THE CHURCH GIRL

CHAPTER 55

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

Last night was full bloom amazing. Dinner was perfect, the dance was perfect but the happy ending was too good. I stretched and smiled with my hands flying around in mid air and to my side of the bed but I just touched covers. I opened my eyes to be sure but he was gone. I was still sleepy but I got up and walked over to the bathroom to see a new toothbrush with my name written on a paper beside it. I flipped the paper open and it read, "hey love, had to rush out for a bit, don't miss me too much, love Dev". I smiled and rolled my eyes folding the paper and tucking it in the top pocket of the shirt I was wearing with uneven buttons. I brushed quickly and went back to the bed after I checked the time and it was still early. I frowned after I saw how early and cold it was without any cuddling. I fell asleep again in seconds back to dream world.

The smell of pancakes and bacon was second to wake me up when I felt soft hands rubbing my face and shifting some hair strands off my face. I opened my eyes slowly only to find Devon's face looking right at me with an inch apart distance. I smiled adjusting myself and pushing his head backwards away from mine. He had made breakfast and all my cravings were present. I bolted up so fast Devon was surprised I had an appetite when I just woke up.

"Well someone is hungry", he said knocking my hands off the plate, "See the bathroom, go in there and brush, stinky", I eyed him angrily and turned back to the yummy scrambled eggs displayed on the plate.

"Just so you know, I have brushed. When you left early in the morning to God knows where", he knew I was curious but he ignored my sarcasm.

"Fine, dig right in", I was already gone before the permission to dig in. Half way in i gulped down some water and looked up at him.

"So.......", I started waiting for an explanatory response about his whereabouts this morning but he still was acting confused.

"So.......what?", he asked with a confused look in his eyes.

"Seriously..... where were you this morning?", I waited for an answer but nothing came out of his mouth. I rolled my eyes, got off the bed, took the last bite of my apple and shoved my legs inside the flip flops beside the door. I noticed him get up to follow me from the corner of my lips but he wasn't quick enough. I almost banged the door when he grabbed it closing it gently behind him. I started packing my bag and he noticed I wasn't playing. He grabbed my waist from behind leaving his head on my back.

"Okay okay fine, I'm sorry. Just stop packing. You are one crazy woman you know that", I turned to him with folded arms on my chest still waiting for an explanation, "Can you atleast relax for a while, I want to take you somewhere later for dinner and I promise, I will tell you everything you want to know". I relaxed and dropped the bag. I heard my phone ring and he rushed for it like it was his. I wasn't fast enough. He looked at the name with a confused look and then turned the phone back to me, it was Chris. Oh shoot did I forget something with him.

"The phone isn't going to answer itself Devon, give it back", I stretched for it but he moved further away.

"Why is "what's his face" calling you?. I thought you were done with that", he sounded a bit pissed but kept it under control.

"Devon.....not now, It might just be about work or he is just checking up on me, give it back so I can answer it", I went forward to get it but he moved away again. I was starting to get frustrated.

"If you don't think is important then let it go to voicemail", why was he acting jealous and annoying all of a sudden, I'm not a child, I can talk to whoever I want to though his jealousy was a bit satisfying.

"Devon....come on, you are being very childish right now. Just let me answer it", the call ended and I could see a little satisfying smile creep out his face, then it started to ring again and the smile varnished.
