Album One Shots

“Naomi! Wait! Come back!”

I could hear Michael calling after me as he burst through the doors and into the school yard but I ignored him. I carried on walking briskly toward the school playing fields, wiping any tears that managed to drip over my lashes as I went. I hoped he would just give up and go back to the library but seconds later, I heard his feet smacking against the tarmac as he ran to catch up and his hand caught my wrist. He pulled me back, turning me to face him.

“Please! Just talk to me!” He panted as I snatched my wrist from his hand as though it burned. I was so angry and humiliated, I couldn’t bear to have his skin against mine.

“Talk to you about what? What is there to say Michael?” I hissed, fresh tears stinging my eyes as they stared aimlessly at my feet. I refused to look at him, it hurt me too much. The things that his friends had been saying… and he had just sat there.

“Baby, please don’t cry, they were just chatting shit because that’s what guys do…” He said gently, tilting his head to the side and looking down at me intently. I felt the fury rising in me, as my head whipped up in anger.

“They aren’t the bloody problem! It’s you!” I snapped, throwing my hands up dramatically. His eyes widened at my tone and he looked confused.

“Me? I didn’t say anything Nay?” He said slowly, tapping his hand to his chest subconsciously as though he were questioning if I were sure that I was definitely talking about him.

“Yeah Mikey! That’s the problem! You never say anything!” I choked on my words as a new wave of tears spilled over my lashes and his face contorted with the hurt from my words, “You just sat there while Ewan told you that you could do better than me! What kind of boyfriend does that? If you actually believe that-” I was surprised when he cut me off.

“Of course I don’t believe that…” He mumbled, his blue eyes sparkling more as a tear rolled slowly down his cheek. He was looking at me in such pain that I just wanted to wrap my arms around him and tell him that everything would be alright… but I couldn’t… because I was hurting too. Instead I just stood silently staring, hoping that he would say something to make it all better.

And then he did.

He took a step closer and rested his hands gently on arms before taking a deep breath.

“I don’t say anything to them, because I don’t think the argument is worth it… They don’t see what I see when I look at you Nay. My world is brighter because you’re in it. Nothing has ever made me happy the way you do.” He slid his hands down my arms and took my hands in his, “You don’t even know how beautiful you are to me because I can’t even put it into words… do you remember the first time we met?”

I nodded as another tear rolled down my cheek at his words.

“You were giving out water at sports day in year eight, you gave me some and we got talking… why?” I replied quietly.

“I never told you that I wasn’t meant to be giving out water, Ewan and Seb were, but I watched you sitting with your friends and I couldn’t take my eyes off of you. I had to speak to you. I remember you flipped your hair over your shoulder and smiled at me when you said thanks and I thought I’d forgotten how to breathe… and that’s just going by looks. Once I got to know you, I knew I loved you before you were even mine.” He smiled, pushed a small strand of hair behind my ear and caressed my cheek gently, “Naomi Hughes, you are my everything and I don’t feel the need to explain that to anyone because they just wouldn’t understand.”

Without a second thought I reached around the back of his neck and pulled his lips to mine softly. My insecurities disappeared as his arms slid around my waist and for once in my life, I felt beautiful.
