I honestly teared up when I wrote this, okay laters.

Let's go!

Naomi's POV:

"Yeah, I know. That's why I love you."

My insides instantly go warm as I look back at him with heating cheeks. A smile plastered on my face then looking back forward to have it stolen away from me.

"Ms. De Guzman." I froze at my front door with Kenneth's shoulder slightly hitting my back.

"What's wro-- What are you doing here?!" Kenneth voice erupts beside me and I have to stretch out my arm against the door frame to stop him from moving any further.

"I see there really is a problem." Mr. Cole states. "Mind telling what it is?" He asks looking from me to Sean who was hiding slightly behind him.

"Nothing. Can we just please leave?" Sean quietly asks him.

"No, we need her. Remember?"

"Need her for what?" Kenneth asks annoyingly from behind me.

"C."

I silently gasp as I remembered the contract I signed with them. The contract that stated that I had to take part of their projects, basically even if my life depended on it.

Sean and I painfully made quick eye contact before we both looked our separate ways. He did this to us, not me. He kissed me, he ruined everything.

"What the heck is 'C'?" Kenneth whispers to me.

I remove my hand from the door frame and turn back to him, "Can you give us a moment?" I asked him.

His face grows agitated and pulls me further into my home. I stumble at my feet at his unexpected action and I have to force my feet to catch up with his pace.

"You have to tell me right now. What is 'C'?!" He whisper yelled at me.

I flinch at his sudden attitude change and step back a bit.

"I-it's a video concept I have to be in." I answered nervously.

"What do you mean you have to be in it?!" My skinned jumped at his tone and I move further away.

"I'm sorry." He stepped back. "I'm just... worried." He sighed.

"Worried about what?" I finally stepped forward.

"Worried Sean is just gonna--"

"Gonna what?"

"Win you over?" He hesitantly replied.

Forcing myself not flush just keeps getting harder and harder with this kid. How am I supposed to hide my blush when he's right in front of me?

"Sorry to interrupt," Kenneth and I both turn to the doorway to see Mr. Cole and Sean watching us intently, "but Sean and Naomi have things to fix." He continued.

"We don't have anything to fix." I answered with an indirect to Sean.

"Yes, you do. Where's your mom?" He suddenly asks.

"In the kitchen?" I guessed, hugging my arms.

"Someone said 'mom'?" My mom softly laughs as she enters our living room.

"Oh hello, ma'am." He extends his hand out for her to shake. "My name is Jason Cole, I'm working with your daughter for a project. May I talk to you in private?"
