Naomi went home sad. It's been one week now and that stranger still doesn't want to give in to her. She didn't even know his name. It was so annoying. She thought stamping her feet on the floor like a baby unaware of her environment. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I know that face. Her cousin David teased. Please remind me of that face again? He asked looking back at the family. That's the face of the princess not getting what she wants. Max said as naomi rolled her eyes. She'll soon start to throw tantrums like a child that she is. David said as his older brother butt in. Let her be Dave. Don't tease her any longer. He said. Mum, what's this devil doing here? She asked sticking out a tongue at David . Childish. He muttered. Sam and Dave are leaving the family's business to start their own. So they came to seek the blessings of the elders. Her mother said. Is everything ok? Why are you leaving Sam? I can understand if David leaves . He doesn't even deserve a penny. She said looking at David who just smiled at her making her angry. I really don't know how you deal with him. Just get rid of him. She said angrily. That's the most heartfelt speech you've said to me in a very long time. He said smiling wholeheartedly. Naomi was looking like a ticking time bomb ready to explode. Samuel had to intervene or else they would have started their usual fights. We just wanted to do something by ourselves. After all every member of the family is working in the company. He said as naomi nodded. That's a good idea. But if you want anything please don't hesitate to ask. We'll surely help you. She said as Samuel nodded. I will personally come to you. David chimed in. Don't start. Naomi warned. And what would you do if I don't? He challenged. Let her be Dave. Mrs whitmoore said. Yes aunt. He said. Typical David. Emily said. Zip it. He replied going to sit down. So what got you so worked up dear? He uncle Gerald asked as her mum seamed to remember. Yes dear. Did anything happen? She asked as naomi's face turned gloomy. Mummy isn't it that stupid stranger. She cried. What stranger? Samuel asked as he raised his head from the documents he was going through. You mean the stranger who saved your life? Max said as naomi nodded her head. And what happened him? Emily asked filing her nails. I met with him. She said as her mother became happy. That's good news. Then invite him over. Her mother said. That's the problem. He doesn't want to come. She said. And why would he come? Gerald asked. That I don't know. She replied. That's not a problem. You're "The Naomi Whitmoore."… For a week. She cut Max. What! Max, Emily, Samuel, David were shocked. Infact everyone was. Who the heck is this guy? I would love to meet him. David said as Max nodded in agreement. Back off. Samuel scolded him as he rolled his eyes and sat down. Look sweetheart just forget about him. He isn't worth it. Samuel said as her mother turned to face her. That's right dear. If that guy has turned you for one week then he's not worth your attention. Your " the naomi whitmoore" and no one should be able to tell you no. Her mother said. I would. David said. I second that. Emily said. Don't listen to them. Her mum said. So don't sulk for a nobody. You can never settle for less. Now go in and shower. Her mother encouraged as she gave her mum a smile and went upstairs. She's not going to be happy about that. David said. Shut up. Max said hitting him at the back of his head. Ouch! That hurt dude. David exclaimed and that was the last she heard before she went through the hallway then inside her room.
*******************************†*******†***********†********************************†***************************************She just finished her nighly duties as she wore her pyjamas and laid on the bed. She picked up her phone but saw no missed calls or text message. She sighed and kept her phone. Her mind began to wander when she heard a text. She picked up her phone to check the text but it was from her group chat.
L: hey om! You ok
S: this party is a blast. You sure you're not coming?
Sam: (sends a sticker to show how bored she is)
K: Naomi love you're missing a lot
R: I don't know what's wrong with you but you're going to be ok. Just sleep over it
S: boring…
She read the messages and sighed throwing her phone on the other side of the beg letting it ring as she slept.
