Ok so first off I am really sorry it has been over a week since I updated this, work has been crazy and I've been working through not being well so absolutely shattered by the time I have got home but I have been off today so before I go to bed here it is, the next chapter, I don't really know what to say about it so I will just let you read it.

Chapter Thirty Three

Two Weeks Later

Emily

I looked through the window of Naomi's office, I couldn't help but smile she always looked so cute when she was concentrating, actually who am I kidding she always looked cute but extra cute when concentrating. I took a deep breath as I opened the door; I knew Naomi would be able to tell something was going on as soon as she saw me. She looked up and smiled but her face soon dropped. She pushed her chair back quickly and patted her knee "What's happened babe?"

I sat on her knee and enjoyed the feeling of Naomi's arms around me holding me close. I took another deep breath "Mark wants me to go away up to Scotland for a week to do a shoot for an article the paper is writing. It is going to involve travelling around taking photos and gathering information to complete the article. I am going with Cook as apparently he has the charm to gather the information from people." I watched as Naomi's face dropped and kissed her cheek softly "I did ask if one of the others could go but he's insisting on me as apparently I'm his best photographer."

She smiled slightly "You are, there's no apparently about it." Her face dropped "I don't want you to go though; I can't live without you for a week."

I kissed her needing to feel my lips against hers "I can't live without you either, it is going to be so fucking hard not being able to hold you, kiss you and make you scream but we can text, phone and email one another and we will be back with each other before we know it.

She kissed me hard "I can't even begin to describe how much I'm going to fucking miss you. When do you leave?"

My face dropped and I snuggled against her "Tomorrow, we are flying up."

I tried to hide my worry, my fear but I knew Naomi had noticed it. Suddenly she moved me from her knee and walked over to the door quickly opening it "Cook get the fuck in here now."

He came straight into her office "It wasn't my idea Blondie, don't blame me and please don't hurt me."

She pointed to the spare chair "I'm not going to hurt you Cook; I want you to sit down, shut the fuck up and listen to me. I couldn't help but laugh as he immediately did as he was told. "Ok number one, you fucking make sure you look after her for me. Number two, she is scared of flying so you have to fucking reassure her on the flight, hold her hand, cuddle her, just keep her distracted so she is ok and Number three, just bring her back safely to me, do not drag her into any trouble or any of your daft schemes you might come up with. Do you understand?"

He nodded "I promise Blondie, I will take the best care of Red here."

She smiled "Good, now get out of here."

He left quickly and I walked over to Naomi pulling her into my arms and capturing her lips with mine before pulling back "I am going home to pack, I don't want to have to do anything tonight expect spend all my time with you doing all sorts to make you scream."

She groaned "I still have an afternoon to work and those images are not going to help anything."

I kissed her again "Well those images might just make you work a bit quicker and get home earlier."

She playfully slapped me "You are so cheeky sometimes."

I giggled "You know you love me."

She smiled "I sure do, now get out of here so I can get this work done."

The following day

We were standing at the airport; I was doing everything I could to put off going through to the departure lounge. Both Naomi and I had tears rolling down our cheeks neither of us wanting to leave one another. I kept pressing my lips to hers knowing how much I was going to hate not being able to do it anytime I wanted. Eventually Cook pulled me away from her "For fucks sake you two, you are going to be apart for a week, it will fly by, you'll be fucking back with one another before you know it."

Naomi just glared at him before I kissed her one last time "I love you."

She returned my kiss "I love you too."

I walked away from her my tears continuing to fall.

A couple of hours later we were back on solid ground after landing in Scotland and I have to admit Cook was amazing during the flight, obviously not as amazing as Naoms but he got me through it without too much fear creeping in. Now it goes without saying I much prefer Naomi's distraction techniques but Cook spent the time entertaining me with funny stories about when he was growing up, he certainly got up to some stuff when he was younger and got himself into some scrapes but always seemed to come out of every situation smelling of roses.

We jumped into a taxi to the hotel we were staying at, once we arrived and checked in I went off to my room, I flopped down onto the bed seriously missing Naomi already and it had only been a couple of hours. I pulled out my phone "Got here ok gorgeous, let's just say I much prefer your ways of distracting me on planes. Love you and miss you tons. E xxxxx"

She replied straight away "Wish I had been the one distracting you. Love you too and hate being without you. N xxxxx"

I read the message over and over again just wanting to hold her close to me. I flicked onto the photos on my phone and scrolled through the photos of Naoms and I hoping it would make me feel closer to her.
