Naomi's point of view
Our eyes maintained contact as he leaned in, dipping his head closer to mine. I sucked on my breath, involuntarily licking my bottom lip.
His lips looked enticing and I felt tempted to let him kiss me but the promise I made to myself kept ringing in my head
I can do this! I can do this! I can do this! I kept repeating those words to myself within me.
I took in another deep breath, slowly I pushed him from me. Steven looked at me with a confused expression on his face when he saw what I just did, so I used style to conceal my plans.
"What are you doing?" I asked chuckling lightly
Naomi's point of viewThe ride was longer than I expected and I felt suffocated sitting down just some inch away from Steven without saying anything.I wondered what went through his mind, I was uncomfortable. He didn't bother to turn his head to look at me and I didn't too."Sir, Madam, we've reached," The chauffeur said to us. "Thank you," I whispered to the chauffeur as he opened the door of the limousine for me.I adjusted my dress as soon as I came out from the limousine, paparazzi were everywhere with their cameras, flashing their camera lights whilst taking pictures and asking questions.I linked my arms with Steven as we made our way on the red carpet. "Excuse me, Mr Madagascar," The paparazzi called trying to get our attention but the bodyguards pushed them off, blocking them from coming closer to us.
Naomi's point of viewI stared at Angela with a scowl on my face, I wanted to hit her on her face. She nearly made me loose my balance and fall down either on my face or on my butt considering i was in heels and anything could go wrong or worse."What's with the ugly face? Someone beat you or as usual, karma biting you?" She spat out with scorn clearly trying to piss me off intentionally.I took in a deep breath, I exhaled before speaking out, "Get lost!" I spat out. I was shocked at myself for my confidence because I always cowered in fear anytime it involved Angela and her mother.I feared Angela's mother a lot, that woman beat the living shit out of me. Angela was just a
Steven's point of viewI paced around my room, my fist were clenched tightly. My head was banging hard and the knot in my stomach tightened.I was furious at her and myself. I almost went nuts when I didn't see her, I searched around, looking for her. I was worried, insulting myself while I looked for her only to finally come home to see her with another man.Not just any man, but her boyfriend. I was disappointed, I was shocked and mostly, I was hurt. I never thought she had a boyfriend. I never thought she could cheat and I was disappointed.I was furious, I was hurt and I knew I had no right to blame her considering I was never loyal to her. How could she have a boyfriend
Naomi's point of viewI stared at Steven in disbelief. He was spitting out rubbish and accusing me of things i should be accusing him of.How dare he call me a desperate woman?! He needed medical attention and in as much as I wanted to shout and yell at him with the same energy he was using, I was in short of words.How could he blame me? He called me a cheat when he was obviously the cheat, he called me a shameless woman when he was obviously the shameless one bringing his girlfriend around me.My heart ached and my head hurts. He was calling me names I wasn't and proudly too.How dare he call me a shameless woman, I have heard enough, so I flared up, "Shut up!" I cried out."You have no right to cal
Naomi's point of viewI slammed the door to my room hard. I was hurt and angry. The tears kept rolling down my cheek profusely.I removed the blanket over me, flinging it across the room. His words kept repeating in my head and I couldn't hear anything other than that.He called me a desperate woman! I felt ashamed I let him touch me easily after the promise I made to myself. I felt ashamed because I didn't think that it could be a plan, I felt ashamed because I proved him right. I felt ashamed because I enjoyed his kisses and mostly I felt ashamed because i was ready to give him all of me.I wasn't desperate of any man's touch, although I loved when he touched me but desperate? I wasn't.He was the one who left me for his girlfriend, he abandoned me and didn't for once consider me. I felt stupid wondering how all this situa
Steven's point of ViewMy eyes followed Naomi whilst she walked into the room, taking her sit. My conscience has been pricking me since I saw those tears in her eyes on Saturday night.I regretted saying those words to her and I regretted doing what I did. I felt stupid and immature for going through extreme means to prove my point.The look she gave me and the words she said to me burn through deep into my heart like a blazing fire.I couldn't think of any other things than looking for means to get her forgiveness. I was confused and disappointed at my behavior and how rash i was handling the matters.It was unusual of me to lash out so quick and say bitter words to people although I do that but to people I know, it was rare.I regretted my statement and I was hurt too. My heart ached and I knew it was because of her.
Steven's point of viewI loved the feeling I felt when I saw the way he looked at me. What a piece of scumbag!I clenched my fist, thinking of the right words to say to him. Didn't he call me a cheat? What was he doing now if not cheating?I felt a stung in my heart, Naomi didn't deserve all this. I was never a good man for her and the man she got as a boyfriend wasn't good for her too."You?" He called out in shock, his eyes widened.I smirked, "Yes, it's is I," I replied.I clapped my hands together. "Surprised to see me?" I asked.
Naomi's point of viewI was supposed to hate Steven like I said but my heart was doing otherwise.I sat down at the living room watching the television but my mind obviously wasn't paying attention to any of the things said by the characters.Why was I expecting him home? Maybe he was with Marenda? But I felt something bad could have happened to him.I was hating this part of me for caring. I didn't want to see his face yesterday but today my mood swinged.I was hurt by what he did on Saturday, he broke me and brought back memories of my mother. I felt the need to speak to someone, someone who would help me f
Steven's point of viewHer words came to me as shock at first but I got over it. I knew I have to assure her and let her know she is the only one i want and no one else."It's a really long story Treasure, but I will tell you for sure," i said to her.I started narrating from the night I made her cry and how I left the house. I explained to how we figured out who Marenda was and what a conniving bitch she was.I told her how Marenda has been an illegal resident in America and how she was caught and taken back to Scotland to face the law of her country."Wow!" She muttered."A lot
Steven's point of viewThe joy of knowing you would be a father was something I never expected to be exciting before. I mean I knew it was great but that feeling was way beyond what I thought.I rushed back to meet the doctor, "Thank you so much!" I thanked the doctor."Hope she's fine?" I asked him."Yes, she is and I mean, you can see her now," he said to me and walked away. Just as he walked away, Naomi's father came rushing into the hospital with Angela.Third person's point of viewLife for Raymond has been hard ever since Angela was diagnosed with an
Steven's point of view.Mr Langford arrived in New York last night. He was the man who Marenda stole from and ran away.After contacting him and telling him of the girl who stole from him location, he said he was coming to New York.Daniel called to tell me of his arrival yesterday and we planned on meeting him today. I looked at myself on the mirror with sympathy while I wore my shirt.I looked rough and unkept, my beards were not shaved and my hair was messy. I haven't been able to eat for the past days since Naomi left.I remembered her father's threat and I got private investigator looking for her. There have gotten no idea where she w
Steven's point of viewBefore I would reach Daniels house, he was already waiting for me at his door with a triumphant smirk on his face."We were the biggest fools in the world, hope you know that?" Daniel said to me. I was confused as to why he said such."And your reason being?" I sighed weakly. I was tired, Naomi disappearance was having a huge toil on me and I was mentally drained.Any other news apart from where Naomi was mattered not to me. I wanted her, I needed her like I needed oxygen and it hurts because we were fine just last night.Where did I go wrong? I saw her this morning, I saw her and I held her then she asked for space,
Third person's point of viewAngela watched her father, she waited for his reply but he said nothing."Why aren't you saying anything father?" She cried out, her voice was shaky."Answer me father! Why are you quiet?" Angela cried out loud, holding unto his suit jacket."I'm..I'm.." Raymond croaked, he didn't know how he'd explain and tell her anything without breaking her heart."Father, father!" She shouted."Angela, I'm really sorry, I'm really..." Before he could complete his statement, Angela brought out a knife."
Naomi's point of view.It was past four in the morning when I woke up. Once my eyes landed on the alarm clock, I tried sitting down on the bed. I was extremely tired from last night.I tried getting up from the bed but winced in pain. "Ouch!" I cried out. My core was hurt. I sat back down on the bed trying to calm my nerves as memories of last night resurfaced making me blush.I finally did the deed! My heart sank when I thought of my plans to leave him.He only treated me well because I was hurt, he doesn't like me. He was only sympathizing with me and trying to be the husband he should be. In as much as I felt pain, last night was one of the best one of my life.
Naomi's point of viewI woke up to the sound of noises downstairs. I wondered what was going on and why the many noises. My eyes were heavy due to the fact I slept with tears in my eyes.I struggled my way downstairs after pulling the duvet off me. I wore my slippers and walked downstairs.I saw Steven speaking to the house help about something I knew not about. When I got there, I saw Steven talking to the house helps. I cleared my throat to get their attention. "Good morning Treasure." Steven said softly with a smile on his face which made my heart flip.
Naomi's point of viewI watched Steven as he spoke, hearing nothing until he last statement, "There is nothing going on with the both of us, I promise you," that was where I had it all."Enough!" I shunned him. I swallowed the invincible lump in my throat, "You don't have to say all of this because you are only deceiving yourself. I know you care for her and you like her so stop with all of this because you are hurting me!" I spat out."Yes! You are hurting me. Stop acting liked you care for me and stop treating me nice because you are hurting more by doing that," by now my eyes was welled up with tear and I didn't mind."You don't know how its hurting me and I am trying to
Naomi's point of viewI didn't ask for the life I was given. No one would proudly ask for a sad and bad life. I had dreams too and like every other humans, I also wished I had a whole family, a family to care for me, a family to love me and a family I could count on.I wanted a life different from the one I was given, I wanted a life where my bed were full of roses. I wanted a life where I smiled more than cry.I lived with my single mother who struggled hard to provide the necessities for the both of us, I was contented with that life, I did not complain, in fact I'd choose that life over this one now.Then she died, breaking my heart into a million pieces, shattering all my hopes. My dreams came crashing in front of me, my mother was indispensable to me but God knew best.That wasn't all, then my father came into the picture, it would have been nice if it was just him al
