THE CHURCH GIRL

Chapter 34

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

***************

I got to Jazzy's gate and some men on wallow talkies signalled for the door to be opened. It was a gated area, but each house looked like a penthouse with us own neighbourhood. I started to crave buying my own place and if Julia will agree or bulge her eyes out and stop me from staying on my own. Iv had thought about buying a small penthouse or flat in a couple of months so I can have where I want to go when I need some space to clear my head.

I noticed a little figure pop out of a large door running towards my car as I pulled into the packing space. I got out and Jazzy jumped on me for a hug laughing hysterically. She was all ready for this beach. I laughed and carried her up to give her a kiss on the cheeks. She gave me four kisses on both my cheeks and laughed.

"Hiiii Mimi", oh wow, mimi here too, "Can I call you Mimi?, I just took the Mi from Naomi and added another Mi, it sounded cute like you", she smiled proudly.
"Yes munchkin, you can call me whatver you want, I like Mimi too", I smiled back while she pulled me along to go inside with her.

Julia called a few minutes later that she was already at the gate and was pulling in. I had already told them she was coming so they don't hassle her with questions. She ubered instead of using her car because she didn't want to drive.

Jazzy and I waited for her outside and we all walked inside together. As if the universe had its own plans, it started to rain heavily which made Julia and I exchange confused looks and Jazzy frowning to almost crying.

"Don't worry Jazz, we can do the beach another time. Why don't you show me your room and we do some play date in here for today?", she started to smile and nodded. She run inside as her mom walked over to us smiling warmly.

"Can I get you girls some coffee, oh too hot, how about some sparkling wine", Julia beamed so widely till she said non alcohol and it turned into a frown. I burst into laughter and nodded in approval.

We played with Jazzy for about twenty minutes when Julia got a call to come over to work because of an emergency. She begged ti use my car and that she will pick me up right after she is done there. I agreed and handed her the key. After an hour, I was already tired and I had tucked Jazzy in for her afternoon nap which oo are you had been happening quite frequently.

I had waited an hour more for Julia and she still wasn't back yet so I told Jazzy mom I wanted to leave. She insisted a wait a few more hours and that she had called someone to pick me up. I was grateful because I wasn't ready to walk all the way out of that long distance after that rainfall. I was tired and hungry and my tummy won't stop rumbling after I had turned down every food or snack offer from the fine lady.

After ten minutes, I heard some voices and Ryan first walked in. I beamed with assignment till it faded when Devon was right behind him. I rolled my eyes in disappointment and ignored them both.

"Hiiii Naomi. You look lovely", Ryan walked over to me and gave me a little hug and a kiss on the cheeks. I smiled breathily at him and asked him how he was doing and about his day.

"Okay I'm ready. When can we leave?", I was too hungry to wait any longer. He looked at me confused and smiled like I was some adorable puppy.

"Oh I am dropping you off. Since you keep ignoring me, I decided to do same this time. Ryan is dropping Jazzy off at our grandmother's. So yeah doc, is just you and me", Devon announced smiling from ear to ear like we err having some sort of challenge.

I sighed heavily and just smiled back. I was hungry, exhausted and tired. I wasn't in the mood to argue so I just whispered okay which surprised him a bit. I said my goodbyes and headed out with him.

"You really won't talk to me?", he sounded a bit hurt but I still looked away. He led me to his own private parking and opened the car door for me to go in. He got in to his side and before he put on his seatbelt, he turned to me and noticed I hadn't done it yet. I forgot about it. I learned over to do it and I met his eyes. He smiled and just stared. I wasn't sure what he wanted to do so I just cleared my throat and looked away. He grabbed the belt and clipped it in then I realised that was what he was trying to do. I was actually grateful but I didn't need him to know that. His shirt got stuck on my top zipper as he tried to lean back in his seat. He raised his eyes to meet mine and I just stared at his lips. They were plump and soo inviting. Pink and super moisturised like it was a habit. He noticed I wasn't helping with his shirt but rather lost in thoughts string at his lips when I bit mine and sucked it in and out.

Now it was his turn to clear his throat, "Do you mind?", he smiled again realising I actually took my time to stare at his lips for that long. I murmured oh and adjusted the zip to free his shirt. That was embarrassing, even for me. He didn't say a word.

He started the car then tired to me, "I know you aren't happy to see me but can you atleast pretend you are, I am actually your ticket home right now", he said calmly.

"Why did you agree to come drop me off. I'm sure you had other important things to do", I found my voice but it was still shaken.

"Because I wanted to see you", he he didn't hesitate, not even for a second. I blushed but looked away. I had given hime enough armour to use already.

"Can we go now please?", I asked ignoring his eyes. My tummy started rumbling like it was sick of me not obliging to its orders.

"Oh wow ", that almost sounded like mockery rather than concern. I held my tummy in and boy my lips, "How about we get you something to eat first?".

"No thanks, I'm fine", I didn't sound very convincing.

"Come on Naomi. I'm trying to help you out here", he calmly still blocking my way.

"I didn't ask you to", then my rumbling stomach started making noise again, like shouting for help on my behalf.

"I will even be generous enough to take you to McDonald's or starbucks", he said smiling.

I looked up at him and sighed,"What do you want?".

"Just a date. You won't regret it", he smiled.

He looked adorable when he smiled and I needed the food so bad so I gave in,"If I am going to have real food with you close by, could you at least make sure there are no cameras poking around. I've had it with my face being attached to yours in magazines and confused bloggers posts", I needed that assurance more than anything.

"I can't promise you that for now, but I will call ahead just to have the privacy. Oh and I'm case I didn't tell you earlier, I know you were staring at my lips, but don't worry, I already fantasised about yours and still do", I sighed and smiled a little bit while I looked outside the window as he drove off.

********
Thankfully, I didn't see any obvious lurking reporter around McDonald's so I just shrugged and got out of the car before he opened it for me. He had changed in his car to wear a dark glasses and a hoodie shirt which I thought was pretty obvious. I took the hoodie off and rubbed my fingers through his hair and left the glasses on. Now he looked like a tired bank worker hiding his dark under eyes. He smiled in agreement and headed inside.

******** vote on the star , thank you.
