Naomi heaved a sigh as she marked an x on the date in the calendar hanging on her wall. It's just 2 more days left before she leaves for Greece. She's been dying to go there ever since. She had always dreamed of seeing those famous temples and ruins, always been intrigued by it. Only now, that she wasn't sure if she wanted to go anymore.

"Having second thoughts?" Naomi smiled as she felt a familiar pair of arms wrap around her waist. She turned to face her, the very reason why she was feeling like she'd rather stay and throw the "I wanna go to Greece" crap away.

"You sound hopeful yeah?" Naomi teased, planting a soft kiss on Emily's lips. She pressed her forehead against the redhead, and held her tighter.

"Well, I must say, I'm kind of." Emily teased back and let out a small laugh.

"I'm afraid, I really am." Naomi shyly confessed.

"What? Why?" the other girl pulled back and asked, turning serious.

"Erm..right..because.." Naomi bit her bottom lip and stared timidly at Emily's eyes. She knows that she'll sound awfully ridiculous when she tells her the truth, but she couldn't think of any other reason either. She'll have to stick with the truth then.

"Because, you're not coming with me." The blonde spilled the words a lot faster than it's supposed to be.

"And?" Emily's forehead creased, confusion dawning over her.

"It's just that, it's just that. Christ! I'm gonna sound so hokey!" Naomi cried in frustration and threw her hands up in the air. She rolled her eyes and blew out her breath before returning her gaze to Emily, who was now torn between suppressing her laughter and showing her confusion. Emily took her girlfriend's hand and pulled her to the edge of the bed, beckoning her to sit down. She then sat on Naomi's lap and wrapped her arms around Naomi's neck.

"Now, what is it that you were saying? Who cares if they're fucking hokey! I like hokey stuff, especially when they come from you."

"Bloody hell Em! I've never said anything hokey to you before!"

Emily snorted. "Right. So you were saying?"

"Erm, yeah..well, I'm actually thinking of postponing my trip till next summer, I mean i-"

"What the fuck? Naomi, you've been wanting this trip for ages!" Emily exclaimed, cutting the blonde off.

"I know, I know! It's just that.."

"Just what?"

Naomi leaned in and buried her face in her girlfriend's chest before speaking.

"It's just that, I'll miss you. Like hell. I don't think I'd be able to last long, you know? Fuck, I might not even make it through a day! It would feel really different, not seeing you, not hearing you speak or laugh. It would make me feel incomplete. Worse, lonely."

Emily's face softened and a gratified smile formed in her lips. She kissed the top of Naomi's head before lifting her face, cupping it in her hands.

"It's only a week Nai. Besides, we could always talk over the phone."

"I know. I'm just, I don't know. I just can't seem to stand being away from you." Naomi mumbled, her eyes looking down. Emily kissed her gently but deep. Pulling back, she uttered:

"As much as I want you to stay, I know how long you've waited for this. I don't want to ruin it for you. You don't get second chances at everything. So you should go, alright?"

Naomi nodded and smiled. She reached in and claimed Emily's lips, her tongue tracing the redhead's bottom lip, while her fingers lingered on the small of Emily's back. The redhead let out a soft moan. Naomi's kiss was sending a thousand shivers to her spine. Her fingers twisted around the blonde's hair, making the kiss even deeper. But something flashed through her mind. Emily needed to make sure of something. She needed to make sure of it to give her some peace of mind. She immediately pulled back, thus startling Naomi, her forehead creasing with confusion and annoyance.

"Naomi, I need to know something."

"What now Ems?" Naomi asked with irritation.

"You're going to Greece to see the temples and ruins, yeah?"

"Yes. Yes I am." The blonde answered impatiently.

Emily bit her lip.

"You're not going to see any Greek girls, right? I mean, you're not off to meet someone?"

Naomi let out a booming laugh. Surely, Emily was being utterly absurd.

"Em, if I was to meet someone, I'd meet her in Paris, not in Greece." She said between her laughter.

"Well that's a relief."

"Don't be ridiculous Em. I'm yours already, every bit of me. Nobody can take me away from you."

Emily's mouth twitched. Right. Naomi was right. She was hers.
