Here is the next chapter of this, it's another short one. Thanks a lot to the people that have reviewed this and added this to their favourites and alerts. I am really enjoying writing this as it is going to be more light hearted than my other story.


Chapter Two

One Week Later

Naomi

I didn't see much of Saturday last week, I lost count of the number of drinks I had and I certainly did feel rough when I did wake up during the afternoon. I had stumbled in and out of the shower hoping it would help… it fucking didn't. I checked my phone and had a message from Cook

'Afternoon Blondie, fucking ace night last night, the hot red head has put our pic up, check it out.'

I started up my laptop and had a look as I drank my fourth coffee… it wasn't a bad photo… normally I hate photos of myself but I actually didn't mind this one, I actually look human even though I was pissed… the girl behind the camera certainly had talent… it made me wonder why she was working in a bar.


It was Friday again today and apparently we were going out again tonight… I knew better than to try and argue and I did have a good time last week… I had even printed the picture out and put in in a frame on my desk to remind me of the good times… and so the office didn't think I was always a boring cow, but every time I looked at the photo it was an image of the red head behind the camera that popped into my mind… I just couldn't seem to forget those gorgeous brown eyes and I couldn't help but wonder if I would see her again tonight.


A Few Hours Later

My doorbell rang and I grabbed my bag knowing it would be Cook and Effy picking me up. Cook whistled as I opened the door "Looking good Blondie."

I blushed slightly as he linked my arm and the three of us made our way to the club. It was buzzing again like last week and it only took a few drinks for the dancing to begin this week… I was really starting to enjoy myself in London now… really starting to feel like it was home, my new start was really working… a good job… a couple of really good friends and some fun back in my life.

I was dancing with Effy when I caught sight of her… the red head with the gorgeous brown eyes, she was about with her camera again… she must have caught me looking as she flashed me a smile, I smiled back trying not to blush… I couldn't understand what was going on… I am straight so why am I responding like this to a girl.

I was brought out of my confusion when Effy tapped me on the shoulder "Have you seen Cook trying it on with that red headed girl again… he tries it on every week and gets knocked back every week, you would think he would have got the fucking message by now."

I felt a pang of jealousy as I saw the red head laughing at something Cook had said before she walked off and went back behind the bar. Cook walked back over "She's gagging for some love from the Cookie monster… she just won't admit it."

I smiled "In your dreams Cook, in your fucking dreams… I'm off to the bar for drinks, I'll be back soon."

I walked away towards the bar deliberately heading for where the red head was working. She smiled as she walked over to me "Hi, what can I get you?"

I swallowed hard before ordering drinks, her voice sent a shiver down my spine, I could honestly say I could listen to her talking all day. As she poured out the drinks I took my opportunity to strike up a conversation "I'm sorry about my friend… I hope he wasn't giving you too much hassle earlier."

She must have known who I was talking about as she laughed "Oh him… he's no bother, I keep telling him he will have to lose some body parts and wear a dress before he will see any interest from me… I think he sees it all as a challenge."

I felt my cheeks flush slightly "You're gay?"

The red head nodded "Yeah!"

I laughed "It will definitely be a challenge then, he will be hoping he can convert you."

She laughed "Well he can keep trying… he won't get very far." She paused as she lifted the drinks onto the bar "I'm Emily by the way."

I smiled as I passed her the money "Nice to meet you Emily, I'm Naomi."

She passed me my change and our fingers brushed together, it felt like a surge of electricity bolting through my body. I quickly dropped the change into my bag breaking our gaze as I picked up the drinks "It was nice to meet you Emily… see you around." Before she had chance to reply I rushed off with the drinks even more confused than I had been before…


Emily

I couldn't help but notice that my gorgeous blonde was back again…I was trying so hard but I couldn't help but keep stealing glances, I just couldn't keep my eyes away from her, and I will just add she looked fucking sexy when dancing… I just wish it had been me dancing alongside her. Her friend tried chatting me up again and she very cutely apologised for him and I didn't think things through when I replied and told her I was gay… I couldn't help but see the shock flash across her face and I thought I had lost her then but I was wrong… fucking thankfully. I quickly introduced myself and learnt her name in return… Naomi, a gorgeous name for a gorgeous girl… a name I would not forget in a hurry… even ever. I think I can honestly say I have never felt like this before, especially for a complete stranger… my heart was racing so fast when our fingers brushed together, the feelings that rushed through my body were incredible. I felt my cheeks flush and I was sure she had felt something to but then she rushed away so quickly I must have been wrong… story of my fucking life, the ones I actually liked never felt the same… maybe my family were right, I was destined to be on my own because of the choices I made in my life.

I looked over to where she was sitting; she was looking back but quickly looked away when she saw me looking. I took a deep breath before continuing with work resigning myself to the fact nothing would ever happen between us…
