A/N: I know it's been while since I updated this story, but I hope you accept this chapter as an apology.

I did write another story in the mean time, but it was very self contained and specific.

So anyway, our girls are back together and it's all good in Naomily world.

There was some sort of update on TV but I can't for the life of me remember what happened so I'll just go with this...

Emily

I woke with a jolt, my heart was pounding and my breathing was erratic, and not in a good way. I had no idea what startled me awake but when I realised I was in my own bed, in my own room, with gentle sunlight coming through the curtains I began to calm down. I suppose it must have been a dream or something, although to be fair I wasn't sure I'd got enough sleep in the first place to enter that deep cycle. I grinned as the reason I'd been awake most of the night came sharply into focus.

I turned to the other side of the bed and frowned, it was empty, the covers were haphazardly thrown back, like someone had been in a hurry to get out of bed. I reached out and patted the sheets, they were cold. I raised myself onto my elbows and surveyed the room, the floor was littered with my hastily discarded clothes but that was it. My heart rate rapidly increased again.

I sighed heavily and flopped back onto the pillow. I began to doubt myself, maybe last night hadn't really happened? Oh shut up Emily, even your imagination isn't that good, I silently chastised myself. So what then? Naomi woke this morning and instantly regretted getting carried away? I tutted, don't be so stupid, last night wasn't a silly mistake, it's not like we we're drunk and I knew her frequently repeated, but always heartfelt, declarations of love were genuine.

But even so the seeds of doubt began to appear in my mind, alright they actually started to grow, they materialised as soon as I saw the other side of the bed was empty. Last night had been amazing, not just because of the fantastic sex, which believe me was out of this world, but because finally my hope that Naomi would forgive me had come true. I tried to logically talk myself out of my panic but my heart was heavy that there was a greater significance to the fact I'd woken up alone.

My head turned as the door swung open. Naomi walked into the room carrying a cup of tea. She stopped and gave me a heart melting smile when she saw I was awake.

"Morning sleeping beauty." She said cheerily as she crossed the room.

"Hi." I replied in a quiet voice.

She put the tea on the bedside table and sat on the edge of the bed before she leaned in to kiss me, hmmm, any lingering doubts instantly disappeared.

"What was that face about when I walked in?" Naomi questioned as we pulled apart.

"What face?" I asked innocently.

I didn't want her to know the full extent of my paranoia and insecurity did I? One it made me look like a saddo and two I felt stupid for doubting last night or what it meant.

"Did you think I'd done a runner?" Naomi joked, she stopped when I started to blush.

She smiled and cupped my face, "Em, I meant everything I said and did last night. I'm completely and utterly in love with you and if I have to tell you that every day, every hour or every minute until you believe me then I will."

I smiled, "I know, I just felt a bit scared when I woke up and you weren't here, now I just feel silly and embarrassed."

"Don't be. I saw last night how your confidence has been shaken by my pig headed behaviour and I really am very sorry." She replied sincerely.

She looked sadly at me and I mentally shook myself, "I know you are, so stop feeling bad. We should be celebrating the fact we're back together, not getting dragged down by past mistakes, what's done is done, let's move on ok?"

Naomi's eyebrow raised, "Fine, but that means you have to stop being paranoid about the way I feel about you too."

I pulled her into another kiss, "Deal."

"Mmmm, I can't tell you how much I wish Dan wasn't downstairs right now."

"So it was my son who prevented you from waking up naked next to me?" I said jokingly.

Naomi smiled, "Fraid so, I heard a noise downstairs and realised Danny must be up. I figured one of us should be with him and you were fast asleep."

"It's the least you can do after keeping me up most of the night." I quipped.

She laughed, "I don't think that was entirely my fault..."

"Suppose not. Was he surprised to see you?" I asked.

Naomi shook her head, "Didn't bat an eyelid."

I smiled, "Good, I was wondering if we needed to sit him down and explain but it might be best to act like it's no big deal."

She snorted, "Oh thank you very much, nice to know my efforts aren't wasted..."

I hit her gently, "You know what I mean. So can I expect a cup of tea in bed every day or is this a one off?"

Naomi gasped in mock surprise, "I'll have you know it doesn't stop with a cup of tea Emily, I've run you a bath..."

"I distinctly remember us showering last night." I replied with a wiggle of my eyebrows.

"Not sure we ended up cleaner after that and besides this will soothe your aching muscles." Naomi shot back.

I shoved her, "Excuse me are you implying I don't have stamina?"

She grabbed my arms and pinned me down, "Not at all, I was very impressed with your endurance. I'm just trying to be nice, I'm even cooking you breakfast, it'll be ready when you get downstairs."

I giggled, "I could get used to being spoilt like this, I think I'll keep you."

She quickly pecked my lips, "Good because I'm not planning on going anywhere."

We were interrupted by a shout from downstairs.

"Shit, I left the grill on to warm up..." Naomi uttered as she leapt off the bed.

I couldn't wipe the smile from my face as I put my dressing gown on and made my way to the bathroom. Sure enough there was a freshly run bath, complete with relaxing bubbles, waiting for me. I pinned up my hair and tested the temperature before I sank into it. Naomi was right, my muscles did ache a bit and this was the tonic they needed.

My smile turned to a full on self satisfied grin when I thought back to last night. Naomi had definitely kept her promise to worship me. Not that she'd done badly out of it either mind you, but at first it was mainly one way traffic. She'd taken her time, making sure she covered every inch of my skin with soft strokes or gentle kisses. At first I luxuriated in it but as time elapsed I began to get impatient. That only made her chuckle and go even slower which naturally increased my frustration. Eventually she reached my left breast and I silently said thanks because surely she'd make me come soon right?

Wrong again.

Naomi took my nipple in her mouth and spent ages gently sucking while her tongue swirled across it. Then her attention transferred to my other nipple and she repeated her actions. She continued to alternate between each breast, each time sucking harder and swiping her tongue more firmly, until each nipple stood proud and felt double it's normal size. By this time I was panting heavily and aching for release, my cunt twitched every time she touched me and my whispered pleas echoed quietly around the room. All it took was a single thrust of her fingers inside me and I was gone, tipped totally over the edge into orgasm heaven.

I'd barely started to come down when I felt Naomi's mouth clamp around my clit and the actions done on my nipples earlier were repeated but this time there was no gentle start or slow build up. I moaned as she repeatedly sucked my clit firmly while her tongue flicked insistently across it, accompanied all the time by flexing fingers that were still deep inside me. My hips raised from the bed, my hands pushed her head against me and shortly orgasm number three was pulsating through my body.

At this point we had a bit of a rest, we were both breathless and I was starting to get a bit sore, not that I was complaining you understand. Naomi lowered herself on top of me and we spent some time leisurely kissing. I ran my hands up and down her back when an idea to redress some of the imbalance in the orgasm stakes, if you'll excuse the pun, came to me. To Naomi's surprise I pushed her away but the smile returned to her face when I dragged her into the shower stating we were both a bit sweaty. I briefly thought about washing her but one look into her lust filled eyes convinced me to dispense with any kind of foreplay. Instead I knelt in front of her, opened her up and got on with the serious business of eating her alive. Once my fingers joined the party it didn't take long before she was desperately trying to grip the tiles to prevent herself falling after her legs buckled. Thanks to the sound of the shower, Naomi was also able to make as much noise as she liked, something she took full advantage of.

We dried one another off and congratulated ourselves on our restraint, proud of the fact that the soft strokes of the towels hadn't led anywhere else. We agreed that was probably enough sex for one night, I mean we weren't rutting animals, we did have some self control. We climbed back into bed and I leaned over to give Naomi a brief kiss good night. She returned it and this time it lasted slightly longer, but we still broke apart. I casually noted my first kiss was a bit chaste, she agreed it was bordering on platonic so of course I did it again, for longer, with tongues and any restraint we kidded ourselves we had flew right out of the window. We were all over each other within seconds and in the spirit of fairness bodies were contorted into various positions so both sets of fingers and tongues could simultaneously work their magic. We didn't quite come at the same time but there wasn't a lot in it believe me. Finally we were sated, well satisfied enough for the time being at any rate, and we drifted off to sleep in each others arms.

I returned to the present and shook my head, I mean after all that how could I even have entertained the notion that Naomi regretted anything or had run away? She was right I need to get over myself and stop working myself into a frenzy. I chuckled, I'd leave that to Naomi.

"Come on Emily, get a move on otherwise your in serious danger of turning into a prune." I stated to the room as I looked at my wrinkled hands.

After I'd washed and let the bath water out I quickly got dressed. One, because I was starving and mouthwatering smells were drifting upstairs from the kitchen but also because I missed Naomi. Yes alright that makes me sound like a sap but it's the truth, so meh. I walked down the stairs and was about to go into the kitchen when I couldn't help overhearing the conversation taking place. What? So that makes it twice I've eavesdropped on my son and girlfriend, it hardly makes me a habitual offender does it? Anyway as I keep saying, it's my house, I can do what I like.

"Naomi?" Danny obviously had a question.

I could sense her smile, "Yes Dan."

"Did you stay here last night?"

Naomi paused, "Yes I did, I slept in your Mum's room, with her."

I smiled, mainly because I was glad Naomi had been totally up front with him but also because she'd obviously worked out his next question.

I could virtually hear Danny thinking, "does that mean you're Mummy's girlfriend again?"

My eyes widened in surprise, I'd only ever said Naomi was my friend but Dan had clearly worked it out by himself. Or maybe Katie had mentioned it, it's not exactly the first time her big gob has dropped me in it. Anyway Emily, back to the conversation, if you're going to sneak around at least do it properly.

I heard Naomi place something down, "Yes I am, so I'll be around here quite a bit. Is that ok?"

"Cool, we can play lots and," he paused and just for a second my heart leapt into my mouth, "you won't be kissing all the time will you."

Naomi laughed and I decided it was time for my entrance.

"Speaking of kissing, good morning sweetheart." I leant down and planted a smacker on his cheek.

He wiped it away, "yuk, that was all sloppy."

I walked over to Naomi and leant up to kiss her too, "thank you for my bath, it was very relaxing."

We held each other's gaze and I could tell she knew what I'd been thinking about because it was exactly what she was remembering at this precise moment.

She slowly licked her lips, "You're welcome. Breakfast is almost ready, can I get you another cup of tea?"

"Bug...gy I forgot all about it, sorry, it'll be stone cold by now." I said with a frown.

Naomi motioned with her head, "There's more in the pot, no need to panic."

"Yeah Mummy, it's only a stupid cup of tea, take a chill pill." Dan added.

Naomi winked, "Sound advice there don't you think?"

I shrugged, "possibly, but why on earth my son suddenly sounds like a 60s hippie is beyond me."

"Cook says it to Auntie Katie all the time, usually when she wants him to hurry up when they're going shopping." Danny explained.

I smiled, "I can understand why Cook wants to put that off for as long as possible. I'm surprised he even goes with her at all."

Naomi smiled back, "Come on he loves her, that's what you do."

"Really? So what would you do for me then?" I was fishing slightly.

"Hey, I went up that tower, on that roller coaster and the big wheel thing all because it would make you happy. What about you?" Naomi challenged.

I glanced at Dan to see if it was safe, he was engrossed in his comic, "oh I'd do just about anything to make you happy Naomi."

We all jumped as the metal spoon Naomi was holding clattered to the floor.

"Good job that wasn't breakfast." Dan said in relief.

Naomi was still staring at me as a slow blush crept up her cheeks, I walked over and closed her mouth, "What are we having by the way?"

She shook herself, "Full English, I found it all in the fridge."

I noticed three plates on the side, I slowly turned around and found my son staring hopefully at me with his most innocent face. "Just this once as a treat. This isn't going to become a regular occurrence ok?"

He let go of the breath he was holding and nodded furiously.

I looked back at Naomi, "And I suppose this was a devious plan you concocted before I came down?"

She shrugged, "I wouldn't exactly call it devious, I just mentioned you were in a good mood so might not mind, as long as it was a one off."

I walked over under the guise of helping, my voice dropped to a whisper, "don't think that getting the number one spot at last means you can wrap me round your little finger."

Naomi grinned and replied equally as quietly, "I knew it was only a matter of time..."

"There's that modesty you're so famous for again. Which one's mine?" I quipped.

She pointed, "My humility is one of the reasons you fell for me in the first place."

I picked up the plate and gave her a brief kiss, "One of the reasons, yeah..."

She followed me to the table and placed Danny's food in front of him before she sat down herself. For the next couple of minutes the only sound heard was that of food being chewed and hastily swallowed along with the occasional scrape of a plate.

"God this is good, I'm ravenous." I stated.

Danny nodded in agreement, "Imfff elli us."

"Don't speak with your mouth full Dan, and you don't have to eat all the food at once you know? I'm not going to change my mind and take it away from you." I chastised.

He smiled coyly when he realised I'd caught him out.

"So do you fancy doing something today? We could go bowling again or to the cinema maybe?" Naomi asked with a smile.

My mood deflated slightly when I realised we couldn't, "Oh babe, that's a really great idea, but we're going to my parents for lunch, it's been arranged for ages and I can't really get out of it."

"It's ok, we can do something another time." She said with forced cheeriness.

I reached over and took her hand, "I'm really sorry, I'd much rather spend the day with you..."

"Naomi can come too." Danny said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I frowned, "it's not really fair to spring this on Naomi at such short notice is it?"

He looked puzzled, "but you just said you wanted us to spend the day together, this way you can. Grandma won't mind, there's always tons of food."

How was I supposed to explain that it wasn't as simple as inviting Naomi over? This was me introducing my girlfriend to my parents for the first time, which is always a big deal but doubly so because they didn't even know I had a girlfriend. That coupled with the fact Naomi and I had only been back together for two minutes, screamed coming on far too strong. Everyone needed some time to get used to the idea, well ok I needed some time to prepare. Danny adored his grandparents so I could hardly tell him it wasn't a good idea because my Mum would immediately start grilling Naomi and probably pick holes in everything just like she always did with me or people I cared about. It wasn't particularly vicious most of the time but she always knew how to needle away to get the maximum impact.

"It's ok Danny, thanks for the suggestion, but I wouldn't want a total stranger hijacking my family dinner either." Naomi said quietly.

I glanced at her, she looked mildly hurt, "you're not a total stranger, you'd be there as mine and Danny's guest. I just didn't want to force you into meeting my parents before you were ready."

Danny tutted, "Grandma and Grandad aren't monsters..."

"Maybe not Grandad..." I muttered under my breath.

"Mummy, don't be nasty, Grandma's lovely."

I clearly hadn't been as quiet as I thought, a look of understanding passed across Naomi's face.

She smiled, "I'd really like to be with you today, no matter what that entails."

"Are you sure?" I questioned.

She nodded, "As long as we take a detour by my house so I can shower and get changed, it's fine."

I managed to avoid being distracted by a picture of Naomi in the shower, quite some feat I think you'll agree and focus instead on the practicalities. I'd have to let my Mum know there was an extra guest and field all the awkward questions, and no doubt rebukes, that statement led to. I checked my watch, if Naomi needed to get ready, we'd have to set off at least half an hour early, actually better make it 45 minutes to be on the safe side, it didn't give us much time to tidy up. I turned back to find Danny giving me his best puppy dog expression and the azure eyes looking expectantly.

I smiled as I shook my head, "Fine, I'll give Mum a ring and tell her to expect three of us."
