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

*********
Jazzy was leaving the hospital today so I decided to help her pack. Her mom called to cancel on picking her up so her brother was supposed to. I met Ryan and Bulldog in-front of her door busy chit chatting and laughing about something I couldn't make a word out of. This time, I stayed for a long chat with them. They were friendly and very funny. We were in the middle of a joke Ryan was telling when we heard a sarcastic comment from an annoyed gorgeous man, Devon and i still ask myself why I thought he was gorgeous at that moment. I must have inhaled something weird. I excused myself and waltzed inside to help Jazzy pack instead, whatever happened back there, I had no idea. I wasn't his friend so I definitely wasn't going to stay there and chit chat. A few minutes after I entered Jazzy's room to help her pack, they came in. And again, he was the one who had something to say. He was a tall well moulded man, but even his aura was arrogant and quite demeaning if that was even the right description. I didn't like him one bit. He was just so full of himself and his stature was overly intimidating but when he opens his mouth to sing, it was like looking at two different people. An Angel and a devil. Him and I do not mix and he seemed quite dangerous to be around.

Then Ryan invited me to some function in honour of Jazzy which was hard to say no. But I decided to bring a special someone and a few more which he gladly okayed it. Well, he didn't mention who the guest of honour was but I concluded Jazzy was definitely the main guest of honour. Jazzy made fun about me having a boyfriend which made me laugh and I could swear I heard that man scoff like almost a whisper.

I almost banged my head with Devon's when I tried pulling Jazzy's sheets from under her legs and Devon was trying to carry her from the bed. I locked eyes with him and holy God were they breathtaking. They were slightly blue with a deep pinch of brown around his pupils. He smiled when he noticed I was staring longer than I have since I met him and I immediately regained my senses back to earth by clearing my throat.

"All set. Do you need a wheel to the car or you will just stay up there with your brother?", I asked Jazzy who was carried princess style by Devon smiling sheepishly at me. She was still deciding between the wheel and his strong arms when Ryan pulled the wheel infront of her making us laugh.

"She will be riding the wheel because I need to have access to her puffy cheeks. I can't touch them way up there", we laughed us Devon gently dropped Jazzy in the wheel safely. I was almost out the door when Jazzy whistled.

"Where do you think you're going doc, aren't you gonna give your favourite patient a ride to her car, to make sure she got there safe and sound?", Devon said sweetly and I could swear there was a hint of deviousness rushing out of that smirk.

Jazzy frowned raising her eyebrows at me,"Soooooo..... you were just gonna leave Naomi?", she asked sadly.

"No puffdoll, I'm not going anywhere. What's the point of saying goodbye anyway when I'm gonna see you almost everyday", I said making her giggle with a tickle,"I will personally give you the wheeling ride mi amor", then she laughed again with Ryan and Bulldog laughing along at how I slanged my spanish. I couldn't read Devon's facial expression, but the least I could think of was how much I wanted to wipe that smirk off his face, Jesus, not again.

I actually regretted not making an excuse to just say goodbye to Jazzy and promise her a year visit after we went through the elevator with Devon whispering some song notes and Ryan making jokes till the elevator opened on the third floor revealing a bunch of doctors and nurses exclaiming and woowing to the guy behind me who for some childish reason kept bumping his knees behind my legs, even with the death glares I gave him, he smiled and continued anyway. They were loads of people with flashing camera pushing and shoving eachother to get a picture of Devon which his bodyguards were very protective of. We got to the private parking and spotted his car with his initials on the plate. Devon buckled Jazzy in his car, walked towards me with just half an inch between us. I learned back a little bit and then took a step back but he got closer. I felt a rush of adrenaline inside me causing small pimples dressing me up all over my body. I cleared my throat and pushed past him to Jazzy's side of the far and fever get a nose rub. She seemed to like that a lot.

"Will you come visit lots of times?", Jazzy asked smiling with pleading eyes.

"Eerrr...",I stammered looking for an excuse.

"You are not gonna disappoint my lil nightmare, right Naomi?", Devon interferred earning a killer glare from me.

"I wasn't going to......", mannn it was hard getting excuses these days.

"Ohh sorry my bad. So then what were you gonna say?, two visits every week?", I opened my mouth in awe just like Jazzy who beamed with delight.

"That will be awesome Naomi, we can even go to the beach. Pleaaasseee say yes Naomi, pretty pleasseee?", Jazzy pleaded. What was wrong with that guy?, I worked everyday for crying out loud, is not like I was on holidays. I needed to think of a convincing excuse.

"Eermm...here is what we are gonna do. I will visit you twice a week, yes, but only if I have a day off in those particular weeks. What do you think?", I asked waiting for her to rebel.

"That is super cool. I agree. This place is really noisy. Devon is only gonna marry one girl, and that will be the one I choose. They are all just too squeaky...eeww...", she complained making me laugh. Her brother did not look like the type of man ready to settle down.

"Well, I gotta get back to work, and you, need a hot baby bath and some rest. Take your meds on time and rest your eyes more often. Remember, no photos yet or glams, maybe after a week, the flashlights are not a good match for the eyes......", I wasn't even shutting up to breath.

"Okay okay doc, no stress to the fragile golden egg, we get it doc. Now how about some real goodbyes", Devon interrupted me as if what I was saying didn't make any sense. How infuriating can he possibly get at this point.

"I was getting there, excuse you if you have issues with a matured advice", I said proudly turning back to Jazzy. If he looked pissed, I couldn't see but it was fun achieving that.

"You two are funny", Jazzy giggled. "You are so beautiful Naomi, I'm happy I met you", she said hugging me.

"Awww...", I hugged her back. She really reminded me of Junior,"You are breathtaking too Jazzy. See you soon okay, be safe", I said.

"I love you", she surprised me by saying that.

"My...I...I love you too angel, goodbye", I said letting go off her.. I turned to Devon and smiled mischievously at him,"Is miss. Naomi to you. Don't forget that", I said after closing Jazzy's door.

"See you at the function miss. Naomi", he said after I was almost getting close to the hospital door with the screaming echoing everywhere. He left when he saw that I wasn't moving after what he said. My God, he is gonna be there, how annoying is that?.
