Waiting On You [18+]

"And then he said that you were so pretty...Prettier than any other girl he'd ever been with before" Skai recited what Theo had told her about Naomi

"Did he now?" Naomi giggled knowing that Theo definitely liked it when Skai asked about her

"Yep and-"

"And you're all done little missy" Naomi finished as she'd put the lid back ontop of Skai's cream and watched the little girl run straight to her mirror

"Oh my gosh I love it!" She squealed, "it looks just like how mummy did it" Skai admired as she smoothed out her dress, "Can I go and show everyone?"

"Yes you can" Naomi smiled, happy to let the little girl go and show off her hair whilst she packed everything away as it wouldn't take no longer than a minute or so

Once Naomi had packed everything away, she made her way into Skai's and her parent's shared bathroom, to wash her hands.

Faintly, amongst the water running, Naomi heard the bedroom door shut.

"Skai?" Naomi called out, "Don't tell me you're back already because you've messed up your hair again" she joked

But the funny thing was, Naomi got no response.

Turning off the water, Naomi couldn't hear anything so she brushed it off, clearly mishearing things. So she began to dry off her hands on a towel.

Immediately Naomi felt her waist being grabbed and someone cuddling themselves into her as they nuzzled their face into her neck

Almost kicking into fight or flight, Naomi relaxed into the hold, knowing too well who it was.

"Theo!" Naomi laughed, knowing what he was like, as she playfully warned him "stop it" she smiled

"Theo stop" she repeated as she felt his grip tighten on her waist

A little too tight

"Theo I said-" she paused, feeling rough hands roam over her body - touching her, groping her, hurting her

Looking into the mirror reflection Naomi froze when she saw who was looking back at her

Who was touching her

Who had her in their arms

"My Naomi" he hummed, "I knew I'd find you"

Naomi swallowed harshly at the sound of his voice.

That voice

The same voice she thought she'd heard the last of so long ago

The same voice that she thought was a distant memory

Taking her silence as answer, he continued, "What? Not happy to see me" He asked as he turned her around by her waist, making her finally look at him

"My, my Naomi, you didn't think you'd get away from me that easily" he smiled, twirling her natural hair inbetween his fingers as he observed it was in a high puff

"Josiah" she whispered, almost hoping that her saying his name would make it less real. Would make him disappear and she wasn't stuck in the house with him whilst everyone else was outside

"Hey princess" he winked, reminding her of the nickname he'd call her when they first met

His princess, his doll...his toy. The one he got to control

No!

No

No!

This wasn't supposed to happen
