THE CHURCH GIRL

Chapter 31

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

* * * * * * * *
This night couldn't have gotten any worse after my victory smile from the rooftop earlier. Devon sure knew how to get on my nerves but he was interesting. He was rude and flirty but he was gentle and sweet. I needed to get away from him to control myself. He was crazy and knew how to ask for things without being turned down but the look on his face when I declined his date showed me that was a first. I looked behind me and he was right on my toes. He leaned against the elevator wall and gazed at me smirking like he had me. I rushed into the elevator as soon as I heard ding and the door opened.

He stepped in, smiled and shook his head at me. He proceeded to lean against it behind me and continue the staring. I felt so uneasy. I could feel my Dre's just slipping off, "What's the hurry?". He whispered leaning back against my ear.

"I'm trying to get away from you psycho". I retorted back still not looking at him. I could still feel his warm minty breath over my shoulder. I heard him snicker and then he took a deep breath.

"I could have you right here right now if you let me. That would include the date though", he whispered making me jump up a little away from him.

"You are such a sick weirdo. And once again, no, I won't let you, or go on some date with you. Enough with the whispering near my ears and the smirks and with the undressing with your eyes. Yes i see it, enough already, my dress isn't going to fall of just because you stare at my body for a long time, now move aside", I kept pressing more numbers on the elevator for it to open faster because why was it taking so long.

He smiled like he was so satisfied with himself for whatever reason. He pressed the urgency button to get the elevator to open and just before it did, he leaned in closer with his lips right next to my neck, hands in pockets. "I know how I make you feel. And I also know where to touch to get a reaction, is just a matter of time and I will have you all to myself". I heard ding and the door opened. He walked out leaving me in shock. I couldn't move my feet and the elevator door closed back on me. I went back to my senses, pressed the open button and stepped out.

I had a phone call as soon as I took about four steps. I rushed outside to take it and met a serene ambiance which was perfect. I swiped to answer the call of this new number,"Hello?".

"Naomi, is me Ana Maria", my sister sounded scared.

"Ana, whose number is this, are you okay?", I asked almost terrified.

"No Naomi. Where are you?, I couldn't reach you from the hospital so I tried your cellphone,....Naomi..."..I heard my sister sob and sniff at the other end of the line. Now I was worried.

"Ana, calm down and tell me what's going on. I didn't have a shift today so I came to a function I was invited to with Julia. Why are you crying Ana?", I asked with so much concern. Ana Maria was very sensitive. She will cry to anything that hurt needed a few head shakes.

I heard her sniff,"Naomi, is dad. He had a seizure again. This one was really bad and he doesn't want to go the hospital".

"Again?. What do you mean again", I was confused and quite upset. No one even told me the first and now is okay to tell me the second.

"Mimi, we wanted to tell you, but dad didn't want to distract you or get you worried....", she sniffed,"We thought it was nothing serious the first time and two days later today, he had another one which was worse than the first. He won't budge from the bed to go to the hospital and we are very worried".

God have mercy on him,"Did you call Mrs. Dante?".

"Yeah, she is in surgery. Naomi he will listen to you. Come home, just do something. Check up on him, find out what went wrong, please Mimi", She started calling me Mimi when I was about four and it never stopped.
