THE CHURCH GIRL

CHAPTER 40

----------------NAOMI'S POV-----------

--------------------

Devin and I had a dinner reservation at one of his new restaurants which was reserved for just two. We had been together for over two months now, so we decided to do something outside as a change of scenery. Julia had been a big help. She kept everything to herself and said nothing to no one. He wanted to pick me up from home and we go together so I got dressed alone because Julia was still at work. I had on a silver pleated knee length dress with a short sleeve and gold buttons in the front showing some cleavage and skin on the neck and collar bone area. My hair was in a little messy bun with a bit of fly away curls around it. I put on my channel heels from Ann Marie's gift bag that was delivered to me at work. I heard the doorbell ring and I threw off one heel to go open it.

Devon was leaning by the side of the door when I opened it and he just stared. He rubbed his tongue around the corners of his lips and looked up and down at me smiling, "I'm still not taking it off am I?", I smiled and walked away to get my heel while he let himself in.

"Nope", I replied grabbing my heel from the couch.

"You look stunning. Temptations should be your name but I won't fold love", he teased and made a prayer hand sign. I laughed and grabbed my purse. I turned to gesture to him I'm ready and we can leave but he grabbed my waist and pulled me closer with just a few inches between us.

"Julia could walk in any minute now", I said leaning back so he doesn't get my gloss off.

"And she can enjoy the show too because you are my muse", he leaned in chuckling and I kept dodging my head away laughing, "We are not leaving till you let me do what I want love".

"I don't want you eating up my gross again Dev. Come one we going to be late", I couldn't lean back anymore so I straightened up and used his arm as a support to not fall.

"I will be gentle", he whispered closing the space between us and kissing me trying not to finish off the  flavoured gloss left on my lips. I kissed him back and tried to pull away but he kept going and I just gave in. My hands fell on his chest and he pulled me closer to him showering kisses on my neck and collar bone while I laughed at the tickles.

"Come on Dev let's go".

"Fine, but you are not coming home tonight", he said opening my front door for me to come out.

"I did not agree to that. I have an early shift and you know that", he pretended not to hear me and just smiled. He opened the car door and blocked the edge so I don't hit my head. I smiled appreciatively and got comfortable. He got to his seat and buckled his seatbelt after checking mine.

"You are so beautiful. And I love what you do with your hair, is just perfect. I got you something", I smiled waiting for that something. We got used to go giving each other presents and surprises that any time he says I got you something, I just know he wants something or he wants to lure me to the loft if I couldn't go.

"What do you want Dev?", I asked without hesitation and he clicked his teeth together.

"Nothing. Just want to show you something I got you at the loft that's all", he smirked and then drove off to the restaurant.

The whole place was serene. Quiet with an astute ambience. We were the only two there including the waitress, the chef, and a pianist who was already on his second song. We made jokes and laughed about some random things and also talked about investments and his music. He asked about the hospital and my plans.

"Well I don't think I'll quit or want to. I enjoy working", I stated sipping some water. He looked on in curiosity trying ti figure out what to say.

"But when we get married you would have to quit right. I mean I don't think that much stress will do you any good", well that was surprising because this topic was new.
