Naomi's POV
Oh.My.God. This can not be real. My brain is buzzing and I start to get a headache. I'm still stuck in place while James and JC laugh about something that happened before JC got here. Damien makes his way over to me and I just know my heart is going to burst out of my chest.
"Aye can y'all give me and Nomi some time to talk" he says grabbing my arm firmly.
He grabs it in such a way so that JC and James can't see.
"Yeah bro" James says as he walks upstairs .
JC gives me a wink as she follows James upstairs.
I start to protest to them leaving, but Damien grabs my arm tighter and I stop. He leans down and whispers in my ear. His breath sending chills down my spine.
"Don't make a scene baby" he says lowly.
"Awwww I want a boyfriend" I hear JC whine as she disappears upstairs behind James.
As soon as they disappear Damien lets me go.
"Why are you here!" I yell at Damien trying to swallow the lump in my throat.
"I came over to kick it with my bro, I didn't know my baby was gonna be here" he says trying to kiss me and I pull away from him.
"Why you insist on pulling away from me all the time Nomi? You know that pisses me off" he says staring at me.
Seeing his eyes turn dark I get scared and start to back up, tripping on my wet boots I fall onto the couch.
"Please go away" I say under my breath almost hissing.
Damien comes over and sits next to me on the couch. I try to get up but he grabs my arm and pulls me back down roughly onto the couch. I whimper and tears start to form in my eyes.
Damien grabs the back of my neck and pulls me toward him. He leans in and whispers in my ear. I smell the scent of black and milds on his breath and a shiver runs over me again.
"What did I tell you yesterday?" He says lowly.
I don't answer him and try to pull away. He tightens his grip on the back of my neck and it starts to hurt.
"Answer me!" He yells in my ear.
"Y-you told me that I'll never get rid of you" I say whispering.
"Good and what are you?" He says in an annoying tone.
"I-I'm yours" I say my voice breaking.
"Don't ever forget that, and you better not tell your little friend about any of this because if you do, I will expose you and my father to all of Chicago, wonder who would want to buy from him after?" He says mockingly. "A 44 year old man f*cking his sons 18year old girlfriend"
I swallow hard not wanting Damien to see me cry. He finally lets go of me and I just sit there on the couch my eyes tearing up.
"How'd you like my father's art?" He says with a little laugh.
I don't say anything, but just sit in silence staring at the TV.
"Oh yeah guess you didn't know why my mom almost left his ass when I was growing up" he says laughing again. He wraps his arms around my shoulder and pulls me in close and I stiffen.
"He wouldn't even let her leave the house, he followed her everywhere. He was so controlling and possessive always accusing her of cheating on him, he was borderline abusive." Damien says shaking his head now.
"You know my mom told me that she started falling for him when he did a painting of her. Soon he painted her over... and over again, she said the paintings were beautiful." He says thinking back on the memory.
"Crazy right?" He says smiling down at me.
"You know he wasn't all crazy, he did give me some good advice. He said once I find my woman never ever let her go" he says squeezing my shoulder.
"And I'm gonna do just that Nomi" he says now kissing my cheek.
A chill runs down my spine and I wipe my eyes. I hear someone walking down the stairs and I see JC come down.
"Hey love birds" she says giggling.
JC walks over and says "hey um you know Nomi came over to see me" she says pointing to her chest and laughing.
"You mind if I steal her from you?" She says jokingly.
Damien squeezes my arm tight and I know it's going to leave a bruise.
"I guessss you can steal her" he says with his million dollar smile. Lord why did I ever start talking to him I mentally hit myself.
Damien leans over and kisses my neck and whispers "remember what I said" quiet enough so that only I can hear.
"Aww y'all are so cute I can't" she says looking down at us with doe eyes.
Damien pulls away and says "she's all yours"
I stand up slowly still shaken up and follow behind JC as we make our way upstairs.
"I'm gonna miss you babygirl" I hear Damien say slyly as we walk up the stairs .
I start to feel a little better just being out of his grasp, but the nightmare still lingers fresh in my head.
"Awww he's so sweet you're so lucky Nomi" she says.
If only she knew the real him. I think to myself.
