Here is the next chapter of this, I have just written chapter 12 of this and I am still really really enjoying writing this. I would like to thank people for the reviews they have written, I love reading them and thanks to the people that have added this to their favourites and alerts, it means a lot. This one is another short one but hopefully things will start progressing between the girls soon...

Chapter Six

Emily

I felt like I was on cloud nine as I continued walking towards my flat … it had taken all I had to not just push Naomi up against the wall of her office block and claim her lips with mine again… she was the most beautiful girl I have ever known and I really think I was falling for her… it was driving me fucking crazy but I wouldn't do anything because Naomi and I had agreed to be friends and if that was the only way I could have her in my life it would have to work however fucking crazy it drove me.

The couple of hours we had just shared over coffee were two of the best hours of my life, she really was amazing company and getting to know one another the way we did really broke through the nerves we were both feeling… I still feel really bad about snapping at her but I think she genuinely accepted my apology as she wanted to meet up again… my heart was beating like crazy when she asked me about lunch, I wanted to spend all the time with her that I could… I didn't really have many friends in London, I guess that's what happens when you keep yourself to yourself most of the time.

Once home I flopped onto the sofa and let the memories of coffee with Naomi flood my head… I kept picking up my phone to text her but only kept putting it back down again… not wanting to bother her at work, well that's what I told myself anyway, I guess the real reason was I didn't want to scare her away… I made a mental note to do it this evening before going to work.

Naomi

She looked up as I flopped into the chair opposite her desk "I'm serious Eff, you've got to fucking help me."

She smiled a little in her usual Effy way "Things went that well huh."

I rolled my eyes "This isn't fucking funny Eff… I honestly think they were two of the best hours of my life… she's so fucking cute, and her lips… they're so fucking kissable, and don't even get me started on her voice."

Effy looked directly at me "So tell her how you feel."

Everything sounded so simple when she said it like that but in my brain everything felt so fucked up "I can't Eff… I'm so… I'm so fucking confused… I always thought I was straight… oh shit I fucking hate this."

Effy smiled "Naomi it's not about labels, you can't help who you fall for, whether they are male or female… it's about feelings not about what gender they are."

I looked into her eyes "I'm not falling for her… Oh fuck who am I trying to kid… I really am fucking falling for her."

Effy smiled "Well then I think you know what you need to do."

I shook my head "I can't Eff… I can't tell her, I really hurt her when I ran off after kissing her… I can't risk telling her and losing her as a friend if she rejects me… if I can only have her in my life as a friend I will just have to cope with that as it's better than nothing at all…Fuck Eff, why do I always have to screw things up."

She walked around her desk and hugged me "It will all work out in the end Naomi… trust me."

The rest of the afternoon was a blur, I didn't get any work done, my thoughts kept drifting to Emily and what it would be like to have her body pressed against mine… I really had to stop thinking like that…it wasn't going to happen, I had fucked that up as usual by being a fucking coward. I kept checking my phone… Emily said she would text me, I considered texting her but chickened out every time… she said she would text me so had to trust that she would… the wait was just killing me.

Emily

I was pacing the lounge with my phone in my hand, I had an hour until work and I knew I needed to text Naomi… I finally decided it was now or never…

'Hi Naomi, I had a fantastic time today. Thanks for putting up with me. E x'

30 seconds later my phone beeped, I smiled seeing Naomi's name on my screen

'Me too, was lovely getting to know you. You still up 4 Sunday? N x'

I smiled as I replied

'Yeah definitely, can't wait. E x'

The reply came through quickly again

'Can't wait either. I'm thinking Italian…I know a great place. I'll pick you up if you don't mind me knowing where you live. N x'

I didn't think my smile could stretch any further

'Italian sounds good… my address is 10 Wood Street, not far from your office. E x'

My phone beeped almost instantly

'Pick you up at 1. Thanks, Eff will know where it is, she knows everything… I'll get directions off her. N x'

I quickly replied

'Brilliant, looking forward to seeing you… off to work now, see you Sunday. E x'

I smiled at her reply

'Don't work too hard… see you Sunday. N x'

I honestly didn't think I could feel any happier right now, I grabbed my bag and walked to the club with a huge spring in my step.
