep my gaze fixed on the outside.
"I'm sorry" I scoff at her apology. I hear her sigh "I didn't realise that I offended you"
I look back at her "Well you did"
"I know and I'm-"
"I've gotten bullied at secondary school for my height. I got the shit taken out of me in college for it. I got pushed around by people because they thought that as I'm small, I can be walked all over. Then, finally I get a job and become highly successful and respected, but yet, I still get the shit ripped out of me on my first date since-" I catch myself before I reveal too much.
I see Naomi glance at me, waiting for me to finish.
"Since a few years back"
"How long?"
"'bout five years" I mumble
"Jesus" I hear Naomi breath out. My eyebrows furrow together.
"What?"
Naomi indicates and turns into a small village before looking over at me "I didn't think- I mean with all the people I heard you've been with, I just assumed you went on lots of dates"
I start laughing, Naomi sounded so innocent then and naive "I don't date those people. I just fuck them and get on with my life"
The car stops and I peer round, we seem to be in a secluded area, no other cars are seen around.
"Is that what you are doing with me?" Naomi asks, bitterness and pain evident in her voice. The question catches me off guard, she's smarter than I thought. I turn in my seat and see her staring back at me, face completely serious.
"No" Lie "I would never do that to you" Lie "You mean so much more to me than just a shag" lie...no truth... no lie...I don't know, I hope it is a lie. I smile at. Naomi, hoping she'll but my explanation. Her eyes study my face, soaking up every inch. I nervously bite my lip as she still stress at me with the same seriousness as before. She reaches into the backseat, bringing out a massive picnic basket. She slips out of the car, closes the door then walks round to the front. I watch as she carries on walking round to my side, holy crap, she knows I'm lying, she's going to yell at me – my thoughts were cut short (no pun intended) by Naomi opening the door and holding out her hand to me.
"M'lady" she says in a Victorian English accent, a smile evident on her face. I smile back and take her hand, hopping down out of the car.
"Thank you kind sir" I say, Naomi chuckles, closes the door then grabs my hand and strolls through the gates. I couldn't help but stare down at out linked hands, swinging between us loosely. They fit so perfectly together, I smile but then silently scold myself. No Emily, no thoughts like that
Naomi stops suddenly and pulls out a scarf. She looks at me expectantly. My eyes largen as I realise what she wants to do. I start to shake my head and back away from her. She steps towards me and eager smile on her face, I put my hands up defensively.
"No, No way" I say
"Oh come on Ems" I smile at the nickname and drop my hands. Naomi takes this opportunity and runs around me and quickly ties the scarf around my head, over my eyes.
"Naomi get this off!" I demand, I hear Naomi chuckle then feel her place her hands on my arms. I shiver at the touch.
"Not a chance, it'll ruin the surprise" she guides me forwards, I stumble, but Naomi quickly stops me and pulls me back flush against her body. I try not to realise that I can now feel her tits pressed against my back.
"I fucking hate surprises" I grumble. I hear Naomi laugh behind me. The last 'surprise' I got ended up with Cook having a broken nose. I was walking o my office when he jumped out from behind a plant. I screamed then punched him right in the nose and ended up breaking it. He had to wear a nose guard for a few weeks. I pissed myself laughing when I saw him, I didn't feel sorry at all-he deserved the sneaky bastard- I said he won't be able to get laid now, but he beg to differ. I bet him twenty quid he couldn't fuck a girl whilst he had his guard on.
I lost that twenty the first night. He ended up bedding a girl everyday with his nose guard on. I asked him how he did it, he replies 'No bird can resist Cookies charm, looks or no looks'. Turns out he told them he broke his nose saving as cat from a tree, apparently he fell out of the tree, landing on his face as he shield the cat from the impact of the fall. Those girls must've been so thick to believe him. He hated cats. I laughed at him for weeks.
I felt Naomi lead me up a hill until she stopped and loosened the scarf. Slowly, I moved it away from my eyes, gaping at what I saw in front of me.
We stood on a hill that overlooked the whole of Bristol. With he moon shining and the lights of Bristol turned on, it made a beautiful view. I gazed at Naomi who was smiling at me.
"It's beautiful"
Naomi nods and turns to face the landscape "I know. When I was in college, I used to walk here at night and gaze out at the view. It was peaceful, helped me clear my mind a lot"
We both stand there, looking over the scenery for a few minutes. I couldn't help but flick my eyes over to Naomi every so often. The light from the buildings really make her face look absolutely stunning. Yeah, Naomi is an attractive woman, why would Cook and I use her for the bet if she was a dog's dinner? But she looks so free and happy here.
"Come on, let's eat" Naomi smiles at me then lays down blanket and sits down, patting the space next to her indicating I sit down with her.
I smile and plop down next to her. She reaches into the basket and brings out a small hotel champagne bottle in an ice bucket and places it between us. I raise my eyebrows at her and smirk, Naomi smiles backs then lifts out a large dominoes pizza takeaway box. The scent of the might meaty fills my nostrils, I sigh gratefully. I start to laugh, earning a weird look from Naomi.
"I'm sorry, it's just... this is just perfect" I gesture around us. Naomi's face lights up as she digs her hand back into the basket.
"You haven't seen anything yet" she winks at me then brings out a heart shaped cake.
My eyes widen at it, butterflies fill my stomach.
Naomi laughs "Judging by your eyes, I'm guessing you like cake"
I nod watching Naomi take off the lid on it then cutting a slice.
"I guess that answers my next question"
"What?"
"Do you want dessert first?" she asks smiling before handing me a plastic plate with the cake slice on it.
I lie down on the blanket, patting my, now, full belly. Naomi lies down next to me, leaving with only our pinkie fingers touching.
"Jesus Em, for a small person you do eat a lot"
I chuck and proudly rub my stomach "Well, when you've lived with my mum's cooking for eighteen years, you learn to eat as much edible food you can get"
"That bad huh?"
"Yep" I say making a popping sound on the 'p'
A few minutes of silence fall upon us. I've never spoken about my mum in any kind of way to anyone. It felt really strange, exchanging stories.
"Emily, what happened with Ben?"
I stiffen at his name, it still hurts to hear it, my face stings at the mention of him. I feel Naomi take hold of my hand.
"You have to tell me if you don't want to" she whispers. I shake my head and take a deep breath.
"I'll tell you"
So guys, I thought I'd leave it there, keep the anticipation growing.
As some of you may know, the 'date' was an actual planned date by Lily Loveless she talks about in an interview, which at the end Kathryn motions between them while saying to Lily 'that was us' so I decided to use it as it was really sweet.
Also, the pointed look Emily gives Naomi is the same one she gives to Katie in Effy's episode in season 3 when she tries to stop Emily from eating the shrooms Effy had found but Emily gives her the look and walks on.
I'll try to keep updating once a week.
Review!
Cheers xx
