Chapter Twenty Six

The following day

Naomi

We were back at work, it was a drag getting out of bed this morning but it was only one day until the weekend. Emily was up in my office with me and we were deciding which of the photos Emily took the other day into the article I had written. I was dragging out my decisions for longer than I really needed and I think Emily just twigged onto it as she leant her body over me a little lower than before knowing full well she was driving me crazy, she smirked "I know what you are up to."

I stroked the back of her hand that was resting on my desk "And what is that?"

She smiled "You're dragging out your decisions; I just haven't quite worked out why."

I glanced across at her as she shifted slightly, her top moving a little revealing a small amount of skin around her waist, I couldn't help but run a finger across the exposed skin making Emily shiver "Maybe because the longer I take to make decisions the longer I get to have you in the office with me."

She turned round and pushed my chair backwards sliding her body onto mine so she was sitting on me, she kissed me softly "Well maybe if I distract you it will take just that little bit longer."

"Now that sounds good to me." I pulled her lips onto mine again quickly making the kiss passionate. I ran my tongue along her lips and Emily quickly granted me the entry I desperately wanted. Our tongues duelled as the passion continued to grow between us. We only broke apart when Effy came bursting through the door "Oh fucking hell, can you two ever keep your hands and other body parts off one another."

Emily laughed "Eff just look at her and then answer your own question."

I smiled and kissed her softly "You just took the words right out of my mouth, when you are with someone so hot it's hard to keep your hands off."

Effy rolled her eyes but I could see she was smiling at the same time "You two are just sickly cute but I love seeing you so fucking happy. Anyway I don't want to burst your bubble but Katie is outside, I will send her away if you want Emily."

Emily stood up and I reached out to take her hand, she smiled before turning to Effy "No, its ok Effy, let her come in."

Effy smiled slightly before turning to walk out the room. I wrapped my arm around Emily and turned her to me, I kissed her softly "You sure about this?"

She nodded "Yeah, I need to do this."

I kissed her softly again "Ok, remember though I'm with you every step of the way."

She smiled "I know."

At that moment Katie tentatively stepped into the room, Emily turned around when she heard the door close. I kept a tight hold on her hand "The receptionist downstairs said you were up here Emily."

She nodded "Yeah, Naomi and I had some work to do together."

Katie looked to me and then back to Emily "Emily can we talk, I really want to talk and try, if I can to make things right with you."

Emily shook her head slowly and I saw the worry flash in Katie's eyes before Emily answered "Not here Katie, we can talk but this is not the place. Come round for dinner at ours tomorrow night and we will talk then." She grabbed a piece of paper and a pen from my desk and scribbled the address down "Here, I don't know where you are staying but this is our address, come round at about 7pm tomorrow."

Katie smiled "I'll be there; I will let you get on." She turned to leave but turned back as she opened the door "Thanks Emily, I will prove to you that I am serious."

She left and closed the door not pressuring Emily. Emily turned to me and I enveloped her in my arms. I softly kissed the top of her head "You ok?"

She nodded her head slowly against my chest "Yeah."

She pulled back and smiled "Come on let's get this article finished."

I sat back at my desk and began looking through the photos "You make it so hard to choose they are all fucking fantastic."

She smiled "Well I can't make it too easy for you."

I laughed and finally within the next 10 minutes I chose the pictures to use. As I made the final edits to the article I couldn't help but think that Emily could do a lot more with her photos, I knew she could be really successful with a push in the right direction.

The following day

It was nearly 7pm; I had put the dinner in the oven a while ago so it would be ready to avoid any awkwardness in the beginning. Emily was pacing the lounge; nervous was an understated way to describe how she was feeling. I finished setting the table and walked over to her taking both her hands in mine "Em, it is all going to be ok, by the end of tonight you will have a better idea if Katie is being genuine and if she's not you will be able to draw a line under it all, and Katie may have a few bruises." She laughed slightly as I kissed her forehead "Whatever happens though Em I will be with you every step of the way."

She kissed my lips softly "Thanks."

Just then the doorbell rang, I kissed Emily's cheek "You go get that, I'll sort dinner out so we can sit straight down to eat then you can talk afterwards."

An hour later

We had just finished dinner, it had been very quiet and a little awkward but hopefully some progress would be made now. Katie had been attempting to make small talk but Emily wasn't interested, I know she didn't want to give anything away to Katie and I could tell she just wanted to get through the meal and then they could talk properly and she could work out if Katie was being serious. I stood to clear the table as Katie smiled "That was lovely, thanks Naomi." She began to stand "Let me help you clear up."

Emily stood "No it's ok Katie, go make yourself comfortable in the lounge I'll get you another glass of wine."

Emily followed me into the kitchen and poured us all another drink. "Em, do you want to talk to Katie alone, I will give you some space if that's what you want."

She smiled "No Naoms, I want you here, you are a part of this and if Katie doesn't like that its tough shit."

I couldn't help but laugh as Emily handed me a glass and we went to join Katie in the lounge. I sat with Emily on the sofa opposite the chair Katie was sitting on. It was Katie that started the conversation "Emily I'm sorry for just turning up the other day and expecting you to accept me back into your life like nothing bad ever happened. I guess I was just excited about the fact I had managed to find you after those few years. I got carried away, I really am sorry and I just want you back in my life."

Emily looked at me and I took her hand as she turned back to Katie "Katie you really hurt me and I'm not talking about the other day, I'm talking about back in Bristol I know you didn't exactly like the fact that I was gay but I still thought you would support me. What mum said and did that day really hurt, it almost felt like she might as well have picked up a knife and plunged it into my heart and you didn't do anything, you just sat there with Dad and let her carry on, and that hurt more than what mum did. When I first came down here I felt so low, I would stand on the bridges over the river and look down at the water wondering if it would just be easier to end it all. Do you know what though I decided to pick myself up and carry on and eventually climbed out of the black hole it felt like I was in and I did something with my life, I had my job at the club and I had my flat. It was only when I met Naomi that I truly felt happy again, she was the one that made my life really worth it again."

I squeezed her hand as I noticed a tear roll down her cheek. I looked over to Katie and was a little surprised to see tears falling from her eyes too, I think she was now realising how much she had hurt Emily "I know I can't change anything from the past Emily and I know words can't make up for anything either but I want you to know I really am sorry. I was a bitch back then, I probably still am and I should have stuck up for you with mum, I shouldn't have let you put up with that but all I could think back then was that mum would love me the best now, I know selfish bitch but when I realised that you had gone for good and not just for a few days it really hit me what I had done, and it really hit me that I had lost my twin sister. I really started to resent mum and we would fight, I blamed her for you leaving even though it wasn't just her, I knew I had played my part too. I thought about looking for you but didn't know where to begin so just got even angrier with mum. Eventually I moved in with Panda for a while until I got a job and rented my own place. I still see dad and James, well mum too but it generally ends in an argument. It was only when I saw that photo I had hope and I knew I had to come find you. I want you back in my life Emily; I want us to start again."

Emily smiled slightly although a few tears were still slipping from her eyes "Katie if I give you the chance you are looking for there are a few things you need to agree to." She paused and Katie nodded "Ok, well you have to accept Naomi is part of my life, she is the girl I am getting married to and I am not having you give her a hard time. I am gay Katie and nothing is ever going to change that."

Katie nodded "Emily I don't care that you are gay and I'm sorry that it took you leaving to make me realise that. If Naomi makes you happy then I am happy because I just want you to be happy."

Emily smiled and I squeezed her hand "Ok, well there is one more thing I do not want mum or dad knowing anything about you finding me, I don't want to see them."

Katie nodded "I won't tell them I promise, I will do anything Emily I just want you to give me a chance."

Emily looked round to me; I could see her searching my eyes to see what I was thinking. I smiled "Em I just want you to be happy, this has to be your decision but you know I will support you with whatever you decide."

She smiled and kissed her softly before turning back to Katie "Katie I will give you a chance, I want a relationship with my twin sister but I cannot be hurt again, I just can't."

Katie smiled "I promise Emily I won't hurt you, I can't promise we won't argue because we always did growing up but I promise I will not hurt you like that again. I am not going to lose you again Emily."

Emily got up and hugged Katie "Let's take it slow Katie, start from the beginning."

Katie nodded "Yeah. Can I ask you something though Emily?"

She nodded "Of course you can."

Katie smiled "Would you mind if I moved to London, I know you said slow but I don't want the distance between us anymore."

Emily smiled "That sounds ok to me."

Katie smiled "I'll start looking tomorrow for a place to stay."

Emily smiled again "Do you want another drink?"

Katie nodded "Please."

Emily went off to the kitchen to get the drinks leaving Katie and I, I knew Emily could still hear us as we talked "Katie I'm pleased that Emily is giving you the chance. I want her to have you in her life but I want to know I will make you pay if you ever hurt her again."

Katie nodded "I know and I meant it when I said I wouldn't hurt her. I'm glad she found you Naomi, I really am."

Emily came back into the room as Katie replied "I'm fucking glad I found her to, I really am."

She gave Katie her drink and came and sat with me handing me mine, she kissed me softly "Thank you, I love you."

I smiled knowing what she meant "I love you too."
