Painting was my passion, the one thing that meant the most to me.
My family had never really been around since my father died then my mother remarried just before I left for university. So that had been my release. All the emotion that I kept looked up inside of me, turned in to perhaps my favorite and also best selling work (even if I was only selling in tiny galleries)
I still see her though, my mother; every now and then I head over to Ireland and spend sometime catching up with her. That really does hardly happen though, so apart from that I'm here in London on my own
So anyway, Naomi Campbell, that's me, yes I know it's a strange name but I'm nothing like the one you've heard of ( other than a little attitude perhaps ).
I live in a small flat just outside London. That's so I can keep some social life and connection to the real world. But just enough countryside to live a peaceful life when the big city gets too much to handle.
I have a close circle of friends, we go out, party like any other 22 year olds, but I like to think that we can also hangout with no drink or loud over bearing music and still manage to hold a decent meaningful conversation.
In fact, I was waiting for one of those wonderful friends. Rae, possibly one of my closet friends, well at least the one I've known the longest.
She's been practically family since I met her in college; sadly we had to split for university, just keeping in touch by emails and the wonder that is Facebook. But now, back in the same city, we made the foundations for a new set of friends, and are more in sync than ever before.
Looking up over my cup of coffee, my eyes cross the café floor, and land on the eyes of redhead sitting just a few tables from me.
They were endearing eyes, a deep brown, not like chocolate, but so much better than that. We were both caught in a battle of wills, who would look away first? I carried on looking and she sent me a sexy smirk causing me to blush and nearly shy away from the situation altogether.
But I stuck with it, carried on looking in to those eyes; trying, as I did so, to take in all of the beautiful features on this woman's face.
The ring of the coffee shop door broke both of our gazes and soon enough Rae bounded in pulling me in to a hug, completely blocking my view, o how I hate her sometimes.
By the time Rae was seated across from me and had ordered herself I coffee, I looked up to find those eyes again and they were gone, along with the women I so wanted to know more about.
Just my luck!
I looked back over to my best friend who was looking at me with a huge grin spread across her face.
"What's that face for then?" I ask hoping for her to tell me a long winded story since I couldn't be assed to explain the saddened look that has just graced me; and also, frankly I didn't know why I was so disappointed.
"I just had possibly the greatest night ever in the 22 wonderful years I've spent on this earth..."
She continued to ramble on about some new guy she had met, think he was called Ted, or something like that anyway. I had completely zoned out constantly looking at the table she had been sat at.
Yeah I knew that I liked women, have done for a looong time, but I've never felt this want to know more with anyone. But anyway, she was just some random girl that I would most likely never see again; so time to give up.
"... Thought we could go out clubbing tonight?"
"Huh?!" I grunted at her, surprised that I had zoned out for so long.
"Nai? Were you listening to a word I just said?"
"Honestly? No, didn't hear a word of it."
Luckily Rae was used to this so just laughed it off not before giving one of her 'stern' looks. "Well we're going clubbing tonight so you can meet Ted, (see I was right) and perhaps find you a lady friend, so you stop perving on me."
"You wish!" I reply chuckling along with her "Ok then sorted, ring me later and we'll sort it out. This Ted bloke better be nice by the way; only the best for my girl." I finished winking over at her.
After that we went our separate ways, me finding my way home, but still with that mysterious redhead on my mind.
A/N: I'm back, and hopefully with a whole new story for you guys. So hoped you enjoyed that and let me know if you think I should continue this. I've got some ideas already so hopefully this should run a bit more smoothly than Emily's Weakness (epic fail in parts). So yeah, review, alert etc. Would be great to hear what you think and any possible ideas :)
Much love Neps x x
