THE CHURCH GIRL

Chapter 16

NAOMI'S POV * * * * *

* * * * * *
It had been two days since Jazzy woke up but for some reason which I didn't feel like finding out, most of her visitors were celebrities or maybe I just saw wrong. The news were blazing with the impossible wake up death, I had begged Jazzy's mom to withhold my name for a while before telling the press, and for another odd reason I keep seeing Jazzy's mom and never her father or any other sibling if she had one. I heard some nurses discussing some Devon being related to her but since I never saw a Devon visit her, or any other, I figured maybe it wasn't the Devon I had hoped it was which was dumb of me to think it will be him just because he hears the same name.

Jazzy's room was filled with flowers, balloons, cards, candies; chocolates and ice cream. Looked like that was how to cheer her up. Like the other girls, Jazzy's room was always filled with family but I was never there to witness the loving crowd. Julia had bought macdonald's for lunch and I dug in for my fill. Lisa together with the other doctors had come back from the seminar so the hospital was more crowded than ever. I got well dones from everyone except Samantha and a couple of her kind which didn't even kill my vibe at all. By God I was the only doctor who could operate on shock nerves and it was such ab honour to not bluff about God for that.

Julia and Ella barged in my office when I was getting ready to check on Jazzy for the day to say when she could leave the hospital to go home,"What's up with you two, you will break my door one day if you don't start opening it nicely".

"Stop complaining missy. You won't believe who we just saw", Ella started.

I looked at them, unmoved, "Obama", I teased.

"Much better, Devon", Julia announced proudly but that still didn't move me.

"Okay ladies, I have a patient to attend to so save this drama for later", I walked out on them and they followed.

"We aren't making this up you know, he is really here with two huge men by his side. I think they are his bodyguards", Ella exaggerated.

I nodded with a smile and stepped in the elevator,"Okay Ella. Now you two get back to work before Samantha start breathing fire", and with that the elevator doors closed up. It opened on the next floor when a tall guy stepped in beside me. I didn't bother to look up at him when he said hi and just nodded in response. I pressed four on the elevator wall and hummed in my head. Before the tall guy stepped in the elavator, I could have sworn I had seen him on tv one time but I just couldn't put my hands on what that was about. I shrugged my shoulders and waited for the ding.

I stepped out and he followed which seemed quite creepy because he passed every hall I did. For a minute I thought he was a stalker till I passed Jazzy's corner and he stopped to talk to a doctor who looked like they knew eachother very well.

I almost got confused when I saw two strange huge men standing infront of Jazzy's room. Well I didn't authorise for bodyguards so who the heck are these people. I picked up my pace and got there faster than I expected and gazed at the two men who weren't only intimidating but serious looking too. As for me, my dad could be a witness, as long as the bible says the Lord is my light and my salvation, I feared no one. They both nodded for me to go in as if I was a repented terrorist getting permission to enter my own room. Well I wasn't having any of that because that little girl in there was my patient and I am not gonna tolerate any insecurities or frights for her.

I stood infront of the tall men and smilled nicely,"Who are you?, is there a problem, do I need to call security?", I asked knowing exactly what to expect, bodyguards.

"No doc, you don't have to. We are friends of the patient and her brother. We are just waiting on him and her for now", one of the huge men replied nicely with a nice smile as if he knew what I would have done if they made any wrong impressions. Satisfied with their answer, I was about to enter the room when I saw from the corner of my eyes the guy from the elevator earlier. I ignored the coincidence and figured if he was stalking me and did anything evil, atleast these huge men will do what they were paid to do. I entered Jazzy's room beaming with joy only to find some guy sitting on her bed beside her playing video games with her. Well they seemed happy and into the game. I ignored the guy and went to my patient.

"How is my favourite patient doing?", Jazzy and the guy looked up to me sharply forgetting their video game as Jazzy smiled joyfully with her arms opened for a hug. The guy on the other hand, I didn't really pay attention to just seemed star strucked because he didn't move an inch except focused his gaze on me.

"You are late Naomi, you said four pm sharp", Jazzy pouted.

"Awww, don't be grumpy, I was making a booster appetite for another cute patient like you, forgiven?", I asked laughing.

"Ohh yeahhh miss Naomi", I laughed,"This is Devon, my bother, Devon meet Naomi, my doctor", and there he was. That Devon. It was him all along. The reason the news and reporters won't shut up. I met his eyes, composed myself quickly and stretched forth my right hand for a shake. He was drooling and staring way to much to notice when I said hi. Like he had seen a ghost he had been looking for. I was just shocked that's all. Ohhh his eyes were to die for but when he kept staring, it felt intoxicating.

"Hi", he finally said with a hand up for a shake smiling like a puppy learning how to skate which was funny and cute too.

We shook hands and I ended up sneezing so loud Jazzy had to laugh. I guess I inhaled too much of him.

"Are you okay?", the Devon asked which made me sneeze again.

"Sorry,...yeah I'm fine, is just your cologne. Too strong", I said point blank which I realised he may feel bad and I should have just held my tongue for a while but oh well, I said what I said. I was hoping he will get upset and throw a tantrum but, he just smiled that smile again and I almost felt my knees buckle.

"Sorry, I will wait outside then", he had almost exit the room when Jazzy had to have a runny mouth.

"Do you have a boyfriend Naomi?", that was a surprising question even for me. I raised my eyebrows in surprise and smiled at the lil girl. To avoid talking, I nodded my head and she just smiled which I didn't know whether she understood or not but for the betterment of it, that was solved. I heard voices outside the room and I figured it was just people talking, is not like we were the only ones in the hospital.

"Do you like my brother?", Jazzy was really up to quiz me today, where from that next question. Did I give anything away to suggest such.

"I'm I supposed to like him miss Jazzy?", so I questioned back.

"Of course yeahh, he is a celebrity. He has won a lot of awards including favourite bachelor of the year. He shows me all of his awards and I'm the first to judge his album before is released", she announced excitedly. No wonder there had been lots of tv people around and inside the hospital, yayyy not surprised anymore. What were the odds of her being his sister. Life is something else.

"I bet you are. You ready to go home?", I asked happily.

"Yaayyyy when when whennnn Naomi? ", she got up.

"Ohhhh do you terribly wanna leave me that much, I thought we were best friends already", I pouted snuggly.

"Oh noo Naomi, I will come back everyday to see you or maybe I will stay here with you if school burns down one day", she made me laugh, "I'm not gonna leave today right because you are my best friend and I do not want to leave you ever", she threw herself at me with a warming hug which almost got me teary. She makes me miss my brother.

"No sweet pea, you will leave next week today after your last tests are done. I will miss you lil angel", I said still hugging her.

"I will miss you too Naomi", she said with a tiny sob.

"If you start crying on me lil ant I will eat you up", I tickled her which made her laugh. So far, this was the best patient ever who recovered so quickly without any trace of past events.
