Don't Look Down

Silver Lining

Naomi's P.O.V

What is happening right now? I mean I was sleeping a minute ago and now suddenly Martin is in my room asking me on a date? This boy is crazy! I know I accepted but the look on his face... it just showed me that he really was sorry and if I would have said no I would have surely disappointed him.

He didn't tell me where we were going so I wore shorts, a black top, my army jacket and boots. While I was putting some make up on I remembered about yesterday's cuts and since I hated when people see my scars, I covered them up with foundation.

I went downstairs, got my penny and Martin and I were off.

First he took me to the beach. We went in this little diner and ordered some breakfast. When we sat down I,out of the blue, started to remember about the whole Ellie situation and I knew that Martin noticed.

M: What's wrong?

He grabs my hand but I swiftly remove it.

M: If it's about yesterday I just want you to know it's over between me and Ellie.

N: Yeah, but she threatened to remove my contract with Spinnin Records if I keep seeing you.

M: She can't do that!

N: She actually can. Look I really like you, but Ellie is making my life a living hell.

M: I will not let her do that. Naomi I care about you and I wouldn't let her do anything to you.

He was so adorable I couldn't say no. Thankfully the food came and we were soon talking and laughing. When we were finished we went for a walk by the beach. Martin took out his phone.

'I want to remember this moment.'

And he, very cheekily, went behind me and kissed me on the cheek. He snapped a picture and started running. I was stunned! I started running after him and he ran straight into the water. I really didn't want to get wet, so I just stopped at the edge.

M: You are coming in this water whether you like it or not!

N: No way!

He suddenly ran up to me and grabbed me. He splashed me face flat into the water. I was angry at him so I jumped on his back and we spent half of our day just jumping around and having a great time. I was so happy! Nothing bothered me; not the wet clothes or Ellie, nothing! I was so caught up in the moment that there was a certain point where I just forgot about everything and just breathe.

M: You look beautiful.

N: Okay now you're just messing with me.

M: No you are. You're like the perfect girl. You skate, you like food...

N: No, I LOVE food!

M: See you are perfect!

And then to make the night even MORE perfect, he gently cupped my face in between his hands and he gently, yet passionately kissed me. It was amazing just like the first time, but now I knew it wasn't a mistake.
