"As long as you are good to me, I will like you"
"Naomi, I think you should stop worrying, Eric is a grown up. He will be home soon. Maybe he is tied up with something at work. You know he is the head surgeon at the capital hospital." Jane said trying to convince Naomi and stop her from pacing up and down. Jane was glad that Eric's love for this girl wasn't totally one-sided. Seeing her worry about him is a hint that she also care about him."I know Jane, but I want to see him before I go to bed. At least, to be sure he is okay. " Naomi insisted with a hand under her baby bump. She looked like a pregnant wife waiting for her husband to come home. Jane smiled looking her sincere worried expression. She was happy, Eric got another person to worry about him. And a beautiful woman at that. Jane giggled." What's making you laugh Jane? " Naomi asked" Nothing" Jane smiled " I will get you a glass of juice and some cookies do you can munch away time. " " Okay, thank you" Naomi said sitting down. It's kind of funny how the environment already look like home despite the fact that she just got here today. It's is true that people makes a home and not the other way round." Baby we are finally in a place we can call home" Naomi said smiling sweetly. She was cut off from her thoughts when she heard the hooting of a car. She stood up immediately and runs to the door. She was surprised to see Eric being led by a stranger. He was drunk.
"Wait, I thought he went to work" Naomi muttered to herself while going to help him.
"I told I could walk by myself. Get your hands off me bro!" Eric said drunk
"Thank you sir, for bringing him home. "Naomi said supporting Eric on her shoulders.
"Sure ma'am, it's my duty to ensure he gets home." the guy said before driving off. Naomi didn't take to heart what the man said. She struggled to help the staggering Eric into the house. Despite him being drunk, he seems to understand that he couldn't lean all his strength on the woman helping him inside. If not, how would Naomi help a man who is 1.9 meters tall, with a body like an athlete, inside?
"Naomi baby, I didn't drink too much okay. i still have you in mind. I have to take care of you and our baby." Eric said
"Stop sprouting nonsense, how can you end up drunk? Aren't you a doctor? You should know better." Naomi said with an angry expression.Eric made a face like he was going to cry because she was scolding him. Naomi couldn't help but laugh. Eric was so cute when he was pouting.
"Naomi, I am sorry." Eric said hugging her waist and placing his head on her baby bump. "Don't be angry at me, it will hurt me." Eric said looking into her eyes lazily. Naomi was trying to understand what was going on with this guy. He couldn't possibly like her?
"Oh come on Naomi, don't be ridiculous. He is drunk and he doesn't know what he is saying." Naomi face slapped herself.She rubs his cute afro cut. "
Don't worry baby Eric, I am not mad at you okay." Naomi said earning a chuckle from him. Eric tighten his grip on her waist. Resting more on her.
"I just couldn't help it Naomi, it was too much. I didn't chose this life. I just wanted to be happy with the people I love." Eric said sobbing which took Naomi by surprise.
"What's wrong with this guy?" Naomi wondered "Don't worry, you will be fine, okay. I am here for you" Naomi consoled. Eric suddenly looked at her as if trying to know if she was sincere or not.
" Promise me you will always be with me, no matter what." Eric said
" Huh" Naomi asked puzzled. That was a big promise to make. Eric was good to her but she can assure that she will always be by his side.
" Promise me Naomi" Eric said in a pleasing voice." Now, who can resist such a cute face?" Naomi said pinching his chin.
" I promise to always be by your side" Naomi said.
" Oh my God, Eric!" Jane exclaimed. She was obviously waking up from sleep." How did you endup like this again? Now I know you never went to work. The nerve of lying to me, huh?" Jabe said pissed.
Eric has fortunately dozed off.Although Jane was angry, she was also concerned on what transpired between Eric and his father. Eric is a good kid and only his father and Frank can put him in such a state. She hopes he can be happy now with Naomi by his side. she clearly heard their conversation just now. Her baby Eric was in love at last. She just hopes Naomi will love him too.
They both took the big baby upstairs which left both of them breathing heavily.
"This is what we call, impromptu exercise." Jane said breathing heavily. Eric only allows Jane to sleepover at the mansion. The other workers retires to the workers quarters when it's dusk.
"Such a big baby" Naomi exclaimed while pulling his shoes and stockings. Looking at her, Jane suddenly had a good idea to help blossom their love.
"Oh my stomachs hurts!" Jane said faking an ache.
" Are you okay" Naomi asked with concern"
"I will have to bother you to take care of him for tonight." Jane said running off and intentionally locking the door from outside. After confirming that the two will be stock in a room. She left with a smile.
"Eric will have to thank me for this one tomorrow" she laughed.
Naomi was still oblivious of what happened. She looked at the big man on bed and sighed. She has never taken care of a drunk man. What's she even saying? She only had a kiss and body romance with Dave. They never had sex or seen each other naked. How was she going to wipe his body or change his clothes? Well, she will just wipe his upper body and forget about the rest.
After wiping his body and tucking him properly. She was about to leave when a big hand pulled her back. She landed on top of a strong body. It was then she heard a hoarse voice " Are you planning on leaving me on such a cold night?"
Oh no, she has been tricked!
She turned to retaliate but found the young man sleeping peacefully. She was wondering if she was beginning to hallucinate. But the hands on her waist did not let go and wasn't willingly to let go.
