THE CHURCH GIRL

CHAPTER 44

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

....................

I folded my arms and leaned against the wall beside the door looking up at him. I didn't know how to feel or react. Just him standing there, right in-front of me was drawing back emotions I thought I had discarded and thrown away but I guess it wasn't gone completely.

"Aren't you gonna invite me in?", the nerve of this guy.

"Nope, state your purpose for this uninvited visit and head back your way sir", oh my foot was tight but I was hoping my knees were stronger. He smelled amazing. I wasn't going to show him any kind of loophole for him to think he can just waltz in here.

"Naomi, I just need to talk to you. Okay fine don't let me in. Let's go have breakfast and then we can talk. Just you and I", I could smack this dude right there and I will gladly go to jail for it.

"You don't seem to have anything sensible to say so, goodbye sir", I turned to open the door and he stopped me stepping forward and almost bumping into me. My knees were starting to disappoint again because he was too close.

"Please back up a little bit, I need some space", I didn't want to touch him, so I tried to move aside but he moved back to create enough space. Atleast he still had some manners.

"I'm not leaving till we talk".

"You have one minute thirty seconds, use it wisely", I said looking at my wristwatch.

"Naomi..... okay fine I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything", I wasn't convinced and to be honest, I really didn't care neither was I moved.

"One minute left".

"Can you please stop...... I know I should have kept in touch, and I'm sorry I didn't. I had a lot going on and I was new at this and I couldn't keep up at the same time with everything else I had a hand in....".

"Great story. Time up, have a good day", I slammed the door in this face before he could say anything else. I rushed back inside with everyone expecting someone to come in with me.

"Who was it", My mother asked innocently.

"Oh that. Just a lost passer-by. I showed him the way though. I'm sure he can figure the rest out now with a google map maybe", I smiled and took my seat. Just as I was about to take a bite in my sandwich, the doorbell rang again. This time, my mother got up to open.

"Mama, let me", I rushed up too but it was too late.

"No Naomi eat your breakfast, I will be right back", I started to panic. I needed to do something but nothing could come in mind. What was he going to say to my mom? Was it him? Did he leave or he just wanted to provoke me. Before I could answer myself, my mom walked in with a beautiful smile on her face followed by Devon. My face changed. My mood switched. My hand was tight and curled into a fist. I wanted to talk but the words were not forming properly.

"Have a seat right there", she added a seat for him between myself and Ana Maria. I was not even sure whether my mom knew he was the reason I was in the news or he charmed her to oblivion. Ana Maria started ti blush and even Sonia. I was pissed and you could see it from my eyebrows.

"Morning Everyone", they responded politely to him like they had seen an Angel. What was happening? Even Denzel was smiling. My father was confused but he was pleased for some reason.

"Everyone this is Devon, Naomi's "friend", my mother introduced beaming and using quotes for the friend she said. They all nodded in approval and smiled.

"You are really really breathtaking in person", Sonia blurted out and then went back to her food after Andrew glared at her. Devon wasn't nervous, he looked like he belonged. It was as if this sent the first time he had intruded uninvited.
