THE CHURCH GIRL

Chapter 21

*****NAOMI'S POV*****

* * * * *
"I don't even know what to do anymore Mrs. Dante. Is like offloading past feelings on the ground without going back to pick them up. They may want my help for the money and not be affected by feelings or my family's, still they had no right", I said sniffing again. This wasn't easy for me.

"So tell the story the right way. Let them feel how you feel. They may have said it with no consciousness but you give them that honour of knowing who Junior was. He got a crazy man on a death row for justice and he also saved a woman's life. He got there in time way before anyone could, so why don't you share him to the world. Forget about the hospital or the money, think of it as you doing yourself a favour", Mrs.Dante said rubbing my arm.

"I will have to talk to my family first. I can't just talk about my brother on tv like that, they might be caught off guard. Besides none of us talks about him eventhough is all boiling inside of us waiting to explode", I sighed,"...but I think you are right. I need to talk about this whether they are on board with me or not, I can't live like that as if everything is fine when is not", I said.

"Whoever made that million dollar donation to get you on tv really wants to see you on tv", Mrs.Dante teased smiling.

"That guy is nuts if he thinks I'm gonna call him out for a befitting donation. It would rather be a befitting burial for him soon. How dare he even use his own sister, how crazy is that right", I said when suddenly Julia barged cheerfully.

"Have you heard, Devon made a donation and the hospital is going on national television. He is even here to see Jazzy. Oh God hold me that guy is fine.  You should see him all dressed up just visiting", and with that I walked away to Jazzy's floor to give that pathetic guy a piece of my mind whilst Mrs.Dante fills Julia in on what kind of person he is.

When I stepped in Jazzy's room furiously, I saw her mom and Devon playing out some songs to her cheerfully. Oh mannn I didn't wanna ruin this moment but my brain couldn't wait. Her mom looked up at me and smiled making Devon and Jazzy's attention drift off to me. I smiled back at her and went inside.

"Hi Naomi, we just wanted Jazzy to pick out some songs for a surprise party. Hope is okay?", the mom asked innocently.

"Oh yeah yeah, is fine", I smiled at Jazzy who gave me a wink. If only her brother could stop staring at me like I'm some displayed doll in a fragile showcase in a museum. Selfish maniac, God forgive me. Did his sister also approve of this interview because this family seemed like they did.

"Naomi, you and I need to talk pleaseeeee. Is about our friendship. I just wanna be sure I will have you visiting me at home too and not just the hospital", Jazzy said laughing which got me to laugh too.

"Yeah, we need to talk about our schedules but for now, I need to have a little chat with Mr. Devon here if that's okay", I said.

"Geez I'm not that old, just Devon is fine. Where do you want us to talk?", he winked at me. Wow this guy was full of the s*** word.

"Outside", I said as he followed me. Lucky me this time, his huge men weren't around. The moment we stepped outside I turned and stamped on his feet so hard that I even felt my toes almost crack. He didn't make a sound of excruciating pain like I expected and that ticked me off, "Next time is a hammer you coward. How dare you use your family crises and me to make more money and fame?".

"First of all, your leg stamping tickled and second of all, what the hell are you talking about?", he said so calm that if I wasn't angry, I would have smiled.

"Oh don't play dumb with me. You think I'm stupid. Look, you can't just go around throwing money to hungry pockets like you feel like. If you don't know what to do with a million dollars, I suggest you go to haiti or an orphanage in desperate need of help and give them that money because this hospital is shamelessly wallowing for money even with all they already have!", I said furiously as he just stared at me smiling.

"Wow, I didn't know how to get you to talk or see me again but if I knew this will get to you this much I would have done it the first time I saw you. You really are even more beautiful when angry", he said calmly with so much authority in his voice, almost like a relaxing tone a therapist will use. I wonder why I found that attractive.

My goodness this guy was really dumb, he was flirting with me,"Oh my God you are just as I thought. Let me get this straight through your thick skull, I will talk about my brother, even Jazzy but I'm not doing this for you or the hospital. If I wanted to go on national television, my room would have started as a studio. Oh and don't worry, I won't even call you out for a second to talk about your donation you...you are not even worth it", I didn't even know what to call him.

He was even smirking,"Oh I'm not worried, trust me, my name will pop up when you least expect it. It happens all the time".

"I guess they will answer their own questions then since I don't even know you. I have met guys like you,  and believe me, you are nowhere close to the bull's eye, tell your mom and Jazzy I said bye", before I could walk away, Jazzy's mom came out calling after me. I turned and her son was still wearing that cheesy smirk.

"Naomi, I wanted to say thank you for agreeing to go on national television. We didn't know how to ask you personally and we wanted the whole world to know how you saved my daughter's life", okay so that guy was just an accomplice, well I still wasn't apologising. I just gave a stiff nod and a fake smile.

"Well miss Naomi even agreed to pay regular visits to Jazzy at home too. Isn't she such an angel", he said smiling. God help me I wanted to slap him right infront of his mom. I couldn't say anything insensitive because of how his mom joyfully smiled appreciatively at me.

"Thanks a lot Naomi. For everything", she smiled.

I cleared my throat,"You are welcome, I will leave you two now. I have to attend to other patients".

"I can walk you if you want...", he started.

I knew he was teasing,"No thanks, is just a few rooms", I said stiffly making his mom eye him. He just smiled and kissed her hair. That guy was annoying and I hoped and prayed our paths never cross after this. I walked away quickly to my floor blazing with killer fists in my coat pocket.

********THERE IS THIS SAYING THAT WHEN YOU PRAY FOR YOUR BLESSINGS AND IS SITTING RIGHT INFRONT OF YOU BUT U CANT SEE IT, IS LIKE WISHING ON A STAR TO FALL ON YOU WHICH IS POINTLESS. *****GOD I LOVE YOU***
