THE CHURCH GIRL

Chapter 53

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

The car ride was intensely quiet. I sucked in a sharp breath avoiding any eye contact. Thoughts of questions and confusion roamed in my head as I drove Devon back to his hotel in silence. His attention was drawn to the window with eyes deeply closed breathing in the fresh air that was blowing calmly on his face. I turned a little far off from the hotel downtown to a grocery store and parked right informer of it. His eyes were still closed and I could hear him humming silently to himself. I made my way past the door and inside the store. I noticed the freezer at the far end of the veggies and I made my way towards it. The store wasn't exactly empty. There was a mother with her two kids, an old looking fugly man counting some quarters beside the snack bar, two guys that looked like they were in their twenties going through the alcohol stands and the cashier who looked to be very young and likely a teenager too. The cashier who was a guy smiled at me when I came inside and I smiled back sweetly heading straight for the freezer. I grabbed two bottles of water, some protein bars and some apples. I had no idea why I picked those bars but they just looked so tempting. I waited in line behind the mother and her two kids while the two men waited behind me making funny compliments about my scrubs which I gladly ignored. I dropped the things I picked in front of the cashier who immediately checked them in with a big smile. He stared at me for a few seconds then smiled again.

"Is you", he exclaimed like I was supposed to understand what he just said.

"Me what?", I asked with a confused smile.

"I have seen your pictures online before....wait hold on..... you are Diggy's girlfriend, that rich artist Forbes named young billionaire.....oh my God you are so beautiful in person", I blushed a bit uncomfortably and then smiled with a thank you, "Can I take a picture with you?". I smiled and whispered sure and took the picture only to get sleek remarks from the two guys behind me.

"What about us?. Or we aren't rich enough to tap that ass!!", I ignored them as they high fived each other like they worn Super Bowl tickets.

As I reached the door to leave one of them made a very disgusting comment which made me turn back to them with blazing eyes.

"What did you just say?", I asked walking back up to them when the cashier raised up his phone to record.  I didn't even care but the look I gave him made him drop it faster than a running hyena.

"You heard me little girl", he replied with a smirk walking up to me.

"If your balls are as big as your mouth, repeat what you just said and I might consider helping your pathetic feelings that just need a medical attention", oh that got him mad, so mad he made a move to put his hands on me when out of nowhere I hear a loud thud on the ground with Devon rubbing his hand in pain. He had punched the guy and he fell on the ground. I don't know how or when he came in that fast but that punch was well deserved. The guy's friend backed away from Devon considering his friend literally just hit the ground with just a punch. The cashier swore under his breath when he didn't get it on camera but I had a feeling the security cameras will do him good.

I grabbed the Devon's hand and ushered to the door but the slick remarks coming from the guy on the ground was just not helping the situation.

"I'm going to sue your ass you asshole. How dare you out your dead hands on me. Your girl with you for the damn money........ she ain't fooling nobody", Devon pounced on him again but this time IA was able to hold him back while the other guy held his friend back after helping him get back on his feet. I was facing the Devon who wouldn't just let it go and walk away.

"Devon, is fine let's just go. You don't have to hit a loser to show them how unworthy their words are because ignorant people say ignorant words.....let it go and let's just get back to the car", I tried to jolt down his boiling temper because with that anger still left in him, he can punch that guy to his death if I let him.
