°•°Freddy's POV°•°

When my eyes fell on that woman, I was like....DAMN! She's beautiful.

"Naomi," I let the name roll out of my tongue. I smirked. "An interesting woman!"

I could remember when we first met in that wedding. She hadn't noticed me but I noticed her.

That day, I had walked into the church premise with a smug look. My friend was getting married.

"Our guy is going from a bachelor to a married man," I told my friend, Dennis and burst into laughter.

"His wife is beautiful," he replied. "But he will be stuck with one woman. He won't be allowed to change".

"A playboy like you can't get married. I find it hard to imagine you with one woman," I said and shook my head.

"I can imagine you with one woman. In fact, you can win an award for the best man who takes commitment seriously. You've dated Kate for two years. Aren't you tired? Your girlfriend has one attitude I don't like".

I shrugged and opened my mouth to say something. But, I paused. Not because I don't know what to say, but because a wonderful vanilla scent filled my nose. My eyes darted to the lady with that perfume. I could only see her back and she looked amazing in a yellow dress. My eyes popped out when it saw the curvy hip and round butt.

Slender but curvy! I think that's my new favorite.

"Dude, who are you staring at like that?" Dennis asked as he tried to trace who my eyes were on. "The girl on red?"

Red?

I rose a brow and located the girl on red. I scrunched my face. "No! Definitely not!" I snorted. The girl on red was not pretty in my own eyes.

"Then who?"

"Nobody! I was just thinking about something else"

He narrowed his eyes at me.

"I'm serious!"

"Okay!" he said and began to tell me about an incident in his life. I wasn't even listening. I was patiently waiting for the lady wearing yellow to turn so I can see her pretty face. Curiosity ate at me. I wanted to know if she had a beautiful face like her body which is gorgeous!

A young man walked up to her and they talked to each other. She let out a hearty laughter that rang in the air. She laughed so hard that she leaned her head on the chest of the guy. I clenched my fist.

Now, I feel the urge to join their conversation. Maybe when she laughs, she will also lean on me.

"Hey? Freddy? Hello! Are you even listening to me?" Dennis exclaimed.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong with you? Are you considering breaking your record of being a committed man? Is there a woman that caught your eyes?" he asked.

"No! I was just thinking about my...um...mother. I think I miss her"

"So you weren't listening to what I was saying?"

"No! I was listening!"

"Okay!" he folded his arms across his chest and glared at me. "What was I saying? What was I talking about?"

Easy! Obviously girls. That's all he talks about.

"Girls! A hot chick. That's what..."

He cut me short. "Wrong! I was talking about an expensive watch"

My brows knitted. "Really?"

"Yes! I stole my elder brother's expensive watch. When he found out, I lied that it was mine!" he fumed. "So you weren't listening"

"Oh!"

"But I'm sure my brother knows that it is his watch. He just pitied me and spared me," he said and chuckled.

"You're so naughty. Saying naughty is an understatement. Let me just say stubborn. I'm sure he wants to break your head!" I laughed. When Dennis began to talk, my attention went back to the lady. This time I could see her face. My jaw almost dropped. She was beautiful. Dark beauty! I took off my sunglass so I could see her clearly. The sun shone on her and her soft delicate brown skin sparkled.

"Let me guess! You aren't listening to me!" Dennis hissed.

"I am!"

"What was I talking about?"

"Um....watch...car..." I trailed off.

"I was talking about the girl that just past. She has pointed nose. I love girls with pointed nose. That's what I was talking about, fool. Let's go into the church the wedding is about to begin," he said and rolled his eyes.

"Wait!" I need to see more of this girl with a beautiful face, beautiful smile, heart-warming laughter and a beautiful body!

"Mtchew!" he hissed and shot daggers at me.

As soon as she walked into the church, I declared, "Let's go into the church. The wedding is about to begin". I marched forward, leaving Dennis behind.

My plan is to sit beside her and that's what I'll do.

Sadly, she wasn't ready to sit rather she was showing the guest where to sit. Her hand touched my arm as she showed Dennis and me where to sit.

The wedding began and I noticed she sat at a vacant chair at the front. I was at the back and couldn't stop myself from staring at her. I felt guilty because I was watching a girl instead of concentrating on my friend's wedding.

The lady blew my mind when she came out to sing. Her voice was divine and angel-like. It was beautiful. I'm a fan of music. I want to pursue my music career. I discovered that I'm a talented person in America. I worked on my voice and I learned how to play different instruments. I want to become a musician. I'll sing soft songs but I won't sing hip hop music. A guy like me that's blessed with the ability to sing a high note and a tenor voice that all female will love, I will sing soft, heart-warming songs.

I kept my eyes on the lady. When the woof-woof woman left the seat behind her. I subconsciously sneaked to the empty chair.

I called the woman woof-woof because her cough sounded like she was barking.

Dennis sent me a message the moment I got to the seat. I read it.

Dude, what's wrong with you? Is there a hot chick you are after?

I rolled my eyes and replied, No! I couldn't see the altar from the back. I can't miss my friend's wedding.

The space around the chair was so small that I couldn't stretch my legs. In fact, I couldn't sit properly. I felt squashed.

"Hey," my eyebrows shot up when she tilted her head to look at me. I was more surprised when my heart actually skipped a beat. When she kept staring, I cocked a brow. "Can you keep those long legs to yourself? You are making my yellow dress dirty".

Err....Wow! I never expected that.

I glanced at my legs and the small space between the chairs. "But this space is too small. I feel tight here!"

She nodded and said, "Please, manage!"

"I can't. My blood ain't flowing well. I need to stretch," I replied sincerely. Cos I really need to stretch.

"Please! You are stepping on my gown"

"Don't blame me for having long legs!" I shrugged.

She narrowed her eyes at me and turned her attention to the occasion. When the church wedding was over, she rose and pointed her finger at me.

"You have problem! After I beg you, you still did it," she yelled.

"Sorry!" I replied with wide eyes. This woman is filled with amazement.

"Sorry to yourself. I didn't talk before because I didn't want to cause a scene but now..."

I cut her short, "Your voice is nice!"

Really! Her voice stole my heart. For now, I know I love it and I wish to hear her sing again.

"Now...Huh....My voice?"

"Yes! You sang sweetly," I smiled. I'm still wearing my sunglass and I was wondering if I should take it off so she could see my handsome face.

She groaned, "But that's not what I'm talking about. My dress!"

"Sorry! That's all I can say. Don't expect much," I smirked. I wanted to get on her nerve. "Do you know who I am?"

"Who cares! I don't care. I don't even want to know your name. Just get lost. You are a waste of time! Thanks for spoiling my mood!"

I felt hurt that I spoilt her mood though but the urge to tease her and see her feisty behavior made me bow and I said, "You're welcome!"

When she eyed me, she paused and was gazing at me. I glanced at what I was wearing.

What's making her look at me?

I was wearing a pink suit, white turtleneck long sleeve within and a white pair of jeans. I was looking great. Maybe that's why she is staring.

"It's not right to drool over a guy in public!" My lips curved upward as I said the words. "It's a weird thing to do".

"I'm not drooling!" She snapped.

"Are you sure?" I cocked a brow with an amused look on my face.

"I'm...." she touched her lips. "I'm sure!"

I chuckled and folded my arms. She rolled her eyes and moved past me. I gripped her arm and asked, "Are you heading to the reception?"

"Duh!!" She sneered. "Can you free my arm? I need to leave!"

"Alright, see you soon! By then, I would have thought of a good nickname for you," I chortled.

"That one concerns you!" She hissed.

At the reception, I saw her serving the food. She handled the guests well.

Was she a waitress? Did she ever do that job? She seems good at serving the dish.

Soon, she arrived at my table.

"Dude, I told the lady that you will eat rice. I hope that's okay?" Dennis asked with a low voice.

"She was here?"

"You went to dance with the groom. Yes! She was"

"Oh!"

She came and placed my jollof rice on the table. I intentionally narrowed my eyes at her as she dropped the plate at my front.

"What?" She mumbled.

"We meet again!" I chuckled. "I didn't expect you to be a waitress!"

She rolled her eyes and retorted, "I volunteered to help, idiot!"

My heart is bleeding. What have I ever done to this woman to get such a reply?

"Hmm...Sorry! Didn't mean to be rude!" She voiced.

I will just pretend it never happened.

"How's your yellow dress? Don't you think your job as a waitress will leave a stain?" I tilted my head as I regarded her.

"I'm being careful!"

"Not really!" I pointed at a red splotch on her yellow dress.

She gasped and glared at me. "This is all your fault!"

"H...How?" I rose a brow. How is it my fault?

"I did this waitress stuff to find you!"

"Why?"

She made effort to find me? That means I caught her attention. She needs to know that she has also caught mine. From 100% to 200%

"Don't you remember..." She yelled but was interrupted when another woman gripped her arm and pulled her away.

I rose up to go after them but my phone rang. The word Cupcake appeared on my screen. Kate had saved her name that way. I don't know why but I know she is perfectly aware that I love cake and most especially cupcakes.

"Hello," I said dryily and sat down.

"Honey, how are you? How's the wedding?"

"Going well!"

"Have you seen any beautiful woman?"

I rolled my eyes. She has started again. If I say yes, she will get jealous and cry to my mother as if I'm destroying her heart.

"No! You are the only beautiful woman in my eyes, Kate!"

She chuckled. "I bought tickets for you. You have to get to the airport soon so you won't miss your flight!"

"What? Why? What do you mean?"

"Your mom misses you. I also miss you. You need to come back to America. Your flight is an hour from now. Go pack your luggage and head to the airport. Bye, Freddy. Love you," she said and giggled.

I rolled my eyes. "Love you too!" I forced out.

"Good! Bye!" she said and terminated the call.

"Your girlfriend, right?" Dennis asked.

"Yes!"

"Like I said. She has an attitude that I don't like"

I nodded. "I agree. She's a good person but she has an attitude that I don't like. I hate the fact that she controls my life"

He sighed. "So you are leaving?"

"Yes!" I sprung to my feet. "I need to go. Bye!"

I left the hall and headed to my car. As I drove out of the parking lot, I saw the beautiful lady running after my car.

Did I forget something?

I pressed the brake pedal, lowered the glass at my door and asked, "Did I forget something?"

She froze and looked into my eyes. Her brows drew together and she replied, "Yes! You forgot something!"

"What?"

"Me!"

I cocked a brow and our eyes met in an intense gaze. Okay! I'm confused.

I stopped the car and got down. "What do you mean?"

"Don't you remember me? We went to the same highschool!"

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

"So you were in America?"

"Huh...What?"

My phone rang. I glanced at the caller ID Mom and sent an apologetic look at her. "Sorry! I need to leave now or else I'll miss my flight".

"Flight?"

"To America!"

"Will you be back?"

I shrugged. Not sure! My mom is determined to keep me in America.

"Are we going to meet again?"

My phone rang again. This time it was Kate. My blood boiled and I replied, "Missy, I don't know but bye! See you later!"

She froze but I flashed my best smile and hopped into my car.

It was when I got into the airplane that's when I realized how foolish I was. I should have collected her phone number.

So when I saw Naomi in the hotel and among the cast. I will have to admit.

It's fucking good.

When Kate said I should stay away from her. I gave her a befitting answer.

No!!!
