( Naomi's point of view )
My stomach tightened as I forced a smile unto my face, keeping my lip in a straight line. My heart beat was beating faster than normal and I suddenly felt the urge to fall down.
"Marenda, meet Naomi," Steven introduced me to her. With a one million dollar smile, she stretched her hands forward for an handshake.
I just couldn't find the strength to stretch my hands forward, before I could even do that, She pulled me into a tight hug.
"It's nice meeting you," She said looking me in the eyes.
"Babe, you didn't tell me she was this pretty," Marenda said to Steven who shrugged. I wondered what he had to of her about me.
Marenda leaned into Steven as he held unto her waist, I stood there looking at the both of them with a broken heart, what went wrong and how did I start to fall for Steven? I couldn't help but wonder.

My heartbeat erratically, I knew this cologne and I knew who used it. I suddenly felt shivers down my spine enjoying the feeling of having Stevens arms around me.I pretended to sleep back wanting to enjoy the moment while it last."Are you awake?" My heart skipped upon hearing Steven's husky voice. I pretended to have just woken up but I wondered why he had to hold me the way he was holding me now.I looked at his arms around my waist, "Why...are you holding me this way?" I asked stuttering."Oh," he quickly removed his arms from around my waist, giving me space, I suddenly felt cold, missing the warmth of his arms around me."You were shaking a while ago, so I reduced the temperature of the air condition and turned on the heater but it seems you weren't comfortable still so you know what they say..." He trailed off."You know friction, two bodies together and..." He trailed of
Naomi's POVMy heart raced as I pushed Steven off me, clasping my bra back together. I picked my shirt from the floor then wore it hurridely.By the time the footstep got closer to us, we were fully dressed and looking good. My heart leaped when I looked at the guest in front of us, it was Marenda."Surprise!"She exclaimed with a big grin on her face which faded when she looked at both Steven and i.Steven raked his fingers through his hair, he stared at me and then at Marenda with a blank expression on his face. Marenda furrowed her brows before speaking up. "What's going on here?" She asked.Steven walked to her and pulled her in for a tight hug, I suddenly felt stupid watching the scene in front of me. After what just happened here, he hugged her in front of me.Wow!
( Naomi's point of view )Philip: I'm back, wanna hang out? A smile crept unto my face when I saw the message. Phillip was back! I squealed with joy within me.I quickly text back a reply. Me: sure, where?He sent the address immidately, I changed my flip flop into a white all star canvas, I grabbed my chain clutch and left the house.Thank God I had some cash with me, I didn't want to take the driver with me. I took a cab
Naomi's point of viewI wounded my arm around Phillip's arms as we walked around the streets on New York. I felt as ease having a friend by my side and not sucking around thinking of Steven who hurt me. In as much as I tried not to think of Steven, thoughts of situation where he and Marenda were obviously doing some stuff which I didn't want to imagine but whenever thoughts like that crossed my mind, my heart ached."Let's go get ice cream?" Phillip suggested getting me out of my thought."That's a nice idea," I smiled. Ice cream was a good idea considering I need something yummy to get rid of my sour mood.
Naomi's point of viewSteven clenched his fist tight with a scowl on his face but I wasn't fazed by that. It was none of his business after all."From the last time I checked, you are my every business because you are my wife and I am your husband!" He said through gritted teeth.I scoffed, "What?!" I laughed hysterically. "A wife by paper you might want to say and please i don't think where I go to should be your problem, right?" I asked. Steven opened his mouth to say something but closed them back not finding the right words to say, he opened his fist, shaking his head.&n
Naomi's point of view"Steven!" I called out in shock.He looked pathetic, both I and Felicia walked to him and instantly i inhale the alcohol smell on him."He reeks of alcohol!" Felicia complained. Steven looked pathetic, he looked thorn and looked tough, it was as if he got into a fight.I couldn't breath because of the way he smelled. "Where were you?" I asked Steven but he said nothing.He looked hurt and broken and seeing him this way made me hurt."Steven what happened to you?" Felicia asked with worry but Steven said nothing.I tried helping him but he pushed my hands off. Ouch! I ignored that and tried helping him but he pushed my hand again. Both Felicia and I exchanged looks because we were confused and didn't know what was with him.He walked away, making his way upstairs, I followed him in case he staggers and fall down but as soon as he got into his room, he slammed the door at my face.I was confused and concerned, what happened to him and where was he? I was inquisiti
Naomi's point of viewImmidately I said my last statement, Steven facial expression was replaced with a soft look. I swallowed the invincible lump in my throat, expecting him to say something but he said nothing. Instead he looked at me with a blank expression on his face."It's unfair you know?" I said to him. "You can't keep doing this, if you have your issues, keep it to yourself and don't make others around you suffer. So I'd advise you divorce me first before killing yourself," I said to him."Who told you I was going to kill myself?" Steven asked with a calm voice unlike the one he used earlier.I said nothing, he shook his head, took a deep breath before saying, "Your
Naomi's POVSteven joined me in the living watching Nickelodeon on the television. He held a mug on his hand sipping something I knew not of."What's supping fam?!" Felicia asked with an exciting voice, coming to sit in between Steven and I."I guess cousin is back to normal," She said staring at Steven. "So tell me what happened?" Felicia asked Steven."Can you please shut up for a while," Steven said in a pleasing voice."Hmm," Felicia contemplated for a minute before speaking up, "Only for one condition," She said."And tha
