Matty

How i stayed this calm was phenomenal. I couldn't even believe it myself, there she was. Her hair had reached below her tight arse, the color in her hair was so soft i wanted to run my fingers through it. The smoothed curls in her hair reminded me of all the times i brushed it out of her eyes. I was breathless, literally. I watched her arm reach behind her head exposing her waistline. My mouth watered as her hand pulled off her cute brimmed hat.

Turn around...turn around

I thought heavily. It was as if the devil himself was puppeteering Naomi. Ever so slowly she began to turn around, i heard footsteps behind me. I wanted to see who it was but my eyes were stuck on seeing her face again. My heart was hammering in my chest each beat pumping louder and louder. The feel of her skin crawled all over my senses. Her smoothed face began to reach my eyes, her long dark lashes batted at me. Her overly pink lips were so attractive. I wanted to run my fingers across those lips, those sweet lips of hers. I must've looked like a fool, i felt the stiffness in my posture, i could feel the air running over my mouth as it was open. My eyes running all over her, the sight of her. I was devouring her, becoming drunk on her presence once again.

"Matty..." She breathed. Everything came rushing back to my ears. The sound of the person breathing behind us, the sound of the cars rushing through the streets, i felt the coldness in the room from the air conditioning, even the sun seemed to shine brighter as my eyes really focused on Naomi. It was the most supernatural feeling i had ever experienced. Naomi had this pull, i had to hold her. I simply had to feel her. My mind and heart was filled with excitement and wonder, my feet began to move with a mind of their own. In a matter of seconds the space between us was enclosed, my body had melted. It melted to Naomi's. The small of her waist, the feel of her body wrapped in my mind gave me the biggest sense of security. A small gasp left her lips as i knew she was shocked. Honestly i was shocked myself. I did not know what i was doing, i was simply acting on instinct. My hands wound in her hair rubbing the soft locks between my shaky fingers. My nose inhaled her rose scent, she changed her body wash. My breathing was rapid as Naomi put her arms around me. Slowly i felt her shake. My brows furrowed as i pulled away but not enough to leave space between us. Dripping down her beautiful face was a warm tear. Her crystal eyes were looking right into mine, her face began to droop with sadness as more tears puddled in her eyes.

"No. No please don't." I coo'd to her wrapping her tighter in my arms. Naomi buried her face in my chest as her body began to rack with sobs. "No you beautiful girl please don't cry. Please." I repeated in her ear probably smashing her body against mine. I didn't care, i just wanted to comfort her. More than anything i wanted to kiss her.

"That's enough mate." A familiar voice said over my shoulder. I shut my eyes holding her for a moment longer. Adam came around my shoulder with Ross trailing him,

"Come on Naomi." Ross said pulling her out of my grip. I let go with heaviness in my heart, but i knew if i could live in this moment forever i would.

"Matty, i've got something to show you." Adam said pulling me in a different direction than Naomi. Her head was hung as she was wiping her tears. My fingers twitched with the urgency to wipe them. As i turned the corner Naomi was gone. I felt like i could finally breathe. I wondered how she felt. I wonder what she was thinking right now and why she was crying.

"Mate, are you listening?" Adam said shaking my shoulder. I snapped my eyes to him,

"Yeah..soz." i said clearing my throat. Adam nodded walking to a chest, he opened it and pulled out two rings still in their encased box. He walked back holding his hand out so i too could see it, "Bloody hell...Ross really outdid himself." I muttered looking at the rock of a ring Nick would be wearing. And i smirked at the simplicity in Ross's ring.

"I need a favour." Adam said putting the box in my hand,

"What is it?" I asked holding the box with the upmost care.

"I need you to take these rings to get them engraved, they are a secret do not tell Nick. I'll text the address tonight before bed. But...you have to go with Naomi. Naomi will take one ring and you will take the other." I blinked a few times...

"So you're saying Naomi and i are presenting the rings..." i said shakily. Adam sighed,

"Yes. They still want both of you to present the rings." Adam said standing up. His eyes were averted to something behind me, with the smallest patter was two feet. I looked down seeing the girl. Her hair was braided in a tiny mess. Running quickly behind her was Jordan, the shortness in her hair took me off guard, i was so used to her long hair.

"George! George hurry!" Jordan yelled, on cue George was scurrying right behind Jordan with his phone stretched up. They had to have been recording Skye, i watched her run past Adam's open arms but her baby feet were not so developed the change from wood to carpet was not something she was used to. Her feet got caught in on the edge of the carpet tripping her. Instantly i saw her falling, Jordan's piercing scream shot me off the couch and threw my arms to catch Skye. With a hard thud and the cries of Skye i rolled over gripping her tightly in my arms sure to keep her from harms way. I clenched my fists as the impact of something wooden hit my head. A wave of confusion and blurriness washed over me. I looked down seeing Skye with wet cheeks, but she was fine. No blood, no cuts, just scared.

"Matty! Matty! Can you hear me?" George yelled pulling me over. I could barely keep my eyes open,

"Skye..get..Skye." I said loosening my grip on her. George pulled her from arms, there were more footsteps and the sounds of sobs filling my ears.

"Matty..oh fu.ck!" The sound of her voice was enough to pull me back, "Hey, hey! Look at me. Talk to me." Naomi said grabbing my face in her hands. The feeling of her skin was sensational.

"Hi." i croaked out lifting my head to get a better view of her. A crooked laugh fell from her lips as she visibly relaxed,

"He's fine. Someone get him some water and ice." She ordered. "I'm going to help you up." She repeated grabbing my elbow and lacing her hand in mine. My heart picked up speed as she held on tight really pulling me up. How did she get so strong? "Are you dizzy? Are you sleepy?" She asked with the upmost concern.

"W-what the hell...how did that even happen." I asked trying to sit up straight but my body must have been bruised.

"I think because of how hard you threw yourself you kinda...flipped yourself." Naomi said grabbing the ice pack from Adam and handing me a bottle of water. I took it and felt the sting of the ice seep into my skin.

"Thank you." i said once i swallowed my cold water, Naomi nodded with a quick smile.

"It's funny that a moment ago i was crying and now you're all bruised up and bleeding." Naomi commented moving the ice further down my face.

"I'm always bruised up and bleeding." I said smiling at her. Naomi smirked,

"Hi." She said, my stomach was flipping with excitement as a sliver of the old Naomi resurfaced.
