A Forbidden Love (Book 1)

See you soon.

Naomi's POV

           Andreas is the first to get up. He cleans himself and me up and I still feel like the room is spinning. I groan and roll onto my back. My body aches but it felt so amazing. I can't help but to smile to myself. Andreas goes into the bathroom and I crawl myself to the head of the bed and get underneath the covers. I reach over and get my phone off the nightstand and I see that I have so many text messages.

Wth. I think to myself.

I unlock my phone and I see that they're all from Damien. My heart sinks and I open up his messages.

I see the words 'I know you're f*cking my dad'. and my breathing stops.

Damien has sent me paragraphs and it's just full of insults and threats, my eyes start to water. I deserve this I think to myself. I try not to cry as I scroll down the many texts he's sent to my phone and at the end he's sent multiple pictures. Sitting up on my bed now I open up one and look closely.

"What the f*ck." I whisper.  I zoom in and I see a handful of paintings.

...and they're all of me.

A chill runs down my spine and I continue to go through all the photos. It looks like Damien has taken pictures in Andreas' office in the back room where he had some paintings.

My heart starts to race there's several different huge paintings of my face. They look like Andreas' work. That is so creepy, it actually starts to scare me. My heart starts to race and all I can think is I need to leave.

This so weird. That he'd paint several paintings of me... it seemed obsessive...

I needed to get out of here.

My heart racing I get out of the bed and I run to the closet. I find my clothes in a drawer and I shakily put them on. I grab my coat and my boots and I walk quickly out of the master bedroom.

What have I gotten myself into... as I speed walk down the long hallway I keep hearing Dana's voice replay over and over in my head.

'Be careful with him'.

Now I feel like I know why she said that to me. I even start to remember all the things he said to me about how he was in his past. I start to think that maybe I have reignited something in him, but that's just too much too quick.

My eyes start to water because I start to panic and become frightened. I finally make it to the living room area and I see shattered glass all over the floor. I make sure not to step on any.

All of a sudden I hear my name being called from the master bedroom and I walk/run to the elevator.

I push the button fast and I see the numbers go up as it slowly makes its way to the top floor.

"Schätzchen where are you??" I hear Andreas call out from the master bedroom.

The elevator finally arrives and the doors open.

I take one last look down the hallway and I see Andreas peak out of the bedroom. His eyes widen as he sees me entering the elevator. I run inside of the elevator and press the lobby floor quick and the shut door button.

Come on. Come on. Come on. My heart racing. The elevator doors start to close.

I hear Andreas' footsteps walk fast down the hall.

"Schätzchen! Where are you going!?" I hear him yell.

The elevator door closes and by the grace of God it starts to make its way down. My heart still racing I fall against the back wall. I take the opportunity to put my shoes and coat on.

I check my wallet and make sure I have my card so I can hurry and get a taxi so I can get out of here. The elevator door finally gets to the bottom floor and I hurry and walk out. I know Andreas will try and follow me down, so I speed walk through the lobby, who knows when he's going to show up.

I hurry and make my way through the lobby. There are people everywhere and they all look so important and business like. I make my way past the front desk and out the huge revolving doors.

I swear I hear my name being yelled, but I can't turn back or he'll get me. I run outside of the huge building and it's snowing. I start to jog down a block and turn on another block. Just to make sure he won't be able to find me quick. The city is alive and there are lots of people on the sidewalk so I know I will be hard to find.

I flag down a taxi and thankfully he pulls over. I get in and close the door hard.

"Where to?" The man asks.

I pause for a second because I didn't think that far ahead. I can't go home because I told my parents I wasn't coming home for a while. I can't go to Damien's because we aren't together anymore...

I'll go to JC's! I hurry and tell the taxi driver the address and we're off.

JC lives downtown so the fair shouldn't be too high. I sit back and finally am able to relax a little. The longer I'm in the taxi the more my heart starts to calm.

I suddenly get another text and it's from Damien. My cheeks get hot as I read the text he sent.

'Guess my dad is as crazy as I am. We'll see who gets you at the end of the day. See you soon Nomi 😉'
