Spring Fantasy Chapter 9-Tyson and Naomi Part B





"..." = talking '...' = thinking











[Back Alley]









Naomi snapped open her eyes as she grabbed the man's hand.

"You don't touch me." She said, as she kicked him in the stomach and gave his arm a twist.

The man groaned while holding onto his stomach, after a minute or so, he struggled to stand up. Then he picked up his half finished beer bottle. He gulped the remaining beer down and raised up the bottle.

He is clearly drunk, so he couldn't see anything clearly. He meant to aim for Naomi, but instead he went towards Tyson.





Tyson looked at the man coming towards him, but it was too late. He wasn't paying attention to the guy because of Naomi's sentence. Next thing you know, Naomi is in front of him and blocked that bottle using her arm. Immediately, her sleeve was cut off and her arm had little cuts and scratches here and there, they are all bleeding.

"Naomi!"

She turned towards the guy, a kick several punches and a final kick, she had the man down. This time there is no getting up for the guy. She stood there, and pressed down on her arm.

"NAOMI!"

She turned around, and was caught off guard by Tyson's hug. She just stood there, not knowing what to do.















[Hotel]













Naomi looked up as the door opened and Tyson poked his head in. When his eyes landed on Naomi he smiled and walked in.

"How's your arm?"

Naomi glanced down at her arm which is bandaged, she just shrugged.

"Well... thanks for saving me back there. I could be in heaven right now, if you didn't show up." Tyson said, sitting down in front of her.

Naomi gave him a look.

"Are you sure you'll go to heaven?" She asked, coldly.

Tyson scratched his head at that and laughed. She looked at him, with no emotions at all, but her eyes softened up and her defense of other people are gone.

"So... Naomi, now that we are friends, can you tell me why are you so cold all the time?" Tyson asked.

Naomi frowned as the ice came back in her eyes as she narrowed them. Her honey-brown eyes look deadly and sad at the same time.

"Cecilia, Charlotte, Amara and I all came from rich families. We have own backgrounds and our own business to deal with. Believe it or not, I was very shy before. Therefore, when I saw this guy that I... liked, I never got the chance to talk to him, because I was shy. Somehow, he came to me and asked me out and we were this happy couple that everyone admired. Unknown to me, my family business is slipping down day by day. At the end, I found out that he only came here for revenge and he got his revenge, because we had nothing left.

"I never had a mother, she died when she gave birth to me. My father raised me up, but when my family business came down on us, he died of the shock. What that guy didn't predict was that Cecilia, Charlotte and Amara all pitched in and helped me. I took over my family business and started the whole thing all over again."

She said as she closed her eyes for a brief moment then opened them again.

"Who's the guy?" Tyson asked, gritting his teeth.

"He's already dead." Naomi said carelessly.

They then settled in silence for a while before Tyson broke it up.

"Um... I want to ask you a question." He said, slightly nervous.

"What is it?"

"Remember today, when you said... that you'd rather go out with me than hook up with the other guy. What did you mean by that?" He asked.

"What it means."

"Um... are you sure you'd rather go out with me?"

Naomi looked at the top of his head and then looked down.

"What do you want to ask?"

Tyson gulped and then took a deep breath, then looked up at her.

"I guess... I'm asking if... you were serious about it or not..." His voice grew quieter and he trailed off in his sentence.

Naomi looked up at him, and then nodded her head.

"Why? I mean... you are rich, and popular, you could have anyone you want, why me?" He asked.

Naomi sighed and looked towards the windows.

"I might be cold, but I get lonely sometimes. Except for Cecilia, Charlotte and Amara, no one comes close to me. They are all afraid of me somehow. They think that because I'm cold, I must be mean as well. You were the first one that got close to me, and was not scared by me. I think you have lots of guts and courage, and that's why..."

Naomi stopped and turned back towards him.

"And that's why I like you." She said quietly, and seemed to be ashamed of herself at the same time.

Tyson didn't say anything after that, Naomi thought that she had lost another one. She sighed and stood up.

"Look, I understand that you don't want to..." Without a chance to finish the sentence, she felt Tyson hugging her. She stood there frozen.

"I can't believe you actually like me! HA! I'll show Kai and Ray and Max and Kenny and everyone else I know!" He said, while laughing and tightened his arm around her.

She closed her eyes and put her head down onto Tyson's shoulder, they stayed there for a minute before Tyson pulled back suddenly.

"YOUR ARM! IT'S BLEEDING AGAIN, AHHHHH!" He yelled, while looking at her arm. Red spots are showing underneath the bandage.

Naomi looked down and shrugged, finding his out burst funny.

"It's nothing, I've had worse than this."

"Meaning?"

"Meaning you don't want to know how many times I have been in the hospital just for connecting my bones back together."

"WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY? FROM NOW ON, I FORBID YOU TO DO ANY DANGEROUS TASKS, AND YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY A WEAPON AROUND WITH YOU..." Tyson rumbled on and on about how she should take care of herself.

Naomi turned her head half way during his lecture and looked outside the windows, for the first time in 4 years her face softened and a small smile appeared on her face.

'Looks like I've got myself a boyfriend that gets worried easily. I have a feeling that things are going to be very different from now on.' She thought as her smile deepened.

What she doesn't know is that he will forever change her life, and she will become a better person because of him.
