       ~~•Naomi's POV•~~

"Naomi, please wake up! I'm right beside you. I'm not going anywhere," a disembodied voice said to me.

I felt myself being pulled from my nightmare into the real world. My eyes were heavy as I slowly opened them. The face that greeted me both took my breathe away and scared the life out of me.

Freddy's face was inches away from mine as he stared with a frightened look. He pulled me into a tight embrace when I had opened my eyes completely.

"I'm so glad you are okay," he exclaimed and he caressed my cheek with his fingers. "Are you hungry? Thirsty or....ummm! I'm sure you are hungry. Let me call room service". He rose and dashed to the telephone on the center table.

"Wait!" I voiced weakly. The dream I just had had sucked all my energy.

Kate was with a dagger ready to stab Freddy. I'm scared because I know the crazy woman, Kate, can actually do that.

"What happened to me?" I asked.

He spun around at once. "Please don't tell me you've lost your memory?"

I paused and flashes of kate pushing me into the pool appeared. "I haven't!"

He let out a sigh of relief and he began his phone call. After making order for hot pepper soup and white rice, he said to me "You fell into the pool and it's all my fault".

My brows rose as if to touch my hairline. "Your fault?"

"Yes! I forced you to go with me and that's why you forgot your bag. You went to get it and slipped into the pool accidentally. The security man told me. Naomi, I'm so glad you are awake," he rushed to my side and hugged me.

This feels good. See eh! Anywhere you see a girl called Naomi, hug her. You can never know what evil girl might be disturbing her life.

My eyes darted up and then, I took some minutes to study my environment. "Umm...Where am I?"

"My room!" he beamed. "I insisted that I take care of you. I have nurses at my beck and call".

"Oh!"

"Yeah! You'll be okay. But what do you want to eat now?"

"You are asking me after you have made order?" I cocked a brow.

He rubbed his neck with a cute smile. "Just answer jor! I can change the order if you want".

"I am not hungry!"

"You have to be hungry!" he narrowed his eyes at me. "What will you eat? Yam pepper soup? Chicken pepper soup? Plantain porridge or...ummm....This is all I can remember Jenna telling me".

"Jenna?"

"Yes! Your nice roommate. That one that's your friend"

"I know," I replied. My throat suddenly felt itchy. I tried to clear it but then, a loud cough erupted from me. It didn't stop there. I kept coughing and Freddy had to rub my back.

"The cold hasn't left you body yet! I'm sure the pepper soup will be the best meal for you," he said with a worried look on his face.

"Okay!" I nodded babyishly. He was sitting beside me on the bed. So I comfortably rested my head on his chest. I was surprised when he didn't react but rather pulled me closer to him. "Where is Jenna?"

"She went for rehearsal!"

"What about you?"

"I said I won't leave here till you wake up. No rehearsal for me till you get better. So...your wish is my command, mi lady"

"Thanks!" I rose my hand to wipe my eyes but then I couldn't see my fingers. They were all hidden by the long sleeve of the grey hoodie I was wearing. "This isn't my hoodie!"

"It's mine! Jenna said it will be more comfortable for you. Yours is too small and light to protect you from cold"

I smirked and rekaxed more into hus chest. The heat from his body kept me warm. When I saw his eyes were at another direction, I sniffed the hoodie and let out a satisfied sigh.

"I know I smell good!" he said suddenly which made me yelp.

"No oo! I was sniffing to make sure it wasn't dirty"

"Ah! What are you trying to say? That I am dirty?"

"Your words not mine, darling"

He burst into a fit of laughter. "I really missed you".

"I didn't go anywhere na"

"You've been unconscious for two days"

"Oh...Wow! For real?"

"Yeah! Where you dreaming about me?"

"Ode! Abeg shift! No dey whine yourself like that"

He pouted and whimpered, "Why are you always treating me like this? Other girls fear me for my good looks. You will be calling me ode!"

I know, right? Freddy just brings out the savage part of me. It has always been like this since highschool. But Will you blame me? He is cocky na! I have to be the one to burst his bubble.

"Sorry! Life has never been balanced. Accept your....," another cough came, interrupting my presidential speech.

Who is that person hissing? Abeg oo! It's my presidential speech. If it is paining you, go and hug....Lemme not talk.

Freddy rubbed my back again.

"You need to relax. You can talk later," he said and helped tucked my braids that had fallen from my hair bonnet.

"Can I hug you? I feel cold," I batted my lashes and stared at him.

Just an excuse to be hugged! Sha...I do feel cold tho.

He wrapped me in his arms and I didn't even know when I drifted into sleep. It was when the scent of pepper soup hit my nose that I was pulled out of my sleep. I was salivating as Freddy brought the food to the bed. He sat down beside me and placed the tray of food on his thigh.

"I'll feed you!" he said with an authoritative voice. I dare not disagree.

OMO! Freddy is strangely caring and quiet today. I hope all is well.

He mixed some pepper soup with rice and scooped a spoonful for me. The spoon was small in size so I could eat the rice whole from it. He wiped any soup stain on my lips with a napkin and served me water when I was coughing. It was strange the way he was just so caring.

When I was done eating, he placed my pillow properly and told me to lie down for a while. I shook my head defiantly and hopped out of the bed.

"Hey, go back to bed," he chuckled.

"I've been sleeping for two days. I need to move my body or I might just forget how to walk," I laughed and walked to the wall-to-ceiling mirror beside his wardrobe.

I was looking so cute in his over-sized hoodie and a pair of black sweatpant. The sweatpant is mine. I'm sure Jenna wore it on me.

"Can we go for a walk?"

"Sure! If you want. Just know that the sun is burning hot"

"That's good news. It will chase away any cold in me"

"True!"

"Let's go!"

"Dressed like that?"

"Yeah! What happened?"

"Hmm...You look a mess tho! You haven't had your showers in days"

"Lemme jor! Anyone that wants to look, should look. E no concern me. Is it their body?"

He chuckled and then, walked up to me. He took my hand and pulled me into another hug.

Abeg oo! Is Freddy alright? I don't understand again.

"Let's go!" he said and leaned away. He picked his phone and car key and then, together we walked out of the room.

"Freddy," I voiced as we descended the stairs. "Are you okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"You are acting different!"

"How?"

"I don't know how to put it in words but you are acting strange"

"You mean the way I'm caring for you?"

"Yeah! Yeah! You got it. Exactly. Why are you doing it?"

"Don't stress your mind. It's no biggie"

"I just want to know! Why?"

"It's nothing serious na"

"Why na? Just tell me"

"Stop stressing yourself over nothing"

"Why? You are acting too strange. Explain yourself"

"You worry too much!"

"Can you just answer my question!"

"No, cupcake! Leave it as that. Let's go for a walk"

"Cuppp...what?" I gasped and missed a step. I was already about to fall down the stairs when Freddy gripped my waist placing me back on my feet.

"You okay, cupcake?"

Did Freddy just call me cupcake two times? Abeg ooooooooo! What is happening? I no get. Pesin should come explain for me. My life no balance like this.
