Vision of Love Book 2
*read book 1 before this*
You're special to me. You're the only one who I wouldn't mind losing sleep for, the only one who I can never get tired of talking to, and the only one who crosses my mind constantly throughout the day...
Take me to the King, I don't have much to bring My heart's torn to pieces, it's my offering Lay me at the throne, leave me there alone To gaze upon your glory and sing to you this song
The gospel singer sung Take Me To The King by Tamela Mann as the choir sung along with her. Loud cries came from Darnell mom as she held her son casket, not wanting to go. Demetrius cleared his throat looking down not wanting to watch what was going on.
He could tell his dad family was going through it right now. He rub his sweaty hands on his pants then look over at Constance. She was holding Liam wiping his tears from his cheeks. The choir stopped singing as the pastor came up to the podium.
"Amen, amen, amen. Isn't God good?" He said and the congregation all replied together.
"I said isn't God good!" He repeated himself, the congregation loudly replying.
"Yes he is, amen. Now, before I get into my sermon, I was informed that a special someone wanted to speak on the behalf of his father passing. Demetrius, you can come up." The pastor said, Demetrius sigh getting up and walking up to the podium.
He cleared his throat before speaking, "Umm, I genuinely didn't want to do this because I knew it was going to be awkward, but no matter how grown you are you have to listen to your mother." he began, putting his hands in his pockets.
"With that being said, me and my dad didn't necessarily have the best relationship, but that didn't stop me from having love for him. Sadly, it wasn't reciprocated but I mean what you'd expect when we're not biologically related. And I didn't come up here to bash him cause that's just wrong on my part and that's still my dad. I just, you know, kinda wish things would've been better between us. But, he's in a better place now and may he Rest In Peace."
The congregation clapped as he walked off going back to his seat. He sat down letting out another sigh as the pastor started talking. Constance held his hand, laying her head on his arm. He kiss her forehead then listened to the sermon.

Constance and Liam chuckled as the both of them danced together to the music. Demetrius leaned on the wall watching the two of them from afar. It was after the funeral service and they were having a repast at his mom house. All Darnell family was there making the house very packed and hot.
"Nephew!" He quickly looked over seeing his Uncle Trey walking over.
"Wassup, uncle." He dapped Trey up as he stood next to him.
"You see all these damn people here. Ya mom said you helping her clean up." Trey told him and Demetrius smack his lips.
"Did she really said that or your pretending she did because you don't want to clean up." Demetrius retorted, Trey nodding his head.
