THE CHURCH GIRL

CHAPTER 48

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

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

We woke up the next morning cuddling with Devon spooning me tightly from behind. I wanted to get up, freshen up and leave him here but I felt it will be too petty as if I was retaliating. I loved his arm and leg slowly and tried to get off but I heard a soft whisper from behind me holding on to my shirt.

"Don't leave", he whispered with his eyes still closed. He wanted to sleep in. I had nothing to do for a week anyway so I had no excuse to leave. I didn't urgently need to use the bathroom so I climbed back in bed and let him spoon me again back to sleep.

I wasn't sure how long we slept in for but it was almost lunchtime when I woke up. I could smell food and my nose was just all up in the air. Devin was not on the bed anymore. I rushed off to the bathroom to freshen up and came back inside after some time. I walked straight to the kitchen and Devon was in there tossing and plating what he called Dev's special brunch. He looked more better than last night. He had on a boho shirt and joggers with an apron tied on top of it. He smiled when he saw me and gestured for me to take a seat.

I didn't know he could cook. The whole time we were in the loft it was either we got takeout from Bulldog or I cooked something simple or even eat out. I was impressed. I smiled and just watched him. He cleaned the dishes and everything he used while cooking at the same time. That was impressive.

He was finished in a few minutes and set it all infront of me. There were cupcakes, cinnamon rolls, coffee, pancakes, stir friend veggies, beef sauce.... I just had a feeling he couldn't have made all these in that short period of time. I looked at him and turned my head side ways looking for packs.

"Okay Naomi fine you caught me. I didn't make everything, Bulldog dropped a couple off. I wanted to impress you so I... well I did make the pancakes.... And the veggies....okay stop looking at me like that", I laughed and popped a green grape in my mouth.

"Well you did try. Your best work so far. A seven for effort I might add", I giggled and took a bite out of the pancake. It was fluffy and sweet. I nodded and gave him a thumbs up. He joined in and we ate mid silence ad conversations. He wanted to work on something on his computer and asked if I wanted to see but I wasn't interested. I told him I needed to make a few calls and watch my favourite show so he stopped his work and joined me instead. He insisted so I let him.

"Would you like to go to the cinema and a park dinner later..... in the open?", he asked out of nowhere and I froze for a bit, "You don't have to if you aren't ready. I just thought because your face was out there it will be fine to finally be in the open and not give a crap about anyone", he added immediately in case I turned it down.

I was hesitant for a hot minute and just nodded. It seemed that wasn't clear enough so he paused the show and gave me his full attention, "I.... don't mind. I mean...... is true my face is already out there but I still don't want to be in the spotlight and I knew if we continued I would have to face that sooner or later so why not now anyway", I said grabbing the remote and resuming my show. I saw him sneak in a smile and continued watching the show. It was done in an hour and he had dozed off in between but I was grateful for the company interest.

I flipped off a hair strand from his face and stared at him sound asleep like nothing was happening around him. He looked relaxed and peaceful. My fingers trailed off from the side of his face to his lips and he woke up staring back at me with my fingers still on his lips and my eyes wide open in shock. I was not expecting him to wake up yet. He held my gaze and grabbed my hands gently and kissed it. I couldn't move my body or my eyes. I just watched on like a robot. My brain was shouting you weakling and my body was screaming get closer you slow dunce. Lots of opinions were going on in my head.

In a hot second and stretched up and grabbed his face in my palms and just kissed him. It felt like the first time I kissed him when I tested out my theory. I moved after a second and stared.

"You did the testing again huh", he smiled looking at me.

"Sorry I forgot the permission part", I smiled back and relaxed.

"Well I'm not sorry for this then", he leaned in quicker than I could say no and kissed me. He didn't stop, I kissed back and our breath just met in a hot chase as if we were saying goodbye to each other. I moved closer and he did same. His fingers trailed off around my neck and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He grabbed me off the couch and got up leading right to the bed and I just got lost in whatever wild thoughts I was having. He laid me over on my back and he bent over and we just continued kissing. My hands run down to his shirt and just unbuttoned them in a second then something just clicked, a reality check. We stopped kissing for a minute and then just looked at each other.

"Not this way", we said in unison and just sat back up straight on the bed fixing up his shirt and mine.

"I'm gonna get ready for dinner", I said rushing away.

"Yeah me too", and he rushed off as well to the second closet.

I couldn't stop grinning. I almost laid it bear for harvesting. I was ready to risk it all. Wow. That was some don't leave me again kiss because where did that passion come from. I quickly put on some cargo pants and a fluffy large top and grabbed a long coat jacket and some teddy boots. I was going for comfort, and that worked fine.

Devon had on a different joggers with lots of pockets and a large thick hoodie with his long coat jacket in hand as well. We stared at each other and burst into laughter.

"What is wrong with you?", I asked still laughing.

"Me, what is wrong with you?, where did that boot come from?", he chickweed hard pointing at my teddy boots.

"I was going for comfort, you were going for vigilante", we made fun of eachother and laughed it off. We were comfortable anyway and neither of us was willing to change.
