A/N: Hello again. The next chapter is here and the smuff continues, or maybe it's just smut, ah well hopefully it hits the spot.

Work is a bit mental at the moment so I haven't been able to update more quickly and this weekend it was Mother's day so I spoilt my Mum which meant not a lot of writing.

Finally, Emily's secret is revealed which might come as a bit of a shock, does that mean this is smock?

I am now officially wittering, so I shall sign off with my usual aplomb.

As ever thank you for the brilliant, inspiring reviews, you really do keep me going.

Hope you like it, and let me know what you think. X

Naomi

I awoke in familiar surroundings but I was aware that something was different. I blinked a few times and rubbed my eyes until I remembered that although I was in my own bed, I wasn't alone. Emily was here and the thought of that made my pulse quicken. The brightness of the room told me it was already quite late and I glanced at the bedside clock to confirm my suspicions. It was strange for me to wake up next to someone and not be desperate to escape; normally I'd have gathered my clothes and quietly tip toed from the room a long time ago. That was why I never brought anyone home and always insisted on going to theirs, much easier to disappear without a trace the morning after.

I raised myself onto my side and watched her sleep. She really was stunningly beautiful, her hair was splayed out on the pillow and I took a strand of it in my hand and twirled it as I observed her. Her breathing was even which told me she was still sleeping soundly so I knew I had time to look as much as I liked. Intermittently a tiny snore would escape her mouth and even more intriguing was the occasional soft moan. I wondered what she was dreaming about before reaching the conclusion that like me, her sub conscious was probably filled with very vivid pictures of last night or x rated musings about what this morning had in store. I gingerly reached under the covers and moved my hand between her legs. I felt a bit creepy as I hovered over her, but it wasn't like I was planning to do anything while she was sleeping, oh no, she was definitely going to be conscious. I just wanted to know how soon after I woke her up I'd be able to fuck her. I tentatively reached out with my finger and immediately came into contact with wetness. Oh Jesus, she needed to be awake right now because I wasn't sure how much longer I could wait to make my previous night's dreams a reality.

I leant over and blew gently on her cheek, her nose crinkled and her hand flapped in front of her face before resting back on the duvet. I tried again to wake her by blowing across her face.

"Gerroff." She said sleepily.

I smiled and this time I kissed her softly on the mouth.

She snorted and turned away slightly, "Piss off Katie."

I suppressed a giggle, I genuinely hoped that wasn't the way her twin woke her. I kissed her again, this time more insistently. I felt her murmur into my mouth and finally her eyelids fluttered open. I pulled away and waited for her to focus on me. She rubbed her eyes and blinked a few times, then a smile appeared on her face as she realised where she was.

"Hey." She said in a voice huskier than normal.

"Morning" I replied simply as I waited for her to wake up properly.

She stretched and yawned, "Have you been awake long?"

I nodded, "A while, I watched you sleep but then I got bored so I thought I'd wake you up."

"Charming, so I'm awake because you were bored looking at me?" she said playfully.

I shook my head, "No, you're awake because I got bored of not being able to touch you in the way I wanted."

Emily smiled, "And which way would that be?"

I moved my hand and cupped her breast, swiping my thumb over the increasingly erect nipple causing a soft moan to escape her lips. I shifted position and began to kiss up her collar bone and neck stopping when I reached her ear.

"The way where I get to keep my promise and fuck you senseless this morning." I whispered as I gently sucked on her earlobe.

"Hmmm, now I'm definitely awake." she murmured back.

I pulled away and smiled, "Good and I already know you want me."

Emily raised her eyebrow, "Have you been feeling me up in my sleep?"

I blushed slightly, "I might have dipped my finger in quickly, just to check."

She smiled, "And how do you know I've been thinking about you? It might be some other girl who's got me hot and bothered."

For a second my confidence wavered until I saw the amused eyes staring at me. My boldness returned and I moved on top of her. I kissed her softly as I pushed my thigh between her legs causing her to gasp.

"No other girl would make you this wet." I stated as I pulled away from the kiss.

There was a pause as I slowly began to move my thigh against her, "True."

She wrapped her arms around my back and began to lightly run her fingertips up and down causing me to shiver. What we were doing felt good and I could tell I wasn't the only one enjoying the feeling of me pressing against her from the small murmuring noises that were coming from her mouth. I stared into her eyes and the hunger I saw caused my breath to hitch.

I wasn't sure why I felt so self assured, I'd never slept with a woman before and apart from Emily I'd never properly even thought about it. In reality I should be nervous but for some reason I wasn't. As I stared at her I could see with absolute clarity what I needed to do to make her feel the way she made me feel last night. I paused my movements causing a moan of frustration to come from the redhead's mouth and a pout appeared on her face.

I smiled and began kissing a slow path around her body. I kissed across her jaw line and gently sucked her ear lobe while my thigh resumed its previous gentle grinding motion. I shifted my body and repeated my actions on the other side of her face.

"You know I'm not necessarily going to rush this?" I questioned.

She murmured, "Doesn't matter as long as you make me come eventually."

I kissed her neck and across her collarbone, "I'm sure I can manage that."

My hand reached down and gently massaged her breast, "You've got magnificent tits too."

Emily chuckled and pressed me harder into her, as she rocked her hips towards me, "Oh how the self righteous have fallen..."

"I can always stop." I threatened as I pulled away.

She stared at me as I continued to grind my thigh against her, "Please don't."

I smiled as I leaned in and ran my tongue between her breasts before I moved my hand and took her nipple into my mouth, I sucked hard before I swirled my tongue across it. My hand moved to her other breast and I squeezed her nipple between my thumb and finger as my mouth continued to tease her. Emily arched her back, pushing herself into me as she moaned softly. I moved across her body and switched my actions, making sure each one got my full attention.

As I continued to slowly suck and stroke I heard her breathing become increasingly shallow so I decided to continue my descent. I trailed open mouthed kisses across her abdomen causing her muscles to flutter tantalisingly beneath me. I returned both hands to her breasts, kneading each one as my thumbs flicked her nipples into increasingly hard peaks. All the time I maintained the grinding of my thigh and each thrust encountered more and more wetness as I slid easily against her.

Once again I moved downward pausing briefly to dip my tongue into her belly button which caused her body to spasm slightly and I ran my tongue across the rippling muscles. Oh God I could spend all day exploring the redhead. Her skin was so soft even when it turned to goosebumps as my mouth trailed languidly across it. But I could sense Emily's growing impatience as she shifted slightly and gently pushed the top of my head towards my ultimate destination. I hesitated, now I was slightly nervous.

"I told you baby, only do what you feel comfortable with." Emily said gently.

My heart swelled when I realised that she was determined not to put any pressure on me no matter how much she wanted me to continue. I glanced up and we locked eyes, the brown orbs stared reassuringly at me and from then on there was only ever going to be one course of action I was going to take. I smiled and nestled myself between her thighs.

I pushed her legs wider apart and opened her with my thumbs, oh God she was so wet she was glistening, it was the sexiest thing I'd ever seen. I inhaled deeply revelling in the heady scent which made me dizzy with anticipation. I ran my fingertip up and down across her clit, each time gently flicking it causing soft moans to escape Emily's mouth.

"Hmmmm..." she uttered.

But we both knew my finger wasn't what either of us wanted to feel against her. I slowly lowered my head and cautiously circled her clit a few times with the tip of my tongue, testing and teasing slightly. The gentle sounds from the redhead told me I was doing something right so I grew bolder, both in attitude and my touch. My tongue stroked backwards and forwards and she started to slowly thrust against me.

"Oh yeah..." Emily said breathlessly as murmurs of pleasure tumbled from her lips.

I pushed her legs up and she moved them over my shoulders before she dug her heels into my back as she propelled her hips against me. I continued to flick more insistently as I felt her grow wetter each time she twitched towards me.

I ran my tongue through her juices causing her to growl in frustration until she felt it rest teasingly at her entrance. Her breath hitched as I tentatively I pushed my tongue slightly inside her before I withdrew it. I repeated my actions, pushing a little deeper this time. As I withdrew I flicked my tongue making her jerk again.

I paused to lap up some of the wetness which was spilling freely from her. Oh Jesus, the way she tasted was intoxicating. Very quickly I realised I had been worrying unnecessarily in case I couldn't do this. The question wasn't whether I'd be able to start, it was how the hell I'd ever be able to stop.

"Naomi..." Emily whispered as my tongue continued to dip teasingly in and out of her, gently probing and flicking.

I wasn't ready to make her come yet, I wanted to savour her more than this but I could sense she was getting more and more desperate as my tongue continued to dart in and out. This time when her hands ran through my hair she dug her nails into my scalp as she pushed me harder against her.

"Fuck me... Oh Jesus ... Please Naomi..." Emily begged.

After her impassioned plea what choice did I have? I moaned loudly as I plunged my tongue deep inside her, but it was nothing compared to the guttural sound that came from the redhead's throat. I reached up and my fingers slid easily against the rock hard clit I found waiting.

"Oh... My... God..." Emily cried out as I rapidly flicked my fingertips and thrust my tongue.

Her hips pushed repeatedly into me as her heels pressed harder and harder against my back. Her walls began to clench and I felt her whole body begin to tremble as I relentlessly continued my assault. I reassessed my notion that I couldn't feel any better than I felt last night, making Emily writhe beneath me as I fucked her was officially the best feeling in the world.

She tensed and a loud cry echoed around the room as she came, but I didn't stop what I was doing, I wanted this to last as long as possible. I felt her body begin to relax so I quickly withdrew my tongue and resumed my repeated flicking across her clit before I forcefully pushed two fingers inside her. I curled them and pressed against her walls as I began to impatiently explore.

Emily moaned loudly when I grazed a particular spot so I rubbed harder and her body began to quake again. I didn't know if it was the after effects of her first orgasm or whether she was going to come again but I didn't care. All that mattered was that she was feeling good and I was the person responsible, I felt about a hundred feet tall.

Frantically I drove my fingers repeatedly into her, each time pressing harder against her as I met with greater and greater resistance as she clenched around them. Her fingernails dug deeper into my scalp and her legs gripped me more tightly.

"Shitting... hell..." she yelled as she convulsed against me and I felt her cunt clamp hard around my fingers.

She inhaled sharply as I sucked her clit and continued to flick my tongue across it teasing further aftershocks from her. I wanted to eat her alive but her body went limp and her hands gently pushed my head away.

"... no more... can't..."

Reluctantly I pulled away and gently removed my fingers. I kissed a slow, meandering path up her body as she lay panting beneath me. I waited until her eyes opened before I leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her mouth. When I broke away I pushed a strand of hair away from her face and smiled.

"One senseless fucking as promised." I stated confidently.

Emily laughed, "There was nothing senseless about that..."

"So it was worth the wait?" I questioned, I was fishing slightly but hey even if I said so myself that was one hell of a shag.

Her eyebrow raised, "Are you sure you've never done that before?"

I shook my head, "Definitely my first time."

Emily wrapped her arms around my neck and beamed at me, "Looks like I've bagged me a natural because I can safely say that was one of the most amazing fucks I've ever had."

I blushed slightly, "Yeah?"

"Top five easy, if I didn't want you to get too big headed I might even go as far as saying it was top three, but I might be a bit biased at the moment..." she replied playfully.

"So what do I have to do to get the number one spot?" I asked with a broad smile.

Emily kissed me, "Keep fucking me like that and it'll be yours in no time."

My chest puffed out, "Last night was incredible too."

Emily nodded in mock seriousness, "Of course it was, I'm a fantastic shag..."

I grinned at her, "Hmmm, not sure you're as good as me..."

She pulled me towards her, "Hey don't get too cocky, it might have been beginner's luck. I've got moves that you can only dream about."

I raised my eyebrow, "Is that a fact? Care to give me a demonstration?"

Emily flipped us and gave me a devilish smile, "No rest for the wicked..."

I sighed contentedly as she began to kiss a path down my body, wicked or not I could definitely get used to this.

Effy

I was about to ring the doorbell when I heard a cheery "hello love" behind me. I turned and smiled at Gina as she walked up the path.

"Hey Gina, I thought it was probably safe by now, but the house is quiet." I stated.

She smiled, "I woke up at the crack of dawn but I wanted to give them some time together. Honestly Effy, you should have seen her, if you thought she was bad last week it was nothing compared to how she was yesterday."

I smiled wryly, "Yeah, I gathered that from how snappy she was on the phone. Hopefully she's a lot more chilled out now."

Gina leaned in conspiratorially, "So last night was the big night then?"

I shrugged, "Naoms didn't actually say anything but it was obvious, even Cook worked it out."

"Ah I'm pleased for them, Emily is a lovely girl. So shall we risk it?" Gina asked as she put the key in the lock.

I grinned as I pictured us bursting in on them in the kitchen or something, "We should probably loudly announce our presence."

"Good idea," Gina nodded, "NAOMI, EMILY, WE'RE HOME."

Naomi's head popped out of the kitchen, "Jesus Christ Mum, you scared us half to death. What's with the shouting?"

I smirked at her, "We wanted to make sure we didn't interrupt anything."

"We're just having something to eat," Naomi saw my eyebrow raise, "food, not each other."

I followed Gina into the kitchen as she greeted the redhead who was positively glowing. I nodded hello.

"Emily love, so nice to see you again," she nodded her head towards Naomi, "Treated you alright did she?"

Emily smiled at Naomi who blushed slightly, "Yes thanks Gina, Naomi has been the perfect host apart from the fact I still seem to be waiting for a cup of tea."

"Shit, sorry Em, it'll be all stewed by now," Naomi uttered as she made her way to the cup resting on the side.

"Why don't you sit down and I'll make a pot," Gina said with a smile.

Naomi sat as close to Emily as she could and took her hand, "Thanks Mum."

I sat opposite and observed them, every other second Naomi reached over and touched the redhead for some reason, either to get something off her clothes or to rub away an imaginary smudge.

"Are you sure you don't want anything else?" she asked.

Emily shook her head, "I'm fine, I need to leave some space for lunch at my parents and you've already kept me later than I intended."

Naomi smiled, "I didn't hear any complaints earlier."

Emily kissed her, "Hmmm, I don't suppose you did."

"Do you really have to go?" Naomi said with a pout.

Emily laughed, "We've already been through this babe, it's one of their 'gatherings' and they'll kill me if I'm not there but I'd much rather spend the day with you if I could."

"Maybe I could come too?" Naomi offered.

I watched Emily's body tense up slightly, it was very subtle and Naomi didn't see but as my eyes met the redhead's I knew she'd seen me notice.

"I'll invite you round soon I promise, but I don't want the first time you meet my parents to be at a free for all, it's manic. I want them to be able to get to know you properly." Emily answered.

"Oh is this one of those charity things I keep reading about?" Gina asked as she put the pot down.

Emily nodded, "They're a pain in the arse, but we Fitches need to be seen to be doing the right thing."

I watched her as Gina began to question her some more, she was obviously glad of the subject change but every now and again she would glance nervously at me. Naomi, soppy twat that she was, didn't notice a thing because she was too busy staring adoringly at the redhead.

Once she had finished her tea she reluctantly got up, "I really need to go baby, I'm already running late."

Naomi huffed, "Alright, I'll see you out."

"Do you need a lift anywhere Emily?" Gina asked.

Emily pointed towards the door, "It's ok thanks Gina, I drove over last night. Come on you, walk me to the car."

We wandered into the lounge and twitched at the curtains as Naomi and Emily made their way to the road. The redhead put her overnight bag in the boot and turned to face Naomi with a broad smile. There was a short conversation before Naomi pressed her against the car and kissed her. Even from this distance we could see it quickly got quite heated. Eventually Emily pushed Naomi away and got in the driver's side. She wound down the window and pulled Naomi to her again for another kiss before she started the engine and drove off with a wave. Naomi stood rooted to the spot waving back madly until the redhead was obviously out of sight.

We quickly made our way back to the kitchen when we saw Naomi walking, or rather floating, up the path.

"What time's lunch Mum, I'm bloody starving." Naomi said as she plonked herself back down.

Gina gave her a knowing look, "I'm sure you are. About three as normal?"

Naomi grinned, "Great, I can probably last until then."

"Glad to hear it, will Cook be round?" Gina replied.

Naomi shook her head, "Nah, apparently he's busy today."

I stared quizzically at her, "When's Cook ever too busy for Gina's Sunday lunch?"

Naomi shrugged, "Don't shoot the messenger, I texted him and that was the response I got."

Hmmmm, I had a feeling I knew exactly where he was today but I let it drop, I was far more interested in giving Naomi a grilling. I motioned to Gina to bugger off and I'd fill her in later, over the years we'd developed quite an effective form of telepathy.

"Right, I'm going to do some gardening so I'll leave you and Effy alone." Gina replied with a wink as she opened the back door.

Once she was gone I raised my eyebrow at Naomi, "Well?"

"Well what?" Naomi replied.

I snorted, "Even without my keen powers of observation, it's obvious what you've been up to."

She grinned at me, "I really don't have a clue what you're on about."

"Oh for fuck's sake Naomi, stop being a such a knob." I responded huffily.

"Emily came round for dinner, which I lovingly prepared from scratch I might add, we drank some champagne and then we went to bed. This morning we got up, had a shower and you've just seen her leave to go to her parents." she informed me.

My eyes narrowed, she was never normally this cagey, "Naomi Campbell, I want the bloody details, how many times, who did what to whom, were you nervous?"

"Alright, in reverse order, yes a bit at first, lots of things were done by both of us and once last night and twice, no wait three times, this morning, I almost forgot the shower, " She tutted and shook her head, "God how could I forget the shower."

"Jesus, no wonder you've got such a shit eating grin this morning. What's 'lots of things' supposed to mean when it's at home?" I continued to question.

Naomi smiled mysteriously, seriously this was like pulling teeth.

"So did you, you know..." I pushed my tongue out and motioned towards her crotch.

"Oh yeah." she replied with relish.

I was a bit surprised, I know Naomi had been nervous about doing that, Jesus you should have heard the conversation she had with Cook about it, excruciating doesn't even come close.

"And it didn't bother you at all?" I asked.

Naomi shook her head, "I know I was a bit worried but when it came down to it I couldn't get enough, it was fucking fantastic. Seriously Eff, Emily had to physically push me off her otherwise I'd still be doing it now."

I smiled, "Well, well, well, so now you're a fully fledged member of the muff munching club."

Naomi wiggled her eyebrows, "I'm its star turn, Emily said it was one of the best fucks she'd ever had."

"That good eh? It never really did a thing for me but maybe that's because I'm not gay..." I stopped as Naomi's jaw dropped.

"When did you go down on a girl?" she asked incredulously.

I shrugged, "After Freddie left me I thought I'd give women a try so I got really drunk one night and attempted to screw one of my house mates. It was ok but nothing earth shattering and all it proved was I liked cock."

I saw the realisation dawn on her face, "Oh God, that's why Amy never liked me? She thought I was shagging you which is why you weren't interested? I could never understand why she thought you were into girls in the first place."

"Might be because I told her you were my girlfriend which is why what had happened between us could never happen again." I said cheekily.

"You did what?" Naomi spluttered.

I held up my hands, "What else was I supposed to say? She followed me around like a crazy stalker, it was seriously hampering my ability to pull."

Naomi glared at me, "So that's why all of your housemates kept insisting I was gay?"

I snorted, "To be fair Naoms, it was hardly wide of the mark was it?"

"I suppose not, but it still pissed me off." she conceded grudgingly as Gina came back in.

"What pissed you off love?" she asked.

Naomi pointed at me, "Effy told her housemates at uni I was her girlfriend so one of them would stop pestering her."

Gina started to laugh, "Oh Effy..."

"Mum," Naomi whined, "It really wound me up."

Gina shook her head, "Honestly Naomi, lighten up. I think the fact you've clearly spend most of the last 15 hours shagging Emily means they were spot on don't you?"

I looked questioningly, "In a way, you could say I was actually doing you a favour..."

"Oh piss right off Effy, don't try to put your spin on it. Just because I'm perfectly happy admitting I love fucking Emily now doesn't mean I wanted to be outed then." Naomi scoffed.

I turned to Gina who was smiling broadly at her daughter, "You heard her Gina, she loves fucking Emily and they did it four times. What do you think? Was I doing her a favour?"

Gina nudged Naomi, "Just think if only you admitted it at the time you wouldn't have been so grumpy all these years."

"Oh fuck off the pair of you, I'm not grumpy." Naomi said sulkily.

I winked at Gina, "Not now you're not, but that's because you screwed Emily."

Naomi suddenly smiled, "Today I'm going to rise above it and nothing is going to put me in a bad mood. I got to have tons of mind blowing sex with an incredibly sexy, incredibly beautiful, fucking goddess of a woman, what did you two losers spend last night doing?"

"Had to listen to a load of women moaning about how useless their husbands were," Gina mumbled.

"Had an early night with a book, not even a very good one." I confirmed.

Naomi smiled smugly, "I rest my case."

Gina and I sighed, no matter how much we teased we had to concede Naomi had a point, "Fair enough, you win."

She patted my cheeks and grinned, "Oh believe me Effy, I already know that."

I rolled my eyes, she was going to be even more insufferable from now on, "Right, so tell me all about your magnificent performance in the shower."

Hey, if you can't beat them, you might as well join them.

Emily

"It makes me HAAAAPPPPY, con tequila it feels fiiiiiiiiine, Con tequila when the doors are opened, and con tequila when they're CAAALLLING TIIIIIMMMEE..." I belted out as I turned up the radio.

Except it wasn't tequila making me happy, my current state of elation had nothing to do with drink or drugs and everything to do with a certain blonde. I grinned inanely, ah Naomi 'fucking gorgeous, shit hot in bed' Campbell I salute you. Maybe her new nickname wasn't quite as catchy as Hottie McNicearse, but it was just, if not more, fitting.

Jesus Christ, talk about landing on your feet. The woman was perfect, absolutely bloody perfect. I'd thought I'd struck gold by finding someone who was intelligent, funny, passionate and bloody stunning to boot but now to cap it all I find that not only is she all those things she's phenomenal in the sack too. Died and gone to heaven doesn't even come close.

I slowed down and motioned for the man to cross the road, he nodded at me so I wound down the window, "You're welcome, have a lovely day."

He stared at me like I was mad but I didn't care, today the world was a wonderful place. Ok so maybe I was a bit over the top, but if you'd had the morning I'd just had you'd find it hard not to be, believe me.

I wasn't trying to flatter Naomi when I said she'd given me one of the best fucks of my life, it seriously was. In fact, if I'm really honest it might already be the best. But it was definitely the most outstanding first shag with someone I'd ever had, I wasn't sure I'd ever clicked with anyone the way I did with Naomi.

I slammed on the brakes as someone cut me up, normally that would be my cue to repeatedly beep my horn and call them a cunt, let's just say the term road rage could have easily been invented for me. But not today, today I simply smiled and gave them a cheery wave. It was quite funny actually because that seemed to fuck with their head far more than a violent outburst, I'll have to remember that in future.

I turned the radio down when I reached the outskirts of the village where my parents lived. If Naomi really wanted to meet some right-wing Tory tossers she could do a lot worse than start here. It had a neighbourhood committee that produced a monthly news letter which was full of middle class bollocks about Crispin's gap year or the fact that there was a 'youth crime wave' because Mrs Fosenby had some apples stolen from her garden.

Naturally they treated Mum and Dad with suspicion because they were 'new money' and a bit ostentatious in everyone's eyes. I'd be the first to admit my parents weren't exactly restrained but they weren't as vulgar as some of the villagers made out. Personally I thought it was jealousy because they'd bought the biggest house and funnily enough no one ever seemed to mind when they managed to get James May or Carol Vorderman to open their stupid summer fetes.

I signalled and pulled up to the gates, the camera trained on the car and they silently clicked open allowing me to make my way up the driveway. Maybe I had been a bit economical with the truth when Naomi questioned me, yes the property was Georgian, but I suppose it was more of a manor than a house. I quickly checked the other parked cars, good I was late but it was still ok. I grabbed my handbag from the passenger seat and made my way to the door. It was flung open and a stern looking Katie greeted me.

"Where the fuck have you been? You're nearly an hour late, luckily for you they're not here yet." she hissed.

I grinned, "Sorry, been a bit busy."

Katie looked unimpressed, "Hmmm, so you finally got Speedy Gonzales into the sack?"

I smiled, "Yep, and the shower, we've been fucking all morning."

"So I'm guessing from your self satisfied face it was worth it?" Katie quizzed.

I nodded, "Oh yeah. Seriously unbelievable."

She shrugged, "I'm surprised, I thought it'd be all awkward and clumsy, seeing as it was the first time."

I grinned again, "Nope, Naomi took to it like a duck to water, lucky old me."

I was about to walk in when Katie stopped me "Aren't you forgetting something?"

"Shit." I reached into my bag and took out the plain gold band, I slipped it on my left hand as I followed her inside.

Katie stared at me, "Just to let you know Mum is at her bonkers new age best today, she's really turning it on."

"That's all I need. Emily, lateness is a sign of a disorganised mind." I mimicked.

Katie laughed, "She's going to offer to declutter your soul again."

I rolled my eyes, "Maybe I should tell her exactly why I was late, that might shut her up."

Katie looked pityingly at me, "No it wouldn't, she'd start giving you advice about how your love making could be more fulfilled."

My face contorted, "Oh God yeah, I fucking hate these things, she's always such a dick."

We walked into the room and immediately Mum came over and air kissed me, "Emily, you're here at last darling."

"Hi Mum, wouldn't miss it for the world. It's for charity and we all have to do our bit." I replied loudly.

"Where the hell have you been?" she hissed out of the side of her mouth.

"Stayed at a friend's last night." I hissed back.

"Well talk about this later, but you can't be so irresponsible all the time Emily." she continued under her breath.

I spluttered, "Jesus Mum, I hardly think you could call me irresponsible."

"I said later. Alan, darling, it's been too long." She smiled falsely and wafted away.

I glared after her retreating form, "Seriously, where does she get off? So I turned up a bit late, Jesus I haven't been out all night in ages"

Katie patted my arm, "I know babe but you know what she's like."

"I mean honestly, there's no harm done..." I stopped mid sentence when I heard a familiar laugh.

I turned around and my heart nearly stopped when I saw Cook chatting away to some of the other guests, "What the fuck is he doing here?"

Katie looked sheepish, "We've been spending a bit of time together and he said he wanted to meet some of the celebs."

"But Katie, he's Naomi's best friend. He can't be here." I stated.

She stared at me incredulously, "You still haven't told her? I thought you were going to do it last night."

Now it was my turn to look sheepish, "I intended to honestly, but we kind of got side tracked."

Katie's eyebrow raised, "Hmmm, your tongue down her throat side tracked?"

"More of a my fingers inside her diversion really." I said with a grin.

Katie rolled her eyes, "I really don't believe you."

I was about to reply when Cook saw me and bounded over, he kissed me on the cheek and whistled as he pulled away, "Emilio, how fuckin loaded are you? Naoms is gonna shit a brick when she sees this."

I tutted, "It's our parents house and I've already told her they're well off."

"Well off? This room is almost bigger than my flat. Believe me babe, no matter what you think you told Naomi, she ain't expecting this." Cook replied incredulously.

I frowned, "Maybe I need to prepare her a bit more?"

He nodded, "I would darlin, otherwise she's going to combust on the spot."

"Thanks for the warning." I stated ruefully, Naomi getting a shock was the last thing I needed.

He winked, "So how was last night?"

Seriously? Did Naomi announce it or something? "Dinner was lovely thanks."

He laughed, "And what about after dinner?"

I glared at Katie who shrugged, "Don't look at me, apparently it was obvious."

Cook nudged me, "Come on, we both know you and blondie were going to do it. Fuck's sake, that's why I had to endure that agonising conversation..."

He stopped and I raised my eyebrow, "What conversation?"

Cook looked around the room, "Um, Naomi might have asked me for a bit of advice about, you know, doing stuff to a girl."

I paused until we made eye contact again, "Believe me Cook, Naomi doesn't need any help in that department whatsoever."

He chuckled, "That's my girl."

I winked, "Actually I think you'll find she's my girl..."

I spotted James shuffling over like his limbs were made of lead, honestly he could make lying still look like a supreme effort.

I squeezed his bicep, "Hello brother dearest, still no girlfriend then?"

He smiled sarcastically, "So you finally got into what's her face's knickers?"

I grinned at him, "Fortunately most of the time Naomi wasn't wearing any."

He scowled, "Whatever, smug bitch. Where's Mum? I've just seen the car pull up and she asked me to tell her when they arrived."

Shit, what was I going to do now?

I waved my hand, "She's over there somewhere."

I turned back to find Katie staring at me wildly as Cook folded his arms.

His eyes narrowed and his gaze fell to my wedding ring, "I'm guessing Naomi doesn't have a clue?"

I took a deep breath, "It's not what it looks like, I can explain..."

He laughed coldly, "This should be good."

I was about to speak when I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, I turned and smiled as I hugged him back and gave him a kiss, "Hey sweetheart, good journey?"

He nodded and stared suspiciously at Cook, "Danny, this is Cook, he's a friend of mine. Cook this is Danny."

"Alright." they both gruffly said at each other but I could see Cook was still confused.

Well here goes nothing.

"Cook," I paused, "Danny's my son."
